https://www.digifinex.com/ is apparently planing to list Monero. By saying planing I mean planing, they did nothing about it yet. So will probably take some time, but they plan to add it. It is Singapore based exchange. And although you probably never heard of it, they are 15th exchange by volume in last 30 days. Ahead of Kraken, Bittrex and Poloniex.
Nice

Good news, does it require KYC?

I believe in this coin. I am sure that anonymous coins will be in high demand in a few years. Monero can become the most popular coin among anonymous coins.

Monero developers have disclosed a major bug that could really have been nasty. Until now, attackers could have drained Monero from exchanges (or any organizational wallet), all for the cost of a few transaction fees.

I think that last sentence is the most important of all. We are still in the beginning of a great change. Many bugs will occur. It is important to support projects that have the most developers who are passionate about the possibilities offered by cryptocurrencies.
Supporting projects that exist just as a money grab or as a copy and past can leave you with nothing on a 0-day. I'm looking at you Electroneum.
Lol right, anyway it was not a bug that effected the chain and was more akin to a counting bug with the side effect of lowering the total coins so...

Monero developers have disclosed a major bug that could really have been nasty. Until now, attackers could have drained Monero from exchanges (or any organizational wallet), all for the cost of a few transaction fees.
“A bug in the wallet software allowed a determined attacker to cause significant damage to organizations present in the Monero ecosystem with minimal cost,” declares the official statement. “[…] A determined attacker could burn the funds of an organization’s wallet whilst merely losing network transaction fees.”
Without getting too technical – the Monero blockchain can actually “burn” XMR under certain circumstances, as can Bitcoin and Ethereum.
In Monero’s case, the blockchain assumes transactions between identical stealth addresses to be illegitimate transactions, and “burns” one of the them, allowing just a single “correct” transaction through.
Monero’s blockchain doesn’t remove or replace burned XMR – it just makes it unusable.
The Monero community has known about burning when transactions occur between identical stealth addresses for a while – but security researchers have only just discovered that it allows hackers to siphon XMR directly from external wallets.
The disclosure steps through this process. After modifying a Monero wallet to make transactions using the same stealth address as the target wallet, “[attackers] send, say, a thousand transactions of one XMR to an exchange.”
“Because the exchange’s wallet does not warn for this particular abnormality (i.e. funds being received on the same stealth address), the exchange will, as usual, credit the attacker with 1,000 XMR,” a Monero dev explains.
“The attacker then sells his XMR for BTC and lastly withdraws this BTC. The result of the hacker’s action(s) is that the exchange is left with 999 unspendable / burnt outputs of 1 XMR.”
Developers created a private fix to distribute (in secret) to major exchanges and merchants so as not to draw any attention during the patching process. Monero devs note that it appears no losses were incurred due to the bug.
The statement ends with a stern warning: “This event is again an effective reminder that cryptocurrency and the corresponding software are still in its infancy and thus quite prone to (critical) bugs.”

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why you use DASH.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why you use DASH.
So you can have a premine dumped on your ass? Oh wait you mean because a bug was fixed that could have hypothetically been exploited to destroy coins and never was exploited?
Lol Dash surely can't say that! Dash only forks away future coins to make the premine worth more. Well, back to gnore for you.
But they can say look we took out our masternodes because they don't work and you'll get busted using them and we will dump the coins from our premined masternodes on your ass as well.
That explains why all online services have been in maintenance mode the past days
I took the uncertainly time to buy.
Missed 175 but got some @.0176

Whats up with polo and other exchanges freezing xmr for the last couple days?
Maybe there's a surprise once it goes back up again... Like a new release, or fluffypony popping out of a giant XXXL cake as a rainbow unicorn or something.
But the thing is, we wait and not worry about it too much. It's pretty much all we can do.
I believe in this coin, because it seems to me that similar anonymous coins have a great future. People want to be completely anonymous in crypto.
Something that then makes many people do not hesitate to invest in Monero. This is proven by a research data that Monero is ranked 10th as the most popular and most widely used crypto currency in the world. This fact makes Monero's prospects very promising. I don’t now if I should be worried or not
It’s always good to be worried just in case. What if nothing happens and you missed a good opportunity to worry?

Updating wallets as they did it so many times in past. Always takes them days.
I'm not sure anyone knows for sure.
It is always same. So basically everyone knows.

To bad the devs don’t give any comment. I don’t now if I should be worried or not

As far as anyone can tell, it's BS. It's been asked in the #monero-dev channel and no one is aware of anything. If I had to make my own guess, someone sent a forged email to a bunch of exchanges... some of them took the bait.
Here's a transcript from IRC earlier today. Times in US-Eastern:
11:19 AM <@fluffypony> ghpg: there's no special email list, there's the announce list that you can join
11:20 AM <@fluffypony> I have no idea why a block explorer would be down
11:20 AM <@fluffypony> we're pretty close to tagging 0.13
11:20 AM <+moneromooo> gingeropolous said he tried to pop blocks on a running monerod, and the importer started a format conersion -> hosed.

11:21 AM <@fluffypony> lol
11:21 AM ⇐ xnbya quit • moneromooo → +hyperkitty
11:21 AM <@fluffypony> ghpg: occasionally if there's something super sensitive we might just directly email list subscribers
11:23 AM
