alilami 7 Posted June 7 Read the entire topic, just registered to comment. Truly sad news this. Is this the first time XRP-hodlers are being targeted in a large heist? Can't remember any other such event? What makes it worse is that it seems to have affected a lot of oldbies who had a lot of XRP per person. The first time I bought XRP was in Nov 2017, and I was forwarded to Gatehub for a XRP-wallet. I still have the e-mail from Gatehub, and only after reading this topic I found out about the "Ripple Trade-issue", even though it was mentioned in the original e-mail, but I didn't pay any attention to it back then as a XRP-n00b: Quote Hello and thank you for joining GateHub. Activate Please activate your account before continuing. Are you a Ripple Trade user looking to migrate your account? You will be able to start the migration process after you activate your account. So I can understand why they had stored their XRP there since it was recommended by Ripple. I appreciate the fact that Ripple donates to all kinds of charities, but the least they can do is to also setup a charity fund for loyal XRP-investors, similar to the SAFU-fund of Binance, to cover such disasters as has happened with Gatehub, at least for the early stage of the crypto adoption to gain the trust of the masses. No offense, but surely XRP-investors are as deserving or more for charity from Ripple as the ones mentioned below from this and previous year: - Ripple Co-Founder Gives $25 Million Donation in XRP to San Francisco University - Ripple Partners With Madonna to Fundraise for Orphans in Malawi - Ripple donates $50 million to top universities to boost blockchain adoption - Ripple gives away $29 million of its cryptocurrency to public schools - Ripple Donates $4 Million To the Ellen Degeneres Wildlife Foundation The sooner this issue is resolved, the better. Time is not on our side. Don't repeat the same mistake as Mt.Gox, allowing the BTC price to skyrocket. If you are going to pay back their funds, try to at least secure millions of XRP now that the price is cheap before it goes up and makes this a bigger disaster than it already is! 7 WhentheBoat_ComesIn, Lucus, LetHerRip and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some exchanges like changelly don't accept ethereum transfers due to Wirex eth smart contracts transfers. But works fine with Binance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rabbit_Kick_Club 558 Posted June 8 19 hours ago, at3n said: True. But i have been wondering what could be done if all validators agree that a specific wallet is a hackers wallet. They could simply refuse to sign and validate transactions from that address and lock the XRP... But I guess it will have some nasty side effects David Schwarz hast thought of long, long ago... While I am very sorry for people's losses, I adamantly oppose using our validator to censor or alter any transactions, as doing so would surely have substantial negative effects for the overall XRPL. As @alloyxrp already observed, this is a slippery slope indeed! Further, it isn't even possible or practical, as there are so many default UNL validators that would surely disagree with this course of action. 6 hours ago, alloyxrp said: I am a default UNL validator.

Irreversible theft is a consequence associated with decentralized systems, and I personally avoid keeping any value on exchanges, as I see them as rather large targets for theft. 2 fluxw42 and Duke67 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluxw42 5 Posted June 8 Looking for an official response from Gatehub, hoping to get it here: Does Gatehub store deleted wallets? I currently have 2 wallets in GateHub and also got 2 security warnings. In the past I had more wallets, but extracted the secret and deleted them from Gatehub ~1-2 years ago (in case my account was breached). Can I have a list of the actual wallets of which the secret key may be compromised? It would be useful if Gatehub included the wallet address in each security notification they send out by mail and phone. 2 tulo and Silkjaer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irreversible theft is a consequence associated with decentralized systems, and I personally avoid keeping any value on exchanges, as I see them as rather large targets for theft. I agree that it is slippery, and should be treated with care. But this is consensus, we just decide who we trust (most), right? And we decide what is channged on the network. There sure could be a point where the network after a hack has significant less value than the network before. Imagine we have 100 banks on the network, and 50 got hacked. They could stop using the network, leaving it with much less value than before. I am sure there will be a point where it will be tried at least. Anyway, at this moment it is not helping the victims, so another thread another time..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm looking correctly to an account from Silkjaers list that lost 1990 XRP, you've got 48,50XRP left and 95.8k Alvor. Because the value of Alvor changes over time the 'total worth' in XRP varies from day to day. 1 demludi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
