ETC network issues discussion
The ETC network appears to be facing memory usage attacks. The issue is likely related to the latest attacks on the ETH network.
Both parity and geth nodes are affected by the attack.
For miners, it is recommended to use nodes with 16GB and above, and increase swap size to 64GB.
More info and advice on how to deal with this attack may be available in the #mining channel of the ETC Community Slack.
