"To handle this, the tool was quickly rewritten to send single SendGrid API calls in batches of 1,000 addresses. Unfortunately, due to the time constraints, this was not put through our normal QA process. It was not immediately understood that the API call would create a literal concatenated “To:” field, leaking customer email addresses. As soon as we became aware, we immediately prevented further emails from being sent and have addressed the root cause. Since then we have been aiding all who have been affected as best we can and mitigating the damage to contain the leak."

Warning for Handshake (HNS) Token Buyers/OTC Traders

We have received news that former employees of London Trust Media (the company that owns Private Internet Access, the vpn, and is a Handshake 'incubator') have convinced counterparties that they have a contract with LTM and HNS Coins (false). They also managed to convince the counterparties not to disclose the deal to LTM as that would void the contract, which never existed to begin with. This means anyone who purchased tokens from these parties have most likely been scammed, as these tokens didn't exist in the first place. This also potentially extends to OTC deals, as those who bought from these parties have most likely tried to sell them on the OTC market, and while they were probably most likely not aware the deal was fake and the tokens didn't exist, this still doesn't change the fact that OTC buyers will be rekt. It is highly advisable to avoid any Handshake OTC deals moving forward.

LTM execs are looping in US law enforcement to crackdown on this activity. The Handshake founders have confirmed privately that the OTC deals are a 100% scam. There may be a public announcement on that soon.

terribly sorry for pointing out that you probably got scammed

but if you bought HNS from anyone who isn't on the list at handshake.org

the chances are you got scammed.

I bring this up not to dunk on anyone but just because I think it's sad when people get scammed, and the amount of scammer activity has been incredibly high here

Exchange that is in the US court system decides it's too risky to continue with a token sale with a guy wanted by the US government.

Probably a good call at the end of the day...

⭐️ RESERVE AMA 7th November 9am ET, 3pm CET ⭐️
⏰ Time until AMA - https://bit.ly/2PSAluQ
✋ Submit a question for the Reserve team - https://forms.gle/Pszj1Jy8rUtbUfK67

🗣 AMA is in our public channel https://news.1rj.ru/str/WolfCryptoPub, so please join before we begin. 🎙

🗣 Summary -

The Reserve project aims to introduce a stable, decentralized currency that can’t be abused by a government because it is globally distributed outside of anyone’s control, and thus nearly impossible to shut down.

Reserve Protocol is a decentralized stablecoin system that scales supply with demand and is built to maintain 100% or more on-chain collateral backing.

The Reserve protocol defines two tokens:

The Reserve token (RSV) – the decentralized stablecoin
The Reserve Rights token (RSR) – a utility token with multiple roles in the network

On November 7th we held an AMA with Reserve Protocol in our public Telegram channel. A full summary of the AMA is provided in the link below.

🗣 Project Summary -

The Reserve project aims to introduce a stable, decentralized currency that can’t be abused by a government because it is globally distributed outside of anyone’s control, and thus nearly impossible to shut down.

Reserve Protocol is a decentralized stablecoin system that scales supply with demand and is built to maintain 100% or more on-chain collateral backing.

The Reserve protocol defines three tokens:

RSV is a stable cryptocurrency that can be held and spent the way we use US dollars and other stable fiat money. It is a decentralized, asset-backed stablecoin. Reserve believes it can beat fiat money in global stability. The protocol is designed to hold collateral tokens worth 100% of the value of all RSV tokens.

RSD is backed by USD in a bank account, and will be one of the many collateral tokens.

RSR is the protocol token and a transactional currency similar to MKR. When the RSV token is trading above $1.00, any excess RSV tokens in this pool can be purchased from the Reserve smart contract. Purchases are made with RSR, and only available to RSR token holders. Once the purchase is made, the RSR tokens are burned. Reserve estimates that about 2–5% of the USD value of the RSV in circulation will be burned in RSR per year. This comes from estimates about RSV velocity (for the transaction fees) and average collateral token appreciation rates (for thinks like tokenized treasury bills).

CoinMarketCap launches exchange liquidity ranking:

We've covered Moshe Hogeg in some detail on this channel since 2018, mainly in regards to his Stox project, which became an exit scam that Moshe is now being sued for in Israel, which as a bonus included proof of widespread and wholesale dumping of the STX token by Moshe himself, along with his next victim Sirin Labs, which is in its final throes before following the same path.

Moshe's next (potential and probable) scam is BlockTV, a relatively well followed and existing crypto media orginisation launched in the beginning of 2019, and their straight token listing on Bittrex on November 21st, in which 20% of the BLTV token supply will be sold at a price of $0.01. If all tokens are sold at this price on the open market, this would raise approximately $6m USD (they value the company at $30m USD btw...lol). This would allow BlockTV to spend this money on..."its website’s needs and expand its coverage beyond blockchain and cryptocurrencies to include a broad range of technology industries, as well as to launch studios in New York and Asia next year"

BlockTV state "BLOCKTV is proud to offer its BLTV tokens to its user base and thus, will not hold any presale." however on the very same website they also have the ability to "Join our private sale today". The link to the projects whitepaper also doesn't work...

This is also an interesting quote - "A BlockTV management source told Globes that several million dollars had been invested to date in founding and operating the website". Keeping in mind one of the claims in the lawsuit against Moshe was that "Hogeg invested just $5 million of the raised funds in Stox and invested the remainder in other ICOs and businesses" it's questionable as to where the source of these funds came from. Of course, it wouldn't be unlike a blockchain project to reverse raise by selling a useless utility token to either prop up an existing business or fund recover initial investment by letting token holders foot the bill on their behalf, while they keep control of the company and abandon the token once it's served it's utility function...making them money...

For reference, BlockTV’s owner Alignment Media is part of the Alignment Group, which is fully owned by Hogeg’s venture capital fund Singulariteam, so the direct connection here to Moshe is undeniable. For more sussness there, Singulariteam CFO Guy Elhanani is also simultaneously the CFO of Sirin Labs. Alignment Group also lists Binance on its portfolio page however Binance states "We have no affiliation with Alignment Group"

So with that in mind, an old saying comes to mind...“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." What about fool me thrice?

If you have a screw or two loose and are actually considering buying this token, we highly highly suggest you check out this article that details the "Unusual Patterns" of Moshe Hogeg’s ICOs. Moshe is a repeat offender and basing off proven past actions, you can expect the exact same from this project and token.

Just as a final aside, let's not forget this is all happening on Bittrex who have fucked everything they have touched in the last 6-12 months, especially when it comes to raises...

If anyone has a PDF copy of the BlockTV whitepaper (since you can't seem to download it from their website anymore) and would like to see us breakdown the utility case, or lack thereof, of the actual token itself, please feel free to drop by @WolfCryptoPub, link us up and it shall be done...
