Don't know is anyone noticed that word 'Nijeah' is anagram of word 'Haejin'
creepy
I totally agree with you @allcapsonezero
Creepy all the way
lol I noticed right away.. and look at the profile..
Indeed I did notice that :) Interesting, isnt it?
Can you link to the GitHub commit and any issues and pull requests related to this issue? The master branch of https://github.com/steemit/steem doesn't show any commits for the last 12 days.
Here is the link to the PR: https://github.com/steemit/steem/pull/2583
Ah the PR was merged into the
stablebranch, which is "40 commits ahead, 1470 commits behind master". I wonder what branching strategy the steem repo uses. Looks messy.should we start a which hunt or give out a medals for finding this hole in the code to crash the whole blockchain?
honestly, i think this is no dds hacking expert, someone is fcuking around and accidentally crash our blockchain 7 days ago timebomb
can some top 20 witnesses please offer a sizable bounty for finding bugs on the Steem blockchain code, especially when HF20 comes out.... we don't want to end up like ETH with a Steem and Steem Classic!
maybe witchunt but surely not on him...
true the number of blocks missed and time loss in productivity is what we're trying to avoid in the first place
I don't think it was fucking around. That there were four transactions all with the same apparent goal (testing negative withdrawals) speaks volumes about this being deliberate. My gripe is: why did this user do this on the main net? There are testnets specifically for this purpose.
hence the fcuking around, probably to see if anything would show up in his wallet. i even doubt he knew it was going to crashed the whole blockchain, would have stopped in the 1st call otherwise
I can't imagine a Steem Classic. What a mess that would be. "Which steemit do I join?"
It seems, the account belongs to netuoso:
2018-01-06, 00:47 netuoso bittrex 43.528 SBD f62cb7ea66e84c94867
2018-01-06, 00:47 nijeah bittrex 26.663 SBD f62cb7ea66e84c94867
same bittrex address
Neutoso just helped the user and was compensated for it. The learned results could have been used in this attack, but it wasn't netuoso directly (he responded in another post)
Interesting, but that makes me think of one thing. If tomorrow I create an account to mess up Steem, that I manage to reach -18 by reputation, all Steemians hate me and with this false account I send some SBD or Steem to someone influential on Steem via his Bittrex ID, or to you for example. Everyone would think that the owner of the Bittrex ID would be responsible and all this for a handful of dollars. I personally find that dangerous.
Interesting...
Or the guy shows netuoso bitrex number to fool people, so don't jump to conclusions :)
nijeah =haejin backwards?
I don't understand why do they (@nijeah, @notahotdog and his JSON attack...) do this.
I dont understand why the blockchain suffers from basic validation errors.
There need to be more reviews on steem blockchain code... I wonder theres more such basic validation error.. What if theres more different transaction that didnt check for basic negative value. Will our chain freeze again?
Getting hacked is a terrible look for a website involved with money, it's better it happens earlier in the website's life
Steem is more than 2 years old.
That's not particularly old, though I agree that validation errors like this should have been tested for and caught before this. That being said: everyone makes mistakes.
wonder how long people have been doing that for
https://steemit.com/steemitdev/@bobinson/why-did-steem-blockchain-froze was first in discovering this....
Astonishing. Oversight.
Thanks
too bad..
now i really worry about a democracy of this place
What democracy? This place never was a democracy.
jajaja !
Motherfucker wanted to cash out a trillion vests and broke STEEM? I wonder what that name would be backwards?
