It seems that Monero will not be able to fix the vulnerability in time.
I noticed today they added checkpoints in preparation for the attack:
https://github.com/monero-project/bitmoneroSo.. what does this mean? Will the checkpoints sufficiently defend against the attack?
It worked for Litecoin in 2012 when BCX claimed to be "attacking" Litecoin then failed and ended up creating drama via another means on these forums. Those back then who were around know what I am talking about.
I remember this, but times have changed and xmr is different.
