Edit: New client update appears it may have solved the issue. This post didn't age well D:
Yep. It appeared that it was FAR from AI/farm attack I'm more than happy that it ended that way. Looks like easy fixed was enough to solve problem. It doesn't change the fact that is was worth to pass it here. People should know what happened before next validation because I still see risks. For example during next validation we may have 2100-3500 toxic flips, 700 toxic nodes voting on flips. I would really consider killing my node if I was suspended/zombie.
Full announcement:
"A new version of the Idena app is available: 0.18.0
Changes:
- A critical vulnerability fix in the flip randomization algorithm. The vulnerability enabled an attacker to identify the right answer of a flip without solving it, with a high probability.
We will monitor the situation. The vulnerability report will be published after the upcoming validation ceremony.
Please update your Idena app (https://idena.io/?view=download).
🚨 The update is required for a successful validation.
Please submit new flips using the new app version only."https://t.me/IdenaAnnouncements/641You did good passing this in here, I'm not a fan of Telegram.
I really appreciate your time spent in this thread @Tytanowy Janusz. I now just need to update my client before submitting new flips.
Btw, anyone knows why my node is closing 3-4 times a day after the latest update 0.23.1, in the log file, nothing appears. Thanks!
