Botnets simply cannot contribute that much. ...
Not true, when the botnet first got noticed and moved to another pool we were able to see it and exactly how many comps were hitting and how much hash power. it was surprisginly high hash for the number of comps. I do not have the info recroded down to verify so one of the pool ops would have to report, but there is a grph I'm willing to bet someone still has that showed the number of zombies hashing and what their rate was. Believe it was something on the order of 60Ghash and only a few thousand comps.......
Word! Testify!!! Amen!
If the BtcGuild story is true, BIG UP to them, for having the ethics to do what Deepbit probably doesn't...
Very nice to see they are doing something. Ouch that it apparently is capable of snagging legitimate users as well. Maybe the ip limit is too low verse period of time multiples connect? How many IP's did you have connected, if I may ask?
