I can’t post besides newbie section on bitcointalk yet… I had to get this off my chest though!
Somebody punch that worldcoin dev in the fucking mouth please! His coin just looks like the all new federal reserve coin… because they are scared of bitcoin and all the alts!
LoL Just read the rules to the forum after posting this… If my comment needs to be deleted so be it… but at the same time… I just can’t hide my feelings HAHA!

the chain has forked and newest get it, the weirdest part is the confirmation was done by an address that seems to have done some weird strike(possibly a lot more then 51%) in the past as it got a couple of straight 32901-32918 32960-32966. seems to be weird in my view

Here is the message from their site. So 5BTC to the member and 5BTC to every member. I’ve sent them a message asking for addresses.
[/quote]Still confused: Was it 5 or 10 BTC for block 33,000?
wemineftc.com says: “For the last 5BTC being rewarded for 33,000 we will be splitting up the reward to all pool members if our pool finds it.”
wemineftc.com seems to think it’s 5BTC for block 33,000 - and not 10BTC, no?
Strange thing: wemineftc.com does not even list block 33,000 in it’s block stats page:

[/quote]I threw in a 5 BTC speed bonus if the block was complete by May 25th. I sent Bushstar the extra 5BTC earlier this morning… wow, I should have pushed it to like May 22. :)

[/quote]I am starting to believe we are not alone (Aliens), or in the existence of Quantum computers ;D
Are you going to investigate this further? Would be quite interesting.
(1) How can one orphan the chain at the exact time block 33,000 is due?
(2) Which resources does one need to create address 6pFeathercoinSucksCBTuauhTGi8cdDCV ?
-
Sorry, but I lol’ed… ish happens. The fact that the coin is picking up traction is ultimately what is important :)
-
not 33000 but 33001 that make the second chain longer removing the first one.

[/quote]+1 I like your thinking

I’m concerned that the blockchain was apparently hacked with block 33,000 and 33,001. If it was simple vandalism that isn’t going to have far reaching effects. However, if something more devious occurred I don’t want to see FTC harmed as a result.
Can it be confirmed that there wasn’t any double spending or extra coin generation?
Might there be some fallout from the event that will cause FTC to be viewed as insecure?Some official response to the event seems appropriate.

[/quote]Why was it apparently hacked?
BTC has several orphans everyday, is that being hacked?
Why would anyone want to double spend a currency that is hard enough to single spend (IE: With little value and no real merchant acceptance?)

[/quote]There is nothing new here, we have seen these attacks several coins over time including ours. The best solution is to grow too large for these guys to have an impact on us like making blocks orphans.
I am still gathering information on what happened and intend to post something about it all.

[/quote]Thank you for looking into it. Maybe I’m too new to crypto that I haven’t seen this happen, only heard about it.
I look forward to your findings, keep up the excellent work.

[/quote]I am trying to find the exact calculation for it, but Rough back of the napkin calculation is that he wouild need to take one of the big BTC pools, and start mining the FTC Vanity address around the time Rome was founded to have any chance at all of coming up with that address.
