Re: [~2700 GH/sec] BTC Guild - 0% Fees, Long polling, SSL, JSON API, and more
So um, why exactly are botnets bad, wouldn't the additional hash power be beneficial for our cause? Could the stats of the botnet please be posted so we can all get a better understanding of what the network was doing and why it had to be rid of?
Total Mhash toward pool
Total bandwidth of pool server(s) used (amount in percentage as well)
Blocks found
coins generated
shares
number of workers
Also, if bandwidth was the ultimate issue, what if the zombie network funneled work to a server of the hacker. Would it have been better for the hacker to create his own pool, or could the hacker have have lumped all the data and submitted it to the pool from a single location, thus lessening the load of the BTC G server that would otherwise have to deal with multiple connections to thousands of individual miners?

Could you please explain, why additional hashpower is good for you?
It increases difficulty, lowering your income, etc.
Botnets produce a lot of hash power, without someone who has to care energy prices, hardware costs, etc.
Would it be good for your company, if all concurrents didnt have to pay for their employees?
?But if you prefer that a botnet with enough hashpower, lets say 10THashs increases the difficulty in a way, that everyone who has to pay electricity bills has to shut down his rigs ...
