Bah disons que le mec qui a créé Stellar c'est un ancien fondateur de XRP/Ripple, il s'est embrouiller avec les autres fondateurs et donc pour les faire chier (et s'en mettre plein les proches) il a "fait" Stellar...

LOL, Stellar ce bon vieux scam 

I think this is a desperate move by Stellar. They are really eager push the price up again to attract investors. Having a 20B supply right now is a good call for them since the current market condition is not good and having tons of supply will just make their token more useless. I'm expecting more development rather than cutting the total supply. And also more marketing to attract more users of the platform.
Mass adoption is what Stellar needs. If stellar just follows the marketing path of Ripple, They will surely surpass them since XRP is a very centralized token.

Bon alors,
Le airdrop est annule (fait chier !!!)

These lumens might be distributed as airdrops, as on Keybase, or they might go towards more subtle forms of direct user support, like, offsetting onboarding (KYC) fees or deposit fees. The end goal of this allocation is twofold: to get more lumens out in the word, so people can use them. And to increase the number of people for whom Stellar is a day-to-day tool.

Il est vrai que plus je refléchis à cette idée, plus je la trouve ridicule. Pourtant, et bien qu'estimant avoir en général un bon esprit critique, quand j'ai lu l'article, je n'ai pas d'emblée rejeté cette thèse (sans y adhérer complètement non plus). Interessant du point de vue psychologique... Merci en tous les cas de m'avoir "recadré".

Not sure if it is a real employee's mistake. It looks like it's an issue with their servers, and I don't think someone would be dumb enough to just dox a bunch of emails. If he/she was though, god damn, I would not like to be him, don't think there is any way they keep their jobs.

To remedy this, we built an in-house system to handle the necessary rendering, translation, staging, and piecemeal (as not to trigger rate limits) sending of important email. BitMEX has not sent an email to every customer at once since 2017, and much has changed since then. When we initiated the send, it became clear that it would take upwards of 10 hours to complete, and there was a desire on the team to ensure users received the same material information on a more reasonable timescale.

To handle this, the tool was quickly rewritten to send single SendGrid API calls in batches of 1,000 addresses. Unfortunately, due to the time constraints, this was not put through our normal QA process. It was not immediately understood that the API call would create a literal concatenated “To:” field, leaking customer email addresses. As soon as we became aware, we immediately prevented further emails from being sent and have addressed the root cause. Since then we have been aiding all who have been affected as best we can and mitigating the damage to contain the leak.

BitMEX is a company that takes engineering seriously, and we are disappointed that this lapse in care has resulted in unwanted disclosure for our customers. We believe that processes, not engineers, are to blame for these failures. Our processes failed here. We are working around-the-clock to revamp them and to ensure that even the simplest-looking code changes are put under strict review.

Oui j'ai vu ça, même BFM en parlent :

Si elle est en liquidation, c'est le liquidateur qui gère ça.

Don't want to remember it but my email was leaked through this forum. And there were so much bruteforce attack on several of my accounts in different sites. I used to join every site with the single email and that leak made me change email on every sites. With two emails, there were different problems on syncing through my phone and accounts.
Now I'he made different email addresses for my personal and official use while others for crypto related sites.

Why do you guys like tron?

Haha merci ! J'avais du temps ce week end, et j'ai lancé un truc vite fait. N'étant pas trop doué en dessin, je me suis surpris moi même (tout est relatif hein  ) et ça m'a encouragé, j'ai du passer 5 ou 6 heures dessus mine de rien  

Je préfère presque la version 'raw' d'ailleurs (https://nsa40.casimages.com/img/2019/10/21/191021083600756988.jpg)

Edit : Ya que chez moi que le forum buggue un max depuis deux jours ? Je chope ça toutes les deux minutes : 'Down for maintenance, be back soon (503) The forum is down for maintenance. Try again in a few minutes.'

Here's my 2nd entry. (First one was : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.msg52809030#msg52809030)

Because Bitcointalk is the best place to built our knowledge together

Many members here will justify the reason behind bitcoin surge to be china decision to implement blockchain technology as it is center for btc mining and have great impact on prices in global market but what i think is that whales are once again trying to manipulate the market with crearing pump situations and then suddenly we can see fall in prices to lower level to make profits.So any possible reason coule justify this sudden price surge.

Oui c'est certain qu'il doit y en avoir des faux. Et oui il y a eu plusieurs vagues d'envoi.

Sinon je me faisais la réflexion qu'ils (potentiels hackers) n'ont pas à attendre forcément ce genre de leak pour collecter des adresses mails. Rien qu'en parcourant les spreadsheets de bounties je suis sûr que certains utilisent la même adresse pour les bounties/airdrops et les comptes d'exchange... Je serai curieux de savoir si cette fuite au final a débouché sur des vols.

To handle this, the tool was quickly rewritten to send single SendGrid API calls in batches of 1,000 addresses.

We cancelled requests from accounts that (i) did not have two-factor authentication, (ii) were withdrawing to a previously unseen Bitcoin address, (iii) were submitted with previously unseen new IP address, and (iv) were made after the email address disclosure had occurred.

As it became clear that several groups were working to collate BitMEX email addresses in order to attempt to compromise them, BitMEX engineers forced a password reset for all users with balances and without Two-Factor devices. Affected users were notified via email

Oui en effet, et par exemple Binance me bloque l'access a mon compte si je me connect depuis une nouvelle address IP.
Donc meme si il a le mot de passe, l'email et le 2fa il n'aura pas acces aux coins.

Et vu que mon password email et binance ne sont pas les meme, bonne chance.

1 service, 1 password, pas de reutilisation.

je m'arrache les cheveux a expliquer a ma femme que carambar56 n'est pas un bon password (elle l'utilise partout !!!)

(bon son password en vrais c'est pas carambar56 mais c'est vraiment pas plus complique que ca ... heureusement elle ne fais rien de crypto donc rien de vraiment mechant si elle se fait hacker)

What I meant option prices are dependent on volatility, while futures prices are not.
If Bitcoin is trading at 10,000 a future price is the same when volatility is at 20% or when it is at 80%.
The same is not true for options.
If Bitcoin is trading at 10,000 option prices (all of them) will be lower when volatility is at 20% compared to prices if volatility were at 80%.
Volatility is adding another risk factor to options trading.

Same for all the others factors I mentioned (time etc...)

Have you ever received a key that was supposed to have funds on it and paid for it without checking?
You're telling me that in a country on the brink of failure with no internet access you're going to deal with private keys based only on trust?
Seriously, let's be real here.

If I would have ever done this kind of deal the first thing would be to empty the address that belongs to that key, send the funds to a secure address wait for confirmation and only then pay the guy.
