[ANN] DERO: DAG + Cryptonote + Bulletproofs + SSL + POW + Smart Contracts

[Shai0Hulud]

Too late to the party. I wondered why my recovered wallet shows zero balance.

Thanx for nothing.

EDIT: I thought about starting to mine DERO again. No. Sorry, but not sorry. I deleted any DERO files. F*** them Devs.

There was : official forum, a mailing list, a twitter account to follow, but you missed the swap?

 

A snapshot of the last blockchain was stored, I think you can still swap but be patient.

Mailing list? What is this, the 90's?
And who reads crypto twits anyways... What was so wrong with listing it here?
Clearly no one from the team is poking their head in here to say yes or no to the swap question.

[b9ron]

I heard about good news for people who missed the swap session, stay tuned.

returning in 2023, the project has come a long way

Good Morning

As of April 15th, 2024, the Stargate coins from the Atlantis swap will be burned. Any pending swaps will be completed before the burn and no further requests to swap coins will be accepted. It is far past the deadline window and many courtesy requests for late swaps have been granted already.

Any requests to swap after this time will be rejected so, please take the necessary steps to ensure that your DERO Coins are on the Stargate chain and not Atlantis.

Thanks

Any latest development news on DERO? Has the bug been fixed or not? Is the Captain alive or this project is dead after all?

[MMOStars]

Think after Kucoin delisting can be considered dead. Doubt anyone is gonna put their money were their mouth is to pay for other listings out of their pocket as currently exchanges don't really do free listings for non big projects.

Is it over? Or is he the next Satoshi Nakamoto?

All transactions on DERO blockchain have been deanonymized!

After a YEAR of effort, we've also finally launched the complete public explorer.

There is critical inflation exploit on DERO, still unfixed!

$8.34M was verifiably exfiltrated - evidence suggests founder Captain is behind it.

Below are few facts from the report:


The Technical Exploit

On October 17, 2022, someone exploited DERO's protocol by creating a transaction with negative transfer amounts, effectively generating 2.2M DERO from nothing. The exploit occurred in transaction

Code:

5bbe1b7eecfe3447cb045b1197a07a214b456968eda8a3d5a90f5fae9ce57e55

where the "sender" actually received the tokens instead of sending them due to faulty validation. You can verify this yourself using proof string

Code:

deroproof1qyyj0cgu3htmkumr79sgca75vwsx8kx7zkrjg0nfez46w36qyx4kwq9zvfyyskpqvdpcfhkhk4m7y9d77ehyj7yhnnrv9z0tjr9m5fqe2yx9t27dwtdxy4j4r0llll7vcmaxwjcl8jzfq

on the official DERO explorer. The shown value is large positive uint64 number corresponding to the negative -220000000181 amount that was sent.

The Money Laundering

Over 21 months, the perpetrator systematically laundered 95.9% of the stolen funds (2.1M DERO) through 781 separate transactions using 242 different exchange accounts across TradeOgre and Kucoin. The operation used sophisticated patterns with average deposit sizes around 10,000 DERO to stay below detection thresholds, with each account used only 1-5 times to avoid suspicion, while maintaining consistent metadata proving single-actor control.
