I would like to thank arhag and the team for their efforts to correct and enhance the POW system.  I would also like to thank @supercomputing for the time and effort he put into discovering and exploiting the vulnerability.  He earned every penny for his real work in pulling off the attack.

I second that. Do you or anyone else know how much @supercomputing made? If it's above I appoiligize haven't finished it yet. Also didn't peer into the account yet. Headed home ;)

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

White hat vs white hat is always fun to observe. Friendly or not competition defiantly pushes peoples limits to new levels.

I like the fact that none of this fix made it to 'big news' outside of Steemit also... The same open, competitive attitude is behind the people who decided not to join the ethereum hard fork, and really, it should be the way we look at this. Justice can only be done when the system promotes justice. When there is a flaw and someone uses it to cheat, sure, you could say they're a 'bad person' but a just system that has flaws in it is not worth the adjective.

@arhag deserves more than @supercomputing isn't it? This post should go higher than $30K in any case!
