anybody else having problems syncing?
my wallet got stuck on block 1104718
My wallet doesn't sync either. Stuck on block 1104929 but the official explorer is only on block 1104839. Another explorer is on block 1103564, see here:
http://onionexplorer.youngwebsolutions.com:3001/ So it seems the chain has forked.
Some pools also have a very high hashrate from time to time, like e.g.
https://onionpool.youngwebsolutions.com/ and over 50% of the overall hashrate which of course increases the likelihood of a fork or even a 51% attack. Onion hashrate distribution can be seen here btw:
https://miningpoolstats.stream/deeponionBut the concentration of the hashrate is nothing new and a very frequent problem.
DeepOnion is not susceptible to 51% attack because it's a hybrid PoW/PoS crypto. In order to pull a 51% attack, an attacker must gain control of both (at least 51% hashrate and at least 51% of the distributed ONION coins) which is next to impossible after the public distribution airdrop.
Currently the devs are looking into the out of sync error.
Yeah, that's true. I just referred to the POW Hashrate, so my fault. So yeah for a 51% attack the attacker would need at least 50% of the distributed coins too.
But nevertheless a chain split can still occur.
I tried to reindex my wallet now and changed the nodes in my conf file to the official nodes only but I'm still stuck on block 1104929, so above the official explorer.
