Just to be sure, is it too early to update my  storage wallet to version v0.9.2.40XCurrency-2.42?
or i need to stay in version v0.9.1.50x11-coin-1.0 for the moment.

no its not fud dude.. the exchange was hacked.

look at XC DRK VRC URO CLOAK........
when any coin Price increases,FUD is come as promised always

Badass.  If I had more than 10 twitter followers I'd be tweeting this all day long... I hope some of you can get the word out better than I can haha.

every message is going through... its like an msn / irc type chat.. he is receiving the messages instantly and replying, there is no delay.

What is most cool about this - is the messages are not going point to point.  And so we know what that means

I thought that mintpal was the only secure and so reliable exchange.
and, as you say, they will continue to "maintain" the security hole in the name of trading?!

Awesome thanks for the update, so far it sounds like every message has gone through.

Even a hard fork wont solve the issues. Cryptsy is falling fast, all the BTC that is exchanging hands can not be undone.

you would think they would STOP all trading on the exchange and ALL withdrawls until they fix their shit.. but nahh... continue business as usual... wtf.

Please read the entirety of this post.

A few hours ago we were unfortunately the subject of a successful attack against the exchange. Our investigations have shown that whilst our security was breached, VeriCoin was the target. We would like to stress that VeriCoin and the VeriCoin network has not been in any way compromised. We have worked to secure the exchange and the withdraw process from any further attack.

As it stands at the moment the following applies:

1) We lost a considerable amount of VeriCoin in the attack, however we have been working with the VRC developers and all major exchanges to hard fork the coin at a position before the attack. This will allow us to retrieve the stolen coins and facilitate all withdrawals. We are also working with various exchanges to accommodate any losses they may encouter as a result of the required fork.

2) We are currently processing withdrawals for all other coins.

As I'm sure you will appreciate, our support channels will most likely be very busy over the coming hours/days so please bear with us.

We would like to personally extend our thanks to the VeriCoin developers and the other exchanges who have pulled out all of the stops to ensure that your VRC funds are safe.

thanx for testing, for some reason I am really hyped for the EM feature, it gives some kind of exclusive club feeling, being here in its startup!

From MP: "A few hours ago we were unfortunately the subject of a successful attack against the exchange. Our investigations have shown that whilst our security was breached, VeriCoin was the target".

WoW!

Totally agree about the long alphanumeric code... but...

Brainwallet does not mean you have to remember endless alphanumeric code. The NXT just didn't do the optimised loggining in version. Loggining in to brainwallet is sth different then the braiwallet itself - technology which allows the whole network to remember your wallet money and tranactions like online banking.

Loggining in should just be put simply - login + password + protecting wallet against brute force by using increasing time delays of loggining in to a wallet (for attackers IP) + using minimum time between loggining in. I think we could even do network 1 sec time frames for loggining in. It's not suffer for user to wait 1 sec, but for brute force attack it would take a lot of time.

The other thing is synchronising two wallets (brain wallets) on 2 separate devices for transaction authorisation (I have the idea written somewhere), so that even if someone brute force your account will do nothing

After all if my wallet is not as trusted as my bank account (loosing my debit card, loosing the pin or loosing a token does not mean I lost my money) then the technology is simply not for people. It's not secure.

PS
If you are interested in creating sth user-friendly (currently the is no user-friendly cryptocoin) then I can give you some ideas. Just PM me if you are developer and want your coin to be revolutionary = easy and secure for people

Using money must be easy like for idiots, otherwise they are not usefull iven if the are great new technology.

From the wording of the release they did, it sounds like it.

I think within the last couple of hours, they have a statement about VRC and its been taken off the trading market on both bittrex and mintpal:
