I guess I have to ask, since I'm curious: I'm going to guess a big chunk of your miners come from the same IPs, right? So, like, I'm sending you ~20GH/s from IP X.X.X.X. And BobTheMonkey is sending you 20GH/s from X.X.X.X, day in, day out. The log has to show that same traffic pretty constantly.

I have no idea what is required to prevent a DDOS, and I'm not about to claim I do. But in a fairly "small" operation like this (and, realistically, it is pretty small; you're looking at, what, ~550 or so clients connected?), couldn't you just whitelist all the "known" (or at least, say, the "big" known) IP addresses, and block everything else?

I'm assuming of course that only the pool.abcpool.co address is needed to allow mining, and the DDOS attack isn't screwing up something else on the back end.

I'm sure, 100% guaranteed, that my logic is wrong somewhere, but in a purely binary world, I assumed you could just block all traffic to that address except your "known" good miners (such as me, the most attractive member in the world).

So a 4% fee does not include DDOS mitigation?

A 500Gh pool with a 4% fee equals 20Gh of mining power for abcpool.co not to mention other donations.

At an average of $5 / BTC, that's around 16 coins a day for a total of $80. Over 30 days, that's $2400.

Seems like abcpool.co is making enough $$$ to mitigate the attack.

Why aren't you doing this for your loyal customers when you say you have the most reliable pool?

This is an obvious weak link in your reliability.

They were free for a very long time and probably ran at a loss, so I can't complain.
Now they are finally making money and they should invest.

Hmm I guess I've never posted in here so it didn't show up on my new replies list.
Yeah I can't connect of course is the reason I'm posting (and yeah I've read why also)

Bummer. They'll eventually subside. Gave me an excuse to correctly set up my fail over though; I had clients going to like 15 different pools, made it a bitch to find all my money Wink

I'm posting to get email notifications for this thread.

I'm also having issues connecting at the moment, I'm mining for Deepbit.net while I wait for ABCPool.co to get back online.
The barrage has not subsided yet, and I'm afraid a workaround is impossible at the moment.

Time for some sleep. We'll continue working on this first thing tomorrow, but it seems like we may just have to wait this one out.

What is the reason for the outage? I have temporarily switched back to deepbit.

When you initiated the 4% mandatory fee it was because you said you were reliable now. Now with this major outage will you be rolling back the mandatory fees?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.697014

Was it that hard to look up a few posts and do research for yourself ?

Troll much? There were no posts that I saw of at the time. Way off topic with the post. This is about ABCPool and you have no right to post here about non pool related issues.

You're welcome for answering your question.

Hard to believe you missed a post from over 8 hours ago...

Yah god forbid he have to go back one page. 

It was on the same page as this post, your post, my answer to him, and the original answer he asked for posted by the pool OP.

No going back any pages...

He is just trolling my posts. I should have looked back but only looked a few threads and saw no answers.

Not trolling you, just wanting you to do things for yourself...don't be spoon fed.

Back down again for the past hour or so...  Angry
Thanks jwu, we are aware (and still working on it). The attack had subsided for a bit, but is now back in full swing. It seems some more measures are necessary.

Looks like whitelisting may have begun; a good chunk of my miners at my primary location are back, but alternate locations (and thus IPs) still showing down.
UPDATE: we have been experimenting with various ways of mitigating the attack. A portion of all users is now able to mine again, but network congestion from the attack could degrade performance. If you are experiencing dropped connections you are advised to use a backup pool for now.

If you cannot connect, it will probably be at least 8 hours before you can mine on ABCPool again.

Confirmed the website is back.  My miners are still unable to connect.
