Topic: Network Attack on XVG / VERGE - page 67. (Read 29513 times)

Are really this dense or are you just pretending to be? What do you mean drama? Losing .1% of the total supply through an exploit: "no big deal".
This isn't fud you dense ***** this is truth. There is no uncertainty here, verge has a critical bug that is STILL live.

OCminer did everything exactly the way he should have done.
After contacting the dev team and getting laughed at(it is working as intended???)
Seeing as that it's an ongoing attack his loyalty should always lie with his miners first and the devs of random coins second.
He didn't only raise public awareness without exploiting it but also mentioned solutions.
The verge dev should be getting on his goddamn knees to thank this man this man for pointing out what is happening without benefiting from it himself.


Now if we look at yesterday with the knowledge we have today what can we conclude?
1. The "fix" didn't fix it at all.
2. There was blatent lying on their twitter(not only massively underplaying the gravity of the exploit(small hash attack), it didn't just last 3 hours and they didn't fix it either).
3. The dev should be working overtime to try to fix this thing instead of barking nonsense on this site and reddit, he has his shill....marketing team for that.
4. The "fix" was copy pasted from peercoin, just as the "wraith protocol" was copy pasted from opalcoin.

The ridiculousness of this situation is baffling.
Justin what are you doing??? You've made so much money from this coin how is it possible that you can't hire competent coders to hotfix this and other things if you can't do it yourself???


Edited typos

Is there a reliable pool where you can mine Verge with Myriad-Gröstl?

Everyone forgot how Supernova conducted an attack 51 on Bitcoin Gold?

Everything has been going alright on yiimp pool.

Mine was a first post, older account, and a legit question, fwiw. I think ocminer answered it (inadvertently) in his long post.

You seriously peoplewill be maning some hacked pool to join the attack and try to overcome that already establised hacked chain ?

And you say nothing was agaisnt the consensus ?


What a clueless dev.

He initially approached the dev who laughed him off. What is he supposed to do?

I also had bad experience with ocminer where instead of talking to me they directly posted WRONG rumor about me which was later condemned by many bitcoiners.

I actually stopped mining about 6 hours before this exploit happened, I noticed that in previous hours my hourly earnings dropped from about 15 per hour to only 2 xvg per hour.

drama is posting it on bitcointalk looking for drama , bit hypocritical ocminer posting whats only going to cause more drama then accusing verge dev or being dramatic lol

was at 13:51:05 .. That means the hacker is mining one block per second !


Nice hashrate indeed

I just hope this attack won't push your partners to back out from the partnership you are expected to announce in mid April.
Please recommend a pool where we can mine Verge on Myr Gros algo.

Thanks.

1)I stated fact, your account is brand new and that was your first message

2)I don't own any Verge

3)Ocminer had a very wrong behavior. You first talk to devs let sort them out a quick fix, then explain to the world what is happening. Not the "vice versa".

4)This is a drama because what happened sucks but a fixed went out and by quoting CryptoYeff

we had same attack in starting day but now problem solved 

The blacklisting would have to be accepted by majority of the miners devaluating the non blacklisting old chain (likely to zero), there is no entity who can decide that, it's miners or one could say the network itself.

Yes. And therein lies the problem.

If OC miner didn't come out with this, the dev would have continued as if nothing happened. He still doesn't know how to fix the code.

Now this is a sensible set of questions. Rather than point fingers FUD FUD FUD. I'm glad you're using your analytical brain and thinking "well, this may actually have consequences". Thank you.

My Wallet synced fine but that was on a fresh install w/ blockchain files from Apr3. It did get passed all blocks and sent coins from Binance to my Wallet and back just fine.

Thank you ocminer for clarification and learning experience and thank you VergeDev Justin (?) for Action and also the learning experience and the allmost "only" mineable GPU coin since days/ weeks. I even found x17 algo last week finally.  
You both should go along. Don't get ugly. Drink a Beer and laugh about later maybe.


BTW: One newbie question concerning the following.

This frightens me. So it would be possible for Governments or other entities to erase any BTC or Altcoin?

This is really frightening! What do they need for that? Some secret Key for Seed Server or what is needed?
