ok problems solved, coins are safe, exchange is safe. blah blah blah move on now people

all of that for nothing  

dannac leave it please we are not going to win

you make me sick kodtycoon.

dannac leave it please we are not going to win ,, here all have a lot of investment and will not jeopardize their money, they will protect kodtycoon it does not matter if he did all that, they dont care. Its all about money. This is life. We have nothing to do. we lost

I don't know. somehow they will find a way to put everything right and you and me will be the thieves and people.

I am just back from the shop with loads of popcorn and this is all i get......

so yeah there was a hope that they would give me a bounty. its pretty standard, but it wasnt even assured that it would work. so shoot me for finding a (mostly) honest way of getting back into nem while also exposing a weakness.

They turned down an offer to sell the NODE chain and not long after disappeared.  NODEads, which is same company, is still active and posting job ads.  Did they abandon the coin or are they depressing the price to stock up?   If abandoned, even garbage coins will be pumped at some point..

You are the one making a claim without evidence, that's a false accusation, actually it's punishable by law and it's called slander. So when you state something like that you better publish the evidence or STFU!

Hey kodtycoon, since you're here: What happened with NODE coin? You disappeared and so far it looks like silkk is on vacation again.

ok this has gone on way too long.

firstly, the core team and exchanges were informed straight away post hack, coins that were taken from the exchange were returned, and subsequently the CEO of the exchange that was hacked gave me a bounty which i didnt even ask for. ( i did mention to another member of the team that i hope i get one, but a request for one was never put forward by myself for a bounty).

The hack, which was more social engineering to be honest, is not nem specific. it is to do with how exchanges handle certain aspects of particular coins. i could have done it with a number of other coins. it is not a technical fault in any coin, its a workflow fault of exchanges, which as far as i know has now been fixed.

CECVW contacted me, requesting that i help him claim coins. (a stake that has not been touched since genesis). the address he gave me was the polo address, which at the time i didnt realize, so it was sent without a message. i already had this "hack" in mind a few weeks prior but because i had no coins, and couldnt have expected anyone to just hand me a sizable amount of coins to test it with, so the delay him getting polo to return the coins was the perfect opportunity test the hack that i was pretty sure would work, which it did. yes i was wrong for taking advantage of a users inability to use the client and claim coins, but quite frankly, i knew he was going to dump anyway, so i figured it was for "the greater good". should a user with malicious intent have figured out the hack, exchanges could have possibly been cleaned out of nem, or a number of currencies which would have been disastrous for all coins and exchanges involved.

my thinking behind it was that i could test exchange x and exchange y, before he even noticed the coins were missing, which would have worked flawlessly only for the support at exchange y was horrifically slow so polo had notified him that someone else had claimed the coins before him. at this point, i informed him what i was doing, and should the coins have already been returned to me i could have returned them at that point, when he was pretty ok with the whole thing other than being a little annoyed i had caused him worry (understandably). but i figured after 2 years of helping him with NUMEROUS things, he would have forgiven me considering i was doing for a just cause. i was wrong.

i couldnt do anything at this point because the withdraw from exchange y had failed, something wrong with their deamon or something and i hadnt gotten my bounty yet so i couldnt return the coins from that. my hands were tied at this point. i showed proof of this but it wasnt enough, he started to flip.

i must also point out, that his main point of concern at this time was how much i managed to hack, and how big my bounty was, and whether he would get a cut of it. i felt no obligation to provide this information  at this point so i didnt. soon after i received what can only be described as a threat to "out" me and in return he would get a bounty from the nem team for "outing" my devious behavior and also saying the he would "destroy nem" and that this would be the end of nem   essentially trying, and failing, to blackmail me into giving him a cut, but not in so many words, ill post the screen shot if need be, was already shown to the core guys either way.

at some point after he had first publicly posted, i got the bounty and returned his coins. (after requesting an address a couple of times.) so the whole issue was resolved a long time ago at this stage.  

yes i admit i may have been a bit devious in the way i used his coins, but frankly i could have a) just run off with his coin or b) used the hack multiple times with multiple coins and run off with all his coins and made a FORTUNE. instead i went about it the most honest way i knew. i honestly did not think that anyone would just hand over thousands of euros worth of coins to me because i had a hunch that a hack might work. if doing what i did results in an exchange not being cleaned out, which would have lead to a crash in what ever coins market and the possible closure of said exchange then i think i did the right thing. either way, its certainly not going to be the end of nem lol

also he likely benefited if he was going to just dump the coins too because the price was up about 20% when i returned the coins compared to when the coins should have hit his account had he just claimed them himself. i know thats besides the point but still..

anyway, he didnt really have any issue with the way i used his coins up until he got zero information about whether i would give him a cut of the bounty or how much of a bounty i got. it was at that point he threatened me with destroying nem, outing me as a hacker and telling the exchanges and then decided to freak out when his threat didnt work.
 
CECVW i have proof of all of this too if you would like to contend it. i just couldnt be bothered preparing screenshots unless its needed.

How do you know he didn't?  Are you his secretary,  or maybe a relative,  or neighbour? Or accountant??

Disagree, I am 100 percent Pro Kodty, he did what he had to do and did the right thing, we are talking about the issue till which extent does Kodty value integrity. Well obviously he could have made himself a ton of XEM had he just hacked the exchanges, which he didn't, so he is to be appraised and not condemned. C and D just happen to be whiny people who like to create a scene (possibly for FUD purposes).

He may argue the intent was good but, as whiny as Dannac is, Kodtycoon took advantage of someone who lost some stakes and I didn't read it to be ethical.  Not that Kodtycoon ever marketed much in the past months, but I think this would be his resignation or termination as a core marketer.
