Dear Tellurium members,
As we told you previously, The Tellurium network was the victim of multiple attacks. This was possible due a vulnerability we discovered in our base-code.
Our team took the steps necessary to protect our members coins and to ensure the safety of the blockchain Therefore, it was decided to close the network gates (ports) and close the network to run in private mode.
A fork on the emissions was done at height 47500 (during the attacks) to reduce the amount of coins that could be compromised. Please note the emissions fork was planned in the future for economic and financial reasons, this situation only accelerated our timeline. Unfortunately during the attack the blockchain got corrupted from height 47261 to 47520 and we were forced to hard-code the related blocks to be excluded from our network. The invalid blocks are dead blocks, burned coins. Nor like others, we did not rewind-ed our blockchain at any point.
The good news!
No other coins were lost and all payments since the attack are valid.
Also we had prepared and tested during the last few days a HOT-FIX: Pre-compiled binaries for our members to download and proceed with accessing their coins. The following steps are necessary to secure your coins security and help to spread a strong decentralized network again among our community and partners.
Please follow these steps:
1 - Delete all your old software
2 - Delete all Tellurium DB folders
3 - Download the new software
4 - Sync your node back to our network from block 1
5 - Connect and sync-reset wallet from block 0
Community members and partners you are requested to proceed with the same steps in order to restore your services to full operation with our network, No EXCEPTIONS!NOTE: The use of old DB and/or Software might lead to a complete loss of your coins and we will not be help responsible for your losses.
Our team had and will take measures to avoid any attempt to connect obsolete and incompatible software back to our network. You have been Warned!
The code will remain private for security purposes and to perform further checks, the more nodes the community deploys, the faster it will be released back to the public. IMPORTANT:
The Tellurium team introduced new tools and security layers to help our community members to secure public nodes and ensure a strong and more decentralized network.
We ask you all to open more public nodes and spread decentralization as much as possible, as well as more merged pools on all coins possible.
Merging our network and sharing our hashpower with other networks only makes both sides more secure, your support is needed in this as well.
Tellurium is an exclusive, private secure crypto currency, and we value the discretion of our community members and partners.
Due to our strict privacy code and policy, we might not able to share all the specifics of the action taken or persons involved if any.
We appreciate your understanding in these matters.
The Tellurium Team
DOWNLOAD new software, re-encoded with new security features for true secure decentralization.
