RE: How @supercomputing was able to dominate the mining queue and how the bug was fixed.
He made as much as other top 19 witnesses for 5 or 6 days. The network was never at risk, he just outcompeted the other miners. He still had to produce blocks that followed all of the rules and have good uptime.
Some people attempted to shut him down for a while by using the missing active authority on his accounts to change his block signing key. It was white hat vs white hat ;)
For those to lazy to look it up I believe each witness makes around 1.7mil a year ÷ 365 = $4,657 × 6 days = $27,945
Approx figures
don't forget that miners earn only Steem Power, so even if he had "won" much more it does not affect the market so much since he must withdraw like all others in a 2 years time frame! So it is for his best interest to contribute in favor to steemit so he get's the maximum value of his hack the next 2 years ;)
@blueorgy I think you took my statement a little too personal... I wasn't referring to you and I didn't mean lazy as an insult, I was wishing someone had put those figures up for me and normally I would be the one to lazy to check but i really wanted to know if that was a big cause of the market drop so I looked it up and figured others like me would appreciate it.
Thanks for the Approx figures,
Not exactly lazy ;) more I was in a very crowded train and just would rather listen to music and zone out.
White hat vs white hat is always fun to observe. Friendly or not competition defiantly pushes peoples limits to new levels.
