How can an attacker get 1% out of mining? This attack must have taken much longer than a few hours like people were saying yesterday.
I'm quoting @OCminer from a previous post
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3256693.msg33956498#msg33956498The attack started on block 2007365 and
ended on block 2010039 = 2674 blocks, okay lets say 2500 blocks...
One Block makes about 1560 coins, so you have 2500 * 1560 = 3,900,000 "extra" coins generated (at least!) ....

This means the attack lasted for enough time to allow
3.9 Million XVG to be created illegally. That's 32.72 BTC at current prices or $223,902 USD
