This is not fair. The hack looks serious. It has not occurred on other coin
I want to sell now before others realise the news. Many are still sleeping.
You prevent me from doing so?!!
This really did make me giggle.. Thanks..

Network is forked. Do not move funds, do not spend, we're likely going to have to apply an emergency patch and roll back to before the corrupted block.

What does that link mean, tacotime?
Successful attack achieved by including a corrupted block, we're trying to figure out what happened now.
transactions for 0.0000000 xmr = successful attack ?
Well its at least a bloat attack... but inserting a corrupted block. woof. I am worried about the implications.

It is unexplained why, even after accounting for the PoW time, Monero takes more time per block even though it has fewer transactions per block. This definitely requires further investigation. I expect we will have a better understanding of it over time as we work on removing bottlenecks.
I read elsewhere that BBR uses a block format that is revised form the original CN block format. Can any of the time difference per block be attributed to this difference in block formatting?
Not likely but until we understand specifically what is going on it can't be ruled out. My understanding is that the format change involves not including the ring signatures in the block hash. However the block hash is computed using an extremely fast algorithm (for both coins), so I can't imagine this making more than a negligible difference.

silly question, considering there's only a 64-bit linux build... can the wallet + daemon run on a raspberry pi?
Right now since the blockchain is being stored in RAM, absolutely not. Maybe in the future.

Edit - DO NOT send fromany exchange to your cold wallet/offline wallet, UNLESS they can give you the TXID for the monero blockchain verification, otherwise you have no way of verifying the transfer. (Correct me all night guys if i'm wrong and thanks to all for the help lately, especially smooth and fluffypony)!
You are correct. Complain to the exchange if they won't give you a txid.
However, if you are truly paranoid, even a txid isn't good enough enough because you can't verify that the correct amount is going to your address. Best to withdraw from the exchange to a live wallet, verify the correctness of the transaction, and then send to a cold wallet yourself.
This will be addressed with the view key functionality, eventually. You will be able to observe and verify the transactions into your cold wallet online without you or anyone else being able to spend from it.

What are the thoughts on using multiple wallets?
I have a small amount in my original wallet from mining. I just created another wallet as I want to move most of my stash off the exchange and I'm considering more than one for this. I have multiple btc wallets and understand that the primary reason for doing this does not exist with Monero. I guess for Monero I'm thinking of it more as my own organization, [mining wallet, long term wallet(s), transaction wallet(s)], as well as a don't keep all your eggs in one basket reflex.
I've also heard advice that one should do a test transfer to a new wallet to make sure everything is working. Is this necessary?

personally, i can understand the idea that you dont' want all eggs in one basket. However, with XMR (not BTC), noone but you can know what your address holds for a balance. I admit, I honestly don't know how hard it is for hackers to attack wallets etc etc, but I can say the coin's technical properties make me use only like 2 wallets. one online, one offline..this is the (mostly correct?) procedure i used for my offline wallet, directly from fluffypony, one of the devs. However - It's difficult, because unlike BTC, you cannot actually see your balance unless you verify the txid on the blockchain, but so far i'm ok with that, until viewkey feature is working)!
Edit - DO NOT send fromany exchange to your cold wallet/offline wallet (use a temporary Simplewallet address as the middlman)!, UNLESS they can give you the TXID for the monero blockchain verification, otherwise you have no way of verifying the transfer.
