Regarding the hack, I would like to point out that we repaid the loss in full to our customers -- we did not pass the loss off onto them and walk away. We have since implemented many security measures to ensure that nothing like that could happen again, including continual auditing of the exchange.

As for Qora, the technology was very new when ShareXCoin was still around, and prone to continual freezes and blockchain corruptions. We kept on top of them as best we could, but wallet downtime was unavoidable as it had to be resynced and the wallet rebuilt.

BTC from the ICO would be funneled straight into cold storage; no part of it would remain in the hot wallet for any appreciable length of time.
