    A good friend of mine has passed. (A crypto lesson for us all)

    Posted: 07 Jun 2018 12:45 PM PDT

    This was a very dear friend, a father, a grandfather, and an excellent musician who made everyone smile. He passed 12 days ago.

    Ok..... so why am I posting this here? Well, last summer I explained block chain & crypto currencies to him. After doing more research on his own, he came back & we set up a small portfolio. Throughout the past year, we have talked, researched, and altered his portfolio holdings from time to time. All was well.

    Then he passed away. This is a lesson for all of us. (INCLUDING MYSELF)

    I am now trying to teach his wife about what he was doing with crypto. Lucky enough... he had me hold 2nd copies of passwords, private keys, seed phrases, etc. "Lucky" because he never explained it all to her, or showed her where anything was.

    I have things handled there. But how many of us have wife, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend, children, that have no clue what we are doing in crypto? I've tried explaining before & heard " that stuff makes my brain hurt" ...or "Not right now"

    Well what if? ........... ( I could get hit by a truck tomorrow & all my investments would dissapear)

    We not only need to be educating our friends & family about crypto in general, but we also need to make sure we have some type of "plan B" in place for our loved ones. Take a few minutes & show that person you trust where the passwords are, how to restore a wallet, how to move cryptos off an exchange if you have any there, etc etc.

    We might be aggravating or overwhelming them with it, but if the time ever comes that something has happened to you, where do you want your holdings? Lost? Just in limbo? Or would you rather your loved ones benefit from what you have worked so hard for?

    Thanks for hearing me out.

    EOS block producer chat logs

    Posted: 07 Jun 2018 09:27 PM PDT

    https://pastebin.com/wD7V4EU5

    Found this pastebin that seems to be the chat log from the validated EOS block producer telegram channel, and i'm worried. They don't really seem to have any sort of coherence at all, and operate on a "whatever was said last is the truth", not to mention the complete clusterfuck that was the zoom chat...

    Minutes from said chat... https://docs.google.com/document/d/14rfDoOEyhIuTq9kgNuevjbG2F2-HCePgEzVLlJ-eEZc

    Mirror in case they take it down. https://docs.google.com/document/d/133VHvncsyGgp-WuZHUUDl_svjPuL0vJywxlSCYgqle4/edit?usp=sharing

    Highlights include: - agreeing to print more tokens for themselves before launch - not agreeing about literally anything else AT ALL - some unknown Korea FUD that they had to pull Dan in for but he seemed disinterested and left

    NEON Wallet hacked ($150-200k) - anything I can do?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2018 11:53 AM PDT

    Hi all.

    This was moderated out of NEO subreddit so thought I would try over here.

    I have just logged into my NEON wallet for the first time in maybe a month to find all my balances are zero. I've checked neotracker and it looks like it has been hacked:

    https://neotracker.io/address/AYF49DZLs2aEHKXcXSwTjBoTRqKds8y5dA

    All the funds left the wallet on the 27th May. Stupidly I didn't have it rigged up to Ledger - I thought it was safe (for now) as I only use this Macbook for crypto stuff and noone else has access to the flashdrive that holds my private key.

    Anyway, does anyone have any idea if there is anything I can do from here?

    CNBC's Cryptotrader Does Exclusive on Enigma

    Posted: 07 Jun 2018 03:26 PM PDT

    Enough with how crypto is ruinous. Let's hear about the good that it has done.

    Posted: 08 Jun 2018 02:02 AM PDT

    I was reading Vigna and Casey's Cryptocurrency: The Future of Money? the other day. It began with a telling story of how Bitcoin pulled an Afghani girl out of a very restricted life and into complete financial independence. In two pages alone, it does more to tell you about how cryptocurrency can free entire populations than all of the news you hear on the internet - Reddit or elsewhere.

    These are the kind of stories we need to hear. Mainstream media outlets pounce on the transient shortcomings and cherry pick what suits their cause, chiefly the criminal exploitation of financial methods that is invariably present in any system. We need to communicate to people stories like how cryptocurrency can help an Afghani girl can make her own money, fund her own education and be in control of her own future.

    I would like to have these stories heard. If you, or someone you know, has had their life changed because of cryptocurrency, I'd like to hear it - meaningful changes, not purchases of lamborghinis. I'd be happy to speak at length over the matter, so we can get a detailed picture of how the technology bettered your life.

    I have contacts in the 'cryptojournalism' space, so maybe I could get the word out there. I'll post this on my own Steemit page or build my own website. I want people to hear about the how the human at the end of all of it has been touched, and not about the money, potential profitability, fraud or hype.

    That's about it. I don't know how this might play out, but I'm going to go for it. If anyone would like to help, drop me a message. If there's one thing I've learned from crypto, it's that you can do something yourself and there'll be a community to support it.

    Have a nice day!
