Network under dos attack?

hushabuba · September 2016

How is this even possible with the amount of hashrate already on the network? I have no clue what is going on regarding this situation and any clarification on what is going on would be appreciated thanks.

Four pools hold 75% of network hashrate. https://etherchain.org/statistics/miners
Thus - easy to DDoS.
Solo/independent miners - only ~5%.

Rigs are down.

stevie_8368 · September 2016

both my mining rigs having problems,geth crashing and not down loading blocks,same with both machines and happened same time,is this related?

SpydrMstrmnd · September 2016

It's a geth attack from what I read

Jukebox · September 2016

Dwarfpool - no problems now.

oakey22 · September 2016

No problem with nanopool

ronin · September 2016

Ethermine major issue with geth. ~~Wonder if this will spread? Could it be the start of something bigger?~~

Problems now with nano

Truthchanter · September 2016

Any networks/pool still up? I usually use ethermine.org but wouldn't mind temporarily switching until ethermine is working again

edit: ethermine.org working with something called parity

stevie_8368 · September 2016

That explains it then thanks SpydrMstrmnd,new something was up with 2 machines running geth stopped working

nanopool isn't working. Showing 0.0 Hashrate and no workers.

hushabuba · September 2016

its a memory leak with geth which is why only some pools are effected which is why ethermine is changing to parity

get some cheap eth before devcon while you still can

percy_tc · September 2016

Dwarfpool still works.

stevie_8368 · September 2016

mining pool hub still up

Jukebox · September 2016

Dwarfpool works but show message
Due to attack on ethereum network, payments will be delayed

stevie_8368 · September 2016

Bittrex have pulled there ether wallets, under maintenance lol looks like there taking no chances

lonpotts07 · September 2016

Do you mean the mining difficulty will be down for a few hours or something?

hushabuba · September 2016

@Truthchanter yes until this issue is resolved the majority of pools will be down unless they move to parity, last I checked difficulty was 60 terahash from 75 yesterday.

KREION · September 2016

So what's going on with our miners that are working now?
Currently on dwarf, and I can see my miners working but no eth on my account?

hushabuba · September 2016

Payments will be delayed because of this issue as far as I know

iamkony · September 2016

Nano pool still not working

jdet · September 2016

All pools are down due to the memory leak in Geth.

lonpotts07 · September 2016

dwarfpool is working fine just connected an hour ago, payments are being delayed but at least my miners are still mining

Truthchanter · September 2016

ethermine.org working with something called parity

Flexin · September 2016

I mine on ethermine.org and and my miner work well again, but seems the payments are delayed, because my unpaid balance is not updated

ronin · September 2016

Ethermine back for me also

vlcmstne · September 2016

Is anyone having issues with balance on etherscan

Howdy, Stranger!
