[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[twistelaar]

So, are we still on for that alleged attack? I saw some countdown. Is it "official"?

BCX will attack in around 1 to 2 hours from now.

So with 2 hours we are sure if XMR is proof against this attack or not? If it is proof, it will obviously go up.. What if it is not proof?

No idea, the BCX attack is unknown, it might be what anonymint was talking about, it might not be.

I'm not sure how we can prevent an unknown exploit. I am hoping that if the attack happens, we fix things up quickly.

Hi guys - just a note that we have asked exchanges to suspend XMR deposits/withdrawals for 24 hours. Trading is not suspended. This is a precautionary move.

Polo is shutting down everything:

Iloveu: In 30min, as a precaution against the attack threat, XMR deposits and withdrawals will be frozen for 24hrs and all funds put in cold storage.

So in essence you're locking people from sending coins to the exchange... So even if someone wanted to sell now they cant unless the xmr is already on the exchange..

OMFG...

This is gonna be some serious butthurt!

You guys are criminals....

Price will go to zero and now people dont even have a last shot of saving some of their investment..

You are a royal fuckup along with the rest of the monero devs.

Since you're admitting I'm royalty I expect you to use the proper term when addressing me. It's Sir Pony to you.

No, that's what the exchange is doing. It's free for an exchange to keep the deposits open..

Bob, do you need a hug?

I see the notice on Poloniex, but have other exchanges (e.g., HitBTC, Mintpal, Bittrex, BTER) also agreed to suspend?

I hope the team is maintaining close contact with the exchanges in case further quick action is needed by them.

I took all funds going into cold storage as no trading. My bad, carry on.

Cross posting excellent suggestion how to solo mine directly to the developer donation address to both help secure the network and support the project financially.

Please do this!

Now that we are approaching the First Day of Fall 2014 (The Autumnal Equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere (September 23 at 02:59 UTC) http://www.almanac.com/content/first-day-fall-autumnal-equinox here is a suggestion to help the Monero project while helping to stay warm this fall and winter.

After starting bitmonerod (bitmonerod.exe for Windows users) enter:

Code:

start_mining 46BeWrHpwXmHDpDEUmZBWZfoQpdc6HaERCNmx1pEYL2rAcuwufPN9rXHHtyUA4QVy66qeFQkn6sfK8aHYjA3jk3o1Bv16em 3

So what does this do. In addition to providing some warmth during the fall and winter, it adds some extra mining hashpower to help secure the Monero network, every little amount helps, while sending any found XMR to the development fund as a donation. Let us spread some warmth during this fall and winter.

Technical note: The number 3 refers to the number of mining threads. I set mine to one less than the number of virtual processors in my CPU (4 for an Intel i5). To learn more about mining Monero please visit https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=653467.

Done!

thanks a lot, that's why my coins have been stuck at 18/20 confirms.  
How is this any different than a bank deciding I'm not allowed to have access to my money?

Its not. Exchanges are banks.

What time specifically is the attack supposed to start? I need to make sure that I start my popcorn at the right time.
