This is why I suggested to freeze these accts for a while until we get to the bottom of the true mystery. However, from what I have seen, there is reluctance to set a precedent of freezing an acct for whatever reasons, even this.
It's impossible in decentralized system. Let me describe it:
- to freeze account we need to create code, that reject transactions from particular account ids;
- this code and list of acct ids must be included in all nodes of network;
- those nodes who doesn't contain rejecting code will fork when transactions from "frozen" accounts appear in blockchain;
- so, one more time: all nodes of network must contain rejecting code;
- so devs can't release software which start to reject frozen accouts right now; every changes of that type are always applied starting from some block in future, at least 3-4-5 days needed;
- in that time thief just move stolen coins to some other non-blocked account;
- so rejecting code will have no meaning.

Also, devs can't distribute online list of frozen accounts, because it leads to centralization.

That's all.

May I propose to not use the word darkNXT? It's not a good term in terms of PR and marketing.

BCNext offers a fun game to the community.

Rules:

1. Community decides what 3 questions they want to ask
2. Community posts these questions in this thread (in ~24 hours starting from now)
3. BCNext answers this questions (will be signed by the genesis account)
4. BCNext has the right to refuse to answer any (or all) of the questions (so don't ask his real name)

This is a win-win game. Community will get answers to some questions (like why the fund raising was cancelled so suddenly). BCNext will see how the community comes to a consensus without strict rules (like "the longest chain wins").

If u accept this offer u could start choosing the most important questions...




Whoa, that was fast, Pin! Didn't we get 24 hours for having fun? Wink

no reply, total packet loss.

The host drops all ping requests. Tried it from two different IPs.

So that's not necessarily a hint to your problem.

I can't get any access to DGEX for the last 5 hours (18 hours since my last login)
Not even getting a start page, just server not responding.
Tried clearing browser caches, tried Firefox and IE, XP and 7, but nothing
Can get to the login page via my mobile, so I know they are up, but the site isn't exactly optimised for phone use.

Anyone else with the same problem and/or possible solutions?
Does the new security algo block certain IPs or browser/OS versions?




ping dgex.com , which IP do you see?

46.28.204.90

no reply, total packet loss.

@mcjavr & timmyd :   Like i said, I know other people can get on, but I can't, except via mobile.
Feels like my IP is blocked, but.....why?

NEW SECURITY ALGORITHM IN USE - Update your password!
You may also use your old password, most important is that you
update the new encryption data to the DGEX database through the above form.

Did GCInc confirm that we should change our passwords?
didn't see his post today here...
You should change your password, as the old encryption algorithm was vastly more vulnerable to brute force attacks than the current one.

@ S3MKi:

Try restarting the Java applet and browser session.
If that doen't help, shut it all down again, replace yr current blocks.nxt and transactions.nxt with the backups (blocks.nxt.bak, transactions.nxt.bak), and start it all up again.

@BCNext: When will address checksums be implemented? Do you prefer to do it with 8,000 or 80,000 users? (Last one doesn't count, it's rhetorical).
What do you mean by address checksums?

Which brings us to the final thing I want to discuss - what is the group feeling on what we should do about EpicThomas in light of the fact that the 300K NXT in the bandit accounts is increasingly looking like darkNXT that he never really had his hands on.   EpicThomas commited a crime, period.  Is paying almost 48K NXT in restitution enough to where we just pillory him verbally in the forum and send him on his way in shame?  Or do you want to go for blood and have me file something officially with the FBI?


If we do NOT have concrete evidence (past NXT movements, future NXT movements from rogue accounts, etc.), I say LET IT BE!   Lips sealed

I would say so too.
Besides if it wasn't darkNXT in the end and all the 300k were stolen, than it was a bit our fault too. Not using Checksums on downloaded clients is just dangerous! And thats even more important for applications that involve money!

This EpicThomas-thing was here to raise our all awareness for security in downloading NXT-clients, at least thats a good thing.

NEWS FLASH : EPIC THOMAS PAYS RESTITUTION

... snip ...


rickyjames is a beast! I'd like to publicly thank you for your continued efforts with this unfortunate event. This, plus the donations we received earlier, has really shown me how great the NXT community is here and gives me great hope for the future of NXT.  Grin   

As I stated in my PM, I am OK with settling the case against EpicThomas for now. But keeping an eye on the stolen NXT seems like a good idea.
