Title: [2016-06-22] DAO attacker ROCKS again! Post by: DAOstock on June 22, 2016, 03:09:03 PM Yes the attacker is on the move again right now. He donated some ether into the DAO and joined both whitehat splits. We drained the ETH he donated as fast as we could but he got what he wanted.
An attacker in now part of split 78 and he can now do the split attack again in that white hat DAOs. This is why we need a soft fork. I will publish a blog post very soon with the steps forward from now on. But DO NOT panic. That means that any other move the attacker would try to do would come after 24 days. And that gives us more than enough time to have the soft fork implemented. https://np.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4p9z93/it_seems_attacker_just_targeted_the_whitehatdaos/d4j7ldn Title: Re: [2016-06-22] DAO attacker ROCKS again!

Analogous to the unbounded recursion of Turing-complete scripting, the splitting can be recursed. Are we surprised. Title: Re: [2016-06-22] DAO attacker ROCKS again!

Looks like the only fix is going to be a fork. If you fork it, some of us will no longer be willing to support Ethereum and we will actively develop a competing project. I don't want to get into a debate about first mover, size of market, etc.. I understand already the points you would make. I am just making you aware that forking, will also fork your supporters. Please be aware of the cost. Title: Re: [2016-06-22] DAO attacker ROCKS again! Post by: Minecache on June 22, 2016, 07:48:34 PM Yes the attacker is on the move again right now.

Please be aware of the cost. Does making an "(un)attackable" currency make Ethereum (not a currency) Legit ? or not dead from an attack ? Did you think stealing a page out of my play-book would bolster your snarky failed retort ? Attitude is my game son and you need REAL smarts to back it up too.. otherwise you fall flat on your face. :D Don't accept imitations people.. demand the best ! |
