[ANN][AC]AsiaCoin - Relaunch

[micryon]

Hey guys,

I decided to fine comb through the code (diff'd this with Cinni).. and also as a side benefit: double check my Cinni investment  Good news is .. Cinni looks good.

For learning purposes, I found the other 4 changes in the code that allowed the scam to happen.  Now the RPC section can be uncommented out.. but the other areas are in key block accept sections of the code.  So they cannot be commented out without a deeper workaround (else this client won't even work).

Something else i noticed.. the pushed client code which was recovered DOESN'T have DNS seed and/or pnSeed in the code.. so I don't know how the client could have found peers initially.

It may be that the compiled code has those seed IP addresses, while the pushed github code didn't.. so if a hacker is brave enough to debug the binary directly (or alternatively this might even be in the debug logs themselves on a fresh client with no peers.dat), you may be able to find the IP addresses of the scammer's seed nodes.. and then work backwards from there.. Now he may have hid that as well , but the fact that he removed it from the src code seems to suggest that he is afraid of letting those out in the open... or it could mean he is just really diligent in covering his tracks..

https://github.com/micryon/AsiaCoinFix/blob/master/src/net.cpp#L1221

Code:

unsigned int pnSeed[] =
{
};

Anyways, I highlighted all the SCAM changes that in the source code obfuscated the gigantic premine.. it really wasn't much.  It wasn't all that sophisticated.. I think the guy must have just premined a bunch of coins.  Reverted the coded premine.  Ran it again with the same blockchain, and found where accepts failed, and then patched those up.

Just look at all the places where I marked "//SCAM"

https://github.com/micryon/AsiaCoinFix/search?q=SCAM&ref=cmdform

Code:

 src/main.h

static const int64 MAX_MINT_PROOF_OF_STAKE = 0.10 * COIN;	// 10% annual interest

static const int64 MIN_SUPPLY = 1; //SCAM

static const int64 MIN_STAGE_AMOUNT = 10; //SCAM



src/bitcoinrpc.cpp

/*if(amount<=0 || amount >= MAX_TX_FEE * COIN) //SCAM

{

amount = ( amount % (MAX_TX_FEE * COIN ) );

}*/

return (double)amount / (double)COIN;


src/main.cpp

if (txout.nValue > MAX_MONEY * MIN_STAGE_AMOUNT) //SCAM

return DoS(100, error("CTransaction::CheckTransaction() : txout.nValue too high"));

... 	
 

prevHash = pindex->pprev->GetBlockHash();

// printf("==> Got prevHash = %s\n", prevHash.ToString().c_str());

}

//SCAM

if (vtx[0].GetValueOut() > GetProofOfWorkReward(pindex->nHeight, nFees) && pindex->nHeight != MIN_SUPPLY)

In retrospect, this could have easily been spotted just looking at main.h and wondering what MIN_STAGE_AMOUNT is.. it's a multiplicative factor of 10 on the total max coins.. so total maxcoins would be 10* 360m..


Anyways.. I'm only doing forensics right now.. I'm NOT signing up for the fix.  But it's a good learning exercise for everyone so this same scam can be prevented in the future.

Let this be a lesson to all of us: don't invest in coins named after geographical areas. They are pump and dump coins, nothing more.

Please add me to the list lost 4 BTC, colominer

[WayForward]

I watched cryptsy free fall to 200.

Then Poloniex opened their markets and some people were able to cash out still high in the 1000 mark.. then of course it was promptly frozen.

I WANT OUT TOO with my 12k, maybe I should create an exchange too and when this occurs I can at least get out when I want too and not be stuck with dead coins.

send me your coins

[micryon]

Code:

if (vtx[0].GetValueOut() > GetProofOfWorkReward(pindex->nHeight, nFees) && pindex->nHeight != MIN_SUPPLY)

and just LOL at this code.. damnit.. if someone would have just looked slightly at the github could this would have stuck out like a sore thumb.  

Basically it means that the the first block (nHeight == 1) is SKIPPED when determining whether or not reward matches the code... thus obfuscating the huge premine.

[nexus2k14]

73K down to drain, devastated.

Code forensic analysis is conclusive... this was a 100% original dev orchestrated scam.  

There IS NO AC2.. it will either not happen, or if it does get released it will be a scam/virus of some kind.  

The proof is in the code and on the blockchain.  Check it for yourself.

[Decrypto]

I feel for everybody who has lost their coins. I was burnt for 50% and got out at 700 satoshi. I really hope for all the holders that the new version is launched but I wouldn't hold my breath. What a scamming priiick (or bunch of pricks)
