I will set my bet on Verge saying: "It's an exlorer bug, everything is ok, we just have the most buggy explorer ever;" 
I'll set mine on: "difficulty goes up and down"
Dude just tell me one thing, are you getting payed to trash verge?i mean i understand and respect the fact you dont like verge but you are litereally posting about verge every single hour, we got your point you dont like verge, move on dude you are just being abnoxious and pathetic at this point.
You do realize this thread is specifically for the network attack on verge, and CHIEF56 is researching and posting info related to the attacks or possibly another attack? How is that pathetic? Please go elsewhere if you don't like this thread.
Did anyone of you guys ever think about the fact, that the attacker is still trying to attack verge again, but it does not work anymore? This means, that the last patch did solve the problem obviously. This means the Verge blockchain is succesfully defending against the attacks right now. Usually this is a reason to congratulate, but it seems you guys prefer to spread fud and hate...
And a completely new codebase will come soon.
