White Coin 2.0?

I think I'm done investing any serious money into new coins, I didn't invest in Asia Coin but was strongly considering it. Maybe $20 at a time would be ok, but this crap is happening alot lately.


Steer clear of WhiteCoin. Check their latest commit at Github. There's a smoking gun in their code SO SHOCKING that when word spreads, they will face the same fate as AsiaCoin. And that's not FUD bud, that's the unvarnished truth.

I pushed those commits after reviewing another devs work and making some edits. Theres only 8 lines of code changed in the fix, total.

https://github.com/Whitecoiner/Whitecoin/pull/9/files

The only line you could be referring to is the POS checkpointing key.
 
We didnt have the original private key from the developer. None of the blocks were ever checkpointed because there was no checkpointing server running.

The code was security audited by Cryptsy and they demanded we add a  checkpointing server because the coin has been under attack.

I generated a new key, and gave them to one siilent majority WC holder. The foundation runs the checkpointing server.




Crosspost.
