The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

I doubt it. coins without any blockchain survive and do quite well, especially if nobody is actually using the blockchain for anything other than trading it

Not a big deal as the profitability of mining it is around 11k sats from a GTX1060 and that doesn't even refund the cost of electricity as BTC got down to $6700 but as some dude has linked me to the thread I know now that there was some attack. Probably it's time to buy cheap or something but I an't got no Ke$h. Stoopid Coinsmarkets stole it all

This is hilarious, I still don't know why this coin has any support at all - it is totally worthless.

OMG!!!! First good try of 51% attack!
Is it really the first one ? It is proof of concept it seems but in these early days of CC i'd be fine with a small rollback a timely patch and a lesson learned. Its not like CC's are the only thing beeing hacked these days.. what'd you expect with boxes full of $$'s. More coffee and less pr0n for the devs though. And THX OCminer, i learned some more today. PS. Isn't noone happy that this wasn't a buyin 51% attack ? Could have killed a 100 coins with that.

I really don't see how changing drift from 2 hours to 15 mins is a good solution for the issue.

Looks like 2 * 15 sec, not 15 minutes.
Very funny. Are there some sort of code review in Verge?

What "not up to standard" probably means is that "they called us out on our shit code and we don't like it so we're not going to go public with it"

I'm amazed at how bad the Devs have handled this important situation. Probs to OCMiner for letting us know about the hack/exploit

Am I right in assuming that:
The network will see the longest chain in the network with sufficient nodes as the correct one, thereby validating the low difficulty blocks on the longest chain? That would mean that the attacker has to have a lot of full nodes up and running, with which he/she privately mines.

if just one node gets the attacker's longest chain, then it should propagate to all the other nodes. depending on the nature of the exploit, it is possible attacker doesnt have any large hashrate and is just using a single node to broadcast the blocks into the network

The most important thing is to fix it now. We can't change the past but we can change the future.
