Just in case any of you guys still had coins on poswallet, but they were hacked in the last 12 hours and lost 9.3btc of coins, they are advising people to withdraw their coins from the site, i'd get any coins you have off there as soon as you can.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Thank you for this helpful information, since this is not an official announcement i think for credibility purpose; you need to post a link where the authority website had made the announcement. |

This is what people get if they store coins on centralized services.

Not your keys, not your coins!

Yeah it really doesnt look good for them, not sure if they are covering the loss or not but my balances where the same after the hack, i think they might struggle to come back from this |

All we love decentralized crypto currencies but why we put all of our coins to a centralized services such as Poswallet-Poloniex-Btc-e etc.?
we need to hold our coins in our own wallets.

So we would better store out coins locally . Buying a big disk computer will not cost us too much than losing money .Think about Mtgox , Cryptsy.

9.3 btc is not so much, some exchanges also lost coins by hack, so we'd better store coins ourselves, that's the safest. |

I don't understand how this coin could be a good investment? It is very common for exchanges to be hacked. It can cause its price to decrease sharply.
