....
To bad the devs dont give any comment. I dont now if I should be worried or not

As far as anyone can tell, it's BS. It's been asked in the #monero-dev channel and no one is aware of anything. If I had to make my own guess, someone sent a forged email to a bunch of exchanges... some of them took the bait.

Here's a transcript from IRC earlier today. Times in US-Eastern:

11:19 AM <@fluffypony> ghpg: there's no special email list, there's the announce list that you can join 11:20 AM <@fluffypony> I have no idea why a block explorer would be down 11:20 AM <@fluffypony> we're pretty close to tagging 0.13 11:20 AM <+moneromooo> gingeropolous said he tried to pop blocks on a running monerod, and the importer started a format conersion -> hosed. 11:20 AM w00t 11:20 AM woohoo! 11:20 AM fluffypony: this one https://lists.getmonero.org/hyperkitty/list/monero-announce@lists.getmonero.org/2018/7/ ? it has no history for july and I guess you (monero) contacted exchanges about the duplicate count bug? 11:21 AM <@fluffypony> yes that one 11:21 AM <+moneromooo> hyperkitty... now that's a software I wanna use. 11:21 AM <@fluffypony> lol 11:21 AM ⇐ xnbya quit moneromooo → +hyperkitty 11:21 AM <@fluffypony> ghpg: occasionally if there's something super sensitive we might just directly email list subscribers 11:23 AM to clear it up, are the wallets down on most exchanges due to a bug similar to the last double count bug? too many threads on reddit without a clear answer on that 11:23 AM <+hyperkitty> You'll find out if you subscribe to... hyperkitty! 11:24 AM <@fluffypony> camthegeek: Bitfinex and Kraken look just fine 11:24 AM camthegeek AFAIK no one knows 11:24 AM Its not due to a bug/issue 11:24 AM at least not one known by anyone here AFAIK 11:25 AM ok, thank you 11:25 AM well then, someone has stirred the pot of BS. 11:25 AM Yeah 11:25 AM r/monero feels heavily brigaded lately 11:25 AM hyperkitty, love the name. I'd support it. 11:25 AM it is. 11:25 AM Lots of accounts I've never seen, spamming about wallet issues/the latest "bug" 11:25 AM That all sprang up at the same time 11:25 AM I've drifted away from it lately. too much crap :| 11:25 AM → +hyc (voiced) joined 11:25 AM Its normally not too bad 11:25 AM But this last week has been rough 11:25 AM Idk why 11:26 AM But we should take that convo elsewhere 11:26 AM Don't think any of the devs here know whats going on with the exchange wallets, and no exchange has posted about why 11:26 AM So for now... 🤷 11:27 AM → dog\ joined (~dog@gateway/tor-sasl/dog/x-12068491) 11:28 AM but as fluffypony said, the larger volume exchanges are still kickin' just fine. I'll poke around with support emails and try to see whats up :p 11:28 AM → xnbya joined (~quassel@ec2-54-72-128-94.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com) 11:28 AM Yeah its nothing to worry about I dont think 11:28 AM Just a coincidence that people are panicking over 11:33 AM → orbit33, cardboardoranges, p0nziph0ne and coppa joined 11:41 AM Well, on cryptopia the status reads "24-SEP-2018 - XMR Wallet placed in maintenance at the request of the Coin Developer." .. Maybe it's a bug the devs aren't willing to talk about before it's fixed 11:42 AM → ndorf joined (~nd@ob.noxio.us) 11:42 AM Don't know why no core dev would mention it though 11:43 AM They could announce there is a bug they are fixing etc, without announcing details 11:43 AM Yeah, strange :/ 11:43 AM Could just be Cryptopia BSing 11:43 AM But Idk 11:43 AM Not sure if moneromooo or others want to comment on any of it 11:44 AM Think its all just brigading/trolls tbh 11:44 AM Which aren't worth devs time 11:44 AM I suspect it's actually another CN-coin 11:44 AM kraken is fine, bithumb is fine, hitbtc is fine, binance is fine 11:44 AM Thats the more probably solution, if there is a CN issue 11:45 AM An old, patched exploit some fork didn't account for maybe 11:45 AM <@fluffypony> we're busy with the 0.13 release candidate, which is very very close 11:45 AM <@fluffypony> so don't really have time to deal with it 11:45 AM I don't know, but it's def weird... as said before, to me kraken is (together with bitstamp) the most trustworthy exchange 11:45 AM Understandable fluffypony 11:46 AM they would def know if something was up, and they would certainly not take any risk 11:46 AM And thats exciting 11:46 AM Yeah thats why I don't think its anything of importance orbit33 11:46 AM vegasbaby When I look at other CN coins on cryptopia many of them are in maintenance mode as of 24 sep. 2018 with the note "at the request of the coin developer" so you're probably right their message is bullshit 11:46 AM and indeed, probably devs have other things on their mind 11:46 AM Mibka ah nice find 11:46 AM than explaining why some exchange freezes xmr if they don't actually know why
