apparently The DAO is under attack and is leaking eth in huge amounts. We will try to keep you informed, currently Griff laid out a strategy to rescue tokens:
If anyone knows who has the split proposals Congo Split, Beer Split and FUN-SPLT-42, please contact @griffon The DAO’s Slack. We need their help!
- If you have made a split proposal already and have the ability to split, please do so asap.
- If your tokens are blocked vote yes on split proposals.
- If your tokens are free, you have to make your best judgement call.
- If you want to help spam the Network so Christoph Lefteris Vitalik Gustauv and all the other geniuses can mount the counter attack… a community member posted this guide on how to:
- Please do this to spam the Ethereum Blockchain:
Open terminal:
$geth console
In second terminal:
$geth attach
In geth console (make sure account[0] has sufficient gas for transaction):
...
...
This will spam the network using your accounts[0], ie first account that shows in geth account list
When do you need this?
You need this instruction if you want to split from The DAO, perhaps because you don't agree with a proposal or with the curators. It is a way to ensure the decentralization and autonomy of The DAO.

* If you are just splitting the DAO with just yourself, you would enter your address and therefore become the new Curator. Make sure you have access to this account! If you are creating a new DAO with other people, this should probably be a multi-sig wallet held by multiple trusted people.
** Anyone who enters the Proposal ID will be able to read this descriptor, so don’t include personal information.
