All exchanges have been contacted currently Coin-swap is the only exchange open.

OPAL is not in the business of regulating user behavior  

I think people have to get into habit of posting MD5 hash signature of wallets in the binary form and better even for ultra secure minded building wallets from github sources direct at least early adapters as we all are, later on during adaptation phase wallets will be treated as any other software and public is already educated on virus scanners and the like, I don't think it is big deal at all and I believe exhanges overreacted as they are building wallets themselves from github are in in 0 danger, it is an extra caution, maybe it is ok they overreact I am certainly not rushing to trade OPAL any time soon, way too early like years early

[aragoon]

Not regulating but good to see experienced users willing to be helpful to others and not just sitting in high judgement. We all had to start somewhere and we can all make mistakes. Many face slap.  The Opal community and devs came out well during this.

of course, I applaud this as well, my interest is longevity of this technology (as an early investors) and I like applying blockchain idea to concepts other (or in addition to) money transfer

to me it sounds like that. tbh, a pretty good deal considering it wasnt the opal teams fault at all.

Why in the world would you download a wallet from a random person?
There's no excuse for that guys.
Development team doesn't have to do nothing about that to be honest. It's up to them if they want to help in current situation.

NEVER download things without scanning them. Especially in this forum. There have been way too many topics with trojans.

Whatever result devs bring, good luck. They're in a hard position right now and they are investing their own time to fix the situation.

Any malwares can be crypted then bypass all the antivirus.

The only viable solution is to do nothing.  Those that used the infected wallet and lost their coins are SOL.  Rolling back the blockchain is a terrible way to correct user ignorance.  The fact that you actually considered rolling back the blockchain is concerning.  You don't roll back the blockchain because people run an infected wallet posted by some user in the thread.  On the rare occasions where it is necessary it should only be used  due to actual technical issues with the coin.  That isn't the case here.

You don't realize.... the attacker quoted the devs then he changed the link in the quote, so many people think that it was the original link, not everybody know that we can make a yahoo.com hyperlink with a redirection on google.com

After all, if the malware is crypted you cannot detect anything using antivirus, the real problem is why bitcointalk allow user to make a Yahoo.com hyperlink able to redirect on google.com ? they are even not able to create and secure a avatar function, dudes

But yes i agree, users are not 100% innocents.

Glad to see the rollback will not be taking place, have a new article while you're at it!

[raimch89]

how many coins lost for opal users?

[fontline]

about 800.000 are lost.

glad to see no rollback. opal forever

[3rdStryker]

I actually lost $1200 Australian dollars worth of fuel coins due to the fake wallet so It's more than just opal coins.

[fontline]

true. i also read about lost vior and vericoins so as block

[raimch89]

800 000 lost or they can appear one day on the market?

[ASICrefugee]

800 000 lost or they can appear one day on the market?

They WILL appear on the market - the 800k coins was the scammers price for not having to do the rollback.
He has "promised" not to dump and crash the market, but we'll have to wait and see on that one, eh?
What is the word of a thief worth?

[raimch89]

poloniex ok but bittrex still desabled

[Voidlord]

So if i lost 100000, I get back 65000?

... 65% of the funds being returned to the Opal team, which will be returned to their rightful owners proportionally....

Basically yes.
Don't worry for this 35% loss :
if we look the 10 most closest coins (supply/price, i add Marketcap, without considering the opal features, devs...):

Darkcoin:   22,000,000 coins.   price: 0,005880 BTC. Marketcap: $ 9,302,095
Fuelcoin:  100,000,000 coins.  price: 0,000160 BTC.  Marketcap: $ 5,531,030
YBcoin:    200,000,000 coins.  price: 0,000910 BTC.  Marketcap: $ 2,551,401
Storjcoin: 500,000,000 coins.  price: 0,000140 BTC.  Marketcap: $ 1,841,952

Viacoin :     92,000,000 coins. price:  0,000095 BTC.  Marketcap: $   386,440

we have an average of:
Average:116,480,000 coins. price:0,000879  BTC. Marketcap:  $ 2,446,861              
and
Opal (new) : 15,000,000 coins. price: 0,000028 BTC.   Marketcap   $   135,158

it is just a crude view but Opal can easily aim 0,0002
which is more than 7 times the actual price.

Just download the latest wallet from opal-coin.com, DONT'T delete your wallet.dat. You shouldn't have to delete and re-download the chain.
