look 1st post: "...

EDIT: On 05. April the attacker started again and mined about 12k blocks again:

I skimmed the logs and saw the attacker started the new attack at around block 2014060 and stopped just now at block 2026196

..

12k blocks this time Lets say 10k... so additional 10.000 + 1560 = 15.600.000

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#msg33956498

The 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

Ha I just saw that as I went back to check the mined addresses.

We are now looking at a total of ~ 3.9 Million + 15.6 Million

~19,500,000 XVG have been created illegally

Equals to 166.725 BTC or around $1,147,034.43 USD

Not illigal
Expensive bug bounty
