The closest node to me was probably affected by their DDOSing. I have the miner running in a SSH shell, so I can see all the messages, and it seems like the node is there, just not effective. I was wondering about the website that looked like it had 'Help I'm being attacked' on. Is this confused hacker person trying to go after all the nodes? Isn't a pool spread out as this one, pretty protected? Another pool I have as a backup, has only three nodes, I'd be worried for them. If the attacker is making money this way, who in the world just pays?

I wish they would keep their targets on bitmain, they got greedy with the price increase, and I thought that was more noble. Going after pools is just a desperate attempt at trying to find someone that will pay. Would be amazing to see a gov't find the attacker on behalf of bitcoin.
