I object to Grant Thornton not distributing the DUO back to the rightful holders. Do you think lawyers are not going to just dump them on the market and line their pockets? None of the DUO disappeared in the hack, it's just that NOBODY will get a peep out of judgey-poo who isn't in the lawyer club. But I have to say that it looks like virtually nobody is interested in making a claim anyway.
I personally don't support blacklisting yobit, i think everyone knows well enough by now they likely won't upgrade and will try to rip off the users with it in their accounts, which is the justification for doing that.
The thing with cryptopia is that I'm pretty sure NZ cops seized everything and cryptopia never had the option to distribute unaffected tokens back to users. Then some assholes who were supposed to be keeping a backup ransomed the user list.
The situation is extreme. We have the ability to block them and for the holders of DUO, not having 118,000 duo get dumped on the market unceremoniously would be a good thing.
I don't think yobit really presents that much of a threat. I am writing blocklist code anyway for cryptopia, whether we add yobit cold wallets depends on whether the member of the team promoting this action can get adequate data to conclusively be certain their cold wallets are frozen.
I am all in for blocking the funds locked in Cryptopia, though I just think re-creating/re-distributing lost coins this way is setting a bad precedent. What would be next? Lost my wallet with xxx DUO at the adress yyyyyyy, please block that address and re-issue my coins?
But certainly, block all those coins that the Cryptopia-criminals deliberately held back from us legit owners and reduce the supply by this.
Dear Psychodad,
Thank you for your feedback. DUO is not the first project to refund community members after the cryptopia Ordeal; other coins have done the same. (I am personally involved in one of them, Nativecoin). Moreover, the DUO team has only implemented this procedure after it passed voting on our discord channel (we have a voting channel to discuss such matters).
As a DUO community member, please feel free to join us on
https://discord.gg/sW8WPkP to have your voice heard on future developments.
Thank you for being a supporter of DUO and have a nice day!
Thank you for your kind words.
I am sorry but since Discord always asks for my mobile number to verify me I have completely given up on it, I am at an age where people believe they need no KYC to simply talk. Also I still fail to understand why a simple chat application needs javascripts to connect to my localhost. Too many red flags in this discord thingie from me to allow it on my systems. I am probably paranoid to a certain degree but still the benefits of joining discord do not outweigh the risks I see in this platform and sincerely hope just following only here will allow me to be kept in the loop so to say.
