I'm getting RPC problems on both German servers. Miners accepting NO more work there.
Redirected all to US servers. They seem to work fine....

We are being DDoS'd. DE1 and 2 have been completely shut down, website is highly unresponsive at random intervals. UPDATE: Apparently this guy is extremely pissed off. We're getting bandwith flooded on all 5 servers, to the point that it's risking hitting our monthly bandwith caps. Trying to fix the issue but all of the pools HAVE to go offline right now. |

Working on setting up an IP Whitelist similar to what slush implemented. Taking a day off work so I can stay up and get it implemented ASAP. Until its implemented, all the pools have had all traffic completely blocked off.

PHS 50% PoS - Stop mining start minting

Put in some filters to stop the botnet(s) that were pointed at the servers. IMMEDIATELY saw a performance boost to the servers. Will monitor the results overnight to see if banning THOUSANDS of CPU miners cures the problems.
If you're having trouble connecting after the filters were put in place, send me a PM. Botnets need not apply.
Registrations have been re-opened due to the servers showing an incredible recovery after the bans.
The account balance of the botnet has been donated to Bitcoin Faucet.
Know your busy focus on the pool! when things calm down tho can you post what kind of mhash the botnet was pumping? lol |

I hate Botnets, could you give us the Bitcoin adress of the botnet account? Maybe we can find him and beat him up :-D.
I hope you can fix the problems, cause I like this pool.

How much was it? Only 6.5 BTC unfortunately. They were cashing out very regularly. Apparently their high donation % was a subtle bribe. |

That answer might have never have come because cloudlfare is more or less useless (at least from my experience and what i have heard)..... |

it's a content distribution network, so you probably won't be able to use it to handle getwork-requests  |

Run Chris Howie's bitcoin mining proxy on your rig. It provides multi level instant failover to other pools in case your favorite pool has any kind of problems. Your miners will just keep mining and never even know there was a problem. I love this program. |
*Image Removed* I'm not asking for donations, but if you think YOUR post is deserving a donation FROM me, send me a message.

Your miners will just keep mining and never even know there was a problem. I love this program. I use Diablominer I use -f 1 for my main pool and -f 15 for my backup. mainpool has a blimp backup goes to 100% main pool comes back backup goes back to 1-5% and because you can run all GPU's in 1 window. I only have 2 windows open. I know its down and dirty but it works well. Might try that chris howies thing but. If something works why change it. |
