Title: Re: Any Miners in NYC? Post by: terrytibbs on February 15, 2012, 02:14:53 PM Just as a friendly heads-up: remember to meet in a public place (at least the for the first trade), and make sure sure you wait for at least one confirmation to eliminate the risk of the person pulling a Finney Attack on you.

What's a Finney Attack? Sounds nasty - does it involve a knife? ;D Title: Re: Any Miners in NYC?

What's a Finney Attack? Sounds nasty - does it involve a knife? ;D As soon as you accept the 0-confirmation transaction, they broadcast the block, and that transaction takes precedence because yours wasn't included. This has only gotten worse lately, as the attacker can purchase a ton of hashing power temporarily for that one block using a service such as GPUMAX. Long story short: don't accept 0-confirmation transactions. Ever. Title: Re: Any Miners in NYC? Post by: Disposition on February 17, 2012, 01:35:30 AM No takers so far?
