What happened to the pool... I'm with the only other two miners! Where do you guys left? (The network hash seems to be increasing compare to the last week too)

Main Fairpool .xyz domain has been changed to fairpool.cloud

Moved FairPool to the new fairpool.cloud domain.
Visit web stats at https://fairpool.cloud

Please update your configs with the new mining domains as well:

mine.sumo.fairpool.cloud:5555
mine.etn.fairpool.cloud:8888
mine.etc.fairpool.cloud:4444
mine.etp.fairpool.cloud:6666
mine.pasl.fairpool.cloud:4009
mine.dbix.fairpool.cloud:7777

Sorry for inconveniences, unfortunately had no choice except moving to the new domain.

Finally figured out the situation with fairpool.xyz domain

Someone ran spam attack with this domain, sent a lot of spam mails containing link to fairpool.xyz.

As a result domain was blacklisted by multiple well-known spam blacklists: Spamhaus and SURBL.
Finally XYZ registrar suspended the domain registration. To renew the domain registration i need to remove it from the Spamhaus and SURBL blacklists first.

I got a success with removing it from Spamhaus. But had no luck with SURBL, seems like these guys don't care what they are doing, they just don't pay any attention to your requests. Kindly surprised to see such old-minded regulators still driving the internet train nowadays. Being long time in the crypto I used to be sure that nobody can regulate my finances (if you are using a solid crypto like XMR or SUMO). But unfortunately there are a lot of dumb-ass regulators who is still able to block your service/domain for nothing.

We can only guess who is interested in running this attack.
