I changed some Bitcoin to Ethereum but I don't know if it was a smart idea. Grin

Bought some NXT in 2014. Smiley
3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Waves hit $100 in this Year? on: February 22, 2018, 06:38:36 PM
Depends on future development, hope Waves will rule 2018. Grin
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will it give Waves a new strategy?? on: February 18, 2018, 05:21:59 AM
I don't think this will change anything concerning strategy. This way just represents the current Waves strategy.

On the long run this might be a very good coin.

what happened with IOTA?

Some guys thought it's a good idea to use an online service to generate their passwords. Grin

No. Your MyEtherWallet is absolutely safe, if you are using an encrypted UTC file, or better still use MetaMask Chrome add on. Hope this helps.

Obviously you didn't get the irony of his post. Smiley

Is the 1.5 billion USD figure based on blockchain analysis of coin movements?

I guess it's not based on anything, just a random number that sounds good. Grin

Adding a seed generator to the client some months ago when the problem became clear would have prevented this issue.

LOL it's saved in a wallet.dat file but that make no difference.
So why do you compare it then with IOTA? Apples and Oranges. And I can password protect my Bitcoin wallet. In IOTA I have to openly enter my private key, no protection at all.

I see you won't get it.

What point did you not understand? You need to use your private key, which they call seed, every time you want to log into your wallet.

I'm trying to explain it one last time. You also need your Bitcoin private keys every time you use your Bitcoin wallet. The Bitcoin wallet could easily send those private keys to anyone.

This is true, but the hack happened more than months ago, or did it happened again? IOTA is not safe, and that is why i do not like to keep it over the exchanges, because it is 10 times more risky than just having it on your wallet.

This happened 2 or 3 days ago. Short: They didn't fix it and now it exploded. Grin

Your Bitcoin private key stays private when your Bitcoin client doesn't send it to someone else. The same applies to IOTA.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IOTA - Thousands of Wallets Compromised and Funds Stolen on: January 21, 2018, 04:53:58 PM
Then stop exposing your privates keys to your Bitcoin wallet. Wink
What's that supposed to mean?

When you use the Bitcoin Core client for example, you have a wallet.dat file where your private keys are saved. You need this file to access your Bitcoins and by this, you expose your private keys to your Bitcoin wallet the same way that you enter a pass phrase to login to your IOTA account.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IOTA - Thousands of Wallets Compromised and Funds Stolen on: January 21, 2018, 04:01:31 PM
A private key should never be exposed to anything. Never

Then stop exposing your private keys to your Bitcoin wallet. Wink

Looks like they just ignored the users who told them to add a seed generator to the client. This would have easily prevented this situation.

Although it's still stupid to use an online service that generates your passwords. Grin

They warn the users AFTER their balances have been stolen. Grin
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IOTA - Thousands of Wallets Compromised and Funds Stolen on: January 21, 2018, 01:16:44 PM
Over $1.5billion stolen.

Really? How you know it was that much? This would be 20% of IOTA market cap.

Creating a Waves token is really easy, it's just one click and it costs 1 Wave.

This is one of the slowest videos I've ever seen, but besides that a great video. Grin
