Ethereum Co-Founder Reveals Method To Identify The Real Satoshi Nakamoto
April 6, 2020
https://www.ibtimes.com/ethereum-co-founder-reveals-method-identify-real-satoshi-nakamoto-2953361

With a market cap of $129 billion at its current price of $7,110, which leads all crypto assets, Bitcoin (BTC) hardly needs any intervention from its creator.
The real identity behind this pseudonym is still unknown to this day, but the crypto world buzzes whenever this name appears on headlines, hinting that there is still interest in knowing who Nakamoto really is.

Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson believes there's a way to find out who the Bitcoin creator is and that's through "stylometry." Hoskinson told crypto news site U.Today that the same methods of analyzing styles that are distinct to an author, for example, will also be useful in determining who Nakamoto is.

"You can apply stylometric techniques to that code and apply it to all the open-source projects that have ever been written and there's a very high probability you're going to find a match between that code and other code," Hoskinson said.

Cryptopia Users Win Court Battle for Their Locked Deposits
April 8, 2020
https://www.financemagnates.com/cry...s-win-court-battle-for-their-locked-deposits/

The clients of Cryptopia, a crypto exchange into liquidation, are entitled to receive their deposits, a New Zealand court ruled on Wednesday.
This judgment ended the ongoing tussle between the exchange and its users over the ownership of digital assets.

In his judgment, Justice Gendall J at the High Court in Christchurch classified digital currencies as “property” under Schedule 2 of the country’s Companies Act of 1993 as they were held in individual accounts.

“I reach the conclusion that the cryptocurrencies here situated in Cryptopia’s exchange are a species of intangible personal property and clearly an identifiable thing of value,” the Justice stated.
The trouble for the crypto exchange started after its hack in January last year which forced it to enter into liquidation. [...]

April 8, 2020
https://www.hackread.com/bisq-bitcoin-exchange-halts-trade-amid-vulnerability/

On Tuesday, Bisq announced that it has temporarily disabled trading because the platform has a critical security vulnerability.

Bisq is a well-known peer-to-peer, decentralized (non-custodial) Bitcoin exchange that lets users buy and sell cryptocurrency in exchange for national currencies.
Taking to Reddit, the company revealed that a hotfix will be released within a few hours and until then users should not send any funds to and from Bisq.

The Bitcoin exchange further stated that users must disable the recently added alert key function to block trading for their own security. However, users who still want to use Bisq for trading can do so but the company doesn’t recommend it.

G20 Financial Stability Board proposes new ground rules for stablecoins ahead of Libra launch
Governments and central banks want to hit pause on cryptocurrencies
April 16, 2020
https://www.techspot.com/news/84839-g20-financial-stability-board-proposes-new-ground-rules.html

Why it matters: The G20 Financial Stability Board believes that cryptocurrencies like Facebook's Libra are a risky proposition that requires an appropriate response in the form of comprehensive regulation, oversight, and holding those who operate stablecoin networks to a high standard of accountability. What it really means is that people are flocking to these financial instruments faster than governments and central banks can adapt to their existence.

Governments and central banks have learned one lesson from the Internet - letting a decentralized system evolve organically could spell trouble for centralized forms of power - unless they step in to change the rules.
The G20's Financial Stability Board has published a document where it outlines 10 recommendations for governments and central banks on how to adapt to this new trend.

The FSB doesn't mention Libra by name, but most of the concerns around Facebook's cryptocurrency project are echoed in the report [...] Governments and central banks are encouraged to ban cryptocurrencies that are operating in a legal gray zone and can't be regulated.

The problem is that while the FSB's recommendations can be implemented for traditional banking institutions, they're nearly impossible to implement on cryptocurrencies.

Hackers steal $25 million worth of cryptocurrency from Uniswap and Lendf.me
April 19, 2020
https://www.zdnet.com/article/hacke...-of-cryptocurrency-from-uniswap-and-lendf-me/

Hackers have stolen more than $25 million in cryptocurrency from the Uniswap exchange and the Lendf.me lending platform.

The attacks took place over the weekend, on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Although an investigation is currently underway, the two attacks are believed to be related, and most likely carried out by the same group or individual.
According to investigators, hackers appear to have chained together bugs and legitimate features from different blockchain technologies to orchestrate a sophisticated "reentrancy attack."

"However, the combination of using ERC777 tokens and Uniswap/Lendf.Me contracts enables [...] reentrancy attacks," the company wrote in a post-mortem report of the Uniswap and Lendf.me attacks.
The company believes the hackers used an exploit published in July 2019 on GitHub by OpenZeppelin, a company that performs security audits for cryptocurrency platforms.
