I believe PHANTOM is a nice addition to the ARK's ecosystem, adding a privacy layer as an option.

ARK's supporters should be supporting the projects which collaborate with ARK; too bad we have some people dreaming of jail times though.

Hopefully it will be an inside job, this has the highest chances of catching the thief. They can check logs, cameras, interrogate people, someone might know or might have seen something, someone might try something suspicious as flying to another country or buy a new house. Catching a hacker from the outside will be much harder... the best we could hope is that the funds are frozen the moment they enter another exchange and transferred back to Cryptopia/police.

And.... let's keep the conversation here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1669443.msg49345067#msg49345067 
This thread's subject is about the effect of BTC's price and after so many days I'd consider it finite.

I don't think it's an exit because with the listing fees they were charging (on top of the typical trading and withdraw fees) they should be doing well. I guess there's a slight chance that they sow their trading volumes diminishing and though it was now the time to exit with a BANG instead of waiting for a slow death, but the numbers I've found don't support this claim.

Trading volumes can be faked, I mean the exchange can trade against itself to generate a volume if they want, so I checked their website's analysis in comparison to Bittrex and a few other exchanges.
For example this is the link of the comparison against Bittrex: https://www.similarweb.com/website/bittrex.com?competitors=cryptopia.co.nz
As you can see they have a similar trend to Bittrex, though a 37% lower in traffic, Bittrex's traffic is falling a bit faster than Cryptopia's.

Ofcourse the most important factor is the volume and not how many people visit their site or how often they do so; nonetheless site traffic is a good measure as well and with such a big traffic there shouldn't be a reason for an exit.


The two most likely scenarios are a hack from the inside, from one of the employees... or a hack from the outside thanks to their bad infrastructure.
We can't know for sure if their infrastructure was bad, but if the many wallets in maintenance for weeks or even more than a month is a tell.....

I value cryptocurrencies in a different way,
The value of all of the world's coins and banknotes are roughly 8 trillions. People use these papers to buy goods, to save them in banks (and hope they'll be able to withdraw them without capital controls), to move inside a wallet which can be stolen, to send them overseas with high fees and with least a day's wait (if it's not a weekend or a holiday). People give these papers money allowing those with the printing machines to decide everyone's wealth and buying power.
If such a paper has a market cap of 8,000,000,000,000$, then how much should BTC have? On it's early stages, I'd say 1%, which is 80 billions. We've gone through this as expected but we reached 300 billions in a very short time, that was too soon too fast, but falling down to 60 billions instead of moving up to 2% of USD's market cap is "undervalued" in my eyes.

Then similar things can be said for different coins... for example compare the volume of XRP with the volume of WesternUnion and MoneyGram (I haven't done that though).
Or compare the amount of money that is spent in mobile games' microtransactiosn to the ETH transferred within DAPP games (I haven't done that either!).


I like to keep everything in perspective and compare things which are as similar as possible, that way I believe I can find where the price stands.
I also have made a thread about that: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5076475.msg48265856
If you believe that in a 100 years BTC can be as big as USD (which is at most 1/5 of the world's money), then BTC should increase by 80 billions every year on average.

I hope you didn't have all your money in Cryptopia, because in that case... good luck with buying the tickets to go catch them!

I wouldn't be surprised if we wouldn't see new ATH for the next 4 or 5 years... no that I believe it to be the most likely outcome, but still something that wouldn't surprise me.
In any case, even if there'll be a bullrun soon, it won't be for your beloved BCH, sorry!

Let's not confuse the bear trend with a consolidation phase or accumulation period.
I won't talk about the s***show we're experiencing right now, going from an overvalued BTC to an undervalued one, but in the 2013-2016 period this is what the chart shows...

Nov. 2013 - Jan. 2015 (about 14 months) the price fell quickly

Until Dec. 2016 there was a consolidation, though the exact dates can't be pinpointed.
Sure the price was steadily increasing but it was slowly going up while people were moving some money every month or so into BTC.
But we wouldn't call this a bull-run if we compare it to other runs.

I don't think this is OS related since I've noticed a lot of people mentioning it in the Discord.
Maybe it's natural for this algo? I don't know... I'm a hobbist 1-GPU miner !

Reply to what? "How to set a port"?


I might have misunderstood something, but if you're talking about the miner's settings then it's put after the pool's address like this: -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444
Is this really what you were asking?!

At first you weren't able to vote for delegates using ARK's wallet though. Not sure if it's now fixed, but if not then just use the Phantom's wallet just once in order to vote.

I don't like that their last update on twitter was on January 16th.
Though it might be because now it's up to the police to make announcements.

It starts with some very depressing graphs... everything's on the red! A great report overall!
The ICOs downfall is also interesting to see in a graph... and I'm glad they're failing, that way we'll get less scams and only projects with some serious proposals will run ICOs.

What I don't understand is the term "Pyramid-Scheme like applications" in the DAPP section. The only similar thing I know is called "Pyramid scams", is this what you mean? I don't know neither I can imagine what such an app would be like.

I kinda failed to be honest, I wasn't able to login the moment it went live and I sold a bit lower only to buy again at the same price.
Now it's higher but damn... my plan to sell high and buy after the selloff was over has failed miserably!

Never heard of this exchange... which foreshadows what I'm going to find out if I google it lol ! It doesn't exist anymore huh?

What was your experiences from previous hacks? I remember having heard of other exchanges being hacked in the past but reopening and I think most if not all exchanges had paid back people.

Okay, which and why?

Which coin is being deflated while time passes instead of inflating?
Which coin has a stronger and more experienced dev team support than XRP?
Which coin is faster than XRP?
Which coin is cheaper than XRP?
Which coin has significantly more liquidity than XRP?
Which coin has more collaborations around the world?

Sure, if you ABSOLUTELY want a decentralised network which is driven by community developers you have some good choices.
But then you probably have to deal with the price manipulation from the whales, depending on the coin.

So... which is the "any other good cryptoccurency"?

Jokes' aside, it's just another fake/useless account made to spam a specific Bounty campaign's page and keep it up in the list. That's such a nice way to promote your project! Must be a very trustworthy project.

Thanks for also sharing the hashes. It's a good practice to always check the checksum before downloading a wallet.
It's not impossible for their GitHub account to be hacked at some point and have a trojan version uploaded. But at the same time hacking their social media accounts and posting an announcement with fake hashes which also looks like a true announcement (with an image etc) is next impossible.

So before you install a newer wallet version from GitHub, use this site to check the downloaded file: https://emn178.github.io/online-tools/sha256_checksum.html

Guys don't bother making multiple accounts, ETHA's people aren't so stupid to pay you for the trouble of making multiple newbie accounts.
