Hi americandesi,

Are you able to access everywhere tv outside India as well? I'm also looking at the same option. Your feedback and suggestions on this would really help.

Thanks

Prabster

One of the users on this forum offered the credentials. I recharged the subscription and tried to get it to work and the tv player is timing out.
However, i understand that they (tata sky) are facing some initial hickups and i have been asked to test again sometime next week.

P.S : This is a test that am conducting using somebody else's account by recharging it from my own money.
If you need more details on the outcome next week, then i wold appreciate if you sent a tip to the address in my signature(any amount) making the amount and transaction public on this thread for records.

The amount that you contribute will go completely towards sending a small tip to the person / topup their tata sky subscription (as per their choice) who offered to help me.

Thanks,

If they were lost after you arrived in the US, it is possible the TSA might have randomly searched the luggage and taken the chips because they couldn't figure out what they were. Usually they leave a notice in the suitcase when they do this kind of thing, but not always.

Do they cut locks?

Yes they do. That is the reason, shops here in Airports sell TSA approved locks.
These locks can be opened using a master key which all TSA personnel will have. If you use those locks, they will not break it.
Else they will.!

I have had the experience.

Hello friends,

I would like to start mining the bitcoins. To start with , i need a block erupter blade and i am located in chennai. Can anyone suggest me where to buy and i dont have bitcons so i cant pay through it.

Have you made the calculations as to how much you will earn back.? If not goto http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/
I don't think you will ever be able to make ROI with a blade at this point in time unless you get it for few hundred rupees and you have free electricity.

Yes.

Does anyone know if there is a way to save a search (for BuzzDave, for example)  in a thread, and save that search as part of a watchlist - so that the thread wouldn't show up on your watchlist unless that particular person posted?

What i usually do is bookmark the last posts page of that particular person and visit only his last posts. You can do it from their profile page. (Yours is here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=129075 )

Why wait for quantum computing.?
Have you seen the NSA datacenter in Utah, USA.?

Have a look.. google it.. they have so much of abundant computing power that rumors are that they have broken SSL and VPN (client certificate authentication like Openvpn) encryption.
Am not sure if they have been successful in breaking AES 256 and probably not SHA256 though.

If they had, then probably they would have brought down bitcoin network instead of going behind SR.

That might  already have it .  who knows.

But the  Data  Center in  Utah, is  some thing only an idiot  would  build. who  builds a  data  center  in  a  middle  of a   freaking  desert and   spend  so much on cooling.  they  would  have  been  better  off   building  that center  in Alaska.

oh  the  SHA256 is a hash  function  so  it  is   reversible. AES yes  NSA  must  have  broken it a long  time  ago. with NSA its  a simple  rule  if  you cant  break it   then  get a  backdoor  installed in it.   

Their site says that their target is to break AES 256. (http://nsa.gov1.info/utah-data-center/)

And regarding the location Utah. Dude as you say it is deserted and no one ever goes to utah for pleasure... That is like a forbidden land.
Since most of Satellite FFC earth stations are located in the west coast, Utah was the most preferred location in west coast which has pretty good connectivity to Undersea fiber as well as satellite earth stations.

And moreover, they already have NSA headquarters in east coast which can take care of the rest.

Hello All,

Does anyone here has TataSky DTH with online account access.?

I need online account access for a couple of days. If you are willing to share it with me, then am willing to pay / tip you in BTC for that.
Recently, they came out with Everywhere TV to watch TV on your iOS device and i want to test if that works outside India as well.

PM me if you are interested.
Thanks,

but URL's sent via HTTPS are NOT encrypted. HTTPS encrypts data that are only sent through POST request.
In the sense, SSL encrypts only the HTTP packets and doesnot encrypt the HTTP headers (which includes URL). Hence it is called Transport Layer Security (TLS)

URL's *are* encrypted when you access a website via HTTPS. First the encrypted connection is negotiated then requests for web pages and hostnames are sent over:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/499591/are-https-urls-encrypted

This is why you've traditionally been restricted to one HTTPS domain per IP address because the host name header is sent after the SSL connection has been established. That changes with SNI of course.

URL's are logged by the user's browser and the destination server if it maintains logs. Intermediate servers can't log them because they are encrypted.

This is definitely False. If you have access to any webserver, please go through the access logs.
My statement still holds good. URLS ARE NOT ENCRYPTED IN SSL V3.0 / TLS 1.0 / 1.1

If you want to test it yourlself, then use a free tool called BURP Proxy from Port Swigger.

1) Install or RUN it on your laptop / Desktop (By default it listens on 127.0.0.1:8080)
2) Open up Firefox or any of your browser (In network connections, configure your browser to pass through this proxy 127.0.0.1:8080)
3) Now access gmail or any HTTPS site or for that matter unowallet.
4) You will see for yourself. If you want clarification, come back and post the results and i can explain it in detail.
151  Local / India / Re: UnoWallet - Instant Bitcoin Wallet on: October 28, 2013, 04:06:02 PM
Thanks to everyone for their feedback. We give below a brief description of Unowallet.

How Unowallet works?
    • When a full Unowallet url is accessed (e.g., uno-wallet.com/wallet/SomeSecretString),  the string after wallet/ is used to generate a private key in a deterministic way. The corresponding bitcoin address is then computed. Finally, the unspent outputs for that address are obtained and the balance computed. The wallet literally exists only when the url is open in the user's browser. The server never stores anything (urls/private keys/addresses) after that.

      Unowallet only allows https urls, so this string is always sent encrypted over the network. No one except your browser and our server have access to this string. Unowallet accepts any ASCII alphanumeric string of up to 50 characters. If this string is generated truly randomly, there is almost zero chance of someone guessing or bruteforcing it (see next point). [/i][/b]

    • When bare Unowallet url is visited (i.e.. uno-wallet.com/wallet or uno-wallet.com), a random 50 character string is generated automatically for the user to form a full url. Again, this string never travels over the network unencrypted. Only your browser and our server have access to this in plaintext.

      There are approximately 2298 strings of 50 alphanumeric characters. So the chance of someone guessing any url generated by our site is very low. In particular, using the birthday problem, even if we generate 2100 urls, the probability of at least one collision is only about 2-99.

      Of course, you are free to use any string after wallet/ as long as you ensure that it is hard to guess. For example, do not use a url such as uno-wallet.com/wallet/SatoshiNakamoto

    Recommended way to use unowallet:
    • Use TOR for added privacy. Our server will not know your real IP address.
    • Do not use any proxy servers to access unowallet.
    • Always access it from a secure computer (no viruses/browser extensions).
    • Always keep the url with you in a safe place. Email it to yourself if necessary.
    • Save also the private key so you are not tied to unowallet when spending funds. In fact, save the entire page, which contains all the necessary information.
    • Unowallet is designed for those people who need an instant address for receiving funds that they plan to move somewhere else soon afterwards. We do not recommend storing large amount there.

    Are my coins really safe in Unowallet?
    Although Unowallet is one of the easiest and fastest wallets to use (and its free!), it should be used only by people who have some knowledge about Bitcoin and know basic concepts of security. Several things can go wrong and cause you to lose your bitcoins.

    What can go wrong? These are some ways in which your wallet/url can be compromised:
    - Virus/trojans can capture every url you visit.
    - Browser extensions may log urls and forward to 3rd party sites (such as Google) for indexing.
    - You use an easily guessable url.
    - You use a url sent by (or shared with) someone else.
    - You use a url found from a search engine.

    We will probably not be able to help you out if you lose funds due to any of the above. Nevertheless, if such incidents happen, please do email us with details.

    How is Unowallet different from other 'instant' wallets?
    In a few ways: (1) Unowallet is entirely stateless. We do not store anything that can be used by an attacker to obtain the private key of a Unowallet address, should our site be hacked.
    (2) We also give you the private key to your address when you access a wallet (which you must save!), so you have full control of the funds in that address. (3) Unowallet transactions are 'on-chain'.

    What about passwords/2FA/etc?
    Unowallet does not support passwords or 2FA because it defeats the very purpose of url-based wallets. For those who are troubled with the "url-based-wallet" concept, we have another wallet in the beta-testing phase, called Unobase. This does authentication via OpenID using a provider such as Google/Yahoo/AOL/etc. 


    Disclaimer:
    Unowallet service is provided AS IS. This implies that we are not liable for any bitcoins you lose via Unowallet, irrespective of whether it is our fault or not.


    Am not sure if i understand correctly here when you say Unowallet only allows https urls, so this string is always sent encrypted over the network but URL's sent via HTTPS are NOT encrypted. HTTPS encrypts data that are only sent through POST request.
    In the sense, SSL encrypts only the HTTP packets and doesnot encrypt the HTTP headers (which includes URL). Hence it is called Transport Layer Security (TLS)

    URL encryption is done only during IPSEC tunneling (eg : VPN).

    The URL's are logged by user's browsers, intermediate ISP server logs and destination server logs and all the servers in between.

    Sending anything critical via the URL is a very bad idea. Part of my masters project was based on breaking the AES encryption of the users accessing secure sites within the same LAN.

    That is the reason, sites don't send user's PII (Personally Identifiable Information) using GET request (in URL).
    Don't send anything critical via the URL. Make sure you send it as POST request within the HTTP packet and not in HTTP header.

    P.S : If i have helped, then my btc address is in my signature. Tips are always welcome.

    Integration of IRC and abitsocial chat?Huh? That could be a good shot in the arm for it.

    yeh that can be done there are a lot of web based IRC clients that can be added to the site .

    That is something i will add to my to-do list. However, i won't be able to get to that anytime sooner. I have a huge list in front of me.
    Have been working on a few and crossing out some of them over the weekend. Am excited to showcase them on prod server.

    Will shortly push them from dev to prod.

    Looks like scam to me. Atleast their advertisement screams like that.

    WHY.?
    1) If they says it can be overclocked, then it should be old version blades and not new versions. Because new versions cannot be overclocked.
    2) They say, free backplane with 10+ blades. If it is old version, then backplanes are useless. Backplanes work with only new version blades.

    So either they have wrong description or they are trying to scam

    P.S : I own both old and new version of blades and hence am 100% sure of what i said above.
