Topic: [ANN] [POW] [MSR] Masari - simple, scalable, and secure cryptocurrency - page 37. (Read 85412 times)

Its just maturing of coin with low hashrate and malicious people who want this coin dead. IMHO ofkors

I thought the DAA was meant to protect from this? I’ve pulled from mining because it’s completely broken, blocks are just orphaning across all pools.

Bit of a disaster.

Unfortunately this is definitely looking like a timestamp attack. The sum nethash of all the pools (the real miners) is under 2Mh/s while we're seeing spikes northwards of 27Mh/s in the network.  That's an extremely unhealthy ratio. Some malicious entity is virtually stealing most of the blocks.

It's a shame. It was looking promising.

Off to another coin whilst Masari sorts it's shit out.

So its prolly another attack on chain  

all pools dead, orphaned blocks

Can you say a bit more about what's going on here?  Someone implies this is coming from Nicehash -- is that true?  I see on Twitter you recommend increasing tx confirmation to 60 blocks?  Are we out of the woods yet? 

Thanks.

What's up with all those tx which don't clear and hang for hours in the mempool? I saw that last one already yesterday sitting there, when it was the only one stuck.



They are not too large in size, they seem to have enough fees. What's wrong with them? Are those from today which are 6h old made from inputs which have vanished after the re-org? Shouldn't they simply drop out of the mempool in that case?

EDIT: Those two tx which were stuck for 2h on the screenshot have cleared meanwhile, both in block 170536. The other four are now at nearly 9h of age and still stuck. Not my tx, just observing.

EDIT: Another thing. Are those time stamps (deltas) from 170561 to 170576 fake or do we just witness a huge instamining/double-spending attempt?



EDIT: What is going on with the official explorer at https://www.msrchain.net/

Whenever I hit F5 I see how the "age" of the last mined blocks (always the same) is decreasing! See a sequence of screenshots at https://imgur.com/a/vuiFIGV

You will also notice on that sequence of four screenshots, how from 3 to 4 one tx drops out of the mempool without entering a block. Its hash starts with 2007884...

I think the chain is being attacked again by an idiot renting the nicehash botnet. Because the blocks were flying and difficulty has shot up.

I guess it is safer to refrain from depositing and withdrawing coins at the moment.

EDIT: If the time stamps on the official explorer are not totally faux, then there was a POW attack from 170561 to 170581 and possibly to 170605 and then another one from 170610 to 170626. Another attack was from 170523 to 170553 (and some pools got their blocks orphaned in that range, so I hope there was not another re-org).

Two good reasons why nobody should support the Nicehash botnet for hire, run by a known convicted criminal.

Anyone who is pro-decentralisation and therefore anti-ASIC, should also be against the centralised Nicehash botnet where every criminal can hire for a short time and therefore basically at zero cost a massive botnet to attack and double-spend, i.e. defraud the community (exchanges, merchants, users). No, these criminals would not be able to buy 25,000 GPUs and set up a huge farm in order to make a double-spend attempt, but at Nicehash they get this for a few hundred bucks.

Let's not forget, the DAA upgrading too started as a result of Nicehash instamining attacks in the early phase of the chain (kudos to that mysterious "user" on slack who kept pushing until the problem was finally tackled )

Say no to nicehash as you say no to vertical video Only the dumbest people use the nicehash "miner", i.e. rent out their PCs to a criminal, (and vertical video...)

difficulty window is 60 blocks, and we use a weighted harmonic mean to calculate difficulty (newest block times have higher weight than older ones).

We just experienced a 23 block chain reorganization, a potential double spend attack on our network - everybody with buy orders on exchanges please pull out now until the exchanges respond with an audit of their databases!

Difficulty window it 720 blocks. We will see real nethash after block 170721

Mining Masari is currently more profitable than mining Monero. That's why more than 10MH/s worth of CPUs/GPUs are number crunching on the Masari chain. That's easily 10,000+ devices.

looks like the worst coin to mine right now :S
congrats masari but no one will mine it

I can't wait the GUI wallet update...

TradeOgre, the dominating exchange for Masari, is up again but so far only 1800 users are currently there online vs. more than 3000 before the DDOS attacks.
In case your browser won't load the page and immediately returns an error page, here is what you can do.

Use 1.1.1.1 as DNS server locally on your machine or even better in your modem/router. TradeOgre has recently changed IP, I think from 188.214.30.132 to 104.24.104.181 (that's at Cloudflare now).
If you can't access the site it means the DNS of your ISP has not synced yet with the master DNS nodes or how they are called.

In that case just use 1.1.1.1 as DNS or wait another day or so until your local DNS has been updated.



You can do a ping in your CMD and see to which IP tradeogre dot com resolves.

Nah, it's just your pool and your organic CPU which are dead. The coin is stronger than ever.

I'm sorry that a dead coin with a dead community, I asked for help how to update the pool, no one helped ...

Network down to 17Mh/s from 100Mh/s in 8 hours. That's pretty damn good.
