I am still unable to get to deepbit using the deepbit selection in gui.. 8:10 AM EST -5 GMT my block(s) are 98.70.*.*
What do you mean ?
Is the website working for you ? Or you can't access the site AND can't mine ?
'deepbit selection in gui' would imply my miner. I am also not able to get the website to respond. It would seem the few that have connected are just getting lucky and squeaking in a connection between attacks.....
The site is somewhat slow, so I gather the attacks are still going, but the website seems relatively stable to me, and my miner is connected and running. (I really should have looked into setting up backup pools earlier, but as it is the miner's pointed at deepbit and I've been busy lately so I couldn't mess with it.)
