Title: Re: IMPACT Post by: brendio on June 19, 2012, 01:46:27 PM Plus it seems 100 share lots have been distributed to random accounts. I'm not sure if there are from the issuer. I think it's the first example of asset spam, that is, GLBSE being spammed with worthless assets.
Title: Re: IMPACT Post by: Nefario on June 19, 2012, 02:05:24 PM These ARE from the issuers account, I'm not sure why they've been transfered, they were sent to a number accounts that were asset issuers.
Title: Re: IMPACT Post by: PsychoticBoy on June 19, 2012, 02:21:33 PM They are.
You can see the issuer by "Mail Security Issuer" Greetz Title: Re: IMPACT Post by: Nefario on June 19, 2012, 02:37:16 PM How are they getting the usernames in order to transfer the assets? I did not think usernames were public anywhere. If you have created an asset it lists your username on the asset page, but all the username can be used for is to transfer assets to their account.

Title: Re: IMPACT Post by: sunnankar on June 20, 2012, 04:37:40 AM Expensive spam.... Until issuer accounts get hacked. Usernames should not be public. Should be an alias. Title: Re: IMPACT Post by: cytokine on June 20, 2012, 04:42:01 AM Expensive spam.... Until issuer accounts get hacked. Usernames should not be public. Should be an alias. I agree. The GLBSE would be a gold-mine for a hacker. They'd have to liquidate shares quickly though and withdraw BTC, so a hack event would probably appear as a market crash. Title: Re: IMPACT Post by: OgNasty on June 20, 2012, 04:43:41 AM I only got 100. This is an outrage! >:(

That already happened with TheSeven's account which had a good number of Cognitive shares. It was traded down to something like 0.0000002. I can't believe the hacker didn't even have the heart to save him a few shares... but then again, if you're stealing in the first place...

Title: Re: IMPACT Post by: cytokine on June 20, 2012, 05:42:10 AM Cool. I don't have any other smart device other than a computer, so I installed JAuth and set it up so that *everything* requires authentication now. Whew! Glad I found this thread. I feel a lot safer now.
One newbie question left though - how do I backup the "secret sauce" that JAuth requires to do the authentication? I don't want to be locked out of my account if my hard drive crashes.

Ah nevermind, I see that I just need to re-do it, and this time make a backup of the GoogleAuth code ( and GPG that backup as well of course using my master key :) ) Title: Re: IMPACT Post by: silverfuture on June 20, 2012, 03:28:23 PM Cool.

As for assets, the P2P asset exchange (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=84362.0) which resembles Bitcoin will be awesome :) Title: Re: IMPACT Post by: Namworld on June 21, 2012, 03:26:21 AM ~~~~~~~~EMAIL REPLY~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi, Impact is mainly trading with virtual currency on vircurex like btc, litecoin,iocoin ix coins gg etc.\ I gave some shares away for free for advertise. Thanks and good luck Ralf > Hello, > > I just received 100 shares of IMPACT. Mind if I ask why you are giving > shares to me? Also, what does IMPACT do exactly? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, sometimes asking the issuer is much faster than wondering. Some guy just trading a bit on large spread small exchanges with a few bitcoins and just giving out the shares to that, it seems. Maybe he could post a thread around the forum. I'll email him about that. Title: Re: IMPACT Post by: Bitcoin Oz on June 21, 2012, 05:28:56 AM Perhaps usernames on glbse should be replaced with a public bitcoin address ? Then if the asset issuer wants to they can hold bitcoins there and its publicly auditable :D

Would be great to know that GIGAMINING or BITBOND have X weeks of dividends 'in the bank'. I don't send money to GLBSE for dividends and coupons until just before they are going to be paid, as they are extremely secure where I store them. Plus, this wouldn't work with GLBSE's BTC storage system. It is much more secure than leaving the coins in 1 wallet with 1 address. |
