From what I have seen over the years, most of the hacked exchanges are due to lack of security, as they say has happened with the last case, Livecoin, with Cryptopia something similar happened, although I think they were going to return the funds to users (we'll see if they do or not) although I've seen quite a few exit scams as well.

I suppose you already know Coingecko, its UI is much simpler and less loaded than Coinmarketcap, I personally like it a lot. Another option that I have been using for several weeks is Coinpaprika, it is relatively new and its UI and the way it treats the data reminds me of Coingecko, I like both sources.

When Bitcoin stabilizes or drops a bit, it will be time for Ethereum and others. History has proven it (almost always) and there is no reason why this time it should not happen again. Another possible scenario not wanted by anyone would be a large correction in Bitcoin and the total volume of money that leaves the market, which would cause everything to fall in a very similar way to how it happened throughout 2017.

I think the corrections are good and necessary so that the economic value is not inflated too artificially. With corrections it is more organic and more stable. As @rauchot says in 2021 there will be another pump, maybe sooner than we think.

It is a matter of time and patience to reach $40,000, but the question as always is when. I think that day is not far away and in 2021 we will see it, we will have to endure some corrections but I think it will work out well.

I just had a visit: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=profile;u=77687

I'm doing this thread after talking to members of the Idena team. The reason is simple, I think there should be information on altcoinstalks (the only thing I have found in this forum about Idena is a closed thread and some thread in languages that I do not know) about this innovative project which is very different from most, which prevents users from having bad intentions, in addition to having a truly innovative system.


Where to start?

1. Visit the idena.io website to learn more about the project and find out more.
2. You must download and install the Idena Node and Idena Client executable files at  https://idena.io/?view=download or build them from source at https://github.com/idena-network.
3. Subscribe to the Idena Announcements channel at https://t.me/IdenaAnnouncements to follow updates.
4. Join the Idena Telegram chat here https://t.me/IdenaNetworkPublic and follow the instructions in the pinned message.
5. Make sure your node is synchronized, and activate the invitation code. Check your identity status; it should be "Candidate". The invitation can not be activated in last 5 minutes before the validation.
6. Learning how to solve flips: read the article in our blog  https://medium.com/idena/how-to-prove-your-identity-anonymously-919bdfe5249a and test yourself https://flips.idena.io/?pass=idena.io

How to get validated?
1. Check the next validation time in the Idena app or at the website.
2. Your node must be fully synchronized before the session starts.
3. Your computer time must be synchronized with the internet time.
4. Solve the flips during the validation session. Be agile. The first 6 flips must be submitted in less than 2 minutes.

What's next?
1. Once your identity is validated, keep your node up and running in order to mine coins.
2. Learn how to create flips. Don't forget to create three fips  before the next validation in advance. Schedule your next validation.

I want to thank Andrew for sending me some invitations. There are 10 (there will be more) available, if you want an invitation write a post requesting it and I'll send it to you by PM. Remember that you must validate your invitation in idena.io before your node starts working.

For very simple reasons, here people talk, share information. The mods are normal people, they do not attack each other, they know that they are not gods, the information is well indexed and many other things, if I said everything I would be writing for hours...
