Everyone, if you think about it we can't really spread the hash around. We need to have 1 major or 2 major pools. We need a moneropool.org MH/s hash rate again. That pool was DDOS'ed because it was not prepared. Mitigating DDOS, having multiple entry and exit points help, load balancing and bgp is key. There are more ways to protect, but i won't list them all - you can google it.
Which pool has this sort of protection? I bet none to very few.
I think we need to all pick 1 or 2 pools and throw our hashes at them. I have a total of 7 KH/s on mro.extremehash.com right now. I also have 1 KH/s on pool.cryptoescrow.eu. But there may be better ones.
As a community, we need to vote. Then the winner of the vote get's our hashes. But the winner needs real protection which costs real money. IMO, if a pool can't spend money upfront, then the pool should not be started.
@ Extremepool we have our own datacenter West Coast USA.
We do not have our servers online with a 3rd party hosting service.
No one has tried to DDOS our pools, at least not that I am aware of, and if they have they have been unsuccessful.
Wolf' has verified our servers are secure and firewalled. If anyone wants more information feel free to ask or pm me.
