Can you please ask whoever is spamming my xp wallet with transactions of 0.00001 XP every minute to please stop immediately!
All that will happen is I will move coins and split them to a number of different wallets and stake them all day every day if this doesnt stop.
Ive given the community 55 billion coins thats over 100% of the original premine and that's the gratitude I get? Thanks!

BEWARE!!!!!
If you have a large XP wallet you become a target of a proof of stake attack that keeps sending 0.00001 XP every block to try and disable future proof of stake.
I believe this is from Stakeunited that is targeting large wallets of POS coins and using end users via this attack to gain POS block rewards. This is why crypto will end up failing, good one guys!
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xp/block.dws?2137509.htmthis is sad for xp users. is there anyway to prevent this? well good thing a whole was seen to be fix in the future. Hopefully it will be fix before the cryptoboat will sink
Looking at the users promoting this new staking site I'm quite unsure of how safe this new staking site is. Unfortunately I don't have the time to test it though but I just have a really bad feeling about it so I think it's better if all of us on here will just stay away from these staking sites. It's unfortunate that something like this is happening to some of the people in the community, honestly I also read the same story on twitter and on a private telegram group. I really hope the dev could do something about this because this can really hurt the future of xp.
You can see yet more of the same attack here -
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xp/block.dws?2141961.htm It is very clear that there is a vulnerability here that allows "group staking" to provide these people with the ammunition to "stake flood" other wallets and thus become the only wallet that will gain stake rewards. This means that unless you are part of a staking pool your chance of gaining a pos reward is zero and if you have a large wallet it means that you will lose your ability to stake. This goes beyond fair staking by using the power of a staking pool to disable other staking wallets.
It is clear to me that XP will not survive with this kind of behaviour. This is a scripted automated attack that creates a new address and sends low rewards .00001 xp to a wallet so that it will be impossible for the wallet to build up "staking days" and therefore nullifies the ability to gain stake rewards. This is a "devilish devious financial attack" that cannot be stopped if people are using staking pools.
The problem will affect all proof of stake coins. And is an attack that can be used on any wallets should the stakeunited pool target their attack to other wallets. Its similar to a 51% pow attack using mining pools to gain blocks on a pow network.
Effectively this is allowing stakeunited to use your coins collectively to disable other wallets, gain them a percentage of your POS rewards, and allow them to profit from a pos scripted attack - its worth remembering that other people have invested time and money into the network yet there is no evidence that stakeunited have.
Congratulations on killing XP, it was good while it lasted, no one is safe from the scripted POS attack! Looks like POS is dead now too. RIP XP
Stakeunited's pos flood script has disabled the 35 billion coin wallet and therefore has now destroyed the ability for those coins to be handed over to charity. Really very well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
