FWIW, I had no idea so many people were using the TML. I suppose that means that when I turn on the commissions I will get a nontrivial income from this, in which case I will have a strong motivation to take uptime very seriously.

Well, probably not anymore after this incident... This is a breach of trust/confidence/reliability which especially the large scale miners will take very seriously. On my side you've killed about 7 gigahashes, I'd assume the total from the people running my TML port for x6500/MMQ alone will be in the 50-100GH/s range.

IMO it would have been mandantory for you to publish the information that the bitstreams have a time bomb when you released TML. Your customers have a right to know that they will have to regularly update their systems, and if you had released that information you would surely have been reminded in time that the deadline is approaching.

Has there been a downtime of the signcryption services? Or do you block IPs that repeatedly try to connect with an old gateware version? After I rebased to 1.12 yesterday I wasn't able to contact any signcryption server anymore, they just refused the connection (and I saw that it tried several different IPs).
