FTC Pools status

[Lordas]

Status updates:

miningpoolhub worked well for 12 hours or so, now again DDoS or smth
aika also has connectivity problems, seems like also DDoS attack (smb spending their mined coins to support botnets…?)

[Lordas]

Today all pools I get sight on working smoothly. Nice :)

[wrapper]

Interesting, multipool wars? might be worth me checking if the FTC Difficulty variations were reduced during the DDoS .

[Lordas]

mininghubpool’s transactions stalled for second day.

[Lordas]

Seems all pools working OK last couple days. :hammer_pick:

Huge mining farm, another pool or …???

wow…that’s a lot of rigs

[AcidD]

We might pass 1 Gigahash at this rate…

the last time this happened was during the 2016 pump…

Very Hugeee…

@aciddude I do not know how this is calculated, maybe median, but I saw that we passing 1Ghs very often.

These figures of the FTC hash rate are averaged over the day. The pattern of variation of hash rate remains consistent with a base level of mining, then coin switches or multipools coming in and out of FTC hashing.

There were indications of some additional switchers in the last detailed analysis. There weren’t any temporal anomalies that might indicate any additional “attack” methods were being used other than switching.

The hash rate / Difficulty are equivalent, both are calculated from the rate of block production.

All followed pools are OK, but Cryptopia not working properly today…
And I just sent some my coins there before check… :disappointed:

Fun times all round!!

Feathercoin hash rate at 1.0002 Ghs and going up on https://bitinfocharts.com/feathercoin/

Difficulty going up as well.

and I have 114 peers connected to my node which is the most i’ve ever seen.

I did a print out if anyone wants to do a csv and analyse it

you can google “json to csv”

That is good news, especially if it has resulted increased the baseline / FTC community hash rate.

However, Murphy’s law says the multipools will go up as well. I will look to do a difficulty analysis to see if there is any indications of what has changed, the mining demographic, or hopefully the increase in p2pool will raise the base hash rate up.
