Decred mainnet vulnerability issues 2077.97 DCRs, official decision not to roll back

--

Decred stated that between August 16th and 17th, the mainnet inflation vulnerability was exploited, generating approximately 2077.97 DCRs. The vulnerability stems from improper handling of consensus code, allowing for double spending input. Decred has decided not to roll back in order to reduce the impact on users. The approximately 2000 DCRs issued will not affect the 21 million hardtops, and will be much lower than the subsidy of 215000 previously issued due to missed investment and other reasons. At present, the team has developed additional dual cost monitoring services and plans to improve the emergency upgrade signal mechanism.
