Kinda off topic - Really hurts seeing all those dudes on the new Verge Tweet getting scammed by those "Send me ETH and I'll send you more ETH back" scams.
Wonder how many people get burned off crypto due to those kind of scams.

Dude it is not just the VERGE twitter there are 'dudes' being scammed right now on almost all the crypto tweets.

Yeah I know, they are just getting more crafty and adapted fast to the announcement.
But it just bothers me that Twitter does not try to counter these kind of scams,
though the guys scamming would probably find a way around it either way.
Not blaming Verge as there is not much that can be done on their side.
Sorry for derailing a bit.

Than in my opinion with every official announcement, statement, whatever, there should be some warning added that some 100s of scam attempts are following the tweet .... In my opinion even if the account/profil holder can not do much, like deleting these posts, at least he should be responsible for adding some preventive measures as much as he can after he is aware of these scam practices taking place every time, not?

There is a reason why people trust well know official pages/profiles more than some random pages, and this is right now exposed by these scammers while the profil/site owners do just .... nothing to protect their visitors.

i understand where your comming from,and i am in agreement with what you say
but maybe its better that twitter takes its responsibility and makes it a all crypto related twitter acc banner or something like that
but to me the quoted post was to mutch putting the empathis on the 'new verge tweet'. thats all

Nope, i have no verge agenda. I'am a verge miner for quiet some time now, i like the coin (at least so far) and it would make no sense to bash a given coin while actively mining and holding it. Its in the XVG thread(s) because it happened there and its somehow directly related to the hash attack as the scam advert wrote: "We are sorry for the attack, get compensated here..." which made some sense while being still frustrated with having mined for nothing with all baikals for 3 hours, and that on the official Verge XVG profil. I for sure would not have fallen into it under other circumstances.

yeah pools are still finding blocks, and this wont be an issue anymore shortly. we will be pushing an update and contacting all pool admins.

also, to clarify, this isn't a hack, it's an exploit/attack on mining, and will be resolved very soon. of course i'm calm, this happens in crypto all the time.

how much eth has been stolen this year? this is insignificant in contrast.

My jaw is on the floor reading this

Quite an obscene thing for a lead dev to say right? "Hey at least we're not getting exploited as much as the 2nd most popular crypto."

Sorry mate. This is an issue with ALL Crypto's on Twitter.
Also you need to do your own due diligence with this kind of stuff - Check the Twitter Handle.

I've reported numerous fake accounts and that is the only thing as users we can do.
IF someone is offering you something for nothing. It's probably too good to be true!

Well eth has a real use case and is actually valuable so that's probably why there's more time spent in figuring out exploits for it. Can you please explain why you initially wrote off ocminer when he approached you and only decided to take action after a post was made? Were you hoping that no one would hear of it?

i did not "write him off", nor did i say there is nothing to fix, as is quoted in the OP. can you please fix that ocminer?

Sorry, what do you mean by "fix"? You're saying he made a mistake and that what he quoted you as saying, you never said? Because he literally quoted you.

Things like this happen every once in a while but some people think it is verge exit strategy and I hope not. Verge seems to be a good coin hopefully they recover and produce a stronger security next time.

Interesting to see, that compared to any other alt coins the price of Verge seems not to fall deeper than any other. How does this come. I would have expected Verge price drop significantly.

The whole verge team is downplaying this like it's no issue at all. They don't tell them that it basically makes it a centralised currency. Not even crypto anymore.

Yea, I pulled my rigs off verge till things get fixed. Still looks like the exploit is happening just on a smaller scale than witnessed before.
