Information on attacks
-
The network hash rate has gone from 600Mhash to 1Ghash in the last few mins.
-
Someone wants to move a lot of feathercoin, probably via an exchange.
wow, thats some speed

Correctly if I’m wrong, but in response to the last attack, the following occurred:
50 confirms on BTC-E
100 on cryptonit. -
I plan to meet with Bush and pool-owners to figure out what we can do to help mitigate these DDOS attacks. As Feathercoin starts climbing, I expect to see more attempts on the coin.

[/quote]yeap, but looking at the blockchain no large amounts are being moved, maybe its someone we pissed off, showing off with their 1/2Ghash power trip.

How hard is it for an ltc pool (or any other scrypt pool) to swing their hashes to ftc for a short while?

[/quote]I just spoke to Bushstar (who spoke to Coinotron earlier). It’s hard to pinpoint where it’s coming from. I’m thankful for the bump in confirmations from the last attack.

maybe we should just thank them for cutting the re-target time way down *evil grin*

If we ain’t careful it’ll push the diff UP!

[/quote]Since we’re calculated over the full 504 blocks, as long as this is temporary, we shouldn’t see *much* on an effect right?

[/quote]It already has a little

I am a noob when it comes to the mining and diff changes (straight up buyer) and have always wondered how the hash effects the difficulty, is there a specific hashrate that would be an up or down point for the next retarget?
-
400Mhash just dropped off the network, back to just under 600Mhash now.

[/quote]Yup!

I thought the confirmations were going a little fast… lol I checked the stats page too and we have 11 1/2 minute blocks…

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.
[/quote]BTC-e is very slow. If you send to you wallet it goes like normal. Its a BTC-e thing with that.
