When i ping dgex.com i get IP address 200.35.149.26

When i enter that IP address as URL in my browser i get the homepage of http://dunecom.com/
Is this an indication dgex is hacked 

Could someone try the same and confirm?

An nslookup gives me the same IP, I assume it's the hosting company they use

Question on forging:

Say I have 100K Nxt. One simple case is to forge to get tx fee in a single account, and the other case is to distribute those 100K Nxt into 5 account with each one 20K Nxt and forge with those 5 account at the same time. So do they have exactly the same probability for forging for a block?

Yes.

the advantage is unattended operation.  if you are running all on 1 account, then if you are gone and the client goes whacko crash or runs on the wrong chain or just locks on a block, you 100% stop.  by spreading the account todifferent balances and forging on different machines for each balance, then you have a measure of redundancy.

Is there a way to verify?

Has anyone taken a look at the ip addresses of the attackers? Are they hiding behind TOR?

Some of them were hosted in universities.

Just several websites on the same IP, it's ok, technically

That's good to know, pretty sure that would be against the terms of use of university resource.

edumacated kids with loads of free time + High bandwidth provided by uni's + high potency cannabis/alcohol/nose-candy = attack Nxt? Sounds about right.

Something strange happened last night. My Nxt balance started to decrease steadily by 2 coins every few minutes. I thought my account had been hacked! I was running wallet 0.4.5. I then transferred the remaining coins to a new address, and the wallet started showing negative balances. I then updated to 0.4.7a and my coins were back again (minus the transaction fees, as I did several transactions).

Things like that are not supposed to happen. Perhaps I was on a forked, fake chain?

Sorry, if you have no immagination for this I can't help you. But I don't want to spam, so I suggest something -> KeePass.

edumacated kids with loads of high potency cannabis

Seems legit. I had unusual network loads earlier today from somewhere in Amsterdam

Add a node from every nxtbase region?

node1.nxtbase.com; node11.nxtbase.com; node21.nxtbase.com; node31.nxtbase.com; node41.nxtbase.com; node51.nxtbase.com; node61.nxtbase.com; node71.nxtbase.com; node81.nxtbase.com; node91.nxtbase.com;

These just went into the server list for The Update Script.

Adding well know peers in your web.xml increase your chances to be on real main blockchain at any moment

Instructions:
1- Close your java process (if it's running)
2- Go to the following directory nxt/webapps/root/WEB-INF/
3- Open web.xml with a text editor
4- find this line:

Code:

<param-name>wellKnownPeers</param-name>

5- into the following lane copy/paste the easyCopyString between <param-value>HERE</param-value>
6- it will looks like:

Code:

<param-name>wellKnownPeers</param-name>
<param-value>87.230.14.1; 46.19.137.116; 95.85.22.142; 162.243.214.183; scum2.bounceme.net; 162.243.213.115; node11.nxtbase.com; 78.46.63.221; scum5.bounceme.net; scum4.bounceme.net; vps5.nxtcrypto.org; node16.nxtbase.com; scum.bounceme.net; scum2.bounceme.net; scum5.bounceme.net; scum6.bounceme.net</param-value>

7- save
8- restart next java process

UPDATED easyCopyString:
162.243.214.68; 95.85.46.164; 162.243.216.55; 162.243.143.15; 95.85.46.249; 93.190.92.74; 37.209.120.192; 93.190.92.75; 85.25.134.59; 93.190.92.76; vps1.nxtcrypto.org;  vps2.nxtcrypto.org;  vps3.nxtcrypto.org;  vps4.nxtcrypto.org;  vps5.nxtcrypto.org; nxtwallet.com; 31.220.50.208; nxt.ddos.me; 203.174.12.25; 88.198.142.92; 66.197.138.90; 64.120.180.106; 109.230.224.65; 80.86.92.50; node1.nextcoin.it; node2.nextcoin.it; node3.nextcoin.it; node4.nextcoin.it; node5.nextcoin.it; nxt.homer.ru; 31.204.130.123; 209.222.0.194; 209.222.16.10; node1.nxtbase.com; node11.nxtbase.com; node21.nxtbase.com; node31.nxtbase.com; node41.nxtbase.com; node51.nxtbase.com; node61.nxtbase.com; node71.nxtbase.com; node81.nxtbase.com; node91.nxtbase.com; 85.214.222.82;

Vps Owners: keep updated the easycopystring adding your nodes!!!!

What they don't realise is that they are making NXT much stronger.

You need to sleep once per 24h. Do it for NXT.

@dgex.com:
"DGEX is performing server migration. Trading should be online by 11:00 PM GMT. Thank you for your patience. (Flush your DNS to access the new server sooner)."

Ah, that long?

[ZeroTheGreat]

ZeroTheGreat, remember that those are upper bounds on forge time.

A wallet that is unlocked 24/7 on an always up-to-date server will forge a block more often, because of the large portion of all NXT currently in locked accounts, lagging/stuck nodes (temporary phenomenon atm, though) etc.

No, that feature postponed. If 900M locked, 100M now'll forge like 100M. Later we'll have to say "200k unfrozen equivalent coins", and full amount can be any. Multiplier unthinkable now.

Yeah, it's simply stupid to DDoS the exchange, users can't even panic sell, they are stuck with their coins, even if they wanted to give it all up and sell, they can't
