EDIT: It seems like someone tried multiple bruteforce logins, which caused the AI to shutdown and protect the users from any loss.
EDIT2: realsolid: they used a botnet of ips to scan for user/pass that are still valid from the list
That's the story they are telling. I'm not convinced this is a 100% legit operation tbch. The details here seem sketchy. They should just reset all passwords, that is no problem at all.
What I do know is that the AI does shutdown trading if something strange happens. Last time was because the DevCoin node fucked up. To ensure no more problems it shutdown which gave RealSolid the time to fix a bug he didn't even has seen while testing the exchange.
Yea again, we have to take his word for it. If this is a scam (which it certainly could be given RS's history and his ability to disappear at a moments notice), it appears to be more of a long con, so people who are backing the service in here have no definitive proof either way. It's all anecdotal evidence.
If he cannot so much as reset passwords, that is a slight concern. This is not some silly hybrid wallet with client side encryption and double hashed passwords. This is supposedly an n-tier c++ backend. Raises an eyebrow.
I get the whole 'we can't see your pw' thing but if he is paying interest he most likely has access to the private keys for the wallet addresses, so whether or not he has your pw is irrelevant to stealing your funds. Just to point that out.
