So WBD was born dead???
For sure NOT. WebDollar had a series of attacks organized by a big network of hackers and those did the followings:
1. Hack our local network where they found a wallet from genesis.
2. When we announced we can get back all funds which were theft from genesis the attacker started to make crazy transactions for lost the money track and make our recovery work harder.
3. After we developed and pushed the recursive transaction software for recover the funds the attackers used a boot net to rise the difficulty from 30 MH/s to 900MH/s which did cost few tens of thousands dollars for keeping the attack 5 minutes.
4. Before pushing the code, attackers did stop our internet connection.
5 After we connected to the network the attackers used ddos on our devices.
6. After 1 day the attacker started to mine blocks in the future and we fixed this issue.
7. Then he started to create his own forks with consecutive mined blocks and then propagate them into the network.
8. We had today a series of ddos attack and all our fallbacks nodes went down.
In case of other coins the devs weren't able to get funds back but in our case we succeed without seeing any Webdollar Classic around.
With few days before all this started a group of users from the project which was promoted here by deer_hunter89 joined our telegram and started to spam with porn stickers...
We identified one of the attackers and his IP is (139.59.210.78) from Gernany. The strange think is that the most founders of the project which was promoted in our thread by deer_hunter89 are also from Germani... Their project considering us being their competitor but we don't consider them back as a competition for us because our only competitors are BTC and ETH, only the BIG coins.
It is very funny how some people is trying to FUD our project.
Community is not only in Telegram. A lot of users doesn't use it. But if a vote was there, why nobody from users or WD team told it here on forum that others could come in telegram and vote too?
This is true. We're sorry we had to decide to make this fork without asking the whole community, because the time was our enemy. For avoid to let the hackers to sell robbed coins we had to move very fast because we considered every one from the project will agree with the fork because the purpose of the funds which were theft is to promote the project and to support developers for their involvement. And if the funds were in the wrong hands(like those which see us as a competition) the project could be compromised.
After what did happen in the last week we decided with the community the following:
- To return money to all those which bought webds from the attackers but based only on strong proofs. Because we don't want our community members to have loses.
- To change the road map because few thinks delayed and add a new feature with a voting system for the community members and a live road map with the status of all work in progress tasks.
