Is this real? or a joke?
For this address yes, but not for the other address which Yani mentioned. The one to which the AE funds of 82 K ETH have been gone, they are lost, as long the Black Hat Hacker would send it back.
Or does anybody know a way to get such funds back from black hat hackers? Zack Hess says no on twitter.
Everyone,
Here is an update:
1. We have lost 1/3 of all ETH. This will not stop us building æternity! We might cut some programs that are not essential to development and may need to attract support in the future, but that will be way after mainnet launch. Everyone will get their AE tokens, 100%.
2. There is a proposal for "socializing the losses" between all projects that could have been affected if the White Hat team did not save them and the hardest hit projects (one of which is aeternity). READ MORE
3. Hacker(s) are trying to move the funds through Changelly. We are in contact with the Changelly team. READ MORE
Yanislav and Marion are in meetings all day. Once we have more info, we will share.
Thank you for your continued support. The true value of a community becomes evident in times like this.
Regards,
Vlad
Of Course, if I believe I do not only in good times, but let me say it with Theodore Roosevelt:
“It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs, who comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
but who does actually strive to do the deeds;
who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be
with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Best regards and success!
Earl
