Fresh new update from Crytopia Twitter

Quote
Update: We are well aware of market volatility in Crypto, our next phase will be introducing cancel-only mode for users to cancel any positions accordingly before the trade engine is turned back on for trading. We aim to have this on the site in the next few days.

I dont like what is happening this time, the term in the next few days could translate into 10 or 20 more days.

Why don't they just cancel all trading order using their admin panel interface or they just really that incompetent in handling this situation.


or it could simply mean in the next few days  Roll Eyes

they have delivered so far on what they promised, so why doubt their stated intentions now?
the owners/founders are communicating with their users again in chatbox. they are not going anywhere.

Will Cryptopia Finally Reopen After $16M Hack?
Cryptopia, the New Zealand-based cryptocurrency exchange that suffered a $16 million hack in January was supposed to be relaunching the exchange on March 3. However, due to unforeseen delays, the relaunch was postponed and is now set to launch today, March 5.

Update: We were aiming to get the site live today however, we have had a slight delay and are aiming to have the site live tomorrow. We will keep you updated as this progresses.

— Cryptopia Exchange (@Cryptopia_NZ) March 4, 2019

Will Cryptopia Users Be Reimbursed for Stolen Funds?
The relaunch of the exchange is highly anticipated among existing Cryptopia users, as it will give them more information pertaining to their tokens held on the exchange during the hack.

As previously reported by IIB, over 76,000 Cryptopia wallets were compromised by the hack, in which attackers obtained the private keys and withdrew millions of dollars worth of tokens.

A recent update by Cryptopia states that a read-only site for existing Cryptopia users will be live today, March 5. Per the update, existing users are urged to use the site to reset passwords and 2FA credentials to prepare for the live relaunch of the exchange.

The update also revealed that the read-only site will be showing user balances as of January 14, 2019, the date of the initial Cryptopia hack. In the same update, Cryptopia noted that their team is finalizing a rebate process for affected users and will provide updates when possible.

The read only site will be live today, it will show balances as at 14th Jan 2019. Please use this site to reset passwords and 2FA credentials. We are finalising a rebate process for affected users, more details to follow. Thank you for your support during the last few weeks.

— Cryptopia Exchange (@Cryptopia_NZ) March 4, 2019

Following the update seen in the tweet above, Cryptopia addressed concerned Cryptopia users, stating that the balances shown on the live read-only site are pre-hack, and will be used as a baseline for calculating customer rebates moving forward.

It appears that Cryptopia users are in luck, as their stolen funds will purportedly be fully reimbursed.

Update: The read-only site is now live. The holding balance from the 14th Jan is pre hack and we will be using these holdings as a baseline for calculating rebates moving forwards.

Do you think the Cryptopia exchange will relaunch on March 5, or will there be more unforeseen delays? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

Cryptopia reopens, but investors in dark re hack

Christchurch-based cryptocurrency exchange Cryptopia has reopened, at least in a limited way.

But investors remain in the dark about whether they will get any of their stolen coins back.

Cryptocurrency experts have estimated that $23 million-worth of investors’ crypto coins could have been affected by the Jan. 14 hack, though the company has said only that in a “worst case” scenario, 9.4 percent of total holdings have been stolen.

Late last week, Cryptopia tweeted that a “read only” site would be live on Monday. Yesterday afternoon, for the first time in almost two months, long-suffering investors could log into their accounts.

However, the company warned they will only show balances as at Jan. 14, before the hack.

Cryptocurrency and tax specialist Campbell Pentney from law firm Bell Gully says users will be able to access their accounts, but no one will be able to transact or withdraw.

“But it’s positive that those using the exchange will be able to see their accounts and trading history. Many users will have upcoming tax obligations - for example, the New Zealand tax year is nearly at an end and many overseas investors may have tax returns due - and investors will want adequate records to establish their tax position.”  

However, as the site reopened several investors reported problems logging in, and others were frustrated at the continuing uncertainty.

“How do we know if we have lost our coins if it's pre-hack?” an investor called TronDogs tweeted.

“When will trading and withdrawal come back?" Wang Qi asked. "I hope it's not another two months waiting.”

No one from Cryptopia has been available for comment since the hack, despite police telling investors and media they should address questions to company executives.

Founders Rob Dawson and Adam Clark have not fronted up to investors who are worried about what’s lost and what might be recoverable.

“We are finalising a rebate process for affected users, more details to follow, Thank you for your support during the last few weeks,” was all the company said in yesterday's tweet.

“What is this ‘rebate’? Do we get our whole balance back?” investor Mohamad El Hout asked.

Tim Doyle, director of AgBiz Accountants, says some of his clients have been frustrated by being unable to log in to Cryptopia and access their trading history or know what coins remain on Cryptopia.

He welcomed the reopening of the exchange.

“To write off any Cryptopia coins, it would be prudent to ensure that they will not be recovered. Having the exchange reopen before 31 March should provide certainty for their 2019 tax returns and allow traders to write off any hacked coins for tax purposes.”

However, the basic concerns remain, Doyle says.

“There is still uncertainty to what the final outcome is for the hacked coins - for example what does 9.4 percent loss mean for each specific individual?”

HACKED CRYPTOPIA RESUMES WITH READ-ONLY WEBSITE

Cryptopia has announced that its read-only website is now live. The New Zealand-based cryptocurrency exchange platform suffered a hack back in mid-January, leading to the theft of about nine percent of the company’s funds.

CRYPTOPIA WEBSITE SHOWING PRE-HACK BALANCES
In a tweet published on Tuesday (March 5, 2019), Cryptopia announced that its read-only site is now online. According to the tweet, customers can view their pre-hack balances, which the company says it will use as “a baseline” for reimbursing those affected by the hack.

Update: The read-only site is now live. The holding balance from the 14th Jan is pre hack and we will be using these holdings as a baseline for calculating rebates moving forwards.

— Cryptopia Exchange (@Cryptopia_NZ) March 5, 2019

On Monday (March 4, 2019), the New Zealand-based Cryptopia had announced that customers might also use the read-only website to reset their two-factor authentication (2-FA) credentials and account passwords. The read-only site was initially supposed to go live on Sunday (March 3, 2019) but was pushed back due to some technical issues.

Based on previous statements released by the company, the launch of the read-only website also gives users the opportunity to monitor the company’s progress on securing its wallets. At the back-end of February 2019, Cryptopia revealed that it was in the process of transitioning its wallets to new secure servers.

After the first hack, Bitcoinist reported that the hackers resumed their attack. Some users, unbeknownst to them, continued to have funds deposited in wallets already under the control of the hackers. Cryptopia even alerted its customers back in February 2019 not to deposit funds into any old platform address.



REBATE PROCESS IMMINENT
The cryptocurrency exchange also announced there it would refund customers affected in the hack. The first attack saw the loss of more than $16 million worth of ETH tokens stolen. In the second attack, the hackers siphoned a further $180,000 in the second attack that occurred 15 days later.

Back in February 2019, Bitcoinist revealed that the hackers had been able to liquidate $3.2 million of the stolen cryptocurrency. In total, the company also said the attacks resulted in the loss of about 9.4 percent of all total funds.

The Cryptopia hack was the first in 2019 and once again stoked the flames of the debate concerning the most secure means of storing cryptocurrencies. In 2018, hackers stole almost $1 billion from cryptocurrency exchange platforms across the globe.

Cryptopia Website Goes Live After Slight Delay, User Balances Held from Pre-Hack State

Recently hacked crypto exchange Cryptopia has relaunched its website in a read only format, along with resuming user balances to its pre-hacked state, the exchange tweeted on March 5.

Following last week’s announcement of a March 4 launch date, Cryptopia has slightly delayed the relaunch by providing the live website on Tuesday, March 5, one day later.

In the latest series of tweets, Cryptopia confirmed it will be using customers’ balances held from Jan. 14 as a basis for further calculating rebates.

The exchange reported that they are finalizing a rebate process for affected users, planning to release more details soon. For now, Cryptopia recommended that customers reset their passwords and two-factor authentication credentials.

Following a $16 million hack in mid-January, Cryptopia had still remained in maintenance mode after the New Zealand Police reported that the exchange was ready to resume operations on Feb. 13. Responding to the news, Cryptoptia explained that it was not able to resume trading until the exchange can fully identify their losses and ensure that the balance is completely secure.

After the initial reports of the hack in the middle of January, further evidence surfaced that hackers were siphoning crypto out of the exchange as late as two weeks later.

In other exchange vulnerability news, on March 3, Ryo (RYO), a crypto project derived from Monero (XMR), published a post alleging that a bug in Monero wallet software could enable fake deposits to crypto exchanges. The described vulnerability, which is set to be patched in an upcoming release, could potentially allow hackers to fake a deposit of arbitrary amount of XMR to an exchange.

Cryptopia about to reopen web site as 'read only'

Cryptopia, the Christchurch-based cryptocurrency exchange closed down for a police investigation into a $23 million theft, will reopen as a "read only" web site.

Director Peter Dawson said the company would announce on Twitter that the Cryptopia web site was resuming so people could check their accounts.

"People will be able to see their balance. It's our objective to secure every client's assets as quickly as we can. I can't make any comment on what the police are doing."

Recent Cryptopia tweets said the exchange would reopen on March 4, but it never happened.

Dawson, whose son Rob Dawson was a founder of Cryptopia, had some personal fallout when another member of his local RSA requested that he stand down from his role as president until the police probe was completed.

Dawson said he didn't appreciate that his personal integrity had been questioned.
A company source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said 40 staff had been retained on full pay while the six-week police probe was under way, and management roles had been restructured.

But he questioned whether the reputational damage had been too much for trading to resume.

The most well known cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, which crashed last year from highs of US$20,000 to US$3700 with various analysts predicting a rebound. Cryptopia offered the largest trading volumes of alternative digital coins.

Several investors have expressed frustration about the lack of communication from Cryptopia.

US punter Leonard Dodd said he had about $2400 invested in alternative digital coin Electroneum.

He had been unable to access his account to find out if his investment had been stolen.

"They really messed me up to be honest. The distrust is huge now," Dodd said.

Meanwhile, a Financial Markets Authority spokesman said the police had contacted it and the FMA had offered any assistance it could.

"The FMA does not regulate Cryptopia or the cryptocurrencies that it trades, but those providing a financial service related to cryptocurrencies need to register on the Financial Services Providers Register – which enables customers to access an independent dispute resolution service."

The FMA published guidance on cryptocurrencies in 2017 and highlighted the problem of cyber-crime.

"The FMA has received complaints about Cryptopia in the past and these were either forwarded onto the dispute resolution service or the FMA explained to Cryptopia customers the process for making a complaint to the dispute resolution service.

"We also engaged with the dispute resolution service and with Cryptopia directly to understand how those complaints were being handled," the FMA said.

Hi guys, any news about bitsend tokens? They have been stolen also? Or it's possible recover it already? Thanks in advance for replies.

doesn't look like it, and funds have not been swept yet.  most likely the Cryptopia staff have not done that wallet yet.

A BITCOIN SATELLITE JUST TRANSMITTED THE ‘FIRST PEPE IN SPACE’
Esther Kim | Mar 01, 2019 | 04:00

Cryptocurrency industry figures were celebrating a tech innovation of a different kind this week after the Bitcoin network transmitted what many are calling the first space meme.

A MEME TO ‘GO DOWN IN HISTORY’
The latest first to come from Bitcoin development company Blockstream’s Satellite network, an unknown source sent the developer known as grubles an encrypted Pepe meme via the Lightning Network-powered setup.

Pepe, which has endured online and even offline as a popular – albeit not always positive – meme, appeared for grubles in the guise of Bitcoin Car Talk podcast presenter Mikeinspace.

The latter’s Twitter account is now known as ‘1st Pepe In Space.’

“This would be the first Pepe to be transmitted exclusively via satellite, and so it’s fitting that the card  relates to (Mikeinspace),” an accompanying transaction message reads.

So, I just received an encrypted Rare Pepe from space via the ⚡️-powered #SatelliteAPI 🛰️. #BlocksreamSatellite #SpacePepes 😂 pic.twitter.com/yC5Ns6j0Qz

— grubles (@notgrubles) February 27, 2019

The gesture gained immediate fame, with open source library and information resource Messari revealing Pepe was its most popular summary for February 28.

“Pretty sure this is going to be in the history textbooks for kids to study in Meme class,” Blockstream CEO Samson Mow added on Twitter.

BLOCKSTREAM TWEAKS INTERNETLESS BITCOIN TRANSACTIONS
As Bitcoinist reported, Blockstream Satellite broadcast its first message from outer space in January, in the form of a piece of text from an unnamed developer sent to grubles.

The implementation currently covers around 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, Blockstream aiming to expand it in order for anyone on the planet to send a Bitcoin transaction without internet access.

“Fees are paid using Lightning testnet (yes, that means free broadcasts!) and after a period of successful testing, the satellite API will switch to mainnet to become one of the world’s first bitcoin-powered satellite services,” the company confirmed revealing its user-oriented beta version in January.

Blockstream already offers various options for Bitcoin users interested in participating in the satellite network. Its official website tracks sent and queued satellite broadcasts, which are publicly visible.

This survey is run by Kraken and is not in any way affiliated with QuadrigaCX. Submissions will be passed on to the RCMP, FBI and other interested law enforcement agencies. Thank you for your assistance in solving this case and recovering the missing coins for Quadriga's creditors.
Background and $100K reward for information
About a month ago, on January 26, QuadrigaCX (a Canadian crypto exchange with clients around the world) suspended operations. Seven weeks prior, their CEO passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving the business without a continuity plan. Supposedly, he was the only person who knew the location of and/or could access the client funds (fiat and crypto) totaling approximately $190 million US dollars (belonging to 115,000 clients). Some say the events and circumstances surrounding this case are too suspicious to be believed.
Kraken wants to bring awareness and attention to this case, in hopes that we can help discover some or all of the missing client funds.

Listen and/or watch our podcast to hear the many facts of the case so you can help us solve this mystery. We reveal our own analysis and subjective assessment of the most plausible explanations or theories based on our experience as exchange operators.

Both found here: https://www.kraken.com/en-us/learn/podcast

After reviewing the episodes, do you know where the missing client funds are? Do you know who may know something that can help law enforcement locate the funds?

Kraken is offering up to a $100,000 USD reward for information leading to a significant break in the case or recovery of the missing client funds. It is up to Kraken's sole discretion which tips warrant a reward, if any. The total of all rewards will not exceed $100,000 USD. Kraken may end this reward program at any point in time. All leads collected by Kraken will be provided to the RCMP, FBI or other law enforcement authorities, who have an active interest in this case. More about Kraken at https://www.kraken.com

Cryptopia afaik has never said anything about haircuts. There are many ways to move forward and be a win-win for everyone.

Who remembers Bitfinex hack? They paid back what they owed with the BFX token and with shares. This is crypto after all, it allows creative solutions that benefit everyone.

Hacked Exchange Cryptopia Discloses Estimate of Stolen Crypto

Yogita Khatri
Feb 27, 2019 at 10:30 UTC  Updated Feb 27, 2019 at 10:38 UTC

New Zealand-based cryptocurrency exchange Cryptopia has given an idea of the losses arising from a hack on its platform last month.

After being almost silent since the breach, the firm published a series of updates via Twitter on Wednesday. Most notably, Cryptopia provided an update on how much of the total assets held by the platform was lost in the cyber-attack, saying:

    “We are continuing to work on assessing the impact incurred as a result of the hack in January. Currently, we have calculated that worst case 9.4% of our total holdings was stolen.”

It did not provide an idea of that amount in monetary terms.

Cryptopia went offline on Jan. 15 saying it had suffered a “security breach which resulted in significant losses.” The exchange did not provide any specific information at the time and has since said it cannot comment while an investigation by the New Zealand Police is underway.

A blockchain data analytics firm estimated after the attack that as much as $16 million in ether and ERC-20 tokens could have lost. Notably, hackers still had control over Cryptopia even after the police had been brought in and reportedly stole an additional 1,675 ether from 17,000 wallets – an amount worth about $181,000 at the time.

In Wednesday’s tweets, the exchange said it is “securing each wallet individually” to ensure it is “fully secure” when resuming trading.

Cryptopia also warned:

    “As a result of the new wallets please immediately refrain from depositing funds into old Cryptopia addresses. We have more updates to come tomorrow, keep an eye on our page.”

New Zealand Police said on Feb. 7 that it expected to complete the inspection of Cryptopia’s premises by mid-month. Cryptopia confirmed in a tweet on Feb. 14 that the police had given them access back to its building, while the investigation was continuing.

Detective inspector Greg Murton of the New Zealand Police said at the time that the case is “progressing well and advancing on several fronts,” adding:

    “The focus is on identifying those behind this offending and retrieving the stolen cryptocurrency. This investigation is expected to take a considerable amount of time to resolve due to the complexity of the cyber environment.”

Try getting listed at txbit.io , it's a new exchange, but I know the devs and they worked hard on it for over a year. (They hold another coin.)

Thanks Dabs, nice looking exchange for sure! However they have a listing fee of 1 btc. We do not have a budget for listing at this time.
Once BPN is implemented, we will have a self-funding mechanism built in (dev/foundation operated bpn's) so we may revisit this exchange at that time if it makes sense for Bullion.
That being said, we would love to find an opportunity presently for a listing that allows BTC/CBX trading in the US.
Crex and Nova are not accessible in the US and Coinbook only handles USD/CBX, so we are open to suggestions...

I have seen on twitter there is a new exchange called altilly.com.
they are offering a free listing for Cryptopia coins.  But only the official team members can apply for coin to be listed there.
I've never used them before but can't see any restrictions on who can use them. 

This is their tweet about it: https://twitter.com/altillycom/status/1093159271049629696 Smiley

NY Court postpones sentencing of BitFunder operator Jon Montroll (November 20, 2018) - https://financefeeds.com/ny-court-postpones-sentencing-bitfunder-operator-jon-montroll/
Judge Richard M. Berman of the New York Southern District Court has adjourned the sentencing to January 24, 2019.


Jon Montroll, operator of purported Bitcoin platform BitFunder, has obtained the Court’s approval of his request to have his sentencing postponed again.

The latest document filings with the New York Southern District Court show Judge Richard M. Berman has granted the defendant’s request. This means that sentencing is adjourned to January 24, 2019.

Montroll has asked for additional time to generate funds that are set to allow him to make a substantial payment towards his agreed-upon restitution obligation prior to sentencing. The defense counsel has explained that Montroll owns and operates two nursing homes in north Texas and expects to receive in December and January reimbursement for services rendered that will allow him to satisfy part of his restitution in advance of sentencing.

Montroll, a/k/a “Ukyo,” operated two online bitcoin services: WeExchange Australia, Pty. Ltd. (WeExchange) and BitFunder.com (BitFunder). WeExchange functioned as a bitcoin depository and currency exchange service. BitFunder facilitated the purchase and trading of virtual shares of business entities that listed their virtual shares on the BitFunder platform.

Between the launch of Bitfunder, in or about December 2012, and at least in or about July 2013, Montroll converted a portion of WeExchange users’ bitcoins to his personal use without the users’ knowledge or consent. He exchanged bitcoins taken from WeExchange into US dollars, then spent those funds on personal expenses, such as travel.

In addition, since July 18, 2013, Montroll has promoted a security referred to as “Ukyo.Loan.” He encouraged investors to “think of [Ukyo.Loan] as a sort of round-about investment” in BitFunder and WeExchange and, at the same time, described Ukyo.Loan as “a personal loan” and “for private investment purposes.”

During the summer of 2013, one or more individuals (the so-called “Hackers”) exploited a weakness in the BitFunder programming code to cause BitFunder to credit the Hackers with profits they did not, in fact, earn. As a result, the Hackers were able to wrongfully withdraw from WeExchange approximately 6,000 bitcoins, with the majority of those coins being wrongfully withdrawn between July 28, 2013, and July 31, 2013. Due to this “exploit”, BitFunder and WeExchange lacked the bitcoins necessary to cover what Montroll owed to users.

Montroll did not disclose what happened to users of BitFunder and WeExchange, or investors in Ukyo.Loan. Instead, he continued to promote and sell Ukyo.Loan to customers and, on at least one occasion, falsely represented to customers that BitFunder was commercially successful. As a result of his omissions and misrepresentations, the defendant raised approximately 978 bitcoins through Ukyo.Loan after his discovery of the Hackers’ actions.

In July this year, Montroll pleaded guilty to securities fraud and obstruction of justice.

The case is captioned USA v. Montroll (1:18-cr-00520).


“My dad likes to do magic for us” – kid writes to Court about his father accused of Bitcoin fraud (December 28, 2018) - https://financefeeds.com/dad-likes-magic-us-kid-writes-court-father-accused-bitcoin-fraud/
“My dad likes to do magic for us and other kids. This is the closest way I imagine my dad to lie” – says the son of Jon Montroll, accused of Bitcoin fraud.

All stories, including stories about fraud, have at least two sides. The FinanceFeeds team has been keeping an eye on cryptocurrency fraud cases and has been trying to provide as much detail as possible on some of the major enforcement actions in this respect. Nevertheless, FinanceFeeds’ managing editor has to admit that now and then, it is worth reminding ourselves that all those fraudsters and scammers are human beings too. This has been shown by the sentencing submission filed earlier this week by Jon Montroll, accused of Bitcoin fraud.

The defendant pleaded guilty to securities fraud and obstruction of justice in July this year. As the Court will soon decide on his penalty (he faces a substantial prison term), the defense seeks that the Court sentence Montroll to a period of probation together with conditions of home detention and community service to be determined by the Court.

The sentencing submission includes details about the legal grounds for the defense pushing for such a penalty. The document also includes dozens of letters from Montroll’s friends and community members speaking in his favor.

Montroll is a father to four children, ages to 8 through 12. Although Montroll did not ask for his children to write any letters, one of his sons did so. Below is an excerpt of this letter (the rest contains personal information which FinanceFeeds’ managing editor believes does not need to be disclosed).

“Dear Judge,

I heard my dad asking friends for letters that describe him. I wanted to write a letter too.

Dad told me he made the biggest mistake of his life years ago and now he has to be punished for it and said that we should learn from his mistakes and to not make them and to sure to always be honest. My dad likes to do magic for us and other kids. This is the closest way I imagine my dad to lie. He always shows us how tricks work so I am not sure that counts.

Dad is a kind forgiving father is always very cheerful and fun to be around. He plays games with us. He has taught valuable life lessons like don’t do drugs and don’t smoke. He shows us old and new moves and we always have the best Birthday and Christmas is incredible when things are sad…”

Back to adult reality, let’s note that the counts to which Montroll pleaded guilty and for which he has accepted responsibility are both Class C felonies. The rules provide for maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years. However, the defense notes that a probationary sentence of between one and five years is available.

Updated wallet is here for Windows and Linux. Mac will come soon.

This is a move from using litecoin 0.8.6.2 to litecoin 0.8.7.5 as a base, as well as a removal of most of the extra styling. The wallets should feel much more like a regular crypto wallet.

It should be fully compatible with existing wallets and contains several security updates (notably OpenSSL). If you've previously been running the 0.8.6.2 wallet from worldcoinproject, you should be able to run the new software without moving your data directory.

Since the network is so weak, I've upped the number of confirmations in the qt client to 6 to match litecoin. This doesn't affect worldcoind since it's only a UI flag to prevent a a user from spending coins too early.

Source code:
https://github.com/Worldcoin-Network/worldcoin

Wallets for Windows and Linux:
https://github.com/Worldcoin-Network/worldcoin/releases/tag/v0.8.7.5

These wallets should be considered beta and come with no warranty - I've done a bunch of testing on my machines and I haven't encountered any issues yet.


Good thinking but is it enough?   If WDC price ever rises, first greedy piece of shit to notice will 51% and doublespend it to a final death on exchanges Sad

just found this thread, i had inputs.io account with a significant balance and a coinlenders account and never received any message about this reimbursement. I checked my email that i used for them and nothing was ever received about this.  how real was this reimbursement?  Sad



Real enough I was reimbursed my full balance circa 1btc

Thats great you got most of your balance back.  I had a similar amount held there and would have claimed if I had been informed about it or past reimbursements(?).  Sad

just found this thread, i had inputs.io account with BTC in them and a coinlenders account and never received any message about this reimbursement. I checked my email that i used for them and nothing was ever received about this.  how real was this reimbursement?  Sad


I see that my coins have not moved from their addresses since inputs.io shut, which i assume means the privatekeys are lost?

what happened with the inputs.io addresses?  Is the BTC remaining in those addresses completely impossible to recover?

whos the weirdo spamming the blockchain with micro amounts of BLK, yes i am talking about you Mr "BEA7o32PdktoHiVy9fy3G2tw4TBTS85fxz", all these spam transactions, what were you trying to achieve here?   Cheesy


I am just searching for potencial vulnerability in algo) Nothing found yet

Smiley Cool, nice to know, i only noticed as i was syncing up the last week with my wallet to make another burn and it was taking ridiculous amount of time which i assume is due to all the block verification being done, large number of orphans showing in the log. 

amazing amount of transactions this month, i believe its an all time high for BLK, and total transaction volume on blockchain is probably higher then majority of altcoins for the last month. Smiley
