MTGOX Exchange victims of hacking, promise to distribute NFT – Bits Media

The owner of the MTGOX exchange that ceased to operate on the free distribution of tokens to users, affected by a hacker attack in 2014 year.

During a hacker attack on MTGOX, attackers managed to steal 850,000 bitcoins, 200 000 of which later were Returned. In November, the trust manager MTGOX Nobuaki Kobayashi (Nobuaki Kobayashi) approved a rehabilitation plan for the exchange creditors. To "restore lost ties" with former customers of the exchange, her former general director Mark Karpels (Mark Karpeles) reported on Twitter about the launch of a new initiative.

Members, who registered on the exchange with 17 july 2010 years to 25 february 2014 of the year, will be able to apply for free NFT. To do this, you need to specify the last balance in the account, full name, Bank account number, and also send screenshots of correspondence with the technical support of the exchange. Collectible tokens will be sent to all MTGOX customers after checking the fact of registration on the trading platform. The deadline for submitting applications for receiving NFT will be limited.

Each NFT will correspond to a certain MTGOX account number. The value of tokens will depend on the last balance in the MTGOX user account: in bitcoins and fiat currency, converted into Japanese yen 1/100 by the Mufg Bank on 23 april 2014 of the year. If desired, users can refuse that, so that their final balance is reflected in these NFT.

According to Carpels, Unlutured MTGOX tokens will proof, that their owners were one of the first holders of bitcoin, and suffered from one of the largest hacks of crypto -streaks in history. Free distribution NFT should help partially compensate for the losses, incurred by users as a result of hacking.

A few years ago, Karpels announced the start of work on the blockchain operating system, which will help Japan to return technological leadership.
