[ANN]Faircoin - MULTIPOOL PAYS --- 20%--- BONUS! for the next week!!

[eightspaces]

so I heard this is not fair

w00t man

[sussex]

the fixed version is ready!

but i'm a little worried about competing chains once we start updating. if we can have a few people with static ips (or at least open ports) to make a core group we may be able to avoid those competing chains
any volunteers?

What do you think will happen to the exchanges? Does the attacker still has his coins?

Indeed, were both exchanges on the wrong fork? It's possible Poloniex got away scot free, isn't it?

I think the attacker sent 50M coins to NXT-E. He even sold 5M coins for fun (check market history). If the NXT-E admin doesn't cooperate and rollback the transactions (which isn't even possible)...

He possibly sent some over Poloniex too.

There was a 300,000 dump on poloniex too, can't believe it wasn't the same person.

Shit I have dynamic IP. If still can help instruct me why dev.

[fair-cointeam]

Looks like we won't need the static IP, it's connecting pretty well

new windows wallet can be found here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!04ZBxZpD!dAXrkcvMrh_8YnRo3Zh_FhbeWbnHWDIzdLvFAdz0GHM

source code on github is updated

you have 2 options:
*** whatever happens, back up wallet.dat

option 1
update faircoind/faircoin-qt with new version, and run
faircoind -rescan
this will invalidate the corrupt blockchain and rebuild the correct one. this will take a few mintues
please do this option if you can!

option 2
backup wallet.dat
remove all files except wallet.dat and faircoin.conf in FairCoin directory from %appdata% (windows) or ~/.FairCoin (linux)
REPEAT: DO NOT DELETE wallet.dat and faircoin.conf!
update faircoind and faircoin-qt and run normally
this will download the blockchain from a good node. option 1 is preferred for network security

please don't mine if you don't have at least 2-3 connected nodes

So 1st option only require to download the new version without deleting the previous one and run fairocoind?

[pabloangello]

Is this false-positive?

Obviously yes lol

[y3804]

Now we need to contact Busoni and NXT-E

[sussex]

Now we need to contact Busoni and NXT-E

And work out how to stop it happening again, anyone with the hashrate could do this at will.

I have two connections, but it's not downloading the blockchain at all......

[DailyModo]

My coins have gone unconfirmed then they confirmed. but wallet is still showing out of sync.

me too

[Sebastien256]

I think the instruction for option 1 are not clear enough.

[SoulEater]

you dont know if those 5 million faircoins where from one guy. i was there trading, i buy and re-sell at higher price instantly.

at poloniex and btc-e. at btc-e the volume vent upp to 5 million when the bitcoin now dropped like hell and people panic to sell their faircoins. and how can we know this was just one guy when i see a bounch of small trades at all asking and selling prices. the price vent slowly down. now its like 1000% lower as usual. people buy it.

also my wallet is syncing just fine? i didnt download new one, is that what i should do?

right now IRS and China is bringing down alot of websites that trades bitcoins and exchanges it. and poloniex is in new york -.-

me too

For me also, used second option.

[fair-cointeam]

I want to clarify about the attack:
new coins are fragile
this trick is now much much harder to pull (theorically no coin is safe)
also pos block start being generated in a few days, and we'll add more checkpoints every few days until then

[pabloangello]

FAC dissapeared from nxt-e. Looks like owner was informed and reacted.
