Bittrex.com has disabled Monero.

There was an announcement that some coin will be removed. Monero was not on that list. What is going on? I was carefull and held just part of my Monero in bittrex, but I am anyway pissed of. Is Monero really removed form Bittrex or just for a while. Is there any way to got those Monero back?

Thank you. That is the reason. Poloniex has also problem with Monero. Lets hope they will be solved.

how can i avoid it ending again on the wrong chain if i resync after redownloading the blockchain from scratch?
thank you

Download the blockchain, make a copy of it. If your sync fails, you can go back to the copy and try again.
are you saying it is just a 50/50 probability issue?

No because more and more people will be on the right chain. There are still some nodes on the broken chain but it should become increasingly rare so you will be less likely to sync with them.

ok, then i'll wait some hours before trying to sync again, thank you for explaining smooth.

I'd check ChainRadar first, as they are on the correct chain: http://chainradar.com/xmr/blocks

If it's not there, then yes, you need to re-download the blockchain, and then delete your wallet.bin (not the .bin.keys) and reopen it as normal. simplewallet will recreate that cache from the wallet creation date onwards, and since you never sent anything on the current chain your coins will still be there.
Erm, it's showing on both.

Whom believe?

Cryptonote has been a cluster fuck from the start. Deliberately poorly coded with exploitable mining and made by a scam team. I appreciate that Monero had nothing to do with that but the algorythm is fucked at its core.

When can we expect for Poloniex to enable Monero market again?

[...]  XMR and BBR are in the same situation here. [...]

But only one of these is relevant enough to actually get attacked.  Grin
Apologies, but I could not resist the temptation of participating in the ramble of thoughts concerning the diverse 3-lettered initiatives.

I would like to extend wishes of a "nighty night" to tacotime, who brought forth meaning to the expression blockchain voyeurtm.
(Note, that's a good thing, I'm just glad you're around and attentive)

after starting my wallet it seems to be stuck on block 202651:
Code:
2014-Sep-04 13:13:11.279692 [P2P1][36.33.57.101:18080 OUT]Sync data returned unknown top block: 202651 -> 203025 [374 blocks (0 days) behind]
SYNCHRONIZATION started

did it end on the wrong chain? since the wallet wasn't running during the fork, how can i avoid it ending again on the wrong chain if i resync after redownloading the blockchain from scratch?
thank you

Let's give the coin vs. coin sniping a rest for a while.

We're all working on addressing the issue.


I agree.

Answering these questions legitimately, will only let your words be used against you. This is a blatant strawman attack, financially motivated and executed technically with a blockchain spam attack. Nothing less than an act of terrorism.

Anyone giving any unconfirmed details is part of it at this point.

My gut! This will be MOON (with capital letters) for boolberry!

Monero devs should act as fast as possible.

Zoidberg admitted to having the same weakness in Boolberry.

you forgot to mention the part where he says he can mitigate an attack because it takes so long and that a solution has already be thought of.

CZ didn't say he has a solution. He said he could implement a workaround:

Quote from: crypto_zoidberg
Bad news is that Boolbery also have this flaw. (Like every Cryptonote).
Good news - that this attack need pretty long period of preparation, because to achive big amount of transactions per block attackers need to move median, it's a day or more. That means that even if i see that attack is starting i have enought time to update network with workaround rule, that won't let grow transactions count per block too much to fail.

Yes, Zoidberg doesn't even say he know what the problem is. He just said it takes a while and he can mitigate it. The Monero devs can do the same thing (for example limit the number of transactions in a block temporarily or whatever).

XMR and BBR are in the same situation here.
