But the fork, was that the purpose of the attack or accidental? Was he relying on the fact that it would be a while before anyone noticed?
Sounds to me as though mayhem was the intention.
The fork was the intention and the net-effect. They would have had to mine two of those blocks in parallel and dump them both on the network. It's such a bizarre, unknown, unidentified edge-case that I can't imagine someone stumbling across this AND figuring out how to exploit it (and to what end??). There's no monetary gain to the attacker, No monetary gain for the attacker? What if they consider monero to be a potential bitcoin killer and they have vast interest in the succes of bitcoin? and with the hike in fees to mitigate the previous attack I can only imagine that this would've cost them a pretty penny.
Same as the above |

Just made my first ever XMR purchase - 5 minutes of XMR dev time for attack mitigation and security.
Thanks, devs!!
This kind of post is such good news. Today made the coin, and community, incalculably stronger :-) Well, I also just made my first purchase, but they are locked on BTER because I can't withdraw. Very good first impression! (1) Don't buy XMR on BTER, and Too late, I just deposit some satoshis, did a market buy monero and went for withdrawal, basically a hit and run. Can someone advise me on a place where I can do a hit and run which actually works? I don't want to have them locked up somewhere online. Poloniex. I never hold funds on exchanges. I cannot create an account. The website is stuck at: https://poloniex.com/signup_validate.phpAm I under personal attack or something?  |

how come it doesnt work? i think bter make you pay a 1% fee on withdrawal so that may be the reason why you cant withdraw? maybe you're withdrawing too much? otherwise, whats the error msg?
XMR deposit is disabled 因技术维护，虚拟币充值暂停，感谢您谅解和支持。 translated: XMR deposit is disabled due to technical maintenance, the virtual currency recharge pause, thank you for your understanding and support. I'm trying to withdraw 2 digits of XMR. |

(2) if it made a great first impression, then you would not be buying them this cheap The impression came when everything else already happened. |

Why can't I withdraw monero from BTER? Anyone else got this problem?

One thing is not really clear to me and excuse me that I don't want to read all the pages of this thread.
I could not find it on the website as well.
How do I recover my private key? I got a bunch of words which is representing my private key, I wrote them down and stored them, but is there any other way to look into a file on my computer to find these words again?
edit: nevermind, I restarted the client with ./simplewallet and was asked about wallet.bin
|
|
|
|
bash: ./simplewallet: No such file or directory Type cd ~/bitmonero/build/release/src && ls -l And look if you have a simplewallet file. If you don't, it probably means the compilation went wrong. Thus start compiling again and post the errors (or pastebin the whole text). If you do have a simplewallet file, something is very wrong here. Well, today I tried to follow instructions at monero.cc again, and now everything worked! I guess the source code was bugged earlier because I did exactly the same this time: cd ~ && rm -f install_monero.sh && wget http://monero.cc/downloads/install_monero.sh && bash install_monero.sh Thanks for the help anyway |

Finally, to any hacker out there... good luck stealing my Bitcoins hahahaha  Yes, please hack the shit out of bitcoin. Kill it. Please do, don't wait 30 years. I'm serious. This shit should be totally indestructible and it pretty much looks like it actually is. |

 Tip, gebruik helemaal geen virusscanner en let op wat je doet, veel effectiever.
Ik heb jaren virusscanners gebruikt zonder ooit een melding te hebben gehad.
Hierna heb ik de virusscanner maar verwijderd.
Af en toe een malwarescan laat zien dat ik nog steeds geen virusscanner nodig heb.
Hier moet ik even op reageren, dit slaat echt helemaal nergens op. Het maakt niet uit hoeveel verstand je er van hebt, of hoe ervaren je bent. Want? Zo'n virusscanner moet je altijd hebben draaien.
Dat is een mening zonder onderbouwing Je kunt zelfs via een betrouwbare site virussen ontvangen, bijvoorbeeld door een advertentie die daar getoond wordt waarbij het advertentie netwerk is geïnfecteerd.
Als jij al die bullshit toelaat in je browser wel ja. Blijkbaar vind jij het best dat iedereen alles maar naar je toe kan slingeren en accepteer je het met ogen dicht. Een dergelijke site is dus blijkbaar toch niet te vertrouwen? Of je download een keer een nieuwe bitcoin client, en blijkt de download server te zijn gehackt...
En daar heeft men checksums voor uitgevonden zodat je kunt checken dat hetgeen je download ook echt is. Nee echt, iedereen gewoon een virusscanner blijven draaien + firewall. Ga dat alsjeblieft niet uitzetten.
Voor Windows download je de gratis Security Essentials (of defender, welke standaard in Windows 8 / 8.1 zit).
En uiteraard gebruik je een legale versie van Windows, en niet eentje die van een vage torrent afkomstig is (vol met backdoors).
En vervolgens is bewezen dat er in windows een backdoor van de NSA zitDe oplossing is opensource software. Geen closed source. Rara waarom bitcoin open source is, denk daar eerst maar eens goed over na. edit: overigens, firewalls is iets anders, die laat ik graag buiten deze discussie want daar heb ik niets op tegen.

Why would you want to use flawed money?
There can't be enough hackers trying to exploit bitcoin and attack it.
I want it to be attacked to the max.
If it still exists after that, it has proven itself.
The problem is not hackers breaking the bitcoin protocol, it is hackers stealing your bitcoins. Bitcoin is worse than other forms of payment in ths regard because the theft is instantaneous, can be fully automated, has no limitations of place, time, or amount, cannot be reversed, and the thief does not have to expose himself. Furthermore, it may be impossible even to convince the police that the coins were yours and that they were indeed stolen; and the police will probably be unable to do anything about it. It's a feature, not a bug. Now we not know all the features yet because bitcoin is in it's infancy. You should not invest more than you are willing to lose completely if everything fails. In contrast, cash theft requires the thief to physically handle the money. Bank or credit card fraud requires sending the stolen data to the thief and the thief exposing himself in order to actually complete the theft; there is then a window of several hours, at least, during which the fraudulent transfer can be blocked or reversed.
We're talking about bitcoin, I don't care about stolen candy bars either. Well maybe it sounds stupid for a lot of people, but I don't really feel sorry for people who keep thousands of dollar worth of bitcoin in a hot wallet. In my opinion you should only keep some pocket change in a hot wallet. There are ways to store bitcoins extremely secure into cold wallets. Bitcoin is speculative, we don't know and certainly we did not get used to all the features of bitcoin yet to call it safe under all circumstances we currently use for exchanging value to one another. |

2 vragen/suggesties
valt bitcoin/altcoins gestolen niet onder je inboedelverzekering? of andere soort verzekering waardoor je het altijd terug krijgt?
Het is niet leuk om grappen te maken als er iets bij iemand gestolen is. kleine tip: download kaspersky virus scanner, hij is zeer goed. (een aanrader)

Hierna heb ik de virusscanner maar verwijderd. Af en toe een malwarescan laat zien dat ik nog steeds geen virusscanner nodig heb. Vergelijk het simpel gezegd met zijwieltjes. Als je na 2 jaar nog steeds zijwieltjes hebt om te kunnen fietsen moet je je afvragen of je het uberhaupt wel moet willen. OP zegt zelf weinig met IT van doen te hebben, waarom begin je in godsnaam dan aan BTC. Zorg er dan voor dat je iemand hebt die dat goed voor je kunt regelen. |

It has probably already been discussed, but is theft really bad? I mean, most of the times it's immoral, but evolution doesn't have anything to do with morality.
In a certain way you can see it as survival of the fittest. If hackers are smart enough to steal bitcoin it sucks if it happens to you, but bitcoin also gives the opportunity to store them extremely safe, unable to hack.
If a hacker was able to crack the complete bitcoin code, he should be awarded because honest money should be more or less indestructible.
Well, if hackers actually deserve to be rewarded for stealing all our money, why should we bother about governments and banks stealing only 30% of it? If they managed to get hold of the biggest guns, they are the fittest, right?  Why would you want to use flawed money? There can't be enough hackers trying to exploit bitcoin and attack it. I want it to be attacked to the max. If it still exists after that, it has proven itself. Now we still use this inferior toilet paper shit which has proven to be flawed thousands of times. |

I watched the video yesterday. Yes, it is a very nice presentation. It's good that he avoids the exaggerated sales hype of most bitcoin enthusiasts. However it seems he has been listening from one ear only, as he barely mentions some of the problems, or omits them altogether. Like the impossibility of correcting mistakes or thefts. <snip> It has probably already been discussed, but is theft really bad?

Did you forget the sarcasm tag or are you serious? (honest question) |
