Another scam alert? So tired of reading stuff like that. Can’t you post some positive content, please? What wallet shall I use?

Maybe one which gives ONLY YOU the full control over the private keys ?

There are numerous proper wallets around.

It is relatively simple:
1) Don't use a wallet where you don't have full control over the private keys.
2) Don't use a wallet where some other party has access to the private keys.
3) Don't use a web wallet.

Download the page below as zip or PGP and run it offline.

You can not download it 'as PGP'.

When clicking on 'pgp', you are downlading the signature file to verify the downloaded .zip file.

.. using a 'dump' printer (not connected to any network, no buffer).



You can receive money if you pass on your public key, which is located on the LEFT side of your wallet.
You can see your "account balance" by entering your public key at blockchain.info.

Ich habe die aktuell nicht in Benutzung, daher keine direkte Empfehlung von mir, aber ich kenne noch die MCO Visa Karte von crypto.com. Beworben wird sie mit teilweise sehr hohen Cashbacks (z.B. 10% bei Expedia) und einem Design aus Metall.


In meinen Augen ein sau geiles Projekt! Die bieten wirklich gute Dienstleistung:

- Wallet mit aktuell 40 Coins/Token (wird ständig erweitert)
- man kann KOSTENFREI traden
- 3 verschiedene gemangete Kryptoportfolios
- Stakingfunktion mit bis zu 8 % p.a.
- Rewardsystem: kostnfrei Netflix, Spotyfi uvm, Cashback, referal system
- 5 verschiedene Karten mit unterschiedlichen Privilegien
- kostenfreie Visakarte
- kostenfreie Abhebung
[...]


Klingt ja an sich ziemlich interessant, aber für 10% Rabatt bei Expedia (max. 50$ pro Monat), muss man z.b. 5.000 MCO staken.
Das sind bei aktuell 5$ pro coin, 25.000$.

Für konstfreies Netflix, sind es 500 MCO. Immerhin auch schon 2.500$

Da gehört schon einiges an Vertrauen dazu. Ob sich das Risiko wirklich lohnt.. ich weiß ja nicht.

Aber die gratis alternative oder die mit 400$ gratis Abhebungen monatlich für 50MCO (~250$) is definitiv eine Überlegung wert.

System files & folders usually also affected because almost all users click "Yes" when UAC showed when they run malicious program.
They don't even read it, because the message is vague, unlike Android which shows list of permission.

Well.. you are right.. but in this case we are really talking about very uneducated user regarding computers and 'technical stuff'.

Unfortunately UAC can almost always be bypassed if it is not explicitly set to the highest (most secure) option, which is not default.
There are numerous ways to bypass it, some are fixed, some are not.

So this makes it even more dangerous on a computer in comparison to an android  Grin



In my case it's not. On the computer the kids have "users" and I am the admin. On the phone they can install and run a "game" and I may find out about the "surprise" much later.

But this still applies, no ?

On the computer malware could steal any data/files/etc. which the user (i.e. your kid) has access too (ignoring UAC exploits).
On an (unrooted) android the malware could only steal information in its user context (own app data) plus things possible with given permission (external storage, camera, etc..)

But accessing camera, storage, etc.. is always possible under windows. You don't even have to give permission for doing that.

One of the most dangerous things you can install on your mobile is a custom keyboard, which acts as a keylogger.
And on windows.. well.. it is not really hard to implement a keylogger.
You have about 3 different types of them:
- Via polling (GetAsyncKeyState)
- Via hooking (SetWindowsHookEx)
- Registering as input device

I mean.. hell.. there are 2 inbuilt accessible windows libraries available to create a keylogger with just a few lines of code.

If you refrain from installing a custom keyboard on an android, the chances of having a keylogger is close to zero (excluding unknown exploits), simply because an installed application has no access to the keyboard / buffer / etc.


Unfortunately this does not apply to OP's problem (clipboard hijacking), since this is readable for any application on android.

So, to get on-topic again, this also wouldn't have had him protected against this kind of malware.
I mean.. you could theoretically forbid applications to access the clipboard, but this also means you can't paste in them anymore.


I am no way saying that android is secure and windows is not.. however it is much easier to have your mobile clean than a windows computer.

But shared devices create new problems per se, whether smartphone, computer, tablet, etc.
2547  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Warning! Be careful when you copy and paste bitcoin address from Electrum wallet on: July 15, 2019, 05:03:23 PM
So I don't know how Android "reacts" when you install app from Play Store and it's stealing your data.
I mean, an app can ask for certain rights (maybe even for good reasons!) and you'll grant them; then it's free to do whatever it wants.
So no, I am not certain about the security of mobiles.

Well.. since you are giving them the permissions, that's nothing an AV software should block, unfortunately.

But the same applies to a desktop computer.
If you run an executable, it can create outgoing connections without being blocked. And if it is establishing an encrypted connection with TLS, there is nothing an AV can do to determine whether it is 'normal' or malicious traffic  Undecided

Malicious applications on a desktop computer can even do more harm than malicious apps on a mobile.
On a desktop computer, malware gains access to each file in the user context (basically everything except for system files and folders).
On an android, the malware does not get access to any data from a different application since android enforces application encapsulation. Each application is being run in a different user context.
Only data on the SD card can be accessed by any application. That's btw also the reason why one should never store sensitive data on the external memory.

But I'd not trust them, whether there's proof or not.
A bit of paranoia is necessary in this (Bitcoin) world.

The only 'one' i am completely trusting is Mr. Mathematics. He never lies.

2548  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Pre fork BTC wallet split on: July 15, 2019, 04:39:18 PM
From what I understood (and I'm far from an expert on Forkcoins), the transaction can happen on both chains without someone replaying it "manually". But you're confusing me now Tongue

Since both networks are completely separated, one entity has to explicitly relay the transaction (taken from the BCH network) to at least one BSV node.

If noone is doing this, the transaction will only be relayed in the BCH network, never reaching any BSV node and therefore also not being confirmed in the BSV network.

Around the date of the split, there was at least one person taking transactions from the one network and relaying it to the other one to create confusion. Don't know whether this is still the case.

At this point, we have a few accounts going through this procedure

And you don't believe that this is an extremely shady behavior that should not be used at all from a 'wallet' ?

Offering some kind of web wallet - Alright.
Having access to the private keys which the user don't have - Extremely risky and unnecessary, but ok. One could claim that it is the users choice.
Requiring KYC, as a 'wallet' - Absolute no-go.
Locking up funds - Absolute no-go.

Overall.. besides your service being delusional, you are showing extremely shady behavior, which every user should be aware of.

There are plenty of a few users that know how to keep their windows safe [...]

Fixed that for you  Wink



Since a big % of windoze users know / were told that windoze is not safe by default, they use to have some decent security software on.

Well but 'security software' means a single AV software.
There are plenty of AV's available for android too. TBH, i would everyone recommend to install it on their mobile.



And then social engineering (including infected e-mails or games that work only if you disable the antivirus or whatever) remain the main entry point.

That's true, unfortunately.. Any OS is prone to that.

The biggest vulnerability is not sitting inside of the software or hardware, but in front of the monitor  Cheesy



Wow, what maker? One of the reasons I gave up Samsung was the lack of updates.

Ironically.. Huawei  Grin

I know.. people can claim "uuhhh china is spying and collecting data..", to prevent such arguments:
1) there is not a single proof for them spying and
2) everyone collects data. And i feel i am less vulnerable if china has my data compared to the US

Huawei is doing a really good job at pushing out updates soon after google releases them.

Then ban all account sales and ban anyone that buys or sells accounts.

It is not prohibited. So no reason to ban the accounts.



What does not work for me is allowing sales and then tagging the buyer and seller with negative trust.

No one has to 'allow' tagging.
The trust system is not supervised by theymos or anyone else.

Quote
Negative - You think that trading with this person is high-risk.

I personally think that trading with anyone who bought his account (i.e. deceiving others into believing he is an trustworthy and/or long standing member of this community) is high-risk.

If you don't think so, you can simply ignore this specific trust rating and continue doing business with the tagged person.
It is not like the trust ratings contain "SCAMMER KEEP AWAY !1!!1!!11!one!!eleven".
They always contain the reason for the rating (i.e. account buying / selling).



Don’t you see that a buyer could have a legit lawsuit?
He could force kyc on the website. Saying that bitcointalk is practicing deception by allowing the sale of accounts and then allowing tagging.

Lol, no.

No user can force a forum to demand KYC.

Just because user X tags user Y because of Z, the forum is not liable at all. That's nonsense.



I feel this policy of allowing sales and allowing tagging of a sale could create a legal issue for the website and for the taggers .

Your feeling is wrong.

And since many smartphone manufacturers don't pay much attention to updating the OS after it's sold, and since many simply buy various Chinese smartphones (for better specs/price ratio), I'd say that an up-to-date live OS made only for this reason should still be the safest and easiest choice if one doesn't want to buy hardware wallet.

A live OS is indeed a safer option, no doubts.

I am just sick of those people claiming mobiles are enormous unsecure by definition, while they are running a windows machine on their desktop.
I'd even go that far, to claim that compromising a windows machine is way easier then compromising an android mobile (given that both systems have the same 'level' of security measurements).

Excluding all social engineering - regarding only the technical aspects - windows is more prone to being compromised due to the extreme number of vulnerabilities (found and not found ones).


Btw.. my mobile is roughly 2 years old and still receives monthly updates. About 10-14 days after google releases them.

I'd like to claim the 5 BTC offer. 

Game Protect - Get Paid did not want me to mention them in my thread. Nevertheless, IF you do successfully complete my claim then this comes from my overall amount anyway. So it's still paid from what i am owed.

Like i said in my first post, i am aware that these things don't happen over night, but the only time i have heard from you in 3 months is when i chase - and then i get a short sharp response. I would love to represent a success story for you on this forum and would gladly let everyone on here know if that turns out to be the case.

Scammed: Jenniraye88
How much: 5% of £13k, or £650

Please make the BTC payment to the address in my profile.

Thanks, and have a great day.

2554  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Pre fork BTC wallet split on: July 15, 2019, 12:51:36 PM
You can't really mess up a lot.

The most important thing is to transfer your coins from the highest to the lowest value. This means BTC first -> BCH -> ...

Afterwards, if you always send funds to an address you own, you don't have to worry about your transaction being replayed.
Even if someone is going to take your transaction and replay it to the other chain (e.g. from BCH to BSV), the coins will be sent to your address.

Such an replay attack can only be 'dangerous' if you send funds to a different person, because that person can replay the transactio and also receive funds from the other chain.
But since this is not the case here, you don't have to worry about an replay attack.



I wouldn't trust github anymore, only use the real electrum.org. There have been fakes, and I'm not sure which one is real on github.

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum is the one and only real github repository from electrum.

jesus, people, run your wallets on live version of OS to prevent all viruses.

Using a live OS does not protect you against all kind of malware (i guess you wanted to say malware, not virus).

A virus is a subcategory of malware which spreads itself automatically through a network by exploiting vulnerabilities. You probably meant to talk about malware in general.



If you dont know what live OS is you shouldn't be using crypto and for those using mobile phones for crypto purpose, well sorry a phone doesnt even come close to a computer.

You are right.
An up-to-date android mobile is more secure than a windows computer.
2556  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: insufficient funds on: July 15, 2019, 09:01:51 AM
that is, you can forget about money in this wallet? = (
0.001 in any case have to give?

No, as i have mentioned..

Create a new wallet file and use your seed to restore your wallet. Don't choose 2FA when doing so.
You will be able to spend all of your funds without paying any fee to TrustedCoin for 2FA.


You have your seed (mnemonic code; 12 words) backed up, right ?
2557  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: insufficient funds on: July 15, 2019, 08:50:22 AM
Ah.. alright. That explains it.

You have a 2FA wallet.

The second party signing your transaction is TrustedCoin. They charge a 0.001 fee for 20 transactions.
This was stated when creating a 2FA wallet.


Therefore in your transaction you are trying to send:
- 1 satoshi to some address
- 0.00064.. BTC to your change address
- 0.001 to TrustedCoin for co-signing your transactions.


You either have to pay the 0.001 for 20 credits (= co-signing 20 transactions), or you recreate your wallet without 2FA. Your mnemonic code cointains the information for 2 out of 3 private keys, which is enough to have full control over the wallet.
However, you don't have the 2FA feature then.


Your 2FA wallet basically is a 2-of-3 multisig wallet.
This means 2 out of 3 signatures are necessary.
Your wallet itself holds 1 key. And TrustedCoin holds 1 key. The 3rd key is - together with the first one you hold - 'stored' in your mnemonic code (seed).

So simply create a new wallet file without 2FA, and you will be able to spend your coins as you wish - without 2FA and their fee.
2558  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: insufficient funds on: July 15, 2019, 08:36:53 AM
0.001 BTC as a fee when 1 sat/B is chosen with 1 input and 1 output is way too high. That's somewhat weird.

Can you enter 1 sat/B as fee, click on preview and exactly report the outputs or simply share a screenshot of the preview-window ?
This might make it easier to determine the issue.
