Post by: MRM on August 02, 2020, 11:38:26 AM
Ethereum Classic (ETC) suffered a 3,693-block chain reorganization early Saturday morning, an event first thought to be a possible 51% attack, after a miner used old software after having been offline, according to Terry Culver, CEO of Ethereum Classic Labs.

The reorganization caused all state-pruned nodes to stop syncing and is “likely caused by a 51% attack,” cryptocurrency miner Bitfly initially wrote on Twitter.
