More Bitcoin Exchange Withdrawals brought to a halt due to DDoS attacks.

Post at /.

 

 

An anonymous reader tipped us to news that several Bitcoin exchanges have joined Mt Gox in suspending withdrawals after being forced out of sync with the Bitcoin network at large. After Mt Gox blamed transaction malleability for forcing them to suspend withdrawals, miscreants started flooding at least Bitpay and Btc-e with bogus transactions. Quoting the Bitcoin Foundation:

"Somebody (or several somebodies) is taking advantage of the transaction malleability issue and relaying mutated versions of transactions. This is exposing bugs in both the reference implementation and some exchange’s software. We (core dev team, developers at the exchanges, and even big mining pools) are creating workarounds and fixes right now. This is a denial-of-service attack; whoever is doing this is not stealing coins, but is succeeding in preventing some transactions from confirming. It’s important to note that DoS attacks do not affect people’s bitcoin wallets or funds. "

... This doesn't bode well. Hopefully they can get these bugs fixed ASAP and get everything back up to normal. I'm still mining away personally, as I expect this to go away once the bugs are indeed fixed.

It's sad that DDoS' are being abused so much these days. I'm hoping someone comes up with a way to fix it soon. I know, I know. It probably can't be fixed because of it's nature, or the required investment needed to fix it, but still. I can hope. 

Maybe I should move to a different exchange. The big ones seem to be more dangerous now even though they are more established. 

Or sell my coin on Ebay. That's an option. 

What do my fellow miners think?

I can only hope. I'm up to 0.277 BTC, so that would give me an extra $100 worth of coin (basically).

2 months with a single 290X at 867 KH/s mining Feathercoin and Litecoin 65% of the time (so roughly 14 hours a day).

Mt. Gox has had lots of trouble for the past year. They promised litecoin- never happened. They promised a new trade engine- never happened. They said USD withdrawls were stopped temporarily- yet no one has been able to get much money out of gox for the past year.

 

I really do think they either need to fix everything, or give everyone their money and close shop. This is getting ridiculous and its doing nothing but hurting BTC.

 

 

All this made me switch to BTC-e as my main exchange, and use coinbase for withdrawls. I havent trusted my 5 digits worth of BTC that i made from mining and trading the last two years at all with them.

BTC-e is infected too? NOOOO! Looks like it's time to find a new multi-coin exchange.

:/

Log in

Go to Balances tab

Scroll to what you want (LTC in this case).

Hover over the name with the green down arrow.

Click "Deposit/Autosell LTC".

Click "Generate new deposit address".

That's the new address. Send it there and wait for it to confirm. You can come back and check this address later without having to create a new one should you want to send it there again. 

The clip board beside the deposit address field copies the address to your clipboard if you click it.

The Auto-sell section comes up once you have generated a deposit address and defaults to "Off". Just leave it there unless you want to automate the whole process.

As Cryptsy tells you, never mine directly to that address.

That is pretty sweet. Thanks. :D I'm going to be using this from now on. 

Now if only I could get the pool to accept shares. 100% reject rate, when mining other pools, I get a 1% reject rate, roughly.
