If you've got any loose fiat then give Kore coin a look. Quite a chunk of change trying to get in at the minute. Bought this one a while ago party because of the low circulation but the encrypted communications also got my attention."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

"On March 21, the San Francisco based exchange Coinbase publicly revealed an ethereum balance glitch that allowed users to manipulate their account balances. Researchers noticed that, by utilizing a smart contract, a person could add as much ethereum as they wanted to their account."
Bug now fixed.
Short Summary:
By using a smart contract to distribute ether over a set of wallets you can manipulate the account balance of your Coinbase account. If 1 of the internal transactions in the smart contract fails all transactions before that will be reversed.
But on Coinbase these transactions will not be reversed, meaning someone could add as much ether to their balance as they want. When you look up the Coinbase wallet address after this transaction you will see that it is empty, but checking your Coinbase wallet will show your funds.
Steps To Reproduce:
Setup a smart contract with a few valid Coinbase wallets and 1 final faulty wallet (always throws an exception when receiving funds for example).
Transfer appropriate funds to smart contract.
Execute smart contract adding the set amount of ether to the Coinbase wallets without ever actually leaving the smart contract wallet because the complete transaction fails at the last wallet.
Repeat until you have more than enough ethereum in your Coinbase wallet.
Cash out, transfer to off site wallet.

They'll have to start with Google first, seeing as the blockchain can at worst only contain links to the dodgy content in the 80 odd bytes of free format space.
Just more FUD from sources trying to either kill off bitcoin or devalue it for capturing a larger market share at a knock down price.
Hope the price does crash, so I can get more bags on the train to the moon.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

I don't know enough about the technology but it does strike me as an effective way of anonymously distributing links to prohibited material that would otherwise not be accessible.
Besides, the links in the blockchain are now immutable so no 'please forget me google' option. The authorities have all the time in the world to investigate the links to find out ownership of source. Some may take all the time in the world to actually investigate though, but the info is there if they want it.
So it can be spun as an advantage that the perps are dumb enough to leave a breadcrumb trail right to their door, that can't be erased.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
