@tross hope they will be back once everything will be ok
-
With all the issues I've been having with pools lately decided to try solo for the first time and hit a block within the first hour of mining and missed another by a min or so. Not bad...
-
The pool looks fine once again!
Now I'm traveling, in few days I'll point the 415 TB back to the pool
-
The pool is running smoothly but we seem to be quite unlucky lately (hitting less than 20 blocks per day according to http://blocks.burstxd.com/). Also many miners have left since last weeks pool problems and I sure do hope they come back..

Well, I was some weeks on ccminer with my 120 TB miner.
Now I'm pretty done with ccminer for several reasons:
-
Pool-Support is arrogant and selfish:
For example: I stacked up over 350 Burst at the pool that had to be payed out. Bad luck that the payout block (370966) was somehow invalid and no transactions could be made at all. I asked the support to make the payout on another block. The answer was like "Bad luck, you won't get any Burst". So the pool/ccminer kept all the mined Burst from block 370962.
Its not much Burst, but I think, this behaviour says much about the owner. -
Unacceptable Pool downtime:
Lost over a day of mining because of pool downtime. For one of the biggest mining pools (at least several days ago), it's not acceptable that the pool is down such a long. Don't you have any DDoS protection? Isn't there a fallback solution when the server is getting attacked? What about services like Cloudflare?
It looks like ccminer doesn't matter this problems at all.
Just wait till the DDoS attacks are over and hope that the miner will come back? Did you provide ANY solution that will prevent the pool from being down when it will be attacked again? -
CC1000 Asset management:
Has nothing to do with the pool directly, but the way the asset was managed also says many about ccminer. Again, selfish (Buying misc HW like PSU from Asset shares, although he promised not do something like that) and arrogant (well, look at his answers there) behavior.
Though the income was not that bad when mining on ccminers pool, the circumstances made me to try other pools with better community and more open and friendly owner.

The pools don't work behind CloudFlare - no idea why. I've setup the same proxy they use, and I can proxy the pools. The pool is protected by an nginx proxy, but at time the DDoS attacks are so intense it's just simply not possible to transmit data. Intense, high traffic volume attacks are not practically stoppable.

@haitch I get the same thing just using csf settings. Best bet would be to catch the attacker! What I experience is a low level attack that an experience firewall person could beat but still the website would lag. I believe it someone in burst wanting to make a killing. If that google guy uses bots then he is attacking our pools too. I traced one ip to San Francisco and when it was banned my site reacted differently.

@haitch Then what is your opinion about about pool.burstcoin.ro? The owner advertises his pool for his Cloudflare protection.
-
@tross When the really intense attacks happen the proxies stay up, but are impacted. Wiresharking where the traffic is coming from shows hundreds of addresses. They're also able to eventually max out my firewall concurrent connection limit - 110,000 connections.
-
@haitch I really appreciate your effort. It also seems like you are much more into having a stable pool than ccminer is.
But again, what were your actions to prevent such downtimes in the future?
The problem I see is when mostly of the big miner come back, the pool will be again the focus of the attacker. Do we see then downtimes again or do you have protection X or plan Y now?
-
Thats my problem I had 500+ miners now 200 less. Let my pool get a few blocks then hammered again.
-
@Halbert Generally they're not going after the pools - though they have on occasion - the focus has been on the wallets and the forums. The pools are protected as best as possible by Nginx proxies which can continue working during packet attacks, however if the attack consumes all my available bandwidth, there is basically nothing I can do to mitigate it.

He's using a Uray/Lexicon pool, they can apparently work with CloudFlare. I run Ninja style pools, and they are not compatible with CloudFlare.
