TeslaCrypt Developers Release Master Decryption Key Free of Charge

TESLACRYPT DEVELOPERS BAIL AND LEAVE DECRYPTION KEY

Considering how TeslaCrypt has been one of the most innovative – and disconcerting – types of Bitcoin ransomware to hit the Internet since February of 2015, it came as a big surprise to hear the developers have closed up shop. Moreover, they made the master decryption key publicly available to anyone and posted an apology message as well.

While it is positive to hear TeslaCrypt will not be making any more victims who are forced to pay a Bitcoin ransom, it appears the operators have set their sights on a new target. Security experts have found evidence they are turning towards CryptXXX ransomware as of late, which is another piece of malware infecting computers all over the world as of late.

Now that the master decryption key for TeslaCrypt has been leaked by the developers, everyone in the world can deal with this infection without paying a Bitcoin ransom. Moreover, the TeslaDecoder security application has been updated with this new information, and can now decrypt files encrypted by either version 3 or version 4 of the Bitcoin malware.

This reprieve will only be a short one, though, as replacing TeslaCrypt with CryptXXX is a far cry from good news for computer users. Although security experts of Kaspersky Labs have managed to outsmart its creators twice already, it may only be a matter of time until a new iteration of the ransomware makes its way to the Internet.

Whether or not we will see some of the TeslaCrypt features appear in future versions of CryptXXX remains unclear, but it is not unlikely. Despite this temporary victory over malware in general, the battle is far from over, and there are multiple Bitcoin ransomware strains still in circulation to this very day. Creating computer backups remain the top priority for everyone.

I do not think it would happen in these 4 months you mentioned. the market can not even reach 500 til now, how come would it reaches 600 before the halving ?
 maybe it will happen at the end of this year

this is not going to be the last decrease in the rates because they keep making the payout minimum higher by time! they did not even think about lowering it with these low new rates !
why people tend to be greedy ? wants to pay less money for more amount of work ?

there is no problem with the numbers. 1 bitcoin will remain the same value whether you buy it with any other currency. so why do you see their economy is not ready for btc although AFAIK zimbamwe has a big number of bicoin users in Africa

It is your fault that you had a deal with non trusted person. so do not blame bitcoin for that.
paypal chargeback help some scammers also so it is not always a positive thing

Zimbabwe’s Cash Crisis Is Bitcoin’s Boost?


A recent survey by The Zimbabwe Standard has shown that a number of banks in the central business district of the country’s capital, Harare, has long queues to withdraw cash with others running out of cash by midday.

This demand for cash is fuelled by a lack of trust in an impending introduction of bond notes by the apex Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.

Although its governor John Mangudya says the bond notes would not happen within two months, the latest development better highlights the growing need for a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin as a dependable option for users.

Why Zimbabwe banks lack credibility

This lingering cash crisis and its attendant challenges have reportedly drawn the attention of illegal foreign exchange dealers into the country to do fast business. In other cases, some bank staff allegedly take the advantage to charge clients up to 10% ‘commission’ on electronic transfers to the accounts of money changers in return for hard cash.

The main contention surrounds whether money deposited in banks would have the same value it deserves once the financial institutions will start giving bond notes.

Zimdollar fears

This skepticism hanging on investing in the bond notes had been worsened by a former finance minister’s claim that the government is trying to introduce bond notes with the aim of bringing back the rejected Zimbabwe dollar through the back door.

Tendai Biti said reintroducing the Zimdollar will be a disaster because it could be over-printed again leading to a broad money supply over the country’s GDP to make too much money chasing too few goods and ending up being dysfunctional.

When it was in use, the Zimbabwean dollar denominations rose to have a 100 trillion dollar bill becoming the note with the most zeroes of any legal tender in recorded history. The bills, which still auctions on eBay, circulated for a few months in 2009 when the country experienced one of the toughest hyperinflation in history with US$1 changing for trillions of Zimdollar.

The currency was eventually abandoned in favour of the South African rand, the US dollar and several other foreign currencies.

Would Bitcoin be a better option?

Whether Bitcoin would be a better option for the southern African state of Zimbabwe to adopt as an alternative method of payment or not has triggered an online discussion of late. The discussion is still ongoing and would possibly create greater awareness about the need to adopt Bitcoin for better safekeeping or for other profitable use.

A piece by L.S.M Kabweza suggested that reliance on Bitcoin helps with Zimbabwe’s trust problem. In a forum where there have been talks about making a hedge investment using Bitcoins, there were diverse views with suggestions of various forms of investments. However, the most prevalent consensus in view comes with buying Bitcoins itself as a safe investment.

it is good for any bitcoin related site to have some charts about the price. they are late in doing this as coindesk had it long time ago and i used to use their index for checking the price in different exchanges

If the price reaches 600 in the next few month, I think I will sell a portion of my bitcoin because I will be satisfied with a 50% profit that i will get then. And I will hold the other part waiting for more rise

bitcoin wont be the new world currency except if more people around the world start using it. the market is small now, this is true. but it will expand by time and new blood and money will enter the market

Gatecoin CEO Reveals $2 Million Loss in Hacking Incident

On Saturday, Gatecoin CEO Aurélien Menant, released a statement that details the nature of the hack and how the exchange managed to lose 15% of client’s digital currency deposits.

Gatecoin has always kept 95% of all customer funds in multi-signature cold wallets, however, the hacker managed to alter Gatecoin systems in such a way as to divert ETH deposits away from these secure cold wallets.

Aurélien Menant explained:

No, I think this will not happen because not everyone in this world has internet connection or electricity and not all people will believe in bitcoin and use it as money

What Will The Future Hold For Bitcoin Debit Cards?

Despite the growing number of Bitcoin debit card providers in the world, there are some concerns regarding using a plastic card to spend cryptocurrency. While this brings a lot of convenience to the table, it is not the same as spending Bitcoin the way it was meant to. But it sure makes it a lot easier, that much is certain.

The biggest gripe people have is that any debit card in the world is issued by a bank. Regardless of which company provides this Bitcoin debit card service to its customers, the bank is responsible for ensuring transactions can go through and payments are made in the right national currency.

However, if the issuing bank suddenly decides to halt their debit card service, the plastic cards become completely useless. The Bitcoin company providing the service can’t change that scenario, and they will have to look for a new partner. In the end, this is almost the same as giving up the financial freedom Bitcoin brings to the table in favour of convenience.

On the other hand, a Bitcoin debit card does not require merchants to accept Bitcoin payments directly, as they get paid in the same way any other credit card transaction is settled. However, they retailers pay slightly lower fees for debit card transactions compared to credit card payments, so there is a win-win situation for all parties.

Bitcoin’s Transaction Fees Skyrocket as the Bitcoin Halving Looms

Having almost tripled since last summer, Bitcoin transaction fees continue to grow. According to a new bitcoin fee estimator from Bitmain, almost 20,000 transactions are currently paying more than 35 cents for a next block confirmation. The current average fee is almost 15 cents per average bitcoin transaction size of approximately 500 bytes.

The somewhat confusing graph, due to unintuitive parameters such as satoshi per byte, illustrates no transaction is currently delayed at a fee rate of more than 60 satoshis per byte, which has to be multiplied by the average transaction size of 500 bytes, divided by 100 million satoshis into a bitcoin and the resulting fee of 0.0003 converted to usd, which, at the current price, according to google, stands at 15 cents.

lol and he would say sorry again like Justin Bieber
I do not think he is so talented to make up a new believable story.

It is impossible to manipulate the bitcoin price at all. Every market in the world must have ups and downs and this is how trading working

Should not this be in the micro earning board? As it is just a faucet with the ability of posting some content ?

Is this just a new ponzi site that claim they have projects while there is nothing in real life ? Why do not they put any photos of these projects on the site ?
