The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

As far as I can tell, poloniex removes some xmr pairs, but introduces some new, like xmr/usdc. https://medium.com/circle-trader/now-live-nine-new-usdc-and-tether-margin-trading-pairs-50-off-margin-trading-fees-for-two-days-e4368cdde48cAlso i'm pretty sure, pairs like maid/xmr, nxt/xmr, bcn/xmr was never really active. To be clear, xmr with btc\usdt\usdc\eth is still tradeable on poloniex.

I have restored my Ledger Nano S seeds on another device. When I try to open the GUI with the new device, I get the following error message after entering the password:
"Couldn't open wallet: Wrong Device Status : SW=6930 (EXPECT=9000, MASK=ffff)"
Why is that? All works fine with the old device.
What version of the Ledger Monero app is running on the new device? v1.2.2 on the old device (working properly) v1.3.1 on the new device (with the error message)

I haven't cared about Polo since they stole my Monero's.
I hope they crash and burn.
Goldmann Ballsacks ruined them.

So they are delisting xmr without opening withdrawals? Does this means that they are simply cancelling everyone's xmr balance there without any compensation?

Any direct response to this blog by Monero devs already? On the same day, we tried to contact the Monero developers and disabled both the deposit and withdrawal. Do we know who they contacted? Would love to hear an answer from Monero devs side. Thanks!

So they are delisting xmr without opening withdrawals? Does this means that they are simply cancelling everyone's xmr balance there without any compensation? They claim they were hacked. Maybe this happened, we really have no way to know. If it did happen, then your XMR balance isn't there, the hackers took it. They want the Monero developers to cover what they claim to have lost to a hacker, which isn't going to happen even if the hack actually happened and even if it was partially due to a bug in the software, which again we really have no way to know. 1. See above link/discussion about the license terms explicitly ruling this out. 2. If the developers covered claimed losses by exchanges this would open up a vulnerability where any shady exchange could claim to have been 'hacked' and start making claims against the developers. Again, this isn't going to happen. When it comes to crypto exchanges, follow the ABC rule: Always Be Careful. Do not leave coins on an exchange any longer than necessary for trading. Use only exchanges that you trust not only to not steal your coins themselves but to have the technical competence, experience and processes in place to guard against hacks. Etc. For those who have lost coins to livecoin, cryptsy, cryptopia, MtGox, etc., etc. you have my condolences but also my suggestion to learn from these experiences and protect yourself better in the future. I very much doubt we have seen the last exchange hacks, 'hacks', and exit scams.

I very much doubt we have seen the last exchange hacks, 'hacks', and exit scams. What is really disconcerting about the news item is that Livecoin is insinuating that a Monero developer was probably involved in the exploit. I think their allegations teeter on the edge of of libel. What makes it more grievous is that Livecoin has a policy to freeze a users account if the user posts their allegations on the web. They will demand the user remove any "false statements" from the internet before giving them access to their funds.

It's too much information and a bad move theoretically. They have no reason to come out guns blazing at the devs outside of making their story sound better.

My opinion on this story - is not the right exchange. Even if it was really hacked, it was the exchange that should cover losses due to operating profit. Another thing is that things seem to go wrong with Livecoin, I would not trust my funds to this exchange.

Another thing is that things seem to go wrong with Livecoin, I would not trust my funds to this exchange. From the news on Livecoin.net, they claimed that they cover losses for their customers a few times, and ask for updates to avoid future hacks. They emphasized that they already paid for losses, and they don't have mistakes by delisting coin that might result in future hack and losses for both Livecoin and customers on their platform. However, I still don't know the truth of that news. In fact, which side has mistakes here, Livecoin.net or Monero team? When it comes to crypto exchanges, follow the ABC rule: Always Be Careful. Do not leave coins on an exchange any longer than necessary for trading.
I like that point on ABC rule.
