I wonder who was the first to provide the solution? CN devs seemed to come up with the solution somewhat faster. Although, if you think about it, it doesn't really matter who was the first. All I'm worried about is what if the next attack will be more sophisticated than the previous. That blockchain split was pretty scary I must say. Turns out Monero has some crafty rivals.  

We came up with the solution very quickly (actually I was able to diagnose the function that had the problem within an hour or two of the attack).

The CN devs walked in with their solution about 25 minutes after we published code on IRC. Amusingly, ByteCoin was also modifying the file where the bug was approximately two weeks ago. Kind of curious, isn't it?

I use old version of binary...
Nothing change - sync of bitmonerod have stopped at block 208402! It seems I hard stuck with this problem! Bitmonerod just can't get traffic anymore...Well, i don't know what really i have to do...

I think you may still have a permissions problem - when you shared the folder it fixed some of the problem but not all of it. Have you tried running bitmonerod.exe as administrator yet? (Right-click bitmonerod.exe and select the "Run as Admin" option")

new fee  0.1 XMR  (old only 0.005 XMR) oh too much
According to fluffypony, there's a good chance that a fix (per KB fees) will be ready in the near future.

you may already have bitmonerod running or another process is listening on port 18080. do a ps to check if bitmonerod is running. if it's not then there is something else listening on port 18080.

means that the port 18080
is in use
bitmonerod can not use it
and then
the program has ended
probably because you have
an open bitmonerod
in addition to what you want to open

for the dev team
you can not enter if the default port is busy
then automatically bitmonerod
test on another?
until it finds one?
or put a notice in these errors to be more
explanatory

As your blockchain is already past the fork, you can go back to the old version (that you said worked fine).
OK, If i use old version of binary... but what about transactions 0.1 XMR?

Don't use the old version and no one else should use the version either. It is exploitable, and attempts to exploit the bug in the future (which might well happen) will kick you off into your own fork even if the rest of the network doesn't follow along.

However, if you want, go ahead and test it to see whether that makes a difference. If it makes a difference to whatever problem you are having, please let us know. If not then, please get rid of the old version and never use it again.

Here is the previous version: http://monero.cc/downloads/monero.win.x64.20140824.zip
Feel free to use it, you have no reason or obligation to stay on the latest version right now.
I didn't understand why i have to use the previous version of binary?
fluffypony, please explain me this!  Roll Eyes

Well, you said the previous version worked fine for you. The new version makes sure that your blockchain is synced up to the right fork. As your blockchain is already past the fork, you can go back to the old version (that you said worked fine).

If you still have problems then it is an issue with your machine/Windows install. Have you got another machine you can try it on?

You're WAY WAY WAY past the fork. If it'll make you feel better you can run the previous binaries no problem. Any issues you're encountering have NOTHING to do with the fork patch, and are likely a result of something else we can't figure out.

Hello to all!  Wink
The beginning of my almost successful  sync (traffic is more 500Mb ): http://pastebin.com/iE44yhmy
My joy was short-lived...Sync of bitmonerod have stopped at block height: 208402 for hours,without any responding.
The ending of my almost successful  sync: http://pastebin.com/XUiPtvfR
(I use the command SAVE but in the end i nonetheless exit without saving because i was afraid the red blocks! I just decided to resync later.)
Then I was able to run simplewallet:  http://pastebin.com/fEMZCVi0
But simplewallet just showed me: no_connection_to_daemon!
After this sync the inscription -  
"You are now synchronized with the network. You may now start simplewallet." no longer appears, because bitmonerod pretty quickly freezes &  even makes me push RESET 'cause RELOAD in WIN7 doesn't work properly! Unfortunate last attempt to sync of bitmonerod: http://pastebin.com/BKAEtYjW
I'm terrified even now do not know what to do...
Why does XMR wallet work pretty well before?
May be is better use blockchain.bin from OP...AGAIN?
But simplewallet just can't connect to daemon?
Anybody have some smart ideas about my endless horror?  Shocked
I hope for your help, Saviors...  Sad

Try to delete your wallet.bin cache (backup wallet.bin.keys before) and then run simplewallet --wallet-file wallet.bin to rescan blockchain, your coins might come back to your wallet if you sent after fork issue. If not, contact support.

VERY BIG THANKS!

A few days ago I transfer from my wallet a few coin transactions on bittrex. The two transactions are not reached and I do not see them in blokcheyne, it is about 25 coins. Dear developers, help me find moent. transactions  24264b00e715d25e1dbc5a8e3d0f30fcdaf28165894976db6c58547bf1440a92   and 3bf10c4cbafba43dd091359a8959579ed9eb4a11f86310714b78f6d7cbc66797.

I'm really impressed by the DEVS response to the attack. I hope the price dipps so I can buy back in. Smiley

Have you sold all your XMR holdings in the wake of the attack? Wink

There's never been so much bid support near the price. Imagine: in the range of 0...-10% of the current price, and in one exchange alone, there is BTC388 waiting for the seller of 108,000 XMR (3.3% of all XMR). Now is the time to dump if anyone likes, next week the price will be quite much higher if no one dumps now Wink

I am not sure
the price can go down very quickly. I already have a lost on my investition, I am not going to dump right now
