Hacked Customer Data From World Leading Cryptocurrency Exchanges For Sale On The Dark Web?
On a darknet market a vendor going is attempting to sell data from KYC checks cryptocurrency exchanges ask for by selling pictures of users with their IDs.
The XEM exchange rate has suffered catastrophic drops from this time a year ago, just as many other ambitious cryptocurrency projects have suffered, now the NEM Foundation is facing challenging budget decisions. We are in a tough spot like many others in this space. It is our duty to act quickly to ensure the longevity of the NEM ecosystem and development.
The reality of having one month left in funding means we won’t be able to support our current headcount, partnerships, and projects. We need to put everything on hold. This is painful since it hurts good people and partners, but the new council is aligned that we need to be transparent with what is happening behind the scenes of the NEM Foundation.

Hi NEM Community, It’s been about one month since the new council started, and a lot has happened. We are committed to transparency, so we are pulling back the curtain with some good news, some difficult news, and some major announcements. Background For…

Is it just me, or is it annoying when everyone starts becoming bullish & euphoric whenever BTC (& alts) start pumping? Especially after people were bearish & negative before?
I'm happy to see green candles on my screen, but there's a huge part of me that is annoyed when moon boys and girls start coming out of hibernation and are all bullish and ish.
When the crypto market is bearish, boring and seems like it's going nowhere, then those kids (moon boys and girls) are nowhere to be found. I'm certain you've experienced a good project whereby a Telegraph channel starts being extremely boring, i.e. no frequent posts as before because the price isn't pumping. But boy oh boy, things start changing after green green everywhere.
Anyway, I shouldn't be annoyed because it's human nature. I should just enjoy those candles...

Crypto Custody Service To Be Launched For Security Tokens By TokenSoft - CoinBeat
TokenSoft announces the launch of a new wallet designed for security tokens.
A few hours before the launch of Binance Chain 🗓
According to Chanpen Zhao (CEO Binance), test run Binance Chain will take place on February 20.
(https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1095187500056772608)we can not wait to test it and buy something there in the experimental portfolio Buffett ☺️
Binance Chain is a blockchain project from Binance.
They want to create a blockchain that will be an alternative market for the release, use and exchange of digital assets in a decentralized way.
And the first variant of implementation of the blockchain will certainly Binance DEX.
Binance is not the first in this area ☺️
Decentralized platforms have existed in the market for a long time.
In example can lead IDEX, Waves or BitShares.
But their interface, intuitive operation, speed and liquidity leave much to be desired.
Binance developers are aware of these problems, so they will try to make their site as fast, convenient and safe as possible to reach a wider range of users.
➖ At the initial stage after the launch, users will have enough opportunities:
You will be able to issue new tokens on the blockchain, which you can then send, receive, burn, freeze or unfreeze.
In addition, any member of the blockchain can offer trading pairs that he wants to see. And with enough support to start trading in the pair that he offered.
As DEX grows, more functions will appear in it.
But now for them the main thing is not functionality, but a good start at least with the basic features.
In terms of infrastructure, the Binance Chain test network will be supported by 11 test nodes.
Yes, initially Binance Chain will be quite centralized, but in the long term the number of nodes will increase, and the blockchain will be managed by the community.
Expected start 💪

Jimmy Hu, a highly successful entrepreneur. Forbes China 30 under 30. Hurun Report 30 under 30. 2018 China Internet Weekly's "Figure of the Year" for Artificial Intelligence. It all just all rolls off the tongue. The first Chinese man in space. Running a startup empire which is years from turning a profit but still brandishes around his unsavory and unpalatable watch collection on Instagram worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and driving around in a Maybach. Is he a scam artist of the highest calibre (as shown in the UChain ICO, Atlas and handling of Apex and mass disagreements with some of the largest VCS) or is he a highly successful businessman worthy of his $130,000 plastic watch? VCs are circling around strongly considering legal action. We may eventually find out.

MetaHAsh: WHAT CAN I DO FOR 38 MILLION ?
Some time ago, one of our subscribers became interested in METAHASH project. Gathered at the ICO 38 million dollars. I publish the first part of the text. . In the second part it will be much more interesting about "farms" with forging and the so-called "blockchain" in which the emission mechanism is implemented centrally.
MetaGate MetaHash
Portal to the decentralized Internet. It was such big words that the developers decided to present their vision of the modern blockchain (I would like to notice an interesting fact that developers can change the behavior of the blockchain - the forging formula and therefore the issue - without hard forks / What is then the blockchain???/). However, let's move away from advertising slogans and look under the hood of the MetaGate client. It comes in versions for MacOS, Linux, Android, Android OS, Windows (x32 and x64). There is also a branch on github, where we will look.
The first thing that catches your eye is the language mix in the commit denoscription. Part of the team writes a denoscription in Russian, part in English which makes it quite difficult to enter the development of developers from the community. Unfortunately, looking ahead, and the comments in the code also have a language mix. This is usually unacceptable for international OpenSource projects.
If you want to collect a purse from the source code after you download them from the Git with a rush, you will not succeed. The master branch contains code in development (usually code in development is placed in the dev branch), which is not recommended for production. In order to collect the wallet you need in addition to switch to the desired release tag.
Language mix is not limited. Developers also mix different libraries in which the same thing is duplicated (Qt and standard library), while analyzing the code there was a strong feeling that they were just too lazy to look at the Qt documentation. Code izobiluet functions which were somewhere just copied and not used.
The application architecture is built from two parts: UI part on html / js and BackEnd part on Qt C++ with QtWebBrowser inside. This makes the application clumsy and persistent feeling that the main idea was to "host the site on the client machine by removing the browser". Moreover, the application runs on memory, so it should be regularly restarted on a constantly running machine.
Reading the code, you can notice the use of lambdas, metaprogramming, smart pointers and other features of modern C++ (which apparently do not help in catching memory leaks), as well as quite funny comments in the style of "Do not set timeout, as this causes strange behavior" (nslookup file.cpp: 180). There are also" magic numbers " that must be carried by constants. When you build your app izobiluet various warnings (including casting), which can hide serious bugs - including security bugs.
To sum up: the source code of MetaGate is not just raw, it creates the feeling of some "Frankenstein" glued together from disparate fragments of libraries and copied pieces of code by students, and not a professional team with experience in industrial software development.
