Poloniex has been crashing a lot in the last bit due to DDOS attack.

Yah, I can't log in either.  Could they be blocking my ip range?

@Toknormal, thank you for your excellent analysis yesterday! This next week will be especially interesting to watch!

Ditto!!!

Not likely that you are blocked. Seems to be working now, but it's been up and down for the last several hours.

Quote
Until last night, it had been a while until DDoS attacks affected any of the popular bitcoin and altcoin exchanges.

The latest reports now indicate that a couple of hours ago, popular bitcoin exchange Poloniex was the target of a strong DDoS attack, which not only took the site offline, but it also affected the API, and therefore forced the exchange to stop carrying out transactions.

The announcement was made via a Twitter post, which read: ‘It appears we’re under a DDOS attack. We’re investigating and working on getting the site back online as quickly as we can’. Luckily, the security team behind the company managed to quickly mitigate the attack, and restore service.

However, it is believed that the attack was in fact a stress test, meant to differently target the attack next time, or even force the exchange to make a security mistake. This strategy has been put to use before, so Poloniex will have to be particularly careful in the near future.

i would be carefull with trading on Poloniex, it has a big bullseye on it currently and it seems like hackers are testing its defences....

ICEBREAKER, buddy, I still need your help. Please de-anonymize this transaction that was obscured by the "flawed CoinJoin implementation" that has "not been peer-reviewed" and help me to figure out the source address of these funds! The good news is that it only went through four rounds of this "DarkSend," so it will be orders of magnitude easier to figure out than if it had been through all eight. Thank goodness for small miracles!

Please help me figure this out! It's URGENT!!!

Dash De-anonymization Contest

Icebreaker and other trolleros: I have donated $1 to Monero's development team. I sent 0.25 Dash (TX ID: 59d51690d4b56ddbf1e393fa8d3a49bcfc3247f270f36be3b6ee411802666cba-000) to shapeshift.io, which converted it to Bitcoin and sent it to the official Monero donation address listed at https://getmonero.org/getting-started/donate/.

I challenge you to de-anonymize this transaction. To make it just a little easier, I only used four rounds of Darksend, so it's exponentially less private than it would be with the maximum eight rounds.

Please tell me what address this transaction originated from.

Cheers!

Cryptanalyst castrated by his government, 1952

Is it too embarrassing for mathgal23 to come back and say thank you?


It's not that kind of account, but it has an interesting post history.       Smiley

In general, the trolls get swatted quickly here for most of their chronic themes, but of late they have found one analogous to "are you still beating your wife?" trickery.
I'm referring to their ploy: "insiders grabbed the first MNs and use them to generate more DASH for the suckers to buy".

This is very hard to refute without deanonymizing the coin supply (gotcha).

If I say (truthfully) that I am a MN-owner and definitely not an insider, then they reply that I'm one of the suckers (gotcha).

If I say that I hold lots of MNs and am definitely not an insider, then they reply that I really am an insider but am hiding it (gotcha).

And so forth.

My best attempt at trollproofing this issue is to answer "so what?" - in the sense "what would follow if the claim were true?" - in essence, the claim is that the first backers of the coin will have more of it than those who come later. OK, now what? Isn't that the way things are supposed to work - those who do the early work get rewarded most? In the event that someone finds that unsatisfactory - they feel the amounts are disproportionate - then the ultimate troll-test (I think) is whether they just walk away and back another coin or whether they keep pounding away at the theme, trying to persuade others to walk away.

Anyway, no matter what one does in life somebody doesn't like it, and we know for sure that some of them have a hostile agenda.

Speaking of hostile agendas, did you see Tok's great new thread yesterday? It's about big-league trolling - the kind we will have to deal with eventually:

Anonymint!!...he's a bit off,...but completely flawed in any practical thinking.  I feel sad for him Sad

Just trawled this up from Thymos's arch:

Conversation between Anonymint and the guy who was thinking of inventing the pneumatic tyre:
Bitcointalk, 5th March, 1844.

Quote from: Anonymint/TPTB_need_war to Robert William Thomson

You are not smart and/or experienced enough to see the flaw in this proposed design. Filling a rubber wheel with air just so people can get a slightly 'comfier' ride is like decorating a desert with mercury just so it sparkles. I am particularly incensed by you promulgating this crap technology as worthwhile. It wastes my time.

The reason you can't rely on it is because it is impossible to know that some random impurity in the road surface won't penetrate the shell and cause a catastrophic escape. If you were a real career engineer you'd realise that such a failure is compounded by the dynamic instabilities and total loss of control that would inevitably follow.

The fact that you can't see this obvious flaw means you don't have the IQ to even be attempting this. Please just do yourself a favor and quit now. This is above your pay grade.

Kristov Atlas did a thorough review of DarkSend at the end of 2014.  He found some minor issues on attack vectors and they were corrected.  DarkSend has matured even better since then, and it doesn't take that long to mix.  Well, at least not for the amounts I have available to me.  It does depend on how many rounds and surprisingly the smaller denominations seem to take the longest.


How come this "thorough review" was never published for the community to see? Was it too embarrassing for DASH?

man man, you are asking to be ignored ? is that correct

It was published back then to community
+ revised after the 1st code review (bug fixing)

Does anyone know if Dash was stolen from Cryptsy?  I have everything there Cry ...  It looks like someone claims to be able to get the BTC back and cryptsy still list missing LTC and X11 but they are not claiming and Dash is missing.

they are claiming this hack, but i doubt there is any trust in that

Why does the DASH community keep ignoring requests for a reasonable bounties to be created so that qualified people might try to test its privacy?

If the DASH claims of quality code are legitimate, you have nothing to fear and a bounty could improve credibility. If a flaw is found, it would be better to identify and fix it now until waiting until more people actually start using DASH.

There have been many bounties, in fact I think there is still a 2-3000 DASH bounty for anyone who can deanonymize DarkSend, but nobody has even tried that I know of.  Why don't you give it a go.  It doesn't require much.  It's not fancy math, only simple mixing of exactly the same denominated funds.  Give it a go, it should be easy!

Interesting DASH and masternode analysis:

In addition to devolving the proof-of-work into a proof-of-stake non-security shitcoin consensus system, more importantly it is a great scam system:

The rest of your post was gracious, but really you don't understand that the insiders stole the supply and then they crafted masternodes which they could own most of, which thus pay them dividends, so they own an eternal supply of coins to P&D with. There is mining debasement that appears to be decentralized, except due to insider control over masternodes, the debasement ends up back in the insiders' pockets for dumping on greater fools.

You really want to bait us with TPTB_need_war?  Or what was his other user id? A- something? Edit: Anonymint!!  I remembered!:  Anyway, he's a bit off, and feels slighted by Dash somehow-I think.  He's a brilliant game theorist but completely flawed in any practical thinking.  Undoubtedly on the spectrum and subject to a lot of outbursts.  I feel sad for him Sad
