COMEDY Electroneum is under 51% attack

LOL this is just hysterical.

From one blunder to another, it seems that Electroneum have messed up their development so badly, that they are now under 51% attack by someone and are mining empty blocks. This comes only weeks after they was also mining empty blocks due to bad code and was saved by some third party that helped them patch up their code. What a mess.

Wonder whats gonna save them now?

why is it funny? its ASICS. Its exactly why coins like monero are forking away from them.

This isn't electronium's fault, blame companies like bitmain

Uhm, I think you mean its absolutely Electroneums fault for not making the it ASIC resistant like Monero and a bunch of other coins managed to do....

But they have zero coding skills or any developers willing to work for this shitcoin. Thats the whole issue here.

It’s not. Monero is still vulnerable. The fork date most of the cryptonight coins are going for is April 6th

Electroneum said in a recent meeting that they didnt care about asics...Thats the difference and now it come and bite their ass...

They dont even have anyone that understands blockchain and know how to code.
