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.

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]I can setup a private chan on IRC give me a time and place.

I see a few orphans, one after the other on fcpool.com and there was an increased hashrate there.

[/quote]Yeah somethign funny is going on for sure… There are alot of orphans on the blockchain as well as the net hash is jumping rapidly.
-
I will shutting off my miners until this gets looked into…wemineftc got orphaned on one block, found two more blocks and then those two blocks just disappeared. Net hash keeps jumping this is not looking good.

Back down to 640.

There’s such a lot of effort on FTC for a ‘dead coin’.

That’s unfortunately what makes the attacks worse. We need to out hash the attackers or at least make it harder for them to out hash us. -

Yeah, it’s 1,479,395 KHash/s last I checked… On the “Last 20 blocks” we only have 4 more blocks to confirm… If only confirmations were always this fast:P

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t we need more hashing power on our end to fight this?

If the “current network hashrate” on the stats page is an average of 60 block, how the hell does it jump to 1.5ghs? Then drop back to 600?

[/quote]Exactly, something isn’t being reported right or we just had the entire LTC pools come slamming down on us for a bit. As always, Bushstar will investigate when he wakes up.
