It is worth billions of dollars, and as such is a target for criminals.  Notable incidents include:\n\n[Mt Gox Exchange Hack](https://www.wired.com/2014/03/bitcoin-exchange/)\n[CoinCheck Exchange Hack](http://fortune.com/2018/01/31/coincheck-hack-how/)\n[BitGrail Exchange Hack](http://fortune.com/2018/02/11/bitgrail-cryptocurrency-claims-hack/)\n[Parity Wallet Issue](https://cointelegraph.com/news/parity-multisig-wallet-hacked-or-how-come)\n[Ledger Wallet Vulnerability](https://techcrunch.com/2018/03/21/a-15-year-old-hacked-the-secure-ledger-crypto-wallet/)\n[Verge Blockchain Vulnerability](https://mashable.com/2018/04/05/verge-crypto-hack/#lfCTK5tj_iqZ)\n\nAttackers exploit a vulnerability to perform an attack. A vulnerability is a flaw.   Flaws can exist in hardware, software and an online service. Exploitation of vulnerabilities can impact the confidentiality, integrity and available of system of information.  Exploitation of vulnerabilities in the cryptocurrency eco-system can have a serious financial impact as the above incidents show.\n\n# Vulnerability Disclosure and Handling #\nDevelopers should be able to receive vulnerability information, collaborate with the vulnerability finder,  verify the vulnerability, fix it, and then disseminate the information. There are two International Standards which ideally should be followed:  [ISO/IEC 290147](https://www.iso.org/standard/45170.html) and [ISO/IEC 33011](https://www.iso.org/standard/53231.html).\n\n\n# Analysis of the Crypto Eco-System #\n\nSome of the recommended practices of a mature vulnerability disclosure  program are:\n- publishing a vulnerability policy\n- a means to contact the vendor\n- publishing advisories\n- a bug bounty program\n\nBelow there is an analysis of how some of the major players in the crypto ecosystem compare against these recommendations.\n\n## Analysis of CryptoCurrencies ##\n\nCoin | Policy | Contact Details | Advisories | Bug Bounty\n------ |------ |-----------------  |--------------  |----------------|\nBitcoin|No|Yes|Email only|No\nEthereum|No|No|No|No\nRipple|No|No|No|No\nBitcoin Cash|No|No|No|No\nLiteCoin|No|No|No|No\nMonero|Yes|Yes|No|Yes\nVerge|No|No|No|No\nZcash|No|Yes|Yes|No\nElectroneum|No|No|No|Yes\nZcoin|No|No|No|No\n\nAs can be seen Monero and Zcash are the most mature in terms of following recommended practices.  The main surprise is Verge, who even after a recent vulnerability exploit are still not following recommend practices.\n\n## Analysis of CryptoExchanges ##\nExchange | Policy | Contact Details | Advisories | Bug Bounty\n------ |------ |-----------------  |--------------  |----------------|\nKraken|Yes|Yes|No|Yes\nGemini|Yes|Yes|No|No\nCoinbase|Yes|Yes|No|Yes\nBinance|No|No|No|Yes\nBittrex|No|No|No|No\nCEX.io|No|No|No|No\nBitfinex|No|No|No|No\n\nGiven the successful  hacks on exchanges it would have been expected that exchanges would be leading the way.  However, this seems far from the case.\n\n## Analysis of CryptoWallets ##\nWallet | Policy | Contact Details | Advisories | Bug Bounty\n------ |------ |-----------------  |--------------  |----------------|\nParity|No|Yes|No|Yes\nLedger|No|Yes|Partial|Yes\nTrezor|Yes|Yes|Yes|Yes\nCoinomi|No|No|No|No\nJaxx|No|No|No|No\n\nTrezor seems to following all the recommended practices.  Ledger has improved their practices after a recent vulnerability disclosure.  The main software wallets (Jaxx and Coinomi) are lagging.\n\n# Summary #\nGiven, the huge impact that exploiting vulnerabilities can have on the cryptocurrencies it is both surprisingly and worrying that the major players in the crypto ecosystem are not following recommended practices. Monero, Trezor, Kraken and Coinbase are leading the way, and others should follow suit.\n\nBuyers and users of cryptocurrency should be pushing exchanges, wallet vendors and coin developers to improve their practices.\n\n## Donations ##\nIf you found this article please feel free to donate BTC to 3Qq8gGi9USjL78wW28KK8S45xwpfZcGnhS",

      "body": "Congratulations! Your smartnode is up and running but when do get your rewards is the questions people have on their minds.  This FAQ hopes to answer most of the questions you may have regarding payments.\n\n# 1. Is your node qualified?\nThe smartnode system punishes new node.  It order to do this node payments which do not have more confirmations that there are node are not qualified for payment.  As an example if there are 8000 nodes, then 8001 confirmations are required.\n\n# 2.  How do I check how many confirmations my node payment has?\nYou can check the confirmations in your desktop wallet, in a few easy steps\n\n* Open your desktop wallet and ensure it is synced\n\n* Press the send button\n![Screen Shot 2018-02-08 at 11.32.57.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSmgY6EPpZ52pFgNgaF1LP15UsLBs9o4xFMgkDXa6dHzK/Screen%20Shot%202018-02-08%20at%2011.32.57.png)\n\n* Press the inputs button\n![Screen Shot 2018-02-08 at 11.33.12.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVCpadXnQKBDFuMPsaX3ZRYDDvFazRmWAarvM4duqkUup/Screen%20Shot%202018-02-08%20at%2011.33.12.png)\n\n* Find you node payment (10000) and look at the number of confirmations\n![Screen Shot 2018-02-08 at 11.35.59.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPSNsrMory6bvd2hw75uwNxj5eGBkni93FbStnhgizmGg/Screen%20Shot%202018-02-08%20at%2011.35.59.png)\n\n# 3. Ok, My Node is qualified, when do I get paid?\nA payment is made every 55 seconds, which equates to 1571 payments per day.  All nodes should be paid once, but a node gets a second payment.  The payment cycle is the number of nodes / 1571.\n\nHence, if there are 8000 nodes, the payment cycle = 5.09 days\n\nOf course, it is possible you could be paid before 5.09 days or after.\n\n# 4.  Can I lose my place in the payment cycle?\nThe system gives preference to the oldest smartnodes, hence it's vital to ensure your node stays online.  Your node can be offline for less than 60 mins without an issue.\n\nHowever, after 60 mins the nodes status will become *EXPIRED*, and after 180 mins the node's status will be *NEW_START_REQUIRED*.  Both of these can impact the time of your payment.\n\n# 5.  Ive heard some nodes get paid multiple times, why?\nWhen the smartnodes system was first launched, the criteria was not followed to allow the network to upgrade.  After a third of nodes were paid, the payment criteria is strictly enforced.\n\n# 6. Yes, but I can see some nodes are still getting multiple payments?\nThere are a few exceptions where this is still occurring.  In most cases, this is due to a payment to a node, not being recorded and the system paying the node again as it believes the node has not been paid.  The beauty of the blockchain is we can see those payments.\n\n# 7.  Will there be a fix and when?\nA fix has been tested and will announced shortly.  Please keep an eye on the __announcements__ channel in Discord.\n\n# 8. Donations\nIf you found this article useful please feel free to donate smarts to SkbXDz8FDc6L9kGv6o4f96EAibrrGmZktu",
