As soon as I've posted this, the attacker stopped his pool .. now we need to rollback the last 13h of the chain or leave the attacker with 13h * 1 second blocks

13 hours? It didn't last longer than 3 hours, are you trying to get admitted to the verge FUD army? Dev is already working in the fix it will be done soon

He meant roll back to the 13th hour or 1pm. Not roll back 13 hours.

The FUD factory started. Missed out on low sats and got frustrated.

so is there another fork coming? due to the flaw

There's going to have to be. Verge Dev Team will fix it quickly as they don't want anything to interfere with their upcoming partnership.

Nobody is spreading fud about an attack that actually happened. There's proof that has been presented to everyone here. OCMiner is a *highly* respected member of the mining community, has been for years. Multiple pool operators have agreed with the assessment. Please save the attacks on him or the mining community at large. THAT is unproductive.

I'm not involved with Verge, but just shouting FUD and Moon doesn't help anyone. Any arguments why this is fake news or concrete evidence?

All back to normal? I see nethash is also back.

Yep, the attacker stopped his malicious pool as soon as I posted this - however he mined about 13h in the above manner, i've posted some of his addresses above, all those coins are in the network currently and "dumpable" as well as the bug is also still in the code of XVG.. so someone could do that anytime again.

I've added a few of the attackers addresses to the post, you can look them and the balance up on the block explorer, from what I see there are at least 300 more such addresses which would need to be all verified to make sure it's him...

From what I see many tx'es are already sent somewhere.. Exchanges ?

As i understand, "highly likely" they have been traded already? If it is so how can someone roll it back?

If they have already been sold, then the price should have fallen dramatically, but it's vice versa by 10% for today has grown, something does not fit in here.
In general, nothing is clear so far))) But from a sin far away it is better to sell XVG Grin

Just look up my addresses above, you'll notice the hacker is not a total idiot and didn't move all the coins yet

what pool was it? I for myself would like to avoid such pools in case its a public pool.

But if @Devs don´t fix it, the attacker can start again anytime. Bad time for XVG is coming. Cry
