Speculation :that partnership gonna be very probably with German Bank and they will release xvg debit cards. Imagine Verge chain being attacked in future, how you will pay with such card. Useless. And I'm not even talking about that when I was in team dev said xvg will NEVER partnership with bank, ever. Because it is anonymous, decentralized currency.
I have been out of this topic as pool operator of NLPool.NL because as pool operator you have to be neutral with your opinion i think. That's something up to the miners, not us.
However, this argument you make here is not making any sense. My bank, and also many more here in this country get D-Dossed multiple times a year, and with that their nice I-Phone app breaks, android app breaks, website down, no pin transactions etc. Also, Skimming of bankcards, creditcards .... it is day to day practice here in the Netherlands. So i don't see how my bank is any better then a xvg-coin in times of difficulty. The argument that the banking system is more secure is also not valid... you and i know it isn't.... it's far worse. If you talk about millions of coins now extra in circulation, that still worry's me less then the amount of coins the ECB printed in a minute.
So i actually do believe that such partnership *can* be possible. I am more worried about the EU stance against crypto then over this thing.
Perhaps this hacker who did this job can solicit at the ECB... he sure as hell knows how to print money from thin air, so he can just continue his job there without anyone caring or bothering.
So, i left our pool open for XVG during last days. VergeDEV was helpful and communicating and they still are.
So anyone looking for a pool to mine XVG ( Blake / Lyra2V2 or X17 ) , you are welcome @ NLPOOL ( www.nlpool.nl )
And for the other arguments of fellow pool's losing 12.8K of money .... Sorry but is all in the game. If you do XXX's TH/s of traffic and make lot's of money a day, just make a reservation for times it goes bad because we all have our good and bad days in life.
It's a pathological if it's true situation with your banks in NL. I dont see any of these things, in others EU banks, as I was, never ddosed, sometimes some conservative works, and that's it. It's really bad there I see.
And this attack just dusted a cover on verge being a shitcoin, true shitcoin, without even working properly without exploits blockchain, pump and dumpers dream
Do you think your bank will write you a letter each time someone tries to hack them (or someone does hack them)?
I am not a Verge Fan, but what happened to them can happen to any coin any time. Even Bitcoin or Litecoin or any other of the big coins. Definitely, there were made a lot of faults during this attack. But in the end, they fixed the problem. So maybe everyone should just calm down right now again...
