More info on the attack here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3256693.msg38135174#msg38135174

xvg1 and xvg2 are up again but I expect the attack to resume at some point since the developers haven't fixed anything.

Hmm, checked everything but couldn't find any anomalies.

Its like as if the daemon is constantly switching between the best chain tip.

Sorry was out partying last night and slept until now. Investigating ...

Hmm, ich überprüfe das nochmals. Danke für die Meldung.
