This is why cryptocurrency won't be globally adopted.

 

Exactly and has anyone else come across this Heartbleed bug yet?

I hope you haven't invested real money into coin mining.

Can you store them offline? Probably be the best option IMO if you could.  Guess it shows that it's not safe at all, which we already sorta knew

Cryptocurrency is a conspiracive hype :-(

OP, once again, do you have any information for us at all?

Like where your wallet was stored.

Like I stated previously in the thread, the wallets were on my computer, which happened to be connected to the internet.

I am starting to agree that it won't be globally accepted because of all the hacks involved. 

 

You get % interest for leaving your wallet online .. yet their networks get hacked and you lose your coins? doesn't seem correct too me. 

 

If its something that you have to take off line and store in a physical USB form then really whats so great about it? i mean the whole point of the currency is so you can use it any time anywhere either by remoting into your wallet or other methods such as having a phone wallet. 

 

If you cant use crypto currency in all the ways that it has gained market share from then what makes it any better then a visa ? 

 

and don't get me started on the decreasing market value over the last 6-7 months steadily falling month by month i think even all the too the moon people right now are rethinking or have already dumped their investments. 

 

Add onto all that the exchanges that have been hacked and or scammed people into the ground well you can see right now crypto is imho just a failing idea. 

 

Until something comes out that backs your wallet and transactions with a visa like guarantee where you can claim on hacks and they can reverse and track charges in certain circumstances then you will never see true acceptance because people don't like putting thousands of their hard earned dollars into something only to be scammed by someone plugging keys behind a desk. 

 

And its happened to far to many people now to ignore the issue. 

 

The only people i can see still backing the coins are the people who got rich quick and are now whales with alot to loose if it flounders even further. 

 

edit* i should add . i didn't even get into market manipulations .. yea its real nice having 3000+ coins of something @ say 0.0008 btc value only to see the same whales trade back and forth 100000000 x and drain the market down to 0.00008 over the course of a few months.  and don't try to tell me its not manipulation when you see every single coin on the exchanges follow the same trend into the abyss. after a investment loss like that those people are likely to never touch cryptos again and lets face it pretty much everyone who gets into cryptos atm is seeing those kinds of investment losses so your basically loosing 80% of the players involved in game of cryptos.
