Currently at least Slush's pool is under ddos (maybe more pools) and It makes me wonder what the ddoser gains with those actions?
One obvious reason could be to take out competitors and by that increase your own chances to find the winning block.
Or is it just a marketing thing, to drag slush in the dirt and maybe take over thousands of miners that don't want to be on a ddosed pool?
Is that like wall-street guys who just want to alter the exchange in some way?
Anyone that have any other conspiracy theory?
