Topic: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency - page 1407. (Read 4671575 times)

I've been telling people to move to small pools and solo mine for several days now. If they don't listen, I can't really do any more than that.

If this coin is attacked by DDoS of three pools then we deserve it. Sorry to say.

He ddosd polonex and overcame 200gbs ddos shield...isn't that enough to take down all three big pools and have peanuts of hash left?

countdown timer for attack is still wasting away, about 18 hours to go now i guess we'll see if its legit or not...

XMR Bahholders

big news -  Poloniex is getting dossed by someone claiming to be BCX who got banned and claimed he would attack them!! da fuq!!??\

edit - sorry they are back right now. we'll see.

And where is the apology for being a dick towards zoidberg and James all along? Not only personally but spreading your venom to other delusional slaves in the management chain? Nice press release, my compliments for the wonderful use of snake oil.

Nope, just threats.

I like this buy.

WORD, If I listened to him, I'd be broke ten times over.

Funny you show up when price is rising again. What's the matter, didn't finish buying?

so there is / was a confirmed flaws / possible exploits ?

I actually made that mistake the first time, second time, I set it at $.10.  It stayed as "pending evaluation" for about 2 hours, and then strangely showed as "instance terminated by user."  Which is strange, since the one I terminated since the fee was too low was marked as "canceled before fulfillment."

Trying it again, will let you know if anything different happens.

Thanks for the update Risto! In a way these attacks are proving to be a blessing in disquise..Hoping for the best outcome!

What kind of fix was done ? the code is not yet updated right?

You may have set your spot price bid too low. If you click on the spot request, you should see the reason it's not fulfilled down at the bottom of the screen. Try to make your bid a half or full cent above the current spot price and see if that gets it going.

MEW - Monero Economy Workgroup communication

This has been a busy day. The taskforce of crypto_zoidberg, AnonyMint, jl777 and some Monero developers and MEW members has diligently worked on the code and is implementing fixes to possible exploits that might give the attacker the upper hand. The code is evaluated so that we can say with certainty that no coinkiller exploit can be used against us, and this makes me thankful for the original coders of CryptoNote. It is too often forgotten that without this unique technology there would be no Monero that has taken the torch, determined to carry it beyond the current limits of cryptoworld.

Although I cannot personally evaluate all the work that has been done, I would like to thank everybody who have been working on the issue. There are many unique contributions that together make sure that we are able to withstand the attack. I feel that the situation is similar to the attack that we had to thwart only two weeks ago, as we now again stand united.

The MEW will be officially inaugurated tomorrow with 18 members. We will open the membership as soon as possible for everyone who is interested in contributing to Monero's success. The minimum membership fee will be set to 10 XMR to ensure that everybody has an opportunity to join. Our organization is minimal because the activities will be carried out by members themselves, in groups of their choosing. David Latapie serves as Members Executive, I have been selected to be the Operational Executive, and NewLiberty will be our Judge. For practical matters, you will have to contact David, and he will tell when we are ready to take new members.

The attack has served in tightening our ranks and we are now in front of several fundamental decisions. These will be discussed and voted upon by the community in MEW. In a way I even feel grateful that this opportunity to make things straight has fallen upon us. We now have more confidence on the code, and on the developers. The community is unified and I have been inundated with PM's offering help and support. From the quantity of troll posts one would believe that there is some general animosity towards Monero, but the PM's alone speak volumes about the support.

In the end, a coin's value is upheld by people who trust it and decide to own it. The people who do not trust it and do now own it, also do not have a say concerning the value. Monero will be developed for its users, not for the ones who do not use it. I believe the strengthening of the code and the community is very positive for Monero's future.

I tried this, and it has been saying "pending evaluation for over an hour.  Maybe because this is my first time setting up an EC2 instance?

It's too quiet here today.

Either way the thread is moderated either by bitcointalk staff or by someone within the coin's community. Scumbag traders resort to cross coin promotion and fudpacking to promote their own loaded investments. The only way to mitigate their assault is by shifting to a self moderated thread or an independent forum. I know at least one person working on a new altcoin forum where Monero actually has it's own section http://cryptotrust.io/.

I'm a big fan of all privacy focused coins that have real development behind them and Monero is definitely among them. Starting off with a new source is going to come with some uphill battles as the code isn't as battle tested as bitcoin or its forks; However, the amount of work going into the codebase to make it maintainable shouldn't be an invite for shitbag traders to troll developers work. The end goal here is financial privacy, which is an idea that most of us believe will someday be a reality. One way to help speed this up is gathering all the major coins together and moving to a proper forum that promotes altcoin growth and development over shitcoin pump and dump groups.
