What abuse are you referencing?

The hashes went to 1.5 Ghs and orphans are showing up in some pools. They came out of nowhere. I also hear there are DDoS attacks. We’re not going to sit by.

Oh okay. I did not realize that was going on.

It looks like some miners are jumping pool to pool throwing out bad blocks and the moving to the next. :P Didn’t realize Feathercoin was THAT much a threat. heh

Are people solo mining now?
Sounds like the smartest move right now.
Setup a P2Pool to mine off a centralized site.
Just some suggestions for you miners.

There are too many people bashing each other. The coin community as I am just getting into it seems a little bit insane at times… especially in a couple places lol geez!
At the same time I think I have learned enough to know that… Yes there are people scared of feathercoin especially after the price jump today on btce! \m/ Which I thought was kind of awesome! Kind of a punch in the face to haters everywhere! Which completely explains any sort of ddos/51% attacks. There are to many people hyped up with whatever the newest low diff coin. I can’t lie I have 7 or 8 wallets with tiny balances… It’s kind of cool to be able to receive more coins with slower hardware even if they aren’t worth anything today…
Either way I hope you guys are able to keep all this bull under control!
People should really stop putting massive amounts of hashing power per what coinchoose tells them to! F^^^!
-
No seriously I would like to know how many people out there with 5+ mh/s in the past 24 hrs or… however long coinchoose has been down for… went to coinwars instead and saw feathercoin at the top of that list for the first time in a while and freaked out like wtf?! That stupid autocoin switching software according to most profitable coin of the day can screw with the whole entire crypto network for everycoin it seams…

[/quote]It shouldn’t cause a problem at all, hopping from coin to coin has been going on for months and other coins are not breaking. If FTC alone is suffering it will be because the block rate was allowed to stay too high for so long, opening I security hole with confirmation delay.
[/quote]Most other coins are either stagnant or have very little long term value projections. That’s my 00000010 cents… I see it a bit differently. Either way, there’s work to be done.

[/quote]The problem as I see it, and I could possibly most likely in fact probably be entirely, wrong, is that there should realistically be a lot of medium hash miners, spread evenly. As opposed to a few miners with super computers plugged into a small nuclear facility, pushing out the majority of the hashing on the network.
That way, the problems of mining till difficulty makes it less attractive for them and they jump back to other coins, is lessened, and the spread of the coin is more even. Rather than a few getting thousands of coins a week, and others a mere few.
The problem is there are not that many over all, I guess, at this time. So the big rigs are needed to get the network hash rate up. But this is the self-defeating cycle we’re constantly seemingly battling.
It can be compared to real mining, in a way, I guess. If everyone was prospecting with a pan, and getting reasonable amounts, then it’s a sustainable environment and evenly distributed. But when the company comes along with the explosives and blows away large chunks of land, they benefit and then move on. Leaving the others to dig through the rubble and realising it’s now a lot harder to find the same consistency that they did only yesterday.
That’s what I thought the entire concept of scrypt mining was about, to stop people with asic builds raping the environment. But this is countered with lots and lots of little gpu farms doing the exact same thing. So it’s not really changed anything… at least in my mathematically innumerate brain… ahh well.
And at the end of the day, you can’t really blame anyone for maximising their profit…

I don’t scare.

Those time stamps must be fake. They coudn’t afford 490GH/s hash power. The whole Litecoin network is at 19GH/s currently. They generated a chain and injected it.

I guess they have managed to make those extra 300K and got away.

[/quote]Who pays for the extra 300k? Is it just randomly made? :S

That’s a quick analysis. They could have made more or nothing at all. Although they have tried hard by combining block generation and DDoS assaults on the largest FTC pools. Someone did the homework well, a classic repeated 51% attack.

A good question is who has suffered in this attack. Not exchanges this time.
