      Scrypt botnets are CPU only. Consider about 30KH/s for a 3GHz quad core i7 with HT enabled. A 3GHz Core 2 Duo or Athlon X2 won’t hit even 10KH/s while an old mainstream HD5750 is capable of >150KH/s. Fat chance for botnets.

      15KH/s? It’s not worth to mine solo with 150KH/s or even with 1.5MH/s unless difficulty descreases significantly.

          1: GPU botnets by injecting mining code into a fake upgrade for a game.
          2: Data centers and botnets with 10s of thousands per fleet.

          Still most likely is people who believe in ZTC, Zee Troo Coeen! putting together a rogue pool.

          There is a simple way to handle this. Set up the marketplace in forum so we ignore the prices on the exchanges. Those prices are pure fantasy and we should only use them to acquire cheap coins from unbelievers.

            Most people with Radeons don’t even bother to install OpenCL. BTW, scrypt miner needs to be configured manually in order to run fast.

            A good idea.

              The upgrade would do the install.

                      ftc.d2.cc pool is working just fine, I also have trouble reaching http://www.coinotron.com/ so it seems coinotron might have some troubles…

                          Something odd is going on right now, most pools are down and my deposit to btc-e hasn’t been credited at 16 confirms. I am dedicating hashrate right now to help counteract the attack that is likely happening right now I hope others do as well.

                            The 16 confirms isn’t unusual… last week, I had more than that until they eventually confirmed it.

                                  Oh ok good to know, thanks. Although it seems as though something is up given that most ftc pools seem to be down.

                                  The pools are something I don’t know about… I’m shooting our Miner leads and Bushstar a message. The additional confirmations from BTC-e are to protect possible attacks.

                                    I think summat could be up.

                                    I have found no blocks all day and now the block that I did mine has died too. Started mining back on Serraz pool and lost a block there too. Been over 2 hours since finding a successful block.

                                    On the other hand… Could be crappy luck. :-\

                                      Coinotron has posted a news update stating that ftc is under attack too.

                                          The network hash rate has gone from 600Mhash to 1Ghash in the last few mins.
