Just in case any of you guys still had coins on poswallet, but they were hacked in the last 12 hours and lost 9.3btc of coins, they are advising people to withdraw their coins from the site, i'd get any coins you have off there as soon as you can.

Thank you for this helpful information, since this is not an official announcement i think for credibility purpose; you need to post a link where the authority website had made the announcement.

It's true.
You can read it on the poswallet site.

Hi, sorry yeah its just on the frontpage of their site https://poswallet.com/index.php, i only logon once a week to 2 weeks to poswallet so could miss it quite easily.

ty for posting this. I was not aware. seems like this info is not being sufficiently distributed.

It's very sad to hear this! I have been with paswallet since December. Which was a good project. I hope everything is going to be fine!

This is what people get if they store coins on centralized services.

Yeah it really doesnt look good for them, not sure if they are covering the loss or not but my balances where the same after the hack, i think they might struggle to come back from this

i am going to watch this because it seems to be a good projekt and recently i bought some pos coins en was exploring this kind of projects to store them the upside is if they cover the losses i still would consider this and if they don t what kind of service are you really providing imho and it would be free publicity for the project itself

It's very good project and this hack have not even affect the price of coin and 9 bitcoin is nothing for posw.

All we love decentralized crypto currencies but why we put all of our coins to a centralized services such as Poswallet-Poloniex-Btc-e etc.?
we need to hold our coins in our own wallets.

i would love to hold them in my own wallet i have to sleep i bought some recently and was doing de pos thing after a couple of days i saw the malicious scans mulitplying every day so i quit doing that i am not tech savvy enought to fight of hackers that s why i look for alternitive s like posw i hope in the future there will be a good way of doing the pos :D

So we would better store out coins locally . Buying a big disk  computer will not cost us too much than losing money .Think about Mtgox , Cryptsy.

9.3 btc is not so much, some exchanges also lost coins by hack, so we'd better store coins ourselves, that's the safest.

I don't understand how this coin could be a good investment? It is very common for exchanges to be hacked. It can cause its price to decrease sharply.
