Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

Let's keep the historical record straight here. sparta_cuss reported this before PaulyC, and sparta_cuss was immediately blown off by CfB:

Hey, looks like I just got robbed, too.
Someone please check this account: 12152013998194592943
They now have 147k+ from me.
Had a 40 char random password, capital, lower, numbers, symbols.
WTF?

Don't forget Framewood, too. Please notice the date and how little the community paid attention.

This bears repeating:

Please notice the date and how little the community paid attention.

Yeah unfortunately at the time it was a one time thing, made by a Jr. Member so everybody probably just figured it was user error, plus he didn't raise much of a stink after. Doesn't justify it, but probably explains it.

Currently it looks like EpicThomas only was able to get a few accounts. Hopefully now people will be more vigilante with downloading new clients. But if there is no official client, or at least one endorsed by CFB how do we even know if the posted hash is the one for the client that isn't hacked. Who else can we trust?

We have three groups of core developers: BCNext, CfB and Luc. Luc will release new clients from now on. He just posted the 0.4.9 client and I am running it right now.
