Re: [ANN][MOON] Mooncoin: You know where it's headed! KGW exploit FIXED 4/3/2014
by

New report mentioned Mooncoin: this address 2M5kiseCXp6X5g75ZcWeo3BNsMYJxtDCzq is under control of the Federal Court (8,421,008,915.000 MOON).

http://cryptsyreceivership.com/v1/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/DE-78-Notice-of-Filing-Receivers-Third-Report-10-31-16.pdf


Interesting, now, based on this report and on October transactions, that's clear that people had at least 83B 91B at Cryptsy, pretty unexpected.
Probably people who were not able to compile by themselves didn't use the Mooncoin binaries due to VirusTotal.com alarms and kept all their coins at their Cryptsy balances.

Edit: Reminder: if you were a Cryptsy customer and you're owed money/coins, please register your details at http://cryptsyreceivership.com.
Unfortunately it looks like Mooncoins will not be returned to their owners, coins will be sold in an auction procedure according to the report (it's good that they will not be sold on exchanges), maybe it will make some promotion for MOON and companies which track these auctions will buy the Mooncoin auction item and will hold MOON over long term, let's hope the court will use fair methods to estimate the MOON price, not based on prices that are artificially dumped on small exchanges with small trading volume - and will not sell coins for less than 1 Satoshi each (~$0.000007 at the moment), anyway you will receive some money, if your claim is approved.

It's better that the receiver controls them than big vern. After the auction is over there will be no more fear of a massive dump. If big vern controlled them investors would never buy in because of the fear of him dumping.

Unfortunately I think the receiver will sell to the highest bid even if it's a ridiculously low price bid. I have not read anything about a reserve price being set yet.

Great, thank you,

Abiky, metamorphin, Bitbobb, polemarhos, killerjoegreece, burzuks, CryptoDatabase and other supporters, thank you for your votes!

If people want something to be done, e.g. a new thread, DigiShield etc. and yet you haven't shared your opinion here, please PM, especially people who run full Mooncoin nodes!
And people who have coins stuck at Cryptsy and who want to get Moonlite bonuses in future for their coins at Cryptsy, please PM, too.


What percentage of the total mooncoin supply is stuck on Cryptsy? If it's a big percentage it could explain why mooncoin has a low price. Big Vern tried is dumping any high value coins that were in Cryptsy and it's putting people off buying them. He's destroyed the value of numerous good coins.

Re: Decred (DCR) is true crypto currency 2.0?

on 06/09/2016, 00:09:46 UTC
Decred need's GUI wallet soon, so non-technical people can stake easier. Also need good marketplace with decred payments and listing in bigger exchances (like poloniex) etc. These things sure make it lot more popular.

It already exists (Paymetheus) but it's currently on testnet. So it's coming very soon. But you can get in even before that, you learn a lot by using the CLI!

It's four and a half months later. Is the GUI available yet, or is your concept of "coming very soon" over four and a half months? A coin without a GUI is useless to anyone who isn't a programmer, and most crypto users aren't programmers.

So zooming out to 1d on the chart, from 5/24, bitcoin is just looking like your typical PnD bubble that we've seen so many times before.  A blow off top, followed by long legs down.  

Looks like it could eventually deflate all the way back to ~450.  Undecided




So Dafar, still mocking me thus far?

Quoting myself ftw.  Looks like we're just going to keep grinding down ~$10/week or so, until this bubble completely deflates.

Since there are no buyers, looks like the only thing that could put the floor in is the hashrate/mining cost, wherever that may lie.  Undecided

It's gone down no more than $20 since then, and because of that you're predicting another massive bear market from which Bitcoin never recovers. Dafar will be mocking you in a few months when it's gone back above $600, not down to $450.

The Kraken has a Bitcoin/XRP market.

You can see it by following the link below and selecting XRP/XBT from the list at the top left of the page.

https://www.kraken.com/charts

If you only want a small amount you can register on the Kraken with a mobile phone number, but if you want a large amount you have to provide more ID.

looks like quiet a few people moved their coins to Kraken.
At least the liquidity in the order book has increased quiet a bit on EUR/USD.

I like this development. Kraken really deserves more attention now.

This seems to be the finex hot wallet address, but it's only had 5 batch withdrawals worth 10k coins during today.

https://blockchain.info/address/1Kr6QSydW9bFQG1mXiPNNu6WpJGmUa9i1g

The kraken can't have any more than 10k coins from finex so far today. Traders depositing coins from elsewhere to the kraken could be the reason for its increased liquidity.

Shit, I didn't know we'd be able to trade BFX right away. Now the price is down at .40 each.

Bitfinex can come in at any time and buy these back and claim they made us "whole".

Nagle explains how to sue finex in America, but I don't know if there are similar procedures for EU citizens. He says it only costs $1000, and another $1000 if you lose. The ten Bitcoins finex took off you are worth more than that. If you are thinking of suing finex it might be best not to sell your BFX.

There's a option for US customers - arbitration in San Diego, California. See Bitfinex's terms of service. The American Arbitration Association's commercial rules apply, which means for claims up to $75,000 arbitration will cost $1000 up front and an additional $1000 if you lose. Click here to start the arbitration process.

This isn't a complex case. You put money into a Bitfinex account, and they're refusing to pay it back. Any claims of theft are their problem, not yours.

Bitfinex tried to control the process by naming their own arbitrator: "The arbitrator shall be Michael J. Lee, an attorney in San Diego, California or a substitute arbitrator agreed to by a majority of the three parties to these Terms of Service."  But there is no Michael J. Lee in San Diego on the California Bar Association's attorney list. So that clause does not apply.

There are AAA rules and federal laws about arbitration. Having insisted on arbitration, Bitfinex can't make it one-sided. An arbitrator can't be associated with one party; there are procedures for challenging an arbitrator. ("Unless the parties specifically agree in writing that the party-appointed arbitrators are to be non-neutral, arbitrators appointed by the parties in this manner must meet the impartiality and independence standards set forth within the rules ")

If you win an arbitration award in the US, it can be enforced in Hong Kong. Between 2011 and 2014, the Hong Kong courts never failed to enforce an arbitration judgement.

For claims under $75,000, the median time from filing to award is currently 175 days.

In practice, if you file for an arbitration, you're likely to get an offer of settlement, because Bitfinex is going to lose.

Re: BFX tokens; worth anything? When?

on 10/08/2016, 18:05:05 UTC
I ain't so sure this is an idea that's gonna survive. there's a lot of legal uncertainty that needs to be ironed out. many people have made the point that if you touch your bfx coins you're implicitly accepting bitfinex's terms. that doesn't work for a lot of people.

they might find out their plans have a huge spanner thrown in them when they realise there are real people at the other end of their website and they're not happy.

I wouldn't touch the tokens if you are considering being part of a class action or any type of legal proceeding against finex. The token terms say a transferring them also transfers any legal claims against the Bitfinex Group to the transferee. If you sell your tokens you might not be able to sue finex.

Quote
To transfer a token to another person, a transferor must assign to the transferee any claims that the transferor has against the Bitfinex Group on account of the Losses.
By transferring a token to another person, all transferors thereby assign to the respective transferees any claims that the transferor has against the Bitfinex Group on account of the Losses.

If you don't touch them the finex token terms say the tokens don't waive any legal claims against finex.

An hour passed and the withdrawal is still not even begun. Usually it's immediate.

On one reddit post finex says you have to email support and request it removes the 5 day password reset withdrawal hold lock. Conversely in another post finex says to submit your withdrawal and it will be processed manually despite any withdrawal lock warning.

It's probably best to email support and request finex removes the 5 day password reset withdrawal lock.

We will be manually doing this as there are scenarios in which the hold will be maintained. If you need the hold lifted please email support.

If you have a withdrawal hold due to the recent password and 2fa update, please submit your withdrawal anyway and we will process it, if we need any additional information we will email you.

That's still about 16 cents more then nothing, which is amazing considering they just pulled this thing out of their ehhhh... they made it appear out of thin air I mean.


It is indeed something. Just goes to show that people will trade anything as long it's on an exchange and has a number attached to it. I might issue my own ThinAir tokens.

On one page they say the tokens do not not waive any claims against finex, but on another they say transferring them transfers any claims against the Bitfinex Group to the transferee. If finex buys them all it can argue in court that there are no claims remaining against it for the hack.

Bitfinex will resume trading and withdrawals at 16:00:00 UTC, that's less than 50 minutes from now. The price briefly spiked above $600 on itbit and bitstamp. What will it do after finex trading resumes? Will most of those holding finex dollars start buying bitcoins so they can withdraw immediately?

Today, August 10th, 2016, at 16:00:00 UTC we will be enabling additional platform features as we continue to restore service after the incident on August 2nd. Exchange trading will be enabled for all currencies and pairs, while deposits and withdrawals will be enabled for BTC, ETC, ETH, and USD - with LTC and Tether to follow shortly thereafter. Exchange trading will also be enabled for the BFX token on pairs BFXUSD and BFXBTC.

I think there's still a way for people who held Bitcoin on 4 July.2015 to get some free stellar, but only Bitcoin whales stand any chance of getting a big amount of free stellar. There's only crumbs available for little Bitcoin holders, and Bitcoin whales have too much money to care about claiming free stellar.

If it fails those who bought loads of STEEM and locked it up for 2 years in STEEMPOWER will lose everything. A day in the altcoin scene is like a year in the real world, with everything moving so fast. Nobody can be sure STEEM can survive for 2 years, and anyone locking their STEEM for 2 years is taking a big gamble on its survival.

ARDOR NXT is better than the ICOs that are everywhere. Most ICOs lose investors money like with the WAVES and RISE ICOs, but the devs get paid thousands of BITCOINS even if their coin flops. ARDOR will make investors money because it's in the devs interest to make it successful.

I don't understand how is that different.

Now you can keep your NXT.

Now you can keep your NXT, and you also get ARDOR for the NXT you have. You get two coins for the price of one. It's buy one get one free.

It's continuing up, it was 690 on finex just now. That's past the high from June of 2014 and only 10 dollars less than 700.

dafuq is going on. i never understand these pumps. i love them and its exciting but i'm baffled as to why volume is way up when price miles higher than it was a short time ago.

are there really that many people who see it sitting at 250 for like 18 months who suddenly decide to buy when it's 600+?

It didn't sit at 250 for 18 months, it bounced up and down between 200 and 300. Nobody knew if the bottom was in and each time it went back down to 200 people panic sold in case it went further down to 100.

Can you predict how high it will go before crashing again? Will you sell at 5000, then watch it going to 50000 and not buy back at 10000 or 20000?

I can pretty safely say I'll never buy a $10,000 bitcoin. Just sayin'.

if you sell at 50000 and it crashes back down to 10000 are you sure you won't buy back in? It would be tempting to get all your Bitcoins back for a fifth of the money you sold them for. The profits would pay for lambos, etc.

I have seen his account is not active from a few years in this forum, is he in depression or something cause I would be if I were to be him.

Last time I checked he had children and was enjoying his life, not depressed at all. Some people get over such things.
Life has much more to offer than early retirement.

He's not depressed, he was posting on the Bitcoin devs mailing list on 15 Aug 2015. He's the first dev to code an open source GPU Bitcoin miner, and he used it to mine those pizza Bitcoins. I think he'd rather post on a techy devs mailing list than here because he's likely to want to discuss techy stuff.

There's nothing to do on Easter Sunday morning except watch the kids stuffing their faces with Easter eggs. Even the shops are shut on Easter Sunday. People probably got bored and started pumping Bitcoin for something to do. There's cheap half price Easter eggs to buy in the sales tomorrow so the pump might stop then.
