How Safe Are Today’s Wrapped BTC Bridges?ni liFollowAug 26 · 13 min readThe question of the security of wrapped BTC bridges has been a simmering concern throughout the DeFi community for a long time. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin himself highlighted the issue in a recent tweet:The comments under his post were filled with heated debate from members representing all different corners of Crypto Twitter. Various existing mainstream bridge solutions such as those from Republic Protocol (REN) and Wanchain (WAN) were brought up.From my research into secure cross-chain technology as part of my work at Wanchain, I have a good general understanding of various cross-chain BTC mechanisms. Lets take a look at just exactly how they work and why people use them:The How…The simplest and most straightforward understanding of BTC cross-chain bridges is that a user transfers “real” BTC to an address on the Bitcoin blockchain where it is locked. After this address receives the “real” BTC, it will mint a “fake” ERC20 BTC on Ethereum. This type of token is known as a mapping token or a “wrapped” token, and is freely usable as a representation of BTC on Ethereum. When going the other direction, the ERC20 BTC is burned (destroyed), and the locked BTC on Bitcoin is released. ERC20-based BTC tokens minted on Ethereum are prefixed with a symbol to indicate the protocol or organization behind the cross-chain bridge. For example, wanBTC, renBTC, sBTC, WBTC, tBTC, etc.The general process for moving BTC from its own native Bitcoin blockchain and back again is described by this simple 2-step process.The Why…In essence, when minting wrapped BTC, “real” BTC is exchanged for “fake” BTC. Some might ask, why would I want to use “fake” BTC?It comes down to technical requirements. The DeFi industry is now booming with billions of dollars flowing into lending, options, and other types of DeFi applications. The rate of its exponential increase is going faster and faster every day. However, this growth is primarily on the Ethereum blockchain. DeFi applications on Ethereum can only support ERC20 tokens, so BTC must be converted to the “fake” ERC20 version in order to be used for lending, borrowing, trading, etc. on all the latest and greatest hyped DeFi platforms out there. It is a legitimate use case. However, when wrapping BTC or other non-Ethereum assets to exist on the Ethereum blockchain, one must be especially careful about the mechanism used to wrap those assets.What Could Go Wrong?Now that we understand how wrapped BTC works and why people use it, let’s take a look at the potential dangers associated with this process. The fundamental danger with all wrapped BTC is the possibility that the “real” BTC on the Bitcoin blockchain could be unlocked and released to someone else, and leave token holders of the “fake” ERC20 BTC holding the bag. With the “real” BTC that that token was supposed to be used to redeem for now gone, the “fake” ERC20 BTC is now rendered worthless. The way in which this theft might happen wholly depends on the specific mechanism used for the cross-chain bridge that is used to bring BTC over to Ethereum or any other blockchain that has DeFi applications on it like Cosmos or Polkadot.Cross-chain Bridge TypesCentralized Custodial BridgeWith a custodial bridge, the address which BTC is sent to on Bitcoin is simply the address of an organization that promises that they will mint ERC20 BTC for you on Ethereum. In this solution, the person or organization managing the bridge must be trusted to hold the real BTC and not run away with it. The most prominent example of this model is the widely used ERC20 WBTC, which is solely and entirely backed by BitGo’s guarantee.Decentralized Smart Contract Managed BridgeOf course, in the world of blockchain and DeFi, many prefer decentralized, non-custodial solutions. Decentralized solutions are preferred and considered “safer” as they negate the need of a trusted third party (as is the case with BitGo in the WBTC model), and rather are directly managed by immutable smart contract logic.A few of the key technologies powering such solutions are secure multi-party computation (MPC) and the related technology of Threshold Signature Schemes (TSS).MPC is a cryptographic technique which allows for multiple participants to perform operations on a number of inputs without any participant revealing their own input to the group.TSS is a related cryptographic technique which allows for the MPC process to be completed as long as a certain threshold of participants join the process. For example, with 21 MPC participants and a TSS threshold of 15, as long as 15 or more of the participants join the process, the calculations will be performed successfully.Refer to this article from Wanchain’s Noah Maizels for a deeper dive into MPC and TSS with illustrative examples (specifically the varient of TSS known as Shamir’s Secret Sharing).MPC and TSS Applied to Cross-chain BridgesMany of the MPC / TSS implementations used by cross-chain projects / protocols are derived from the classic paper Robust Threshold DSS Signatures by Rosario Gennaro, Stanisław Jarecki, Hugo Krawczyk and Tal Rabin published in 1996.Unfortunately the principles described in this paper are often used directly by cross-chain projects without modification or innovation in their implementations of MPC / TSS.Wanchain introduced its implementation of MPC / TSS in its first cross-chain bridge between BTC and Wanchain all the way back in 2017. Our implementation of it drew heavily from the 1996 Gennaro paper, while also introducing an innovative algorithm which reduces the number of interactions in the MPC calculation process.An important concept in the application of MPC technology to cross-chain bridges is the relationship between the individual private key of each participating MPC node and the group private key of the whole node set.The group private key is the key which is used to control the MPC-managed locked account where the BTC is held on the native Bitcoin blockchain. Any holder of this key has full control over all assets in that account.However, no individual is ever meant to hold this key. Rather, a group of nodes work together to generate the group private key through the MPC mechanism described by Gennaro in 1996. This group private key is generated when each participating MPC node contributes their own individual private key. TSS is applied through this process to ensure that even if a few nodes are offline or deliberately choose not to participate, the process will complete as long as more than some threshold number of nodes participate. Therefore, the entire mechanism is highly fault-tolerant, and even if individual MPC nodes are malicious, it will not affect the protocol operation.Re-groupingWhile MPC allows for a group of nodes to operate a locked BTC account without any individual node holding the private key themselves, there still exists the possibility that the threshold number of MPC participants may collude to work together in order to steal the locked BTC. Node regrouping, or “churning,” is a common tactic used to reduce the possibility of node collusion. Regrouping is a technique where the nodes that comprise the MPC group that manages the locked account are periodically shuffled, so that no one same group of nodes manages the locked account for a long period of time. This shuffling makes it much more difficult for participants to identify and collude with each other.Of course, since the group private key is derived from a combination of all participating node’s individual private keys, every time a new group is formed, a new group private key and associated locked account are necessarily generated by protocol design.MPC & TSS in renBTC’s Cross-chain BridgeLet’s take a look at how the increasingly popular renBTC uses MPC and TSS in their cross-chain bridge. According to their technical white paper, their approach is also based on the aforementioned Robust Threshold DSS Signatures paper.On their website and official documentation, they emphasize that the management of cross-chain BTC accounts is done by a group of “dark nodes” using MPC and TSS (specifically, Shamir’s Secret Sharing), and the members of this group of “dark nodes” are periodically regrouped.Paradoxically, we found that the Bitcoin address provided by renBTC that users transfer their real BTC to for locking has not changed since the first day it went online.The process to generate renBTC is as follows. First, the user transfers BTC to a one-time address. See Figure 1 below.Figure 1Then, from that one-time address, the user sends their BTC to the locked account. See Figure 2 below.However, that locked account has never changed. As you can see in the figure below, it is a honey pot of nearly 9,000 BTC.Figure 2According to Gennaro logic, if the account address is really generated by MPC, and the dark nodes involved in account management really churn, then the account address must also be updated periodically. That’s how MPC works.Thus, there is a contradiction between the observed facts of the renBTC bridge implementation and the described technology in the documentation. This difference seems to indicate that the renBTC bridge does not in fact use the model as described in the technical white paper.We thereby doubt whether the locked BTC address was in fact generated using MPC. After a review of the code on GitHub and various technical documents, we were unable to find an explanation for this apparent contradiction.More Questions About the Cross-Chain ImplementationWe present these concerns about the implementation of renBTC because there are now nearly $100 million of BTC in what could potentially be a centralized storage locker. However, the problems with REN do not end there. The ECDSA threshold signature scheme adopted by renBTC does not set a secure enough threshold for their TSS scheme.Their TSS scheme is defined as so:n is the total number of participantst is the threshold number of nodes which may be malicious before compromising the security of the schemeFor example, if the t threshold is set at 15:In other words, under this scheme, only about a third of participants (15 out of 46) are needed to conspire in order to behave maliciously and steal the locked BTC under managment of the group.Such a low threshold is dangerous. The Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus mechanism has been similarly criticized within the industry as its security also fails with a third or more malicious participants.The TSS scheme of renBTC therefore poses some concerning security risks.Finally, we have one more concern to raise about the cross-chain process used to generate renBTC. According to the introduction of the REN technical white paper, during the establishment of its BTC account, “dark nodes” complete data interaction through a private chain, and the interaction data is encrypted, and its validity is determined by a zero knowledge proof guarantee. Therefore, whether the final individual private key is correct depends entirely on this zero-knowledge proof.So how to construct this zero-knowledge proof?The REN technical white paper does not give a specific implementation method, nor does it give relevant references, and there is no relevant code implementation on their GitHub. While their description is chock full of cryptographic terms, it is in fact lacking in the specific details which would allow one to judge the security of the mentioned zero knowledge proof:As I have stated above, our research team has cause for concern in regards to the execution of nearly all that is described above.A Few Final Thoughts…This year, especially in the last couple of months, the DeFi phenomena has grown into a massive movement. The types of applications and the total value locked in DeFi protocols has grown exponentially.Although some may cry “bubble”, the eye watering valuations are actually being driven by truly innovative products, and not just empty promises. However, as DeFi business applications flourish, core blockchain technologies, such as secure and decentralized cross-chain technology, have kept pace. The purpose of this article is not to single out REN in particular, but rather to ignite rational discussion about issues of security within the world of cross-chain DeFi.First, what level of compromise between the products described in a white paper and the actual implementation are acceptable?Second, for projects such as Ren that have not yet revealed their source code, what level of detail should we demand in their documentation? Are general references to engineering approaches acceptable, or should we demand specific implementation details?In the first ICO boom, we saw far too many projects which rose to incredibly high valuations based on a white paper and a slick story alone. The entire industry, including each of us individually, was more or less a victim.With that collective experience in hindsight, let’s make sure not to make the same mistakes twice. Let’s cut down on the technical mumbo jumbo, exaggeration, and hand waving, and focus on building practical solutions grounded in strong theoretical principles.Wanchain’s decentralized and trustless wanBTC is scheduled to launch on Ethereum in Q3 / Q4 of this year, and we welcome the community’s evaluation of it. We look forward to presenting more details about its implementation soon.Authors:Li Ni, Dr. Guo ZhongzhongWith contributions from:Guo Wu, Noah Maizels, Nicholas KrapelsCited Works:[1] Rosario Gennaro and Steven Goldfeder. “Fast Multiparty Threshold ECDSA with Fast Trustless Setup”.

Filed under: Hype man of the century When Chinese millionaire Justin Sun acquired BitTorrent, was he trying to skirt the trade war? Or fly right in the face of it, no matter the cost? By Sep 29, 2020, 10:00am EDT Illustrations by Alex Castro If Silicon Valley operated under the idea that companies should move fast and break things, then BitTorrent had become an exception. Employees enjoyed patiently tinkering with creative projects and going home at a reasonable time, free from the tyranny of startup culture. The company was founded in 2004, and though its namesake protocol helped shape the modern internet, by 2018, the company was languishing. After all, not all influential things make money. One BitTorrent employee told me they enjoyed the slower pace of work: “It wasn’t growing like crazy or anything.” Establishing new revenue streams was difficult, and the company was starting to look like a distressed asset. And there were rumors someone was actively trying to acquire it, a sign that management’s only means of escaping stagnation was to court a wealthy buyer. BitTorrent had a challenging reputation. Its technology, a peer-to-peer protocol that allows large files to download quickly, was notorious because those large files tended to be pirated movies and music. Its genius came from being decentralized — spreading the burden of bandwidth, and liability, across a number of users instead of one company. The philosophy of decentralization shaped BitTorrent’s laissez-faire view of itself. It supplied a technology and had no responsibility for the pirated content illegally distributed by it. Soon it emerged the BitTorrent acquisition rumors were true. The man buying the company was a young Chinese uber-millionaire named Justin Sun. It seemed like a fit. Sun ran a cryptocurrency company in Beijing called Tron, and like BitTorrent, crypto’s whole philosophy was built on decentralization. Some employees were excited. One told me their initial reaction was, “Oh, cool, crypto, that’s a neat space that I’ve wanted to get into.” Sun was undeterred by BitTorrent’s associations with piracy. Later, employees would discover he was more than willing to embrace it. But right away, Sun struck some BitTorrent employees as a controversial character. For one, crypto enthusiasts noticed striking similarities between a cryptocurrency white paper Sun released and other cryptocurrency projects, including Ethereum, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency. Twitter was abuzz with allegations that the document was plagiarized, borrowing heavily from two other papers. Juan Benet, the crypto developer behind those papers, claims that, of the 44 pages, three also contained a “basic Ethereum contract,” while nine copied exact language from Benet’s decentralized crypto projects. One former Tron employee agreed the white paper was conceptually indistinguishable: “It was cribbed off of for sure.” Publicly, Sun defended himself, claiming the similarities came from problems with on-the-fly translation from Chinese to English. BitTorrent employees watched the controversy quietly and didn’t get any internal explanation from their new boss. New Tron hires would be initiated into Sun’s worldview, and within a matter of months, the company’s internal business strategy was apparently “copy Ethereum,” a former employee told me. The other was “get the pump on the coin.” The oft-repeated phrase meant doing anything to make Tron look flashy and lobby people across the world to convert their national currencies, whether they be renminbi, rupees, or dollars, into Tron’s digital cryptocurrency — thus, pumping up the value of Tron and Justin Sun himself. If cryptocurrency and the BitTorrent protocol were technologies built on the idea of decentralization, Tron’s acquisition of BitTorrent seemed designed to centralize power on Sun. Cribbing Ethereum’s white paper would be just the beginning in a series of ethically dubious moves by Sun: giving away Tesla cars and bidding millions on a showy power lunch; launching products that effectively rewarded piracy and products that exploited pornography. Then there was his alleged abusive conduct, which ranged from threats of violence to actual physical violence in the office. Employees had mixed opinions when BitTorrent was acquired. None of them realized how much their steady, quiet work environment would be upended as Sun’s bravado and self-promotion steered the company into the center of the US and China’s dangerous geopolitical conflict — the trade war — all in an effort to, as Sun might say, get the pump on the coin. Anyone following Justin Sun on social media couldn’t be faulted for thinking his reign over Tron consisted solely of insufferable, nonstop winning. In trying to separate facts from fiction in Sun’s story, and Tron’s, I spoke to former and current employees, both in China and the US, both rank-and-file and senior level, across multiple departments. In all, 18 insiders, current and former, spoke to me on the condition their names not be used out of fear of retaliation, with one exception who is on the record. Sun and Tron did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Sun isn’t outwardly intimidating. He’s been described as a self-styled “whiz kid.” He’s 30 years old and makes sure it’s widely known that he graduated from a special business seminar run by Jack Ma, a co-founder of Alibaba and one of Asia’s top multibillionaires. According to Sun’s autobiography, Brave New World, his meeting with Ma inspired him to become wealthy and successful. In Sun’s first Instagram post, he stands side by side with Ma, holding a graduation certificate. It makes him look like a protégé. Sun’s first major success was an app called Peiwo, which translates to “accompany me,” an audio-based mashup of Tinder and a live-stream chat room with 10 million users. The app matched people using voice clips, but the app also had audio chat rooms where hosts flirted with soundbites that generally contained content that exceeded pillow talk. In fact, a user might drop into a chat room only to discover their host was already in the throes of orgasm. It was easy to understand why the app was successful when its content so often bordered on some kind of aural pornography. Eventually, Peiwo was booted from the Apple and Android app stores, and the Chinese authorities shut it down, along with other content that “disrupts socialist values.” Somewhere between Sun’s constant travel back and forth from Beijing to San Francisco, he bought BitTorrent for $140 million. Part of what made the deal unique was the clash-of-superpowers atmosphere that surrounded it. According to the Pentagon, Chinese businesses have tapped into a roaring pipeline of intellectual property and funneled it back to mainland China. In the summer of 2018, some American experts were saying the US-China trade policy damaged the US economy with little benefit and evoked Cold War paranoia. After the purchase of BitTorrent, Sun suddenly straddled the conflict, with one foot in Beijing and the other in San Francisco. Senior employees at BitTorrent were concerned the US government might scrutinize the merger. Sun was unfazed by the risks of the US-China trade war looming above. “Justin looks at barriers and thinks, ‘I can get around these barriers,’” a former senior employee told me. “In some ways that’s great. It’s kind of the entrepreneur’s mindset,” they said. But “that would include rule-breaking on the less scrupulous side of things.” Sun seemed to push those concerns aside with what became a famous phrase inside the company: “I think it’s okay.” After all, even Jack Ma’s Alibaba is blacklisted by the US Trade Representative for IP infringement. But BitTorrent had survived for so long precisely because the company’s senior employees and lawyers avoided gray areas. They provided a technology. They didn’t distribute pirated content. “We want to make damn sure we’re doing things legally.” Sun’s imagination lay in the globe-spanning Wild West of cryptocurrency. This was a place where the rules were unclear and regulations hadn’t been widely enforced. Since the rise of bitcoin, a bevy of cryptocoins have emerged, jockeying for dominance, their value often entirely speculative. Their sales pitches focus on currency that can’t be manipulated or controlled. “Decentralize the web” is an official marketing slogan Tron uses. Sun’s acquisition came with perks. BitTorrent moved out of its old building encircled by a freeway ramp and into a skyscraper downtown at 301 Howard St. “The new office is fucking beautiful, oh my god,” a former employee said. They marveled at the panoramic of San Francisco Bay. Catered lunches became the norm. By this point, employees knew Sun only through video chat. As one former employee described, “He came off as very casual, just like young-casual. I would say no nonsense, but at this time, it was kind of in a playful way. Not in a threatening way.” Sun finally flew to San Francisco to build his cryptocurrency empire, wearing his signature Gucci sneakers bedazzled with large pineapples over the laces every day. Tron’s “initial coin offering” of its own cryptocurrency, TRX, had gone extremely well. Sun told employees that, for one day, he was richer than Bill Gates. “When you see him in real life, he thinks he’s a celebrity. He doesn’t smile.” He had an assistant bring meals on a platter to his office. Multiple employees claimed that Sun’s ego was easy for sycophants to subtly exploit. One of Sun’s lieutenants at Tron would carry Sun’s bag across the office for him, deferentially walking a half step behind him. It indulged Sun’s own image of himself as famous and powerful. Among English-speaking rank-and-file, he was greeted casually, “Hi, Justin.” But a former employee who grew up in China says Chinese rank-and-file were expected to call him, “Sun Zong,” which is far more formal. “It’s like, I’m terrified of you.” As another Chinese employee put it, “When you talk to your own people, you tend to be worse,” they said. “We are more tolerant of higher pressure and expectations.” Sun fancied one of the conference rooms, so he seized it as his office. It was impossible to see through its frosted glass walls, but employees occasionally entered to fulfill random tasks for Sun and emerged with concerns about what they saw. They were baffled by occasional piles of cash (“stacks of hundred dollar bills!”) that sprouted on his desk, or one time, an envelope of ones (“mad stripper money!”). It was noteworthy because Sun apparently had no lock on the door. He juggled more than five phones and sometimes disappeared to China for weeks, leaving his phones, and potentially proprietary information inside them, laying on his desk. Some employees feared a shakedown if one went missing. While Sun may have played fast and loose with his stacks of cash and phones, his expectations for employees were very different. A former employee says that Sun once began a meeting with a five- or 10-minute diatribe about how his driver accidentally locked him in his car in Beijing. Something about a child safety lock. “Who hired this person?” Sun demanded. The peak of his entitled behavior, according to a former employee, was when he fired his personal assistant because she booked a doctor’s appointment and sent him along in an Uber. Sun was furious. Sun expected the doctor to come see him. HR explained to the assistant that she didn’t know how to serve rich people. “Why did he behave like a spoiled brat?” a former employee wondered, “He reads as someone who ended up with a lot of money and had no idea how to use it.” A former senior employee thought that Sun imagined himself as coming from “the kind of elite in China, where there’s these men who think like, ‘I’m destined for greatness.’” Employees had questions about where Tron was headed and submitted anonymous questions for BitTorrent’s traditional Q&A with the company’s senior leadership. Hours before the Q&A, Sun called together his marketing team “to send him the list of questions,” so he could censor questions he didn’t like, says a former employee officially briefed on the meeting. Sun started reading existential questions about Tron’s future, such as, “What if TRX [Tron’s crypto] drops to zero?” Sun’s mood soured instantly. “He took it extremely personally.” According to the employee, he began yelling and threw a tantrum. “Whoever asked this question, we’re going to track them down,” Sun seethed, before threatening “to kill their entire family.” The Q&A took place well after work via Zoom. The office’s central conference room filled with about 10 employees at a long table flanked by frosted glass walls. Sun and Tron leadership in Beijing joined remotely. A senior Beijing employee answered questions, and employees’ concern over the survival of the company bubbled up again. The Beijing employee dished out a tongue-lashing, “essentially saying none of you should question Justin. He knows what he’s doing, he’s gotten this far, how dare you question the ability of Justin? It’s disrespectful, it’s spoiled to ask this.” Employees exchanged looks with each other and dug in, defensive about their unlimited vacation policy. The reply: “Nobody can tell you when you can take vacation. Only the Chinese government can tell you when you can take vacation,” a former employee recalled. “That’s when the culture shift started coming in.” “What if TRX drops to zero?” stabbed at the heart of every cryptocurrency’s dilemma. It derives its value from people actually using it, which is why Sun evangelizes Tron. As one former employee told me, “I would say he’s the hype man of the century.” It’s an odd accolade. On one hand, it’s a compliment. On the other, it’s a warning. Because he was born in a poor, rural province of China, Qinghai, Justin Sun always felt he needed to prove himself. “From the very beginning he had this dream to do something that was apparently impossible,” a former employee told me. Sun’s autobiography says his mother was an unrelenting “tiger mom,” and his dad was a penny-pincher who hated throwing away old belongings. As a child, Sun left home to study the ancient game Go in Wuhan. Other articles say that while he was away at Go school, his parents divorced, but he didn’t know until he arrived home. He overcame his disadvantages with cleverness and focus. “He’s a machine. He can work 20 hours a day.” Sun started to believe he should impose his work ethic across his company. Sun flooded the San Francisco office with articles from the Beijing PR shop. “A lot of them were about Justin Sun and how he is a genius and how talented he is and his leadership. Really just singing the praises of Justin Sun,” a former employee said. “It was really disgusting.” Other articles came through the transom, all about a new company work culture: “9-9-6.” As one former employee who grew up in China explained, “Basically, a lot of internet companies in China work this 9-9-6 schedule from 9 AM to 9 PM, six days a week.” The first article that caught everyone’s attention featured Sun’s hero, Jack Ma. In the article, Ma demanded employees be grateful they have a 9-9-6 job, that people envied them. “I shared the article and people were really confused in the US office,” a former employee told me. “Like, what is he implying? Is he trying to say that we should start this 9-9-6 bullshit?” Some of the Tron employees in San Francisco witnessed 9-9-6 culture in the Beijing office. During one 5AM call, Beijing time, SF employees were surprised by the appearance of the lead engineer on the call. “He turned on the video and he looked like he just rolled out of bed or something. He said, ‘I slept in the office tonight,’” a former employee recalled. “I really feel for them.” “Americans by contrast, they’re lazier, but they’re more creative,” a former senior employee recalled Sun explaining. “So he’d kind of give the grunt work to the Chinese team,” they said, “the engineers, the developers, no question, they’re working 9-9-6.” There was an irony in Beijing, though. While the engineers were indentured to the 9-9-6 credo, coding at all hours, everyone else at the Beijing office ignored it. So long as they maintained “the illusion.” Sun, after all, was in San Francisco. HR mandated that employees replace Slack with a Chinese equivalent called DingTalk. It came with added surveillance features that went as far as using Apple Health to count people’s steps and pinged users at all hours. “DingTalk is spyware,” said one former employee. Another employee asked HR what might happen if they refused to install it. HR replied that a list of noncompliant employees was being compiled and sent directly to Sun. The former employee harkened back to the moment. “Okay so we’re doing threats now?” Employees had difficulty gauging what changes in Tron’s work environment were attributable to Chinese tech work culture, where management generally exercises far more control, or whether these changes were specific to Sun’s leadership. A couple of former employees told me about their past experiences working in Beijing. They saw aspects of China’s corporate culture in Sun, but thought he was actually an outlier, “one of a kind.” Sun had more in common with another powerful American, which earned him the moniker “The Chinese Trump.” On at least one occasion, Sun fawned over Donald Trump’s marketing at a meeting. A former employee also believed both had an affinity for dictatorial power. Sun only selects “yes men” for his inner circle, former employees explained, so they stake their future on him. One compared Sun’s apparent insistence on loyalty to Trump’s control over the Republican Party, except Sun is “many levels better than that.” Despite Sun’s evangelism for a “decentralized” internet where ideas compete and the best one wins, he and his tight clique of lieutenants dictated terms to his workforce. His penchant for control also bled into Tron’s business dealings. A former employee says when Tron was pilloried on a popular Reddit thread, Tron paid the moderator, “perogies,” to allow the company to erase negative posts. A former employee said perogies was actually “a hardcore-fucking-Redditor to the bone, all about free speech.” Free speech is part of the ideology of decentralization, where ideas flow without gatekeepers. Tron started deleting any post it wanted. Bristling, perogies threatened to reveal his payments publicly. The Beijing office took over, the former employee said, “and he disappeared into the fucking night, never heard from him again.” Even though Sun went to extremes to control Tron’s public image, his own app store, called the Tron Network, was a free-for-all. Users purchased some apps with Tron’s cryptocurrency, and the company sometimes took a sliver of the app’s revenue. The most successful were gambling apps, employees told me, and Tron preferred to “squash” any app by imitating it. Sun eventually built an office in Shenzhen, China, where programmers worked on copycats. Meanwhile, questionable developers gathered on the Tron Network like ants to sugar. “We didn’t know who they were. We had zero way of contacting them. So these people would get on our blockchain and scam. Scam all day, 24/7. It never ended,” a former employee said. Complaints streamed in, like, “Hey, I just lost my life savings!” A former employee recalled Sun and the senior Beijing employees ignoring the scam warnings during weekly meetings and sometimes mocking English-only employees’ ideas in Mandarin, before telling the interpreter, “Don’t translate that.” Scammed users tried to fight back. Letters from the Better Business Bureau arrived in Tron’s San Francisco office one month. “They were coming in quite frequently,” said a former employee, “like, piles building up.” Even though Tron succeeded in deflecting scam victims and criticism on Reddit, the company was about to suffer a very public self-inflicted wound. As a promotional stunt, Sun raffled off a Tesla. Sun tweeted a pre-recorded video of the drawing, but people noticed a flash on the screen, which, slowed down, showed an image of the winner’s Twitter profile before the announcement. Crypto watchers thought it was a sham. Sun blamed Twitter’s video compression, calling it a “glitch.” “Somebody fucked up and the graphic came on the screen before [Sun] read the winner,” a former employee says, “which to any Internet conspiracy theorist is like, ‘This is bullshit, they literally came on the screen before he picked it!’” It was a real contest, employees insisted. But the online furor was too much, and Sun retracted the Tesla. Sun did a new drawing, with a new winner, but the controversy continued. So he gave away two Teslas, one for each winner. Sun’s leadership style caused the “fuck-up,” a former employee believed. “Justin doesn’t care about how to actually run a business,” they said. “He just cares about making loud noises and getting results.” When employees reviewed the Tesla sweepstakes in a meeting later, they realized, “Wow, this is actually illegal.” The Tesla debacle was important, internally, for another reason. “That’s probably his biggest meltdown,” a former employee said. Multiple former employees could hear Sun screaming at people in his office, his shouts echoing down the hall. Sometimes he leapt out of his office, slammed the door, and unleashed a rageful howl at no one in particular. His assistant sitting outside his office didn’t budge. Employees talked about times when they could hear him kick his door while eviscerating workers in his office or over the phone. Everyone dreaded meetings. From then on, “there were always rumors that he wanted to fire a bunch of people.” After the disaster, a Tron employee ran into a top communication manager for Justin Sun’s hero, Jack Ma, at a function in the Bay Area. “As soon as I mentioned Tron and Justin Sun, she said, ‘Please tell him that we don’t want to have anything to do with him.’” Nearly everyone I talked to said the cornerstone of Sun’s business wasn’t necessarily technology, but using marketing to extract money from users. In a meeting, Sun once compared the marketing team’s objectives to the business of a “whorehouse.” With the failure of the Tesla stunt, the answer, to Sun, was to pursue a bigger, even flashier stunt: be the highest bidders at a charity auction for lunch with Warren Buffett. “He thrived on just doing anything for attention and clout,” a former employee says. “Clout-chasing, as the kids call it.” Sun won the auction, costing him $4.57 million — roughly the value of 130 Teslas. When the marketing department asked Sun how high he was willing to bid, Sun replied, “I don’t care, I want to win it regardless.” There was no cap. “It’s hard to get him to pay a bill but it’s easy to get him to spend money.” The media hype was considerable. But as a CNBC interviewer pointed out to Sun, Buffett had “compared Bitcoin to gambling in Las Vegas” and said cryptocurrency was “rat poison squared.” Sun gamely laughed and insisted that one of the world’s most successful investors didn’t have the right sources of information. Not long after, President Trump tweeted that he’s “not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies,” whose value is based “on thin air.” “Mr. President, you are misled by fake news,” began Sun’s reply, “Bitcoin & Blockchain happens to be best chance for the US! I’d love to invite you to have lunch with crypto leaders along with @WarrenBuffett on July 25.” Sun invited Trump to lunch. A week later, Tron’s Twitter account announced the lunch was postponed because Sun had kidney stones. The next day, Chinese newspapers published stories that Sun was not only suspected of illegal fundraising, gambling, and money laundering, but supposedly detained by Chinese authorities in Beijing. That afternoon, Sun’s Periscope account went live. He appeared in his white-walled San Francisco apartment, the Bay Bridge over his shoulder. He riffed

Through funds raised from the ICO, the existing Globitex institutional grade Bitcoin exchange, will scale into a global spot and derivatives trading venue. It will allow producers to purchase exchange listed products for Bitcoin, and trading firms and speculators to hedge their risks in Bitcoin with derivatives trading. This will therefore increase the use cases for Bitcoin as a medium of exchange and ultimately establish Bitcoin as a unit of account suitable for global trade, with no geographic, political or monetary restrictions. Globitex will launch various major fiat and cryptocurrency pairs other than Bitcoin-Euro; thereby expanding the Bitcoin-FX order books. This will allow for instant trading, deposits, and withdrawals in major currencies around the globe. Globitex will create cryptocurrency-to-fiat and cryptocurrency-to-cryptocurrency based futures, swaps and options to be used as financial instruments for hedging, investing and speculating purposes. Globitex will develop cryptocurrency money markets, where eligible market participants are able to lend out their cryptocurrencies at specific maturities by setting market-based interest rates. The borrowed p2p loans will be made available as collateralized debt instruments, which can be used by Globitex clients for leveraging their trading or for other purposes outside of the exchange. Globitex will enable standardized listing of various commodities futures and options on an open order book basis. The derivative contracts will be physically deliverable and exchanged in Bitcoin as the underlying currency. For example, the counterparties in a derivatives contract could exchange physical commodities (crude oil, jet fuel, gold, silver, copper, corn, etc.) for a fixed amount of bitcoins at the maturity of the contract, or opt out of the physical delivery and settle in bitcoin instead. Presale Date: 10th November 2017 to date. Sales start date: before February 2018. To be announced on www.globitexico.com Sales end date: To be announced on www.globitexico.com Scale spot FX, where Bitcoin can be traded vs. major fiat and other cryptocurrencies This will involve business development efforts for establishing additional banking relationships with bank partners around the globe and across the currency spectrum. Implement FX margin trading ability – REPO By allowing Globitex clients to lend to each other with REPO, or standardised maturities repurchase agreement based instruments, Globitex clients will be able to use the borrowed funds for leveraging their trading; the loans will be made available as collateralized debt instruments, which can also be used for purposes outside of the exchange. List precious metals spot contracts Globitex will introduce commodities trading in bitcoin, starting with deliverable spot gold. Gold is an obvious choice to begin with, as Bitcoin itself is dubbed “digital gold”. Globitex will develop order book and distribution channels for gold bought on Globitex against bitcoin. Stage II: BIBOR, Money Markets and Commodity Derivatives Develop Bitcoin money markets – BIBOR Aggregate the leading interest rate markets for Bitcoin margin lending, including the one developed by Globitex at stage I, in order to form a tradable interest rate product. Named it “BIBOR” (Bitcoin Inter-Broker Offered Rate) and offer BIBOR futures trading, thereby setting the standard reference rate for the Bitcoin economy capital markets. List cash settled commodity futures and options At this stage, business development and various partnerships will have positioned Globitex to reference the existing USD based markets. By using traditional futures markets pricing in commodities, we shall begin using Bitcoin at the scale needed for global trade by synthetically forming derivative instruments in commodities, paired with FX market developed in Stage I. These instruments will be listed in standardised maturities and settled in Bitcoin. We will begin by implementing precious metals cash settled futures trading and follow up with other commodities.

The financial sector has taken several beatings over the past few decades. As a result of this economic instability, a lot of consumers and investors have put some money into hedge fund offerings. Unfortunately, not all of these schemes end on a positive note, and quite a few of them have come to an end prematurely. Any investment is risky, and hedge funds are no different in that regard. One of the main concerns regarding hedge fund operations is whether or not they are legitimate. Israel’s Bayou Group has gotten a lot of attention in 2003, which attracted an influx of fresh capital. However, the company turned out to be a Ponzi Scheme due to a 2005 SEC investigation. As one would expect, a lot of people lost hard-earned money in the collapse, and it is estimated the losses added up to US$500m. The Peloton Capital is quite an intriguing hedge fund, all things considered. It was founded in 2005, yet managed US$3bn in assets the next year. Interestingly enough, the company provided an 87% return to its investors during 2006. That is rather unheard of in the hedge fund sector, and this feat has not been repeated ever since. Sadly, this also spelled the beginning of the end for Peloton Capital as the hedge fund was liquidated in 2008. At that time, a total of the US$2bn worth of Peloton’s AUM was returned to clients. Things came to an abrupt halt when the subprime mortgage crisis sent shockwaves throughout the US economy in 2008. This particular hedge fund has seen a few highs and lows throughout its nine-year history. Satellite Capital, founded in 1999, started gaining traction quickly. The year 2004 was particularly good, as the company returned 25% of investments back to its clients. Things only improved from there on out, resulting in the hedge fund managing US$7bn by 2007. Unfortunately, things took a nose dive in 2008, as the hedge fund lost 35% of its assets. When the hedge fund finally shut down at the end of 2008, less than US$3bn in assets remained. The year 2008 will always be remembered as the period of the most recent financial crisis, affecting a lot of financial players in quick succession. The name Long-term Capital Management will be in the history books forever, as it is one of the few hedge fund operations to post annualized returns of over 40% for several years straight.  At its peak, the group held US$120bn in trading liabilities. After this explosive growth between 1994 and 1999, the company was forced to close down in 2000. The hedge fund also took a government bailout payment in 1996 after losing US$4.6bn in AUM.

The Economist: "Get Ready For A World Currency By 2018"Get Ready for the Phoenix - January 9, 1988, Vol. 306, pp 9-10THIRTY years from now, Americans, Japanese, Europeans, and people in many other rich countries, and some relatively poor ones will probably be paying for their shopping with the same currency. Prices will be quoted not in dollars, yen or D-marks but in, let’s say, the phoenix. The phoenix will be favored by companies and shoppers because it will be more convenient than today’s national currencies, which by then will seem a quaint cause of much disruption to economic life in the last twentieth century. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-07...India’s RBI Moves Towards Providing Digital Currencies Legal Tender Status https://cointelegraph.com/news/indias...Venezuela is Creating a Digital Currency to End Their Financial Crisis https://futurism.com/venezuelan-presi...China’s central bank is developing its own digital currency, even as it bans bitcoin and private cryptos http://www.scmp.com/business/companie...Canadian Financial Institutions Analyze Feasibility of Central Bank-Issued Digital Currencies https://cointelegraph.com/news/canadi...Bank of America Wins Patent for Crypto Exchange Systemhttps://www.coindesk.com/bank-of-amer...North Korea may be making a fortune from bitcoin maniahttp://money.cnn.com/2017/12/12/techn...'We are about to see massive disruptions': IMF's Lagarde says it's time to get serious about digital currency https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/13/bitco...In ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology, the phoenix is a mythical bird associated with the Egyptian sun god Ra and the Greek god Phoibos Apollo (Apollyon or Abaddon in Hebrew). It is a symbol of death and resurrection.Lately, the rising of the Phoenix ritual is being displayed all around us from ceremonies to TV shows, music albums and even some strange incidents around the world. The question: Why?According to Manly P. Hall (°33 Freemason) the Phoenix will rise again:The time will come when the secret wisdom shall again be the dominating religious and philosophical urge of the world. The day is at hand when the doom of dogma shall be sounded. The great theological Tower of Babel, with its confusion of tongues, was built of bricks of mud and the mortar of slime. Out of the cold ashes of lifeless creeds, however, shall rise phoenix like the ancient Mysteries.” (Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages, 2003 Edition, original text published in 1928)The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come.” (Revelations 17:8)RFID, Blockchain, AI, Bitcoin - Mark of the Beasthttps://youtu.be/W7nt5FynDw8One World Currency - China Creating Blockchain Currencyhttps://youtu.be/U_t7gWT6Tx4One World Religion Is Almost Here - Who's Driving It?https://youtu.be/mCwZ4Fkwqx8How To Break Spiritual Strongholds - Full Armor of Godhttps://youtu.be/dPkONf3pJbgNew videos are posted daily.

Earlier this week, we predicted your sexual future for this year. Now, lets take a look at your Chinese Zodiac to see whats in store for your financial life. It may be a dogs world this 2018, but are those born under that sign lucky enough to bring home the bacon? DogYears 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, and 2018Your sign is ready to take on the oozing energy of your year. In terms of money, opportunities to make some will be abundant. And becauseyour finances get easier this 2018, youll tend to spend more and save less. Watching your money work for you is so prideful for a dog, that you may get a little addicted to it, Horoscope.comsays. Now that you know this, don't forget to save up foryour future by controlling your spending!PigYears 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 200, and 2019Bitcoins, mutual funds, stocks? Its a good time to learn something new this 2018. Your sign is determined to master everything about money and investingtake advantage of it. By the last quarter of 2018, get ready to reap the rewards of these financial risks. Balato!RatYears 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, and 2008Rats are also financially lucky this year. Hard work will pay off around July. That month is also the best time to ask for a raise, promotion, or both.Putyour endless drive to use toachievesome of your larger goals (A new car? House and lot, maybe?) this year.OxYears 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, and 2009Just like the Pig, 2018 is also a great time for theOx tostart investing their hard-earned dough. Take risks, but keep your wealth liquid. A word of caution: lending money to friends is a bad idea. Just keep the funds to yourself.TigerYears 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, and 2010When it comes to cash, the Tiger tends to get lost. This year is different, though, because since the year of the Dog is slower than usual, youll finally have enough time to fix your financial lifetaxes, bills, etc. 2018 is also the best year for you to plan for your financial future. For one, if youre an aspiring businessman, its a great time to launch a new endeavor!RabbitYears 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, and 2011Your financial situation will get a boost from the Dog, and you will see your funds grow. Youll be invited to invest in something biggo all in and watch your money work for you. Those already employed will find that 2018 will be slow for their career. Dont fret, because others will see how hard you work.DragonYears 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, and 2012Since the Dragon and the Dog dont normally get along, this may be ataxing year for you. Speaking of difficulty, you might face a financial crisis in the future, so its best to startsaving for it ASAP. Though financial literacy bores the hell out of you, planning (and again, saving) for your future is a necessity. Start now.SnakeYears 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, and 2013Hopefully, you can muster up the integrity needed for paying all your utang. If you do, congratulations! Now that you dont owe anyone money, its time to start saving up. Once you've saved enough, the next step is to make that money grow. And just like the other signs, 2018 is a good year for the Snake to pmake your money move.HorseYears 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, and 2014The expression workhorse was coined with the sign of the Horse in mind because of your commendable work ethic. If you feel like youre not getting paid enough, dont be afraid to ask for more. 2018 is also the best time to put up a business. Make sure to consult a financial advisor first.SheepYears 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, and 2015If youve been spending your time online, 2018 is the year to sign up for a part-time job using that laptop. That online job opportunity will give you extra cash!MonkeyYears 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, and 2016Monkeys and finances dont always mix well, so its best to find a trustworthy financial adviser (or even a friend) to help you out. Better yet, do it on your own. Start by making a financial plannerlist your daily expenses, your monthly budget, and more. You can also start reading articles and books about money and business, too.RoosterYears 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 969, 1981, 1993, 2005, and 2017If youre planning to open a savings accounts or a stock portfolio, do it. 2018 is a good year for the Rooster when it comes to saving and growing cash.

Home/Magazine Archive/July 2017 (Vol. 60, No. 7)/Cryptovirology: The Birth, Neglect, and Explosion.../Full Text Privacy and security Cryptovirology: The Birth, Neglect, and Explosion of Ransomware By Adam L. Young, Moti Yung Communications of the ACM, Vol. 60 No. 7, Pages 24-26 10.1145/3097347 Comments View as: Print Mobile App ACM Digital Library Full Text (PDF) In the Digital Edition Share: Send by email Share on reddit Share on StumbleUpon Share on Tweeter Share on Facebook Share Credit: Alicia Kubista / Andrij Borys Associates Cryptovirology was born out of scientific curiosity of what the future may hold for software attacks that merge cryptographic technology with malware. It started at Columbia University as a natural by-product of an unnatural union: a former hacker placed in a room with a cryptographer, both given ample time with which to contemplate the dystopia of tomorrow. Collectively, given our backgrounds, we had amassed a body of highly unconventional scientific problems that hackers face when infiltrating computer systems as well as the foundational cryptography with which to solve those problems. Our list of problems included the following question: How devastating could the most insidious malicious software attack be against a target? To put things in perspective this was circa 1995. Many people had not heard of the Internet, and among those that did, many were obtaining an email address for the first time. The typical home computer was not online all the time. Users had to use dial-up modems when they wanted to check email. USB technology did not exist. 3.5-inch floppy disks were the norm. Cryptography, for millennia, had been perceived as a purely protective technology, and in particular as a way to hide the content of messages, secure data at rest, and authenticate users. On the one hand we were aware of the failed AIDS Information Trojan that scrambled the names of the victim's files using a symmetric key and demanded a ransom to unscramble them. From a technological perspective this attack crumbled since the decryption key could be extracted from the code of the Trojan. In addition, we had in mind the grotesque vision of H.R. Giger in the science-fiction movie Alien.5 Of particular interest to us was the alien facehugger. This creature resembled a cross between an insect and an octopus. It would wrap its legs around the victim's face and insert a tube down the victim's throat. It wrapped its long tail around the victim's neck and squeezed. The victim would enter a form of coma, while the egg the face-hugger implanted into the abdomen would incubate into a drone (or queen) and burst through the stomach of the victim, thus completing a phase of the alien life cycle. There was no way to safely remove the facehugger once attached. Touching the facehugger caused it to tighten its tail and restrict the flow of air to the lungs. Cutting it caused its corrosive alien blood to bleed out and disintegrate everything it seeped through (including the floors of the spaceship). Try as they did the crew's scientists could not find a way to safely remove facehuggers from their victims. The AIDS Trojan and the facehugger idea defined in our minds the "where we are now" versus where malicious software attacks might evolve to, respectively. We sought a digital analogue of the facehugger, namely, a forced symbiotic relationship between a computer virus and its host where removing the virus is more damaging than leaving it in place. But what we discovered was not exactly that which we sought. We discovered the first secure data kidnapping attack. We called it cryptoviral extortion. In cryptoviral extortion, the attacker generates a key pair for a public key cryptosystem and places the "public encryption key" in the cryptovirus. The corresponding "private decryption key" is kept private. The crypto-virus spreads and infects many host systems. It attacks the host system by hybrid encrypting the victim's files: encrypting the files with a locally generated random symmetric key and encrypting that key with the public key. It zeroizes the symmetric key and plain-text and then puts up a ransom note containing the asymmetric ciphertext and a means to contact the attacker. The victim sends the payment and the asymmetric ciphertext to the attacker. The attacker receives the payment, decrypts the asymmetric ciphertext with his private key, and sends the recovered symmetric key to the victim. The victim deciphers his files with the symmetric key. At no point is the private key revealed to the victims. Only the attacker can decrypt the asymmetric ciphertext. Furthermore, the symmetric key that a victim receives is of no use to other victims since it was randomly generated. We presented this attack along with the facehugger analogy at the 1996 IEEE Security and Privacy conference.8 The discovery was perceived as being simultaneously innovative and somewhat vulgar. Years later, the media relabeled the cryptoviral extortion attack as ransomware. In the conference paper we proposed that electronic money could be extorted by the attacker. This is what happens today using bitcoin. We have observed that what we described over 20 years ago is the exact "business model" used today in an estimated $1 billion-a-year criminal industry: the industry of ransomware. We discovered that public key cryptography holds the power to break the symmetry between the view of an antivirus analyst and the view of the attacker. The view of the antivirus analyst is the malware code and the public key it contains. The view of the attacker is the malware code, the public key it contains, and the corresponding private key. The malware can perform trapdoor one-way operations on the victim's machine that only the attacker can undo. A multitude of cryptovirology attacks, both overt and covert in nature, are based on the unique advantage this gives to the attacker. These methods weaponize cryptography as an attack tool as opposed to the previous uses that were defensive in nature. In our 2004 book Malicious Cryptography: Exposing Cryptovirology9 we presented the following analogy: cryptovirology is to penetrating computer systems as cryptanalysis is to cracking ciphers. It is a proactive anticipation of the opponent's next move and suggests that certain countermeasures should be developed and put into place. To counter cryptoviral extortion we recommended a diligent backup strategy and searching for crypto code where it does not belong. We warned the public about these threats and similar ones by publishing our findings, thereby providing a significant head start to develop and deploy defenses. It has been a long road that we have followed, fraught with skepticism and criticism, ultimately resulting in worldwide recognition that cryptoviral extortion is a severe threat. Over the years we have given numerous lectures on cryptovirology. We have experienced the spectrum of possible reactions. Some concurred that the threat is real. Others insisted that cryptoviral extortion was pointless, that it offered nothing to the attacker beyond deleting the hard drive. Still others professed that no victim would ever pay. Shortly after we published our book, it was met with harsh criticism. An expert who had written books on computer viruses published a scathing review, concluding that for those seriously involved in the study of malware the book is of "little practical use." This opinion directly translates to telling the public there is no need to worry about ransomware. We attributed such reactions to the inherent resistance many people feel toward new ideas, especially ideas that merge two previously distinct disciplines, in this case, malware and cryptography. It seemed to us that the difficulties known as the "innovator's dilemma"2 apply also to proactively addressing threats and risks. Cryptovirology has proven itself to be a formidable threat. Ransomware attacks make the news daily. Victims include individuals, hospitals, police precincts, universities, transportation systems, and government offices. We even saw the development of "ransomware as a service" where cryptovirology tools are sold to criminals that perpetrate cryptoviral extortion (for more details on ransomware, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ransomware). This past year we have witnessed a vicious downward spiral: the more organizations that were attacked, the more news coverage there was on ransomware. The more news coverage there was on ransomware, the more criminals got in on the action, prompting ever more news coverage. The media amplified cryptovirology awareness among law-abiding citizens and criminals alike. Cryptovirology has proven itself to be a formidable threat. Social and legal reactions to the damage followed. In fact, the trip further down the spiral changed the very definition of a "computer breach." Prior, a computer breach was synonymous with the exfiltration of sensitive data from an organization. This past year the meaning expanded to account for ransomware. A recent fact sheet published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on ransomware and HIPAA states that when electronically protected health information is encrypted by ransomware a breach has occurred and the incident therefore constitutes a disclosure that violates HIPAA.6 The justification for this definition is that the adversary has taken control of sensitive health information. This is a significant change in the definition of a computer "breach" since now, due to the threat of cryptoviral extortion, a breach can occur even when no sensitive data is exfiltrated! A highly publicized and effective ransomware attack was carried out against the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, and the hospital paid $17,000 in bitcoin for restoration. This, along with the epidemic levels of similar attacks, prompted the state of California to enact a new law that addresses ransomware.1 "SB-1137 Computer crimes: ransomware" amends Section 523 of the Penal Code to outlaw the introduction of ransomware into a computer system with the intent of extorting money. Reuters reported that the WannaCry crypto-worm from May 2017 locked up more than 200,000 computers in more than 150 countries.7 The attack exploited a vulnerability hoarded by the NSA that was exposed by whistle-blowers and later patched. The attack was nonetheless severe since organizations and individuals were not diligent enough in patching. We finally point out that cryptovirology has influenced popular culture as well, inspiring the plot in Barry Eisler's techno-thriller Fault Line.3 Over the years we have observed a palpable reluctance by security companies to describe the cryptoviral extortion attack in detail and discuss countermeasures. We view this as being fundamentally flawed; it is the classic phenomenon of "reactive security" (acting after the attack) as opposed to the preventative "proactive security." We believe ransomware is the tip of the iceberg. Most cryptovirology attacks are covert in nature, allowing the adversary to securely steal information completely unnoticed. These attacks would slip past or stymie the vast majority of computer incident response teams. It took over 20 years for cryptoviral extortion to gain worldwide recognition, and it appears that the bulk of these other attacks, which are fully described in the scientific literature, are heading in the same direction: destined to be overlooked until a large-scale real-world attack is publicized. Santayana's aphorism: "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"4 seems to apply equally well to malicious cryptography. Back to Top References 1. Barth, B.

What do you need to carry bulks of cash around for when you could put your cash in your bank and use your bank card to access it no matter where you are in the world? The Congress shall have Power [...] To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures; To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States; Art. 1, Sect. 8 grants the Federal Congress the capacity for coining money, regulating value of it and foreign coin, while allowing for federal punishment of counterfeiters. No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility [...] Art. 1, Sect. 10 prohibits the individual states from coining money and making laws about paying debts with anything other than gold and silver coins. The federal government was supposed to create tender in silver and gold. The states were prohibited from making laws allowing debts to be paid in anything but the federally minted gold and silver tender. In essence, when big banking sunk its greedy teeth into the US government (Federal Reserve Act of 1913), under the guise of stabilizing the economy, what really happened was the slow erosion of the Constitutional mandate for hard currency in the form of gold and silver tender/coin. One of the first things (1914) that the Fed did was issue "$10 Federal Reserve Notes" and then in 1918 they issued "Large Denomination" Federal Reserve Notes (these notes were discontinued in 1969). (Side Note: While the Federal Reserve was creating it's first tender, we were also fighting in World War I.) The Great Depression hit in 1929. The result was economic chaos. By 1933, citizens had lost faith in the banking system. Rather than face the music in regards to the shady business practices that led up to the Great Depression and the subsequent Banking Crisis, the US Congress gave the president "emergency" banking powers (1934). The president used these powers to illegalize the use of gold and gold certificates. The US Treasury was told not to exchange dollars for gold. This is the moment that federal reserve notes (dollars) became the only legal tender for contracts, and thus debts. So, you see, there is no Constitutional basis for dollars. It turns out that gold and silver are fucking heavy. That's why we've historically used representative slips of paper and determined that banks were decent places to stash our collections of precious metals. But, the Great Depression and the Banking Crisis showed the people that the greedy banksters were not trustworthy. Their predatory lending practices had led to an economic disaster and the smart citizens literally ran to the bank to get their property back. In 2001, after the World Trade Center towers were destroyed, Congress approved emergency legislation that eroded civil liberties in the name of the War on Terror. The Homeland Security Act of 2002 included banking as part of the "critical infrastructure" of the United States. By 2004, the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 made it clear that FinCEN's DATA collection was integral to the cross-border fight against terrorism. To fight the "War on Terror" anyone who uses a bank is subject to government scrutiny. And, anyone who doesn't use banks is subject to twice as much scrutiny. We live in a "post-9/11" world where technological invasions of privacy are so mainstream that the phrase "privacy is dead" has become part of the culture. Congress passed emergency legislation which gave the banks even more money. That means that Congress gave tax payer money to the very people who'd just spent years robbing tax payers (and foreign visitors). That pissed people off. But, it didn't change the system. In fact, the banking system and more recently the electronic banking system have become so entrenched in daily life, that people cannot fathom alternatives. Because of Bitcoin's open source nature, other blockchains have since been created. The fact that cryptocurrency is growing in popularity has only served to spur various federal government agencies to issue rules, guidelines, and other informative missives regarding virtual currencies. Congress has not made any laws regarding cryptocurrency, yet. State regulations vary. Cryptocurrency traders run the risk of being unlawfully targeted by overreaching federal enforcement officers who see money laundering in every cryptocurrency transaction. Only, these federal enforcers have ignored the fact that until a law is written, a law cannot be broken. Cryptocurrency traders are no different than software in-game item traders. The cryptocurrency game is a decentralized private banking model, replete with trading platforms, electronic funds transfer access, and time consuming in-game missions (faucets, SteemIt). The fact that some people and businesses offer real world items for tokens from the game, doesn't make cryptocurrency traders into money launderers or terrorists. It just makes them gamers in an alternate reality game where banks aren't controlled by governments. It's an ARG that has the FED shaking their fists and arresting crypto traders.

Or are they ex-billionaires? Or...? In 2016, Tyler Winklevoss, one half of the infamous Winklevoss twins who may be the world's first bitcoin billionaires, told The Financial Times, We see bitcoin as potentially the greatest social network of all." *Sigh* As the urban legend goes, identical twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss first met Chairman, CEO and creator of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg in 2003, when all three were students at Harvard University. In 2004, the brothers and their friend Divya Narendra sued Zuckerberg for intellectual property theft, claiming he'd stolen the idea for his world-changing social media giant, Facebook, from their own social networking site, first known as HarvardConnection and later renamed ConnectU. RELATED:What Is A Bitcoin? 17 Funny Bitcoin Memes Explain Why They're Suddenly So Popular In 2008, the twins signed a settlement agreement granting them $20 million in cash and 1.253 million shares in Facebook stock, which at the time amounted to a handsome $65 million total value. All of which was captured on screen in (see Tyler's not-so-veiled reference above) The Social Network, the Academy Award-winning 2010 film based on the story of Facebook's creation and the subsequent lawsuits filed against Zuckerberg by the twins, Narendra, and Eduardo Saverin, Zuckerberg's former friend who claimed that "his shares of Facebook were unfairly diluted when the company was incorporated." As it turns out, the pair was not content to rest on their laurels. In 2013, the twins used $11 million of their settlement earnings and invested in bitcoins. RELATED:5 Ways Introverts And Extroverts Use Facebook Much Differently If you're not yet in the know about cryptocurrencies, a bitcoin is a form of online, untraceable currency that fluctuates in value. Cameron and Tyler's personal stash of bitcoins is reported to now be valued at over $1 billion following the recent surge over the past few months, officially making the Winklevoss twins the first bitcoin billionaires... perhaps. In case you haven't been keeping up with the lives of the men sometimes "affectionately" referred to as the Winklevi or Winklevii, we rounded up the following facts about what they've been up and how on Earth they managed to became so. stinking. rich. Here are 6 facts that answer the question, "Are the Winklevoss twins the first bitcoin billionaires?" as well as what they do with their time when they're not seeking vengeance on Mark Zuckerberg. 1. They were the first bitcoin billionaires kind of. When Facebook went public in 2012, the twins combined shares of stock were worth around $300 million, their rowing careers were over, and they were looking for something new to keep them busy, so they began dabbling in bitcoins with an initial investment of $11 million. At the time, the price of one individual coin was below $10 and few people in Silicon Valley or on Wall Street had publicly expressed interest in the virtual currency. What's even more interesting is that the twins investment was responsible for sending bitcoins market capitalization North of $1 billion for the first time in 2013. Noticing that bitcoin was close to this crucial point, Cameron Winklevoss made a small order on the now defunct bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox to buy bitcoin for at least $91.26, pushing bitcoin's value into the 10-figure range, according to Nathaniel Poppers 2015 book on bitcoin, Digital Gold. In early December of 2017, Business Insider proclaimed the Winklevii the first bitcoin billionaires, as the value per coin hit a record high of approximately $17,800. There are just two minor details that present a bit of a challenge to their crowning title. As Thornton McEnery pointed out in a headline that summed it all up on DealBreaker, "The Winklevii, Who Are Two People, Are Not A Bitcoin Billionaire, Because They Are Two People." And just today, January 23, 2017, news broke that the twins"have lost around $443 million each as a result of the falling value of the cryptocurrency and have fallen out of Bloombergs Billionaire Index." Such is the nature of the beast. 2. Not to worry, they have profited from additional virtual currencies. In addition to their bitcoin collection, Cameron and Tyler have amassed an additional $350 million in earnings from similar cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum. The two have told sources they may consider selling once bitcoin's value equals that of gold, which is somewhere around $7 or $8 trillion world-wide, as they believe Bitcoin is on track to replace gold as a rare commodity. However, Tyler has questioned whether they would even sell at that point. Let's hope the two see eye to eye when/if the moment arrives. 3. They maintain a low-key lifestyle kind of. Despite the astronomical rise in value of the currency they have amassed, the twins are reported to have sold a small percentage of their coins to created their own virtual currency exchange known as (what else?) Gemini but other than that transaction, are believed to have no other plans to sell more in the near, or even far, future. That should not lead you to believe, however, that the two are cash-poor, by any means. While the former Olympic athletes, who finished 6th when they rowed for Team USA in 2008 at the Beijing Olympics, like to describe their lives as not being entirely luxurious, emphasizing often that Cameron drives an older SUV, while Tyler doesn't even own a car, the New York Post points out, "Vanity Fair reported in 2011 that they shared a BMW M3. They co-own a home in the Hollywood Hills as well as an apartment in Soho. (A rep for the brothers said they have separate apartments in the city but had no comment on anything else.)" In the same article, their old friend Narendra says, 'They have multiple really nice houses. They dont live together,' said Narendra. He paused before adding: 'Well, it depends on the day.' RELATED:10 Women Reveal The Bad Facebook Habits That Are Total Dealbreakers 4. The security system protecting their fortune consists of a torn-up paper key. Although the twins have endured their fair share of ridicule for both their Facebook troubles and their bitcoin obsession, Tyler recently told the New York Times, "We've turned that laughter and ridicule into oxygen and wind at our back." As explained in detail on Business Insider, they guard their new found fortune in what's known as a "cold wallet" system. "Because bitcoin is a digital currency, it can be stolen in a hack. Earlier this month, for example, one cryptocurrency-mining service said hackers had taken $80 million in bitcoin... Bitcoin resides in electronic 'wallets,' and each has a private key. If someone has that key, they can take your bitcoin. Printing the key and keeping it off the internet helps protect it from people trying to steal it. The Winklevoss twins take it one step further they cut up a paper printout of their private key, then stored the pieces in banks around the country. Here's how The Times explains it: 'The Winklevosses came up with an elaborate system to store and secure their own private keys. They cut up printouts of their private keys into pieces and then distributed them in envelopes to safe deposit boxes around the country, so if one envelope were stolen the thief would not have the entire key.'" 5. Not only do they have similar tastes in women, they date them TOGETHER. In 2012, the brothers were photographed together while on a date with Brazilian models Marina Theiss (near left, with Tyler) and Amanda Salvato (near right, with Cameron). While the two women are not related, it's not difficult to see that the brother's certainly shared similar preferences when it comes to their taste in women. Another report from Page Six in 2015 spotted Cameron taking his girlfriend at the time, Natalie Bieber, yet another Brazilian model, to the Top of the Standard for a date that included his brother Tyler. #tbt at #brunomars w/ @natibeberA post shared by Cameron Winklevoss (@winklevoss) on Oct 9, 2014 at 3:55pm PDT The two are both believed to be single at the moment, as women have also told reporters that they've seen the twins' profiles on dating apps, include Hinge, Bumble, and by-invitation-only Raya. 6. Their closest friends and family have a hard time telling them apart. Tyler and Cameron have always had a close relationship with one another, with one source reporting that they always preferred to dress alike. Even now as filthy rich grown-ups on the red carpet, they can typically be found wearing complimentary outfits, and they purposely maintain the same exact haircut. Many say the twins simply appear more powerful and interesting when they are together rather than apart. One unnamed friend from their college says says, Its like a shtick... They become more interesting together than they intrinsically are [on their own] theyre twice as powerful as they are alone. Thats why you never see them alone... Theyre [like] something out of Greek mythology... If one died, the other would die within 12 months.

In Indiranagar, a posh neighbourhood in Bengaluru dotted with upscale pubs and theme restaurants, is an eatery that serves Maharashtrian cuisine. It is not big and if you don’t look closely, you might miss Suryawanshi Restaurant. The Misal Pav and Mutton Thaali at Suryawanshi get due credit from food lovers. But what most Bengalurians, fintech gurus and startup junkies, including FactorDaily, seem to have missed is the fact that it happens to be the first restaurant in the city — and, likely, in all of India — that accepts Bitcoins in payment. “We started accepting Bitcoins almost a year ago,” Kailash Suryawanshi, the owner of Suryawanshi restaurant told FactorDaily. It accepts payment through Bitcoin wallets like Coinsecure, Unocoin or Zebpay “We started accepting Bitcoins almost a year ago,” Kailash Suryawanshi, said the owner of Suryawanshi restaurant. It accepts payment through Bitcoin wallets like Coinsecure, Unocoin or Zebpay   The restaurant came to our notice when Pravin Jadhav, chief product and growth officer, Servify, recently posted the picture of a “Bitcoins accepted here” sticker at the restaurant on Twitter. “I’m not a tech savvy person at all. I’m the opposite,” said Suryawanshi. But then, how did Bitcoins happen? “A friend of mine introduced me to it. I bought a lot of Bitcoins last year when it was priced around Rs 35,000,” said Suryawanshi, a Marathi businessman who now runs two of these eateries in the city. When his quest to find authentic Marathi food failed, he decided to start a restaurant of his own in 2013. Besides the Indiranagar outlet, Suryawanshi operates another one in Whitefield with a full kitchen. The Indiranagar restaurant was opened because he realised there was a scarcity of good Marathi cuisine in the area. “Not a single person has paid in Bitcoins until now” — Suryawanshi   For all the geek cred that Bengaluru boasts of, Suryawanshi’s little experiment hasn’t found many takers yet. “Not a single person has paid in Bitcoins until now,” said Suryawanshi, who has been in Bengaluru since 2004. “We wanted people to know what Bitcoin is. Those days it was just taking off but it’s now mellowed down a bit.” A handful of businesses in India have started accepting Bitcoins as payment, including books seller Sapna and Dharwad International School, Unocoin says on its website. With Bitcoin’s recent spike in valuation, Suryawanshi’s investment has grown multifold. Between June 2016 to June 2017, the price of a Bitcoin has gone from about $700 to $2500. Bitcoins might be killing it in the virtual world. But it still has a long way to go in the real world. “Places like these don’t really need bitcoins. PayTM and cash wallets are enough,” says Akshay Haldipur, one of India’s Bitcoin crorepatis (read Inside the fabulous life of Bitcoin crorepati Akshay Haldipur). Bitcoins might be killing it in the virtual world. But it still has a long way to go in the real world   In most small businesses, despite the government’s push towards digital currencies, cash remains the easiest way to transact. It’s also tougher for Bitcoins to become mainstream because sometimes it takes longer to authenticate. “I think globally, people are looking at it more as an asset rather than money,” says Benson Samuel, chief technology officer of Coinsecure, an India based Bitcoin exchange. “Even in the event of money, retail payments are a bit clumsy in terms of confirmations.” “I think globally, people are looking at it more as an asset rather than money… Even in the event of money, retail payments are a bit clumsy in terms of confirmations” — Benson Samuel, CTO, Coinsecure   Suryawanshi, who is a typical mainstream user of Bitcoin, also feels that there will be more takers for the crypto currency when the regulatory cloud over Bitcoin lifts. India’s central bank, the Reserve Bank of India, has cautioned people from trading in virtual currencies. Japan recognised Bitcoin as a legal payment method in February. In April, the Indian government said it will set up an inter-disciplinary committee to take a close look at the circulation of crypto currencies in the country. There’s a fair bit of support to legalise Bitcoins in India. Consumer protection and money laundering will be key issues the committee will look to tackle.
