I never said that Denarius came up with stealth addresses, I am just showing that your code is a copy/paste from their Github. We all know Wraith is promoted as something it is not. Care to explain the other commits?

verge is a fork of peercoin, obviously. (was, after the new rebase to bitcoin we've been working on)

and the stealth.cpp file came from shadowcoin, not denarius. denarius removed the SDC copyright from their header in that file. ours retains the shadowcoin copyright.

You're avoiding what I addressed. During the first hack you claimed that you were working on a patch and yet you just copied it from a different coin (which didn't work). The second patch is a copy from the Shield Github and you're slandering them by saying that they copied it.

our first patch did work: https://github.com/vergecurrency/VERGE/commit/80c81aef63272231fc39c2af4b8db9f3f2e9d328

the attack then changed. since they were using blocks from ~2 hours previous (on a different chain) now that we fixed the drift again, which we meant to do previously, obviously, it seems to be preventing the attack from occurring, as we havent seen any successful attacks of the last 24 hours. we've been working on a whole new rebase for a few weeks now, and im confident it will be far more hardened against any mining exploitation.


First patch did not work. They just stopped exploiting the chain. Also, it was known that your "fix" was not even a real fix and this was pointed out to you several times. It was known as soon as you applied the "patch" that it wasn't going to be enough simply because of how the attack was carried out. Don't bs saying it wasn't the same attack. Literally was, with just a small change.

Heart surgery is the same as eye surgery, with a small change  Wink
Do you even know the technicalities behind the attack? Please stop, you're giving away how stupid you are.
Sure I am Mr. "they are the same, but with a small change"

You obviously have no technical knowledge. Typical Verge hodler.

Sure you typical VergeFUD. Keep the pointless FUD going! helps me get more Verge.
