Topic: What's up with all the DDoS? - page 2. (Read 2855 times)
The issue here is you'd have to wait until the next difficulty change for it to be worth it - as until then/stopping DDoS, you're just having to mine slowly? :s
My friend had the idea of "what if someone's going DDoS EVERYONE then MINE ALL ALONE so that the difficulty would be theroretically next to nothing.
I told him "dude everyone'll go solo"
He said that "yeah but if you take down the pools then most miners are pointed AFK for awhile, And if your the fastest guy in solo you'd maybe get a block"
I said that it wouldnt be worht the effort
Why you should always have a fallback to solo mining. I told him "dude everyone'll go solo"

It's like someone's trying to damage/bring down Bitcoin -- maybe they're selling a bunch of Bitcoin at the same time?
We are being challenged, we can come through.
Slush's pool AND Deepbit are both getting hit big-time, repeatedly, with Distributed Denial of Service attacks!
What gives?
What gives?
1. target ~65% of aggregate mining pool with hired zomB net DDoS
2. Continue to mine your own 20-50 Ghash minifarm solo
3. Increase personal likelihood of mining whole blocks by factor of 1000
4. Profit

Add my site to the list as well 
HAARP can only create superstorms and influence the weather -- pretty powerful stuff, but it can't perform a DDoS.
Quit being silly.

ZOMG! its HAARP!!!! I knew IT!
