Rush to Bitcoin Cash Causes Exodus Wallet to Suspend BTC Trading Pairs

Wallet software platform Exodus suspended exchange features for bitcoin trading pairs over the weekend, after a rush to bitcoin cash caused major congestion. In a public letter to its customers, the company explains why the decision was made and the changes going forward.

Exodus Suspends Feature for BTC Trading Pairs

Torsten Sandor, Chief Communications Officer (CCO) for Exodus explained, “We believe in 100% openness and transparency. We are posting this statement on Medium, so you can add your thoughts. We are here, we are listening, and we want to make this right.”

In three days time, bitcoin cash went on a tear. Its price skyrocketed, causing many to either sell their existing coins or purchase them anew. In either case, it meant a major headache for Exodus.

“The parabolic rise of Bitcoin Cash had a serious impact on the Bitcoin network,” the company claimed. “Seeing the price surge, many of the miners abandoned the Bitcoin network and started mining Bitcoin Cash. BTC transactions were grinding to a halt. Bitcoin transactions normally take 5–20 minutes to go through, but this weekend we’ve seen transaction times up to 12 hours.”

Many analysts concluded the inverse relationship between bitcoin’s price fall over that period and bitcoin cash’s rise were both due to the pending Bitcoin hard fork being called off.

“Normally about 20% of miners work on Bitcoin Cash and 80% on Bitcoin,” the letter continued, “but this weekend BCH had more than two-thirds of the mining power. At the time of writing this update, there are still 135,000 unconfirmed transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain, about five to ten times the usual. This is the second worst Bitcoin network congestion of 2017,” the letter stressed.

The letter explains, “As the Bitcoin network slowed down dramatically, we started seeing these exchanges fail, and at the height of the congestion, one-third of all exchanges were unsuccessful.”

Suspension of their app’s exchange trading pairs, according to the company, happened at 6:40 UTC on 12 November 2017 due to “exchanges failing at an unacceptable rate.”

The Decision and its Consequences

Exorbitant transaction fees weren’t helping the company’s margins either.

Exodus “received over 1500 support tickets over the weekend, about 2 weeks’ worth.” They were able to recover somewhere around 60 percent of requests with “341 tickets unanswered, and 198 tickets where the solution has not been reached yet,” as of this writing.

At this point, customers wanted to be sure their money wasn’t caught in some kind of blockchain hell, unable to be recovered. Exodus assures that their decision to suspend averted such a disaster.

The company pledges to contact each customer impacted within two days. Also, “In the next 24 hours, we will deliberately use transaction boosting services to accelerate your transactions. We cover all related costs,” they wrote.

Going forward, the company plans to hire more engineers, add surge pricing warnings, and offer more exchange options.

“We know many of you feel Exodus has failed you at this crucial moment. We truly apologize.”

We poured our hearts into every detail, from pixel-perfect icons to subtle sounds, making a blockchain asset experience that "just works for normal people". Our goal: Remove the geek requirement to use cryptocurrency and make design a priority - we think it shows.

Love Your Blockchain Assets

Exodus makes it fun and easy to learn and use blockchain assets. No technical talk. No messy wallets. No confusing steps.

Contact Us For Help

We know problems are frustrating. Exodus provides an online help desk and 24/7 support resources to get problems resolved quickly.

The Problem With Blockchain Assets

Blockchain assets (also called digital currency or cryptocurrency) are a young, fragmented new frontier. New people buy bitcoin and miss out on exciting, new opportunities. Diversifying means learning about keys, seeds, wallets, blockchains, mining fees, cold storage, and more.

Not only do you give up control of your identity, privacy and money; everything quickly turns overwhelming with too much to learn.

Exodus was created to shift power back to you to control your assets - with no banks, no brokers or institutional oversight.

Exodus gives blockchain asset investors a platform to secure, exchange and manage wealth inside one beautiful application.

Exodus currently supports Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Dash, Decred, Digibyte, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, Vertcoin, Zcash plus more Ethereum powered asset tokens including 0x, Aragon, Augur, Basic Attention Token (BAT), Bancor, Civic, District0x, EOS, Edgeless, FirstBlood, FunFair, Gnosis, Golem, iExec RLC, Matchpool, Metal, Numeraire, OmiseGo, SALT, SingularDTV, Storj, Status, WeTrust and Wings.

Exodus is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Exodus is a software platform ONLY and does not conduct any independent diligence on or substantive review of any blockchain asset, digital currency, cryptocurrency or associated funds. You are fully and solely responsible for evaluating your investments, for determining whether you will exchange blockchain assets based on your own, and for all your decisions as to whether to exchange blockchain assets with Exodus. In many cases, blockchain assets you exchange on the basis of your research may not increase in value, and may decrease in value. Similarly, blockchain assets you exchange on the basis of your research may increase in value after your exchange.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Any investment in blockchain assets involves the risk of loss of part or all of your investment. The value of the blockchain assets you exchange is subject to market and other investment risks.

Exodus Wallet Now Has Built-in ShapeShift Trading

Exodus, the multi-asset wallet with a strong design and usability emphasis, now includes ShapeShift built-in. This allows users to trade between blockchain assets without leaving the wallet app.

In-App Trading

ShapeShift.io announced the move on October 5, saying it had worked with Exodus since late 2015 to integrate its API.

Exodus users can maintain balances in Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, Dash, and Dogecoin. The developers say they are working to include more assets in the future.

ShapeShift currently supports trading between 38 crypto tokens and currencies. Moreover, it does not require user accounts, registration or any kind of identification — a feature many find attractive.

Daniel Castagnoli, Exodus chief creative officer, said:

“Erik and his team understand the overall customer experience, design, marketing and support. The ShapeShift integration inside Exodus is just the beginning of what we can now do together.”

Exodus’ Design Focus

Looking at Exodus’ website and instructional material, it’s clear the company is focusing its efforts on design and usability.

Exodus’ Daniel Castagnoli

The company says its setup process is simpler than any other Bitcoin or crypto wallet — reportedly ready to use as soon as the app starts. A pie-chart-like diagram at the center shows a user’s entire portfolio, and each token’s proportional value.

However, users must have a balance of some kind to backup their keys. Private keys are stored locally on each user’s device, but balances are generally recoverable even if a device is lost.

Users can recover balances via Exodus’ automated backup email system, or by recording their recovery phrase (like other HD wallets). Exodus also requires password protection, and it’s imperative users remember them.

ShapeShift CEO and founder Erik Voorhees, who incidentally was Exodus’ first investor, praised the app’s design.

“Exodus has to be the most beautiful cryptocurrency wallet ever made,” he said. “It’s one of those products you try once and instantly see the magic.”

Founders Castagnoli and J.P. Richardson first started developing Exodus in mid-2015. The two are huge cryptocurrency proponents, saying they hold over 90 percent of their personal wealth in crypto assets of some kind, and also pay all contractors in the same.

Wallets Becoming More Sophisticated

Exodus is in several ways similar to Jaxx, another multi-asset HD wallet. Jaxx also features ShapeShift integration, and also has iOS and Android apps. For now, Exodus is available only on Windows, MacOS and Linux desktops.

Erik Voorhees

ShapeShift launched in 2013, and revealed Voorhees as its owner in early 2015. In April 2016, it suffered a $230,000 theft Voorhees claimed was an inside job. However, the company returned immediately and remains in business, with no customers losing money.

Blockchain fans can expect more competition in this space as time goes on, as software developers chase more mainstream, non-technical enthusiasts — who also like more versatile features. The clunky, bare-bones bitcoin wallets of the past are a distant memory as users embrace multi-asset, decentralized utilities.

My New Best Bitcoin and altcoin Wallet – Exodus Wallet Review

Last updated on January 2nd, 2018 at 12:00 am

It’s been a while since I reviewed Bitcoin wallets. The reason for this is that most Bitcoin wallets are basically the same so rarely do you stumble upon a wallet that is innovative.

A few days ago I got an email from one of my subscribers telling me he didn’t take my advice for the best Bitcoin wallet and used the Exodus wallet instead. He then went on to glorify the wallet’s interface and ease of use. I wasn’t aware of such a wallet so I looked it up online and apparently Exodus is indeed a new Bitcoin wallet.

Before going any further watch this video and see for yourself why it’s so unique.

Exodus wallet review

Exodus seemed to have been launched a month ago (July 2016) and still hasn’t gained enough reputation in the Bitcoin community. Actually Exodus is not just a Bitcoin wallet, it’s a “Blockchain assets wallet”. This means you can store Bitcoins, Litecoins, Dash, Ether and Dogecoins on Exodus all together.

But this is not all that makes Exodus so unique, here are the main things that I found so appealing:

Beautiful and intuitive design

Probably the strongest suite Exodus has is its user interface. Even if I didn’t know nothing at all about Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies I would still be able to use this wallet. It reminds me of Circle in the simplicity. Exodus is the kind of product you “fall in love with” the first time you use it, and that’s quite rare in the cryptocurrency world.

Here’s how an overview of your blockchain assets looks like:

Information is stored on your computer

Since Exodus is a desktop wallet navigation is fast and the private keys to your cryptocurrencies are stored on your machine. Exodus is a litewallet so you don’t need to download the whole Blockchain to your computer like you do with Bitcoin Core. Exodus is currently compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux. If you need to back up your wallet there’s a VERY simple step by step wizard built in inside the wallet that will help you do so.

You will also receive a backup link via email if you want to install Exodus on a another machine (say your computer gets destroyed). It’s all very secure through the use of a password and a mnemonic phrase (in case you forget your password).

You can trade cryptocurrencies from inside the wallet

One of the best features of Exodus in my opinion is the ability to trade your altcoins for Bitcoin and vice versa. Exodus has a built in exchange (powered by Shapeshift) that allows you to trade cryptocurrencies in seconds. You can’t buy coins with fiat, but since the whole idea of Exodus is to move away from any verification processes and dealing with banks I think that fits in perfectly.

The founders seem genuinely interested in their users’ opinion

It’s OK to make a crappy product, it’s not OK to leave it that way. I think what got my attention the most is the genuine interest Exodus’ founders had in their users opinion. Of course they are only about a month into running this project but something tells me JP and Daniel (the founders) are here to stay. You can see it in the simple to understand support videos they’ve uploaded, the multiple communication channels they’ve supplied on their site and the direct messaging platform to the founders via Slack.

Is the Exodus Wallet here to stay?

To sum things up, Exodus looks like a complete hit. The only downside I can see at the moment is the fact that the company and wallet haven’t gained enough reputation yet. Combine that with the fact that the Exodus code isn’t open source and you will always arouse some suspicion from the crypto community. Also, in order to become a true killer app the developer will have to continue and expand to mobile as well in my opinion.

But I believe that as time goes by and more early adopters come on board Exodus will quickly gain its loyal user base.

If you’ve had any experience with the Exodus wallet I’d love to hear about it in the comment section below.

Repair the Yahoo Search App.

Yahoo Search App from the Google Play Store on my Samsung Galaxy S8+ phone stopped working on May 18, 2018.

I went to the Yahoo Troubleshooting page but the article that said to do a certain 8 steps to fix the problem with Yahoo Services not working and how to fix the problem. Of course they didn't work.

I contacted Samsung thru their Samsung Tutor app on my phone. I gave their Technican access to my phone to see if there was a problem with my phone that stopped the Yahoo Search App from working. He went to Yahoo and I signed in so he could try to fix the Yahoo Search App not working. He also used another phone, installed the app from the Google Play Store to see if the app would do any kind of search thru the app. The Yahoo Search App just wasn't working.

I also had At&t try to help me because I have UVERSE for my internet service. My internet was working perfectly. Their Technical Support team member checked the Yahoo Search App and it wouldn't work for him either.

We can go to www.yahoo.com and search for any topic or website. It's just the Yahoo Search App that won't allow anyone to do web searches at all.

I let Google know that the Yahoo Search App installed from their Google Play Store had completely stopped working on May 18, 2018.

I told them that Yahoo has made sure that their Yahoo members can't contact them about anything.

I noticed that right after I accepted the agreement that said Oath had joined with Verizon I started having the problem with the Yahoo Search App.
No matter what I search for or website thru the Yahoo Search App it says the following after I searched for
www.att.com.

WEBPAGE NOT AVAILABLE

I tried to search for things like www.homedepot.com. The same thing happened. It would say WEBPAGE NOT AVAILABLE. The only thing that changed were all the upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols.
Then it would again say
could not be loaded because:
net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED

This is the same thing that happened when Samsung and At&t tried to do any kind of searches thru the Yahoo Search App.

Yahoo needs to fix the problem with their app.

Rush to Bitcoin Cash Causes Exodus Wallet to Suspend BTC Trading Pairs

Wallet software platform Exodus suspended exchange features for bitcoin trading pairs over the weekend, after a rush to bitcoin cash caused major congestion. In a public letter to its customers, the company explains why the decision was made and the changes going forward.

Exodus Suspends Feature for BTC Trading Pairs

Torsten Sandor, Chief Communications Officer (CCO) for Exodus explained, “We believe in 100% openness and transparency. We are posting this statement on Medium, so you can add your thoughts. We are here, we are listening, and we want to make this right.”

In three days time, bitcoin cash went on a tear. Its price skyrocketed, causing many to either sell their existing coins or purchase them anew. In either case, it meant a major headache for Exodus.

“The parabolic rise of Bitcoin Cash had a serious impact on the Bitcoin network,” the company claimed. “Seeing the price surge, many of the miners abandoned the Bitcoin network and started mining Bitcoin Cash. BTC transactions were grinding to a halt. Bitcoin transactions normally take 5–20 minutes to go through, but this weekend we’ve seen transaction times up to 12 hours.”

Many analysts concluded the inverse relationship between bitcoin’s price fall over that period and bitcoin cash’s rise were both due to the pending Bitcoin hard fork being called off.

“Normally about 20% of miners work on Bitcoin Cash and 80% on Bitcoin,” the letter continued, “but this weekend BCH had more than two-thirds of the mining power. At the time of writing this update, there are still 135,000 unconfirmed transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain, about five to ten times the usual. This is the second worst Bitcoin network congestion of 2017,” the letter stressed.

The letter explains, “As the Bitcoin network slowed down dramatically, we started seeing these exchanges fail, and at the height of the congestion, one-third of all exchanges were unsuccessful.”

Suspension of their app’s exchange trading pairs, according to the company, happened at 6:40 UTC on 12 November 2017 due to “exchanges failing at an unacceptable rate.”

The Decision and its Consequences

Exorbitant transaction fees weren’t helping the company’s margins either.

Exodus “received over 1500 support tickets over the weekend, about 2 weeks’ worth.” They were able to recover somewhere around 60 percent of requests with “341 tickets unanswered, and 198 tickets where the solution has not been reached yet,” as of this writing.

At this point, customers wanted to be sure their money wasn’t caught in some kind of blockchain hell, unable to be recovered. Exodus assures that their decision to suspend averted such a disaster.

The company pledges to contact each customer impacted within two days. Also, “In the next 24 hours, we will deliberately use transaction boosting services to accelerate your transactions. We cover all related costs,” they wrote.

Going forward, the company plans to hire more engineers, add surge pricing warnings, and offer more exchange options.

“We know many of you feel Exodus has failed you at this crucial moment. We truly apologize.”
