        Is it a distraction? The second we switch up to help them they hit us again?

        Still willing to dive in there, do I just change pool information or do I need to change something else in my config stuff?

          Phenix’s hash looks about right based on the difficulty jumps it made… I’ve asked them to verify.

            Maybe we see the first attack against UNOCS?

              So is PXC network okay or what? And what of WDC? Is the attack isolated to FTC currently?

                I am sure they are but all 3 teams should be aware and monitoring their respective coins and coming up with solutions together.

                    Has PXC been targeted at all?

                    No straight answers.

                      I’m answer similar questions in 3 different threads as quick as possible (still at work). No, we don’t see any evidence of a Phenix attack at this point.

                        that only means theyre really busy finding solutions 8)
                        The biggest issue as far i can see is that they have a plan, but need more time.
                        Also my bet is that they are reluctant to share their plans until they now for sure it will be the best idea to get the coin to the next level.
                        If ftc (unocs) are able to find a solution which makes em 51% attack protected, thats a huge edge vs other dig coins.

                        Also guess its harder to easily catch a 51% attack attempt due to the pools that mine randomly at the most profitable coin.
                        Will say that the exploit of stratum was really well planed. But that is hopefully fixed by most of the pools that support ftc/wdc/pnx

                        Just a shame that it was ftc that had to be the announcer/experiencer of this phenomenon.

                          I’m curious if the stratum exploit was used on phenix coin. I attributed my pxc pool to not finding any blocks for 10 hours to are hash rate dropped off significantly due to profitability. Though ftc pool at d2 was targeted at the same time. On “smaller” coins you could probably do this stratum attack fairly regularly without anyone knowing. I mean add just 150MH and then deny 2 pools for a few hours. You’ll have your 51% at a portion of the cost. In the end a 51% is basically controlling what blocks are found.

                            Just looking at the Scrypt network figures 2013-7-18 20:39 , Phenixcoin may be under attack.

                            They had a retarget to 5.61 and back to 10.09.
