[/quote] Curled up in a fetal position? But...but... they said it was INVINCIBLE!!! [/quote] No, that was the noobs. Those that know how stuff works, knew that all ETC was only living on grace. It comes as no surprise and was totally expected. So, problem is that OP has been listening to amateurs and thus thinks he knows anything. If you guys want to understand look at this (the hash algorithm column) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptocurrencies Some of them [b]use the same [/b] and there lies the danger. Anyone that uses a hash function which is used by another larger chain are [b]not[/b] safe. This is no news. [/quote] Thread is fail, because OP tries to mix the chains expected to be strong and the chains expected to fail at any point as the same thing. No, there wasn't anyone that knew how stuff works that expected ETC to be unhackable. [/quote] You fail, because all I did was post an article. [/quote]

More and more security holes are appearing in cryptocurrency and smart contract platforms, and some are fundamental to the way they were built.
