KDC CripToe has closed temporarily closed registrations.

We do truly appreciate the hash-rate... but we do not want to own the network... and miners are piling in on KDC Criptoe... and this going to result in a lot of coins turning into dust for many people... all the way around.

Can another pool operator please speak with the dev team and take the risk to use our fix so we can do as much as we can to protect miners hard work and hash-rate.

Thanks!

I have pm'd some pool ops.


@roastbeef - there was a problem with the update, a fix was supplied by another user and the wallet can be grabbed from here:

https://github.com/ny2cafuse/klondikecoin

At the moment that will put you on the new official/unofficial chain. We will confirm 100% asap if we need to rollback or anything else.

I'm currently updating some of our nodes and the block explorer so we can get a better idea of whats going on. The windows wallet will also need to be recompiled.

The official github will be updated once we are 100% happy this has resolved everything.

Wait wait wait... you're telling me that a "fix" was pushed by someone OTHER than the dev team?  And you're asking us to willingly get on a fork run/started by a rogue pool?

That's freaking ridiculous.

To top it off, that means Criptoe has had EXCLUSIVE access to this fork for how long now at a ridiculously low difficulty?

I'm sorry... this is bullshit.  Totally unacceptable on every level.

Hi Kheg,

Don't worry - they pushed a fix and shared the code very shortly after, i could see this from looking at their github, the timestamp on the change was very shortly before they released it, the git was also cloned from the official klondikecoin repository shortly before that.

If i thought they had exclusive access for a while and took advantage of that i wouldn't have been okay with it, ofcourse they would have had a very minor headstart but i see that as more of a reward for sorting the problem quicker than i could get hold of the other devs.

There's also no need to worry about them having access to it at a low diff as kimotos would have kicked in and stopped any form of 'insta mining'
