Sorry guys, if the pool had any kind of balance I'd try to help out and send some extra along as well, but I'm as wiped out as everyone else.
Note; There were a couple of blocks confirmed after this incident that I need to manually pay out. I'll look into doing that tomorrow (late here). Thanks for the support at the pool and hopefully things stick from here on out.

that is depressing. i jus woke up, i was mining on the pool right from the beginning, to find that some fool just wiped out 12 hours of work, so essentialy 40 elc down the drain. anyone manage to trace the ip ? would be nice to send this guy a few "custom " packets of data.

Not for long, with coinchoose showing 400% profitability the difficulty is about to spike back to 2+ within hours. Most blocks are being found in <20 seconds now. We'll see what happens but I'm guessing with the extemely low volume on cryptsy and an influx of miners looking to dump that the price is going to plummet.
agreed. i dont think its worth 400% of btc. it needs a proper adjustment. id ont know what that is. but it will bring more miners in.
ill resend all the GIVEAWAYS though.
Thanks for resending the giveaways! It will help a little to recoup the cost of that lost mining time.

my transaction list is empty, not even orphans so... oh well back to BTC. Too bad since I really liked this coin.
what can you do. every coin is subject to this, even BTC. there's a billion $ in btc, so someone who thinks $10M is worth wasteing on it to get $100M of value could do the same thing.
unfortunately for these coins, somone willing to waste $100 of hashing power on messing with us can do the same thing. the only protection of course is to have more hash power.
the coin isnt instantly dead, just those blocks arent valid in your and my chain. what that means for future is the same as any coin: i dont know. why would someonetry to take over the coin so hard as to make its value $0? dont they want value in the coin? so obviously the coin will survive or there's no point to it. keep mining, the rewards are still more than usual.

June 03, 2013, 10:15:06 PM
Same thing happened to me and all blocks at that pool got orphaned as well.
June 03, 2013, 10:14:54 PM
wow, that is atrocious 
elacoind listtransactions "" 100| grep orphan| wc -l
55
55 orphans in last 100 transactions (including sends. In fact, 0 generated coins now!!!). wtf.
