Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Know The Coin with ChangeNOW! Today’s guest is Edward Iskra, Communications Director and Board Member in Bitcoin Gold, who was very nice to sit down with our marketing manager Pauline and talk about BTG, its history, features, and future updates!Hey there, Edward! Could you tell me a little bit about yourself and your background? Was the Bitcoin Gold your first sort of venture into the #crypto world?No, it wasn’t. I’m a little older than an average person in crypto. I got my computer science degree back in the early 90s. I was following the news about Bitcoin during its first peak over $1k value, before the Mt. Gox era. I wasn’t actively involved, though — no mining or investing — I was too busy working as an IT director in a small investment bank (...)

February 24 marked the fifth anniversary of the now infamous Mt. Gox exchange hack. Five years later, we are reminded that keeping #crypto secure is still a major issue. Especially as the industry matures and continues to be embraced by mainstream financial institutions.Mt. Gox saw 850,000 bitcoins vanish, an amount valued at more than $450 million at the time. As troubling as that number is, a scarier statistic is that to date there has been billions stolen from various exchanges across the globe. Last year alone there was $850 million stolen from exchanges, including one incident where over half a billion dollars worth of crypto was stolen from an exchange. These hacks have occurred so often that the stories have now become commonplace in crypto news.Five years later, there are some (...)

Those who bought any significant amount of Bitcoin (or any other crypto) are faced with an interesting dilemma. Where to put it and how to keep it safe?Is it possible to have an unhackable crypto bank? Is it even needed?A related question is: Is it even possible to keep your crypto safe?Hacking has been a major problem in crypto currency circles since Bitcoin was introduced in 2008. Even before the recent wave of interest in cryptocurrency (which happened in 2017), there were well known hacks and problems. In 2014, for example, Mt. Gox, the largest bitcoin exchange at the time was hacked for 740,000 bitcoin, which was valued at over $460 million at the time (and which at 2017 and even 2018 prices would be over $1 billion).It’s not just exchanges that got hacked — in 2017, Nicehash, one of (...)

5 Ways you’re Putting your #cryptocurrency in Danger without even Knowing it
▻https://hackernoon.com/5-ways-youre-putting-your-cryptocurrency-in-danger-without-even-knowing-

You can lose all your cryptocurrency for two reasons:A hacker is actively attacking youYou are a victim of collateral damage sparked by a bigger event: If any of the services you trust (the cryptocurrency exchange, the password manager, the browser) are being hacked, your data can become compromised and someone else can get access to your funds.If the second scenario happens, you might think that it’s not you who was responsible for that and you are not the only one affected so, under crowd pressure the affected platform will have no choice but to reimburse your loss. Well, say that to the 127,000 creditors processing claims against Mt. Gox. Do you think they will ever get back the $2.4 trillion (worth of #bitcoin) they lost when the exchange went bankrupt due to a 650,000 BTC hack?In (...)

The concerns around centralized #cryptocurrency exchanges being hacked, corrupt, or operating illegally has spread fear amongst traders for years. From Mt. Gox (the largest crypto exchange in 2013) closing its doors and leaving its users without ~850,000 BTC to the 1Broker exchange recently seized by the FBI, you can assume the worst when it comes to leaving your coins in these companies hands.Today, we’ll discuss the recently introduced #ProofOfKeys movement that could reveal the scammers among centralized exchanges and why you should consider a decentralized exchange (DEX) in 2019.

Which one do you choose?DISCLAIMER: THIS ARTICLE MIGHT CONTAIN BIAS VIEW AS I AM THE ONE OF THOSE WHO IS BUILDING LUMIAs a user I care about 2 things when it comes to crypto wallets. First, security (please don’t lose my crypto/ still have nightmares about Mt. Gox). Second, UI/UX (sometimes it feels like some of the interfaces come from the early 90s. Makes me want to go blind). Let’s see what’s out there and whether crypto wallet teams really care about their users.Short intro: There are 2 ways to go around security in crypto wallets: Hosted/ Centralized (3rd party storage of your private keys) or Client-side approach (your private keys stay with you only). Crypto wallets security issues are a real pain in the neck for their developers, so each and every company who decides that making (...)

F*** the #fud & Conferences Galore!

F*** the FUD & Conferences Galore!This week is a special one because of the sheer magnitude of the conference schedule on the heels of a major FUD attack and subsequent market correction. The last few days saw FUD attacks from Mt. Gox, the #sec, #binance, and not surprisingly the market overreacted to each event.What happens following these overreactions? Rebounds.Following this correction there was actually very positive news out of both China and South Korea, yet the market has not rebounded as one might presume. The most surprising part is that the FUD was unwarranted. The SEC has stated the exact same thing for the last two months. These articles just “reiterated” what is already common knowledge. They are reviewing current ICOs, especially the ones in the hundreds of millions of (...)
