Do they not like the new name? I don't either, though. I've seen a lot of "on X (formerly Twitter)" around and that's why I don't like the new name. If it were a good and memorable name we wouldn't need to qualify it like that.
> Mixin Network confirmd on Monday that it has "temporarily suspended" all deposit and withdrawal services after hackers broke into a database and stole about $200 million in funds from the Hong-Kong based cryptocurrency firm. > Mixin, which is a decentralized exchange, These 2 statements seem to contradict each other. If they are a decentralized exchange, how were funds stolen by hacking into a database?
"Decentralized" isn't a magic word. They're still an exchange, and there needs to be a way to extract funds. The database doesn't need to contain account balances or funds so long as it contains credentials necessary to access them.
Every time I see these stories I'm glad I keep all my cash in a regulated bank with regulator backed compensation rather than some startup powered by gargling bong water and hoping the fuck they don't get hacked.
You keep fiat currency in a bank? HFSP

Enough to eat for a couple of years. I keep my fiat currency in property.

Personally, I just skip the whole issue and call it Twitter. Everyone knows what that is.

The dude who's been hunting for his hard drive with his wallet keys on a dumpster yard would like to speak a word with you. Or those who had their disks seized by the government and the coins auctioned off. Or those where someone placed malware on their PCs or phones and exfiltrated keys.
