There's currently a >51% attack going on on XVG which exploits a bug in retargeting in the XVG code.

Usually to successfully mine XVG blocks, every "next" block must be of a different algo.. so for example scrypt,then x17, then lyra etc.

Due to several bugs in the XVG code, you can exploit this feature by mining blocks with a spoofed timestamp. When you submit a mined block (as a malicious miner or pool) you simply
set a false timestamp to this block one hour ago and XVG will then "think" the last block mined on that algo was one hour ago.. Your next block, the subsequent block
will then have the correct time.. And since it's already an hour ago (at least that is what the network thinks) it will allow this block to be added to the main chain as well.

This is what is going on since about 06:00 UTC of 04.04.2018:

As you can see in the text above, those blocks are all subsequent, so one miner gets them all and you see there's 90 min difference between all the blocks, thats one bug the miner is
exploiting. You also see the correct time is the latter time.. so the last block ended on 13:51:06 and the block before was 12:17:47 and the block with the correct time before that one
was at 13:51:05 .. That means the hacker is mining one block per second !

The vergeDEV @ Discord says "everything is okay - there's nothing to fix"..

Since about 99% blocks by legit pools are rejected - and the dev team is not able to understand this problem, i'm closing and removing all VERGE pools from suprnova.



If this is the case, XVG is done.
Big pools are bowing out because of an exploit and the dev team doesn't think there is a problem?

dev team actually already working on a fix.

  (and i think finished already)

   3 hrs of some orphans i think it was.  not sure exactly.
some say 3, others more. dont know exactly how long.

and several pools are already up and mining again.
diff was low for a bit, now heading up again.

In the neighborhood of ~363k. Minor compared to the total float (~0.0025%), but the significance is that this happened at all.

to prevent more fake news:

(sumup of tweet)
We had a small hash attack that lasted about 3 hours earlier this morning, it's been cleared up now. We will be implementing even more redundancy checks for things of this nature in the future!

More fake news? Are you implying this was fake news? What a joke.
Someone presents a major flaw in your code that led to an attack, in fact presents irrevocable evidence in a sound and thoughtful manner and you throw out the term fake news? Please explain what portion of this is fake news...

There's currently a >51% attack going on on XVG which exploits a bug in retargeting in the XVG code.

Usually to successfully mine XVG blocks, every "next" block must be of a different algo.. so for example scrypt,then x17, then lyra etc.

Due to several bugs in the XVG code, you can exploit this feature by mining blocks with a spoofed timestamp. When you submit a mined block (as a malicious miner or pool) you simply
set a false timestamp to this block one hour ago and XVG will then "think" the last block mined on that algo was one hour ago.. Your next block, the subsequent block
will then have the correct time.. And since it's already an hour ago (at least that is what the network thinks) it will allow this block to be added to the main chain as well.

This is what is going on since about 06:00 UTC of 04.04.2018:

As you can see in the text above, those blocks are all subsequent, so one miner gets them all and you see there's 90 min difference between all the blocks, thats one bug the miner is
exploiting. You also see the correct time is the latter time.. so the last block ended on 13:51:06 and the block before was 12:17:47 and the block with the correct time before that one
was at 13:51:05 .. That means the hacker is mining one block per second !

The vergeDEV @ Discord says "everything is okay - there's nothing to fix"..

Since about 99% blocks by legit pools are rejected - and the dev team is not able to understand this problem, i'm closing and removing all VERGE pools from suprnova.



If this is the case, XVG is done.
Big pools are bowing out because of an exploit and the dev team doesn't think there is a problem?

Relax, it's already being dealt with. Nobody is "done", crap like this happens quite often and the Devs responded.

We had a small hash attack that lasted about 3 hours earlier this morning, it's been cleared up now. We will be implementing even more redundancy checks for things of this nature in the future!

https://twitter.com/vergecurrency/status/981578693062610950

opened that twitter message and saw that there are several compensations for the attack. Sent 1.8 Eth to it in hope to get some compensation but now i think it is a scam.

Anybody any idea if its real or a scam and if it is a scam how to get the ETH back?  Undecided

Those scam links aren't "tolerated"... instead, they're like cockroaches that you can spray and spray and keep spraying and they keep coming back. I, personally, have reported at least 50 of the damned things in the last two weeks.

But PLEASE... for the love of all that's holy... STOP FALLING FOR THEM. If anything sounds too good to be true, IT IS.

Why on earth would Verge initiate a compensation program that involved people sending them Ethereum in order to get more Ethereum back? If you're not going to examine the twitter name close enough to see that it's an obvious fake, at least use a little common sense.

Look, i'am well aware of all kind of scams, at least i thought so.

However, maybe my problem here is that i'am not a twitter guy and only once or twice per week read some twitter tweet, nothing else, so absolutly unexperienced in twitter.

BUT, in an official Verge Tweet with about 80 replies and 40 of them either scams or fake accounts that say they got the ETH back seems just wrong to me.
If this was someone else profil, ok, if it was at a whole fake Verge twitter account, ok, but having 50% fake and scam messages on an official VERGE announcement is not right.
An official Twitter profil has to be clean, easy as that!!!

And here now i absolutly begin to realize why twitter is banning crypto things. They must get shitloads of complaints. I got a victim as an very experienced internet user, whats
left for the the guy that has not much of an idea.

Meanwhile that scam account on that Verge twitter account has made aboout 10 Eth so far and Eths are continue to roll in, nothing that i allready posted there that someone should
remove these scams.

For these 2 reasons:
1.) It is a scam on the offical Verge page, not just on some fake profil or similar
2.) Because it fitted. The scam wrote: To compensate for the attack .... we give giveaways. As all my Baikals had for about 3 hours only Orphaned blocks it seemed legit that XVG gives some compensation out.

Of course i know better know, but it still makes me angry that there are 10s of scams tolerated on an official Verge Tweet, this should not be like that, easy as that.
