Wrong board. Move it to the “Digital Goods” sub-board under Marketplace.

So, I guess the website is in Russian? That’s probably a important detail you should disclose. If your public is Russian, writing the news on another language won’t be really ideal. That already limits your potential buyers to a specific group of people.
10482  Local / Português (Portuguese) / Re: Nova Vulnerabilidade - Carteira Electrum sofrendo ataque DoS on: April 12, 2019, 06:12:17 PM
Correção: não é uma vulnerabilidade. Todo servidor está propenso a ataques DDoS.

Dizem que o ataque deu uma amenizada depois que os servidores começaram a bloquear certos IPs maliciosos.
10483  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How verify Electrum signature on: April 12, 2019, 05:23:47 PM
First time verifying and I think i followed the instructions correctly, double checking that this output is OK.

There is no "Bad/Invalid" and it says "good signature" and the fingerprint matches so I am guessing the difference is trivial, but i get an audit log without 2 of Thomas V's aliases:


Quote
gpg: Signature made 02/13/19 16:08:30 Central Standard Time
gpg:                using RSA key 6694D8DE7BE8EE5631BED9502BD5824B7F9470E6
~this line/alias is missing/different~
gpg: Good signature from "ThomasV <thomasv1@gmx.de>" [unknown]
~this line/alias is missing~
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 6694 D8DE 7BE8 EE56 31BE  D950 2BD5 824B 7F94 70E6
The primary key fingerprint matches and the signature returned “good”, so that’s what matters. You are fine.
10484  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Bitcoin Cash on: April 12, 2019, 12:18:01 PM
And what about Electroncash? It looks to be based on Electrum, but uses just BCH. Can I trust this program?
Blindly trust it? No.

But it's a quite safe software which is maintained by a known name in the BCH community (it's not from the original Electrum team). I've used it to "claim" my BCH before and I know many people use it to hold their BCH.
10485  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Over 25k IP addresses are involved in DDoS against Electrum servers on: April 12, 2019, 10:17:49 AM
The money is in most cases greatest motivation to make something bad, in this case to attack Electrum servers. But such an attack can only cause problems with sync, respectively preventing users from sending / receiving transactions. The fact that Electrum users are still losing funds is not because of DDoS attack, they are use versions of Electrum which are exposed to phishing message. Users from GitHub used the version 3.2.2&3.2.2.

This list of attacking IP should help, but each server owner must use it, and I see it can be set to update new bad IP every few minutes. This will make attacks less effective and ultimately result in stopping attacks.
I assume they are attacking the Electrum's servers so their malicious ones can be the only ones working. The user will try servers/close and reopen Electrum until one synchronizes (the bad one), which will give him the “please update” fake message. Obviously this only works in old versions, but the servers are the same, so we all can feel the attack.

This just increases the chances of a uninformed user getting phished.

yeah i did that already, but if i lose my Ledger, and buy a new one. How can I enter the same words on the new device? will they propose me the same list of words to choose from? that's the part i dont undertsand.
You will select “Restore configuration”, choose the words you written down in their right order and it will generate the same wallet you were using in your old  lost device.

Whats a backup seed? sorry im a newbie Tongue
Exactly what you said above. Your list of words (P.S: order matters; you need to write the exact words in the exact order).
10488  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano S - 24 Words questions on: April 12, 2019, 01:36:00 AM
Either buy a new Nano S and restore your wallet with the backup seed or just restore it directly into a wallet (e.g Electrum).

You can get the same wallet (with all your addresses and coins) just with it.
10489  Other / Off-topic / Re: How to stay safe when browsing on hotspots or public wifi on: April 12, 2019, 12:06:54 AM
Just curious but i use a chromebook for my web browsing.  Thus if i visit sites im not sure of i use it instead of my main windows computer.

But if you are not doing any transactions with crypto or loggin into bank account or email, using a basic vpn is fine already then right if using it in public wifi?

So if i use my main laptop outside, unless i know its the coffee shop wifi for sure, then always use a paid vpn to make certain of this?
Why not use the paid VPN all the time? If you already got one, just choose it over the free VPN. There are no vantages on using the free basic one.
10490  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase now has its own credit card on: April 11, 2019, 11:52:48 PM
Have they actually teamed up with VISA or just one of those card issuers like Wavecrest in the past?
I found this at the bottom of their Card's page:

Quote
This card is issued by Paysafe Financial Services Limited. Paysafe Financial Services Limited is authorised
by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011 FRN: 900015 for the issuing of the electronic money and payment instruments.
https://www.coinbase.com/card

I guess they would only be able to issue one directly from VISA if they got a banking license. Otherwise, they need some kind of middleman.
10491  Other / Off-topic / Re: How to stay safe when browsing on hotspots or public wifi on: April 11, 2019, 11:40:35 PM
What if you are using a free vpn?  
Then you must be extremely careful with it. If you are not paying for the product, then you are the product. Keep in mind that the VPN you use may see and log what you are doing or even do worst things. That's why you must somehow trust your VPN provider, and there are not many free ones you can trust.

I don't recommend using a free VPN (especially a random one). The only one that has a free plan and that I (personally) would trust is ProtonVPN.
10492  Other / Off-topic / Re: How to stay safe when browsing on hotspots or public wifi on: April 11, 2019, 10:27:58 PM
So if you use vpn, then your are safe when using public wifi no matter what?
I don't think you are always "100% safe no matter what" with anything, but there is a huge difference between using a VPN and not using it while in public wifi. You should definitely use one if you can. Without it, you are vulnerability to MITM attacks and people seeing what you are accessing.
10493  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Steps to check potential phising links on: April 11, 2019, 06:31:43 PM
For most famous redirect website, you can just add a "+" (plus symbol) at the end of the URL and you'll go to a page where it shows everything about the redirection link (the final destination, clicks, stats, etc...).

Example:

10494  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bestmixer or chipmixer? on: April 11, 2019, 06:27:30 PM
So i lose close to 6-7$ Depending on the amount i mix.

With bestmixer i lose less than 4$,and i think anonimity is much better on bestmixer,plus the unique code is really good since it gets me loyalty discounts.
Or you could just send 0.056BTC, get the 0.032BTC, 0.016BTC and 0.008BTC chip (as explained by DarkStar) and pay exactly 0BTC fees for that. Keep the change (the $6-7) and buy a beer with it, or use a different mixer just for that, donate to your charity, whatever... Smiley

But feel free to use the mixer you like the most. Cheers.

Can anyone confirm if this link is legit?  http://foggedd3mc4dr2o2.onion/  Has anyone else used it?
I sent 0.14 BTc and 3 days nothing there in my acc.No responce from support

There seem to be many links for Fog service but this one is mentioned on many review sites.
Any info from community will be appreciated
Bitcoin Fog is a confirmed scam. Their ANN thread is full of people claiming that they lost their coins: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50037.560

Unfortunately, your coins are gone.
10496  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Wallet password protected and encrypted, is it safe ? on: April 11, 2019, 12:13:13 PM
Well.. yes.. in exactly 2 cases this would be possible:

1) TomasV publishes a malicious version of electrum (would be very dumb of him - legal consequences)
2) Someone gains access to ThomasV's signing key and uploads a malicious version signed with this key.


In that case, there is no way for him to know if that’s what is happening and if ThomasV is uploading malware. I prefer to keep things simple to not complicate more in his mind (jerry sounds quite perfectionist ans that’s highly unlike to happen).

2 months with my coins stuck? No thanks.

Why people keep using web wallets with all that can happen at any time?

Move your coins to a desktop wallet, please...
10498  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Live Lost Password Issue? on: April 11, 2019, 01:50:03 AM
OP just needs to go through the “I lost my password” option to reset his Ledger Live data, and connect his Nano S again (which will ask for a new password). He absolutely doesn’t need to reinstall the Ledger Live.

I’ve been talking to him through PM and just wanted to make things clearer here.
10499  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How verify Electrum signature on: April 10, 2019, 10:51:55 PM
This just means that you haven't manually trusted ThomasV's key. The signatures are matching.

Right-click on ThomasV's name and select "Certificate"; Follow the quick steps and his "User-ID" will change from "not certified" to "certified";
Then, do the verification again and it will show a green message.
10500  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Wallet password protected and encrypted, is it safe ? on: April 10, 2019, 10:17:12 PM
HCP, has there been cases where someone downloaded electrum from the actual electrum website and gotten a fake electrum installed?  You say the other half protection is verifying the signature of the downloaded file.
No. But there are times where you think you are on the Electrum website, but you are actually at electrun.org or electrum.to or something like this. By verifying the signatures, you can always be 100% that the file is legit and that you downloaded it from the right place. Make this an obligatory step and you will never be phished for lacking attention.

Quote
But is there a chance verifying the signature of the downloaded file could give you malware/keylogger/virus?
No.
