  Desafío Semanal Tanda de Penales

Es la final de la Copa del Mundo ¡y se define por penales! El guardametas del equipo contrario es tan bueno que se dice que es capaz de atajar el 99% de los tiros, así que debes afinar la puntería y meterle 5 goles. Para lograrlo, debes lanzar el dado con un multiplicador x99 (por arriba o por debajo), 5 veces (no consecutivas) y compartir la copa con todos los usuarios!

https://forum.primedice.com/topic/32399-desaf%C3%ADo-semanal-tanda-de-penales/


Se me ocurre que añadir que esas 5 veces han de ser victorias seria un dato importante

you can try to launch windows in safe mode (3 times not initiating correctly by forcing reboot upon loading starts) and go to the fix installation/windows (I'm not sure about the name at the moment)

try fixing the launch. you can TAB throught the options, so no usb port needed.

A couple of months ago, almost all my BTC were stolen from my laptop. As I was really upset about it, I decided to distance myself from the forums and everything else, but now that I've decided to come back; I want answers.

The funds have ended up here; https://www.blockchain.com/es/btc/address/1JSmxSp4ULs7bYaQEkoHjQszFcfpFQs6gP, before being separated into 2 different addresses.
Which wallet were you using to store your bitcoins?

I think there is a possibility that your coins were swept and moved to a different address within your wallet and not neccessarily that you got hacked....if it were that coins we stolen the money would not have been dormant by now and coins would not have had a money trail as mixers are well know by crypto users.....

Try your luck and check your archieved wallets your coins might be hiding there.

Electrum wallet; you can check the thread to see the version. And no, I checked every address I have ever used and the bitcoins didn't magically transfer themselves. Apart from that, I wish I had 50 BTC hidden in some address of mine  Cool

Just out of curiosity; how is that your wife is not actually on her normal sice? I'm not trying to make fun of any situation, but the only way I can imagine that is if she has an air compressor plugged into her (?)

And another thing to be said. It is your job as someone looking for a loan to prove you are not going to default/scam. So don't get pissed if everybody asks about it. It's not you the one risking the money after all
2026  Economy / Services / Re: Stolen BTC Bounty on: July 11, 2018, 10:03:09 PM
I thought about doing so, but the transaction had already 1 confirmation. I guess that the hacker thought about so Sad
2027  Economy / Services / Re: Stolen BTC Bounty on: July 11, 2018, 08:05:31 PM
Well, First of all sorry for your loss.

Please, can you tell us more about how it gets hacked, Maybe someone asked the questions already like how they got hacked etc, but I cannot read all the comments? If you can just put all the questions and answers and required info to the OP would be great.

What was the amount you lost? 53 BTC?

If you lost your bitcoins why did you left the forum?

I hope you get it back, But I don't think it will be that easy I have not heard anyone getting the hacked bitcoins back.

Also, Can you tell us whether the bitcoins was stored online or offline?

I did not loose 53, but I'm not comfortable enough to be sharing the total ammount. If at any point I have a real need to proof it, don't doubt I will. But on the meantime....

And I left the forums out of anger. I had just lost a shitload of money, meaning I couldn't be able to do some stuff I wanted, and I wasn't really on the mood of getting back working to achieve that money again

Perhaps you blacked out and your alter ego played a mean joke on you? xD lol

Seriously though, did you ever confirm if you do or do not have the infected Electrum wallet that was going around a few months back?

Hmmmm, I always dowloaded the installer and updates from the oficial website and verified signature, but I never went any further

Well, at least now I have something more to rack my brains with than when I started the day. Thanks to all of you

Edit: turns out this guy, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=698349 has a quite similar name to the one posting the list on github. I've PM'd him to talk; let's see if this is a real lead.

On the meantime, bounty is still open
2030  Economy / Services / Re: Stolen BTC Bounty on: July 11, 2018, 05:15:54 PM
Your Laptop was very likely not "hacked"

You were likely hacked.

Do some thought here... Where are your backups for the Electrum wallet stored? Is the password for that wallet similar to, or perhaps the same as any of your email accounts?

Did you store the backup file online ANYWHERE? Whether you emailed it to yourself, stuck it on Google Drive. Something like that.

Most hackers don't hack directly into your computer these days.

Most hackers are exceptional social engineers who use that to gain unauthorized access into accounts.



In my opinion, you must have had a backup to that wallet online somewhere.

It's either that, or quite obviously your "friend" stole your bitcoin dude. There is no other way around it. Sorry to say.

All backups were stored on a flash drive, so they were all offline. Neither did I store them online or on Drive/whatever. The funny fact, is taht the three walets had the same password (yeah, I know) but only one was emptied. I made sure they were different from online site ones
2031  Economy / Services / Re: Stolen BTC Bounty on: July 11, 2018, 04:22:27 PM
Can you recall the version of electrum you were using? Because I think that there was a vulnerability on old versions (patched on new ones edit:here) especially if you didn't encrypt your wallet with a password (Please tell us if it's the case).I think it's just a coincidence if it happened in your friend's house,have you dowloaded something just before opening the wallet?
I think for now it's almost impossible to recover the funds but if you give enough details of what happened someone may able to determine how the funds were stolen and maybe track the thieft.

Electrum 3.0.5. I didn't have my browser open, since there had been one vulnerability with javascript or something at the time. No new downloads at the time
2032  Economy / Services / Re: Stolen BTC Bounty on: July 11, 2018, 03:05:11 PM
Really sorry for your lose....
But how you expect anyone to help you in this ? If you really knows how BTC work you should know that no one on earth can help you retrieve your BTC back, unless  you trace your BTC to someone you know in real life, I do not thing there is any chance you get your BTC back .

That's the point, my idea is that maybe someone has seen the address where everything has ended up and knows who it belongs to; even if that might be being too lucky. Other option would be if someone was nice enough to hack the hacker Smiley

Tough luck... and sorry to bear the bad news but I'm afraid it's impossible for anyone to retrieve the funds for you, if indeed it was stolen by an unknown hijacker. And don't fall for anyone who might be able to tell you otherwise, at least, not to pay anything upfront to get it back.

The best you can do, I'd say, is to try and identify the person who stole it (are you sure no one from your family or friends did this? You did, after all, sign in via your friend's network). It could be your device was simply used by someone who guessed your password to sign and broadcast from your own Electrum?

You could also try sending messages to those addresses... in the hope that the thief might respond or negotiate some kind of return. I believe this has actually worked in the past, as long as you appeal to their sense of ego. Some people wouldn't agree with me on this though, but hackers have a certain personality that sometimes makes this possible.

Hopefully, you've already swept your device clean?

No way my friends did that, she doesn't even know how to connect her Nintendo DS to the internet. I don't think that they will ever answer, a lot of tima has passed ever since and I really doubt that. Computer was completely cleant after that. But the funny thing is that of the 3 wallets I had, only one was emptied

Was the laptop hacked, or was it stolen or physically used to send the coin to another address?

I assume it was hacked, since no one on the room had knowledge of bitcoin at the time things happened, and besides, the for obvious reasons, didn't know my password.

I may add a few more details, since I think I've been a bit vague on the OP.

I was using Electrum as my wallet, not Multi-sig since I had had a bit of an emergency and didn't have enough time to use the 2FA. I was at a friends' house, and the moment I opened my wallet to add the 2FA, I saw an outgoing transaction that had been created less than 1 minute before I opened the wallet itself.

Can you sign a message from the electrum address that originated the transaction to prove it belongs to you?

Sure I do
2033  Economy / Services / Re: Stolen BTC Bounty on: July 11, 2018, 02:06:55 PM
You're delusional. Take responsibility and grow up.

If anybody would have the skills to get those funds, they would keep them for themselves. Why send them to you? For 10%. It's ridiculous.

I won't erase this because it's the perfect example of what fits into the description of a shitty post on my last answer.

You are not providing anything useful to the discussion, and attacking me with your hurting words. Besides, it may be new for you but there is some people that are called white-hats for a reason; and that is what I'm looking for.

I already know I made a mistake by not activating the 2FA when creating the wallet, and I assume those BTC will never come back. But you never know

Why self-moderate this thread if you truly want advice and help from the public? You should leave it open to suggestions as you never can tell how the help you seek comes.

My humble take...

It's open to suggestions, even if my goal is that someone does the work, instead of me (reason for the bounty). I self moderated the topic because I'm used to doing so to avoid what I consider shitty comments/personal vendettas. I don't plan on deleting common sensed posts

It's true that the computer might be a bit old; but it doesn't prevent it from being a good one.

Yes, but with a four year old low-end graphics card that is worse than the integrated graphics on a 100$ Ryzen 2200G, an outdated CPU, it's not worth 1600 Euros.

The rgaphics card is not the best part of the computer, but it doesn't prevent me from playing PUBG/Arma 3 or other FPS at 1080 120FPS.

I call BS, PUBG is still very optimized and struggles to run at 120 FPS on more modern graphics cards. Here's an all low settings, minus view distance test with a GT 730 @ 720p. It gets around 40 FPS, or lower. Yes, you have the 4 GB variant, but if you watch the vRAM usage, it doesn't max out. A GTX 660 is better, and at 900p, only manages 60-110 frames.

If I don't specify the details of some components, is because I'm brokering the sale for a friend, who has little knowledge of the Bitcoin forums/how everything works and he wants to get it posted in as many places as possible. I've asked him a bit more, and I got the following: the RAM memory is 1300 ecc/ecx(?)  and the motherboard is a Lenovo; model unknown.

Fair enough. ECC throws a bit of a curveball, so a ECC build takes the cost up when building new to just below 1500 Euros. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/2chqbX

That's still 100€ less than your starting bid, and has a CPU that is 50% better, a GPU that's 4 times faster, 100% new parts, has higher end motherboard/PSU/fans, much faster RAM and a more expensive case.



Tell your friend that there is little to no chance he'll get 1600 + shipping for outdated hardware. If you lower the price then there might be interested, but from experience prebuilts are really hard to sell so you might want to consider parting out.

And according to you, what would a good price be for that computer? I'll see if I can have him change his mind about it though and create a new thread if I make it; since I cannot edit the one here

40 Euros for CPU
105 Euros for the motherboard
76 Euros for the RAM
32 Euros for the GPU

Buying everything else new is 426 Euros, for a total of 679 Euros.

I have to disagree with the price you have estimated for the GPU; the one you chose on ebay is not the Asus version; and I think that in terms of quality, it matters. Otherwise; I'll get in touch with him and suggest the new price. If anyone is willing to buy he/she can PM me now and once I have his updated price, I'll lock this topic; moving it to archival and create a new thread

I can build a much better build for 300 euros less; why should I buy your computer? Also, good luck gaming on a GT 730 (worse than the integrated graphics on the low end Ryzen APU). Parts are identical when possible, unless there's a cheaper and equally performing alternative (HDD), or much better (Ryzen 2700X vs Xeon E5-4620, the Ryzen is minimum 50% faster). Higher end parts were chosen when you didn't specify (Gold rated EVGA GPU, higher end overclocking motherboard, fast RAM, high end case fans). Only "worse" part is that an A400 is slower than a 850 EVO (there is NO 860 EVO in the 120GB variant) where price data was not available. This also has a 1050Ti, which is at minimum 4 times faster than a GT 730, and is on DDR4, which is the current standard of  RAM. This is also 100% new parts.

You can "scam" someone with an overpriced build on local used marketplace, but that's almost certainly not happening on a tech forum. Just because you probably paid $1600+ for your CPU doesn't mean it's worth that much today. You can even get a 16 core/32 thread processor for less than 700 Euros with faster clock speeds!

Since this is an auction, I'd be grateful if only bids were posted in the comments. Nevertheless, your comments are apreciated.

It's true that the computer might be a bit old; but it doesn't prevent it from being a good one.
