I've been mining with Wafflepool for weeks but since they changed their server last week, my hash was down to zero intermittently for many hours a day. I know it was blamed on DDOS, but are we protected now? If not, how do we know if the attack will come back or not? Until I get some answers, I'm out of here. So many things going on these days... difficult to trust anonymous and virtual entities when money is involved. Sometime I feel this whole crypto thing is a big scam with MtGox being the tip of the iceberg.

make sure you have some fail-over pools configured. Indeed we lost quite a bit to DDOS over past couple days but if you have one or more fail-over pools configured, no lost mining time

have faith don't give up too soon.

EDIT: I have 8 pools in my cgminer.conf ... what's the probability of them ALL going down ...

See my post on this page about quota mining https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5884395

I am going to stick with mining and trading. Until trust and confidence in BTC is restored (No thanks to MtGox fiasco) the alt-coin markets will suck ...

Time to watch a movie and fall asleep on it LOL

poolwaffle is doing the best he can trying to make ME money also

whatever we can do to help the pool profits us all. Don't blame the pool for low BTC/MHs, the alt-coin market is down across the board Sad

there is always some risk in playing the markets, some win some lose.

I am gambling on MOON coin to rise again ...

We mined the F out of it and value dropped immensly ... my vote hold coins till it recovers exchange value ...

which might be a good tactic for profitability of the pool if we hammer a coin and price starts falling badly, hold coins and exchange when coin recovers? (as long as my shares are recorded LOL!)

I agree in some way, but there is a risk the coin drops further or goes back to 0.00000000001

Also another problem here is the pool owner does not get his profits straight away then

and I guess they think the price can drop further so that extra work off holding , and cashing out at a better can be for nothing especially if it drops then there some manual work needed which i think most do not want this.

This is the problem with multipools The pool owners are in for the profit not for the coin industry they are the ones making the larger profits daily by the time the coin industry is depleted if it does become depleted that is, they have already made there 100s of thousands of profit, the question is how much have we made?

@poolwaffle,

Hello apologies if this has already been asked. Is there any reason why flappy coin remains unconverted even though it is confirmed?

Thanks in advance for your respone

I'm in this for the long haul and holding coins is not a big problem for me ... sell when advantageous ...

In the future of pool development maybe an auto-trading bot would be cool too buying/selling the more lucrative coins before cashing out to BTC for members.

http://www.haasbot.com/

out of my range but might be worth it for a pool operator to buy.

Let bot trade for 1 day before payouts ...
arbitrage? between multiple exchanges could increase profit also ..

I would devote 100% mining power to the pool if this would become a reality, there is a LOT of profit to be made in trading back and forth coin to coin ...

@poolwaffle hope you are using RAID redundency on the servers ... I keep all my important stuff (movies, wallets, music collection on RAID-5 and as I am running 24/7 I have drive fails approx every 2 months so far recoverable and RMA failed drives, always keep a spare online)

my wallets on SSD and backed-up daily to another RAID-5 and flash drives also.

I have edited my post quite a bit and am replying to this. I daytrade when I am awake, and a bot working for pool would be advantagious I think.

How do I verify what IP addresses my pools are connected to in cgminer, and then how do I know that those are the correct ones?

easiest way is to look at frontpage of pool and see if your hashrate seems correct .

add 2>logfile.txt to your cgminer startup batchfile or scrypt and you can check for redirects ...

For winblowz use something like this:

@echo off
COLOR 0A
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
:START
START /B /WAIT /NORMAL C:\cgminer-3.7.3\cgminer.exe -c c:\cgminer-3.7.3\twocards.conf 2>logfile.txt
TIMEOUT /T 10 >NUL
GOTO :START

Why the way this is written? if you want to modify your .conf file and restart cgminer just hit Q and it will die and restart

I recommend kalroth cgminer as it is still being maintained and there is a new one 20140324

EDIT: if you restart, the logfile will be overwritten ... to APPEND to file rather than overwrite use 2>>logfile.txt if I remember correctly ... getting old and forgetful

@poolwaffle

what would it take to set up a midwest endpoint? I would be willing to run it on RAID-5 box ...

The more endpoints the harder to DDOS them all.

Miners slowly returning to waffle

Hashrate: 17.13 GH/s Miners: 3389

CM's hashrate about doubled during the WP DDOS and currently still shows about 22.4 GH/s

GHash.IO/LTC went from 8 to 30 back to 8 GH/s.

Probably largely attributable to our waffle-friendly whale. I see his is dipping his toes back into the water here, and I hope we stay up and running today.

Is someone experiencing slowdowns? Hashrate goes to nearly half of the actual values somewhere during the whole process and stays there, same for WU. Experiencing this on two different machines located geographically apart on different ISP's.

waffle uswest at my average hashrate currently
