I haven't really mined much lately- too hot- but this still pisses me off.

mmpool, you should post the loser's BTC and email address. No reason to protect his privacy. It might help someone figure out who the guy is, you never know.

There's no point in anyone paying the guy- even on the offchance that he did leave the pool alone after that (which seems like a really long shot- what would he gain by stopping his DDOS?) if there's a weakness then someone else will find it, or the same guy will make another alias and repeat.

yeah truly discouraging this is a small pool we made 12 blocks all of 2015!

12 blocks = 300 coins over 6.5 months

the owner of the pool is not making out like a bandit. since he paid us 272.57 in btc so far this year

which means in 2015 he is 27 btc up

not counting any :
1)power costs
2)equipment costs
3)website costs
4)time spent
5)misc costs

So At best he may have cleared 2 coins a month this year. this is 0.0667 btc a day profit

Not to mention that he did have the hot streak in may which is the only reason he may have a little profit this year.

to understand this better f2pool makes more then 20 btc profit a day or about 300x this pool.

so he asks for 1 btc from a pool owner that may be earning 0.0667 btc a day

f2pool is immune to this kind of attack isnt it?

presumably no merged coins there..?

f2pool gives 4 or 5 merged coins. I figure they may be immune to this particular attacker but just a week or two they were attacked and it did hurt them.

I don't encourage ddos guy to attack anyone but this is such a little pool it makes no sense

rapists & molesters love the small, weak & defence-less

i think that's why society abhors them so much, not what they do but who they prey upon (perhaps)

is there a back-story here or just regular assault?

it all seems rather civil, & grotesque.

forgive me, i meant p2pool..

E2A - f2pool is down for me
