Panic !!! XMR Broken!!!

Can this attack/problem happen to BBR as well??

We don't know it is still being diagnosed. If we find anything that applies to other coins, we will pass it on to them. Even the ones we hate (which does not include BBR).



What happened yallz?

links anyone?

Not quite sure what that means but I'm glad I got out of this thing at 0048 and into XDN...

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.

Is there a paper wallet available like there is for BTC/LTC/etc.?

Yes, create a new wallet, preferably on an offline computer, write down the seed words it gives you, and write down the public address it gives you. That is your paper wallet. Send to the wallet using the public address. Use the seed words to access the coins from it by creating a new online wallet with the '--restore-deterministic' option.

Is there a paper wallet available like there is for BTC/LTC/etc.? I've only seen something command line. Waiting for the GUI before I can move funds off the exchange though - especially in light of your post. (Had problems installing wallet on MAC due to libraries, so holding off for now.)

Thanks in advance,

Don't panic - monero is a pretty young currency, so things like this were to be anticipated. Just pay the devs a good coin and wait for a proper solution - and of course get your btc ready for buying cheap moneros soon.

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.

Note the unconventional cAPITALIZATION!
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.
