Shenanigans with ETC. Really time for a lot of coins to die/vanish in obscurity.

A not so gentle reminder to not leave your crypto on exchanges.

Pretty cool news.

i'm a pretty nice guy but every time one of these things happen i really hope that someone really rich lost a lot of money, and is able to use it to find and take out whoever pulls these stunts, i guarantee it has happened before, and no one else ever knows, i would never do such a thing but the thought of ripping someone rich off and for them to have a death vendetta against me would scare the shit out of me way too much to ever consider it, if no other reason did.
Seems that there was a new breach/collection of passwords and emails, including crypto related sites: https://www.troyhunt.com/the-773-million-record-collection-1-data-reach/
So check https://haveibeenpwned.com/ again to see if your mail is included in the 2019 data. If yes, check the passwords of your exchanges here https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords
Edit: already a thread here https://www.resetera.com/threads/th...each-i-suggest-changing-some-passwords.94070/
Dealing with crypto, you already should use a pw manager and use some long ass random generated password for each exchange+2FA.

Its crazy how it seems its only ever a matter of time before every exchange is hacked or something.
Im still waiting for things to slip significantly lower. I don't feel like its bottomed out nearly enough when stuff like ETC is still up there after double spend attacks and shit. Alot of the garbage in this market still needs to flush out of the bottom.
BitGrail Ruling
Pretty good overall; theft really was people being able to withdraw multiple times because BitGrail didn't bother to check if the withdrawal had already gone through, lol. And, yeah, of course he knew all along.
Imagine having invested a couple k $ into Raiblocks when it was sub $1, then seeing it rise to $20, only to have it stolen/blocked from withdrawal from Bitgrail.
Was close to shifting 1000€ of my portfolio to Raiblocks (XRB) when it was around $0,10 but almost every shitcoin seemed hype and ready to moon around September 2017.

Good lord, so he knew in July? And Nano blew up too. I want to try and find how much Nano was going for in July versus its peak when those folks were trying to cash out, but couldn't...
Edit:
.03 cents a coin early July 2017
$33.70 a coin at the peak.

"In July 2017, 2.5 million NANO was valued at approximately $250,000 (1/100th of the value it had in February 2018 when Mr. Firano went public)."
Oh wow you are right. Coin flatlined. That HAS to be the last straw, cant see many believers holding on after this.
That patent still isn't done? I swear it was 'days away' 12 months ago.
Another one (probably) bites the dust: NEM Foundation - message to the community.
They're still "optimistic" about the future though or something. No idea what NEM does to be honest but it's stil in CMC's top 20 and was top 5 in January 2018, if I remember correctly.

NEMs desktop wallet was one of the better and sleekest wallets early on and it was one of the first coins i got interested when i encountered dontpanicsell.com
I also almost forgot the huge hack of coincheck and the millions of lost NEM back then. That was probably a huge blow to them

Woah, the news about QuadrigaCX is nuts. Apparently the founder died last month and never told anyone the password to his wallet. I'm seeing some people in my network on Twitter who've lost tens of thousands of dollars.
For context, QuadrigaCX was one of the only crypto options for Canadians. It's what I used to cash out last January--it was either that, or Kraken.

New Quad news?
Crypto continues to bring the fuckery.
Wow, Gerald Cotten managed to move funds out of his cold wallet beyond the grave. Crypto really is the future!
Double post, but this is big:

Looks like Quadriga was an exit scam. Not only that, but it also operated as a Ponzi Scheme. They never had the liquidity they claimed. And the founder wrote his will two weeks before he "died in India." The entire thing smells like a CSIS investigation waiting to happen.

So...
When Coinbase/Binance exit scam.
It's funny. When Coinsmarkets exit scammed, it was kind of a *pretends to be shocked* situation because the site was clearly some Geocities shit.
But Quadriga was the top exchange in Canada. And this dude went as far as to bribe some Indian officials to write a fake death certificate. 🤔
I don't think any exchange is safe when it's run by tech bros with more money than morals.
So I've been dipping my toes into Crypto here and there and I've only got about 7 odd BTC left, but I have put in for :
- 50k XRP ( Got them at 0.009c Aud back in Mid 2017)
- 20k Tron (Got them at 2-3c)
Looking at the top ten cryptos, I'm now tossing up at putting a few hundred into one more, but I can't make up my mind. Stellar and Cardano look decent, but are there any others I should look at and why?

Coworker is practically begging me to get TRON right now...
If it's not on my current exchanges I use (Coinbase/Bittrex) I don't bother. Ah well.

Bad luck anyone who lost crypto. I'm keeping mine split up on multiple exchanges just in case this happens.
Reddit thread on one of the guys behind Era's (former) favorite coin. Last time I checked they supposedly had hired a CEO and CFO or something but both now apparently have deleted any trace of XBY from their LinkedIn pages, lol.
So here is something interesting, Bittorrent of all places now has a coin running off TRONs network
Bittorrent Coin
Started at 0.000702c on the 2nd of Feb and is already slowly going up.
Edit- Update: If you already own TRON, you will get small monthly deposits to your Bittorrent coin address also. Neat
I'm still looking forward to what happens with XRP once the switch is flipped, I got 50k of these bastards at the starting gate.

J.P. Morgan getting in the game

I guess this was only a matter of time. One way to really speed up blockchain transactions is to just have it be 100% private and centralized, which this would be. The question is, if you have to rely on and trust JP Morgan to manage everything, and not change any data, due to control being totally centralized with them, what is the benefit of using a blockchain here? Why not just use a database?
JP Morgan has the advantage of already having lots of customers though. That outweighs most other considerations.
I should have been more specific, in regards to software, reliability, testing, setting up servers as well as customers. It has taken dozens of engineers and a long time to get Xrapid/Current/Tide in the state that it is working. JP Morgan better have something amazing to compete, but then again he may only be helping himself.
