Do you mean that you'll intentionally not build on blocks from Kano.is? I think you need to clarify what you mean by blacklist.
We will not build on his blocks until our local bitcoind got received and verified them in full. This guy leaked our IP addresses to the public, I pm him kindly and begged him to remove them but he refused. If we ever got DDoSed due to his post, we have no choices but point our domains to his pool.
IP addresses are in the public domain, view-able by anyone - you can't "leak" something that is already public knowledge.
Threatening to divert any ddos attack to a different pool is completely & utterly wrong. It's immoral & disgraceful, you should be ashamed of yourselves - or is this a common tactic employed by SPV mining pools?
This is what happens when a pool that contributes nothing to the Bitcoin network gets too big, they resort to playground bully boy tactics & statements in the false belief that they are somehow invincible & can do as they please. If I were a pool operator I would have no problem banning IP addresses from all SPV mining pools from connecting to my node & encourage every other pool or wallet owner that cares about the Bitcoin ecosystem to do the same.
Thank you kano for helping to bring this to everyone's attention, the more people who realize the harm these large SPV mining pools do to the network - & the lengths that they will go to to damage any other pool that questions them - the better, safer & healthier the network will become.
Edit: Deleting posts from your own thread regarding this won't help either.
