Why you people open pools w/o DDoS protection?
Because it's expensive as hell.
I thought you already had DDOS protection
OMFG!!!! these are the people we put our faith and work in for in exchange for our hash rate......... could I bang my head against the wall any harder?
unfreakin real!!!!! No wonder why you are having so many damn problems, you are to stupid to even run a pool..... no wonder your crap is messed up and you have people on here looking for missing coin for the last 12 hrs....... there should be a mandated stupidity test to take before being allowed to open a pool...... what a waste of everyone's time..... stick a SPORK in it, will ya!!!!! edit" You stated you had DDOs protection in a post last night but you were too lazy to use it..........

The IcyHash pool has been closed due to excessive harassment and continuing DDOS attacks. There is no point in me implementing the DDOS protection even though I already have it. Take your hashes somewhere else, I don't want to bother wasting my time anymore. "........
You're true colors are being seen clearly now...... you are too stupid to lie..... the worst thing about lying is that you have to remember what you said....... and YOU can't even do that...... how the hell are you supposed to run a pool?
This is why I don' understand why people don't flock to p2pool nodes. Sure a p2pool node has some ramup pplns time, and sure a node can be ddos attacked, but if you configure your miner with another node as a backup and perhaps a 3rd, if one goes down you just switch to another. There's no loss of shares, no loss of coins and no wasted mining time. No coins kept on the server wallet and no issues with server crashes and losing coins.
It would be very difficult for all the p2pool nodes to be ddos attacked all at the same time, especially on some of the bigger coins where there are dozens of distributed nodes around the world. I just don't get it...
Why are you pointing the finger at me? I'm not the one who DDOSed someone's pool. Don't use me as a scapegoat because you don't know who did it.
