quote:

Affected employees received a notification from HR. If so, the memo was sent to a personal email as Coinbase cut off access to the company systems. Armstrong called it the “only practical choice” given the number of employees with access to customer information, and a way to “ensure not even a single person made a rash decision that harmed the business or themselves.”


1) Lol at not even telling people to their face, just switching off their account and leaving a note in their Gmail.

2) Why do such a huge number of your employees have access to customer information?

2a) Further lol at management being like "oh yeah the people we hired would totally torch this place on the way out"

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

So far we have

- Crypto.com firing 5% of their workforce
- Coinbase firing 18%
- Binance halting withdrawals for two hours
- Celcius imploding

On the last point it's looking like Celcius took everyone's ether then locked it away in ways that mean they potentially won't get access to them for a year

if i'm understanding this right, they've locked it up so that it can't be recovered until ether goes proof of stake, ie the event that's been totally going to happen in a few months for years now

until ether goes proof of stake +12 months, so even if that happened tomorrow they're still hosed

it's a whole heap of flimflam and fraud. gobs of it.

cryptobros get startup money, get lots of investor money, vastly overleverage themselves, house of cards has collapsed. everyone is hosed, and the cryptobros are hoping to get away with it.

a real bank or financial institution would have support and service reps connected to customer account data and those pools could be rather large. they'd also have allotments aside from nuking the entire employee account and have them tiered to limit editing and viewing

i do wonder what the plan is for the existing employees. if they didn't trust the ones they fired to not burn it all down now, why should they trust the current ones?

and these geniuses, they didn't even buy crypto. they bought something that will turn into crypto if and only if etherium changes the core method that they operate which has the same likelihood of occurrence as grrm finishing the asoiaf series.

they bought so much of this putative-cryptocoin that they can't even sell it if they wanted to because there simply is no one interested in buying it. they could liquidate maybe 10% of their holdings which would also further drive the gulf between the not-yet-a-coin and the coin it might become. as of the tweetstorm, it's currently at a ratio of 0.96.

if eth forked tomorrow, in a year they'd get all of their different-eth in eth, but this would also just be a fork and the original proof of work eth would continue going while stake eth becomes the new bitcoin cash that they yell at you about for abbreviating bcc.

my employer has dozens of different systems that have access control lists which can be configured any number of ways with a single employee sign-on, so the notion that a large tech company can't figure out how to give access to email while disabling more sensitive systems is laughable. the only explanation is sociopathic laziness.

i think they're not really a large tech company. they're a small tech company which has been hiring over 1000 new people every year without actually going through the normal company growth process. so you have all the immature systems and lack of structure of a new startup, with a few thousand people milling around not knowing what they're supposed to be working on

this isn't cheap to do properly, when I worked in wealth management making sure no employee could see stuff they weren't supposed to was about 1/3 the work of any given project

probably the most extreme case though
