Stay up to date on all things crypto and blockchain

at this pace POS will never arrive, they are over conservative. After listening to core dev meeting #53 I'm really losing confidence in the developers.

A list of contracts that may become vulnerable to reentrancy (with the most Ether holdings) have been flagged by our automated analyses:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YXqiSnaDBGMNySwr0q37c_dSQffJN_KR6PGj-7zZoQY/edit#gid=728169412

​

We use the static analysis platform underlying https://www.contract-library.com to produce these results. Please help by inspecting some of these contracts using your favorite tool. We have produced decompiled output for most of these on contract-library, but it is still a work-in-progress (will be improved soon). However, our internal representation we used for the analysis is stable and complete.

​

We'll keep updating the list of warnings (as a more precise analyses are running).

​

Correction to a post I made earlier today where I erroneously referred to and linked a video following the "Constantinople upgrade". The is in fact a live-stream, jokingly dubbed "ConstantiNOPEle" where the Ethereum Foundation monitors the blockchain at the block where the now postponed hard fork was to take place. This is so as to remain vigilant in case of any unforeseeable outcomes, however remote, which is consistent with their 'abundance of caution' approach.

The gang makes a cryptocurrency.

For how long? Any ETA?

This is uncharted territory. Ethereum is not a company, it’s a decentralized blockchain that depends on volunteer developers to push the network forward. Yes there are grants and incentives if you hold ETH and the price rises, but no salaries. If you hold ETH and don’t contribute to the ecosystem, can you really be upset at volunteer devs working their tail off on your behalf?

Another constant problem Ethereum will have to face: endless possibilities for vulnerabilities. I expect "Ethereum hack" to be a more common headline pairing than for other cryptocurrencies for years to come.

The comments in here are very positive which is good and important for morale. However, keep in mind that Ethereum was supposed to deliver the Metropolis upgrade two years ago, and this last implementation has been scheduled several times already. The developers sat on a finished implementation for months without discovering this (actually non-critical) bug (I guess its not really a bug, but a design error in earlier contracts). There are also indications, but no proof, of questionable price movements surrounding the 11th hour discovery of the bug, coupled with recent dubious progpow developments. Hard to tell facts from fiction though. Nevertheless, the postponement of the first Casper implementation also looks somewhat questionable, in retrospect. Wonder who decided that and why? In any case, its all water under the bridge now. The important thing is that some strong hands come together and steer the ship in the right direction the next couple of months and that hybrid Casper or full Casper arrives as soon as possible (It doesn't seem like the market has time to wait for Vlad Zamfir's laudable correct-by-construction approach. That's not how the world works unfortunately).

Maybe it would be better to do 1-2 EIPs at a time, maybe every few months rather than trying to bundle in all of this at once.

#yikes

Damn, I just removed all my manual SSTORE optimizations. Guess I'll Ctrl + Z them back in xD

Thanks to the people reviewing code and saving us all again from a DAO type hack

Just a few more blocks to go...

32 hours to get everyone to update their nodes to versions of software which aren't released yet. Unbelievable. All to protect a re-entry attack not yet found on-chain in the wild. It's a tough decision, but this kind of thing makes me really skeptical about the practicality of this kind of upgrade process for a distributed network like this.

Noob question but what’s the reason people have to update their nodes, if they’re not doing a form anymore?

I will be running a "forked" geth constantinople node out of protest until the actual fork occurs. This is the only thing I know how to do in protest beyond bitching on reddit. Get it fixed, people. Stat.

Sad about another delay but totally necessary with the potential of re-entrance vulnerabilities... I guess moving forward with this... perhaps they can have a little more time to discuss the potential PoW change whether ProgPow or another EIP for when they set the HF date, I’m assuming it will take around a month or so at least in this delay?

Lol

While disappointing, I appreciate the fact that it was discovered before it was on the mainnet. Keep up the hard work guys.

Nothing is easy in the world of blockchain and smart contracts. What matters is the solid team and foundation behind ETH. It's better to realize the vulnerability now than later.

And back to $80 we go. Best possible outcome but still a terrible thing.

Can anyone make an educated guess on how long this delay will be? Are we talking weeks or months? And why do you think that?

Like a user said in the other thread: An upgrade oracle could have been a nice last line of defense to have. For anybody that doesn't know the oracle would be a smart contract where a few people that are responsible for the fork can give a go/no-go signal all the way up until the final block in case a critical vulnerability shows up.

Contracts that increase their probability to being vulnerable are contracts that utilize a transfer() or send() function followed by a state-changing operation. An example of such a contract would be one where two parties jointly receive funds, decide on how to split said funds, and initiate a payout of those funds.

Update your nodes folks!

Well done developers for finding out a bug in the ETH's upgrade. This type of problems should be treated seriously since we're talking about funds of the users, and this type of problem existed in the hard fork is really serious. Attackers can withdraw your funds forever. Since this has been found out, there will be no problems in the future. Good job!

The interesting thing is that at the same time there are rumors about banning the use of the word Ethereum in Google Ads. It seems that bloating negative agiotage around Ethereum is used by manipulators to reduce its price.

Another happy day for miners ;)

I see how everyone was excited and how everyone wanted to get this out, but I certainly think it is a good call to delay in such scenario. Thumbs up!

I’m holding ETH for a brighter future.

Finding this out now is a major red flag and in most situations calls for the firing of whoever let it slip by. Also as well known it will rattle whatever confidence still remains.

just a couple of blocks left

So do we sell before the hard fork or hold?

More time for the miners at 3 eth per block. But also more inflation.

Sometimes I"m amazed at people who would support ETH as a project, which has ultimately come out to not support its supporters in kind with all of those "Improvements" which cripple user support and strengthen centralization. I'm glad they caught this so the users didn't get fucked, but at this point, does anybody actually give a flying fuck about ETH beyond people who stockpiled AMD cards?

if the developer didn't see it before upgrade then goodbye ETH.

Awwww crap.

I'm not attacking the devs because I don't know enough to criticize. But I also don't agree with those giving them a pass because "coding is hard". Lots of things are difficult. If they need longer, than they need longer... But the devs must expect those on the outside will question their own faith in the project. That seems only fair to me.

Fud right on target again

Good luck to the maniacs thinking this is a good time to buy.. god speed..

Always delayed

Has any specific projects that might be effected by it been identified?

Sell sell sell...

This is a really bad look. I might have underestimated the execution risk with this project.

Wow, how they miss that? That could have of been really bad.

Called a reentrancy attack, the vulnerability essentially allows an attacker to “reenter” the same function multiple times without updating the user about the state of affairs. Under this scenario, an attacker could essentially be “withdrawing funds forever,” said Joanes Espanol

​

I've been giving these devs the benefit of the doubt for a long ass time now, but I'm really starting to question the abilities of the team they've put together. This fucking upgrade is already a year behind schedule and now just days before the HF they find a MAJOR security flaw?! Something needs to change there. I don't know if Vitalik just doesn't have what it takes to lead a team or if they need to find better devs, but this is starting to feel like vaporware. OTHER PROJECTS WILL WIN IF ETHEREUM CAN'T EVER PRODUCE THE FUCKING PRODUCT THEY'VE BEEN PROMISING FOR YEARS NOW

Why is this just being discovered days before the hard fork?? Not a very good look. Obviously it's good that they postponed it, but still. Seems like we dodged a bullet on this one.

Is there a technical reason they can't just remove that particular EIP I assume? Or that they don't want to have to network upgrade without it and then have it come in an additional upgrade or part of the next major one?

No

"As you can see with Vladislav Ginko’s latest tweets, he presently cites the articles based on his own tweets as evidence of his claims ... The Telegraph even upgraded Ginko from an academic to a “Kremlin economist.”

Ginko also makes bizarre tweets like the following, where he claims convicted Ponzi scheme operator Bernie Madoff is the true Satoshi Nakamoto" pphttps://www.ccn.com/fake-news-why-russia-is-probably-not-planning-a-10-billion-bitcoin-buy/

This is good for everyone except Russia

Putin should start a crypto exchange and advertise it to all the little virgin Trumpets in The_Donald and KotakuInAction.

I mean, most of the subscribers of those subs is a Russian bot anyway. Seems like leaving money on the table to not do so.

How can you buy $10B bitcoin even OTC without ridiculously pumping the price and thus overpaying. Once you have this much bitcoin how can you actually use it to buy and pay for stuff. Or will it be a HODL.

I transferred my wifes saving at $297 what a disaster

No. #saveyouaclick

How does this shit even get circulated. Does anyone actually believe this will happen?

Trash lol

It's obvious fake news, the main source is a tweet from 6 jan from twitter user @martik who calls himself Vladislav Ginko. This over 10 year old account started tweeting about cryptocurrencies only a few months ago , all earlier tweets are about teeth whitening.

Stop posting this junk. Fake news

Still posting this fake news in an attempt to pump then dump bitcoins?!

The bear has it beat out of me...trying hard to...there goes the hope, sorry guys.

scam

$10B governmental money investment in Ethereum or Bitcoin? Also why investing in crypto, when they have petroleum?

6 days ago it was a wild speculation on a pro-bitcoin website: https://toshitimes.com/russia-plans-to-replace-u-s-dollar-with-bitcoin/

And now there's news agencies reporting it as credible news. It doesn't seem reporters have done any fact checking.

Australian crypto news website micky.com claims to have spoken with Vladislav Ginko, a lecturer at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration in Moscow.

http://www.atimes.com/article/russia-will-buy-bitcoin-to-avoid-us-sanctions-economist-claims/

Inb4 hoax story to jack up the value of bitcoin for another sell off.

Still looking for ways around the Sanctions, eh?

FAKE NEWS!
This is just a pathetic intent of exchanges, banskters, 3 letters agencies to bring people into believing this shit, so they start moving the price up and then happily dump it again. Is just a game to fool noobs to jump into "trading" shit.

Is not working anymore this trap, suckers!

I'm also planning a $10 Billion Bitcoin investment!

I already see the dump once it is debunked.

Is it though?

It is amazing how fast fake news spread.

wasn't this debunked as false?

Is it Bitcoin exclusively or other coins such as Ether and XRP too?

They must know the importance of larger blocks.

"Coinstar is always looking for new ways to offer value to our consumers when they visit our kiosks, and Coinme's innovative delivery mechanism along with Coinstar's flexible platform makes it possible for consumers to easily purchase Bitcoin with cash," Coinstar CEO Jim Gaherity said in the announcement, first reported by GeekWire.

With 20,000 machines around the world, Coinstar operates a pretty huge network that could be enabled to dispense digital currency.

The Coinstar Bitcoin locator tool wouldn't point us to any local kiosks when we tried, but if you can track one down, buying Bitcoin from the updated machines sounds pretty easy.

Funny, because over the last year bitcoin has turned my hard earned cash into pocket change.

FYI: It gives you a code, then you enter the code at their website where it asks for your name, E-mail, phone number, images of your ID card and a selfie... then, after verification, you get your bitcoin.

Do they still take their 20% cut?

This is a great fit/application of these machines

I love the application since these things are everywhere but 4% is a bit much. I guess that's the price of convenience.

I wanna dump bags of change in it and get BTC back that would be so sickkk

Ok, but does the grocery store accept BTC? :p

Sorry fellas it's not called Shitstar, Bcash will not be sold here.

So is this every coin star, or only a select few?

The FAQ

Currently, our wallets support only Bitcoin and Uptoken. Please do not send any other cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin Cash, to your Coinme wallet, as we will not be able to retrieve them, and they may be permanently lost.

when dogecoin?

Well, coin star is currently charging about 10% to paper your fiat coins, I wonder what percentage, rate and fees would apply. I sure hope it will be fair and not a ripoff

Here is the link to the original comment thread. Or you can comment here to start a discussion. Author: newsybitcoin

Well done !!!

Hmmm! good news :)

wow this would be very interesting and exciting!

Can’t use fiat coins. Boooooo.

Great news. (y)

This is hilarious actually. If it catches on you can pay 10% fees to coinstar and $5-$10+ (if you're lucky) to get your BTC. Or like what, open a lightning channel? Ridiculous.

I will downvote the hell out of any news article promoting ponzi schemes.

There's really no reason to clarify you mean BTC. There's only a small bunch of extremists that consider Bitcoin as anything but BTC. It's just a shame that one if them owns Bitcoin.com.

That's great! Can you get BSV that way?

So.... Pro Tip.... not a smart way to launder chump change. Got it. Thanks.

It looks like only bills are allowed and the fee is 4%. That’s not bad and a lot safer than LBC.

[Every single time I go to the coin star it's not working] (https://twitter.com/gabegundacker/status/969323494092701697?lang=en)

"Users won’t have the satisfaction of turning a physical coin into a digital one: bitcoin can only be purchased with cash, up to a limit of $2,500."

So you will not be able to directly buy BTC from coins, causing a double fee if you turn coins to cash, then buy BTC with cash. Super lame

https://www.geekwire.com/2019/can-now-buy-bitcoin-coinstar-kiosks/

Was stoked until I saw that you can't use the machine for it's inherent purpose to buy bitcoins

I used to be a big fan of bitcoins but then I started to understand how the bitcoin economy depends on electricity and our ability to perform raw high performance computing. For that reason, Bitcoins are a huge, quantifiable environmental problem. I understand physical money is also a problem and that the internet is a problem but this is also an issue that already has effects here because of hydroelectric power and bit coin mining on the columbia

Another local business cashing in on drug epidemic.

Don't get too excited. The US target is 50 states and 2 territories. They have gotten  1  30 of the 52 done so far. It has taken Coinbase 6 years and they still haven't gotten to all 52 target US regions. They are still waiting on Hawaii and Virgin Islands.

Coinstar strikes me as one of those 20 year old startups still looking for a great business idea.

Very pumped to turn my loose change into something that can be used to purchase assassinations on the dark web!

Coinstar partnered with our bitcoin ATM company (Coinme/UpToken) to make this happen. There are over 20,000 Coinstar machines worldwide!

wait...there are still Albertsons?

Have up to $2500 of cash that you want to make untraceable but not use store gift cards? Now you can turn it into bitcoin at a grocery store! wcgw?

edit: I'm using old.reddit and didn't mark this as OC. It looks like reddit shit the bed in their redesign. Sorry mods.

BTC*

*For a limited time

Ugh. Gross

Yes, and Coinstar has over 20,000 kiosks globally!

This is now live in Washington, California, Arizona, Texas, Illinois and Indiana at retailers including Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, Pavilions, Tom Thumb, United, Jewel-Osco, Randalls, Market Street, Strack & Van Til, and more.

UpToken integration is coming too, so this is FANTASTIC news for UpToken buyers/holders.

Thanks for a good post!

This is a fucking excellent post.

Thank you.

Great post,left out Nexo tho...any particular reason?

Worth to read.

Thx for this article.

in the year of 2018 the keyword is BUIDL, but for me, there's another called BEYOND HYPE. We've seen so many progress in Ethereum through the price is declining.

Many people in China are talking about"Ethereum is too big and too old to make progress", "Gavin Wood has left and Vitalik is leaving, Ethereum is doomed" , But I've seen more and more teams are working toward a better EThereum.

When there's a change, there's always have a curve like"J". It's high in the beginning and decline to the bottom then rise , just like the characteristic "J". Crowds will see the technology too powerful and hype it first. But after a while, we will figure it out that the technology is useful only to a section of issues, not an all-bug-killer. Then. the curve will rise.

For now, we are living in an era in which technologies have unlimited power. New technology will always solve elder issues. The problem brought by the Internet, blockchain will solve it.

​

Proud to say i read this whole thing and understood like a good 70%. I've come a long way in this bear market.

wondered why still on Medium, but not change to WordPress or other self-setup platform

Thanks for this, serves as a great summary of how the ecosystem has expanded and what remains to be done. Of disappointment to me is the lack of apparent progress on Digital Identity, Self Sovereign Data and Reputation solutions that I believe will be key to many types of social decentralised applications in the future. I know there are at least some parties working on these, would be good for their efforts to be brought to wider attention.

Keeping track of everything in this ecosystem is becoming more and more difficult every week.

Absolute must read. Great job summarizing the most important events in a clear and easy-to-understand way. It's an exciting time for Ethereum!

delays

ASICs mining the fuck out of the chain and selling

ICOs shitting their pants selling the fuck out of donated ETH

The End. Let's hope the 2019 sequel sees our young heroes make progress.

Losing my monies

Suicidal thoughts

nothing

Edit : Down-voting me is not going to change the facts , we did not achieved anything in 2018 apart from delays and more delays.

Depreciate by 10x?

Rome wasn't built in a day and apparently, neither was Constantinople. And ETH 2.0 won't be built in a day either as we go forward from here.

If you really think the Ethereum ecosystem has stalled out in the past year, I suggest you read the article linked in this post title (@jjmstark/the-year-in-ethereum-87a17d6f8276">also here). It's a great summary of some of the biggest accomplishments in the Ethereum ecosystem over the past year. Shoutout to Josh Stark (L4), Evan Van Ness (Week in Ethereum, ConsenSys), and Daniel Zakrisson (hardfork.se) for writing it.

If you've been around emerging technology investment before, you know that the period between rapid and publicly hyped developments can often feel like an eternity. That is when many lose interest, and often when buying opportunities present themselves before subsequent cycles begin.

I know days and weeks can feel like months, and months like years here in crypto space. That's why it's even more important to maintain perspective around the pace of development, and respond to emerging market developments first with equanimity (if you can), and try to find context and perspective, before having visceral or emotional reactions which may cost you money or create mental anguish.

Can't wait for 2019.

this is a must read.

Really great roundup of the year.

Josh generously shared the byline. But he definitely shouldered the burden of pushing this from idea to publication.

I see a lot of positive information in this article and in the overall development of Ethereum. Not surprisingly, opponents of this platform have recently intensified spreading negative news about Ether. During the ICO EOS, more than four billion dollars were raised, and the product is still raw. The team of Ethereum collected only a few million, and the product occupies more than 85 percent of the market and has clear perspectives for further development. I believe in Ethereum.

Great post. If you take the long (2015-2016) view, it’s quite amazing how far it has come. Thanks for the write up. Will share.

I would like to forget 2018, thank you.

Bakkt is a meme wrt to positive movement in price.

The vapor picture kinda fits Bakkt

More promises without regulatory approval, don’t think anyone’s interested in theses stories.

yawn cool guys.

goodluck bakkt team!

BAAKT will be remembered for nothing more than their cool art

God damn...ceo of Bakkt is a fucking cutie

What the fuck is bakkt

Can anyone here even explain why BAKKT is a good thing? Or are you the same users who thought that Institutional money was good for Bitcoin.

Shill me bakkt? Have no idea what it is..

lets keep watching how crypto will fair soon, success

I have been loving the space more

How TF does a company like this get over $180mil in first round funding 🤤

Bakkts first acquisition? So they turned into a holding group? How about just launch the product you promised everyone?

BAKKT is looking to be a major player, they offer a lot of interesting ideas on their platform and have a good rep...will definitely be a successful project imo

Tldr?

Good news, but I can see approval taking longer than the bulls think. Their mistake was announcing a launch date before approval was given, nothing is certain in crypto especially approval and compliance! But still, I look forward to Bakkt coming to fruition.

Arriving late is better than never arriving

our mission is to build the first integrated, institutional grade exchange-traded markets and custody solution for physical delivery of digital assets.

I hate it already. Stop talking like this.

This makes it sound like they are not ready to roll yet. Wouldn't be surprised if there is another delay.

Bullish.

Liquidity is comin. It's gonna be a bumpy ride yeeehaw! 🤠

Is that the reason for the 4b pump in the market cap suddenly

Could this be the reason for the sudden jump in ETH price?

It is useless to link to the zerohedge subreddit
Please use the link of the actual article on the zerohedge site

As much as I think that for an individual bitcoin is more practical than gold... I am not sure the same can be said for a central bank.

Storing gold for an individual is a problem. For a country like Russia with the 2nd or 3rd world military? It isn’t.

Easy transfer of money... again... very good for an individual. For a central bank though? It would be very dangerous to have an individual or even a group of individuals with the private keys. Keep in mind that such individuals could steal all bitcoins yet be granted the red carpet in the US...

Then what about fungibility? Wouldn’t we reasonably know which address belong to such a large holder? Could those addresses be black listed or something? At the end of the day Russia would need the assurance that the balance could easily be converted back to USD. How do you exchange $10 billion worth of bitcoin? Do you just go to coinbase?

Vitalik meets with Putin lol.

I'm ready for mempool moon, gonna get a big old short this time.

If Russia actually did this, would that mean war?

100% absolute bullshit and nonsense.

Yeah, but what about the BTC mempool? They should buy BCH, instead.

unless an official announcement is made, or the buying happens, this isnt news.

They can’t. Because Bitcoin is freedom. Russia doesn’t like freedom

If this is true, then I am Vladimir Putin ;-)

If they won’t, I will..

If its the same Vladislav Ginko as in:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ox__o8JOmk

http://vestnikkavkaza.net/news/Does-Kiev-allow-itself-not-to-pay-loans.html

Then it could indeed be credible. The real Dr. Ginko ought to confirm if its fake news.

I don’t believe you.

Firstly, I don't believe in this for a second.

But imagine the KYC crap people may have to go through if in fact russia does try this? It actually makes very little sense for them to do so, so I'm not actually worried, but how annoying would that be.

BTC will crumble under that pressure. Get ready for $100 fees everybody!

One would think that once "fake" news is spread wide, some would start accepting it for the truth. This should be good for the eco-system and thus we should encourage any and all news. As to say not be to fast to deem something as"fake". In fact a certain "cold-war" approach should be used. As in the common comment: "The enemy is doing this, so should we".

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Such excite! Huge update, great job guys! In the process of updating now.

Cool, gonna check it out. Anyone know if you can do crypto to crypto exchanges or even purchase for fiat?

Why don't we create a xmr.to plugin allowing users to pay with XMR in OpenBazaar? This should be easy to do.

OpenBazaar already had a ShapeShift plugin in the past, which allowed to pay in any currency.

I haven't looked at open bazaar in about a year. I really liked the concept but had to wade through hundreds of listings for pointless items and found very little of value on there. Is there good products on there now? I am hoping that this will one day be very popular.

I treat any market that doesn't at the least have a Monero payment option as compromised by the state. Of course optimum is mandatory Monero only if you truly care about your customers' privacy and safety.

I've always been fond of the OpenBazaar community. On one hand, you really have the BTC community pushing for Bisq, and on the other, you really have the BCH community pushing for OpenBazaar.

Monero tags along nicely with Bisq, but I think tagging with OpenBazaar shouldn't be underestimated when you consider how hard the average BCH community member pushes for adoption.

No matter what you think about the two little tribes, they each have their advantages and it's always nice when projects team tag along.

I would like to see not only OpenBazaar integration, but development too.

Hi I listed Bch for Btc and Bch for Zec! I see the listings on my store but not on the crypto listing page that shows offers from all sellers!

i dont get it why you are adding shitcoins to your multiwallet feature.

I hope you know that it is possible to trace all transactions in bitcoin, bitcoin cash, litecoin, ethereum and zcash? (nobody is using shielded transactions in zcash - and with the trusted ceremony, nobody wants to use zcash anyway)

Monero is the only cryptocurrency thats private and untracable.

So at the end Bitcoin & Monero is the real deal, these are the only true cryptocurrencies that matters, everything else is a shitcoin.

​

Great! Good job!

Time for the Monero community to get this coin merged into a project that seems to be purpose-built for it!

That is really cool!

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

 ^(If you follow any of the above links, please respect the rules of reddit and don't vote in the other threads.) ^(Info ^/ ^Contact)

Can't wait for :

1. use the API to make it possible to show products I have on OB in a webshop,
2. a feed option in OB which makes it possible to show products I have in my webshop on OB,
3. Option to pay for the products I see in a webshop with coming Haven app

Very slick. That will do much for usability.

Instead of focusing on supporting shitcoins, it might make more sense to focus on UX and discovery?

Still waiting for privacy currency support.

Who wants to jump thru hoops with btc and privacy.

DO NOT WITHDRAW FROM THIS EXCHANGE IT IS A SCAM. who even is gerald cotten? has anyone ever seen him or seen an interview? he died in india? the place where you can give $100 to anyone and they will kill someone for you ? it would take very little money to fake a death in india. they are trying to scam everyone report the website how ever you can and contact lawyers

Sorry to hear this.

To many of those in this subreddit. Someone just passed away, and you only care about a death certificate, that this story is bs, that they deserved it for running this exchange into the ground, etc

Get a grip. Take a look in the mirror. Life is much more important than you know of. Get your head out of imaginary coins for once and show some respect. Posting hate on this is showing how detached you are from reality. This could have been anyone.

I call bullshit.

"Died over a month ago in India while opening an orphanage, but we're just now telling everyone"

Just like everything else that comes out of Quadriga, this "Poochie died on the way back to his home planet" shit reeks of BS.

F

RIP

Condolences.

Such sad news. He really did a lot of the Canadian Bitcoin scene. Him and his team. My deepest condolences to everyone around him, his family, and especially his wife. Definitely hard times now...

Rest in peace Gerald.

LOL. Give me the death certificate.

RIP Gerry :(

;| probably never could get over losing that much ether

Allegedly passed away with how many lies quadriga has told the past couple month this hasnt been confirmed please change title

wtf...this stinks to high heaven.

What if he faked his death and ran off with the money? I’d have to see him in an open faced coffin to verify.

RIP Old Friend

My condolences to the family. Rest In Peace.

Gerald Cotten reddit account is Quadrigacx last time he posted was on the 10th yet he died on the 9? Exit scam !
