pot.ogres is down
Yep we are being DDoS'ed at the moment. We have been sitting stable at around 10% of the network hashrate since a couple of days after launch. Not sure why some douchebag wants to target a smaller pool.
Anyway we are working with our hosting provider to get back up and running. In the meantime everyone's coins are safe. I would encourage everyone to use one of the smaller pools as a backup until we are back up and running.
Sorry about the downtime - I am as pissed off as anyone that some lowlife wants to try and monopolize the network.

By my count, that's 4 pot pools who have been targeted:
scryptominers
bitember
criptoe
ogres
I've been dealing with DDoS almost non stop for the past few days.
If it's not DDoS they are flooding the stratum ports. It's beyond frustrating.
