Interesting how stable the prize is, considering the delays.

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.
If we are talking in the broadest sense. Are we talking this year?

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.

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.

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.

Let's address all this after we are done with recovery and have official builds up.

lol. Is that like a $5 USD bounty?
2.5 XMR Bounty to create AWS Linux AMI to mine XMR on CPU and GPU https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8695669
Yeah, thanks for doing the math on that one. You get an ass hat for that.
Dude, right now its not profitable. You are better of buying XMR with the money you'll spend on AWS.
September 06, 2014, 04:25:06 AM
Just to correct this - we're NOT going to be using the CN tree_hash.c change, because as you pointed out it's not entirely correct. Our correctly patched tree_hash.c is here: https://github.com/rfree2monero/bitmonero/blob/pr-fix-treehash2/src/crypto/tree-hash.c
well, you get integer overflow due to incorrect range check for cnt:
Code:
size_t ints_size = cnt * HASH_SIZE;
Check rather that cnt <= SIZE_MAX/HASH_SIZE
Anyways, it does not help because you use alloca(), you probably have 8 MiB stack size limit on Linux.
tree_hash_cnt could be simplified, I have
Code:
size_t cnt = (size_t)1 << __fls(count - 1);
(__fls from Linux source code)

I'm one guy with a few XMR, trying to mine my way to some more XMR. I'm not a pool op, a dev, a BTC early-adopter, or anything like that.
I could have begged for help, but instead I offered a bounty. Glad you got a lulz.

More soon.
Any update on the updated update regarding the updated update yet?Yeah. We tried a couple different things and this one seems to work.
https://github.com/tewinget/bitmonero/commits/202612_exception
We may replace the tree-hash code still because that solution from CN isn't quite right either, but you can download this, build, and try syncing it to the main chain now if you'd like.
Thanks you and other devs for getting on top of this. It's a distraction from progressing with features, but just like addressing a bug in a production application, you should gain some knowledge out of all this that can be of value in the future.
