Kano - will the site be using an anti-DDOS solution like Cloudflare. The DDOS seems frequent now? Thanks
Todays was, as I said:
The DDoS itself was about 40 minutes.
The previous one lasted for for 45 minutes
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13355153
So for both of those, I don't see any different DDoS "solution" doing much better.
(especially when the issues seem to be disconnecting from the pool, which even 30s of complete success for the DDoS will cause everyone to disconnect)
I will be setting up some other options soon to reduce the effect on most miners
The previous one to that (September 24) was a data centre attack, not directed at the pool itself, and very large.

so any 'other' solution would have made no difference.
Cloudflare is NOT a mining DDoS solution.
Adding (large) latency to mining (more rejected shares for everyone and more orphans) is not a good idea.
