People will always go for convenience. And you cannot deny the fact that accessing that online stored passwords across all your devices is a nice feature. It's still better than having the same (weak) password everywhere, you know...
Of course, everything that's stored online is at a certain level of risk. That's why the things (websites, apps) that hold money need at least 2FA too. And the online things should not hold meaningful amount of money.
And, bottom line, clearly, keeping wallet seed anywhere online is an awful idea, the worse possible one.

If you would have been reading the sticky topic in this board you would have been seen that you cannot mine bitcoin with GPU.
This being said, your question belongs to altcoins mining.

^^ oops, I've put quote instead of code tag, sorry, I will not edit it.

De aceasta data particip si eu. Ne apropiem cu pasi repezi de concursul 500 si ma astept sa rupa gura targului cu premiile de la acela...


L-am vazut si eu cu intarziere, deja se umpluse, asa ca hotarasem sa nu amarasc si pe altii cu faptul ca il rataseram.

Thank you!
You're getting interestingly close to the 500th raffle, impressing (and thank you for all of them!)

What happens if for example you'll have 20 participants and neither of them guesses those 3 digits?

Careful, I've said sober enough, not 100% sober


Plus, you technically didn't make any prediction yet (i.e. you didn't post a code tag with your name in it and I doubt that posting the code tag with others' name is taken into account), hence you don't necessarily have to remove that post, nor wait

Are you sure it's yours??  
Can you please recheck?


OK, you've checked it 
Now you know why I wanted to make sure I'm sober enough for the job and delayed my prediction a little.

OP, please be very careful with private messages asking for help and offering help. Not all such people come with good intentions.
At least when something is discussed publicly (here), others can see and correct/warn in case of anything shady.

That's done by centralized institutions you and the merchant (have no option but to) trust. Ucy was talking about decentralized platform where transactions can be reversed.

Hello.

There's a board specific for Mycelium: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=231.0
Maybe you manage to move this there, or at least into Wallet Software (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=37.0)

However, Mycelium is usually not advised because it's closed source. But it's not a bad wallet.
If you have meaningful amount of coins, then the problem is not Mycelium, it's that you keep it in a not-secure-enough manner and you may want to consider buying a hardware wallet (I guess that setting up a cold storage is out of question, so I went for the most user friendly approach) and transfer your coins there, into safety.

I will add that if you set up a new wallet - no matter is hardware wallet or whatever - make sure it's you who generates the new seed, make sure you save/store that seed offline in multiple places, make sure you recover your wallet at least once from the seed (to make sure it's the right wallet), make sure the new seed never touches a computer/smartphone (never goes online).

You don't know what you're talking about. This would mean that anybody could reverse his transactions for no good reason. The merchants would have no reason at all to use Bitcoin, actually, it would be the opposite: they would avoid it.

Although it doesn't happen to me too often, I know very well what you're talking about!
And I hoped that someday it'll get fixed.


Thank you!
I am sure that this will be added. It's, after all, a bugfix (and, no offense, but I find this more useful than the "OP" patch).

This pretty much sums it up. However, while I do trust MJ, he may want to clear this up beyond doubt and only theymos can do that. Hence I support Pmalek point/request.
But it's really up to MJ, I think that he should ask theymos, if he considers it necessary.
Again, for me it's clear. The lack of proof of identity (i.e. signed message) was the root for disaster (if there was indeed a disaster).

"Don't trust, verify", remember? And then why trust somebody's claims, no matter who it is, if the things just don't add up?!


I love the mix of drama, conspiracy and price speculation
One thing that still looks odd is that all this shit show goes on only on Twitter. Nothing on Mastodon and nothing in here.
Another thing that must be cleared up is what was his actual "cold storage" setup.
And claiming that there's a CoinJoin in a tx that's actually clean...
...yeah, the things just don't add up. And I've got some logical explanations for this and that, still, far from enough.

I consider the hacking of 2 Twitter accounts easier than hacking into a cold storage.
The boating accident theory is also a not-too-bad idea.

Of course, its telephony can see what antennas are around in order to send SOS calls, which can be done without SIM. NSA can find out what antennas the phone was interogating and triangulate/approximate the position.

And if NSA wants to get in your devices, the old phone you start now and then to sign transactions is your smallest problem
But I don't deny it you have a point. Maybe a bit paranoid, but not too much.

Do you understand the concept of off-topic? Or I have to report so you can call that your free speech is censored?
Let me clear it up: I don't care of that theory and it's, again, off topic.


With Cloudflare I do agree. With "cannot quote" I don't. And you've put both in the same topic, although, if Cloudflare doesn't allow you in, quoting is the least of your concerns.
You've put together two topics/issues. I've answered to one. Next time be clearer.
I did quote the part I was answering to. Are you sure you've paid attention?

And in order to avoid Cloudflare kick in too often, avoid reading all the posts of a topic in one go (the "all" button); it could make your life easier.
Don't you find interesting that neither my Tor Browser, nor my non-js Firefox had any issues with Cloudflare? I had to force an "all" posts view for Clouflare to kick in.

I really don't know what was Luke-Jr setup, that's why I still have my doubts that this story is for real.

franky1 has a post in another topic which could be relevant information (if it's correct, which I don't know). There may be that some of the old/original bitcoiners may have a different view on what is cold storage and that wallet may have been exposed to his LAN, which probably got compromised.

Of course, while any minimal security measures were okay 10 years ago, anybody with a sense of reality would know that more and more security is needed with every year passing and every more dollar on the price.
