I almost panicked because my antivirus detected a program that was behaving like ransomware. I thought OMG, how could I be so stupid to just blindly download a program and run it on my computer. I immediately suspected Chunk. Turns out that my Excel starter program was the offender. No real infection, just my Antivirus being over exuberant.
However, I think the OP should consider making the source code available. Many in this community have been screwed over every which way but Sunday. Making the source code available would help many of us jaded users put our minds a little more at ease.
BTW, I pray that your code was not cloned from a Crave derivative. Especially BannanaBits or GorillaBucks. GorillaBucks was destroyed last year because someone found a way to create an exploit.
Here's a PM from one of the perpetrator's about this.
Well you have definitely demonstrated that masternodes are not enforced.(Which is definitely problematic.) Also, you demonstrated that someone created a special wallet to exploit this. However, I spent quite a bit of time trying to find another example, and could not.
Also, the net yield of this exploit only yielded a meager 35.5 extra coins on 07/14. That is way less than 1.00 USD per day profit at current market rates. Very petty cheating, indeed.
I'm curious how you happened to zero in on this one example. Sifting through the block explorer is very tedious. Either you are hard to bore or you knew all along which address to zero in on...
Hand searching is so old school. Just create a script that queries the wallet for everyblock and prints the ones whose stake transactions are only sent to one address. Nothing fancy really.
Buuuuut. I found out how they do it. If you're interested PM me.
Just how far down the clone chain does this go? Nanas? Crave? Blackcoin? Dash?
All of them.
Would you be interest in a wallet that does not pay to masternodes AND only stakes above a certain configurable threshold? Like only for the blocks that stake more than 5 bucks for instance?
And I am planning to add more niceties to it as free updates.
If the OP did clone a Crave derivative, I hope that they fixed that problem.
