Great talk and straight on point. The Dow dropped over 1,000 points and lost over $300 billion according to Fortune.com here but I don't see people calling it a "crash" Another example is Google, it lost $40 billion. Yes! you hear it right 40 billion dollars! Still some people believe it's all related to Tether. |

Lesson learned for people who are considering cryptocurrencies as an investment. Listening to the mainstream media words by words. Instead to consider and to use cryptos as what it is supposed to be, without giving a sh*t to the cryptocurrencies purposes.
I too couldn't agree more with @crazyivan and @OmegaStarScream. Oh well, you know the adage: don't invest what you can't afford to loose.
Keep panicking as long as you want, people who really believe in cryptocurrencies know what to do

@kalabele - They should work with all merchants
I don't think you will find any. Some merchants accept only a card issued from your own country. So if you're trying to buy something using a card issued from Gibraltar for example (which was the case with Advcash) The payment will be rejected. There isn't a lot of merchants refusing but a perfect example of this situation is when you're paying a mobile contract/or bill. As well don't forget that some of them accept only 3D secure cards. |

I suppose this is the message people get when they're banned? Usually, the bans are permanent here, especially if it's because the members spam, copy paste. Other than that it's difficult to be banned in this forum. If it's because the account ("of your friend") has been compromised/hacked it is explained here > Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords |

There is no warning at all: the only one is you, helping to spread the panic. Ripple can make whatever it want, it's not because it has a partnership with Sir or Miss that it's going to change something to Bitcoin. There are several cryptocurrencies in partnership then what? I am going to tell you: Nothing express.co.uk you say  see this.... 1) https://i.imgur.com/xiBzyc0.gif2)  |

We have been doing our research on where to Incorporate?
checking whether our token meet the howey test elements.
Can the veterans please guide us navigate this by pointing out to good information which we can use to educate ourself and then use an attorney?
Thanks
Merritos
Are you looking for the USA only? As you mention the howey test. It depends if it's an "Investment Tokens" or "Product-Use Tokens". Otherwise, I suppose you can do it in Estonia if you're looking for a country in Europe. The country itself created its own ICO (Estcoin or something like that) The country is friendly when it's about a legal corporation and it's easy as everything can be done in English there. A resident doesn't even need to speak Estonian.When you have a question or problem, you can send an email in English and they reply back in 24 hours lol. You don't need to visit the country, you can apply online for the e-residency and do everything you want online |

That is the society in which we currently live: Power is in the hands of a few and where the social structure is based on depositing trust in guarantor and centralized organisms, outside of them, is unthinkable. Politics, laws, FREEDOM, communications, TRUST, INTEGRITY, HONESTY, BUSINESS, production and distribution, at the speed of electrons, in the hands of the people, and not only of authorities. Centralization is inefficient, bureaucratic, and concentrates power in a minority elite. However, an analogous society was required for our evolution, but it is no longer necessary in the digital world where cleverly used technology returns power to people, and generates trust and cohesion in a more agile and effective way.
Society 3.0 does not need oppressive entities that limit its action, by itself it regulates itself and discards what does not allow its development. This is blockchain.
In Switzerland, there is a government of course, but when they want to introduce a new law, regulation, etc, do you know what they do? A referendum and every citizen is welcome to give their vote on a particular proposal to say yes or no. They have a referendum on almost anything. So a society without a "Power is in the hands of a few" is possible, but if the citizens don't really care then there is not much to do BTW, I just finished to read the article on futurism.com posted in the OP, it's a very good article to read. |

Has anyone been affected by this and would it now be a good time to buy another hardware wallet?
Also it I've been reading where it says to press the monitor before sending and receiving to verify your address is correct is that true as well?
What the hell is going on?
Ledger didn't receive a "wallet attack". A vector has been discovered last month with the Google Chrome application. Nobody has been affected currently (or at least it has not been found on the web). People using the hardware just need to validate the integrity of the address. (Checking if the address is correct, like you are always supposed to do, no matter the support used). https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2878882.msg29653349#msg29653349 |

Yes, it's the Ledger Chrome App and not the device. I haven't been specific enough in the original post, sorry.

Ben une adresse Bitcoin c'est juste un identificateur qui utilise des characteres alphanumeriques. Elle peut avoir plusieurs formats et different préfixes: 1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx bc1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (et même m-n-2-K-L-9-c... mais bon un peu inutile ici) Une adresse avec comme péfixe 1 = Pubkey hash (P2PKH address) https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction#Pay-to-PubkeyHashUne adresse avec comme péfixe 3 = Script hash (P2SH address) https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Pay_to_script_hashUne adresse avec comme péfixe bc1 = P2WPKH https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bech32Les adresses natives P2WPKH (Pay-To-Witness-Public-Key-Hash) sont codées en Bech32 d'ou le “bc” ( et “tb” pour le testnet) Une adresse avec comme préfixe bc1 est une adresse segwit native. (A noter qu'une adresse avec comme préfixe 3 peut l'être aussi mais ne sera pas "native" c'est une adresse Segwit mais imbriquées dans une adresse P2SH classique "segwit-in-p2sh/P2SH-P2WPKH") Je n'utilise pas Electrum car bc1 only et je prefere pour l instant les adresses avec 3 ce que j'ai avec un Ledger Nano S Vous devez créer un nouveau portefeuille et accepter l'option de générer un portefeuille segWit. C'est pas une option que vous allez voir soudainement dans le wallet  (A noter que les bc1 ne sont pas encore compatible partout, d ou la raison d'utiliser une 3) |

I don't get it why people constantly talk about Tether being a problem now, while it has been a potential problem for more than a year now. In other words, Tether right now isn't more of a potential threat than it was a good year ago Even one year ago I have not really understood how Tether could be a threat, because I don't think so. But I agree with the rest of your comment. - On Friday, many virtual coins saw a violent sell-off with billions of dollars wiped off of the entire cryptocurrency market.[1] Isn't Friday the day when Bitcoin jumped from ~$8,000 to ~$9,500? If so then it's quite the opposite of what is mentionned. -- Experts have cited worries over tighter regulation and concern that a digital coin called tether could destabilize the cryptocurrency market.[2]
Experts from CNBC.com? I didn't read the article fully but CNBC.com is one of the last media to listen to. I mean seriously. As I said yesterday you can become homeless if you listen to them.  |

It's not just Ledger users. This MITM vulnerability affects all hardware wallets.
I'm gonna keep saying it: Stop storing anything you aren't willing to lose on hardware wallets. Use them for limited funds only. They have huge attack surfaces and they are not well-tested. And frankly, it should be common sense not to plug all your keys into a live computer.
But for example, Trezor wallet users are enforced to use 2FA for the address used to receive. You can have your own opinion of course but hardware wallets are still one of the best methods to use and a lot better than storing on a web-based wallet lol, (which the majority does). |

The reunification of the currency is certainly good, but this is hard to come by because it means that all countries on earth have an alliance or just one country left, just like the EU. The former approach is basically impossible because countries have different views Different habits, and then one, for the time being, every nation has such abilities.
Then, ask to European citizens what do they think about the EUR currency and how it has badly affected their purchase power. Or how the Europeans laws are killing the countries economy and why most European citizens now regret their own currency and would like to go back.. |

An attack vector has been found last month. Nothing really critical. Users can easily be safe if they double check: Users need to validate the integrity of the address before, as a precaution. (if using ethereum app better to use Live CD O.S.) More details can be found in this PDF hereThe Attack
Ledger wallets generates the displayed receive address using JavaScript code running on the host machine.
This means that a malware can simply replace the code responsible for generating the receive address with its own address, causing all future deposits to be sent to the attacker.
Because receive addresses are consistently changing as part of the usual activity of the wallet, the user has no trivial way (like recognizing his address) to verify the integrity of the receive address.
As far as he knows, the displayed receive address is his actual receive address  What Makes This Even Worse- All the ledger wallet software is located in the AppData folder, meaning that even an unprivileged malware can modify them (no need to gain administrative rights).
- The ledger wallet doesn’t implement any integrity-check/anti-tampering to its source files, meaning they can be modified by anyone.
- All the malware needs to do is replace one line of code in the ledger software, this can be achieved with less than 10 lines of python code.
- New ledger users would typically send all their funds to the wallet once initialized. If the machine was pre-infected, this first transaction may be compromised causing the user to lose all of his funds.
- The attack changes the receive address during its generation, causing even the automatically generated QR to be updated to the attacker’s address. Meaning that both the string and QR representations of the address are compromised.
Advice for Existing Ledger CustomersIf you’re using the Bitcoin App – Before every receive transaction validate the integrity of the address using the monitor button.
If you’re using the Ethereum App – Treat the ledger hardware wallet the same as any other software based wallet, and use it only on a Live CD operating system that is guaranteed to be malware-free. At
least until this issue receives some kind of fix.  |
