as a note to team and community in general.
as the value of this project increases so will attempts by malicious actors to steal and or destroy that value.

this project has survived fud... pump and dump schemes....price suppressing bots to name a few

but
its seems that most thefts really come from within. possibly the hack of finex, most assuredly shapeshift (2x), gox, mint, crypsty...the list is long.

as a community those with wallets should always have a strong password and only keep as much on an exchange as you can afford to loose.

to team... not sure how you vet and not sure how you can even guard against it, but suffice to say, as you bring on more talent, please realize where the strongest and easiest attack vectors may lie.

now for important stuff.....cant wait to try new wallet!

VERY IMPORTANT INFO THERE. Thanks Cohnhead.

" only keep as much on an exchange as you can afford to loose "

Lets say the worst thing happens and Poloniex gets hacked and IOC is stolen. I am sure the Dev Team here is not going to go down an Ethereum style route or any other roll back route.

So what is being said here, have coins on exchanges at your own risk, if exchange gets hacked, your coins are gone. Many people here understand the importance of this and are keeping coins in wallets and staking them.

Also, when this coin goes to $1, then $5, who knows could well see $10 in the not too distant future, imagine, if you are able to get anywhere from 5 to 20 IOC from staking. Thats a possible $50+ daily reward from staking, with holding around 100k coins (dont quote me on that, just a rough guess).

With wallets it is important to back them up to clean/new USB drives/sticks.
Write your password down in several places and make the password at least 16 characters long, including upper case, lower case, numbers and symbols.

In a nut shell, be safe, as the value of this coin rises, so will the number of attempts to take the coins from you.

NEVER click any link here, unless from dev team.

Never open any emails pretending to be from IOC or poloniex. You get the idea. 90% of hacking occurs from people clicking links in emails/websites.

sounds great bro but imagine getting laid by 3 girls everynight sounds pretty sick huh

And what in the world does that have to do with my post about security? Also, the word "sick" mean to be ill with vomiting and sickness. Out of all the slang words, "sick" has to be the most stupid ever invented.
