Thunder Rescue

Recovering 812.77 coins stranded in the Thunder sidechain treasury · block 1875745

SIGNAL RECORD · SIDECHAIN TREASURY OUTPUT · 780 SDG

1,324,500 blocks of silence

LEG 1 ✓ 32.75 OUT LEG 2 ✓ RE-ATTACHED LEG 3 ✓ 779.9999 OUT

The rescue is complete

812.77

The first mainnet C++ implementation to complete a full round trip — deposit and withdrawal — using the property critics call “miners can steal”. It is a feature, not a bug: the same miner vote that could take the money is what gave it back. We used it to rescue the Thunder stranded coins.

All three legs paid. The 780 that sat unreachable for 1,324,500 blocks is out. Thank you to every miner who stayed pointed here.

Keep mining until all three legs are done. This is two separate voting windows, not one — roughly ten hours in total. Leg 1 frees the smaller coin; legs 2 and 3 free the 780, which is 96% of the money. Pointing away after leg 1 leaves the larger half stranded and the work wasted.

The treasury pointer coin. A withdrawal pays out only if miners upvote it in 131 of 263 blocks; every block this pool found cast that vote automatically. It left 0.01 behind on purpose - emptying a treasury creates a zero-value pointer that anyone can destroy.

The 780 sat in the treasury with nothing pointing at it - unreachable by any reindex, rebuild or RPC, for 1,324,500 blocks. One hand-built transaction, placed directly into a block this pool mined, re-attached it. Relay refuses this transaction, so only a cooperating miner could do it.

Re-chained coins are still inside the treasury. Getting them out needs a SECOND withdrawal and a second full 263-block window. This is 96% of the money, and the half that is lost if miners point away after leg 2.

If a window falls short, we simply try again. A withdrawal that misses its 131 votes just expires — the treasury is untouched and no coins move. We rebuild it as a fresh bundle and vote it again. The only thing a failed window costs is time, so staying pointed here is still worth it even if the first attempt misses.
