Stay up to date on all things crypto and blockchain

"What AT&T did was like a hotel giving a thief with a fake ID a room key and a key to the room safe to steal jewelry in the safe from the rightful owner," the complaint alleged.

I don't really buy this line of reasoning. The heart of the matter is that the investor was using his phone number as a security measure. That's... dumb. Phone call or SMS to your number for security purposes is just dumb, since they aren't (or marketed as) secure communication methods. According to the article, the bypass was done by an employee. What kind of setup can any company provide that would have prevented that?

Serious possibility: This matter is forced into binding arbitration, and AT&T loses with the arbitrators. AT&T then could not appeal, because of their own terms of service that were meant to block large-scale judgements.

The potential for irony here is significant.

"AT&T's willing cooperation with the hacker"? The guy got his account hacked and therefore the hacker validated all cradintials to ATT, which every user agrees to as valid point of cradintials to gain access to your account.

SMS messaging, phone calls and email should NEVER be used for two factor auth. It burns me up when they insist on using sms for 2FA then tell me “they are the most secure <fill in industry type> in the world” looking at you PayPal.

I hope this guy wins and sets a precedent.

This is a frivolous lawsuit.

this is good for bitcoin

Terpin was the victim of two hacks within seven months.

You would think someone with that kind of money would use more than just sms for verification but It sounds like all this hacker would have done was hijacked his cell number to receive an sms that was needed to log in to a wallet or exchange.

No need for coingy account

Line is good for Crypto

I think they will do it once token swap is done . Could cause problems being done before .

Why tron but no ICX? :(

Today's launch is part of LINE's wider push into the cryptocurrency space and comes just a month after it officially started the operation of its cryptocurrency trading platform called Bitbox.

Raises eyebrow

It was also announced today that Bitbox has listed TRX – the native token of the June launched TRON blockchain – as the first crypto project listed on the exchange for trading following a review process conducted by a dedicated Bitbox committee.

Oh well ... that escalated quickly.

Line is not Japanese, it’s Korean.

LINE is pretty damn famous in Asia, it can be good for us.

Interesting to see BAT on the wallet images?

Toshi wallet looks really posh. Well done Coinbase.

They sign up 50,000 new users routinely and all we read are 3 to 5 bad reviews on these subs. I have no issues with CB.

Are Coinbase wallet and Coinbase custody the same thing where 30+ coins will be added in the future?

This is neat to have an easy to access dapp browser but I have some questions about how this stuff works. Let’s take NIFTYgallery for example. It looks like you have the ability to create displays of collectibles from various platforms. At the end of the day these assets live on the block chain and the creator owns the private keys. In theory if the creator makes things that others enjoy then the average joy could purchase that asset from the creator. Does anyone know what would be stopping someone from creating a counterfeit version of these digital assets and then selling them for their own profit? It just looks like pictures to me so it would be pretty east to screenshot and then reupload.

I'm experiencing this awesome 30 day hold Coinbase has on my money that it already removed from my bank. This sucks.

Sounds exactly, to the T, what OMG team is working on.

So will I get my erc20 token airdrops on my eth address on the coinbase app finally? Oh and go 0x!

fuck coinbase for milking and manipulating the hell out of the BTC listing. but, this is cool. Also Maker. Yeay

Coinbase is terrible. High fees, absent customer service, very limited number of coins offered. Why anyone would use them is beyond me.

As much shit as coinbase gets they’re really doing the most in the market to make crypto mainstream. Nothing but respect to them the past few months

If the terms are good i’ll get in and hope we get hacked to sue the shit out of them Thats a bullrun

Android users be careful, I'm not sure that the Editor's Choice "Coinbase Wallet" on Playstore is this. The one on the coinbase wallet website still links to Toshi.

You'd have to be one of the stupidest people on the planet to trust coinbase for ANYTHING. And you morons want to trust them with ALL of your crypto?

You see the first two tokens listed after ethereum on that pic though?

Cornflake

This is a great wallet. Really digging it. Grab your alias while its available.

Can’t wait to see how fun it is to get access to your wallet when you get locked out. Their support team should have no issues handling that.

Clearly the Vietnamese government does not really understand the crypto mining space nor do they have an actual plan to prevent mining other than with ASICs. If they really want to block crypto, what they are really saying is that we are opting out of the new financial future. Fools

As long as they can stop debt collectors calling, then they are doing their job good!! :D

So what you're saying is suicide is a "solution", a permanent one?

/r/titlegore

How is this even considered a crash to most of y’all? Armatures.

ETH drops below 300, dude jumps off bridge, next week it's at 550. I call that social Darwinism

Now that is a buy signal if I ever saw one.

Long $Rope

Nice virtue signaling. Nobody suicidal would actually find this generic post useful, just insulting

I won't call unless the hotline takes btc thru LN

Revolutions are bloody.

Lift weights and go for a hike in a pretty wooded area. The price will bounce back, but you have to be patient. And even if it doesn't bounce back, you can change the conditions of your life much faster and more easily than you realize.

What I tell people in the chat box where I trade when they get fatalistic - Turn off the computer. Take a shower. Pray.

For the cleaner gene pool

Suicide is a permanent solution...

I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

“I invested 800, now it's 273. In 2011 I could have gotten 8255 bitcoins for $ 273. Fuck."

No other indicator works better for a buy signal than these Suicide posts.

Their response are the words of the definitely guilty and liable.

They'll probably settle out of court for much closer to the lost amount, minimizing most of the $200 million in punitive damages.

Having worked at AT&T and knowing their policies and shit management teams they have. This was going to happen sooner or later.

He should have used a hardware wallet to store his private keys. Something like a Trezor or similar device.

Most cryptocurrencies are 100% secure if used correctly, but the rest of the internet, computers, and software are a swiss cheese of security flaws. This is part of the reason cryptos are important. Its about rebuilding the internet over a more secure protocol, so this type of thing doesn't happen.

I hope they have to pay

Oceans 14 just found their plotline.

Just spent about 30 minutes playing around with this wallet and a few DApp games.

I see the potential, but wow, just getting started in these games is painful.

I just used it, looking for other peoples feedback. It was my first experience actually using the Ethereum Network. I think buying a crypto kitty or MLB guy and putting it on shirts and mugs is cool. Most of the other apps didn't really interest me though

I’ve been using Toshi about 8 months and quite like it. It’s interesting to see (another) rebranding of it. Building on the Coinbase brand is a good idea.

If they add a fiat on-ramp within the app, and put the Coinbase marketing force behind it, this could be a feasible pathway for mainstream adoption of DApps.

That said, I always thought of it as more of a browser & chat app that just happened to have a wallet. So it will be interesting to see if this rebrand changes the direction to focus on the wallet function.

I’m surprised you are allowed to have ico coins be sent to this wallet here in the US.

Wow! This is wonderful! I know people like to talk poorly about Coinbase, but if we don't have a Coinbase who is going to really lead the institutionalized movement?

It's really gotta be about getting normal everyday people comfortable with what is new and with little contrast from what they already know.

So is it still Toshi on Android or is the link from the website incorrect?

There's a separate Coinbase app on Android as well.

This is good....what's the point in the current coinbase app now if you can buy crypto through coinbase wallet?

What does this mean?

RIP

Confused

This is amazing!
