The following video basically shows the DAO hack contract which was written in Solidity being applied to both the Ethereum and the Cardano virtual machines, the latter being in testnet phase known as IELE. I'm not a coder - I just find this stuff interesting: -

I'm in the process of moving my XRP to cold storage, but want to check the security of my currency. I got to thinking about one method of trying to hack XRP that is probably impossible, but I'd like some confirmation on it. 1. I'm wondering how many possible XRP addresses there are? 2. What would it take to set up a program to cycle through all the addresses and run a balance check on each one? 3. Then when you've found a number of addresses with nice balances, couldn't you then run a program to brute force hack the secret key? 4. In cold storage are there any extra layers of security you can add through the RippleAPI beyond the secret key? I'm guessing it's nigh on impossible to hack an address/ addresses this way, but I'd be curious to know the maths behind it or how difficult it would be. Cheers for any help. Trippy

Hello, So i read that tokens were stolen and they are working on fixing this at coinPayments . Is this the reason the prices are stagnating ? http://www.razor-forex.com/2017/06/millions-of-ripple-tokens-go-missing.html -
Hello! I registered an account with wallet.gatehub.net on November 2, 2016, with copies of documents for verification. Made a migration of purse ripple.com (on the purse it was about 35000 XRP) and, from November 2, 2016 to November 22, 2016. Tried to make several XRP exchange transactions for the US dollar. Exchange, apparently did not happen (most likely, there was a glitch, or something else). But XRP from the balance disappeared. Technical support, at that time, could not say anything intelligible to me. I enclose last year's hashes and screenshots. I still can not see neither XRP nor $$. If the transactions were canceled, then I ask you to restore the balance in XRP on your wallet. Out of 35,000 XRP, only 3,784.99 XRP remained on the wallet. Where did XRP go? I ask you to help understand, check all transactions from November 2, 2016 to November 22, 2016, and return the funds, because On my purse XRP did not return, and the declared exchange for USD also did not happen. At the moment, the exchange operations are conducted well (in contrast to the period from November 2, 2016 to November 22, 2016, when the money was gone from the wallet). Also, found that I deleted 2 any wallet (probably removed). Maybe they are there? Is it possible to get them back?

Just because we've invested in secure transactions doesn't mean that other security metrics go out the window. I've noticed a couple instances today of social engineering that remind me of the need to be careful. Some recommendations: 1) Don't disclose the quantity of your investment in specifics. 2) Keep your goals general enough not to become a target "millionaire" or someone with a large (for you) portfolio that becomes a feast for a thief. 3) Watch for constant questioners whose profiles stay anonymous or empty (untraceable). 4) Check your own chats from the perspective of someone who might want to find you, your goods, your habits or your "ecosystem". Even in the world of digital assets, someone can still burglarize a physical place to retrieve your goods (cold wallets). 5) Become a "community watcher". With serious fiat / crypto becoming a factor in people's lives, we can help each other out by being skeptical of "inquiring minds".o I'm sure others here have solid recommendations. I thought it worthwhile to give a heads up on things like this now that the chat community is growing so fast. I like the chat communities I belong to. I want those who are risking their earned monies to succeed. I don't want what's earned to be taken away by the social engineers who turn our good conversations into tools for their gain and our loss.
