History has shown that the technology and resources available to the highest echelons of power are ~10-15 years ahead of anything that is publicly known. Ex SR-71 Blackbird.

I think that even if the people running these sites use perfect opsec and are absolute mastermind geniuses, they'll probably be caught unless they can somehow find a way to do it outside of the system.

Tor is probably still useful, but also still part of the system.

What's an MITM sir? Kindly elaborate it please.
MITM is Man In The Middle (attack) it intercepts your traffics with the website and have the potential to collect the information you sent to the server.

What kind of information? Like passwords??

Like anything that you are sending to C.
A being you
B being MITM
C being your intended destination.

In your example it could also be anything that C would return to you (information) as when you login to a website when being subjected to a MITM attack, the MITM could send the same information you send to C and then forward you the information that it gets back from C until C send them (under the impression that the MTIM is you) the information they are looking for

Right, I should have clarified that as sending and receiving to/from C

I sent a message to the person that handles the faucet. As for the website, anyone is free to contribute content to the yacoin.org repo on the main yacoin github repo.

I'm hoping to have a testing version of 0.4.5 out in the next week. This will only be going out to the dev team initially though, but it should be ready for overall testing within the next month.

Cool!  I look forward to checking it out.  Smiley

edit:  wanted to say thanks for all of the hard work.  Sent a tip.  Smiley http://explorer.yacoin.org/?txnhash=9e40a9818b0bb3d3ec8ba7917f55eb15b9c638b1269af9af1edc8b831fb39e44 sent to YHJMUHKdd9628xeKuJ3vTrGZuzdX8UxBhx

Thanks!

I've been using  CAT from sampey since it was released and it works pretty well. He also provides very good and ongoing customer support.

This thread is epic fail. It was hard to buy BTC in 2011. If it wasn't I'd be kicking it in the Caribbean. <--- That's in honour of the 20th anniversary of Pulp Fiction. 

It's really easy to buy BTC now. So buy it and stop complaining.

Point me to a website where a Canadian can buy bitcoin easily from home at a relatively low markup.

Duckduckgo?

My point on this thread is it's WAY easier to buy them now than it was when you could have acquired a shit ton of them years ago. Yes...it still needs to be easier.

Would you be interested in setting up a mining contract? If not I will probably have to buy on the exchanges as well.

Thanks for asking, but naw, I think I'll continue mining and hodling everything I mine.  Shouldn't be too hard to snag 500K on Cryptsy if you're willing to spread it out over a few weeks.

OK thanks.

In other news.. I am looking to buy 500,000 YACs. Send me pm with serious offers.

A short while back I posted that I was interested in buying a megaYAC (1 million YAC), though serious offers definitely weren't what I received.  One person wanted 3x or 4x the going rate on Crypsty and BTER, and another asked for 10x higher than the going rate.

Did you get any actual serious offers to your inquiry?  I ended up just buying that amount on Cryptsy spread out over a bit of time, and then have mined another megaYAC (tm) in the meantime.

Haha, nope. I received one message from a 0 poster that I just deleted.

Is yacointalk down?  I haven't been able to get on at all today.



https://forum.yacoin.org/ works fine.  I think the yacointalk redirect that obermensch setup maybe is not working.

I noticed that some peers consistently download the same block range from my client and after some checking it looks like those guys stuck on an old version and can't get past block 431490 or somewhere around:

Code:
[
    {
        "addr" : "125.64.23.171:2685",
        "services" : "00000001",
        "lastsend" : 1412762482,
        "lastrecv" : 1412762241,
        "conntime" : 1412729043,
        "version" : 60005,
        "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.7.2/",
        "inbound" : true,
        "releasetime" : 0,
        "startingheight" : 431490,
        "banscore" : 0
    },
    {
        "addr" : "220.248.232.101:41610",
        "services" : "00000001",
        "lastsend" : 1412762503,
        "lastrecv" : 1412762503,
        "conntime" : 1412751906,
        "version" : 60005,
        "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.7.2/",
        "inbound" : true,
        "releasetime" : 0,
        "startingheight" : 431047,
        "banscore" : 0
    },
]


Now the problem is that they are burning my bandwidth and my cpu (a lot of both!).
Though I think of myself as a generous person, I think they had enough.
If someone knows na easy way to disable communications with old version peers, I will be glad to hear (I have no problems implementing simple changes in source code and rebuilding client).
Or is there any blacklist parameter I could use?


Send me a pm and I will send you a few options.

This probably just means that the dilution attack was deemed a success and now things will move to the next phase.

Satoshi wrote original client in MSVC and it was windows only for a while. Satoshi has a better chance being bill gates than jobs... though not a chance for either Wink
