It would certainly be big news if the hash functions underlying various cryptocurrencies were broken. However, if someone does break a hash function, they'd seriously consider keeping the information to themselves and profit from it as inconspicuously as possible.Michael Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362529610470788243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-82793190562179158782018-06-12T10:29:59.427-04:002018-06-12T10:29:59.427-04:005. Cryptocurrencies are getting hacked.
Is this p...5. Cryptocurrencies are getting hacked.<br /><br />Is this possible? (The actual cryptocurrency, not the container holding them). I was under the impression, that the block chain would be able to prevent this. Losing control of the wallet or the exchange getting hacked, sure.<br /><br />I understand (or at least think I do) that forks (like BitCoinCash) were considered 'attacks' but not hacked per se.<br /><br />[I'm not doubting you, I just have not heard this.]aBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-57428994454336698332018-06-12T09:45:14.111-04:002018-06-12T09:45:14.111-04:00Hi I'm Troy McClure, you may remember me from ...Hi I'm Troy McClure, you may remember me from such Bitcoin commentaries as, "Holy Crap I am Rich Thanks to Bitcoin" and "Blockchain what's with that name?". <br /><br />That is about the ONLY email I have not received on this topic lately.Alan Whitton (Big Cajun Man)https://www.canajunfinances.com/noreply@blogger.com
