An atomic swap is a trustless exchange of different cryptocurrencies directly between the transacting parties, e.g., no trusted third-party in the middle. The ‘atomic’ part of it refers to the fact the transaction is guaranteed to either proceed to completion or fail entirely, and in the latter case, funds from each respective party remain secure. link text

I wish I had more muscles for programming. Just a thought about wallets where cash value could also be shown rounded to exchange prices. Senders and receivers would know the cash value of transactions, aside from the amount of FTC

The post I resteemed is a big deal! I have heard from many people that have been taken by this scam.

Basically most people I have talked to are searching for bittrex on a browser on their phone. The fake site has one letter off and looks pretty authentic. It pretends you have login problems at first, and then requests your 2nd device authentication code. As soon as you put that in they go to work selling all your crypto. I have heard it is taking them about 5 minutes to exit with 100% of your daily limit.

Bittrex account with two factor on hacked of 130.000 USD with Bing ad

Hello everyone,

I am writing to you in search of advice and to make everyone aware of this danger. My friend`s bittrex account has been hacked yesterday and his whole balance (130k usd/32btc ) has been withdrawn to an eth address. He held an amount of 2330 NEO and 354 OMG which was sold into btc and then bought 439 eth which was withdrawn to this eth address: 0x29e7049f72b99b9f914f59abcea7b348e2484795 . Everything happened in 1 minute and 9 seconds.

This is how it happened: He tried to login through a different browser than he usually uses, he used Internet Explorer which had as a home page the search engine bing, wrote bittrex and clicked on the first page that was displayed. He put the user and pass in and then the window with “security check, checking your browser before accessing bittrex” stayed on a little bit longer than usual, but eventually the window asking for the two factor authentification appeared, he introduced it and after waiting a few more seconds he got the message that the code has expired so he had to reenter another one but still didn`t log him in. He then used Google Chrome and logged in right away only to see that his holdings were sold into btc, bought eth and that was withdrawn.

So it seems that the first address was a clone with paid add on bing so it baffles me how Bing/Microsoft can allow this. We placed a request to have bittrex’s support and take action against that page but didn’t get an answer so far and contacted bing as well but as i am writing the page is still up there above the original bittrex page. I got screenshots with the account history and the scam page which i can provide. Please be aware of this and advise in terms of legal solutions.

“Feathercoins can be mined with consumer grade equipment too. Similar in many respects to LTC, Feathercoins are only worth some $0.08 right now. This currency may indeed present miners and investors with the best opportunity to get in on the ground floor, as they say.” https://www.scambitcoin.com/mining-crypto-currency/

Article remembers why Neoscrypt was developed and is probably why “Feathercoin has better mining profit potential than Bitcoin right now” http://fieldguide.gizmodo.com/how-exactly-do-you-get-rich-of-the-hot-new-cryptocurren-1796758326

@mkxjinshan CoinDesk menu looks like they’re mostly only interested in BTC and ETH. This is news on all coins where FTC is up to date: https://coinpedia.org/currency/feathercoin/

Global “ransomware” attack has latched on to more than 200,000 computers and begun manufacturing digital currency: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-cyber-attack-cryptocurrency-idUSKCN18D00W

The world needs a locked trading wallet, where two traders agree on a trade, and then both put their coins into a locked joint wallet, and then each trader must unlock the joint wallet to complete the trade, and the commissions are 0% Unfortunately I have zero skills in that department :P

@AmDD I want to buy them all it’s the brokers I want nothing to do with.

Yes it is, and that’s a great (value) company, none of my PowerColor have ever broken, and I run them hot. In other words they even work afterwards as great video cards.

@wrapper…thank you I will consider that. First I have to learn how. I’m very interested though and hope to be volunteering for a project like that this winter.

Just saying hello and also want to beg any FTC administrators to host a website that permits escrow sales for FTC fans to safely and easily buy (and sell) FTC. Thanks for listening.
