– At 3:54 AM CET today, we received a report that specific transactions on the…

Meanwhile, in an entirely separate but equally tedious affair, some absolute rotter has made off with the Wayfinder tokens meant for Kaito users. Really, one begins to think the whole cryptocurrency business is becoming rather like a badly organized garden party where someone’s perpetually making off with the silver. 🎪
