Bitcoin Forum

happy to announce new side project with someguy123 http://wallet.it.cx/

its still in testing but shuld be working dont deposit major amouts yet to but feel free to help test it :)

currently recoding alot of it to database backend other then litecoind itself and support for multi litecoind´s then will most likely be put on github

Further Information:

Litecoin Instawallet (http://wallet.it.cx) is to be a service similar to the Bitcoin Instawallet (https://www.instawallet.org/), with a nice design via bootstrap, and of course uses the nice brand new alternate cryptocurrency LITECOIN (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=47417.0)!
Our instawallet service currently features:

• INSTANT sign-up, no information required, at all. Simply hit "give me an address" and you have yourself a nice address, ready to send or recieve litecoins from
• Hosted on a dedicated server, ran by g2x3k.
• SECURE Authentication - You get a nice strong 20 character keycode as your "password" which is alphanumeric lower and uppercase, extremely hard to bruteforce.
• SECURE Code Design - Designed by me and g2x3k, the code uses PDO's prepared statements to prevent possible SQL injection, and plus there's plenty of sanitization to prevent any intrusion via the "send litecoins" feature, there's very little chance that someone is going to be able to find an exploit in our system, we'll even give you a 500 LTC reward if you do find an exploit and report it to us, that's how much we trust our code
• SPEED - At the moment, all transactions are instant, sending payments are generally instantaneous, and received LTC shows up straight away as well

NOTE: The wallet system is currently under major development behind the scenes - Streamlining the code, adding load balancing, implementing an internal MySQL transaction database to lower the strain on litecoind, as-well as many other improvements

Recovery Details
If you have lost your keycode for whatever reason, and it contained a large amount of LTC, please contact me on IRC:

• irc.freenode.net
• 6667
• #pool-x.eu
• My nickname is Someguy123, PM me with your IP address, as well as an estimated balance in the account, and I will try my best to verify ownership of your account, and get your LTC back in your hands

Nice to see a LTC Instawallet.

Very cool, I've been waiting for something like this to pop up.

Nice work!
We need more of those LTC services!

I'm not familiar with Bitcoin Instawallet so can you give me use case for LTC InstaWallet?

Lets say you're not at home, and you need to be able to access your Litecoin wallet just to receive some LTC from a friend, because they're not going to be available to send you the money for a while if you left it:
But you're not at home and you don't know your own LTC address fully, so instead you grab an instawallet, write down the key on a piece of paper for when you get home, and ask them to send the LTC to your instawallet.
Then once you're home, you can send the LTC from your instawallet to your real LTC wallet.

Or, lets say you're introducing a new user to litecoin, and they don't want to download the full client and all the blocks...
Instead, you give them the link to LTC Instawallet, and they can then just jump right in using that instawallet address.

So your LTC instawallet is tied to your IP?

What happens when someone tries to access this via a corporate firewall? Will everyone at IBM get the same wallet since their IP would appear identical to you?

Also is guessing the URL the only security feature? In that case, will you at least block an IP if they try to guess too many urls? and again what happens if someone from inside a corporate firewall is trying to guess wallet urls? Do you plan to block the entire company?

The reason bitcoin instawallet http://instawallet.org works is because a new address is generated on each access. I really think this is the only secure model.

Personally, I think instawallets are great but LTC would also need a permawallet (such as http://blockchain.info/wallet for bitcoins)

tied to ip wtf ? no ? .. all its "tied" to after being random generated is a browser session ... that recreates when visiting again using the link ..

and ye ips trying to bruteforce address are banned..

and no the bitcoin wallet and this works the same way if you keep using the link provided to you you have a wallet there for usage with the same address .... and this can be used as "perm" wallet aswell word instant is just to say dont have to download client+blockchain to get an address

Site appears down.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

What I meant by permawallet is that you really cant depend on the identity part to be a security check. For example: what if you adopt the position that an arbitrary string can be used as a username on a system and it would never need a password?

If the entity that serves as the identity cannot be changed such as username, email address or a url, then its obfuscation is no security. Bookmarks etc can be read from browsers by third parties.

True security comes from keeping identity and securing device (password) separate and being able update the password on a regular basis.

Any chance of an API? Screwing around with the Bitcoin Instawallet, and instant confirms on wallet-to-wallet transfer could be incredibly useful for getting paid quicker. 

Site is down!

Let me give you a idea, how to expand it and make it more useful.

You have the InstaWallet functionality and you can plug that in to the picture anywhere.

Idea is simple. I (or you)  as merchant  do not want to deal with all the BS involved with wallet, running *coind etc.
I have my shop(s) and I want someone else to worry about securing my money/*coin.
I also have no wish to set up trading accounts etc to convert payments to fiat (sorry, but fiat rules the world at the moment, no matter how exited and sweaty some of the enthusiasts get over *coin.)
For me, LTC, BTC etc are not the new currencies but a new and hopefully cheaper methods of transferring funds.

So, to make adapting *coin as painless as possible, I like to see a "hub" and a working plugin for my FOS shopping cart software X that takes care of all that and I, as a business, can concentrate on what I do well (sell shit on the net? or what ever you do).  :)
My business in NOT secure wallets from dipshitt hacker criminals and find current exchange rate from the exchanges. I like you to provide this as a service to me (or any business, who uses *coin). We need The Coin Hub (tm)! 

This is simplified sketch of the service I am talking about.
FOS shopping cart A... = plugin for most common online shop software like OS Commerce etc

If you think, you can build it, please let me know and I like to participate in this project.

Neat idea...but sadly the website is down

I could really use the site right now if it were up.

Trying to do something similar with a website that can take an instawallet URL and cash it out as Paypal within seconds, with possibly a browser extension or a javascript embed that can pull from your balance with one currency to accept another that you would otherwise never use, be it BTC, LTC or PP.

Sounds great, but as mentioned above, the site is down at the moment.

I'd really like for it to be up, I have some 3000 coins on my wallet (May not be much, but for a poor guy like me its a lot).

Bump :/

This isn't good. I'll see to it you get your funds.

no worries all thats happend is isp changes and routing problems ill get it move to other isp soon

News?

is up now ..

Hmmh...this could be used for mobile LTC payment...

1) What have you learned from Bitcoinica fiasco?
2) What have you changed after that?

Nobody wants to get zhoutong and sodomized with Intersangos butt plug?

Hey, just curious, noticed service has been down for I think two or three days, how long do you think it will be down?

In case anyone is wondering, wallet's been back up for almost a day now :).

If anyone wants some free LTC to play around with I have a LTC faucet set up that can pay out to these wallet addresses: kmpapplications.com.

its up/down atm randomly due to being located on dev serv.... however i published the source @ https://github.com/g2x3k/litecoin-instawallet-simple

shuld give idea about one/simpelst way to handle *coin interaction with sites

the derv serv have been fixed along with two other comps yesterday... had a reason to get some stuff done lol :) it shuld be up for next long while usually hits a 3mths uptime before i want to clean it

Great! Thank you! I'm excited. :-)

Anyone know whats happening with this service i have LTC stuck in here ???

you can find g2x3k on IRC #pool-x.eu,#litecoin,#litecoin-dev @ FreeNode

and there is a new eWallet up!

the site is up again and i made a few updates nothing serious... yet

How's the functionality nowadays? All good? I see it's still under development but have you seen any problems with transactions going wrong at all?

cant access my wallet :(

Still isn't working.

Any idea when the site is going to be back up, I've got 200LTC that I've been waiting for over 2 weeks to transfer to my own wallet.

up and running again :) moved my coins.. i dont feel save anymore

Well, maybe a smaller amount- no?

For the record- Great service! I for one am glad you guys are around!

it is indeed a good service. but comparing to blockchain.info the user is out of control of his bitcoins.
at blockchain.info i am able to print a paper wallet or export my keys.
when the website is down forever i am still able to retrieve my coins by importing the keys from the paper wallet to my local wallet

Give it a chance, blockchain wasn't super-duper awesome at the start either. :-) They will get there!

sure :) i will keep some coins there. but as the website went offline i recognized that the amount on my instawallet was i little bit to high for my subjective well-being :D

well sorry for not having most reliable service on this site its running on a local dev server i will do best to keep it up but was also just on a 3 wks vacation :)

ill give some mths notice before site will be brought down until then dont fear if offline for a day or two if it is you can contact me on #pool-x.eu @ freenode ..

I think this project is one of the most important going on today in the LTC universe, how can we help? (I'm not a very good programer BTW)

the source is avaible at https://github.com/g2x3k/litecoin-instawallet-simple

I came across following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught BitcoinClientException:

• : Connect error: Connection refused (111) thrown in on line 0

Does anyone knows what is causing this?

Regards

its the same error like some days ago :(

Yes, but what is this?
I still have same error!

'ts a shame I never got to use this.

whine whine whine here on the forum site been down for a wk or so, no one contacts me -.- lol well fixing it again now shuld last a wk or so.... some db corruption so restart scripts failed to take care of it and never rely on humans to tell you somethings wrong .....

downloading new blockchain just updated the litecoind shuld be all good in 5 mins ..


ps.
 Connect error: Connection refused (111) thrown in on line 0
it means what it says connection refused, means litecoind crashed and wont start until someone notify me that theres a problem ..

Hey man- thanks for the work you're doing. Despite the whining, there are those of us who appreciate it!

BTW: I was thinking of cloning the source and putting up my own LTC instawallet- just was curious to ask (I know there is an install readme) but in your personal opinion, on a scale of 1-10 how hard of an endeavor is it?

well it shuldnt be that hard .... my biggest problem atm is the litecoind itself, hint: why site is still down..... but setting it up is fairly easy is you have bit experience with apache, php & mysql

hehe ^^ yea i hope some apreciate it hadnt had my morning coffee or joint hehe :) everything much better now despite litecoind being a bitch

i said i was downloading blockchain in last post, well i was but for some reason blockchain on http://blockchain.litecoin.net/litecoin/ is not working (http://www.mpaste.com/p/FXRuM)
so redownloading the entire blockchain and messing bit around with it now but it will be up soon :)

all up and running now ..

Thanks man :) Great site! Sorry for all the whining :P We'll be sure to harass you via PM next time :)

I'm glad everything is working and not all members understand connection error! Lol!

I don't know but will it help in using secure website as https?

I'm wondering, I know there a reserved while receiving payment, is this considered as fee and is there a fee for sending payment?

I am asking this due to faqs not on website!

Regards

The Instawallet seems to be gone- anyone else connect?  :'(

it's down for me too. :'(

There were still quite a few thousand LTC on the server.

is it time to label him a scammer?

EDIT: No, the service clearly had a disclaimer that it was beta. It would be nice if coins could be returned but the risk was always clearly stated.

so if he decided to take all the coins and run because of the rise in litecoin's exchange rate, that is okay because he said it was beta?

Are you still interested in setting up your own LTC instawallet?

Of course not, but that's the risk you took by using an unstable instawallet.

+1

<g2x3k> only reason mine is down is i put on box with 1gig ram wasnt enough to compilie new litecoind
<warren> People are free to use whatever they want.
<g2x3k> have to fix havent had time -.-
<warren> g2x3k: which URL is that? 
<g2x3k> wallet.it.cx
<warren> g2x3k: OK, then I need to correct one of my posts.  Thanks.

InstaWallet's have a right to exist.  Users have the right to know the actual risk involved to make an informed decision if they want to use it or not.

I don't know since instawallet BTC got hacked, does this affect LTC as well?

InstaWallet is generally a bad idea especially when there are other web based wallets that allow you encrypt the private key locally.

I agree! Is there any other online ltc wallets?

I made a complete rewrite of the original LTC Instawallet
Welcome aboard :)

Getting warnings from AntiVirus against the site. Several different actually.. hmm

My balance is showing 0 now

stop with these shit... you're not enough to lose money ??? see the damn toork that has stolen around 100,000 -$ in other thread.

which thread?
I would be mad if I'd lost 100k usd :(

I surely would have loved all of this very important info on beta wallets B4 I got screwed.

Can anyone tell me how someone can take your BTC and keep it even though everyone knows it!?!

Beta wallet or not, It is all documented and verified, and on top of it all the person who is doing it posts that nobody will do anything about it, and nobody did, thanks everyone for verifying my theft, and thanks for none of the help from none of you.

As always FTW!

-Branzig

I got ripped for 4+ BTC Imagine if they knew where my 30,000BTC is/was. Trust me, am using it to get everyone's back!

NIN

updated to litecoin 0.6.9.2 with lower fee´s will keep the 0.1 resevation for now tho


Branzig: all the talk bout btc i think your in wrong place o.O ...

btw it says on front page
the i dont care bit is a button you press to get an account, i dont see how can make that more obevious... just incase anything shuld happen now its written here aswell for all i know i could die tommorow or something else bas could happen i cant control

site is up and running just syncing blockchain .. :)

If you have nothing to do with lost LTC it's fine ...
But if you only did that to steal  ::) ???

never stolen any coins, and would never do wtf  ?

pool-x been mining almost 1.7mill litecoins all given out as they shuld.. didnt take any fee on the first +1million only recently added a fee

Are you aware of a user named toork that forked your code and recently ended up stealing a lot of LTC?

I know you are not responsible for what someone does with your code but it sucks that someone could cause harm with code you originally created.

I personally would never recommend that anyone should store a large amount of money in an instant wallet like this. There's too many risks involved with storing funds on a potentially volatile website which could evaporate at any instant.

While it's possible for an instant wallet website to be completely legitimate, unless they use client-side signing and wallet encryption similar to Blockchain.info, it's highly risky to store a large percentage of your funds in such a wallet.

I trust g2x3k to reliably run this wallet service, and of course I do trust in my own code which was built to be relatively secure internally, but of course it is up to the operator on how to handle the users funds. The original LTC Wallet is still running at wallet.it.cx with not a single complaint of theft yet. In the case of ltc-wallet.com, it was obvious from the second toork began the investments that toork's wallet website was likely a scam, as he was offering an investment service with ridiculous returns while refusing to explaining what he was doing with the invested funds.
We have never attempted to offer such a service, we're only offering a simple instant wallet, which allows for fast, convenient withdrawal and deposits of litecoins.

This is likely because of our .it.cx domain. It is a free subdomain provided by Afraid.org, but unfortunately many run abusive sites under their subdomains, and as of such we're left with their bad reputation, despite never doing anything ourselves.
There is no malware on our site, and we do not link to any malicious websites or downloads. This is simply a false warning due to others who misuse their free .it.cx domains for malicious purposes.

strange idea to show everybody the sourcecode.
now this script is useless because everyone can use the crypting part?
