o noes bitcoin is down a fair chunk. @wildshark does that mean ion lost a lot of value since exchanges use usd or is ion now being rated by satoshi until btc rises again? @korvas maybe you can chime in too since you insist on using usd too.

@o0o0 I'm having a hard time with figuring out what question you ask me. The Bitcoin coin being down effects the satoshi rate for all alt coins (ION coin) that are being valued at the Bittrex exchange. At the Coinbase exchange the Bitcoin is being valued with dollars... This will change when BTC balloon bursts, the exchanges will support use of ETH for the value to compare. Coinbase exchange all ready supports the market with ETH/USD trading. See the chart below for the Bitcoin down a fair chunk.

ETH dropped more than BTC today... larger "balloon", larger drop.

Now tell us why Bittrex disabled the ION wallet. Could that have something to do with this latest "moar coining" fuckup?

Here is an interesting node:

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ion/address.dws?ipstNyLXmTeUL8mrbrEm3T2SJHaDACMSbh.htm

Extremely lucky it seems... one thing I noticed is the out-of-order timestamps.

Some others like that:

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ion/address.dws?icDiiVXie5t9wTEkE3YeGeMuGNocAjxz7Q.htm
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ion/address.dws?iiZGYodMh8dRW2tdsN2LRcjfu5VbXxzYEy.htm

Appear to be significantly more lucky than other nodes during the same time period. But I'm sure the crack team of ION developers have all the data at their disposal and will get to the bottom of this.



























j/k of course, they'll just come up with some bullshit excuse as usual.

[pcminerx]

Nice catch! Also, someone is moving the 20k from one address to the other, creating a new master node.

Probably trying to avoid detection although the address is very clearly at the top of the staking list, nowhere to hide:

So a single 20k node is getting more rewards than any other node, even more than the two multimillion bounty addresses. Looks like an exploit of some sort. The only other explanation I can think of is that the block explorer is borked and this is some kind of optical illusion...

[suchmoon]

One masternode has receive 21% of the last 100 blocks, am I reading that right? That doesn't look too good.

Edit: Oh, never mind. The number 1 on the rich list got 21.2% of the last 1000 blocks. That means they got 210+ blocks today. I'd say that's a tad more than luck, just an opinion though. The top 2 on the rich list got ~40% of the last 1000 blocks. Wonder how the Ionites feel about that? I'd guess they are excited about that...that the team may more than likely getting even moar free coins.

Your first conclusion was correct too... out of the last 100 blocks (at the time of the screenshot) one address that had 0.1% of the total coin supply (20k) received 21% of rewards. The only reason it's not showing a high percentage under 1000 blocks is that they keep moving the coins every few hours.

Current one is https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ion/address.dws?iWyAM4KwHun9xDSnWa2qT7Lapr1CxLwHLL.htm - 3% of rewards, which by itself isn't too horrible (could be variance) but when you track the coins and find out that those coins have been earning way above average for hours or even days - doesn't seem right.

As for the "team" - they likely get ~75% since that's their share of the ICO.

[o0o0]

so ion 3.0 soon? not transfercoin this time?

would be funny if bittrex is onto it and delist

Bittrex probably doesn't give a shit. Although they did disable the wallet but it's "at dev request", so presumably they will re-enable it if the "team" submits a new clone or some other kind of remedy.

Huey said on slack that an update is being tested but that could mean it's hours or months away.

Meanwhile the hyperstaking address is back at it: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ion/address.dws?iWyAM4KwHun9xDSnWa2qT7Lapr1CxLwHLL.htm

IP: 45.76.96.108


I guess everybody's so excited with extra coins that they forgot to play Gravity... only 17 players this week, 16 really because that last one probably just started and quit immediately:

before I laugh at these imbeciles again: is it more likely that someone orchestrated an attack vs just a randomly occurring bug?
knowing these jokers it will take weeks to fix and they end up rolling back the chain


ok, let the laughing commence
inflation is on par with Venezuela. the economy is awesome there!

I thought it's a bug until I saw that address that defies my (admittedly limited) knowledge of probability.

It looks like they - whoever that is - don't even hide anymore: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ion/address.dws?iWyAM4KwHun9xDSnWa2qT7Lapr1CxLwHLL.htm

140% staked in ~12 hours or so. 28k coins from a single masternode. The average for a typical masternode would be is ~300 coins during the same period, or ~30 coins on a normal day.

Difficulty has completed flatlined now.

11k blocks, 1400 orphans, 200k new coins in just over 14 hours today. Usual numbers are 1240, 50, 21k per 24 hours.

[kozak.finance]

Hello, ppl!

Are there any releases on ION?

@suchmoon You could always ask the team on Ionomy Slack "what the details of this defect are from a "unbiased" source?" Is it a bug or an attack or the team setting the stage for a big pump or scheduled upgrade of the wallet that has been moved forward I have confidence in Huey that the team will get a handle on this defect and implement a solution ASAP when all the facts are in...

[ThePointlessOne]

According to Slack communications the team knows yet they haven't said anything about the issue other than they will announce something "soon". It's completely useless to go into Slack.

Edit: WildShill, please thoroughly think through your post before submitting it. I am tired of looking back at your post only to see it has been edited 4-5 times from its original state.

[CryptoBuds]

WildShill, YOU could always ask on the Ionomy Slack channel. But you don't care, you're getting more free coins.

[suchmoon]

@suchmoon You could always ask the team on Ionomy Slack "what the details of this defect are from a "unbiased" source? Is it a bug or an attack or the team setting the stage for a big pump or scheduled upgrade of the wallet

Why don't you ask and report back. This "go ask on slack" meme is getting old. Nobody's saying shit there:

[suchmoon]

Sharkie, it's been more than a week since the issue started. Your confidence is misplaced. The "facts" better come in 20 leather-bound volumes, otherwise I can't see what they were doing all this time.

Speaking of facts, these blocks are funny:

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ion/block.dws?189483.htm
Timestamp: 1497625600
Previous block timestamp: 1497629456 (more than an hour LATER although the actual time between blocks was just a few seconds)
Next block timestamp: 1497629456 (same as two blocks ago)

Edit for readability - block timestamps go like this: 9456 --> 5600 (block number 189483) --> 9456, where 9456 is the ~ correct time. I can't think of any good reason why that middle block would have a timestamp of an hour ago. And of course it's "mined" by that super-lucky masternode, so there's that.

I'm guessing this nonsense has something to do with fucking up the difficulty adjustments. Typically there are time drift restrictions in the code, AFAIK BTC checks the average timestamps of previous blocks as well as time reported by connected nodes but it only adjusts difficulty every 2016 blocks so any timestamp manipulation would be quite pointless. ION adjusts every block.

Then why would you tell people to go ask in Slack if this is the case?

[CryptoBuds]

Because he is an ignorant shill. Hoping that other people will see it and join them on slack instead of read through this thread. Smoke and mirrors, the GAW - Paycoin - now ION way.

[pcminerx]

Yeah looks like an exploit.
