After today's passing the parcel of blames, was checking Liminal's website, when I found this nugget  I don't think they are trusted by WazirX anymore. Although what do I know.

WazirX Customers Face Major Losses After $230M Heist

Welcome to Fintech India's Private Community

Hey developers@WazirX, CoinDcx and others I have plenty of questions. Others please resonate with me if you have faced the same. 

The listing takes places so late as compared to ither international exchanges. This leads to a massive lag(for the lack of better word) in hopping onto listing gains train. Any particular reason? 

Now that the bull run is about to come back and botht he number of users and transactions are increasing, everyday exchanges keep going down. I mean it's not like you guys are new or something and it's getting really really annoying to say the last at this point. Please hire good developers (no, I'm not one of them and wouldn't like to work for an exchange either)

Any suggestions from the Grapevine community for alternatives ?

Annoying re kyce every few months. 
And bastards have very specific requirements of doc uploads. U have to have original pan card with you and only take its photo. No existing screenshots or soft copies work.

Before this it happened twice.
Once because they would not verify an uploaded Aadhar card scanned copy. Kept saying they couldn't read it. Same thing worked everywhere else.

And before that they locked me out because of ProtonMail ban.

Some dude called satvik vishwanath built this louda platform tbh (sorry).

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey everyone, I am trying to get a referral for an APM role at CoinDCX. But it seems impossible through LinkedIn. I have been passionate about crypto for a long time and CoinDCX is probably one of the best in space. 
Would really appreciate it if anyone can help me with it! 
Thanks in advance!

- WazirX, one of India's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has temporarily suspended all trading activities after losing about $230 million in a security breach.
- The cyber attack compromised WazirX's ability to maintain a 1:1 collateral ratio with assets, raising concerns about the adequacy of its reserves.
- Customer withdrawals were suspended after an attacker accessed one of the exchange's multi-signature wallets, which was protected by six signatories.
- WazirX announced a bounty program of up to $23 million to recover the stolen assets, with risk-management platform Elliptic linking the attacker to North Korea.
- The breach is significant, as WazirX reported holdings of about $500 million in its June proof-of-reserves disclosure, calling the event a 'force majeure.'

WazirX Halts Trading After $230 Million 'Force Majeure' Loss

So basically to make the losses to others ‘equitable’ I’ll only get 55% of my holdings?

Looks like WazirX is playing Robin Hood in reverse - stealing from everyone to give to... well, themselves probably.

What the fuck - how’s this legal?

Wtf is WazirX upto
