I'm really liking btcguild but man.... all these times I keep having to change servers is getting old. I know it's not your fault. Good luck on getting it all fixed and set up!

I emailed the btguild webmaster last week to look into Cloudflare.com
ddos mitigation someone on mtgox support mentioned it it is virtually free
never heard back from them...
now i am hooked up to slush's pool

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

The account balance of the botnet has been donated to Bitcoin Faucet.
How much was it?
Only 6.5 BTC unfortunately. They were cashing out very regularly. Apparently their high donation % was a subtle bribe.

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.

Taking a day off work so I can stay up and get it implemented ASAP.
OMG that is insane. Wish we could help.

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.

Thanks for all the hard work eleuthria and for keeping us informed. Much appreciated.

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.

Thanks for letting us know. mining on my backup pool right now soon as this one comes back I will point my miners back here. Good luck

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.

Take a look at bitcoinwatch pie chart now....massive "other"

Lesson learned. Filtering out a botnet ends up in a DDoS. I guess they had to do SOMETHING with all those computers.
July 05, 2011, 12:31:55 AM
Well it is sporadically working on/off for last 10min or so now.
But mostly not working, ie disconnected, failed to connect, queue empty, miner idle etc.

I've switched to Deepbit for now, this is the 3rd morning in a row that I am waking up to idle workers unfortunately.
