How much of a threat is this? 50/50 that Zeitcoin will go down? Mintcoin seem to be flummoxed. Is it a simple fix, or are we into the realms of the unknown?

No Worries.  After updating the code , it will take time to recompile the new wallets.

This is a quirk that only freezes sync between the wallets, coins are not affected.
We pointed out the problem to Mintcoin , when we realized what it was.
Their programmer roboguy should have a fix for them in a few days.

We have contact Bee7 (first one to point it out) and are enlisting his help to fix it before zeit network has any issue, Strangely enough Zeit has Time on our Side.  Cheesy
 Cool

Great news kiklo. I think that should be enough time to get a workaround.
On the side note, when announcing the new wallet we have to be careful that the provided link with the wallet download is not compromised, as it was in case of OPAL recently (see below). This has nothing to do with ZEIT, but it is a warning for all of us to be alert and always double check what we download and install.


ATTENTION PLEASE READ ASAP

Good Afternoon,

We found that a user (diabanhxeo ID# 210031) posted a malicious post which included links to a hacked version of our wallet. This wallet installed a backdoor on some users computers which in turn stole their wallet.dat files from multiple coins. Through checking him out, we see he has posted many links to other coins's wallets, which we assume are also malicious.

If you downloaded the latest windows wallet from this thread, that was part of a reply and not our original post. Please scan your computer now for malware. Only download the wallet from our website opal-coin.com and not any other links in the thread. The source of the wallet should only be from "wallets.opal-coin.com" and no other domain.

Update: The malicious files are RAR files, we only host zips of the files.

We apologize for any inconvenience. We are dedicated to our community.

Thanks,

The Opal Team
