        I can’t post besides newbie section on bitcointalk yet… I had to get this off my chest though!

        Somebody punch that worldcoin dev in the fucking mouth please! His coin just looks like the all new federal reserve coin… because they are scared of bitcoin and all the alts!

        LoL Just read the rules to the forum after posting this… If my comment needs to be deleted so be it… but at the same time… I just can’t hide my feelings HAHA!

          the chain has forked and newest get it, the weirdest part is the confirmation was done by an address that seems to have done some weird strike(possibly a lot more then 51%) in the past as it got a couple of straight 32901-32918 32960-32966. seems to be weird in my view

          cf404f2d1e… 32960 2013-05-23 00:26:43 200 5400.1 FTC

            Here is the message from their site. So 5BTC to the member and 5BTC to every member. I’ve sent them a message asking for addresses.

            Still confused: Was it 5 or 10 BTC for block 33,000?

            wemineftc.com says: “For the last 5BTC being rewarded for 33,000 we will be splitting up the reward to all pool members if our pool finds it.”

            wemineftc.com seems to think it’s 5BTC for block 33,000 - and not 10BTC, no?

            Strange thing: wemineftc.com does not even list block 33,000 in it’s block stats page:

              I threw in a 5 BTC speed bonus if the block was complete by May 25th. I sent Bushstar the extra 5BTC earlier this morning… wow, I should have pushed it to like May 22. :)

                Block 33,000 is listed as an orphan block as someone forced another block 33,000 on with a mean vanity address.

                    I am starting to believe we are not alone (Aliens), or in the existence of Quantum computers ;D

                    Are you going to investigate this further? Would be quite interesting.

                    (1) How can one orphan the chain at the exact time block 33,000 is due?

                    (2) Which resources does one need to create address 6pFeathercoinSucksCBTuauhTGi8cdDCV ?

                        not 33000 but 33001 that make the second chain longer removing the first one.

                                I’m concerned that the blockchain was apparently hacked with block 33,000 and 33,001. If it was simple vandalism that isn’t going to have far reaching effects. However, if something more devious occurred I don’t want to see FTC harmed as a result.

                                Can it be confirmed that there wasn’t any double spending or extra coin generation?
                                Might there be some fallout from the event that will cause FTC to be viewed as insecure?

                                Some official response to the event seems appropriate.

                                  Why was it apparently hacked?
                                  BTC has several orphans everyday, is that being hacked?
                                  Why would anyone want to double spend a currency that is hard enough to single spend (IE: With little value and no real merchant acceptance?)
                                  It’s as secure as Satoshi intended, still.

                                  And an extremely valid point raised by thep33t, sometimes in situations like this, it’s a very good idea to think outside of the box 8)

                                    There is nothing new here, we have seen these attacks several coins over time including ours. The best solution is to grow too large for these guys to have an impact on us like making blocks orphans.

                                    I am still gathering information on what happened and intend to post something about it all.

                                      There is nothing new here, we have seen these attacks several coins over time including ours. The best solution is to grow too large for these guys to have an impact on us like making blocks orphans.

                                      Thank you for looking into it. Maybe I’m too new to crypto that I haven’t seen this happen, only heard about it.

                                      I look forward to your findings, keep up the excellent work.

                                        And an extremely valid point raised by thep33t, sometimes in situations like this, it’s a very good idea to think outside of the box 8)

                                        I am trying to find the exact calculation for it, but Rough back of the napkin calculation is that he wouild need to take one of the big BTC pools, and start mining the FTC Vanity address around the time Rome was founded to have any chance at all of coming up with that address.

                                            ohh, and that was using hashpower from BTCGuild (30TH/s) which I think is a little more than Nero could have his millions of slaves do on an abacus.
