Makes you wonder if the recent SV idea was nothing more than a money maker for the storm that lay's ahead. https://www.scribd.com/document/396421275/2018-12-27-Bitcoin-OrderQuite a sick thing to do contacting the family then attempting to rouse them into some kind of deal to pass over the rights or files to parts of the bitcoin system? The ATO provided Ira with three deeds, each titled “IP Deed of Assignment” and each executed on September 15, 2013. Intellectual property rights from an Australian company named “DeMorgan Ltd” to three separate Australian entities: Coin-Exch Pty, Ltd., Hotwire Preemptive Intelligence Pty, Ltd., and Cloudcroft Pty, Ltd. The deeds described the source and nature of the IP as consisting of “source code, algorithms and patentable materials that have been obtained by Craig . . . through the following On April 22, 2014, Ira confronted Craig about the documents he had received from the ATO via email. Ira told Craig that after reviewing the documents sent to him by the ATO, he “felt like there [were] questionable discrepancies in the contracts between [Craig] and W&K such as Dave’s signatures, his resignation, transfer of all accountable value.” Craig responded that his actions were taken “to make sure that the court signed off on what Dave and [he] planned,” and Craig then promised Ira that the Estate could be paid what was owed to it.

This latest hack is particularly disturbing and it scared the crap out of me. Hard to trust anything you download anymore.
it has never been hard and it will never be hard only if you know what you are doing! in this case it is a very simple matter of understanding what PGP means and how it works. so even if you by any chance download a fake wallet, knowing how PGP works you try verifying its signature and when it fails you simply don't trust or install it! understanding PGP means knowing how to verify signatures and more importantly understanding the concept of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust so that you don't naively trust any public key you see. It didn't require a fake wallet - it happened with the official PGP signed wallet. The message appeared on the legit wallet but it was just text. It was harmless. Only people who reacted to it by downloading the software linked in the text and not verifying that software suffered losses. So the real electrum didn't steal from them. It was the fake software that people went out of their way to download and use. Yes we all know this - it has been stated a number of times before. Indeed the Official Electrum displayed an update notice and link, to a verified github, that when installed, meant you lost your Bitcoins ... and literally millions of dollars of Bitcoins have been lost due to people trusting that messages posted by the official Electrum wallet would be valid ... have to agree with kano on this one this is a serious flaw in the official software that allowed attackers to perform this. The fact is there was no protection on for users to stop the messages being shown all be it in a somewhat official looking manner. As kano stated the feature is not like the old alert system in core that required keys before alert messages could be sent to the network. Just out of curiosity what was the intended use for it in Electrum?

Best way to look at this from a noob point of view should be If you own only 0.1 BTC then no more than 2% of the world's population can own more BTC than you. When people come to understand the underlying aspects of bitcoin I think we will see further adoption.

https://www.qubes-os.org/Qubes OS is a security-oriented operating system (OS). The OS is the software that runs all the other programs on a computer. Some examples of popular OSes are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Android, and iOS. Qubes is free and open-source software (FOSS). This means that everyone is free to use, copy, and change the software in any way. It also means that the source code is openly available so others can contribute to and audit it. ** Well worth a look at if your wanting to take OS security and privacy seriously. I have been testing this for a few months now and it seems like a very nice solution for multiple wallet installs if you are unsure of the authors code the vm's in this cannot interact thus allowing for a more secure enviro to work in or store coins. Good suggestion. I believe Peter Todd is a Qubes user, and swears by it. Although, it will require you to install it in a high-end computer. I have it installed on a few Lenovo Thinkpad's 8GB ram and SSD runs perfect thought I would have to say at setup don't select the auto setup or you will end up with about 10 pre-set VM's as a default. The other advantage of this OS is the fact it runs direct via Whonix gateways and is extremely secure way to operate. Never knew Peter was a user of Qubes interesting,

looks like another 50 LTC was donated to the pools address from someone mining with a M address on the 27th and on the 28th
this site really needs to be updated to accept M addresses or some warning needs to be put in to keep people from using them.
I got no reply from the op now going on 2 month since I sent a message about the issues. Starting to wonder if the OP is still here.

OP what do you expect to come of this?
I think this topic has run it's course without some formal proofs.

Another reason for Full-Validation, Was only a matter of time before the the servers became a point of attack.

This is very interesting project I have some skills with the Xband (10ghz) band and microwave links so this might be something I can actually throw some value towards.
I might give this a shot on the Telstar 11N Sat.

Quantum has a long way to go before you need to start to worry about this playing out IRL.
They are still trying to work out the qubit's and the size of the machines fill rooms so no need to panic yet.

hello guys please take care dont invest in https://coinnet.info/its BIG SCAMMER mining bitcoin. its promise 300% and 500% but when you start invest .their Agent give promise and profit. but need to pay miner fee. after pay miner fee..their up profit then told you pay gain miner fee.if want payout when you pay..thier agent create new story ask you pay miner fee.. AT LAST YOU JUST PAY ONLY BUT PROFIT CANT GET JUST SEE FIGURE ONLY COINNET.INFO BIG SCAMMERRSS First warning would be the fact they offer 300-500% that alone should make you walk away. This is also in the wrong section. You should have posted this in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

Have this James sign a message with one of Satoshi's addresses or just stop posting this crap and lock the thread. Waste of time and space.
Agreed. No Sig = No Satoshi. Talk is cheap, Actions speak louder than words.

Thanks a lot for all. But not works Can someone send me a virtual machine already configated to compile (for windows) a fork of litecoin 0.8.7.5 Or can you compile me in (for windows setup) and send me the package? ( Send me via WeTransfer ) Thank you This is a very bad idea. Someone could modify the code and send you virus files.

I had a quick search about for similar things that might be good reference points to create a system for this purpose. I found this email that has something interesting in it. https://mailing-list-archive.cryptoanarchy.wiki/archive/1995/09/b15b1c8ebf07eff21cc1f67e7002a4a47c90d635e234bd863352ab37b36cbbe5/7. National Semiconductor's "Commercial Cryptography Ideas for Success" (9 pp. of large type) This contains graphics of the CAKE program and a "Proposed NIST Escrow Certificate Heirarchy" which cannot be easily distributed by us, so we offer this by fax. There was also some relation to the idea of. You could use a trusted parties. p then incorporate a threshold scheme or signature structure in order to hide the key (k) to your encrypted message enck(M). Whenever you don't update those trusted parties, after (t) time, they can connect to each other and if they reach the threshold or can sign with the correct signatures it then releases the key k p(k)~enck(M)~(t) https://faculty.nps.edu/dedennin/publications/Descriptions%20of%20Key%20Escrow%20Systems.htmanother good reference for descriptions of Key Escrow systems.
