You can create a typ3 flag (violated written contract) against him. This will result in a big warning banner being displayed above all of his threads.

Visit his profile -> Click on 'trust' -> At 'negative feedback' -> click 'add a flag' -> choose the 2nd or 3rd.

You will find support for this flag, here.

Ihr transferiert dann eure Bitcoins nur ins Wallet damit sie "sicher" sind. Sofern man das so sagen kann.

Ich kann zwar nicht für asche sprechen, aber ich tue das aus diesem Grund, ja.
Handelsbörsen sind schon oft gehackt worden und werden es auch wieder in Zukunft. Better safe than sorry  Wink

Da asche jetzt auch nicht gerade ein Anfänger ist, was die Sicherheit rund um Crypto angeht, nehme ich an, dass das auch sein/ihr Grund ist.
2404  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I just had all my bitcoins stolen and I don't understand how it happened on: August 02, 2019, 07:45:22 AM
Even signatures don't guarantee anything, the MIT server where they store them could have been compromised, the people involved could have been compromised... etc

You know.. what happens if the internals of ledger get compromised ?
What if the hardware manufacturer of your computer (e.g. Intel / AMD) intentionally builds in a backdoor in your computer ?

If you really want to go THAT far, the only option is an absolute offline computer (never went / going online) in a faraday cage inside of a highly secured (talking about physical access) room.

Everything can be compromised. But you have to look at the probabilities.



This is why you want to ideally run a full client and validate your own transactions, otherwise you are basically running a webwallet.

What if the github repository of core gets compromised ? Wink

Also.. there are tons of differences between a SPV desktop client and a web wallet security-wise.


ETFbitcoin and i have already discussed this topic about one week ago:

But the web wallet has a lot more points of failure.
For example, a MitM, compromised server, DNS spoofing, etc.. Those all only apply to web wallets and not to desktop wallets.

On the other hand, there is not a single attack point which could target a desktop wallet, but not a web wallet.

~snip~
Don't forget hostile takeover by government, phishing website, malicious browser extension & people in the company went rogue.

2406  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Help needed to spend from paper wallet on: August 02, 2019, 07:31:25 AM
A paper wallet is the name given to an obsolete and unsafe method of storing bitcoin which was popular between 2011 and 2016. It works by having a single private key and bitcoin address, usually generated by a website, being printed out onto paper.

This method has a large number of downsides and should not be used.

For storage of bitcoins, a much better way accomplish what paper wallets do is to use seed phrases instead, where the user writes down 12 or 24 random words generated by their wallet.


I know the op doesn't want to bother securing it again, but think about it. What is that security worth when it could be already compromised? Ideally, a private key should never ever be seen by an electronic device.
~snip~


Wow.. i do absolutely not agree with the wiki article.
Yes, paper wallets are inconvenient.
Yes, you have to be careful when using paper wallets.

But calling them unsafe and obsolete per se is wrong IMO.


However, i agree with you that one shouldn't continue using the same private key after entering it into an electronic device.


@OP, paper wallets are meant to be cold storage (i.e. never touching online device).
A better alternative would be to create a second paper wallet (if you still want to use them; of course in a safe and secure way) and send the change from your first, to your second one.
2407  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Problems with Ledger Live and Ubuntu on: August 02, 2019, 07:25:57 AM
is this what you were talking about?

Yes.

Since you are already in the plugdev group (ubuntu creates it upon installation and adds the initial user account into it; other distros don't), you can skip step 1 and continue with step 2 of the guide from ledger.com.

Enter this command:
Code:
wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LedgerHQ/udev-rules/master/add_udev_rules.sh | sudo bash

This command downloads the script from ledger's github and pipes it into bash (i.e. executes it).

Your OS does not know yet how to handle this unknown USB device you are plugging in.
That's what the udev rules are for.


Afterwards ledger live (and electrum or any other wallet) should be able to connect to your nano s.  Smiley
2408  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Problems with Ledger Live and Ubuntu on: August 01, 2019, 01:36:11 PM
This is most probably a permission issue.

Run the following commands to give your user permission to read/write these folder (it seems that currently only root can):

Code:
sudo chmod -R 700 /home/USERNAME/.config/Ledger\ Live
sudo chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME /home/USERNAME/.config/Ledger\ Live

Replace 'USERNAME' with your username and the backslash is intended (to tell the command line that the next space is part of the folder name and not a command seperator).


Then try it again, please.
2409  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Problems with Ledger Live and Ubuntu on: August 01, 2019, 01:02:42 PM
Let me explain what happens in my case: I do am able to open the application, but just by terminal, using this line of command:

Code:
sudo ./NameOfFile.AppImage

which of course I took from this topic some answers ago.

Now, what I can't do is just double click on the icon and launch the application, or press enter or right-click and run whatever.

You could also try to open the file without sudo (within the command line).
If you get permission denied (or similar), then the above proposed commands (chown and chmod) will fix it.



And no: I didn't install with sudo. I don't even know what install means in this case: it looks like one of those .dmg application where you never really have and installation: the icon just sits on the folder and anytime you want to open it it looks like a new start ..

Yes, that was my mistake.
.AppImage files come with all dependencies and are ready to be run without installation.

I assume the file is owned by root (not sure why tho) and therefore you can't open it with your regular user.
2410  Local / Anfänger und Hilfe / Re: Vorhersage mit Google-Suchvolumen on: August 01, 2019, 11:13:13 AM
Fakt ist, dass man zwischen Preis und Suchvolumen eine Verbindung sieht.

Das stimmt zwar, aber Korrelation bedeutet nicht gleich Kausalität.

Es ist zwar an sich interessant, aber ohne zu wissen wie stark sie korrelieren und ohne zu wissen ob die Suchanfragen den Preis oder der Preis die Suchanfragen beeinflusst, ist es ziemlich nutzlos aus Investmentsicht.



da haben viele haus, hof und frau verloren Smiley

Dann sind sie aber alle selber Schuld  Wink
Überall liest und hört man, dass man nicht mehr investieren sollte als man auch bereit ist zu verlieren.
2411  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Live Problem on Windows on: August 01, 2019, 10:58:25 AM
The hardest thing to do in a Ledger Nano S is to double-check it while it's moving. You know I would like to get everything right with the letters but it's hard when it's constantly changing lol.

Well, you don't need to check every single letter.  Checking the first 4-5 and the last 4-5 is enough.

Just look at the address you want to send the funds to before giving the nano s the TX to sign, remember the first few chars, then send it to your nano s and check the first few letters whether they match.
When they have moved off the screen, look at the address on your PC again and remember the last few. Then wait for them to appear on your nano s.
Works good for me.



Anyway, is that how they check the authenticity of the device as well? Connecting to their own server?

The nano s checks the integrity of the firmware upon installing it by verifying its signature.
Each firmware package/update is signed by ledger. No connection to the server is necessary for this verification process.

Additionally the signature of each app is verified upon starting it.
If you start an application which is not signed by ledger, you'll get a 'non genuine app' warning on its screen.
2412  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Live Problem on Windows on: August 01, 2019, 09:29:13 AM
Is that the only way to do it and has there ever been an incident similar to the Electrum phishing attacks on the Ledger Live app?

Ledger live does not connect to random server, but to their own server.
A phishing attack like the one using malicious electrum server is not possible.

Even when, the only way for a malicious application to get your coins, is if you manually confirm a transaction to the attackers address.

If you double check the address and amount of each outgoing transactions, you won't lose your funds.



Is the newest version always available here: https://shop.ledger.com/pages/ledger-live ?

Should be, most probably.

But you can download the newest (or older) version(s) from their github: https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-live-desktop/releases.
2413  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Problems with Ledger Live and Ubuntu on: August 01, 2019, 08:30:57 AM
when I run the ledger-live.AppImage on Ubuntu LIVE it works by just enabling the "run as application" with the right-click on properties and then double click on the icon, BUT once I installed ubuntu (19.04) on the hard drive (ssd) alongside win 7 it won't open anymore UNLESS I perform a sudo command from terminal ..

With live-distros you are mostly logged in as the root user.
And after installing it, a standard user has been created.


Now, am i right assuming that you can't open it at all ?
If so, i guess the permissions aren't correctly set (did you download/install it with sudo ?)
Navigate (via terminal) into the folder where the appimage is located, then enter these 2 commands:

Code:
sudo chown USERNAME:USERNAME NameOfFile.AppImage
chmod 554 NameOfFile.AppImage

Try to open it afterwards without sudo (preferably via the terminal, to see any error output). If it works, it also works via right-click.



If, on the other side, you can open it.. but can't access you ledger (when opening without root), then i'd assume you didn't add the udev-rules ?
Without them, your standard user is not allowed to access USB devices (more specifically, the ledger device).
In this case, you need to adjust them.

Look at https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005165269-Fix-connection-issues under 'Linux' for a How-to.
2414  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Help needed to spend from paper wallet on: August 01, 2019, 08:19:21 AM
What you don't spend remains in there, i don't see the point of this "returning part".

He is referring to the change.

You can't just send as much as you want. You can only consume complete UTXO's.
A standard transactions has 1 input and 2 outputs.

And in OP's case it would be 1/2/3 inputs (depending on the UTXO's) and 3 outputs (0.002, 0.0005 and the change).


@OP
The easiest way would probably to use electrum.
Make sure to download it ONLY from https://electrum.org/. And preferably verify the signature, there is a small guide on electrum.org.

Afterwards create a new wallet by importing the private key.
Then in the menu, click 'Tools -> Pay to many'.
Enter the two addresses you want to send the funds to, with the proper amount as mentioned in the pop-up, adjust the fee.

-> Click on 'Preview' and check the outputs.
You should have 3 outputs (The 2 you want to send funds to, and one should be the same address as the one you are sending from with the amount of [BalanceOfInput - output1 - output2 - fee]).

If everything is correct -> sign -> broadcast.

User was online few moments ago(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=505835) but they didn't say anything. Not only that, account was online few days ago, after multicoingames said they sent them funds.
Their silence is quite strange, isn't it?

That's indeed strange.

I have messaged the user. Let's see what (or whether) he/she replies.
2416  Economy / Services / Re: [FULL] ChipMixer Signature Campaign | Sr Member+ | Up to 0.0375 BTC/w on: August 01, 2019, 07:19:09 AM
I do agree that the certain people should be removed from this campaign. Bob123 for example has admitted to intentionally deceiving someone in order to cause harm to the person by exposing what he knew was secret information. Chipmixer has a business model that relies upon their customers trusting them with confidential information (the link between the inputs and outputs), and I don’t see why anyone would trust Chipmixer to do this if they are paying someone like bob to advertise for them

I am starting to get annoyed by your attempts to discredit me as well as damaging my reputation.
How many threads did you hijack with your baseless claims already? 4 ?

Unfortunately it seems that in order to not get discredited by you, i have to answer in each of them.
Let's make this short:

1. I did not expose secret or confidential information.
2. The seller was offering hacked accounts.
3. This - admittedly unethical - action has lead to 2 accounts being returned to their original owner, preventing damage to the buyer of the accounts and (more importantly) the legitimate and original owner of them.

If you want to call 'returning hacked accounts back to the original owner by deceiving the hacker/seller' as intentionally causing harm.. then this is your point of view.

But stop posting some baseless claims - completely out of context - in threads not dedicated to this topic.

I do understand, that you - as #4 of the least trusted members here and an account farmer / seller - hate me with your full passion.
However.. if you still have something to say regarding this topic, use the two threads already existing.
2417  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: Mycelium gear API scam?! on: July 31, 2019, 01:11:44 PM
Now I need to find out how to make electrum load more than 2500 addresses there...


To generate 2500 addresses, type the following in the console (View -> Show console):

Code:
for x in range (0, 2500): wallet.create_new_address(False)

The execution might take a few seconds.
The syncing process (for 2500 addresses) afterwards might take up to a minute.
2418  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I just had all my bitcoins stolen and I don't understand how it happened on: July 31, 2019, 12:56:21 PM
To be honest this technique would have even caught me off guard if presented with it. I mean not everyone usually checks the link before downloading [...]

Well.. then you should reconsider your security measurements.

You should never download anything without double-checking the URL.
And additionally you also should never install sensitive software (e.g. wallet software) without verifying the signature.

There are tons of guides available how to verify the signature. It is even mentioned on electrum.org.
2419  Economy / Reputation / Re: Bounty cheater on: July 31, 2019, 12:52:41 PM
JohhnyUA joined signature campaign on 27.07.2018 17:16:32
and my "alt", Kvanko joined on 12.08.2018 12:00:35

Yep, that's how it going, after 16 days. simultaneously

~snip~

Also, again: i joined signature campaign on 8/11/17 but my "alt" with his twitter joined only at 27/11/17 . If it was really my alt, what disturbed me to join signature and twitter at the same day, with BOTH twitter account and with BOTH bitcointalk accounts?

~snip~

Again, johhnyUA joined 24.08.2017
And his "alt" joined 2 days before, at 22.08.2017

Let's say it again simultaneously. And fun fact: first was "alt" and only then - "main".

~snip~

Again, one joined in one time, and another joined after 60 people. simultaneously

~snip~

As you see, KTChampion is a liar, it all was not simultaneously, and of course it's not looks like a man with two accounts. .


OP did not claim that both accounts joined them simultaneously, but that they participated (i.e. were enrolled in them) simultaneously.
And this is the case here.



At second, there no merit trade, there no trust inclusion (it's easy to make your alt to inculde you in his trust list, it makes you closer to DT1), there

What has the absence of merit- and trust-abuse to do with the fact that both joined the same campaign ?

Also.. if it is your friend, why don't you trust him ?
I would trust my friends without any doubt. The only case where i wouldn't trust my friends account were if there would be no friend and it would be my alt, to not create a link between them.



Half of DNT tokens had been sent back and "alt" sold his part while "main" keeps it to nowadays (yep, that's how main and alt accounts act)

As far as i can see:

(Jul-28-2017 05:35:37 PM): Kvanko received 127 OAX to 0xAc54207e1C318E2eFaE59e9B46D37Eba622617Fb.
(Aug-02-2017 06:02:09 AM): johhnyUA received 7500 DNT to 0x6350632F0c38eF922EA2Eea20006779724eF0858.

(Aug-21-2017 02:27:53 PM and 02:28:37 PM): johhnyUA sent 2 transactions (3.745 DNT each) to 0xf7ebcdb4574535e832093a92506ee3e872a12f1b. This is a deposit address of liqui.io.
(Sep-07-2017 03:05:14 PM): Kvanko sent 127 OAX to the same deposit address of liqui.io.
(Sep-29-2017 09:20:26 AM): Kvanko withdrew 157 OAX to 0xAc54207e1C318E2eFaE59e9B46D37Eba622617Fb.
(Oct-26-2017 09:11:33 AM): johhnyUA withdrew 3700 DNT to 0x917883861902ec2646b22e4c8b4bf0165f474cc9.


Given the timeline of the deposits and withdrawals, your story doesn't make sense.
2420  Other / Meta / Re: The Russian locale needs a global moderator on: July 31, 2019, 08:12:56 AM
What would be the benefit of a global moderator for the russian section ?

korner was abusing the trust/flag system and didn't only tag user of the russian community.
Neither did he do any harm to anyones reputation. This account was used for worthless spam, no one cares about his flags/ratings.


Which problems could a global moderator solve, which can't be solved by a local moderator regarding the russian language and mentality ?

Global moderator have moderation rights on the whole forum. The russian language and mentality doesn't play any role on the english section of the forum.
Neither does it play a role when violating forum rules which lead to bans.



So, which 'questions' are you referring to who need a global moderator to be solved, with the following statement ?

I think that to solve some questions requires knowledge of the Russian language and understanding of our mentality.
