Ang isa pang exchange-based cryptocurrency exchange na Japan ay na-hack, na nawalan ng 6.7 bilyon yen (mga $ 60 milyon na halaga ng cryptocurrency), kasama ang 5,966 bitcoins.

Ang lisensiyadong palitan, na tinatawag na Zaif, ay pinatatakbo ng Tech Bureau. Sinabi nito sa Huwebes na ang palitan ang unang napansin ang isang di-pangkaraniwang pag-agos ng mga pondo sa platform sa paligid ng 17:00 oras ng Japan noong Setyembre 14, pagkatapos nito sinuspende ng kumpanya ang mga deposito ng asset at withdrawal.

Ipinaliwanag ng Tech Bureau na matapos ang karagdagang pagsisiyasat, natuklasan na ang mga hacker na may hindi awtorisadong pag-access sa mga hot wallet ng exchange ay nakawin ang halos $ 60 milyon sa bitcoin, bitcoin cash, at MonaCoin. Iyon ay sinabi, ang eksaktong halaga ng bitcoin cash ninakaw nananatiling hindi kilala.

Ang palitan ay idinagdag na dahil ang sariling reserba ng asset ay kasalukuyang mga 2.2 bilyon yen (o $ 20 milyon), ito ay umabot sa isang kasunduan sa isang kumpanya na nakarehistro sa Japan na tinatawag na Fisco upang makatanggap ng isang $ 44.5 milyong investment bilang kapalit ng isang malaking bahagi ng pagmamay-ari.

Sinabi ng Tech Bureau na binigyan ng likas na pag-access ng hindi awtorisadong pondo, isinampa nito ang insidente bilang isang kaso sa kriminal sa mga lokal na awtoridad para sa karagdagang imbestigasyon.

Ang insidente ay nagmamarka ng pangalawang pag-hack sa Japan sa taong ito, pagkatapos na iniulat ni Coincheck na ang isang napakalaki $ 520 milyon sa mga kanyid ng NEM ay ninakaw ng mga hacker noong Enero.

Kasunod ng hack ng Coincheck, ang Financial Services Agency (FSA) - pinansiyal na asong tagapagbantay ng Japan - ay naglunsad ng serye ng mga inspeksyon sa mga cryptocurrency exchanges sa bansa tungkol sa kanilang mga panukalang panseguridad.

Ang FSA ay may kapansin-pansin na nagbigay ng isang order sa pagpapabuti ng negosyo sa Tech Bureau noong Marso partikular na sa pag-aayos ng seguridad at anti-money laundering nito.

Once again in the world of cryptocurrency, we have a mystery on our hands.

A $720 million sleeping giant has woken up after four years, with $100 million moved to Bitfinex and Binance over the course of ten days at the end of August. The bitcoin wallet contains 111,114 BTC or 0.52% of the total supply. The sudden movement of these dormant funds could have a disruptive potential in the market price action, particularly if the funds belong to one of the two possible likely candidates suggested by Reddit sleuth u/sick_silk.

The Redditor brought the movement of the funds to the attention of the crypto community by publishing a series of posts tracking each transaction in detail accompanied with graphs representing the activity.

The first post was made on 31 August and suggested that the funds may be connected to the now-defunct dark web market Silk Road which handled the trade of billions of dollars worth of contraband such as recreational and prescription drugs, illegal weapons and pornography, malware, hacking services, guides to various types of criminal activity, and other black market goods and services.

u/Sick_Silk points out:

“It seems that the owner of a huge SilkRoad related wallet is moving funds actively since 3 days, dividing it in chunks of 100 coins by subwallets.

The original wallet owned 111,114.62 BTC / BCH , which is currently valuated ~ $844M (without taking in account other #Bitcoin forks).

Last movements on these subwallets are 4 years and 5 months old (March 9th, 2014).

The chunks have been divided over time to 60,000 coins then to 30,000 / 20,000 / 10,000 / 5,000 / 500 and now 100 coins.”

Sick_Silk connected the original address to the Silk Road via the following bitcointalk thread in which user assortmentofsorts connects the dots to from an address operated by DPR (Dread Pirate Roberts AKA Ross Ulbricht, creator of the Silk Road) to the one in the Reddit post over the course of six traced transaction.

Hi everyone. I hate to say it but im a newbie with regards to crypto wallets. I found this to be one of the best informative forums online so decided to register and drop a msg. So i've installed my bitcoin wallet. (bread wallet) to be precise and cant figure out how the satoshis or bitcoin are projected or receieved onto the wallet via the unique address. So in the case of mining for example.. Do they automaically sync into the wallet via the address when you  complete each task/mine etc or do you have to wait for a certain amount to build up before you can withdraw them to the wallet?. Ive done a few tasks here and there to test it out however when the wallet app syncs it still shows a 0.00 amount. Im entering the correct address.  Am i doing something wrong?. I need help with this. Hope i managed to explain this correctly. Cheers.

I believe Bitcoin Cash is a good "experiment" for scaling using bigger blocks, the same as my belief as Bitcoin is a good "experiment" on how to scale with a 2nd layer offchain network.

My debates with franky1 has opened my mind to their point of view. But why is it when the topic starts to sway on "why Bitcoin Cash does not need Roger Ver" the most ardent defenders of the coin stop debating?

Roger Ver has brought nothing but hate, misinformation, manipulation and confusion. Maybe the Bitcoin Cash community should move on and be better without him.

I am looking for real time data coin list, and so far the best I have found is coinmarketcap for it's 1h % change but I am looking for something more specific which I could set my own time frame and maybe link an exchange API. I'm sure it does exist, anyone knows of something like this???

If the ETF is not approved it will most probably not be approved for 3 years:
ETH has many many many technical issues that will take more than 2 years to resolve.
The only coin that has the vision, technical team and motivation to take the Number 1 spot is Cardano.
Cardano could potentially save the crypto space from never amounting to anything!
Cardano is Generation 3
Generation one and two failed to put this industry on its feet thus far!
Cardano is a steal at today’s prices

Does anyone here use your signature on an affiliate program? I see many signatures because of campaigns and bounties , but I was wondering how much using your own signature in good affiliate program (NOT campaigns or Bounties) is profitable in the long run?

Would it be more profitable to participate in a campaign or use in a particular way?

As I'm working on a betting project with bitcoins, as you can see from my subscription, I'm doing research to try to develop an affiliate program that is attractive for forum users to use on their signatures.

So suggestions are welcome!  Wink

Homero Joshua Garza, the CEO of the now-defunct U.S. crypto firm GAW Miners, has been sentenced to 21 months in prison for defrauding investors, local news agency Hartford Business reports Thursday, September 13.

Garza received the verdict in the Hartford federal court, following his guilty plea to a wire fraud charge related to creating and selling a scamcoin dubbed PayCoin (XPY).

Instead of serving the original 20 year sentence, Garza will report to prison on January 4, 2019 and be jailed until 2021, with an additional three years of supervised release, including six months in home detention.

In addition to prison time, the former CEO of GAW Miners will have to repay a $9.2 million restitution to investors, which is the approximate amount of financial damage wrought by the nine-month crypto scam.
