The level of incompetence of Verge DEVs is staggering. To propose a hotfix and confuse minutes with seconds is absolutely unbelievable at this level. It takes only a brief glance at the github commit to realise something's off (I'm a dev myself).

If this company is valued $850m, then what the hell is going on. It's not a question of if the market collapses from coins like these, it's a question of when.

Made an account on this forum just to say this, because my jaw is on the floor.

so what will happen with the coins at supnova ? , i mined for a few weeks without withdrawn any coins
make payout manually

i tried with no luck , my account link at supnova  doesnt work

I don't understand your problems, you can like or dislike suprnova pools, but they are reliable, and if you want to remove your XVG
1) login (if you forgot your password, there is a button to recover it)
2) go to "my account"
3) "edit account"
4) select your Payment Address
5) put an Automatic Payout Threshold just below the amount of coins you have
6) fill your 4 Digit PIN
7) clic on update account and within a minute or two, the coins will be transferred

(I am not related to suprnova in any manner)

scroll to the bottom and theres a "cash out section".... just enter ur pin

Hey, guys! Tell me, is it possible the same attack on other coins, which also alternate algorithms? For example, is it Ravencoin or Pigeoncoin? And in general, all algorithms in the family of X (X11 and so on)?

from what i saw, it is definitely in several other coins. i did a quick search on github and found many others. to save them the headache of what we just went through, i am not going to name them here though.
really? you don't think its a good idea to publicly expose a weakness in a coins code? what kind of monster are you?   lol... screw these haters let em buy when the fomo sets in

Just registered to back OCMiner on a technical level. He is correct on all counts, and you should listen to him.

Sunerok doesn't know a thing about engineering; he would not be able to land a job in this sector. He is a fraud, a phony, and gives the rest of us (professionals) a bad reputation.

This will catch up to him, for now, I advise you to reach out to SEC and file a complaint. I just spoke to the NY division, and while they will not comment on the status of the ongoing investigation; I can assure you that he will see his time in court.

https://www.sec.gov/oiea/Complaint.html
https://www.sec.gov/page/sec-new-york-regional-office

Protect the eco-system and get rid of the fraud. There is no sense in talking to him; the federal agents will put him in his place.
lmao... and whats your favorite coin? and to back him on a technical level, you should probably include something technical...piss off

Okay guys, as the shit keep hitting the fan harder and harder here I need to take a few steps to actually end that drama for me:

Suprnova will not reopen any of it's XVG/Verge pools for mining whatsoever. You can mine it freely on any different pool if you like. Withdrawals are possible of course.

....


This will be my last dealing with XVG. I don't like to get cheated and blamed. As a miner myself I care for what I mine and I care for others as well - you can take it or leave it.


I get why you're pissed off and I'm a total noob here, but I gotta say that I think they need you ocminer.

WE need people like you running the pools and keeping an eye on things for the rest of us. In this quickly evolving space we need a lot more than straight up profit-takers. We need people who give a shit about doing this thing right.

I hope you change your mind about XVG. I'd use your pool at double the fee exactly because you care about more than profits.

I don't agree about the part about never mining Verge no matter what.  We don't make statements like this and we'll go back to mining Verge after a period of stability.  It seems like pool operators seem to let themselves get overtaken by emotion constantly, rather than simply looking at the best way to make money.

On the other hand, I agree with where he says that he doesn't trust Verge.  The $12,000 we lost is a huge amount of money.  Cryptocurrencies are going to be reaching the bottom of this bubble cycle later in the year, and we need to sell and save as much money as possible to weather the period where bitcoins are worth $1000 or $2000 before the next bubble starts.  That money could pay a developer's expenses for more than a month, and imagine all the new features we could add with that.  This is not some sort of game.  Real people's lives are at stake.  We just paid someone to move across the country for us, picking up his entire life.  The action yesterday increases the risk that he did all that for nothing.  I personally don't think that many people here understand this.

Taking those two points together, we don't make policy based off emotions or because we truly want to wholeheartedly support a particular coin.  The sole purpose of our pool (and likely those of other calm and rational business owners) is to make as much money for us and our customers and to keep people employed, and mining Verge is not a reliable way to do that.  If the circumstances change, then we'll re-enable Verge.

lost me at 1-$2k btc

This is a petty reply.  Instead of addressing the main points in the post, you derisively focused on a reasonable expectation of bitcoin's price based on past bubble cycles.

Next time, try focusing on the part about how the money impact's people's lives.  That might show a little more compassion and class on your part.
plus aint nobody tryna hear the mining pool cry about lost profits... cry me a river ----- quit crying, reopen the stupid pool and start collecting ur 1% again

1)I stated fact, your account is brand new and that was your first message
2)I don't own any Verge
3)Ocminer had a very wrong behavior. You first talk to devs let sort them out a quick fix, then explain to the world what is happening. Not the "vice versa".
4)This is a drama because what happened sucks but by quoting CryptoYeff

at the end of the day what did we lose? 20-30 million coins--- who gives a sh!t-- means nothing compared to max supply---- we lost half a day of mining? not the end of the world.

Are really this dense or are you just pretending to be? What do you mean drama? Losing 1% of the total supply through an exploit: "no big deal".
This isn't fud you dense ***** this is truth. There is no uncertainty here, verge has a critical bug that is STILL live.

OCminder did everything exactly the way he should have done.
After contacting the dev team and getting laughed at(it is working as intended?Huh??)
Seeing as that it's an ongoing attack his loyalty should always lie with his miners first and the devs of random coins second.
He didn't only raise public awareness without exploiting it but also mentioned solutions.
The verge dev should be getting on his goddamn knees to thank this man this man for pointing out what is happening without benefiting from it himself.


Now if we look at yesterday with the knowledge we have today what can we conclude?
1. The "fix" didn't fix it at all.
2. There was blatent lying on their twitter(not only massively underplaying the gravity of the exploit(small hash attack), it didn't just last 3 hours and they didn't fix it either).
3. The dev should be working overtime to try to fix this thing instead of barking nonsense on this site and reddit, he has his shill....marketing team for that.
4. The "fix" was copy pasted from peercoin, just as the "wraith protocol" was copy pasted from opalcoin.

This is a ridiculousness of the situation is baffling.
Justin what are you doing??? You've made so much money from this coin how is it possible that you can't hire competent coders to hotfix this and other things if you can't do it yourself???


its .more like .1%...

this should have been handled privately between OCMINER and Justin... OC couldve just shut the pool down and give us- the miners- a heads up that something was wrong and mining was suspended until he spoke with developers.  He didnt have to tag it on the dashboard lol.  What efforts were made to contact the devs? and if there were any and they went unanswered; how long did you wait? 5 minutes??  At the same time im glad OC saw something wrong and did something about it, i just think it couldve been handled in a more private manner and after the issue was addressed then bring it to the forums.  By putting it on blast it definitely increased the damage.  Im not a verge fanboy by any means, but i did mine the sH!t out of it and was excited about upcoming events.. if anyone recognizes my name you know i mine xvg x17 on suprnova.  Im more upset about the way this unfolded more than the fact it occured-- at the end of the day what did we lose? 20-30 million coins--- who gives a sh!t-- means nothing compared to max supply---- we lost half a day of mining? not the end of the world.

is this safe to mine again? seeing its back up on yiimp pool

I would say no. I have been mining on the yiimp pool for over an hour and have 0 confirmed blocks.

You need to wait until you have 140 confirmations; which you don't have yet-- that's why you haven't been paid.
