Just spotted this - I'd been trying to figure out why my office was being DDoS'd, and taking down parts of the CMU network along with it. I'd kept a riecoin node going for the last two years despite not really being in crypto any more, but I can't let this prevent everyone in my building from working.
The DoS wasn't a matter of a new version - in my case, they were sending 5Gbps of NTP reflector traffic at my IP address. Carnegie Mellon was not amused. It was a pretty serious attack.
Sorry to hear about the problems. Hope they get resolved!
Thanks for the info and I'm sorry you had problems at work.
