The timestamp of the blocks are everywhere...lower blockheight have future time than higher block height, and the blocks 2042605,2042606 as well as 2042607~2042609 all have 1s difference...sure it's fixed? Dev said on vergecurrency reddit that "drifts are allowed. blocks are moving on time, and all different algos. the attack was only scrypt blocks, with a difficulty of 0.001" 9 blocks in around 2 minutes. Is that okay...? And lots of blocks 1 second away from each other.

The timers are allowed to drift, as you can see here: http://antminepool.com/explorer/XVGBthings look great. as you can see here, from the attack, they did not look so great: http://antminepool.com/explorer/XVGB?start=2030000you need to look at the difficulty the blocks are being mined with, they use to be 0.001 and now they are correct. no longer exploited so the fork has worked and it fixed the exploit. After the update went out to the pools and exchanges at block 2040000 you will see that the exploit is no longer working. http://antminepool.com/explorer/XVGB?start=2040000the fork has been successfully completed at block 2042000 but if you check the blockchain one can tell that no more blocks have been mined using the exploit from 2040000 onward. http://antminepool.com/explorer/XVGB?start=2040000if you were to assume that all the block from when the attack started at block 2021000 up to block 2040000 that would mean 19000 blocks have been mined using the exploit. 19000 * 1560 (block reward size) = 29640000 XVG maximum that could have been mined. Again this assumed that all blocks were stolen which isn't the case. Hopefully this answers some of your questions, as for what happens to the addresses where all these exploited blocks went to....we will have to wait for the official update from the verge team. As i understand it some addresses might have been blocked with the exchanges and possibly as part of the fork. (don't quote me on this)

When does the Suprnova Pool start again with myriad-groestl? There are only bad pools to dismantle suprnova pool was good. The pool http://xvg-mg.idcray.com/ is constantly out of order. Can anyone happen to tell the port for the Baikal Gaint X10 via the http://xvg-mg.idcray.com/ pool with the correct difficulty. Hope Suprnova will be back online soon

The problems are already solved where is the problem now. Can someone say the settings for the other pool for an X10 Miner difficulty port? ??

Problem was that he was spoofing the blocks and manage to lower their diff to almost 0 as you can see in this pic http://prntscr.com/j2gj3a. He started to exploit at block 2010040 and mined until around block 2038300 so around 28k blocks 43.6 million verge and not the ridiculous numbers that people where mentioning. Now if you check http://antminepool.com/explorer/XVGB you can see that Diff as normalized it was actually already normal since block 2038300 around that. Either way the exploit is over and hopefully wont happen again. Let this be an example for other coins out there that i know they have the same issue and at least 1 of them is above Verge in marketcap. Cheers

Not surprised after how xvg dev reacted.

Out of curiousity as i'am not a pool owner, but only a trader, miner and holder.
How did this attack effect the XVG pools?
For us miners its clear that we lost all the orphaned blocks we mined in this time. How is it for the pools? Is it like they pay for nodes/blocks and lost all these from the attack?
Seriously, never looked further how the pool thingie, nodes and blocks actually work on the pool side.

We lost $12,800 plus an unknown opportunity cost that I estimate around $50,000 as a result of this issue. It affected the pool because our pay-per-share rates are calculated using, in addition to coinbase value, transaction fees, and orphan rate, the difficulty. Shares were worth hundreds of dollars during that time and the orphan rate was 100%. We had to exercise our policy of paying customers LTC + 15% during the 4 hours we earned nothing, which amounted to $12,000 in losses, plus about $300 in salaries answering 150 support tickets about the issue, plus about $500 in developer time spent addressing the problem instead of preparing for the upgrades to our servers this weekend. There was also a large opportunity cost caused by the negative publicity of exercising our LTC + 15% policy, and we now have about 10% fewer customers than we did before the Verge incident. I'd estimate the lost profit by the bad publicity will be around $50,000 over the lifetime of the pool. It's not surprising that pools aren't mining Verge anymore. This is probably the worst thing to happen to us since Cryptsy's theft. We were 17% of the Verge network before this happened. As to the issue being "fixed," I hope people can understand our reluctance to mine this coin again. We'll reevaluate in a few weeks or in May if there are no issues. so honest pool operators get shafted while the "hacker" has been rewarded with millions of coins. Lovely.

Lovely.
Seems like pool operators and most miners suffered the most on this. The hacker(s) and Verge seem to be fine Too bad when a given company/product/project forgets about their backbone .....
