Just wanted to thank Slush and confirm I received the BTC that was pending previously when the site was down.

Thanks Slush! Back to mining...

My unconfirmed rewards seem accurate except that the blocks are from two days ago and should be confirmed by now (as you are already aware.)

Site is up for me for the most part. Everything looks good!

One last part to be fixed I've noticed is that old block rewards are still "Pending" from a couple days ago even though the statistics page shows them as "confirmed". I'm sure Slush will have this fixed quickly.

Slush, before the site/service went down I had 2+ BTC pending (I mine very quickly);

Can you put my mind at ease and let me know whether or not those pending coins will be there when the service comes back?

I also confirm mining still works without issues.
Now let's all be patient while slush fixes the database and the front-end is available again.

Although I'm only someone with little mining power and a few funds with Slush's pool, I had the following remarks:

  • On the frontpage of your site it says "api.bitcoin.cz:8332" is the main pool URL, although you announced at 10/3 that "stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333" is the default mining URL: "Default mining URL for Stratum is stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333. If you're still using api.bitcoin.cz, please fix your URL to prevent fallback to deprecated Getwork protocol." Why not change that as it doesn't seem to redirect?
  • Any consideration for a 2-step authentication? I know this has nothing todo with the recent intrusion, but I think this extra authentication will make your pool stand out (even more).
  • Any possibility someone at OVH could be responsible for the recent intrusion? I do not know much about hacking, but it looks obvious physical access was needed here.
  • Since the front-end is currently down and Google cache can be slow I can't tell which page exactly; but there is a page in Dutch that's only partially translated. If you need my help with any Dutch or French translation, feel free to ask.
  • Although it is logic you take care of your pool - since you created it and are making profit from it - I do really appreciate your transparancy and way of dealing with this situation. Thanks for that.
I know VIP means "Very Important Person", but what/who are considered VIP at Slush's pool?

Do they have a different address than stratum.bitcoin.cz?

Just venturing a guess, I would think that it's probably reserved for ASIC miners.

There is an address different than stratum*.bitcoin.cz indeed - but this one still points to an OVH IP.
Some received an email notification mentioning [].bitcoin.cz - might be ASIC or just based on some informal criteria.

[]

As a side note, I did not receive any email with this info, just follow the forum, and puzzled out based on some chatty posts. This means obviously I am just drawing conclusions based on info that might be right or wrong.
I assume that pointing the miners to EC2 is the preferred approach, even for VIPs.

Cheers,
   T

Please edit that address out, TiborB.

not sure what you mean tbh it's just a currency

people could pay others through paypal in the past using other currencies

as far as mining is concerned yeah im sure some people make great money now doing it but its not for everyone and it wont last forever

bitcoin gambling is likely to be on the rise since it can't be regulated if it's anonymous

Being redirected to google from Slush pool

I mine with hundreds of boxes and am being redirected to Google which I assume means that Slush thinks I'm DDoSing (I'm not, obviously; I mine well into the GH/s range)

The boxes use poclbm/Stratum and are redirected by Stratum to Google. I don't think this applies to my other accounts so I believe this is an account limitation? What got my flagged and how can I fix and/or prevent it in the future? I'm not doing anything wrong that I know of?
