Another 51% attack has been going on since this morning, and only 2 or 3 comments about it.. Too bad we can't short XVG on Bitfinex yet. This is a true shitcoin. When hardfork dev??  it's not really a 51%, more a old bug that gets exploited again with a slightly modified method the 2nd time after nobody fixed it properbly .... Maybe people have send warnings that the last bug fix doesn't fix the issue instantly .... Seems they have been right. So far 35M XVG stollen worth 1.7M USD ...... Deja vu, Deja vu

Since nothing really was done about the previous attacks (only a band-aid), the attackers now simply use two algos to fork the chain for their own use and are gaining millions:  Both algos, scrypt and lyra2re can be rented easily for a few bucks at nicehash, they simply send one block scrypt, after that a block lyra2re and so on and all with manipulated timestamps thus lowering diff to lowest possible mining several blocks per minute like this Another timewarp / modified vector attack. Official block explorer is back online, with a much higher blockheight. 2.205.900 is one of the last blocks from the attacker. Roughly 50.000 blocks were possibly mined. It appears the attack is over, 35 million XVG were generated in a a couple of hours. Official response is "mining pools were DDossed".

Official response is "mining pools were DDossed".  That's even more annoying... Verge Devs should be well aware what it is after it occured allready some weeks back..... This coin had really a good chance, but with such coding and nonstop multi million expolits i have my doubts it will go anywhere near where we hoped it will get.

Not the first coin to be attacked and won't be the last, this too shall pass... I do agree they need to find a real defense against this "time warp" method.

Hardly. Your comment indicates a lack of knowledge on your part. This attack is rather sophisticated and considering all the mining algos Verge uses, difficult to defend against. Hopefully, this time, the Devs will take this more seriously.

LMAO true verge shill It's an observation sir, if you been in crypto long enough you'd see it too so hacked or attacked or someshit like that will lead us to another pump ? it is very LOGICAL. seems like you invested a lot on this buddy ? so you can not see it clearly what is going on in front of you and what will happens with it ? you need to take something called 'rest',it is really good for your body and mind or take a break from cryptosphere for a while. p.s : i am very serious about that buddy

True, but maybe the only coin the got hacked/exploited 2 times with the same method within 1 month .....
