NEW ETA

Okay let's resume the issue because the thread is a bit messy atm.

The source contain a code to send the POC block reward on the following address: KLMD1gKGK44AGaRq5W8StG4LnhGDLjCfQh

The problem is that coin are actually sending to an other address. Which is not the good one.

It mean the POC is stuck and the miners from this pool are receiving the POC block.

We think it's a malicious attempt as the pool operators aren't responding and as the coins succeed in all our tests.
The pool involved in this has still more than 51% of the hashrate. It's not really a fork because the blocks are indeed the same: it's not about the blocks but about the transactions. This is making this attack not visible directly on the network, because you can't watch a block fork.

If anyone of you is a dev you can find the part of the code on main.cpp line 4443 and 4659.

My advice is to stop mining at the moment, because we failed to get less than 51% on the concerned pool.

We are looking into a solution. Me and my co are actually discussing about this. I also had a long chat on IRC with the peoples there.

We need to restart the coin, but also need time to rework our system to avoid this kind of attack happening twice.

We will make a system to refund the Contributors if they want to get back the BTC.

More details are coming as soon as possible. I'm going to update the OP, I'll keep answering your questions too.

Please don't do useless troll, we will work on a solution.

Technically the POC block should be send to the address of our console.

At the moment they aren't and sent on the pool address. The only way to do it is to chage the source + having +51% of the hashrate and be the best chain.

It's not a bug, it's an attack.

Testnet and non testnet are doing well.

and here is the truth: you may mine at pool.mn and leave all the coins to yoursefl (infcuding coins from POC blocks, whic are huge - 472 coins per POC block compared to 8 coins per regular block). Or you can go to another pool that donate POC blocks to the dev who will then sell these coins to you for bitcoins

pool.mn is not on a fork, dev is spreading fud coz he's losing his coins right now

although I agree that dev should have some reward for his work but in this case dev wants to take 50% of all Kibweecoins which is kinda huge

I'm not losing my coins, the contributors coins are forked, not mines.
0 coins are coming to me.
I may even have to restart the coin because of this fork. What the point so ?

pool.mn has less than 51% now, so everything should be ok.

This thing is the hashrate was more than +51% during the POC blocks, allowing the fork by discovering the block + having the best chain.
I have no answer from the pool operators.

We are taking a decision at the moment.
If we need to restart the coin, we will do it so.

POC ETA

We have a serious issue right now.

We suspect that the coin is forked by a pool owning more than 51% of the hashrate.
The result is that the POC reward (472) isn't not coming to our server and going to this pool.

That's why all miners should leave immediately the kib.pool.mn at the moment.

If the POC reward don't come on our servers, it mean we can't distribute it to the Contributors.

The 4 first POC block has been sent to an other address than our.

It mean for the Contributors that the first Roll will be decayed until the coin come back to the right chain.

I'll provide more update as soon as possible and update kibwee.com to let people aware of the issue.

To fix this, again, we need miners leaving the pool for an other.

ETA ON THE POC

The 3 first POC reward has been send to http://kib.pool.mn/ instead of our console.
I suspect it was a fork attempt.

Now the pool have less than 51% of the hashrate. I'm waiting for the 4th POC block to see if everything is alright.

At the moment the first POC Roll is decayed because of this, the POC won't start on block 280 as expected.

I'll provide updates as soon as I can.

Please can someone send a very few amount on this address KAxePZDBeBYoLt8XCceUzG8k3SuNFp7Fua

Yup, if someone can do it when possible Wink

I know an exchange isn't the first prior, but we have 1 pending so why not !

A Word of warning about that wallet

I downloaded a rogue wallet, It bypassed all my security and stayed hidden on my PC stealing keystrokes and even managed to transfer my wallet.dat. I would expect this is the case. I lost nearly everything emails, paypal, bank account, exchanges were all hit.

I cannot recommend a solution! I had to fully wipe all my computers.

You don't have any antivir on your rig?

The random wallet did not come from DEV.

I had windows anti virus, windows firewall, trusteer rapport (protects internet banking) and malwarebytes pro.




My advice: Never download any random software not appearing on the front page.

Yes maybe, but at the moment the POC reward is sending to this pool instead of our POC console.

I suspect a fork.

The POC console can't deliver the reward if not received the 472 block reward. It's very important that the miners move to an other pool.

Okay we have a serious issue right now, please leave you miners from the pool http://kib.pool.mn/

The 472 KiB dedicated to the POC are sending to this pool instead of our console.

Leave this pool NOW.


I don't now yet if this fork it's volunteer or not, please go to an other pool immediatly, they have more than 51%.

Okay, I deleted all the posts containing this windows wallet.
It's 99% sure that's a virus.

I'm not the author of this wallet, please download only the files from the main threads.

Kib. You the man. After asking so many questions, I think I finally understood how this whole system works. This is very innovative. I am a shareholder now and have turned on contributions. All set for the KiB roll Smiley

You're welcome, if you have any other questions, you know where to find me Wink
