Ether, Edgeless, Swarm City, æternity about to go on SALE due to potential security flaw!

in #ethereum7 years ago (edited)

This is a public service announcement and security alert! Ether and a few tokens that use Parity 1.5 or later multi-sig wallet have an alleged security flaw. $32M may have been stolen from one of these wallets.

This does not look like fake news. It is causing Ether to crash as we speak though. If you own Edgeless, Swarm City or æternity, you may see a decline in price as the news gets out.

I say this with Peace and Love..Peace and Love...get out of these tokens and buy them again later when they are on sale.

If you have Ether or tokens in a parity 1.5+ multi-sig wallet, move your coins to another wallet to be safe.

If this security flaw turns out to be real, this could mean an Ethereum hard fork. That would be YUUUGE. Would it mean Ether at or below $135 again? It's certainly possible.

Update

Swarm City just posted about it here: https://press.swarm.city/parity-multisig-wallet-exploit-hits-swarm-city-funds-statement-by-the-swarm-city-core-team-d1f3929b4e4e

An opportunity to load up, sweet.

Yup..that's what I'm hoping for. Missed the chance when it hit $135 over the weekend.

Yikes...wish I saw this earlier.

Luckily I was already out after the initial recovery from the weekend. Looking to get back in at a good price.

Solid post. Nice to see I'm not the only one who thinks like this. The current total market cap of all cryptos might seem high but blockchain is here to stay and will involve all our lives. I do see a bright future for everyone that's hold's their coins with a long term vision. I found this great website: https://www.coincheckup.com I'm using this site that gives in depth reports on every tradable cryto in the market.
