Title: HitBTC adds NXT to exchange platform
Post by: Emperion on August 18, 2014, 04:55:19 PM
HitBTC has recently included NXT to its exchange after the altcoin garnered more than 17,000 votes from the exchange’s online voting system. With the addition of NXT, HitBTC is more than happy to offer investors 0 percent fees for trades involving the e-currency for the first two weeks of trading. NXT is the second cryptocurrency to be added to the list via the voting system after Dogecoin won the first round.

Disclaimer: The Author has no holdings in NXT

After a saga of drama with a very large quantity of NXT being stolen from the BTER exchange, prices of NXT remained largely stable. It is now known to us that the thief has returned the funds. The developers of NXT decided not to rollback the Blockchain to reverse that transaction. Since then, NXT is back on track and climbing in value again.

Tiny correction, in NXT developers don't decide to rollback anything even if they wanted to, in NXT stakeholders who forge with their stakes decide. That's why it's called a Proof-of-Stake crypto.

And those stakeholders decided against a removal of the BTER theft transaction.

Right. Because history of the blockchain cannot be rewritten, except when there is a technical flaw in software. This is one of primary laws of crypto currencies. OP, please correct your article with these facts if you need to.

The hacker didn't return all the funds, he still holds 8.3M NXT https://nxtblocks.info/#section/accountId/NXT-8WJ7-8A2H-MBYN-3W9K4
Also, I think it's worth mentioning, that the hacker got a ransom for NXT, he didn't return NXT voluntarily.

He did return it voluntarily in an important sense. He could have double-crossed and ran with the loot and the ransom - just as easily as he had robbed Bter in the first place.
