It would be huge if Jets gets a miracle win nearly half of the entries took the Pats in their survivor pool. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) That would be amusing. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

News
Grin experienced a network level attack during the night of Nov 7-8, where an entity acquired enough hash power to perform reorg attacks.
@mcmmike and @deev authored an incident report that gives further details.
The community discussed and solidified its stance regarding 51% attacks back in July when we were warned about the risk when another project was attacked. The position was and remains that Grin would rather suffer a 51% attack than adopt an unsound longest chain rule.
It’s not unreasonable to expect further attacks to follow. As for any proof of work mined coin, before accepting a large amount transaction as valid, you should wait for a high number of confirmations.
On this basis, @energyburn proposes a mitigation with Dynamic TX confirmation times in the wallet.
Shout out to @joltz, @quentinlesceller, @deev, and @mcmmike who were working through the weekend researching and analysing the incident. This is light on information, is there a link to the more detailed incident report? Also could you elaborate on the bolded?

Looks like FUD, right before a sell off. But if you can't attack the tech then mindshare is the next best vector.
They could be running a honey pot site and get that many customers to "reveal" nothing very interesting.
Yeah, if you went to that url with an open IP don't be surprised if you see your IP on the next FUD update. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hehe, fans tend to overreact, in a positive and negative way ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If everything goes normal, the Pats will win this. I'd like to see FitzMagic, Cam is a loser at least Fitz makes things interesting. We need to trade for him Lol. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) So I am putting some money on the Jets as well ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Smart bet I think and if someone told me last year I'd be saying that this year I'd have bust a nut laughing at them ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) And the Sunday night game between the Saints and the Buccaneers was a complete disappointment, it is very rare for me to stop watching a NFL game but after half I knew the game was over and decided to watch something else. I gotta say this was the most dumbfounding game I have seen in as long as I can remember! I can find zero logic in what happened in that *cough game.

What the fucking hell is this world coming to?* nullius suddenly likes Americans, with their “from my cold, dead fingers” thing. The E.U. political machine was fucked up from its inception; but this... this... Watch for global-international pincer movement against the tools that individuals can use to preserve some remaindered last shred of freedom against One World tyranny. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FeW-OMR-iWOE%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg&t=663&c=6tmZRmGC6cvcwQ) ^^^---click Image for video

Does this mean i can use advanced mode without downloading the blockchain? Or will these settings apply in simple mode as well? OK. I'll try thank you! If your concerned about your transaction being traced I would wait until this issue is handled, using a remote node even if trusted is not recommended. If you don't care if the transaction ever gets revealed then go for it. If I was a devious person and wanted to attack the mindshare of Monero I would compromise trusted nodes and then insert a bug that herded people use those nodes. Then I would use that information to expose transactions and fud the project. I'm sure this isn't what happened but if you wear a tinfoil hat then this is a thought.

Bitcoin price is up 50% from the time we began the purchase of the Crypto Cruise Ship. As of 4:20PM GMT today, the MS Satoshi is now owned by Ocean Builders. The auction for the cabins is now open: https://oceanbuilders.com/auction-page/You can have a cabin on the Satoshi for less than 2 BTC. The official stamps for the ship have been made: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fscontent.fpac1-2.fna.fbcdn.net%2Fv%2Ft1.0-9%2F123261220_10158559091352850_6063737670934245614_o.jpg%3F_nc_cat%3D100%26ccb%3D2%26_nc_sid%3D8bfeb9%26_nc_ohc%3DqJDTXZl84doAX8gf79g%26_nc_ht%3Dscontent.fpac1-2.fna%26oh%3Dbcd2c252d9fb6af77a756d506aab5ee0%26oe%3D5FC999B4&t=663&c=A20AUiX41yaUgw) You are a respected person with good reputation, please don't take my comment personally. But this cruise ship story sounds so unbelievable, it makes my scam detector go wild. anyway, great stuff. good luck! If Elwar is a scammer then I will have lost all faith in bitcointalk, you need to do some more research. I thought about grabbing one even though I got a buddy with a hotel I can goto anytime I want going up here. https://www.google.com/maps/place/San+Andrés/@12.5404561,-81.7392736,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x8f05a57a2812317f:0x39d7645f866b54c6!8m2!3d12.5450153!4d-81.7075787

So went down to the local bitcoin ATM to pick up a thousand in either litecoin or bitcoin. First the owner changed and now it only does BTC. Second their fucking buy price was $14,600 and sell price of $18,500. Fuck you does not begin to describe my thoughts on this matter :-)
Maybe it's time to go get a real exchange account tied to a real bank and passport and a sample of my nutter butter. For a US cit, what's the valid options these days?
I used Paxos as a test and had no issues whatsoever and received my corn within hours about a year ago with no fees.

How many times have we seen Monero sort of decoupled from the alts? It ran up on it's own a couple weeks back, and now is not joining in on the alt rebound.
Seems like this happens more often to Monero than others... then again it's a non-scientific subjective observation.
I am assuming there is a lot of sell pressure into which the alt rally is pushing?
Monere is decoupled from shitcoins and that is backed by science and math. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Let's see what this week will bring us.
Well Monero my just hit the brakes. No idea if BS or not but the claim is that Monero anonymity is broken. https://monero-badcaca.net/Lol

Stocking up on coins with no history, interesting. Doubt they care about history. Most likely subsidizing the electricity, then requiring miners to sell for their useless fiat. Pretty sure there's no need to mine if they were ready to buy with gold coins I'll let smarter guys than me Mull on this.
