Bittrex.com has disabled Monero.

There was an announcement that some coin will be removed. Monero was not on that list. What is going on? I was carefull and held just part of my Monero in bittrex, but I am anyway pissed of. Is Monero really removed form Bittrex or just for a while. Is there any way to got those Monero back?

[skunk]

after starting my wallet it seems to be stuck on block 202651:

Code:

2014-Sep-04 13:13:11.279692 [P2P1][36.33.57.101:18080 OUT]Sync data returned unknown top block: 202651 -> 203025 [374 blocks (0 days) behind]

did it end on the wrong chain? since the wallet wasn't running during the fork, how can i avoid it ending again on the wrong chain if i resync after redownloading the blockchain from scratch?
thank you

[...]  XMR and BBR are in the same situation here. [...]

But only one of these is relevant enough to actually get attacked.

I would like to extend wishes of a "nighty night" to tacotime, who brought forth meaning to the expression blockchain voyeur^tm.

When can we expect for Poloniex to enable Monero market again?

I'd check ChainRadar first, as they are on the correct chain: http://chainradar.com/xmr/blocks

If it's not there, then yes, you need to re-download the blockchain, and then delete your wallet.bin (not the .bin.keys) and reopen it as normal. simplewallet will recreate that cache from the wallet creation date onwards, and since you never sent anything on the current chain your coins will still be there.

Erm, it's showing on both.

Download the blockchain, make a copy of it. If your sync fails, you can go back to the copy and try again.

are you saying it is just a 50/50 probability issue?

Cryptonote has been a cluster fuck from the start. Deliberately poorly coded with exploitable mining and made by a scam team. I appreciate that Monero had nothing to do with that but the algorythm is fucked at its core.

Chainradar on the right fork

No because more and more people will be on the right chain. There are still some nodes on the broken chain but it should become increasingly rare so you will be less likely to sync with them.

ok, then i'll wait some hours before trying to sync again, thank you for explaining smooth.

Thank you. That is the reason. Poloniex has also problem with Monero. Lets hope they will be solved.

That's interesting.

All transactions after fork have been included in blocks on both blockchains.

As example TX ef7aba30ff92401067824d066cda071d885beda411d60df993b34e8af3804881

On the right blockchain:
http://chainradar.com/xmr/transaction/ef7aba30ff92401067824d066cda071d885beda411d60df993b34e8af3804881
Block # 202619   2014-09-04 04:29:05

And on the wrong:
http://monerochain.info/tx/ef7aba30ff92401067824d066cda071d885beda411d60df993b34e8af3804881
Block # 202615   2014-09-04 04:42:06

So, if you send coin, even on the wrong blockchain, you get payments on both forks )))

can any body just upload right blockchain for win 64bit

This is quite a development.
There are some complexities with doing such a consolidation that are worth taking a close look at.  Fast block chains are more likely to have forks and longer ones, so this may not be the last time such code is useful.
