The small pools can't handle the load of a botnet, and the large ones keep working on kicking them out.
The small pools I've been mining at have been doing quite well during this period of attacks on the large pools. This is exactly why hashing power should not be concentrated in 3 or 4 large pools.
*shrug*
My point is they can't handle the botnet, which is why the botnet is currently throwing a temper tantrum with the major pools. They have nowhere else to mine right now.

You get a better hit if you spell it correctly, and judging from your comments on IRC about gay people and anything related to religion it fits you perfectly. Of course, from your point of view it's probably almost everybody else who are extremists.
FYI. Bitcoins.lc says they're not being ddos'd.
We haven't have any issues with botnet or attacks since ~20 days back
Our system is fully operational and working perfectly.
also used the word "believe"

Thanks, updated.

OP Updated.
Props to the admins at BTCGuild - like the other big pools they were/are getting DOS'd but unlike the other big pools (I mine on all of them) they were not affected by the attack much at all.
p.s. although the attacks are extremely annoying It did make me smile to see Deepbit at 100 g/hash today. Last time I saw that was last spring.

The only reason I've been able to stay online (although we have had a few outages when this all started) is that a large potion of the botnet IP addresses were forwarded to our ISP, which may have been what sparked these attacks in the first place. I had been actively gathering IPs of known infected machines for about 3 days, and let our ISP know that we would be forwarding them a list of infected machines that we would like to get filtered from our servers [I had received emails from the ISP about null'ing our server due to complaints about infected machines pointing at our servers].
A few hours after submitting the list, the attacks started. This is similar to what happened back in July when I banned a large botnet at the server level, and they DDoS'd us offline for 2 or 3 days. This time it seems like they're just throwing a fit and trying to take down all 3 major pools. The small pools can't handle the load of a botnet, and the large ones keep working on kicking them out.

You are right, found NMC blocks on simplecoin.us is way lower than it should be with that hash rate.
on simplecoin.us i allways have the image that theyre giving me lowest amounts. on every other pool u get what u xpect but there, its like theyre keeping half to themselfs.
i would avoid it all all costs, but thats just me

i prefer eligius, and i am sure they are bigger...
As I said, the largest that is not a religious extremist. http://www.google.no/search?q=eligius+bitcoin+prayershe stated that it was just a test - and he stopped it.
i also refused to use eligius because of that; but as he dont do it anymore i dont see any problem now.
I believe http://simplecoin.us is now the largest pool that is not attacked, supports merged mining with Namecoin, and not a religious extremist.

Thanks guys.
