So who would like to defend BCX now?
Shit about to hit the fan
Ongoin attack on Poloniex...
Someone claiming to bcx said it was dropping in 3 minutes and it did. Impressive to say the least because I would assume Poloniex would have kickass ddos mitigation.
It does not seems to be DDoS, chat is working fine... Something is fishy here...
Chat could be via a different server.
Yes, but i am starting to think this whole XMR scandal was to attack Polo and steal coins... That smell of Gox...
Good point as I'm sure lots of people that might not have been trading have moved their coins there. Until this happened, I really didn't know that Poloniex was like the main exchange for XMR.

Edit: Hashrate also droped 20%
Blackout now

The biggest issue with this whole thing is I want to warm up my wallet and sell the 100 coins I mined fucking forever ago, and its going to be sometime tomorrow before the friggin thing syncs. How do you people deal with this its quicker to sync the entire years of bitcoin chain.
On the first page of the Monero thread there is a link to download the blockchain. It will still take some time to sync but will be alot quicker than syncing from forever ago.

BCX please post more scary stuff, the price isn't falling anymore and I need it cheaper.
The exploit makes the anonymity redundant. Yet it suddenly can kill the coin, by forking I assume. Apparently with 20% hashrate too.
Somehow I have a feeling they are just trying a plain old 51% attack, with a good amount of DDoS involved.

This is my assumption. BCX has only a few tricks up his sleeve when to comes to things of this nature.
Either outcome will be beneficial to XMR.

Lol the devs said the wuld just sit, wait and watch
Shame on you.You should know better.

Can you elaborate a bit more?
Sure, I could elaborate a lot more, but am not inclined to do so here and now for reasons that should be obvious.
I can only speak for myself, but with what I have seen so far, I am very pleased with what BCX's game may ultimately produce, win or lose.
Personally, I see the threat as a serious one, and treat it like an unexpected red-team exercise. Been there done that, from both sides of the keyboard.
All new coins with this modern design are vulnerable in the early days in this same way. The game has encouraged me to look deeper at some old ideas and to learn things some things that I didn't know previously.
And so I've given what I learned to the XMR devs because I am grateful to the work they have done so far in this effort. I am hopeful that they will have the opportunity to make use if it in the time they have, but I know they are very busy.
What I won't do is publish anything more broadly. At least not until this game has fully concluded. The devs however may do what they please.
I'm old and slow and my coding skilz are as well. I was kicked upstairs into design and management years ago but I was not content to remain completely idle during this game. If these devs are able to do something amazing, they should get all the credit. Other than this little contribution I don't have a lot to give, I'm just here along with the rest of you in the peanut gallery with a couple months salary at stake, but from where I stand, my little bit of XMR looks to be in very good hands.

Dear FBI:
We are a community who is developing Monero, a cryptocoin that will (a) make it impossible for someone to steal someone else's money, and (b) make it impossible for you or anyone else to identify the source or destination af any payment, even if it is not connected to criminal or terrorist activity.
Bolded section reveals much about your opinion of the relationship of government to the governed.We are a community who is developing Monero, a cryptocoin that will (a) make it impossible for someone to steal someone else's money, and (b) make it impossible for you or anyone else to identify the source or destination af any payment, even if it is not connected to criminal or terrorist activity.
I think it reveals how disconnected some people in this community are from reality.
I should have added also
Quote
(c) allow the hiding of revenue from the IRS, (c) provide an unlicensed service for money transmittal across state boundaries, (d) allow the unreported transmittal of arbitrary amounts of money across national borders, (e) provide banking services unencumbered by KYC/AML procedures, ...
You really expect the FBI to help and protect the development of Monero?
I think it is impressive how monero is holding up.
I know some people wish no one would believe BCX, but people in crypto get easily spooked
So overall, if it doesn't go down too much more, I think as a whole the community did as good as you could ask
BCX HAS killed numerous coins, and AM saying it is real is a rather scary thing, but most are holding so far, congrats

"I think it is impressive how monero is holding up."
Its holding up because some of the whales have been pouring btc into it to prop the price up. Last night one of those whales more or less confirmed that nearly half the 'buy support' was just him and under typical XMR markets he controls 1/3 of the buys and sells on the Polo market. XMR hit a 1000 btc volume the other day and overall price barely moved with all that dumping. Shows they have a lot of faith in it but they have to. Pre-BCX, these whales have had hundreds upon hundreds of BTC invested in XMR so they cannot afford to let it go.
It will be interesting to see how many more weaker hands get shaken out as we get closer to the potential attack. Will the price move much more than it is? I do not think they'll let it go too far unless BCX is successful.
