Good job everyone on dominating the Twitter polls. DeepOnion is unstoppable.
Nice to see we beat the ATH today at $12.12.

A blast from the near past... pretty decent value in Jan 2018. But at least we are higher on the list than many coins developed around the time of DeepOnion or 2-3 years prior.
Never did buy into VERGE, fortunately for the bugs in their code allowing such a miner exploit.
Well at any rate, supposedly according to their Twitter feed there was not a
51% attack but rather a miner exploiting a bug in the code that allowed an unfair mining ratio, low dificulty? and spoofed timestamps, allowing them to mine one block every second for 3 hours.
Verge was not very forthcoming with the details, rather tweeting with a brief statement acknowledging only a brief "hash attack" lasting about 3 hours that had been "cleared up now".
