As do I. They are probably safe enough on DGEX, but having to pay fees without warning is annoying when u're used to trading for free.
I don't mind the trading fee, btw, 0.17 % I can live with, but the withdrawal fees seem a bit out of order.

@Larue...I seem to recall that the guy running nxtchg threw his hands up in the air and quit earlier today.
Edited above line because he hadn't, nxtchg.com is still up.

Not so much untrustworthy, but they introduced fees very suddenly today with (afaik) no warning at all.
Been trading since the start without fees (except on fast withdrawal) but are now charging for trades and all withdrawals.

Fair enough, they gotta make money, but the timing could have been a lot better and it came as a big surprise to a lot of people, including me.

Then you maybe could re-name them:

NXTives?

Beerdives?

Maldklees?

Just caught up with the thread.....bloody hell, my head hurts.

That was an interesting day:

Bad stuff:
Disappointed by DGEX, confused by market, annoyed by trolls, people leaving NXT team, sold short into rising market, bought back just as the market fell, got punched in the nuts by one of my kids - still hurts........

Can someone just cut out the hassle and give me a huge pile of NXT so I can retire and not deal with this anymore?

Oh well, moan over.

Good stuff:

Market seems to be wobbly but stable so far.

Source code is getting positive feedback all over, no real interesting problems found so far.

Lots of new people showing up on the fora, means lots of new peeps coming into NXT.

Lots of attention for NXT


I'm going to say (cautiously) that today was, on balance, a success for NXT.

Onwards and upwards....




 

Looks like Frank won't be joining us.

I'll bring my own beer, tho, i"m running out of supermodels.

Activating stealth mode....

Ooops...I'm getting paranoid again.....it's been a long day.
I was hoping he was close by so I could go round to his house and express my irritation.
But, no, I don't have a clue.


Edit +1 to PaulyC, agree totally, amazing community response.

Hope you're not thinking of me again.....

Does anyone actually have a clue as to ETs geographical location?

He seems to have completely missed the point that Bitcoins utility and thus value lies in its use as a method of currency transfer.

As far as I can figure out, he sees Bitcoin as a simple commodity whose price in a competitive market will fall to cover the cost of manufacture + a small profit margin. Just like cars or toilet seats.

Miss the point much ?

(And he's got tenure, I don't bloody believe it.)

Only if u promise to walk it every day,  teach it to spell and clean out its cage.

Heres my piece of advice for today:

Don't Panic!

NXT is having a problem right now, but it's not a very big problem, if you can step back and look at it objectively.

 EpicThomas showed us how easy it is to release modified client software and exploit it to steal funds, but the NXT community jumped on it pretty quickly and came up with solutions, evidence, a suspect and froze the stolen funds out from the exchanges.  All inside a few hours of the 3rd or 4th theft report coming in.
Have any of the trolls/pessimists ever seen a faster response to a security issue in the crypto/IT world?  

And then everyone affected got compensated.....unbelievable, but true. Salute to gbeirn, u r a hero.

Just to put this into proportion: total stolen was 300 kNXT, which is only 0.03 % of the total supply.
There were approximately 10-20 accounts compromised, which is at most 0.3 % of all NXT accounts.

And we should (almost) thank EpicThomas for making everyone raise their security game, it will now be much harder for an attacker to distribute compromised software again. That attack vector is closed right now. And is not a problem that only affects NXT, btw, all cryptos are vulnerable to this sort of exploit, so watch out for dodgy DOGE wallets in the future.

Time for a Nietsche mis-quote: "Whatever doesn't kill you, only makes u more money"




@EpicThomas:
You and your stolen NXT arent going anywhere. You can't convert it into fiat currency without going thru an exchange or the NXT blockchain.
Someone, sooner or later, will figure out who u are in the real world and come round to your house.
I suggest you take rickyjames up on his offer, give it back, and u can go on with yr life without looking over yr shoulder all day.

I hope the OPs momma comes home and catches him doing this shit.

What an arsehole.

So to paraphrase EpicThomas:

U admit that u modifed and uploaded the client, but then some bad people took it over and stole the money.

Forgive me for not believing u very much.

Now this is gonna get interesting....

Not me, salsa, I'm an innocent bystander here.
Intel got EpicThomas and EvilDave mixed up for a moment in the heat of the fight.

So do we have any leads on the realworld ID and/or location of EpicThomas ?
I volunteer as part of a doorkicking crew if he's within a reasonable distance of Amsterdam.

@Damelon...thx for the quick correction, bro.

No problem, sent u a PM to say no hard feelings.
 
BTW, just need to say in public how impressed I am by the speedy and effective response of the NXT community to this issue. Good work, guys !

Onwards and upwards.....

Good plan, tho' in my case i"d be better off going to bed. Which is where i"m going.....

Checked my SHA256 hash, luckily I got the good client from the nextcoin thread, pays to update late sometimes.

Quick check for the non-evil client is size: 7.173.063 bytes and u are good.

Hmmm...I'm mostly not that evil  

And HappyCoins.nl actually are very good, low fees, fast delivery and u can pay using the Dutch iDeal system. I spit on PayPal.....

Still curious why my name is up in lights all of a sudden

Er...wtf?

Am i missing something?
