Yesterday, I noticed supercomputing has taken over the mining queue. This is the run down from yesterday:
- Around 10 pm UTC time I made my first post about the concern. A few miners responded with concern as well.
- An hour later, I made another post expressing my frustration. A few miners responded with disheartening comments.
- Another hour later, It gets to a point I believed this needs immediate attention. I made a post with a Warning title.
- commented that he will inform the right people.Finally, at about 1am UTC, @officialfuzzy noticed it and
- commented that they were aware of the "loophole" that supercomputing is exploiting, and is fixing it. They will implement this fix in the next hardfork.And a few more hour later, @rainman
- good news, that the fix is ready.This morning @liondani brought
Here is today's update: Apparently, supercomputing is exploiting a "loophole" in the mining algorithm. The fix is ready. But, There is no official word about when it will be implemented.
I'm pleasantly surprised that so few people decided to abuse that loophole before a fix got made.
I guess that is considered a bug bounty for him.
