    Security Alert - Malicious links to a fake Atomic Wallet are being posted on many crypto subreddits

    Posted: 20 Feb 2019 07:17 AM PST

    Please be advised, we have noticed a network of zombie accounts posting incorrect URLs to Atomic Wallet across much of crypto reddit. The correct url is AtomicWallet [dot] io, but they will post URLs like cryptoatomicwallet[dot]com or atomcwallet[dot]net or various other domain names similar enough to the real one to fool people. They have usually cloned the real site and the post title is typically about the subreddit's coin being added to the wallet, which is meant to get people excited instead of suspicious.

    *This is not an endorsement or guarantee of the correct Atomic Wallet

    Here is a page where you can view examples for yourself. It goes without saying, do not click any of these links

    These domains sometimes even have good SEO. A slightly incorrect search term finds the malicious site as the top result on some search engines:

We've all be plagued with luckygames and other spam before, but this is certainly the worst campaign I've seen. I've been building a bot that should help us in cases like this

    Here is some automod code to catch these posts in their current form. Please note the attack may evolve to evade this rule so stay on your toes. Several case insensitive keywords are included, so add or remove entries based on what is right for your subreddit. This will filter posts so they await your approval in modqueue rather than being outright deleted

    The Truth About Enigma

    Posted: 20 Feb 2019 09:48 PM PST

    I wanted to address some of the conspiracy rumors circulating about Enigma right now. There has been a torrent of misinformation washing through a sewer of speculation and I have taken it upon myself to set the record straight. But first I have to set the scene.

    I'm not going to go into the origin of dragons and their endless wars through the epochs, but we should dip our toes into the past couple of centuries. In 1874, a young Nikola Tesla escaped conscription from the Austro-Hungarian army by hiding and living in a system of caves in the mountains near Tomingaj, Croatia. During his hiding he met a zmaj, a dragon, within the cave system. The dragon seemed sluggish and senile to Tesla. The dragon begged for any gold Tesla had on his person. Tesla, being a generous man, gave the dragon a gold coin he had always carried for good luck. His mother had always insisted Tesla should carry the coin for just such an encounter. The dragon looked at the coin longingly and ate it.

    Most of you have heard the stories of dragons coveting and hoarding gold. This is not a habit borne of greed but of survival. In the same way humans need iron in our diets, dragons need to ingest gold periodically. Dragons are extremely intelligent. They are also very agile for their size. Both qualities can be attributed to a superior neurophysiology that uses the low oxidation and high electroconductivity of gold to a dragon's advantage. In short, dragons need gold to survive.

    Tesla and Vaskaja, the zmaj, became fast friends. Tesla was enamored with the alacrity Vaskaja could perform integral calculus in his head. Vaskaja borrowed Tesla's dreams of moving to America. The dragon believed no other dragons had ever travelled to America, and its gold would be ripe for the picking.

    In 1884, Tesla moved to America, bringing along Vaskaja. Many people speculate on the logistics of smuggling a dragon across the Atlantic. No one has come up with a satisfactory explanation. Tesla and Vaskaja quickly get to work on revolutionizing the field of electrical engineering and procuring funding in the process. Many historians believe Tesla was supremely bad with money, always running and low and begging for more from countless investors. In truth, Tesla scrambled to get money any way he could to buy gold for Vaskaja's consumption.

    In 1943, Tesla dies. Soon after, the FBI hires John J Trump to analyze Tesla's lab notes. Trump quickly learns of the existence of Vaskaja and the extent of his partnership with Tesla. After weeks of negotiations between Vaskaja, Trump, and the DOD, Vaskaja is moved to his new home under the Federal Reserve Bank. In exchange for Vaskaja's intellectual prowess, he is given a stipend of gold once a week from the reserves.

    In 1944, after stunning victories by the US Allies in WW2 due to the strategies created by Vaskaja, the US government agrees to procure more gold for the dragon. Vaskaja and the powers that be orchestrated the implementation of the Bretton Woods Agreement between several world powers. Consequently, many nations began depositing gold into the Federal Reserve Bank in New York.

    The following years were relatively peaceful and bountiful time for Vaskaja. He had plenty of gold to eat. And he was visited on a regular basis by John J Trump. On a few occasions, John brought his nephew, Donald to visit. These visits during Donald's early years left an indelible mark on the young man, which may give a clue as to why to this very day Donald strives to surround himself with gold wherever he goes, emulating his childhood hero.

    But the bounty did not last. Bretton Woods was failing. More and more countries were threatening to take their gold back. In a desperate move to appease Vaskaja, Nixon abandoned Bretton Woods and killed the gold standard, effectively stopping the hemorrhaging of gold from the reserve.

    While in service to the US government, Vaskaja learned of two other dragons living in the states. The first, Ormelstex, was long thought dead by Vaskaja. Ormelstex was badly injured in a war thousands of years ago. He was thought to have fled from the combat and died. Ormelstex did flee, but he survived. How Ormelstex ended up in America, no one is quite sure. The wingless dragon keeps his own council. What is known is during the Civil War, a still gravely injured Ormelstex convinced several wealthy southerners to hide their wealth in the swamps with him. He would encircle and protect their gold deep in the swamps and they would protect him. They named themselves the Knights of the Golden Circle. Ormelstex ate all the gold, healed quickly and left them destitute. He made several deals with the US government after the war. He moved into the Mammoth cave system shortly after where the government fed him a steady diet of gold and provided them with counsel. When the US government began to face a shortage of gold, President Roosevelt outlawed the private ownership of gold. The government quickly and cheaply procured more gold for Ormelstex and build a reserve over a branch of the Mammoth cavern system the dragon frequented. We know this reserve today as Fort Knox.

    We don't know much about the second dragon. It emigrated from Asia sometime shortly after the California gold rush and established residence under the San Francisco mint. It has been speculated that the Great Quake of 1906 was a consequence of the dragon giving birth. No one seems to know if this is true, and if it is, what happened to the young drakes.

    In 2007 and 2008 the financial crisis took a huge toll and the dozen or so dragons still living throughout the world. There was a bum rush for gold. The writing was on the wall. Dragons needed to devalue gold by any means necessary. They soon banded together and under the sobriquet of Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin. They quickly began recruiting the top cryptographers in the world to create a new ecosystem that would topple traditional financial institutions and consequently decimate the value of gold.

    Guy Zyskind is one of those recruits. Enigma's true and sole goal is to create cheap gold by playing a key role in the web3 stack and destabilizing the status quo. That is the truth. It's what you deserve.

    The mods over at /requestnetwork are now actively involved in censorship and are permabanning those that criticize the project.

    Posted: 20 Feb 2019 04:55 PM PST

    I just received a permaban for calling out and criticizing the project in a completely fair and reasonable way. I reached out for an explanation but they are completely silent. I guess they don't have enough mozzarella anymore so it's time to censor all opinions to keep feeding their greedy failed project. Seriously though, this is not acceptable and the team should be called out for it.

    The lack of updates over the year has seriously put a damper on this project and I no longer believe they are capable of delivering anything. They are trying to cover up their failure with a rebrand to generate false hype. The censorship does not help and further makes me believe that REQ will always at the very least be a shitcoin, possibly a scam coin. This is not acceptable.

    BMW China Deployed Public Blockchain Project in an Official Chinese Government Website Release

    Posted: 20 Feb 2019 06:02 AM PST

    In a release highlighting the R&D of XNODE (the official innovation sourcing arm of BMW China), BMW mentions their successful use-cases with China. The article was published on a Chinese Government owned and ran website in an effort to promote R&D across the nation.

    > 宝马(中国)汽车贸易有限公司去年与"创极无限"合作以来,已实施6个创新项目。区块链项目是其中之一。尤琪告诉记者,他们筛选了五六十家区块链领域的中小企业,最终选择与"创极无限"推荐的唯链合作。这是一家上海企业,提供的技术解决方案很专业,也适合商业化。区块链在汽车行业有什么用途呢?尤琪举例说,在一个用车生命周期里,客户下单买车、保险公司理赔原本是两件不相干的事,而采用区块链技术后,两者就会通过分布式账本数据库产生关联,使相关企业在一个平台上为客户服务。这意味着,区块链能让汽车购买、保险理赔、维修保养等各个环节的企业服务无缝衔接,产生更大的商业价值。"通过合作,唯链的业务已进入德国,还被德国媒体报道,成为上海创新创业的一个案例。"

    English Translation:

    BMW (China) Automobile Trading Co., Ltd. has implemented six innovative projects since its cooperation with XNode last year. The blockchain project is one of them. You Qi told reporters that they screened 50 or 60 SMEs in the blockchain field and chose to cooperate with XNode's recommended chain. This is a Shanghai company that offers technical solutions that are professional and commercial. As a decentralized distributed ledger database, what is the use of blockchains in the automotive industry? For example, Yu Qi said that in a car life cycle, customers paying for insurance and insurance company claims are originally two irrelevant things. After using blockchain technology, the two will be related through the distributed ledger database. To enable related companies to serve customers on one platform. This means that the blockchain can seamlessly connect enterprise services in all aspects of car purchase, insurance claims, maintenance and other aspects, resulting in greater commercial value. "Through cooperation, the VeChain (chain-only) business has entered Germany and has been reported by the German media, becoming a case of innovation and entrepreneurship in Shanghai." You Qi said.

    Some of the notable points to take away are:

    • Since the cooperation with 创极无限, BMW Cars (China) Ltd has deployed six new projects. Blockchain is one of it.
    • Mr/Ms Youqi informs the reported that out of 50-60 Blockchain based SMEs, they finally chose VeChain which were recommended by 创极无限
    • VeChain is a Shanghai-based company which provides very professional solutions for use cases utilizing technology. Their solutions are also suitable for enterprises.
    • So what exactly can Blockchain contribute in the automotive industry?
    • The example provided by Youqi: in a vehicles lifecycle, a car purchase order by customers and insurance payout claims by the same customer are two separate processes and not linked together.
    • With Blockchain technology, both parties (insurer and customer) can connect with each other using a distributed data ledger. Thus, stakeholders can serve customers using a common platform
    • This means, Blockchain can seamlessly connect the cycle of car purchase, insurance claims, service maintenance etc, creating more industrial value.
    • "Through this partnership, VeChain's services have already entered Germany which were even covered by German media, becoming one of the case study examples of Shanghai's new innovative start-ups
