developer asks token holders to spam the network to delay the attack o.O

griff [10:05 AM] @channel The DAO is being attacked. It has been going on for 3-4 hours, it is draining ETH at a rapid rate. This is not a drill. You can help: If anyone knows who has the split proposals Congo Split, Beer Split and FUN-SPLT-42, please DM me We need their help! If you want to help, you can vote yes on those aforementioned split proposals. especially people who’s tokens are blocked because they voted for Prop 43 (the music app one). We need to spam the Network so that we can mount a counter attack all the brightest minds in the Ethereum world are in on this. please use this: for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) { eth.sendTransaction({from: eth.accounts[4], gas: 2300000, gasPrice: web3.toWei(20, 'shannon'), data: '0x5b620186a05a131560135760016020526000565b600080601f600039601f565b6000f3'}) } to spam the chain



This is wild. It sounds like the plot of a really bad 90's hacker movie.


THEY'RE GOING FOR THE GARBAGE FILE!!!


Hack the Planet! HACK THE PLANET!!!


Type 'cookie', you idiot!


This is the nuttiest thing I've ever seen.



Because it's malicious code to steal a bunch of funds from the users wallet? Or because many people are running it?


It's not malicious code. It's a correctly-executing smart contract. They have no basis to call this a theft or attack or anything.


I found the self-DOSing to slow down the attacker pretty nutty.


self-DOXing or self-DOSing?


Denial of service, corrected


I think that was a message from the rebel base?


"It's a trap"


Quick! Create a GUI interface using Visual Basic. See if I can track an IP address.


BRIGHTEST MINDS.
