Mining pool SuprNova announced that the blockchain cryptocurrency Verge was attacked by 51% and all the correct blocks are rejected. According to them, the issue affects all pools and all the miners since an attacker at this point controls all units.
$XVG @vergecurrency is once again under attack, someone is 51%’ing the chain and invalidating all legit blocks. All pools and miners suffer from this, the attacker is getting all blocks currently.
