[ANN] Halcyon v1.1.1.0 ~ NeoScrypt PoW and up to 100% PoS

Is this coin still tradeable places? besides the novaexchange? I would like to get some to trade if there's somewhere I can get them?

On Altilly you can trade vs ETH and XQR.

Hi! I hope everyone's doing good! The exchange Altilly added something called Investbox today, it let users create custom investment fund. I've created a 7% APY fund of 1000HAL up for grab until dec. 31st. Cool little feature!

Is it like a way to borrow coins for short and long positions?

Not really, it is more like staking directly on the exchange, but user-sponsored and custom terms.

Good news, you can now trade HAL vs BTC at FreiExchange:

Just give it some time because at the moment I write this the HAL wallet at FreiExchange is syncing.

That's a good news. FreiExchange is the place to trade those old school coins. HAL/BTC was the primary trading pair in times of Bittrex, Cryptsy and Cryptopia.

Altilly allegedly hacked. Rip another exchange.

They may come back. We'll see in a week or so.

Halcyon v1.1.1.0 has been released.

It's a mandatory update for pools and exchanges addressing a critical vulnerability. There was a bug in block verification code that originated from PPC. It affected only hybrid PoW/PoS coins. It could never make itself to the block chain under normal circumstances. Someone could generate a PoW block with a valid coin base, a valid regular tx, and a rogue coin stake or even a few. The block verification code did not check for such injected coin stakes. What was even worse, it didn't check output values at all. A tx with a million coins output basically out of thin air was perfectly acceptable, though it would be never accepted to a mempool. The attacker had to compose a PoW block, mine it and broadcast to the network.

Windows and Mac binaries coming.

Thanks for the update @ghostlander

Just in case any of you here expect a refund from Altilly. If you don't have all their deposit confirmation emails, they give you nothing. That's a scam.

Halcyon has quietly become 9 years old.
