Gatehub New USDC IOU Problem

@GateHub

With Gatehub adding a few new tokens to their list, such has USDC, WXRP & USDT

There is a problem, let me explain.

Today, logging in to Gatehub for the first time since 2020.  I decided to deposit 100 USDC to my wallet (not hosted) using their platform.

The transfer went fine, 100 shows deposited except that the overall balance of the account is wrong and plus the amount showing underneath the balance of 100 USDC is 0.000 (see image)

WTF!!!

So, support ticket was created and quick response from MIA was received:

Anyone else having issues?1435371637_2022-03-1320_11_22-GateHubWallet.thumb.png.a806c5d3f362cbcfc35da501272ba32f.png

Little off-topic, but do they still store your private key? Imo that has been a crucial design flaw, because with this construct you cannot know for sure who is responsible for transactions made on behalve of a certain account.

Either they should be full custodian or non-custodial, not both. Can't have 2 controllers of the same private key. Curious to know btw if people have been compensated already with regards to the hack ... (I have not touched Gatehub since)

Yes it's the same model (now with 2FA built in to transaction submission, so a bit more centralised security).

The key is (always has been) encrypted, and Gatehub doesn't store the password (according to them), so as a user you should be able to be pretty certain that Gatehub can never execute transactions by themselves.

But I agree that their shared responsibility model can lead to problems, but usually when people export their key and then blame Gatehub when it gets compromised. And the hack of course seems like a shared responsibility nightmare.

I still like it as a convenient way of managing keys for low value accounts, but wouldn't hold a lot there either. For people who understand the mechanics behind it, I think it's nice to have as an option.

Haven't heard about hack compensation since the last press release https://gatehub.net/blog/gatehub-update-criminal-proceedings-in-france-2/

Don't forget the Allbridge cross-chain integration that should be completed by the end Q2. The integration will bring cyrpto assets SOL, LUNA, AVAX, & Matic as well as the UST, USDT, and USDC stablecoins to the XRP Ledger via the DEX. The integration with Allbridge will also allow XRP to seamlessly cross Avalanche, Terra, Ethereum, Solana, BSC, Polygon, Fantom, Celo, Harmony, Aurora, and Heco blockchains.

Interesting, curious to know how decentralized the Allbridge is or how it works, but sounds good.

Yeah, I haven't had the chance to take a deep dive into the platform. I just remembered I had is as one of the things on my To Do list.

Dear,
 
Thank you for your reply.
 
The visual bug shouldn't pose any issues.
 
The minimum withdrawal is 85 USDC. So you'd need at least 120 USDC (35 USDC to cover fees) to be able to make a withdrawal.
 
You have two options. You can either deposit more USDC to cover the fees or Trade the USDC for a different currency (XRP for instance) that requires a lower withdrawal limit.
 
Let us know should you need any further assistance.

Kind regards,

Michael

still not fixed
