its .more like .1%...
20 million is about 0.1% and not 1%. Without the exploit a big mining farm with multiple algo's could have mined the same. Not taking sides here, lets keep it accurate.

Typo, meant to post .1% already guessed around 17mil yesterday(page 4 if im not mistaken).
I"ll correct it though seeing as that the attacks have started again he'll have well over 20mill by now, haven't looked further into it seeing as that the exact amount is not that important, 20M, 80M, 100M it all boils down to the same thing:
 
How can anyone possibly say it's no problem and just be alright with it? Seriously what Huh

He can't do simple math.
He missed a period and thus his entire argumentation is bull? What strain of shrooms are you on? Would love to have a referral seems like it's high quality stuff.

1)I stated fact, your account is brand new and that was your first message
2)I don't own any Verge
3)Ocminer had a very wrong behavior. You first talk to devs let sort them out a quick fix, then explain to the world what is happening. Not the "vice versa".
4)This is a drama because what happened sucks but by quoting CryptoYeff
Quote
at the end of the day what did we lose? 20-30 million coins--- who gives a sh!t-- means nothing compared to max supply---- we lost half a day of mining? not the end of the world.

Are really this dense or are you just pretending to be? What do you mean drama? Losing .1% of the total supply through an exploit: "no big deal".
This isn't fud you dense ***** this is truth. There is no uncertainty here, verge has a critical bug that is STILL live.

OCminer did everything exactly the way he should have done.
After contacting the dev team and getting laughed at(it is working as intended?Huh??)
Seeing as that it's an ongoing attack his loyalty should always lie with his miners first and the devs of random coins second.
He didn't only raise public awareness without exploiting it but also mentioned solutions.
The verge dev should be getting on his goddamn knees to thank this man this man for pointing out what is happening without benefiting from it himself.


Now if we look at yesterday with the knowledge we have today what can we conclude?
1. The "fix" didn't fix it at all.
2. There was blatent lying on their twitter(not only massively underplaying the gravity of the exploit(small hash attack), it didn't just last 3 hours and they didn't fix it either).
3. The dev should be working overtime to try to fix this thing instead of barking nonsense on this site and reddit, he has his shill....marketing team for that.
4. The "fix" was copy pasted from peercoin, just as the "wraith protocol" was copy pasted from opalcoin.

The ridiculousness of this situation is baffling.
Justin what are you doing??? You've made so much money from this coin how is it possible that you can't hire competent coders to hotfix this and other things if you can't do it yourself???

Wonder when they are going to hardfork it

why would we do that? we just made a quick simple update and most pools have already updated...

we are now working on a higher level of redundancy checking as well.

the attack only lasted 3 hours, and not all coins produced during that period were intercepted.



Are you reading what you have said yourself?

"Only 3 hours". At 1 block/second that is almost 17000000 verge
Current marketprice: "only" ~152 BTC: at 6800$/btc that is just over 1000000$
Wtf do you mean only 3 hours?!

Great questions, thanks.

Regarding abuse, we are integrating jury.online solution which is decentralized escrows that allows dispute resolution. More on the topic in this article: https://[Suspicious link removed]/QeCpqp

As for cryptospace competitors, our business plan summarize it:
[...]

Thank you for the swift reply, I'm looking forward to see the progress of this project: a system for online payments without this system being able to directly control your money(Paypal freezing accounts) & preserving privacy would be a very welcome breath of fresh air into the world of online shopping.

First QUESTION OF THE DAY reward goes to BBBoi

Welcome to day 2 and good luck!

Thanks! How do I go about claiming it? Do I send you my MyEtherWallet adress in a private message?

What are the advantages that E-commerce proposes to offer compared to other cryptocurrency that are currently already in the market?
I read in the whitepaper that you place yourselves in a comparison/concurrent position to paypal/neteller etc. but I find no mentions of other crypto.

Futhermore how are you planning to prevent abuse of the moneyback system mentioned in the whitepaper? If it's initiated by the buyer without additional checks in place the seller might be placed in a peculiarly vulnarable position(paypal abuse on ebay is a current example that comes to mind).
