Interesting, can you elaborate more on that? or point to a link for a detailed explanation?  Smiley


The Time Travel Exploit was first deployed in June 2011 by that genius kid ArtForz.

It's been well covered here in the forums. Most coins including Litecoin are "immunized" against the original, I've simply mutated it where it will work on scrypt chains at low net hash rate,i.e. less than 100 MHS. This was the first successful deployment of it since 2011 and in this form. One of the major requirements for it to work is really fast target time.

Nothing special, but with a little tweaking, it might be  Wink

What is the attack? Is it related to this? http://culubas.blogspot.com/2011/05/timejacking-bitcoin_802.html
I've tried googling "bitcoin time travel exploit", but I mainly find unrelated news articles about bitcoin or exchange exploits, or other mentions of it with no details.
