Nobody else is concerned that this person was able to ssh to the server without firewall rules blocking him?  

Sounds like the only reason anyone even knew what was going on was due to the entire server being down and a bunch of wallets being offline.  

What happened was an attacker used social engineering to gain root access to a wallet server. This was made possible by absolutely jaw-dropping negligence on the part of the hosting provider.

All funds are safe. Poloniex does use cold wallets.

Fortunately, I caught the attempt in time and was able to shut down the server before anything was taken. All BTC has been moved into cold storage, and then next step is to set up a new server with a different provider.

Please stop sending BTC to your old BTC deposit addresses. The funds will not be lost, but all new addresses must be generated, as I must assume the old wallet is compromised. It is very unlikely that it was, but "unlikely" is not good enough.

I appreciate everyone's patience while I take proper security measures before bringing the exchange back online.

coin control is already in.....

You should average around 2 blocks per day. Keep mining 

I try to avoid drama these days but just wanted to say I thought the launch was extremely fair. I was mining it about 3 minutes after links were posted. There was a pretty launch post of like 6 hours I think and hr did indeed have pool links up for it too

That Chinese pool dominated most of the blocks but they had like 400 workers on their pool alone

He also offered to assist DIEM when their dev disappeared even though he has nothing to do with their coin

Gotta take LC's side on this one and this is coming from someone who usually hates everything. Just my opinion as someone who was watching the launch like a hawk. Take it for what its worth

are u willing to eat one of them? xD

name of new .conf is just summer.conf or summercoin.conf? In roaming dir is not SummerCoin but just Summer with new wallet-s

What? You should have all coins you deserve. By the way, difficulty now is lower than at launch, so if you want to mine, now is great time to start. If you have some questions, PM me

I understand the relaunch but what about those who run on Linux? Still will not be fair if there is no git or if it does not compile. That's leaving out quite a few people and don't forget it takes a little time to compile it too.

Look what just arrived! Huge thanks to Provok for his first EQB auction.


Here are some EquestrianBit related news:
- professionally made video is in progress (really professional, not by me)
- Android wallet
- new exchanges

it`s good

At least I have a pretty icon 

The main reason was so we could update without a mandatory update, we will take another look at lower stake times before pushing the update, but for now presume 12 hours and if we can safely do lower it will be a bonus.

just read this update. can you explain why you chose to revise it up from 12h to 5 days as it seems to be quite a large change in terms of a multiple from the original figure? i kinda liked the short staking period in the original coin.

The reason for this change is because we partially forked from code that wasn't quite correct even thought we fully tested it both on testnet and live net, and they made a huge mistake in their code, we have now fixed and updated all that code and added extra.

I am now determined to create and launch CAKE coin...

We will have cake. We must have cake.

moonmoon have you already contacted mintpal and cryptsy about adding PRT ?
