This coin deserves much more attention and value. It doesn't waste electricity unlike most coins. Zero premine and no financial backing mean there is no promotion or infrastructure. Sad but true.

Fun time. 42 BTC buy order up to 33k sats for no reason unless there is something we don't know.

Maybe you are right. I'm still holding some Halcyon, but I don't expect much from this.
You can stake some more for now. Exchange isn't a problem. This coin needs some refresh, maybe a niche market or something. The internal coin mechanics is good. |

Halcyon is dead, so no point for Exchange.
Dead coins look far worse. I know the dev has plans for it. Those with large holdings in HAL should communicate and work out a strategy. |

Asked Bittrex to list HAL again, anyone else to do the same? Maybe tweet them @BittrexExchange?

Where
did
Mullick
go ?
Back to Minneapolis most likely. He is no longer employed by Cryptsy. |

Logged in 3 hours ago, estimated BTC value of 1.1 BTC (MEC + NXT alts)
Logged in 1 min ago, estimated BTC value 0.45 BTC. Looked into it, all my 17K MEC = GONE
I already didn't had any hopes anymore to get my money back, but it looks like the clusterfuck goes on.. wondering how many other people are now getting their alts stolen..
They canceled all orders, though didn't return these coins to balance. Maybe later. |

Well fuck.... I don't even know what to say...
I found out about the blog post when a customer called me and told me it was up. I found that irritating to say the least....
Again, I never worked with any wallets, had access to any wallets or any code. I ran investigations and customer end security ( like 2fa and getting back into hacked accounts)
This is a really shitty situation. I understand people are upset and have every right to be. I admit, I drank the koolaid and when people told me things were alright, I believed them whole heartedly. I don't know code or hardware at all, so when I was told it was a technical issue, I had faith.
Now I just look like an asshole for believing it, and for that I do apologize. Since I heard about this, Ive been sifting through dozens of emails from people with "tips" and it is exhausting to say the least. Although I am no longer paid by Cryptsy, I feel an obligation to try me best to help locate coins, whoever may have them.
In the mean time I don't mind trying to answer any questions I can and I know trolls are gonna troll hard at the moment. I'd be trolling too so I can't blame them.
I've always tried to help people since starting at Cryptsy and I find it a real shame it's come to an end like this.
I believe you. I also believe that Mullick did nothing wrong too. He had no business being responsible for the security of wallets, which is how i've always felt. Bare mimimum C++ expertise is required. People don't realize how easy it is to obfuscate C++. many of the backdoor's ive seen i wouldn't even have known they were there without someone pointing out the use of a disguised Macro. Hopefully future exchanges will hire an actual expert. Those macros and code they executed looked weird. Of course if someone throws a bunch of files at you and says to go solve a puzzle to find a backdoor, it isn't a trivial task which may take days to complete. However the hacker told he was after a simple IRC fix which is just a few obvious lines of code replaced. Did he miss the fork button on GitHub in the process? And no one cared to educate him quickly? Yeah, right. |

I guess the only person who can really shed light on what's happened at Cryptsy 1.5 years ago is Nicholas Mullesch aka Mullick. He supervised all coin daemons running there. The feds would like to talk to him for sure. Soon.

Show of hands ? How many people are genuinely surprised ? About time they came clean. I am a bit surprised how utterly idiotic this is. Poor security practices, trying to conceal huge loss, letting the site bomb completely before coming clean... but yeah, a hack was something most predicted. Ya like he takes a pre-compiled LuckCoin wallet and runs it on his machine with ties to millions in customer funds ? Further more i already heard waaaay back that they have to compile the wallets themselves so that has to be a lie ! No real exchange runs precompiled wallets. First, they use Linux for backends. Windows is plain insecure. Second, to fire up a wallet released by an unknown dev without a code review? Never going to happen. If Mullick reviewed the code on every wallet then he was one fast motherfucker. He was a slow one actually. However he didn't need to do a complete review on every wallet update. He only needed to browse though those last commits. Look at that shitcoin: https://github.com/alerj78/lucky7coin/commits/masterTwo last ones are harmless, however "Import lucky7coin" is fishy. Not a fork, not a rebase, just an import of who knows what. If they let it in, they were idiots in crypto business. |

This BigVern's story is an utter bullshit.
1. How come he could run BTC, LTC and some unknown shitcoin wallets within the same physical machine AND virtual machine? I don't do this even on my desktop!
2. 13,000 BTC and 300,000 LTC in HOT wallets? BTC was about $580 and LTC $7.5 at the alleged theft time. That's a grand total of nearly $10 million! Again, in hot wallets? Are you fucking kidding me?
3. All wallets on exchange MUST be encrypted with their keys stored elsewhere in top security. Even if a wallet server is compromised, nothing can be sent out without knowledge of these keys. That's a no-brainer.

Давайте давайте, веселее подключаемся к подписной компании, вас ждут приятные подарки!
какие?)) Выдадут значок ударника коммунистического труда, объявят благодарность и повесят на доску почёта. Вот клоуны. Вас никто не заставляет участвовать. Нет подписи, чего теряешь? Войти на старте в проект который может дать неплохой выхлоп это разве не отличная идея? Логика вкладчика в пирамиду типа МММ. Только помните, что всё уже украдено поделено до вас. 5 тысяч избранных непонятно кем и как для дропа монет -- это отличный развод лохов напёрсточниками. Там будут почти все подставные, фиг проверишь, но сотню-другую "полезных идиотов" оставят, чтоб постили радостные комменты. |

AFAIR there is no minimum or maximum, it all depends on difficulty and pure luck. For example, I solo mined a bunch of inputs 5 HAL each and left them in my wallet. I was kinda surprised to see them staking. If one hits a stake, it gets joined by 9 similarly sized inputs and a small interest like 1 HAL due to low weight producing an output of 51 HAL or something. So yeah, staking works even for small coins.
Weight stops increasing after 7.5 days. The coins just keep going with the max accumulated age until they stake.
I think some coins can be donated to gamers. I'm just not sure how to manage this process.

Are you kind of surprised? This guy is the original author of LMDB. Sure thing he promotes it. |

Native wallet GUIs for Windows, OS X, *nix, and *BSD That is interesting. No one that I know of has bothered to make a wallet for BSD let alone a gui wallet. Watching. That's bullshit. FreeBSD runs a generic daemon and Qt GUI just as good as Linux. Devs don't bother to release binaries for these because of tiny user base. |

Buy coins! Soon pampas)))
No, it's gone to pampas to never return. |
