You think the reason the hacker hasn't returned all 43,000 Ether is because he struck a deal with the team? I find that hard to believe, because they're still looking for him:


If he isn't confident he can't be found he would either never touch the Ether or return everything hoping they let him off the hook.

But if he's sure he'll never be caught why return any Ether at all?

Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle. A hacker who didn't realize the consequences of his actions at the time and is still in a state of confusion.

Bad news for the Chinese people!! TOR barely works in China.

Maybe do some basic research before you shill your bags.

KYC in its current incarnation is no good. The documents you have to send are required to be unretouched scans, so it's trivial to steal your identity. If you're going to do KYC at least allow people to watermark their passport and mask unnecessary information. Regulation works both ways: the current method of KYC is a breach of privacy laws. Proper privacy protection should be enforced.

There are already projects in development that allows identification without having to send a passport over and over again. It's a shame there wasn't a standard like that before.

We could go deeper and ask ourselves what's purpose of KYC in the first place. They say it's about preventing money laundering and funding militants. First off, cryptocurrencies are by nature traceable and as such really bad for those purposes, in stark contrast with cash. Second, if it's about evading taxation maybe governments should look into fixing tax at the fundamental level.

The block time of RootStock is still 10 minutes, right? And Ethereum 15 seconds. That is huge difference for usability. The average time on the Ethereum network is 2 blocks now, but in practice it seems to take about 1 minute to execute an instruction on a smart contract, that is 4 blocks. 2 to 4 blocks worth 10 minutes each on RootStock would be painful if you want to trade on a dex or play a game.

It's a lot cheaper to buy ZClassic before the snapshot date compared to Bitcoin. ZClassic is less than $130 and Bitcoin about $9500. You get 1 Bitcoin Private for each ZCl or BTC.

Some of you guys are so naive. Of course banks know about Bitcoin, they aren't ignorant. It's just they have a huge slow company and outdated systems so it's very hard to make big changes. What else can they but try to slow down Bitcoin while they change the direction of their mammoth tanker? Else they risk the birth of new financial paradigm that puts them out of a job.

You mean Bitcoin Private? And they sell before the snapshot? That's an interesting point of view, I thought people were nervous about the world leaders getting together to talk about Bitcoin clampdowns.

Kind of agree with you. If exchanges can't even protect themselves from hacks that lead to the theft of hundreds of $millions, you think strangers giving away tokens for free are going out of their way to protect your name, address and passport? Just a matter of time before that data leaks.

There's also an often ignored but very useful ignore link.

Take your own advice. EtherDelta isn't functional at all. The last transaction displayed on EtherDelta was 6 days ago!

There are way too many airdrops now and not enough money to go around to make them worth a lot. Airdrops have become vapor.

I agree there's a big chance Litecoin will pull back in a few days. It increased a little too fast. Like they say: easy come, easy go.

How much regulation does it take to stop people from being stupid and greedy? This is why we can't have nice things.

There's this puzzling account promising EtherDelta 2.0. But the deadline already passed.

ForkDelta is up and running independently from EtherDelta, but are they trustworthy?

Check out the last Tweet.

AFAIK Taylor/MyCrypto gave back the MyEtherWallet Twitter handle to kvhnuke/MEW.

Just download a stable release from the MyEtherWallet Github repository, run it on your own computer and let the drama over capitalizing the MyEtherWallet.com website pass.

Now that BitcoinTalk has banned shitposters is it still possible to get merit legally? I don't want to stay a Jr Member. 

Maybe it's time we start supporting Forkdelta instead of Etherdelta?

Nobody really explained or discussed the hard cap.

A project has a maximum number of coins or tokens. The developers can't create more coins, although they can split the total amount of coins into portions. A portion for public sale, another for salaries and expenses, a portion for marketing, etc.

Let's say a project has 100 coins. 50 coins are reserved for the public sale. Each coin is $1. The hard cap is 50 coins = $50.

But why would you limit your project to a fixed amount of money? You could also develop a scheme where each sold coin increases the price of the next coin, up to a just shy of infinite hard cap.

Coin #1 = $1
Coin #2 = $2
Coin #3 = $4
Coin #4 = $8
Coin #10 = $512
Coin #15 = $32,768
Coin #20 = $524,288
Coin #30 = $536,870,912
Coin #40 = $549,755,813,888
Coin #50 = $562,949,953,421,312

That sounds really bad. So much for security. What's the point of a hardware wallet if it is just as vulnerable as a software wallet?
