Anyone have a copy of both chain histories? If so I will write a script to verify the claims.

DigiByte: The Groestl $DGB Mining Incident and the v9.26.2 Fix
A plain-language explainer for the DigiByte community, miners, pools, and exchanges:
Someone used AI to analyze DigiByte’s consensus code and discovered they could still mine blocks with Groestl — one of DigiByte’s old, retired mining algorithms — because of a safety check that went missing during the v8 code rebase in 2021/2022.
DigiByte is supposed to run 5 mining algorithms. Starting 2026-06-28, it was effectively running a 6th (Groestl) that was retired back in 2019 and should no longer be accepted.
This did not steal anyone’s coins and did not reverse confirmed transactions. But it destabilized the network and caused it to split.
The fix is v9.26.2. It permanently stops new Groestl (and any other retired/unknown algorithm) blocks, while keeping existing chain history intact. Everyone needs to upgrade to v9.26.2 for the network to heal back into one chain.
Related PR: https://github.com/DigiByte-Core/digibyte/pull/416
Quick Synthesis:
A temporary network split occurred due to an old retired algorithm (Groestl) being accepted again after a past code rebase oversight. No funds were lost and no transactions were reversed.
The team has released v9.26.2 as the fix. Upgrading will resolve the split and restore a single chain. This incident highlights the importance of ongoing code audits and hardening.

Please upgrade to v9.26.2 when available.

I don’t want to speak about things that I know nothing about, so I won’t but there is an open PR which is public for anyone to see, the point I’m trying to make is we should wait to get a better idea of what happened, what steps to take next from the core developers.

So bug is old enough to effect 7.17.3? Only a few nodes that i have tried but they would not connect to the hacked chain.

Downgrading won't help

Please everyone downgrade core wallet to 7.17.3 until further notice. This will ensure you are on the correct chain.

Hi, what have you been busy with lately?

DigiByte Discussion

The network has split into two forks, some exchanges don't even know what's going on, Binance is on the old chain, and support isn't responding

It's time to worry

What is happening to DGB? Difficulty dropped to only 50 M. That looks dramatic.

Honestly i wouldn't believe him no matter what he said. He is very lose with the truth and why would someone put the expense in to doing this exploit if they arent going to take advantage. There blocks would obviously get rewound so it makes sense to use those blocks to double spend.

DigiByte Discussion

30 June 2026 03:41

Has he actually analysed the thousands of blocks created in the fork to confirm no funds where taken?

The fix to all of this will be 9.26.2 which is DigiDollar

DigiByte Discussion

29 June 2026 21:06

Nah there is nothing added to code since 7.17.3 that required people to upgrade so only testers should have upgraded.

DigiByte Discussion

29 June 2026 21:04

About this incident, I suggest communicate with the core developers because they may be working on a fix and telling people to switch to 7.17.3 could create more unnecessary disruptions.
