What we really need now I believe is someone who can modify dave andersons ric miner to solo mine into the wallet with fallback capability. In the case that the pools go down the miner should be able to attempt to connect to other pools if available, if not connect to local wallet to solo mine. In this case attacks on the pools become redundant as the hash power stays on the network.
yes, I started to work in this direction but I never finished it. I'll get into it.
Mine pool has been attacked, if not out of the SOLO tool, riecoin may die. Can modify the wallet program, so he directly supports Stratum protocol.
Easy way is to modify miner to support http for solo mining, grata already said he will work on this approach.
Still DDoS problem on xpoolx?? Absurd....
News about yPool?
