Title: Some ETH Parity wallets locked up?
Post by: Steamtyme on November 09, 2017, 08:50:34 AM
I was reading the news this morning and came across this.

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/technology/code-mistake-freezes-up-to-dollar280-million-in-digital-currency/ar-BBEHEwu

It talks about a bunch of multi-sig wallets being frozen from use because of a line of code being deleted.

The wallets affected are handled by Parity.

I don't deal in Alt's myself yet have just been looking into them lately, is anyone here affected? If so what news have you received?

Lost forever is the best word to describe the current situation. I'm not sure how their wallets works but that probably wouldn't happen If everything was stored in the client side. I'd choose Myetherwallet as a wallet at any given day.

I have heard that news two days ago, and I checked that, it is ture, and there are some rumors that some big ico projects are influenced such as the ambrosus.
