Hello CMM Community
First and foremost, we would like to thank you all for your continuous support. We’ve had a bumpy 2018; nonetheless, we came out much stronger and ready for 2019 and beyond. We value our community and are looking forward to growing our support and our following with your help.
Fork
As most of you may recall, on 21st of September 2018, our Bitcoin ABC blockchain got exploited using the Bitcoin Core Bug CVE-2018–17144. In short, the malicious actor was able to print CMM out of thin air. As soon as the team got aware of the incident, exchanges were informed and all trading was halted.
In November 2018, the team decided to use the Codebase from Zcash to start a new Blockchain, with a new emission curve and Masternodes. The snapshot of the old Bitcoin ABC blockchain took place on the 4th of January (Note: the malicious coin addresses were known and got nullified with the fork).
Cryptobridge were the first exchange which reopened CMM trading. Crex24 and SafeTrade followed soon after.
