The luckycoin scapegoat is so unbelievably pathetic.

Compare:
https://github.com/alerj78/lucky7coin/blob/master/src/irc.cpp
https://github.com/OriginalBatCoin/BatCoin/blob/master/src/irc.cpp

This is how many early coins found their peers.

Not only did BigVern rip everyone off, he used such a pathetic excuse which he knew everyone who can't code would believe.
Its hype like this, from people repeating 'fings they herd' - that has ruined cryptocurrency.

^ what an idiot. clearly he didn't even actually compare them, because the lucky7 coin does have an irc backdoor, and the batcoin source does not.
dooglas summed it up pretty well in his "issue"

https://github.com/alerj78/lucky7coin/issues/1

maybe barrysty1e cant read.

In addition to Dooglus' explanation if a diff tool is used you can clearly see the new code that barrysty1e claims isn't there.

Yes but Cryptsy could just disable irc in the code and such hack could then be avoided.

I do not think Cryptsy could just disable IRC, FinanceUS. Coins cloned prior to the 0.6 release of bitcoin use IRC to find peers. In more recent cloned versions of bitcoin's source it is still implemented and can be enabled using the -irc command line option. Disabling or removing IRC from a coin would not only cause it to loose this ability, it may in fact, cause the coin to not function as it does need the ability to find peers. I have not inspected Lucky 7's code to know which version of bitcoin it was cloned from or if it was cloned from a subsequent clone. But, in any form and in Cryptsy's defense, blindly removing or disabling sections of code, especially what very well may be fundamental code, is not a good practice. I am not saying Cryptsy could not have avoided this. Simply, I am saying, disabling IRC is not the way they could have been expected to avoid this because, surely their staff knew of the core necessity of IRC in coins.

Take a peek in your favorite coin's debug.log file. Search for IRC.

Something doesn't seem to add up right to me. If your running an exchange you should be building daemon code from source and not put any executables from an unknown source on critical to function computers. Since we have access to the code in question I would really like to hear a detailed technical explanation of how the code could have been used in this way.

If you ask me transparency is critical in any exchange (or any big institutions) right now. We deserve the right to know what is happening at the time it happens and not a year and half later. Trying to turn a “profit” after such an event is just plain ridiculous imho. Where's the value for 13,000 BTC and 300,000 LTC really being taken from if you think about it?

I really don't wish this situation on anyone and hope things turn out fine for everyone at whatever the outcome.

They do build daemons from source; they also audit any code before compilation/acceptance.
They also run each daemon in a chroot/jail meaning individual daemons are isolated from each other.

What i posted was the IRC module from Batcoin vs Luckycoin, they are nearly identical. My point was that the LuckyCoin accusation is a load of crap. Irc.cpp is literally a tiny IRC client that logs onto public IRC nodes, so they can find other peers to communicate with

In fact, go to github.com, type 'irc.cpp' (without the quotes) into the search box and see how many coins have this mechanism.

Next person who continues to believe BigVern is going to cop a belt from me.
His cloak and dagger/divert attention tactics are so obvious.

Just got the bad news.
Are all assets frozen on Cryptsy ? Or only BTC LTC. Hence can I pull out my DASH?

Website is not working at all - you can see your balances but no buys or sells. Closed for business.
It strikes me that an easy way to steal that much would be to claim you were hacked... and head for an island.

There is no complete trust in any EXG(platform against hackers or administration itself) around .so better to keep your coins safe in fully encrypted wallet ,so better to hit - trade - safe and quick return to the wallet () .

My mule don't like people laughing

I don't know the details of his divorce, but if his ex is trying to get his money then why not fake a hack. Keep all the BTC in a wallet for now and say its the hackers wallet. Ex-wife gets nothing.. A few years later he retires to another country without extradition treaties to the US.

Hello! Theft with cryptsy occurred much earlier than the loss are correct.
It is also strange that the thief has not yet been cashed BTC (they are not on any of the exchanges, and they are on the private purse). I think it's made himself Vern, trying to stock up on "golden parachute". Do you think I'm wrong? But remember that the faithful continued to accept deposits in the last days, when he was preparing the announcement of the closing. Vern was responsible for the means of the users and earned it, so he has to compensate fully for the damage to his negligence. Now we have to put an ultimatum: "Either Vern returns the money somehow, or he goes to jail!" Do not blanch it, he tries to cross everything on the shoulders of the user when he is guilty.

I'm not using crypsty for a long time now, I don't know why, but I started using another exchange and I don't have BTC left or alt on cryptsy.
Anyway, what's happening it's not a good thing, this means that every exchange can die soon, but this is not the news. Tomorrow could born a new exchange and even trex or ccex could die. Better be prudent with our coins.

Did anyone take into consideration that allegedly vern is in a divorce proceedings?
Had link but they changed it.

you mean he stole the money because of court debts from divorce ?? xD wtf

No a possible legal battle over the cold wallet. I think the court would freeze it until ?

When you have money - you have girls - when the money 's gone - the girls are too... Always the same, all around the world...

IMHO you know the wrong type of girls

not the wrong type, the common type!
I know the only way to avoid this divorce theft from a women, is to not marry a women under your own wealth status!
That is the only Soloution to not get divorce robbed. If you own a business, date only women with similar value assets!

damn the truth came out quickly, the damn b**** thinks she can grab our funds? i mean its client money not verns money , stupid greedy wh**** , i am really pissed ~2,5K* on the edge.

here i found this on youtube:
