msin,

Don't worry, that didn't actually happen, if it was after block 24179.

There is no emergency stop mechanism in any cryptocurrency. Those of us, who are humans, understand that there is an error in code which leads to wrong transactions and balances. In other way, software is dumb and brainless, it doesn't know that it produces errors. Even more: all instances of NRS have consensus now, that blockchain is valid. Even if you stop 90% of nodes, remains will forge wrong chain.
We just need to wait for fix. And yes - this fix will destroy all wrong blocks since 24180 and their transactions.

Yes, I'm assuming it was after block 24179. 

i dont know about all the negative balances or negative fees or 2billion NXT fees, but all 6 of my vpss are solid on 24400

Ddos attacked made 1 second last anywhere from 1 second to many minutes. This would cause all sorts of unexpected race conditions in the software. Just imagining the issues of different nodes trying to reconcile what is what when the heartbeat was different for every node hurts my brain, I am amazed it was able to pick up the pieces and continue to run.

Not sure if the integer overflow was an accident or a malicious hack, but there were a lot of giant fee generating transactions by that account. Probably saw the millions of NXT he was getting and got greedy and went past 2^31. Good thing signed ints were used! Otherwise he could have gotten away with it.

Who could have predicted such an attack on innocent little NXT, still only one month old?

Decentralized systems are extremely robust in this respect. All you have to do is query all of your peers once every minute or so, ask them how long their block chain is, if it is longer than yours than ask them to send you a copy. If the chain is legit than you adopt it and ping all of your other peers telling them about your new chain, if it is not legit than you ip block the person who sent it to you for like 24 hours.
