I purposely constructed the title to read as it does, albeit I now noticed that I misspelled 'gonna', originally typing going, then dropped the 'g' for the 'na'.

Using the word 'who', especially twice, was meant to evoke 'Dr. Who'. another time traveler.

The device that Braxton is holding resembles a gaming card, similar to what's used for crypto mining, namely Litecoin. Think GPU.

In the OP, I was implying that Braxton was giving Captain Janeway a GPU so that she would get into Litecoin mining, hence: You're not gonna believe who got who into Litecoin mining. Not believing it because it would disrupt the Temporal Prime Directive.

Surely, you can at least give me credit for reaching into the delta quadrant of my mind so that I was able to share this with you, can't you?

Hi guys, so i wanted to know your experiences, your favorite Doctor, favorite alien, planet to visit, etc. Just let people know how much The Doctor has affected your life!!

The amount of gloating is just amazing in the comments.

I like how the site requires Javascript to read. It probably IS the pony virus.

BOSTON- Cyber criminals have infected hundreds of thousands of computers with a virus called "Pony" to steal bitcoins and other digital currencies, in the most ambitious cyber attack on virtual money uncovered so far, according to security firm Trustwave.

Trustwave said on Monday that it has found evidence that the operators of a cybercrime ring known as the Pony botnet have stolen some 85 virtual "wallets" that contained bitcoins and other types of digital currencies. The firm said it did not know how much digital currency was contained in the wallets.

"It is the first time we saw such a widespread presence of this type of malware. It was on hundreds of thousands of machines," said Ziv Mador, security research director with Chicago-based Trustwave.

Trustwave said it believes the crime ring is still operating, though it does not know who is running the group. The company said it has disrupted the servers that were controlling machines infected with Pony, but expects the group to launch more attacks on virtual currency users.

A representative for the Bitcoin Foundation, a trade group that promotes adoption of the virtual currency, advised bitcoin users to store their currency offline in a secure location to prevent cyber criminals from stealing them.

"Electronic wallet security continues to improve by leaps and bounds as hardware wallets become available and we start to see software wallets that support multi-signature transactions," said the Bitcoin Foundation's director of public affairs, Jinyoung Lee Englund.

Trustwave's discovery comes after an unrelated cyber attack that spammed bitcoin exchanges earlier this month. That attack prompted at least three online virtual currency traders to halt withdrawals, causing bitcoin's value to plunge 33 percent over three weeks.

Bitcoin is a digital currency sustained by software code written by an unknown programmer or group of programmers. It is not governed by any one company or person, and its value is determined by user demand.

People who buy digital currency can store it in virtual wallets on their own machines or with companies that offer storage and security services.

Mador said digital currency theft is still in its infancy, but that it is likely to grow. He said that digital currency buyers can protect themselves from hackers by using encrypted files.

"Most websites don't encrypt them by default, but you can turn them on," he added.

NEW OPPORTUNITY

Botnets are collections of infected computers that take orders from central "command and control" servers. The botnets steal data from compromised PCs and can also deliver other types of malware that force them to perform tasks.

This is at least the third type of fraud to surface involving digital currencies. Criminals have previously hacked into marketplaces where digital currencies are traded by exploiting security flaws in those sites, then stealing those currencies, according to Trustwave. ()

Cyber criminals have also developed botnets that force enslaved computers to create, or "mine", digital currencies, which the fraudsters then claim as their own.

Bitcoin mining is a time-consuming process in which computers perform complex math calculations. The operators of those botnets are stealing electricity and data center resources when they use compromised machines to mine digital currencies.

Trustwave in December uncovered a trove of some 2 million stolen passwords to websites including Facebook Inc, Google Inc, Twitter Inc and Yahoo Inc while probing a command and control server using a less sophisticated version of the Pony malware.

Trustwave said on Monday that the new version of Pony compromised another 600,000 website credentials.

What's up with that?

  Check out this funny parody song...  Was written by me, edited by RchGrv and sung by a hired voice (QuentinVentures- http://fiverr.com/quentinventures) .

  Mt Gox is holding 5 of my bitcoins hostage and this was a nice little release to deal with the frustration.

  Like it?

Hi all,

I would like to launch small website and have problems with my auto-deposits. I have linux based server and almost everything is coded already but when I tried download blockchain, it froze at aprox 250000th block and I dont know where should be problem. I do it via bitcoinid

I have only 2GB ram ..should this be problem ?

Is here anyone who is able help me with that ? I will tip your for help for sure

Thanks for any help in advance

No. Not if it's been overwritten. Even if the file has been deleted, subsequent use will overwrite those free blocks with new files. In a timespan of more than three years the chance seems tiny, and that is assuming you ever locate the laptop again, which seems frankly ridiculous.

Your best bet is the cloud storage.

It's more than enough lolz for some permavirgin troll to start a thread as stupid as this and then after some amount of posts have been accumulated go, "HAHA OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I TROLLED U ALL SO BAD" and show the link to all of his permavirgin friend.

It happens every day.

I don't currently believe you myself, but it doesn't invalidate anything I've said.

This site is pretty trusted and good at what they do.

The owner/people working there only take 5-10% of your wallet value when they recover it. Look there.

The owner was on reddit some time ago and helped a lot of people that same day recover some lost wallets.

What are you talkin' about? Scrypt asic's are already hashing. Maybe not next gen asics but first gen yeah plenty have been hashing all month.
