This Week on StakeCube, 3rd of February 2023

General News

Crypto Markets Update

Bitcoin price has continued its attempts to break out of the $23,000 area, but so far unsuccessfully. It seems like there is a very hard to beat resistance at $24,000 and it will take some time to go above this level. However, that also implies that if the price does break out, it will be a very significant price increase. Nevertheless, it is also possible that so many rejections finally exhaust bulls, causing a price correction down to around the $20,000 support. Difficult to say at this point, all we can do is wait for it to finally decide if up or down over the coming days.

StakeCube in Numbers

  • Pool Value: 35.38 BTC -2.05%
  • SCC Price: $0.015 -25.00%

Status Report

Work continues to try to get StakeCube back and running as soon as possible so that we can begin to refund missing funds to our users. Here’s a summary of what we’ve done this week:

  • Moving coins to new wallets, for security reasons. This process is not yet finished, as it requires some time and coordination between developers and the tech team.
  • Preparing new additions to NodeCube, so that we can expand it as a revenue source.
  • Research into how and where to register a new company, under the name of the new administration.
  • Research into possible new revenue sources.
  • Wallet usage optimization, so as to be able to cancel as many servers as possible to lower expenses.
  • Rescanning all wallets to find additional missing coins.

And here’s what we will be working on over the next few days and weeks:

  • Reactivate the ETH staking service.
  • More coin listings.
  • Adding more coin options to NodeCube.
  • Continue the work to move all coins to new wallets.
  • Maintain and speed up chain indexing for CoinExplorer, with more servers after optimizing our server usage.
  • Preparation to release more funds from affected coins during next week.

As you can see, still a lot to be done, but we will get there step by step.

Fund Release

Over the next week, we will make available for withdrawal more funds from affected coins. These are the amounts and dates when these funds will be released:

  • Monday 6th: 550,000 DOGE. 3.93% of held balances.
  • Wednesday 8th: 1,250 LTC. 19.92% of held balances.
  • Friday 10th: 10,000 DASH. 45.08% of held balances.
  • Monday 13th: 4.5 BTC. 1.78% of held balances.

MineCube Disabled

This week we decided to disable MineCube, and will close down the API, as users will not be receiving rewards any time soon. We have been in contact with MeaTec to find a way forward for MineCube from our current situation. However, we have been informed that StakeCube has a standing debt of at least $300,000 with MeaTec due to repair, logistics and daily maintenance fees.
