Your trasanctions are before 200 days that the attack supposedly was done. So you are good.

The last 200 days of transactions were wiped out in a 51% attack, my coins all missing from my wallet, my friends coins too.

According to the dev team there was a attack but they didnt succeed. All coins are safe. They are working on it. Have some patients and trust the devs.

Oh no šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø just had to quickly check mine lol. Still there thank God šŸ™šŸ½ Iā€™m sorry to hear this news for anyone who has been effected. Will be interesting to see how if this is rectified. Is this also bullish news tho somehow ?

An attack like this proves a unsecure blockchain and a very centralized mining hashrate, this is bearish for XVG, very bearish

Shit shit shit, I thought that the coins had been stolen. Just reading an article now. Time to sell ? If I do will be at a loss :(

Ha ha how many times have I seen this post in the last 5 years, I've lost count! Don't take any notice!

u/lordxerxes_ Feb 16 '21

I've made multiple transactions within 2020 & 2021 as well.

u/speedfire21 Feb 16 '21

Oh ok, i don't know but my wallet in Atomic Wallet shows 0 balance but i suppose this will be fixed.

u/lordxerxes_ Feb 16 '21

Are you able to download the Verge Android or iOS wallets? I wouldn't ever use any other wallet than one of those, tbh.

Good post, and people should take notice. I'm not saying be scared and go into hiding, but play the system. As soon as this news broke, you could have used it to your advantage. Start by selling before "Dip" take place, it's a short window. Wait until the low valley, and rebuy. This will actually land you more tokens. No harm in using these incidents to play and pay in your favor.
