So, since we haven't heard from the dev's on this yet, I was wondering if there might be a solution that could be implemented without modifying the code base. However, that comes down to what the attack vector is. Does anyone have any info on where the vulnerability is?
 
I read over a portion of this message chain, and I read several mentions of 1) modified/inaccurate timestamps, and 2) control of a large number of nodes. 

I am at work currently so do not have a lot of time to check post history, but below might have a starting point...

About november-december attack
I am posting here about this capability in september-october, and waiting for fixes..
And someone start it using my information or may be own research, I am joined to it after.
Now I am not posting info about vulnerabilitys here or on github because someone can use it again, and with very bad effects for net. I am not do mistakes twice)

true since max kh/s is only 60 and i have no idea how to make a cpu rig just for it and the only way i see to do that is a huge raspberry pi cluster. And thank you for replying.

A Cluster of Raspberry pi's should give you a reasonable hashrate. Depending how many you have in your cluster. but depending how much you pay for a pi. Here by the time i buy 4 pi's here in Australia i can do a cheap computer with a reasonable cpu and get more then a cluster can.

give you an idea i have a AM4 AMD A8-9600 (Quad Core) (APU) using 3 threads at 100% i get 40 - 65khs from it (not overclocked) if i used 4 threads i would get 55 - 70khs max
I have another AMD AM4 Ryzen 5 1500x (4 core) using all 8 threads at 100% i get 80 - 140khs from it (overclocked too)
I have another AMD AM4 Ryzen 7 1700 (6 core) using all 12 threads at 100% i get 115 - 180khs from it (not overclocked)
both are not over clocked either

thats cool i got a am+3 fx 6300 6 core, thank you for the info. what type of miner are you using im using m-cpuminer-qt and only get 8 threads max

Thats a good one thats a little higher then the one i have. Mine is a fx 6100 6core. i try to use to use m-minerd (Commandline version) as much as i can for the ease of automation for cold starts/reboots. i got it running on a 21 core VPS i run for my business. and got it using 16 threads. if you need help with the batch file let me know.

http://www.coinmagi.org/files/m-cpuminer/NeedIfFindIt-Sweet-Spot/

with my 6100 i get 40 - 65khs, its alittle overclocked but not by much.

as the fx series doesnt use multiple threads per core you'll best be able to use use 6 threads.
if your unsure go to task manager and click on more details if using windows 10
then go to performance. and then right click on the cpu graph on the right and go to change graphs and select logical processes
this will tell you how many threads your cpu has and thats the best max you can use. if you go over that amount you will reduce your hashrate.
going 1 thread lower sometimes gives you better results. it will all depends on heatsink and its heat dissipation.

  i have a old Xeon 8 Core 3.06Ghz wich get me about 50 to 70 khs and 2 raspberry pi one pi hash rate is like 7 the other is 3.29 kh the weird part is one min i am getting 350 khs out of the xeon and then it drop back to 50 or so the pi well some time jumpo up to 50 kh why i dont know not sure if it from the russian guy playing with the net work i have never seen my kh jump up like this before, and my pool shows i made 7 magi coins sicne the hack started but i olny got 2 the rest where orpaned

It would be going up and down due to the difficulty levels and a few other things which i'm not 100% sure. bu i seen a cpu one mine lose 100khs difficulties, etc. and having a older CPU it would struggle a little more then new cpu's

thats a very good way of doing it. and using a 100ah to a 200ah battery will be perfect for when you get those bad days where cant generate power much. i got a 1300ah 48v battery bank here at my place that i use to run my house, etc. and use to mine with.

[Jeremy450]

It is scaring to see CPU mining, one by one, not working or doing the right thing any more.  

honestly you can kinda blame the devs on not fixing the issues and enforcing the pools to limit the hashing rates based on IP's/Magi Wallets, etc and not protecting the nodes better, etc. its made it almost impossible because of theses ppl who have 2000khs and up. its gotten to the point where if you dont have a reasonable hashrate your lucky to mine 2 coins every 2 or 4 weeks.

i'm not trying to push the blame away from the miners but its more the devs then the miners because of the lack of progress on fixing the issue. Instead they are more concentrating on new features. It doesnt matter how shinny you make the coin. Its the backend and the ability to enforce the fairness of it as well. right now ppl have to become unfair to make it fair. Unless something is done to fix this its going to continue on and make things worse for everyone.

Happy to help. I agree with you. So many ppl blame the miners and not the devs. Thing is its both. but devs more for not fixing this since they known the problem for over 6 months.

Oh how interesting. Now the network is being attacked externally by possible solo miner. 80000khs unaccounted for, when adding up all the pools. i'm going to assume its not done by Vitalik as he always uses a pool.

Hi all,

We can solve the $million question right here.

Isn't it true that there is nothing(- any structure, computer, cryptos network) in this world that cannot be hacked by more power machines or structures, computers, or hackers. Anyone is vulnerable. The best way to avoid it is to make any such actions worthless and definitely not profitable.

Yes. Keep both mPoW & mPoS but make mPoW block rewards as Zero plus transaction fees ( which is 3 DOGEs to withdraw DOGE from Cryptopia, much much lower than BTC or ETH.)

Now, you have the best of all three worlds. Wallet-mining, Attracting regular public users of cryptos (who do not want to bother with this kind of mining issues and have zero tolerance for doing mining thru additional non-wallet mining softwares which are too sophisticated for them) and the Incentivized affiliate system to keep these regular users stay engaged. Such a one smartphone-one account free Faucets/games App would be maintained by donated corresponding cryptos.

Any one signs up to the incentivized rewards by doing such as mPoW mining (to own wallet and wallet "index" address to prove that he/she contributed to mining and maintaining the network activity and to get rewards sent to the index address to avoid borrowing from someone else's mining activities. Only a quota of a few millions are allowed to sign up this kind of incentivized rewards (because these reward-related transaction activities alone would use up all your network power.)

The PoW_wallet_mining gives a user extra reward (Rw) for mining 1 to K blocks for past (say "Index Period" of) 1-4 months; however, the exact reward would be only Rw/K by penalizing having more than one block during the Index Period. Any miner is expected to only mine one block and get lost and come back a few months later to mine another block. Because of the apps being based on "one smartphone-one account", it is less likely to be abused.

The best part of the app is to make every user run his/her campaign, promoting corresponding cryptos in the market place or even charity for self. Every one and his/her activity is decentralized and himself/hersef is enpowered. There is no "Governors of banks or masternodes" to decide what you should do.

There is not a single crypto that can do it this way yet. Also my coming app, ready in one moth, is only related to Coino (CNO) and Joincoin (J) at present. Only a user doing Joincoin-wallet-mining with Bastion-algo will be counted at present.

With all these CPU-mining-incapability issues, since the beginning of BTC, a change is needed to make the world better, making cryptos use for everyone possible, just like the beginning of good old days when we started to have emails for every one.

im thinking of mining litecoin cash on my raspberry pi 3b+ and use my usb miners it might be better to do that right now, Or some other sha356 based coin.

[jonathin.r]

I will be trying to upload snapshots of the blockchain every couple of days. I may have lost hope in Vitalik_Pedik and the developers, but I still have hope for this coin's community.

IIRC, Today's snapshot is up to Block #1790867.
