This. Plenty of people here who could possibly help. What's the problem?

Polo cut them loose with no warning despite having a whole bunch of active devs working on the coin.
Off the top of my head could name a dozen inactive scam coins still listed on polo, raised support tickets asking why those coins weren't removed too. Was fruitless, but made me feel better.
In retrospect, it's not hard to understand really, they are terrified of the name.

Polo just looking after themselves, and rightly so. I'm not blaming them, they a huge US registered company, you think they want any association with Silkroad and Dread Pirate Roberts? That guy is a convicted criminal and will be in jail for life. Even when it's a ridiculous false association, still matters.

It's a proper move to rebranding, I strongly support. Reckon the tech is unique in crypto and you guys would have done well regardless, superficial as it is, simply changing name means a lot to outsiders.

I loved the camel personally, but shit changes, and you gotta deal with that, does anyone name their kid Adolf anymore? Fuck no.

Agreed, look at all the troubles everywhere else in crypto, I have no problem with them taking their time, do it right the first time hey.
I'll just keep stocking up coins.

It's the weekend dude? They seem to be up all hours making commits if you ask me.

Best code is written at 3am on a Tuesday anyways!

No offence to Factom, they may make a nice gui wallet themselves, but i'll probably just use the Exodus wallet to move FCT around, its ridiculously good looking and a solid platform. I may get burnt saying it now, but feel they take security seriously and are intent on making a decent product that will last, it's not just trying to be some flashy crypto fad, they are obviously in for the long haul.

Unsure about the built-in shapeshift when I can just send to an exchange instead and swap the same coins for a much smaller fee. But laziness always has a price, i may still use shapeshift for small amounts, assume that's what Exodus hope I will do.

Factoids aren't a currency like btc, it doesn't need it's own wallet in my opinion. Factoids are what people burn so they can use the Factom protocol.

Strongly accumulating these days. I like this price right now, is well below fair value. Coinmarketcap can't even keep up with the decreasing supply.

It's nice y'all did a poll but seriously it was always this weird symbolism hanging over the whole project the whole time, everyone knows it.

You lads solid and hard-working, that's plainly clear to anyone watching for longer than a week.
Consider hiring someone pro to do some serious branding for you, possibly for coin/equity. It's truly not going to be much in the end. Freelancer and odesk or whatever exists now. Think will be worth. My thoughts anyway.

Go strong lads.
Severed head out!

I think we've crossed streams here.

Polo has been decent in their response, and I think take it all seriously but OP raised proper points and has gotten his 0.2 btc bounty for pointing out a 200 btc problem.

As long as companies don't take these things seriously there'll always be incentive for good people to do the wrong thing.

For all the bad PR that's come up, polo should actually be grateful for this guy, he did good.

We are arguing man? I'm in complete agreeance.

As far as it stands now.

Yes.

So was it a risk or not? That's the real question.

Polo admits that mod escalation happened, this is admitted on both reddit and btctalk by legitimate spokepeople
Their problem is that no one 'informed them first', and that is what needs to be proven.
So where's the proof.
Emails or gtfo

Having a whole bunch of people in this thread abuse Factom offends me, these are good people involved with the coin, without a doubt. Look at their history.

The Factom ICO was well over a year. Draper just announced he would invest in the company last week which is what OP is complaining about.

These are totally different things and you are a complete idiot if you can't separate those facts from each other.

Peter Todd having a jab at Factom after someone mentioned them on the cryptography mailing list.
There's no argument made there that hasn't already been responded to at length by Deery and Snow a year ago. Having a coin attached to the protocol seems to be the main issue for him now?
That's not exactly surprising for someone who has a lengthy history of disliking altcoins by default.

Also equated Factom to Trillian, which I'm struggling to understand, I gave it a run from the github link and these two things are obviously very different entities.

Not sure if anyone from the company wants to counter this stuff considering it's all been answered at length ad nauseum.
Still, some really bizarre statements being made on a popular mailing list and possibly deserves attention.

Regardless, besides being a trader or getting good lending rates from polo (>80% p.a for me), anyone storing their coins on exchanges is asking for trouble.

There's no current danger.

It's just a huge question mark hanging over polo, and how seriously they take security?
OP has been upfront, notified polo a month ago, got a tiny bounty for one of the issues, and they won't respond about another vulnerability despite fixing that too

That pdf would sell on the darkweb for much more than 0.2 btc. I hope people here realise that.

Keen to hear Polo response.

As i said that's ripe to be exploited. Social engineering is one of the greatest threats. You could infect people with all sorts of malware, after that, loss of funds.

Do you also assert "OP cannot exploit any vulnerability against Poloniex that involves loss of funds"?

Because I'd say that's a straight up lie.

Moderator privilege escalation doesn't worry you? That's a social engineering disaster waiting to happen.

Sometimes no news is good news.

This.

Massive news. Agree with others that people invested in the team not the name. Coins change names all the time.

Surprised the feds didn't come knocking on your door at least once really.

Cheers mate!

How do I sell my Ardor?

What exchange will take it?
