I'm somewhat neutral here. I see the point of the PROGRAMMERS who say that Tristan should shut it down pending a rewrite and audit. I see the point of the customers who want it to stay up. And I see the point of Tristan trying to keep his business afloat after a major fuckup. It seems that the majority of his customers are ok with how he's handling it, despite the flaws, because he's been up front and honest about it.

That goes a long way in my book, too. But I must defer to the programmers and experts as well, because I am not one and do want a secure exchange. But yelling at each other isn't going to change or help anything, nor does it add to the conversation.

I think he should compromise. Give everyone a couple of days to withdraw, after suspending trading and deposits, and recode the thing. Then issue shares to help defray the costs of the rewrite, pay back everyone who was harmed in the hack and his solution, and reopen with a new and more secure platform. That way everybody wins in the medium to long term. Oh, and mount an external audit or two, just to be sure. He seems to have the good will of the community, so I do not think the above would harm his long term business prospects. On the contrary, it just might secure them.

We don't have access to the checkpoint server though, we therefore need to change it and therefore we need to point the wallets to the new server.

Hey Chris
Do you know if we'll need a hard fork? I'm really not sure if we will, it's only the checkpoint server we need to change afaik and I hope that just needs the wallets to be updated for which a few us would like to update anyway (need to include the conf and hopefully install it automatically).

I don't follow many coins, I prefer to pick a few decent ones and work them (a few so not all eggs are in one basket), but community coins do seem to be rare which is a shame, I think it's how it should be. They're not very decentralised if only a hand full of folks control it and if they disappear, everyone else is screwed.

Well i'd chip in to hire someone to hard fork if we are going to take it over.

Would this be the first altcoin to ever be taken over by the community?

loss/theft was due to the exchanges incompetence,  this is not the customers fault.  If the theft was only 50k and this guy running an exchange cant pay 50k back, then he is a liar and has no business running this company.

I mean when the exchange is doing good,  he is not sharing those profits with his customers.  By the same token if his exchange is having problems then he shouldn't make the customers pay for it in any way.  

People should show a little more anger, instead of thanking the guy for his incompetence

is ECC equipped with Kimoto Gravity Well / KGW?

You have to factor one thing: There are people who bought tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands when DRK was at 0.0000xx and 0.000x price ranges. These people are not "cutting any losses" selling at 0.00x. They are simply locking (major) profits.

Regarding miners etc, as the difficulty rises (and it is already quite high) the equilibrium of mining DRK to sell for profit changes. This means that instead of mining/selling/locking daily profit, miners will shift and instead other coins will be mined/dumped. Those who believe in DRK will mine and hold and those who believe (but do not mine DRK) will buy DRK with the profits of mining something else. This will reduce the coins profitability but in turn, paradoxically, help the price.

As for the "falling continuously", it's not an isolated incident that affects DRK per se. Check other alt coins and their graphs. But, at the same time, coinmarketcap position is relatively stable (we may pass worldcoin actually - it's getting closer).

Support programs like paper wallets, phone apps that are secure (unlike Bitcoin at the moment), and as much point of sale as we can get increase value. Scarcity doesn't make value as much as support does however 42 coin is extremely expensive compared to Bitcoin because of scarcity.

Before everyone gets on me about how Bitcoin isn't secure on a phone. I based that on news stories I read on the internet. My opinion is if you want to loose Bitcoin just put it on a cell phone.

In the very beginning i had a such idea. but when searched online i found out another crypto https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=269312.0
I checked he was not death so we come to solution ECC because we could not name it :-) You will name it!

I need you guys team together & add some power to this new crypto. It deserve to be supported only for new vision and mission brought to the market. There are new lands un-explored fro cryptoes. ECC is going to be the key for them.

Not a single buy order and over 140M THOR for 1 satoshi, seems kinda dead to me sorry to say this!

Okay guys, I'm here with another good news!

I've talked to MintPal-Jay (an admin of MintPal) about the incidents today. Thanks again for the friendly conversation.

The results were:

• He doesn't blame the whole Q2C community for the things happened. He thinks that the botter is somebody that has no special relation to Q2C, USD-e or KDC.
• The voting system has been / will be changed so that only registered users are allowed to vote. This will prevent botting.
• Q2C will be unbanned and gets most of its votes back. Of course, the botted votes will not be counted.
• The donated votes (about 0.08 BTC in total) will still count after the unban. There is NO loss.
  

.
My faith in MintPal is fully restored and I want to thank them for the very well handling of the incidents.
Today was a very exciting day, but we all should calm down now and support Q2C again when we are listed on MintPals voting list (in a fair way, ofc). Additionally we should apologize for some bad words that have fallen against MintPal and other coin communities (especially USD-e and KDC).


So, what should we have learned from today?
We should not fight each other. We are neither opponents, nor rivals. Fighting leads only to negative moods and bad words lead to negative reputation. We are cryptocurrency communities, all sitting in the same boat. The only way to master hard times like today is to work together and keep calm.


PS.: Sorry for my bad english, I'm not a native speaker.  

Ofcourse, it is just a matter of time when kdc or q2c will be added on mintpal. We need to promote coins as much as we can and we don't need these kind of promotion and scandals. Anyway good luck.

Why do you need the dev right now? Everything seems to work just fine...

I know, but why it doesn't syncronising? Maybe you know?
