GENERAL RISKS IN CRYPTOCURRENCY TOKENS Sample Clauses

GENERAL RISKS IN CRYPTOCURRENCY TOKENS. Some of the key risks associated with purchases of cryptocurrencies generally are summarised in the following table but do not identify all of the risks associated with your purchase of cryptocurrency tokens. (a) Risk of losing access to your tokens due to a loss of your private key When you create a software wallet or vault to store cryptographic tokens in, you create a private key for that wallet (or you can create multiple private keys). The private keys are required and essential for you to hold and transfer or dispose of your tokens. If you lose access to your private key(s) then your software wallet or vault and any tokens stored within that wallet or vault will be lost. If a third party gains access to your private key(s) that third party can transfer your tokens to themselves or another person and you will not be able to recover those tokens. You should treat your private key as if it were the tokens themselves, ensure that you create a private key using best practice security processes and maintain the security of your computer systems to the highest standards. (b) Risks of mining attacks on a blockchain All decentralised cryptographic tokens based on Ethereum are at risk of attacks by miners in a network, which can include “51% attacks”, double spending attacks, selfish mining behaviour and other attempts by miners to “game” the blockchain. In the event of such malicious behaviour, a loss of tokens is possible. (c) Risks of bugs and hacking in open source software Much of the code currently in use in blockchain is open source and hence at greater risk of exploit by bad actors examining and seeking to find exploits within that code. Updates to open source code can provide further unexpected exploits despite the best efforts of developers. (d) Hacking and security weaknesses Hackers and other bad actors have caused the loss of significant sums of money in some high profile blockchain projects in 2016 and 2017. There remains the risk of malware attacks, denial of service attacks, spoofing attacks and other exploits being used against legitimate users of blockchain software and cryptographic tokens. We do not recommend that you use a “Hot Wallet” (that is a wallet hosted by a third party) to store your Tokens. We recommend you use a “Cold Storage Wallet” such as a Trezor or Ledger Nano (but note the Company is not associated with either manufacturer of those products) for storing your tokens. (e) Government Regulation Currently the regulatory landsca...
