Title: Re: I made a service to let you know if your computers is unsafe for bitcoins Post by: luv2drnkbr on April 10, 2014, 02:22:44 AM Guys don't click, its a wallet stealer Somehow I figured that even before I opened the thread. Still, that means his service does exactly what he claims... Title: Re: I made a service to let you know if your computers is unsafe for bitcoins Post by: NLNico on April 10, 2014, 02:29:17 AM I'm not sure but I think all you can do here is say "email/sms me when money got moven out of bitcoin address x". So how is this a wallet stealer? Sounds like cool service.
Everyone who uses bitcoin should follow some basic security measures like disabling JavaScript by default (NoScript for FF) and obviously disable Flash/Java/etc. So I do recommend to only open links on bitcointalk if you have basic security measures like that. I always recommend reading this for a start: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet_Security_Dos_and_Don%27ts_(Windows) (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet_Security_Dos_and_Don%27ts_(Windows)) Title: Re: I made a service to let you know if your computers is unsafe for bitcoins Post by: bitpop on April 10, 2014, 02:30:46 AM Cool service. I wonder how you provide a decoy wallet

You'll have to do more to gain trust I won't be using your service until its proven to be trustworthy Forum post from newbie account won't do it, no thanks . I will assume its a scam. Just the way it has become Title: Re: I made a service to let you know if your computers is unsafe for bitcoins Post by: bitpop on April 10, 2014, 03:00:45 AM Be cautious, but all he can take is the bait money and not even that if you make your own wallet. I'm all for being paranoid but this seems legit. He just can't steal from you.
What I find true of people who are too cautious, is they end up getting scammed much bigger. Eg. Pirate, gox, etc. Title: Re: I made a service to let you know if your computers is unsafe for bitcoins Post by: hello_good_sir on April 10, 2014, 03:25:48 AM You load the wallet with a small amount of money that you can afford to lose (e.g. $10). In two years this amount of bitcoin will be worth $1000. Honeypots are a good idea, but you need to continually reassess how much you are keeping in yours.

interesting service. Title: Re: I made a service to let you know if your computers is unsafe for bitcoins Post by: Pente on May 27, 2014, 08:45:47 PM What filenames and locations would malware check? As in a good list of the most popular files used.
I thought about just creating a file named bitcoin.txt on my desktop, put a public & private address into it and send a couple dollars worth of bitcoin to it. Then create a small script to have my computer check that address when I turn it on. It would be cool to create a few other target files that could also contain the same address & private key.
