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

At this point the attack has been handled with neither a persistent fork nor a roll-back.  Well done.


What are the chances for a recurrent attack?

New accounts have warned quite much about it. The Monero devs do their best to prevent attacks, and C_Z is helping also. The community has also shown that even a technically successful attack (fork did happen) does not cause the loss of trust (price trend did not change).

In the long term, we are open to pursue a diplomatic solution to this conflict and I can be a diplomatic middleman if so desired.

Means you are synced. The error indicates the the peer is having trouble, not you.


Should I shut down the wallet and resync from the scrach again?

Type diff in the daemon window. Compare height with chainradar.com. If you are the same block (or within 1-2) then you are synced fine and you don't need to resync anything.

The above messages do not indicate any problem.

Is replacing the executables (Windows) the only requirement? Is blockchain resync required?

If you have previously downloaded or synced a blockchain, the updated version will use your existing blockchain and catch up from there if possible. If not possible (unlikely) it will tell you and you will have to download a new one.

Looks like I am good then. Thanks.

Ok, all binaries updated, this is a mandatory update to 0.8.8.3 -

››› Windows 64-bitOS XLinux •  Source code ‹‹‹

SHA sums for each download:

monero.win.x64.latest.zip - 7b89c14891cab57aa292d3826227c99bd2c8e203
monero.mac.x64.latest.tar.bz2 - 10854bbc549de5eff6609e102a8f778d6e99af29

Please be advised that after releasing binaries we bump the build number up on github on the staging repo, so if you're building from github you will end up on 0.8.8.4.

I verified the SHA-1 for both of these files - the same!

What command options are you using to launch bitmonerod?
RentaMouse, I just launch bitmonerod.exe. What's wrong?

Tried running bitmonerod.exe from a "Run as Admin" command prompt?
  I'm Admin of this PC & have all rights... I've done the same before, it worked.

If you're just running bitmonerod.exe with no extra options then that's fine.


If its Windows 7 or 8 then just being admin of the PC may not be sufficient, you still have to right-click bitmonerod.exe and select "Run as administrator" for it to actually have admin rights too.

I appreciate it doesnt make much sense if it just worked before but then this is a newer version of the bitmonerod.exe so maybe something has changed.

searched the last few days of posts, but could not find anything, but anyone else having problems with Extremehash payouts?
I currently have 20+ monero there waiting to be paid out. all confirmed.

Really you should try asking on #monero-pools on IRC, or emailing the pool admin, but I've heard a couple of other people say they havent been paid for the last couple of days. I think they may have frozen payouts after the network attack, but they should be able to re-enable them by now.

I assume you updated your Monero application to the current release from yesterday? Assuming you have done that you will need to get in touch with extremehash about any payment issues.

Aaxx - What command options are you using to launch bitmonerod?

I'm wondering if you still have several exclusive nodes set and that is confusing it, I know you said you tried it without earlier but the peer IPs looked familiar in the log...

EDIT: Looking at it some more, I dont think that's the problem if its freezing at that point in the log because we can see it has connected to peers and requested blockchain data. I thought RAM shortage too, but sounds like you have plenty, and you say its not antivirus software either. Is it possible you have strange permissions on your appdata folder and it can't create a new poolstate.bin file or something? Tried running bitmonerod.exe from a "Run as Admin" command prompt?
