Mike's weekend message to QUOINE community (March 24th, 2018)
Dear QUOINERs

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

Before I go into my weekly update, I want to share how the Japan FSA is putting in more control to protect crypto users in Japan.

I was a speaker at Token 2049 in Hong Kong on Tuesday March 20th and Wednesday March 21st.

From scalability to governance, the discussion explored the major technological challenges that face the token-based ecosystem and especially cryptocurrency exchanges.

Community Updates:

Hackers Alert

This past week, we have been reported a lot of scamming attempts made in an effort to steal our QUOINERS’ personal information. These phishing attempts come in several different forms: cloned QRYPTOS mobile app, fake QASH airdrops, fake QUOINE support email, etc

Crypto can feel like the Wild West with bandits around every corner ready to pounce and take advantage of those who don’t protect themselves.
Please be vigilant!
DO NOT hand over your personal information to any website that isn’t our official QUOINE site.
At the moment, we only have an official mobile QUOINEX app.

To protect our users, our latest blogpost runs down our top tips on how to transact safely in crypto.
