Re: [100 TH] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); TX FEES + UserDiff; ASIC tested
The pool is 7-8% from the network, which is on average 0.45 blocks per hour or 2h 20min per block ... the rest is luck (good or bad)
Well, here comes the luck again. I left the pool at 105% and during the DDoS attacks I mined myself
. I returned at 18:50 today. 
May the luck serve us through a bright future.
Overall, will there be a stable value in not too far future (2015) say at 10 times the diff, so Slush can use an optimistic forecast?
And is there anything like we can do against DDoS, like paying them back with defcoins? Is there anywhere any info about who or what performed the attacks?
If they haven't already, take a look at HAProxy to fight against those nasty DDoS attacks. http://haproxy.1wt.eu/ It's a small VM footprint, very expandable and can handle a lot of traffic.
Tin Foil Hat Moment: I wonder if these attacks are contracted out. X pool buys attacks against some of the larger pools so they can solve more blocks while they are down. Some major hashing hardware is currently shipping now.
