      I checked and I had about 7 more rejects than when I posted the original message about 4 hours ago, so its possible that most of them came from the attack.

      I tried 8192 concurrency again and it caused my hash rate to plummet as I remembered when I set it up. With 8192 I hash in the low 400s, at 8000 I’m over 500.

      I should have noted in there that the 940/1425 clock rate is stock for my 6970, it was a factory overclocked card.

      I’ll let it go for a while and see how the ratio stays, and then try another pool if it continues to be a problem. Thank you for confirming that it is definitely a problem!

      EDIT: looked at your stats and that is just sick, nice work ;D

        Set lookup gap to 2, thread concurrency to 8000, remove vectors and shaders.

          there is another (more probable) reason for the rejects (at the time he posted), considering we all experienced them.

              After mining all night I’m getting 1.3% rejected, so it appears it was due to that attack. Thanks for the help!

                Sweet!

                Recommend you setup failover-only option to another pool.
                That way if one pool goes down under ddos your miners will redirect their power.
                However there was an exploit in statum protocol under this attack which gave the miners rejected shares. so i do not think failover would have saved you anyway during that attack :)

                  I’m still at 15% rejected. Will check tomrrow what I can do about that.

                  Have a micro rigg only, anyway. ;)

                  It’s one 6670 running at 130 khash…lol

                    restart the miner to zero out the stats. if you had it running the entire time the stratum exploit was going on it will take quite a bit of time to get low rejected % ;)

                      Found out, that it seems to be related to my setup.

                      I’m using bfgminer and when I set the intensity higher than 15 the number of rejects starts to increase.

                      As the output of the bfgminer is sent to the KDesktop, I assume the screen updates start to be delayed and cause a delay in sending data to the pool server as the miner process waits for the screen output to be completed and that this results in the rejects.

                      My system is not optimized for mining, has got only 2GB main mem and a 6670 with 1 Gb mem only. Therefore I think I have to live with the situation.

                        try cgminer and see if you get the same experience.
                        increasing intensity will yield in higher reject rate if you allready are
                        pushing the card. at least thats my experience

                        main memory size is overrated. im running 2gb on my 4x7970 rig. no difference at all from
                        when i had 4gb. get stable 3mhash
