On 1/5/2019, Coinbase detected a deep chain reorganization of the Ethereum Classic blockchain that included a double spend. In order to protect customer funds, we immediately paused movements of these funds on the ETC blockchain. Subsequent to this event, we detected 8 additional reorganizations that included double spends, totaling 88,500 ETC (~$460,000)

Guess someone really wanted those XBY and ADC bags.
International banking giant HSBC settled $250 billion of forex trades using blockchain technology in 2018. The company has revealed the figure in a press release quoted by the Financial Times (FT) Jan. 14.
Through its proprietary blockchain platform dubbed "FX Everywhere," HSBC handled 3 million transactions, which translated into 150,000 payments since it launched in February.
The technology allows HSBC to "conduct thousands of foreign exchange transactions within the bank, across multiple balance sheets, in dozens of countries," FT quoted Richard Bibbey, acting global head of currencies as saying.

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.In its decision, the court concluded that both Bitgrail and Mr. Firano, personally, be declared bankrupt, authorizing seizures of many of Mr. Firano's personal assets. So far, authorities have seized over $1 million in personal assets, including Mr. Firano's car.
(...)
In its decision, made public on January 21, 2019, the Court found that the NANO reported lost by Mr. Firano on February 9, 2018, had actually been removed from the exchange months earlier, between July 2017 and December 2017.
The Court criticized Mr. Firano for not immediately taking steps to account for the losses. By waiting to make the shortfall public, Mr. Firano caused the public to suffer substantially larger losses.
(...)
As for the mechanics of the loss, the Court concluded that the exchange had failed to implement any meaningful safeguards to ensure the "idempotency" of NANO withdrawals from the Bitgrail exchange. An idempotent action is an operation that may only be performed once and if performed again will yield
the same result.
(...)
The Court found that in July 2017, 2.5 million NANO were lost by the exchange. The Court noted that Mr. Firano had been aware of these unauthorized withdrawals almost immediately after they occurred and found that Mr. Firano had reported on Twitter in late July 2017 that he had blacklisted accounts connected to the unauthorized transfers.
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.
"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)."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...
Just visited the subs of former hype coins and lol at Xtrabytes, former coin of the people/hearts. The Cryptopia "hack" was two shotgun shots to the knees since that coin has no market anymore.
Still, Patent is probably just around the corner...
That patent still isn't done? I swear it was 'days away' 12 months ago.
The reality of having one month left in funding means we won't be able to support our current headcount, partnerships, and projects. We need to put everything on hold. This is painful since it hurts good people and partners, but the new council is aligned that we need to be transparent with what is happening behind the scenes of the NEM Foundation.
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.
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.
So I had 30 bucks of ETH on Cryptopia. I'm never getting that back, am I?
We measure activity as the sum of posts and comments per subreddit during the last month. At the time of writing, the twelve most popular cryptocurrencies (based on monthly activity, the longest possible period we could choose) were the following:
- Bitcoin Cash with activity score of 115,676 between /r/btc and /r/bitcoincash
- Bitcoin with activity score of 114,347 between /r/bitcoin and /r/bitcoinmarkets
- Ethereum with activity score of 48,273 between /r/ethtrader and /r/ethereum

https://chainbulletin.com/cryptocur...ch-have-remained-the-most-active-part-1-of-4/Finishing the analysis, it's worth checking which high-cap coins failed to join the active-reddit-community club.
Number one on the list would be Litecoin, #6 in terms of market cap, yet substantially lagging behind coins like Stellar and Monero. Even worse, its activity score is 38.79 times less than that of the leader of the pack, Bitcoin Cash.
J.P. Morgan getting in the game

JP Morgan has 7 years to catch up to Ripple and the progress they've made.
JP Morgan has the advantage of already having lots of customers though. That outweighs most other considerations.
