Don't hate me, but this is really the time for ASIC (a reasonably priced one) to make these god damn botnets worthless for btc mining.

If I could get my hands on one of these operators I'd tie them quartering style to a couple of trees ten feet up and give the wild things a challenge.
Nothing better for these guys, but a suspenseful, agonizing torture.

Why? PTSD?

The private pool is not owned or operated by GPUMAX.

It appears to be owned by a BS&T investor, though.

That's a fail on their part... they should just not do the proportional reward system any more!

We're all doing our part to rectify that situation Wink

Bitcoin today is what the internet was in 1998.

That IP got boring now, seems the new interesting kid on the block is : 178.33.83.15

Nah, that's just deepbit.

Ah, seems to be one of those confused relays, quite a few belong to deepbit while a bunch of them are unknown.

DB's recruiting new IPs regularly to try and put off hoppers.

So why isn't this magical private pool not listed in the allow list in the GPUMAX thread?
Users can't add their own private pools for load testing, and yet here is one that isn't public that people are mining to.

This is starting to stink. Perfect avenue for on-demand Finney attacks just like gmaxwell was worried about.
I mined here on the understanding that only the pools listed were allowed.

The pool isn't used by our users, it's only used by us at this point. Early on it was used for testing and streamlining getwork and long poll connections from our servers. Testing things with our system on public pools it's not something pool ops enjoy.

In the coming weeks we'll be releasing a new phase of GPUMAX that the private pool plays a role in.

Coins are always moving in and out of various wallets within my projects. We don't monitor for "tainted" coins nor do I care about them moving around my wallets. Coins are coins and I treat them all the same.

The private pool is not owned or operated by GPUMAX.

i dunno, that is pretty interesting

i guess we know when ppl are buying mining shares now!

The coins are mined on a 3rd party private pool that we use for testing, load balancing and soon to be part of a upcoming release.

so it is a currently unknown pool owned by GPUMAX? I noticed some of the outputs also had mined at Slush prior to the Linode hack, then at Eclipsemc, and then at some unknown pool(s). Is this accurate?
EDIT; and Eligius and Australia some place. ;p

Also, not that you would have any control over or anyway to even validate it but some of your users have outputs that are also connected to tainted coins. Though none of them directly passing through your addies as far as I can tell.

has anyone tried following some of the outputs to see where else they had been receiving coins from previously? Some very strange things happening in there. My brain started to hurt so I stopped. ;p

I'm still kinda curious about it, but not too much. Looking through what this node is relaying it is looking even more likely that whatever pool is actually solving the blocks just has this node as one of the quicker reporting relays.

His IP also relays a lot of Dice transactions; http://91.203.74.106/ip-address/24.14.208.54
