What's the status of XMR's collaboration with i2p?
Ongoing, we've formed a working group with i2p, Abscond, i2pd, and Anoncoin, called Privacy Solutions. i2pd is reaching a level of working-ness that should allow us to start integrating it soon. Given the number of moving parts it's extremely hard to put a timeframe on it.
In other news, we updated the list of exchanges, adding latest exchanges and deleting those that failed to deliver. Please remember that we do not endorse any exchange; we only list them once we check they actually propose exchanging Monero.
Although you have 0.8.8.2 at the top of the page, further down above the blockchain downloads you have listed and linked 0.8.8 from June 11th.

I see BTC38 listed under others, can you elaborate on this? Also can't find the trading pair @ btc38.

Still can't sync 
It's been a while now... should have been sorted out by now?
It's been a while now... should have been sorted out by now?If you're stuck in the dead fork you have to either use a bootstrap blockchain download from us (see OP), or wait for our rollback fix, or try sync up from scratch.
I thought a rollback was the most secure way to remove the rouge blocks and fix the ongoing corruption.
Is that the best of a worst bunch of options? It does come with some risks.

Ok - Windows blockchain has been updated with one that is synced up past the fork correctly -
http://monero.cc/downloads/blockchain/win/blockchain.bin
sha: 8c23da70c1291a61444090d8d5127dd6c12efa81
We won't update that blockchain for a few days, although when it updates once the patch is fully tested and deployed that sha will obviously change:)
Thanks for your patience!

Another reason may be that the still lasting issues hardly effect daytrading at exchanges.

Interesting how stable the prize is, considering the delays.
I believe this to be the increased confidence in the devs. They have shown to be consistent in their delivery and extremely fast in reacting to any major issues. They have remained professional and to investors this is a huge plus. There are other factors but for me this is one of the coins I hold without worry.

If we are talking in the broadest sense. Are we talking this year?
I would imagine so, yes - I'm running i2pd in its current form to connect to irc2p, and now that most of the memory leaks have been squashed it's quite stable. There's still a lot of work to be done (the "moving parts" I mentioned), but it's way, way further ahead than when we first partnered up with i2p:)

Get the latest binary off the OP and try again
Edit: and delete your p2pstate.bin and poolstate.bin, your p2pstate.bin is definitely corrupt.

Some questions tied to speculative thoughts on the attack.
When the network was spammed to try and bloat the block chain, was that actually part of the attack? Wouldn't you want to slow down the network and cause some transaction volume to slow as part of the prep work?
Maybe if you were trying to take control, a slower network, down to what you could manage, would be a necessity.
To counter the block chain spamming, was the fork to increase the fees an anticipated outcome for the attacker and something he was relying on, or was that a problem that required him to force another fork?
Although the events were some weeks apart, it is still quite a lot of attack activity in a relatively short period of time.
Happy to delete this post if you think it just promotes unnecessary FUD.
