Cryptopia Cryptocurrency Exchange Has Been Compromised.

Image
Looks like Cryptopia may have been compromised. Early this morning Coindesk reported on the story.  www.coindesk.com… I went to the website and confirmed the site is indeed in maintenance mode! Reminiscent of the Cryptsy hack. Cryptopia goes into maintenance mode as reports surface that the exchange had been compromised. Searching their Twitter I discovered this tweet confirming the story. Cryptopia posts official statement on Twitter Cryptopia also posted a link to the local police citing an investigation by their local law enforcement. www.police.gov… For the most part, Cryptopia has always acted honorably in the past. The Dood holds a small amount of cryptocurrency on their exchange. It’s just starting to sink in that this could be a substantial loss for me. I just avoided losing funds to the Cryptsy hack about a week before they posted the same ominous message! I’ve always expected this would happen sooner or later, but for now, I’m giving them the benefit of the dou...

Started The Week With A Little Trading.

As I mentioned on Twitter last week, I think I’m going to start posting some of my buy / sells on my blog.  For the most part, this is to help me keep track of my buys and sells. With some of the exchanges not keeping order history for longer than a few months, I’m using this as a gauge to quickly check prices. I am not a financial advisor. This is not meant as financial advice . This is just The Dood, doing The Dood. The only thing I sold so far today was a little Tron TRX at .00000669 Still holding a nice bag, just thought I’d take some profits. If it goes up, I’ll sell more, if it goes down, I’ll buy back eventually. Currently accumulating: WAX .00000953 DTA  .00000024 POLY .00003332 DRGN .00002336 TEL .00000010 SNM .00000573 FTC .00000457 NXT .00000728 IGNIS .00000439 PPC .00015817 BAY .00000201 Bought back some MANA .00001021 My big gamble for the day was doubling my position of SNOV .00000034 Hoping for a pump and I may completely exit that market.

Interesting Tron TRX Review

Image
Tron has taken a lot of flack since its introduction. I thought this was a pretty fair review of the technology. If you ever wanted to find out more about this controversial cryptocurrency, I found this to be not only fair, but also a very in depth review. Explains solidity, PoS, and a lot of the other technical aspects of this project. from The Bitcoin Blog http://bit.ly/2AJDrZy via IFTTT
