      The cryptocurrency prejudice has to stop.

      But, the (cryptocoin) public’s attitude towards attacks has to change before the attacks will stop.

      Many see these “[b]attacks[/b]” as “deserved” and “good”.
      We need to start with the yute’s and educate them at an early age that attacking cryptocoins is wrong.

      Stop coinism!

      ;)

        So Cryptsy is literally waiting on an update from us before they resume FTC trading.

        Can we get some PR folks over there ASAP please?

        I’ve spoke to different people over there, I’m waiting to hear back from Bush myself. I just jumped on and based information on to Jeester.

            Adresses are useless because they are “anonym” and you cant take no action (blocking) against them.

            Would be great if the !coin creator! could block address in worst case scenarios like this - to go one step further if he could withdraw coins from adress which are used for “criminal” purpose

              with all the alt and not so good creator(e.g: nuggets :o) around some coins i would run if this was possible

              address can be good if you trade and found he trade with you so you find him. but unlikely to be notice or even happen

                My latest analysis of the situation is

                Either, the attacker is moving round the coins - Phenixcoin - Worldcoin etc, from the upped instant hash rates to the 24 Hr average. Or there is some other (possible dangerous) auto mechanism switching miners around. I’ll be sort of pleased, if its the latter.

                Is there any news of those coins how are our “partner” coins doing?

                The attack has to be from Litecoin or Bitcoin miners, because the hash power required. Hopefully they lost some Litecoins moving their rigs over to do the scrypt network attacks.

                    There appears to be some sort of issue with the FTC client. I’m not sure whether it’s related to the attacks or not, but in my client, ‘mintime’ was almost 2 hours off from the current time for a while, resulting in many rejected shares.

                    It’s still over 30 minutes off as I write this:

                    [code]$ feathercoind getblocktemplate {} | grep ntime
                    “mintime” : 1374235229,
                    $ date +%s
                    1374232575
                    $ bc
                    1374235229-1374232575
                    2654
                    [/code]

                    This caused 100% rejected shares on my pool for about 3 hours until I patched stratum with a larger allowance for incorrect ntime.

                        Seems FTC were dead from now :( It is a pity, hoping that this will be the currency of a minimum replacement for litecoins :(

                          Seems that the diff/retarget time is completely out of wack.
                          Also havent gotten my latest block found confirmed/unconfirmed in ftc client for several hours.
                          Only info is that the miner has found one accepted.

                          Anyone care to comment about this? time for checkpoint?

                            Yes Just seen this???

                            Why is difficulty going down with more hash power added?

                            Anyone have any idea? looks abit f0rked ;(

                              Something is very very wrong. Re-target time is negative and keeps increasing in negative value. Does this mean it will never reach 0 hence it will never re-target?

                              Edit: 69,505,175 KHash/s :o looks like another attack?

                                The attacker found a vulnerability in stratum and was using that to block the hash power. Because pools weren’t finding any blocks, even orphans, miners started jumping ship.

                                This attack isn’t one person but a group. I’m starting to think either these attacks are based on a grudge or the removal/down fall of ftc will make money for someone’s other project. This is to thought out and concentrated for sh*ts and giggles.

                                  All right everyone, calm down. Everything will be okay :)

                                  These attackers are pretty ingenious. I’m really keen to get the [url=https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=1878.msg15226#msg15226]Advanced Checkpointing[/url] implemented so that attackers have to mine blocks normally like the rest of us.

                                  What they are doing to us now they will move on and try on others. We are being forced to evolve which is no bad thing. More than anything these attacks help spread fear, uncertainty and fear as many do not understand the attacks and over estimate the damage the attacks will do.
