The website frontend (no stratum/pool) was overloaded for a few hours from an application-level DDoS attack and is back up now. We moved to an industry leading network-level DDoS-protection provider last month, but it appears we're going to have to implement CloudFront or Incapsula on top of that for the site as well to prevent bad actors from bogging down the site.

There was no effect on mining, or the pool/stratum services, during the attack on the site.


We're currently mining ConcealCoin (CNL) on our X11 multiport, which does not have an exchange listed yet - that's why the price data and profitability calculation for it both show as zero. DarkCoin mining would yield 0.00035681 btc/mh/day at the moment; our prediction of course is that mining CNL right now and selling after it gets listed on an exchange will yield high profitability than DRK.
