Can't be sure but 6200 looks like serious support. Bear in mind that it will only go down to the level of the early adopters and hodlers buy in. A lot of us are here for the tech.

That's a lot lower than $4,000 then.

You're ignoring the ability to "short" into this price.

No we didn't. We're adopting the technology.

You don't have to buy Bitcoin to have access to the tech.
In order for the BTC blockchain to work, somebody has to pay for the decentralised mining.

I presume you mean you don't have to use specifically Bitcoin Blockchain. No, you're not forced too. But you have to pay gas (ether) to run smart contracts on the Ethereum Blockchain which is awarded to the miner.

It's exasperating.
What's exasperating is your complete lack of technological understanding coupled recently with useless ad hominem attacks. Sounds like you're more of a talker than a doer.

Nano has no mining and no one is paid to confirm the transaction.

How much per contract do you think it will cost ?

Other chains can run smart contracts can't they (typing "smart" made me cringe) , it's just a bloody contract.

The other issue is we are back to circular dilemma ; if the contract is uber successful then a lower coin price has to be demanded for the success to continue or the stuff will be taken to a private chain.

No need for donations unless you consider someone running a node to be a donation. Most nodes would be expected to be run by businesses, although at the moment they are mostly run by Nano holders/enthusiasts.

It varies depending on processing power required. They're called smart contracts because they don't need human intervention once deployed. The contract itself can do things like get weather data or teh result of a horse race etc and action on this data.

My point is it cannot rest again in the market price of a coin. Do you sort of agree that the cost has to be commensurate to the benefit.

I understand it can take variables in an automated fashion. However it makes me cringe.

There are many failings in cryptocurrencies including ETH but the potential has been identified and further iterations should iron out problems.

Been really excellent. I bought 18000 at 0.73 and they just hung around for 2-3 days. Wake up this morning and they fire up to 1.22. I got out at 1.14 and now trading around the 1.10 mark :)

Important notice
Bitgrail S.r.l. Informs its users that internal checks revealed unauthorized transactions which led to a 17 million Nano shortfall, an amount forming part of the wallet managed by Bitgrail S.r.l.

Today a charge about those fraudulent activities has been submitted to the competent authorities and now is under police investigation.

We inform you that the other currencies have not been involved.

In order to conduct further verifications, all the activities will be temporarily suspended (including withdrawals and deposits). This procedure is indispensable for users security.

We do offer our full and sincerest apologies to our customers and to whom has been involved into the illegal transfers of Nano occurred on our platform.

Other announcements will be released shortly.

Thank you for your attention.
BitGrail was the fifth most popular exchange for XRB trading according to Coinmarketcap, however the volume has now been amended to zero. With a market valuation today of $10 per XRB, the to, al loss is estimated to be $170m.

The Nano Core team were informed by the owner of BitGrail, Francesco “The Bomber” Firano of the loss on Thursday. In a blog update they report that the fault appears to be related to BitGrail’s software. In private correspondence, Firano allegedly inquired as to the possibility of modifying the ledger in order to cover his losses, but the development team responded that this line of action:”s not possible, nor is it a direction we would ever pursue.”

The blog posts then makes subtle accusations regarding the legitimacy of the hack, stating that:

“We now have sufficient reason to believe that Firano has been misleading the Nano Core Team and the community regarding the solvency of the BitGrail exchange for a significant period of time.”

The team adds that criminal investigations are underway:

“Our team promptly contacted law enforcement and we are fully cooperating with law enforcement on this matter….We are preparing all information we have on the matter such as blockchain entries, screenshots, and chat logs”

Following the loss of XRB Bitgrail has claimed insolvency and is not in operation, whilst unofficial sources claim that the exchange had been insolvent months earlier. The source in question claims to have discovered that the account from which user funds had supposedly been lost funds, (BitGrail Representative 1), had multiple transactions of large even numbers, (e.g. 3000, 5000, 8000 XRB) to the Mercatox exchange. He/ she describes this behavior as suspicious, adding that:

“It certainly doesn’t look organic.”

You would want to do the laundering soon. The major economies will put pressure on the companies registered in their jurisdiction to apply serious KYC legislation. This will push the companies to those ultra secure countries like Russia, Ukraine, and China.
