The problem with unconfirmed transactions is solved.
Usually many of free transactions in the network are confirmed by our pool, but this time they were not included because of accidental settings change during restart.

Yeahhhh reeeeaaallllly not enjoying practically having a Hold on funds

Wait is your BTC showing up in the Bitcoin client?

Are you just saying it's not getting confirmed?

I'll answer for him - yes, at least on mine, I see a 0/unconfirmed, date 13.6.2011 23:15 local time, Credit [+4.96]. It's also visible on the bitcoincharts, but it's not getting confirmed since the funds it's coming from are not confirmed, and thus the priority is 0.

Odd, that almost implies that deepbit is paying with recently mined blocks that are not themselves fully confirmed [120 confirmations].  Is the guy broke?   Shocked

uhhh i was issued an auto payout at 11am PST and it's now 5:12, Thats six hours.
Wtf? where are my coins

Same here, over three hours.  I wouldn't worry about no receiving it [I assume it shows in your client with 0 confirmations].  BlockExplorer also seems to be down so I wasn't able to verify that it has been pushed into a block.  I suspect that deepbit hasn't put all the payouts into blocks yet and since there has been DDOS activity against the pools, and apparently blockexplorer and other sites, my guess is that the transaction hasn't been registered with anybody else since the payout and since deepbit itself hasn't put it in a block it solves (payouts are certainly low or lowest priority), confirmations are delayed.  They will happen soon enough I suspect.  It isn't ideal if you want to trade, but nothing to do with bitcoin is these days.  At least the price is fairly stable if that is what you plan to do with your payout in the immediate future.  I restarted my client once just to make sure I wasn't doing full P2P (uPnP registration lost) and it turned out I was.  No new blocks downloaded and peers slowly creeping back up [was at 53 at restart and I verified via netstat -a].  Once the first confirmation occurs, I think they will start going up more or less normally.

Most probably stuck in the same limbo as my 4.96 coins (been 4 hours+ now, and no sign of the payment progressing on the bitcoincharts), it seems that the transactions got a zero priority since the input coins are unconfirmed:

input: 42.42758891 BTC

    42.42758891 BTC from unconfirmed ec5ac4b7bd51997a03f23bb77c91b4a7d6267fdf08bab217926e347ac721ab21:0 (17hytzuhKtDNqgH78FZPk1nPZy541crspQ)

output: 42.42758891 BTC

    37.46758891 BTC to 1BufeGhiUS9Mjg7hugXewpJopPyybRYK4H
    4.96000000 BTC to 16XrZP4z3Q6JtBMC8MgKg9p7x3UnU3YSVF

Any word on this, Tycho? That's a nice... 100 USD stuck there for who knows how long, the priority hasn't gone up a tad bit in the last 4 hours.

Im a bit confused, Tycho can you please explain to me how these 2 payouts differ so much ?

14.06 00:27:58   0h 27m    1806    1227061     0.00960466

14.06 00:00:00   0h 29m    1910    1264240     0.07327327


Both of them were on prop and quite similar timeframes,sharesizes and total shares however the payout is exponentially less on the more recent one?

I believe these are DDOS attacks, Slush got hit too.

Site was DDoSed, pool is now rejecting all connections from unknown IPs. Please follow forum thread for more information.

Hes added a IP whitelist...
I wonder if deepbit will do the same?

[Edit] If it happens, I hope we can do it by C class - would be more convenient for dynamic IPs

I wasn't able to connect to Slush, Deepbit or BTC Guild for awhile and only Deepbit worked at all today and it got to the point where it was cycling my GPUs too much and I shut down all mining (working without the sound of roaring fans is nice though Smiley ).  

Things are much better right now ... so something got fixed.  I can connect to at least two pools [haven't tried Slush or BTCMine yet].

EDIT:  Maybe Slush was hit by a DDOS, but I am not at all sure about other pools.  Their hash rates remained high when I checked [I wasn't able to get to Slush's page, but BTC Guild, Deepbit and BTCMine sites were up and showing decent pool hash rates].

Is anyone else having connection problems like this...



Yep.  I think it may be an attack on miners as opposed to the pools this time.  Not entirely sure how since I can't access routers between here and the pools.  Things are temporarily, at least, running full for me all of a sudden [with BTC Guild] ... I still can't connect to Deepbit via RPC [but I can the site].

I have been having the same exact problems today... It went as far as my NIC not working. Had to restart it manually... Not sure what to think att his point... You do not have Comcast for internet by chance do you? Wonder if they would be cracking down on network usage? Wouldnt be the first time they did that....

Yes, I do use Comcast.  I don't think that they would be doing anything however.  They learned the hard way about bit torrent [I use it rarely and there are plenty of legitimate uses; for me, that is where I downloaded the latest Debian DVDs for instance].  The amount of traffic generated by miners [and bitcoin clients] would be small.  It is not noticeable at all on the usage meter for the month [Netflix streaming alone dwarfs that].  It could be that Comcast is having some issue, but if so, I wouldn't think it would affect so many pools [and seemingly only pools and not their sites] without it being intentional which is why I think it may be a third party [some miners wanting to get ahead before the difficulty increase?], I remained connected to work via VPN for 10 hours straight minus the modem and router reboot to change my IP address.  I am reasonably sure that all the DDOS going on over the last many weeks has been from somebody who is a member of this forum or at least reads it.

EDIT:  I think it is definitely NOT Comcast.  Slush and Deepbit are totally unavailable to me for mining, but BTC Guild IS available, but the miner idles are too outrageous to use [no RPC connection errors however].

Sorry tycho. Switching to another pool until you figure out this connection stuff that has been plaguing you the past few days.

I can't connect to ANY pool except deepbit and when I am connected it get lost communication so often that it will destroy my GPUs, so I shut down all mining.  I think an attack on major pools [or perhaps an attempt to distrupt miners as opposed to the pools themselves] might be going on.  I even had my IP address changed and it worked very smoothly for about 10 minutes and then after that I got stomped again.  I will disengage dynamic DNS registration and see if perhaps an attacker is following me by domain name.  Seems rather improbable though.

Not sure what the heck is going on.
