Unfortunately, you're probably out of luck. There hasn't been a single report of anyone successfully getting any transaction history apart from balances.

It's not fake FUD. It is an issue I have raised before. We should be conscious of it rather than dismissing it.
Well, we could decide to rename that thing - maybe just XEL? Or we could write it with a "k" at the end? We could also try to find out if this would be necessary first. It's up to you @community. Yes that would be one way to get round it. In fact I may be wrong but I think Elastic itself may be considered too generic to be copyrighted anyway. So Elastik (assuming nobody else has used it) would be better. Elastik.com is available for purchase ( https://uniregistry.com/market/domain/elastik.com). Of course, it's probably best to search trademarks databases (US / Europe, etc) and talk to a trademark specialist before doing anything like this. It might be cheaper to just research and create a new name that becomes valuable and unique to the project. There are naming consultants that help startups create unique names with domains and trademarks cleared. It's always an uphill battle to use a common word as a brand name. |

I'd also be interested in seeing an update to the Google spreadsheet. I was only able to get as far as having CoinmarketCapHTML and CoinmarketCAPTemporized sheets working.

I hold my ETH, I keep believe this is just a price correction and that we will not go under 0.01 BTC
Agreed. I expect to see a bit of a consolidation and price stabilization around 0.010 - 0.012 BTC. If it consolidates nicely, I personally expect to see it continue trending upward again. If it breaks 0.01 that would be a bearish signal. |

I love BTC, but mannnn XRP is looking really good these days. Perfect storm gathering for a massive price increase. I still hold onto some BTC just in case though, with the block halving and all. Good to diversify though! ETH had its fun, now it's XRP's turn.

Ripple as the network and RTXP as a protocol both are incredible pieces of technology... definitely a LOT of value in there. I'm a Bitcoiner same as the rest of you but I don't know how you guys can look at this with blinders on. I've read the Ripple whitepapers, used the system and researched the valuation basis in depth. There is actually something credible here. It's not Bitcoin, it's a little different, but it will be of tremendous value to the financial system. I am sure it will beat Bitcoin toward the goal of networking the world's currencies for fast value transfer while still saving money for the little guy. Ripple has already pulled ahead of Bitcoin in terms of connecting with banks and such.
1) you are no bitcoiner 2) go connect with banks 3) you sound like a whiny bitch "buy ripple please" 4) prostitutes earn a lot of money too. Should everyone be a prostitute now? 5) ripple is BS to speculate on - if you can make use of its services, sweet for you. But buying more than what you personally need (more than 5$ worth) is a very moronic idea. 6) advertising to people to speculate on ripple is unethical bahaviour. Do you realize that Ripple and XRP are separate things? Please point to where I proposed to buy XRP, because it's clearly not even mentioned. If you want to talk about Bitcoin, it would be worth almost $0 without the banks. Libertarians could go back to trading amongst themselves off-market but it is otherwise doomed without exchanges and connections to banking infrastructure. Most of the world's population is not interested in their money value gyrating out of control. They prefer stability of their national currency and Ripple simply connects points together like Bank A -> Bank B very quickly for these currencies to work together. Bitcoin can be exchanged too. Several Bitcoin exchanges are already connected and act as trading gateways. |

I love this about XRP. Didnt the owner of Alibaba Jack Ma imply that he had invested heavily in XRP earlier this summer? I believe he answered a journalist who asked him if he had invested in cryptos with "Yes, but NOT BTC!" and this was around the same time that a few banks had stated they would work with XRP...
No, he invested heavily in doge. A joke if he said he invested in Dogecoin over a system venture backed by about a dozen of the most high-profile Silicon Valley investment groups. I highly doubt that really happened. A joke would be anyone investing into a coin that's entirely owned by a small handful of people. May as well just be writing a cheque and mailing it as that is the end result because the Ripple whales are going to dump it down to $0 once the lock up agreement is over. Far more economical to fork Ripple and to poach the employees working for them or to hire your own. It's funny how Ripple gets so much critique on valuation. The ownership count doesn't mean anything. Small companies owned by a handful of people have often been valued at and sold for billions in Silicon Valley. Ever heard of YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc? |

Selling 5,000 STR for 0.08 BTC.
I have completed several positive trades on the forum already - good history and old account here.

So the secret project was another coin or what was it? I mean wow, I thought we'd be remaining in the Bitcoin ecosystem here. And altcoins don't exactly have the best reputation...
It's not quite just an "altcoin" if you read the full description of all the features. It's more of a platform for every currency to exist in harmoniously. |

Keep a sharp eye on Bitcoin on the week of July 27 - Aug 2 and Litecoin shortly after. If previous trends hold and continue, this is the time period to pay attention to.

Very nice platform. I really hope this ends in some good hands! It could really do some awesome stuff for the cryptocurrency space.

Hello, I want to make this a reality! I have started http://www.bitcoinsecuritystandards.org/ to give the security experts a place to discuss their ideas and the implementers a place to understand what, why, and how to secure their sites and services. Thank you, -- Thomas F. Hi Thomas, thank for your taking the effort to set that up! It's great to see. I had a small additional thought - what do you think about adding a wiki? This way all members of the community serious about this can participate in drafting some things together as a collaborative effort. The forums are nice for an informal place to chat around ideas but a wiki (or something similar) might be very helpful as a formal resource. |

Deloitte is a possibility of course for audits similar to traditional financial services companies, but then the issue arises around their expertise regarding the Bitcoin protocol, software and security practices of which they would have no clue how to handle. There may need to be a hybrid approach, or perhaps an entirely new compliance organization started with Bitcoin developers and security experts. As an example of such an individual, Andreas Antonopoulos recently did security checks for companies like Coinbase and Mt. Gox. |

very good idea. Isn't the bitcoin foundation thought to do something like this? At least I thought they might be interesting in doing such things but somehow one of the biggest failures was a gold member of them...
some addition: the granted award must be valid only for a limited period, lets say 6 months.
The Bitcoin Foundation's focus is on the Bitcoin protocol itself, in terms of standardizing, protecting and promoting it. External exchanges have never been a highlighted priority to date. The general consensus to date has been "it's a free market" so the exchanges decide their own standards and ways of doing business. Unfortunately we've seen a very poor security track record as a result. Now it's blown up into a bigger issue than most people imagined it would be. |

Due to the news of rampant thefts at Bitcoin exchanges this past week (Mt. Gox, Poloniex, Flexcoin) it is becoming apparent that there's a dire need for some security standards in the Bitcoin community to ensure compliance and build client trust. The media is jumping over every hack story that comes out and shouting that it's insecure. You can't blame people for thinking this way, because at this point it's a legitimate fear.
There is no question that we need a standard process for third party security experts to be able to review exchange processes and software from top to bottom. If you know of some sort of external security company that already does this, feel free to post.
Perhaps exchanges could be verified on a certain level of compliance and receive a letter or badge to post on their website for proof of audit. Maybe someone like Andreas Antonopoulos would be interested to open this discussion further.
Items to address in audit:
- Source code, deployment and version control procedures
- Bitcoin software and protocol implementation
- Server platform (software versions, port scanning, server logging, brute force protections, DDOS protection, backups, redundancy, etc)
- Emergency shutdown and startup procedures
- Physical security (security cameras, electronic facility monitoring, alarm systems, swipe-cards, etc)
- Use of AML / KYC procedures and encrypted offsite storage of client documents
- Offsite cold storage (multiple locations) and use of keys, with logs of all activity
- Onsite hot wallet and use of keys
- Minimum of email verification or 2-Factor Authentication mandatory for withdrawals on all client accounts
- Options for clients to set a withdrawal limit on their account (similar to a bank)
- Alerts available for unusual activity on client accounts, with additional verification option (email or phone call) in case of sudden large withdrawals
- Staff background checks
- Staff fraud prevention training
- On-site restrictions for staff electronics and storage devices
- Restricted access areas for developers and system-critical staff
- Procedures for reporting illegal or suspicious activity to law enforcement
I will add to this as more feedback comes in. PLEASE contribute! This is a great community and the development of this ecosystem is happening and will continue happening thanks to you!
