Breaking: Numerous Bitcoin Wallets May Have Been Compromised by Rogue Developer https://www.ccn.com/breaking-numerous-bitcoin-wallets-may-have-been-compromised-by-rogue-developer/A user with very little coding activity on GitHub requested publishing rights to the event-stream library from its previous maintainer, Dominic Tarr, who said that he had not maintained the repository
in years and gave control to the new user, called right9ctrl.
The library event-stream is used in many Node.js applications. According to a complainant on GitHub, the new maintainer right9ctrl either pulled a sneaky move to inject malware or unknowingly had the
same effect as if he had, that effect being that it would leak private keys from applications that relied on both the event-stream and copay-dash modules.
Basically, the developer updated the module with malware and then patched the problem to avoid detection, but the numerous people who had already installed it remain affected.
Copay — whose open-source code is itself used by many crypto applications — would be just one of many that use the library, but it happens to be built and maintained by a multi-million dollar
Bitcoin payment processing company — BitPay — which raises questions on its own. |

SV have news today, released a roadmap with a promise of up to 6.5 million transactions per second
But why? I'm not even going to consider whether or not they can accomplish that, but why would anyone ever need 100+ times more transactions than Visa processes? To prove scalability ? Which was a problem for Bitcoin in 2017 (together with rising transaction fees). This could lead to on-chain scalability solution (128mb) versus off-chain scalability solution (Lightning Network) debate. |

Looks like coinmarketcap also put Bitcoin SV right in the normal top 100 list.
The percentage over last 24 hours feels a bit off though. I guess it takes another day
to reflect more accurate percentage.
Edit : damn, Bitcoin SV has a lot more markets then i thought...
Do they have a working wallet yet? Looking forward to unloading mine when they do. See their website through coinmarketcap, their downloads points to just Github so far. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-sv/Yep...I went to their github...downloaded their wallet (which only runs on Linux). Far too many dependencies that I did not have to get the thing to compile. Figured I'd wait for someone to come out with one you don't have to compile on a Linux box. Did Satoshi only run Bitcoin on Linux? Check "Services" on their website. Although those look to be third party wallets. So i guess no binaries yet of their own wallet. |

Ugg, all that money wasted to pump up Bcash ShitV. Been scalping that crap since 70 dollars. LOL Just went totally out at 140. Now we know where all the money from BTC dumping went.
This one lets you easily monitor it : https://www.coingecko.com/en+76,9% in the last 24 hours and still being pumped. An unexspected pump in a sea of red over the last 7 days. One would imagine with all the BCH that Jihan/Roger had accumulated through mining and pumping since the BCH original fork that they could destroy the BSV price anytime they like Looks like that particular pump is done for now (-10% last hour). Bitcoin is also moving downwards, as noted in above (and below) post. Shorters must be having a field day. Bottom, where art thou ? |

The most interesting thing is that currently Bcash (ABC) has almost reached mining profit equilibrium with Bitcoin.
The way i see it they trust Calvin not going to attack BAB chain so they are moving their hash to the more profitable chain which is Bitcoin. Question is, why don't BSV do the same? Some major shit might happen soon considering both sides are back stabbing conmen. Yes, they (ABC) have reduced hashrate to reach profitability equilibrium with BTC (which probably isn't profitable anyways at current price). With the checkpoints and the possibility of redirecting more hashrate in case of need I don't think they worry so much about an attack. If BSV does the same (as it was logical) that would go against everything they have been saying about the long term commitment of their full hashrate, being determined to keep mining at a loss for a full decade, etc.... It's not that they are man's of word at all, and I am sure they will sooner than later do it.... but they are probably thinking about a good excuse that they can "sell". BSV is not mining for profit but for security. So no, I doubt they would switch to BTC. Theoretically speaking : I wonder what kind of impact low hashrate would have on those large blocks of them (128 mb ?) |

The next 8 hours should be interesting. I suspect a drop to the lower 3K

Is it me or is Dash breaking out against BTC ? (look at the buy order) https://cryptowat.ch/markets/hitbtc/dash/btc/4h Anyways, this is an excellent time for that .. with Bitcoin falling below its support range of $4000 (currently $3770). If this continues, i can definetely see Dash climb three ranks on coinmarketcap in one day :  https://www.coindesk.com/below-4k-bitcoins-price-drops-to-a-420-day-lowWhile several well-known cryptocurrencies are posting positive 24-hour price developments when valued against BTC, including the likes of XRP (XRP), ethereum (ETH) and dash (DASH)
which are all up more than 2 percent in BTC terms, the broader market is still experiencing substantial losses vs. the USD.
Out of the world’s 10 largest cryptocurrencies, bitcoin cash (BCH), stellar (XLM), monero (XMR) and cardano (ADA) are the worst performers, all reporting 24-hour losses above 10 percent (vs. USD),
according to data from Coinmarketcap. |
