Rollback is a must.

Rollback will kill Komodo and SuperNET, we all know that, we're not too BIG to fail like Ethereum was.

Think carefully @jl777!

If we don't roll back we are only devaluing the whole ecosystem...How many coins do we think he/she got?

If an equivalent amount is burnt from the dev premine it's basically paying the attacker a bug bounty from dev funds, all other investors are no worse off.

Rollback is thermonuclear option, it can KILL komodo and SuperNET today!

Paying a bounty to a guy who found dangerous bug is well worth it IMO

KMD was headed down the Coinmarketcap list already.  This will probably bump it out of the Top 50, but maybe it was inevitable.

Although some of that selling was probably the hacker, dumping coins.

I did not count, but about 5-6 millions.

I have a suggestion for the devs. For the first year KMD is out, we can predict maximum amount of KMD in the system (discounting not claimed or not converted BTCD). We can also get total supply out of the block explorer. How hard would it be to compare the difference each block and hook it up to a Big Red Alarm?

An attacker has taken advantage of an exploit and is generating coins. We made a new version that would stop this at 236000 but the attacker ramped things up to levels that will force us to rollback the chain to 235300.

Please do not do any transactions until we get a new version out that solves this.

more details after this attack is over

Attacker found a bug, let him keep the coins as a reward. Rollback is last resort,  unless he got 5% of coin supply or more, rollback is far worse outcome.

Remember BTER hack ... no rollback from NXT devs was right decision then, and is right descision for komodo now.

Hacker did a service finding bug ... let him keep the coins, please!


Edit: Komodo classic would be a disaster!

There wont be Komodo classic. Komodo is a work in developmnent. No one has got the resources enough to keep the original komodo chain (komodo classic) working. Even if someone tries to launch komodo classic it will be DOA because the hacker will generate unlimited amount of coins on that older chain.

Rollback is a must and there will be only one komodo.

The first block with 100k looks to be 233559

Checked till 228000 looks clean, if anyone want to continue - be my guest.

There are millions of KMD generated, negotiation is not in question here. Blockchain should be rolled back.

Exploits have been taken advantage but dev it aware of it . Anytime soon it will be addressed with a solution. Price may affect negatively and holders are advised not to engage any transactions before the fixed has been implemented. Meanwhile, got to get ready for dumps at the exchanges.
Thanks for your advise

move that crypto
So that guy with 2.5 million:

is hacker that inject new coins?
I think he started generating them at block 235252
https://kpx.io/blocks/000000715aec8ae14905db00b5fb0eb7453ff9c987c9ac8e75de84345fb5d4ae
Looks like a first fake transaction with generation of 100003KMD

James, make it 235000

Good news is every bug that's fixed makes the coin stronger.

No wonder the price of KMD was in decline.

Rollback and get rid of the scammers coins.

Is that the 100k guy? Quick reaction from Bittrex.

ADD:  Can anyone explain to me what is he doing right now? I see he is sending fake coins out hidden, but what's the point? If chain is getting rolled back, it's just a waist of time. Isn't it?
