Poloniex is allowing its users to convert their BCH into BCHABC and BCHSV before the fork takes place and trade those respective coins, warning users that chains may become unstable and one worthless

Switcheo's Callisto Rollout, giving the Switcheo DEX the ability to list ERC20 tokens, is set to go live in the next 24 hours.

With IDEX recently implementing changes in which they refer to themselves as "Not a “DEX” in its current state. At this point the best way to describe IDEX is as a “non-custodial” or “hybrid-decentralized” exchange." and plan to add in KYC for users along with IP blocks, this could be the perfect opportunity for Switcheo to capitalise on what is sure to be IDEX's diminishing market share.

Stox (STX) reported to have performed an exit scam (Part 1 of 2)

After raising 33M USD (143,000 ETH) in just 34 hours in 2017, Stox was shilled by Mayweather and had the infamous Moshe Hogeg of Sirin Labs (another wonder ICO of late 2017) as an advisor.

Though they always claimed they were hard at work to deliver one of the best prediction markets, in fact they started dumping the supposedly vested tokens of the team and partners on exchanges almost immediately. Moshe Hogeg himself dumped a huge chunk of his share on Bancor.

In the last two weeks, Amazix have suddenly dissappeared from their admin positions and the CEO Yossi Peretz has resigned. Commologic and Invest.com, whom were once presented as key factors in Stox’s development and market share positioning, have already left the project.

Reports from earlier today state they have now abandoned their office, firing all staff...

Stox (STX) reported to have performed an exit scam (Part 2 of 2)

The Stox contract says that at the end of the token sale 29,600,000 more tokens were created. Of these 55% (or 16,280,000) went to the strategic partnership address.
25% was vested for Invest.com at address
https://etherscan.io/address/0xb54c6a870d4aD65e23d471Fb7941aD271D323f5E
and 20% was vested with the Stox team
https://etherscan.io/address/0x4eB4Cd1D125d9d281709Ff38d65b99a6927b46c1
Total 45% of tokens, equalling 13,320,000 Stox.

Both of these vesting addresses have the revoke=True parameter set. This means that they can choose whenever they want to revoke the vesting amount and have it returned to their wallet.

12 days after the crowdsale 7,400,000 Stox were withdrawn from the trustee contract to the wallet -
https://etherscan.io/address/0xaf773cb251d81178a611ba74e279bbaddce560c2
through the revoke function as shown in the transaction hash: -
https://etherscan.io/tx/0x4f79834acea65c45e5c64bca96dadbe7961d2e23dc77868d1ebc9cecd90ab3e3

This transaction is equivalent to 12.5% of total Stox (amount given to Invest.com). This is done again with 5,920,000 Stox which is equivalent to 10% of total Stox (the amount given to the Stox team). Transaction Hash -
https://etherscan.io/tx/0x334331066bb6d54a6614190b80ee0e0e9c8a4885f9fee3bbddc43bab7f30eaec.

Now looking at the revoke function it looks like you pass the holder address, the contract checks that the holder has a vested amount…and if true returns the vested amount to the sender. In this case the sender was
https://etherscan.io/address/0xaf773cb251d81178a611ba74e279bbaddce560c2
...the Stox contract parent address.

Most of these tokens (9,449,932) were sent to the strategic partnership address. Directly following from this, there were multiple transactions out of that wallet to the following two addresses -
https://etherscan.io/address/0x8d90fb2c2ff3f7f3187d28c60b81b935dea7f258
https://etherscan.io/address/0xc9e63038471d5f799b79dc2bb5b697a4135f4145

These transactions happened in the same hour after 4 days of inactivity on the partnership address. So it’s probably safe to say they were part of the supposed to be vested funds.

Stox announcement: How easy it is to create FUD:


The anonymous source re-published a message that was published and already answered

more than a year ago (26.9.2017). This source copied the message and shouted “Exit scam” without having any cause whatsoever.

We would like to stress that Stox will bring legal proceedings against anyone who defames Stox with unfounded allegations.

Here are the facts:

The transactions within the posts referred to, is in respect of revoke actions that were performed on the vesting contract more than a year ago.

The revoke function is an internal utility function that can only used by the vesting contract admin. This function cancels vested tokens to allocated accounts and transfers all those tokens back to the admin account.

The revoke function was used right after the ICO in order to fix vested amounts in invest.com’s and Stox’s team wallets. The revoked tokens were transferred back to the vesting contract, and then reallocated according to both the terms mentioned in the white paper, and also in accordance with agreements with our strategic partners and advisers. From time to time the revoke function is used to adjust vesting terms according to new or ended partnerships. For example, when an employee leaves our employ, Stox revokes his vested tokens and return them to the vesting contract.

We refer you to view the announcements that we published a year ago on the same exact post.

We once again would like to let you know that it was decided to terminate our contract with our Israel-based service provider ‘Commologic’, which had been providing services and moving to a new global structure. In this regard we have moved development an operation to Europe. Stox’s decision to make this move its activities falls more inline with other blockchain company operations and follows common trends. We say goodbye to the Israeli team that has been with us from the start, as part of the company’s decision to move finally towards a more decentralized platform.

As for Amazix community managers. Stox terminated the contract with AmaZix in October because the parties could not reach agreement on the commercial terms. Stox is currently in talks with AmaZix with the aim of re-establishing the relationship and renewing the contract

Regarding Moshe Hogeg’s wallet:

These are private transactions conducted by Moshe Hogeg on the secondary markets. These transactions are not related to his involvement in the company at all and were concluded independently.

To summarize, this project is continuing to work and move forward. We will continue to develop the product in the best interest of the company and our users.

Regarding Moshe Hogeg’s wallet -

"After the token sale this wallet was used by the primary shareholder to buy more STX in the market. The ETH from the wallet was purchased from the company by Moshe Hogeg. These were used to purchase additional STX.

Although this may not have been the best way to manage the wallet, it was done in good faith".

The question one would ask is, what constitues good faith in crypto? And what is unethetical behaviour?

Changes to the whitepaper and vesting structure post raise, changes to the overall distribution of tokens, partners quitting (or contracts not being renewed), another CEO leaving with just a brief Medium post, internalising all development and communication in house, while shutting down their main office and reportedly firing staff.

If nothing else, this has the hallmarks of a failing business. As always these facts have been reported in good faith.

https://etherscan.io/address/0x77599d2c6db170224243e255e6669280f11f1473#code

Due to incomplete trie data on our geth nodes (initially started with fast sync), we have encountered delays in our snapshot and distribution. We're working with a commercial provider of nodes to have a full archive node booted for us within a few hours. I expect distribution to start within 6 to 12 hours. Apologies for the delay.

Dear Contributor,

Hope this email finds you well. As you may have seen, Huobi just announced it is listing RBTC. https://huobiglobal.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000186361-World-Premiere-of-RSK-on-November-11-15-00-GMT-8-.

This announcement seems to have caused some confusion on social media concerning the relationship between RIFOS and the RIF Token on the one hand and RSK and RBTC on the other, and we wanted to reach out to clarify the situation.

As you know, RIFOS is being built on the RSK smart contract protocol (and the RIF Token is itself an RSK smart contract). RIFOS will consist of a set of integrated protocols and services for decentralized blockchain infrastructure services, all consumed with the RIF Token.

RBTC--the subject of Huobi’s announcement--relates only indirectly to RIFOS. RBTC is the native protocol token of RSK; it is used to pay gas to execute RSK transactions and smart contracts in the same manner that Ether functions as gas for Ethereum. Unlike Ether, RBTC is pegged 1:1 to BTC, and can be autonomously converted to/from BTC through the so-called “To Way Peg Mechanism” that bridges between the Bitcoin and RSK protocols. This two-way peg is fundamental to RSK and will not change with the availability of RBTC on exchanges. Exchange listing will, however, make it easier for less technical users to obtain RBTC and thus to use RSK and all of the applications that run on RSK (including RIFOS once it launches).

So, while this announcement is a positive development for RIFOS as well as RSK, it does not directly relate to RIFOS or the RIF Token. While imminent, the launch of RIFOS has not occurred, and the RIF Token, has not been listed on any exchanges.

We will continue to keep you apprised of the details of the RIFOS and RIF Token launch. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please let us know.

Warm Regards,

The RIF Labs Team
