Here's an interesting exchange here between nullc and bkDJ:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2tel4r/vulnerability_in_bitcoin_found_by_darkcoin_dev/cnydw5n

Sounds like there are two issues: one with pindexBestForkBase and another with phashBlock.

The bug is still present in 0.9.4 and 0.10, they partially fixed it:

I may be a little mean but after reading the zealot's spew on Reddit, I say fuck em.

Usually you guys are on point for defending darkcoin but nothing so far except massive down votes for the darkcoin supporter in this reddit thread.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2tel4r/vulnerability_in_bitcoin_found_by_darkcoin_dev/

The issue was patched in Bitcoin Core 0.9.4 (released just a few days ago), we forked from 0.9.3. So they beat us to fixing it. It's funny though how r/Bitcoin reacts to stuff like this though... crazy.

According to nullc (maxwell I think? Coinjoin inventor / darkcoin hater) the fix in darkcoin is incorrect?

Yeah, I missed the later reference which still causes the client to crash, will be fixed in 11.0.13.

Does it look like we'll see .13 before the night is out?  Wink

My MN keeps going down on the latest version; I start the daemon on remote but after a bit it goes down.

 ./darkcoind getinfo
error: couldn't connect to server

any hint?

They're very dismissive of anything that could potentially lower the value of their investment and will update to the front page any interview where bill Gates says the word bitcoin even once.

He kind of asked for it by spamming what had been up until that point quite a constructive, sedate exchange. and notching it up a gear into "Darkcoin's great - Darkcoins not great" mode.

Does the .12 need a local MN start?

Depends on what you are updating from. If you are on the latest protocol (example, 11 -> 12), then no.

I'm guessing (hoping) people keep asking this question because they don't know how to figure it out.

The next time you update, run darkcoind getinfo first and take note of the protocolversion

{
    "version" : 110012,
    "protocolversion" : 70054,
    "walletversion" : 60001,
...
}

After you update run darkciond getinfo again and see if the protocolversion changed.

If I see a change, I make sure to start from local.

I do agree with the posters though that it should be considered more of a bug than a vulnerability. BTC hasn't forked in years. But it's harsh in the BTC sub-reddit... about 99% of the time, any altcoin is getting downvoted.

Multipool profitability really dropping...



The fork didn't help things that's for sure. Several blocks were mined on a fork. But also X11 has been really low fluctuating hash rate, but I see it's bumped up today so will bring it up again.

We're working a newly designed multipool which will combine the hash from both of our pools which will stability profitability a lot better.

Cheers!
Nice, Cheers!  Grin

The latest shift for the Darkcoin multipool paid out over 51 DRK.

Still need more hash for Scrypt &  more importantly X11 algo. If you're looking for a new home for your X11 hash, bring it over! On average, you'll make the same if not more DRK and you'll help push the price of DRK up. SHA has been holding strong @ ~20Th/s, thanks ya'll!

We have a new multipool in development. This will in effect combine our existing two pools into one which will allow for combined mining efforts increasing the profitability as well as improved statistics and mining features. Stay tuned for this!

Cheers!
