Bitmain,

Can you update us as to the problem?

Is it Ddos attacks again or something else.

Seems to me a fire caused main fiber-op cable to burn so they had to switch to satellite internet. Out of their control as it happened on property not theirs.

no such thing as control.

but there is something called redundancy. for instance, mission critical DC's typically have multiple fiber connects at diverse points of entry to the building. so when some asshat cuts fiber in his yard or ________ you've already got the other connect you are using for load balancing or for hot backups.

shrug. hosting websites can't go down. seems bitcoin mining would fall into that category.

i need a new pool. was considering antpool. hrumph.

Problem is that it was the main line that burned. The supplier had no immediate plans to restore was the last that I heard. Their damn ISP has abandoned them.

That's the whole thing.... you need redundancy. With your redundant points of entry you have redundant fiber with redundant carriers typically the major telcos. Yeah, it ain't cheap, but it prevents exactly this from happening.

The redundancy in Booneyville China is satellite. Hell where I live, f fiber op went down I would be in the stone ages. My redundancy is dial up of satellite.
