You are beyond pathetic. Malicious twerp.

Karma will bite a nice chunk out of your ass one day.

For the record I did not DDOS Poloniex.

If I did I promise you I would have told you.

I have nothing against Poloniex and have no interest bothering them.

As was pointed out by a few other posters, this is not my style.

More than likely some poser that was going to try and get some coins out of you.

None of this meant to be a hostile action, I just want to see if XMR can fix their holes.

Anyone can knock down a coin by hitting an exchange. No fun in that.


Believe what you want to believe but anybody that has been here for any time knows, that wasn't me.

That depends on the nature of the attack and how quickly we are able to detect it.

I can only say that a credible threat has been made, with a time stated for when it will occur.

No change to what I said earlier about not being aware of anything unusual happening at this time.

Beyond that you will have to use your own judgement

The price for the spot instances is rising. Perhaps you did not bid high enough?

a way to have a full node start mining automatically upon launch?

It's significant that the threats against XMR were made in the Poloniex trollbox, then Poloniex was DDOSed as a "test" last night.

I've been following all this since the beginning, and the whole thing looks like nothing more than an elaborate price manipulation scheme to me.

Judging from the recent XMR volume stats, not much of the buying is going on. I wonder if this whole thing about the attack wasn't contrived to buy some cheap XMR it could mean that the exploit is a real threat.

The attack threat will be over in a few hours and by then your XMR will be worth nada. You shoulda stayed true to btc and not started with with monero. Today is gonna be a sad day for your portfolio.

Good luck

If it becomes publicly clear at time X that an attack has begun, approximately when (relative to X) would the "old part of the blockchain" (which you said "will be fine regardless") end?

I don't have any information whatsoever about anything unusual happening at this time. As far as I can tell, everything is working perfectly. Hope that helps.

I think all the people trying to profit each way will wind up with minimal profits from all this.

There are a host of new people, in MEW and outside, who are contributing to XMR development now. This development boost will definitely not end when this attack threat is over. I am very grateful to this work, mostly donated by members of community that believe standing up to outside threat is not only somebody's duty but that of their own. In decentralized development there are no somebodies. Everyone can contribute and the number of volunteering requests sent has been much more than what we have been able to centrally organize. Therefore people have developed this kind of initiatives (I will add link soon) all by themselves.

As for the market, it may do whatever. I have probably been following it more closely than you, and it seemed to me that it was just about to explode to the upside after making a triple bottom in 370, or especially after the capitulation in 340. When it was resolved to go up, came the "trollbox ultimatum" with known consequences to the price. After combining many trend models, the price should imo be in the 360-400 range now with a strong upward trend. Judging from the fundamentals, much higher.

Congratulations for nomination to be a Boolberry executive! I have also become an executive in MEW. It is important for the lurkers to know where we stand and why I suddenly care to answer to your messages that I have previously ignored due to our personal issues.

Please tell me, which of the Boolberry threads needs my introduction and predictions of the BBR price trends? I am happy to make a counter-visit

Any estimate of when we should expect "another statement later"?  Before or after the alleged start time of the attack?

To be clear, I wasn't asking whether the attack might start earlier than claimed, which is obvious, but whether that was the only reason to refrain from any transactions now.

I have not made any specific recommendation other than what I said above, please use your best judgement. We will have another statement later.


Of course it could.
