Hi guys

please upgrade right now to latest version
windows wallet found here


somebody is exploiting a fix i did before to do a DoS attack
there is a HARD fork at block 4800
meaning if you don't update you will have sync issues

also, avoid sending/receiving coins until block 4800 if you can

spread the word

is this the issue your talking about.

a bunch of blocks were quickly found here

http://fac.blockx.info/get/chain/FairCoin?count=260&hi=4004

yes
also contacted exchanges
it appears to be a DoS attack, not sure if intentional or by mistake
and it also appeared to be over
if we're back to normal, there is plenty of time to update
i told exchanges to freeze deposits/withdrawals, but if we're back to normal we're good to go and i'll message them again. it's basically a DoS attack as far as i know, don't think any damage can be done

It's a quick response to the bug.
great job, dev.  I just download the new wallet and install it. 
I just saw the FAC trade on Mintpal. > 400 BTC in 24 hours!
It's a big day for FAC.
I believe FAC will grow stronger and stronger.
