I posted this question in one other similar area but it fits here too I think for ETN

Newb post here: The new hardfork will fix the issue that is allowing for the network attacks?

ETN is on the few coins I mine (all cryptonight) and I have not found a clear answer. Will a dev be able to give me a answer so I am sure?

I'm not a dev, but yes, hardfork will again make ASIC mining impossible for this algo. Now everybody is waiting for XMR team (cause Electroneum is basically a Monero fork) to develop a solution, and then ETN team will implement it.
That is nice, because my imo - basic isn't good for decentralization. But what about FPGA? Does anybody use SPARTAN or something like to mine ETN?

awesome news:

Electroneum is pleased to announce that Andre Patta is joining the team to focus on the development of our blockchain technology.
Andre has a huge amount of experience as a corporate software engineer working with companies such as Ericsson, and has spent much of his time in recent years working on the interaction of decentralised technology with the financial sector. He has worked extensively with the blockchain technologies of Ethereum and Monero, and the skills he has developed will be invaluable to us as we ensure that our blockchain is fully ready for mass adoption. His full experience and skillset can be seen on his LinkedIn profile here.
We have been highly impressed with Andre's contributions to the project as a member of the community and are delighted that he has agreed to become a fully fledged member of the Electroneum team. As well as assisting and advising our blockchain development, his role will involve liaising with the community from a technology perspective - improving our transparency on that front by holding a continuous dialogue with our passionate contributors, miners, holders and traders.
This is a community project, and working with Andre we are looking forward to involving our community more closely in the technological development of Electroneum. The dialogue we establish will predominantly take place through the Reddit community as well as on GitHub, and we are also looking at creating a new section of our website specifically for technological discussion.


This is indeed great news, I have seen many complaints here about the team's lack of development skills, looks like they have the solution. Bit by bit they are assembling a strong team to match their huge ambitions. It is still very early days for ETN, I believe they will go from strength to strength and they keep proving that they do listen to the community and that they know where they want to take Electroneum.

Ofcourse it's an airdrop, but they prefer to call it "mining simulation", which is fine by me!
Also, this kind of "airdrop" makes very good sense: Since the team is aiming to strike deals with companies from the mobile world, they need to offer something in the negotiations. That "something" will be phone users with ETN coins waiting to be spent, even if they're not miners with expensive rigs.
But this plan is linked to the price of ETN.

Yeah but somehow simulation word got lost along the way, everybody says they mine using their phone. Some of them even don't know they don't actually mine.


I've a friend who has several, yes several, phones "mining" ETN and another altcoin 'SweatCoin' and it took me several goes to explain to him that it's not mining but that it's really only an airdrop..I think he finally understood.

What's the difference, let it be a marketing reception, but if it is convenient to exchange coins - they can become very popular.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger
Mobile mining has nothing to do with real mining.

This is completely true.


I understand it's to attract more adoption to the app and people using mobile devices but other than that I really don't like the fictitious mobile mining, it just does not make any sense.

I don't like it either. They've could call it "airdrop". Why say you mine when in fact you don't mine. And why giving people with better smartphones more coins (after benchmarking the phone) ?

There is no attack its appril 1 joke. Dont panic . Angry

Unfortunately it's not April fool's joke. This is happening right now, but the attackers may not have enough hashpower to make double spendings. Read the Reddit thread, all info is there, and I know the team is working to put this to end.


Post any info on the possibility of "double spend"here or it didnt happen, because I dont see this as real whatsoever.

That is a HUGE jump to base on a "reddit thread"

Pure 100% FUD

You posted the link on your previous post, knowing most are not going to click on it.

Post the actual text.

I read it and there is NOTHING THERE.

HIGH HASH RATE?

There is ZERO proof that anyone has the hash rate to mount a 51% attack.

Where in the reddit thread is it "all there"?

LMFAO Grin Shocked Shocked Shocked Cheesy


 Cool


Edit:

And NO youre not in the "clear" by stating that the attackers "may not" not have the hash power. As you stated "I know the team is working to put this to an end"

THERE IS NO "THIS"

FUD

I think ETN is cheap enough.



To everyone else:

The community is still doing great, especially in these times that seem slow because it takes time to build a solid foundation.

It most likely took at least a third to the time to build the great pyramids in Egypt, filling in and preparing the foundation they were to be built on.

The answer to all your questions to Contraband can be summed up in a few words:

Dont worry about it. We are in VERY GOOD HANDS.

Buy now

Every once in a while I am surprised to see how quick people spread FUD and not good news. Sure a price increase of USD 0.002 - 0.003 might not be a huge deal for some people, but for me it was awesome news (my portfolio marked it as an 11.35% increase which is better than the 2% + - it had been showing).

I said this in a different thread earlier but I think many of us that joined the crypto game last year got spoiled with the bullish run crypto had at the end of 2017 and many people are pissed it’s been dipping and not rising. Guess we could call it a crash course in crypto volatility.

Does the 51% attack also affect the mobile miner?  I'm just curious because the team did say the mobile miner isn't an actual miner. Waiting patiently for the team to do a presd release regarding the attack and tips for ETN users to stay safe and avoid losses in such case scenarios.

I don't see why the 51% attack would affect mobile miners, but it would affect the source of the mobile miners coin which is/was mined, like you said you are not really mining all that's happening is that ETN estimates what your droid would mine if it could mine and then it airdrops the "mined" coins.

BTW, MiningPoolHub have a note on there website saying "- Electroneum network is under attack. Withdrawals are stopped temporarily. reddit link".
Referring to the Reddit link https://www.reddit.com/r/Electroneum/comments/88wbkv/electroneum_is_probably_under_a_51_attack_right/

They been promising a mobile miner for ages it wont make you nowt but a broken phone its just an open ended promise if you ask me another gimmick to make the coin different its no different than most other coins rent rigs if you want to mine

Someone know news about the attack?

there is no any problems - I withdrew my etn coins, which was purchased on Cryptopia, and got them in my cli wallet very soon

Someone know news about the attack?

The 51% attack is over, it failed.
There is some tx pool spamming, but it does not effect normal operations.

Many thanks guys, i will try to transfer a little ETN to test the network.

My pool still has etn withdrawals disabled.
