Title: In light of the recent POODLE vuln, did you guys learn your lesson? Post by: Remember remember the 5th of November on October 16, 2014, 03:45:35 AM Which would be that Tor is not safe, it's not secure it's just a placebo effect, and two using web wallets, bad idea, especially if you have large amounts. But most importantly, why the hell are you guys logged in your web wallet 24/7? And why would you even view your web wallet using something as unsafe as Tor?
Every time I've used Tor, I've known my traffic was being viewed by a third party, you should assume this with or without this SSL vulnerability.

I much better solution to the person who allegedly lost 600+ bitcoin (I don't think he is telling the truth about what happened) is for him to create a blockchain.info watch only wallet with the public keys being watched, while keeping his private keys separate. He could then create and sign any TX that he needs to send outside of TOR and use blockchain.info/pushtx via TOR to broadcast any TX that he needs to broadcast via TOR

The only BTC I keep online are for spending and that would be like someone stealing my wallet from my pocket. It would suck but would not break me.

They think anonymity translates into security, but they weren't aware of how tor achieves this anonymity. It is unfortunate that they have to learn it the hard way.

They assume that their money is safe only because "bitcon transactions cannot be reversed because of the blcokchain". People do not understand that whoever has the private keys to a specific address is able to control any money that is "inside" such address.I think a lot of people did not have the "luxury" of seeing money stolen from people who did not have their bitcoin properly secured |
