He ddosd polonex and overcame 200gbs ddos shield...isn't that enough to take down all three big pools and have peanuts of hash left?

 

Is there anyway those pools could forward to different smaller subset pools?  More targets?  Big pools spit to many small ones???

And yes u have smooth.  Pools are an inherant weakness ... esp to cpu coins ... they need to be eliminated for all coins for security reasons Imo fwiw

I was saying this two days ago ... pool operators if they have not sold to bcx need to find a way to seamlessly spit the hash to multiple servers with ddos.

Only bad part is pools don't make much money ... like 200 each a day?  So security of the network is really on three central sites makes 200 a day before expenses

Maybe MEW thought of this tho?  And secretly secured the pools somehow???

Securing hash and pools might be a better resources spent for mew than trying to keep the price from crashing like they've been doing.

You can tell em I said so :p

Well u guys are responding more/better than I thought u would ... I might buy if it goes low...good to see things in an aspiring coin becoming stronger not weaker with adversities.   

I'm still throwing my whale party and buying popcorn tonight tho

I was talking about smooth response.  Admitting the points of failure and how it deserved to go down if three points of failure (pools) was all it took under threat from bcx...He aknowled the weaknesses.

Risto is just buying at 310 what should be priced at 210 and saying shetoric.  And u r just some dumb fanboy who is working at walmart ...

If there is evidence of an attack or even when an attack seems likely the best thing to do is simply not engage in transactions. The old part of the blockchain will be fine regardless.

We don't find credible the claim of an attack against private keys (see mathematical analysis posted here). Of course we could be wrong, but we will cross that bridge if and when we come to it. No one can guarantee zero risk, but we believe this risk is very low.

You don't need to personally back up your blockchain, if there is an kind of attack against it there will be an update that will recover it just as there was with the last attack, which was likely far more sophisticated in terms of technical knowledge required than anything BCX has in mind, but that is just my guess. It can't hurt though.

Don't panic (ever). Wait for further updates.

if you see the price of 210 let me know - I'll buy all my money

Hmmm. I love popcorn.

Seriously though, I wish you guys well. I think this will be much ado about nothing.

Although, I expect the price to have a sudden spike back to around .004 and then probably come back to where it is now again in a few days. I think all the people trying to profit each way will wind up with minimal profits from all this.
