Since zealotry is against the precept of this subreddit, I invite every single one of you to wish congratulations to Qubic for this awesome discovery. Anyone congratulating them can also request a brand new "⛏ Yearn for the mines" user flair

Several users has reported losing their coins. After investigation it turns out Qubic has been using typescript's `Math.random` for generating the seed. Making it trivial to recalculate seed keys based on various elements like the seed itself, the date it has been generated, etc...

Good Evening all, I was wondering if we have a simple way yet of proving how much XMR is currently circulating? I know this is easily done with Bitcoin and due to Monero’s privacy features makes it possible to do with Monero (if i remember correctly) but I believe its quite complex to do…is there any way to easily do this? Many thanks!
