Network Attack on XVG / VERGE

[miserymachine]

Exploit is being abused rapidly right now. Anyone can check the block explorer to verify.

Wow.

What's happen on Zpool? Second 51 % attack???

[Ghrand]

Damn, I knew I should have posted earlier in this legendary train wreck thread. I'm not sure why people bought XVG to begin with - the devs failed to deliver several times in the past, now cut and paste 3 year old code (with the original typo even) in the failed fix, and generally use the worst public image possible rather than having an honest discussion.  One group owns all the blocks in the network but ehh, lets deal with it later, right?

It seems to be also happening on Suprnova, again, rightnow my miners are just blazingly fast moving through blocks, no shares are being submitted.

yeah pools are still finding blocks, and this wont be an issue anymore shortly. we will be pushing an update and contacting all pool admins.

also, to clarify, this isn't a hack, it's an exploit/attack on mining, and will be resolved very soon. of course i'm calm, this happens in crypto all the time.

how much eth has been stolen this year? this is insignificant in contrast.

Just how long is "very soon"?? Do you realize that by not fixing this immediatley you are basically letting people use the exploit to get free XVG, right?  I strongly recommend that you check your attitude about the whole thing before you turn it all into a huge PR shitfest.

51% hacker still going on.
https://verge-blockchain.info/
at least more 300 blocks exploited. 500k coins at least gone
--EDIT--
DEV and Mods of DISCORD said coins were not able to leave hackers wallet. Although I can check here that 3120 Verge left one of the wallets ALREADY and probably to a exchange. I also checked other addresses that show coins from the exploit that have been addressed to possible exchanges.

Now look at it (03:31:59 UTC) . .  Entire network looks overrun. Of course, this was probably expected and obvious was going to happen.

Why would they care. 75 million xvg crowd fund and this attack buys a bunch of islands.....

[deke997]

The attack is still going.. 1 block every second.. just look at the block explorer

[ron1989]

looks like binance xvg deposits have been suspended

Your best to read through the whole post to get a good understanding of what has happened.

On another note, this is hardly the first crypto to be hit like this and most probably won't be the last..... don't really see why people are freaking out so badly.... shit happens like this all the time.... Welcome to crypto.

Stop being so nonchalant. You're behaving like Sunerok. It's actually quite a big deal.
