"52.24 Professionally produced infographic of darksend, reference: http://imgur.com/GXPvNgn" Sorry but that does not look professionally produced. Bounty should not have been granted. Judgement of bounty owner is critical here and seems poor. Shutterstock images that weren't paid for? Sorry LimLims, I see that was just a mockup, LOL

The kgw exploit is real.
The problem is that the software will accept blocks that are timestamped earlier than previous blocks, (for good reasons) up to the median timestamp of the previous 11.
Kgw counts these as very fast blocks and adjusts the difficulty up by its 20% maximum. Once. But you can use that once to roll the timestamp back after five blocks that are long enough to drive the difficulty 20%lower each.
So the exploit is to start mining your own block chain, time stamping several blocks into the future far enough to get the maximum downward adjustment of difficulty each time. Then jump backwards in time getting the maximum upward difficulty once. Rinse, repeat, and your chain gets ridiculous low difficulty and you mine a whole lot of blocks while advancing your timestamp not much further than the main chain.
When the time in the main block chain catches up, you release your own chain and force a reorganization, which allocates to you all the coins mined for the last umpty ump blocks.
I'm in the process of rewriting KGW for our purposes. I've spend a few hours thoroughly going through the code and I think I can come up with a better implementation that doesn't have these kind of problems.

Good one, has anyone said Dark Star yet? LOL Ach, can't use dark star, it's the same initials as darksend DS So I like above, I like Dark Gate as it implies shutting the gate on naughty people, LOL

It isn't even out yet guys! But one thing is for sure , you have to pay respect to KGW. it has to have gravity or well in it. DGW or DW are logical and easily recognizeable. You can make a direct comparison and tell people about the improvements. People will know it's an enhanced version of KGW, developed by the darkcoin developer and will announce their thread with "Now with DGW". Dark Gravity Well.

I'd like to thank eduffield and the other developers for this critically important evolution in virtual currency. DarkCoin is what bitcoin should have been. Some might call it "Bitcoin 2.0" but would do better by saying: "DarkCoin is digital cash." - Child Harold - February 28, 2014 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg5424980#msg5424980

How about DarkGravityWave? People would say DGW or KGW, DGW the one that came from Darkcoin. People would also already know what it did when they say DGW possibly. Also it makes sense because the algorithm we're going to use models a wave. It'll smoothly osculate till it finds equilibrium with the current hashrate.

Wow, you read my mind! ha +1 on DGW, because you can also call it Duffield Gravity Well for bonus points. I think a lot of people lost sight of Megacoin when they discuss KGW . . because it's easy to separate the two. That won't happen here with the abbreviation DGW . . dual purpose Dark Gravity Well or Duffield Gravity Well.
