OK. Attack was massive, but not particularly harmful.
I enabled payouts and possibility to update withdrawal addresses.
Attention!!!
Under any circumstances don't use on Coinotron website password that you are using on other sites. Sites perpetually get hacked, their user databases compromised, passwords are then used to log in on our website.
General rule:
Use different password on each cryptocoin site you have account.

I was wondering why my withdrawal wouldn't process.

Seeing 5-8% rejected shares mining LTC with CGminer.
Is that normal?
Is that normal?
No, it's not normal at all. I've seen almost 10% rejected shares on some of my rigs in the last day while mining LTC on Coinotron though.
I just quit earlier for the same reason 10% rejects.
I think it's a combination of having to use a high intensity with scrypt and a share difficulty of '192' the number of shares per minute is very small so everytime a new block is found and those shares are rejected it makes it a huge percentage of the work total.
The pool I swapped to is using a share difficulty of 32, and it's averaging out at 3%
Mining BTC the intensity can be lowered, share diff is 1, and on guild and 50btc reject rate is ~0.01 %

IS the pool under some kind of ddos? Speed fluctuating like crazy, but no stales and/or invalids
Btw, also automatic payout acting up again?

There are quite a lot miners switching to TRC mining when difficulty is low. That causes pool hashrate fluctuations.
Payouts will be enabled soon.
I am not switching, I am sitting at ltc all the time :/

OK, Im glad you are aware of the problem and taking action and updating us on the situation, but blocking all withdrawls is fairly extreme and likely to have a negative effect on the pool. You should maybe change the password requirement to include X number of letters and numbers, and possibly require symbols as well if the brute force attacks are really serious. Id hate to see a captcha required to login, but X number of repeated failed logins should disable logins for X number of minutes/hours. I think most people would be fine with that.
Thanks again for the update and good luck with everything.

I don't want to go into details. I must perform serious check on scale of the attack before I will enable payouts.
Like I said they are attacking concurrently few other sites, so I guess situation is serious.
Your suggestions are fine but there are kinds of attacks they will not stop. And unfortunatelly we are facing such one.

FYI
Coinotron, ltcmine.ru, btc-e.com and give-me-ltc.com are experiencing massive brute force attacks.

I decided to temporally block update of payout address/threshold and withdrawals.
I will keep you posted on the situation.

Withdraw still not working. Can you add a manual payout option?

My past couple TRC withdrawls take some sort of miracle to get them to actually go through. It is almost like I have to plan a day ahead of time to get them out.

Possibly hardware errors?
But yeah, I wish we could see stats for stales and invalids on our account page.

In case I close my account at coinotron, and my LTC, TRC, PPS accounts are below the withdrawal limits - can you trigger a manual payout for me?
Sure. Just send me email with cash out request.

It seems payouts for TRC are not working. I'm well over 5 TRC and no payouts.
I was defragmenting TRC hot wallet.
