Update:
See this post:
The funds are safe - We will inform you soon how things will continue
Old post: apparently The DAO is under attack and is leaking eth in huge amounts. We will try to keep you informed, currently Griff laid out a strategy to rescue tokens:
If anyone knows who has the split proposals Congo Split, Beer Split and FUN-SPLT-42, please contact @griff on The DAO’s Slack. We need their help!
- If you have made a split proposal already and have the ability to split, please do so asap.
- If your tokens are blocked vote yes on split proposals.
- If your tokens are free, you have to make your best judgement call.
- If you want to help spam the Network so Christoph Lefteris Vitalik Gustauv and all the other geniuses can mount the counter attack… a community member posted this guide on how to:
- Please do this to spam the Ethereum Blockchain:
Open terminal:
$geth console
In second terminal:
$geth attach
In geth console (make sure account[0] has sufficient gas for transaction):
personal.unlockAccount(eth.accounts[0])
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) { eth.sendTransaction({from: eth.accounts[0], gas: 2300000, gasPrice: web3.toWei(20, 'shannon'), data: '0x5b620186a05a131560135760016020526000565b600080601f600039601f565b6000f3'}) }
This will spam the network using your accounts[0], ie first account that shows in geth account list
