41  Other / Off-topic / Re: how do you recover files from corrupt harddrive on: July 30, 2016, 11:20:54 AM
Whatever you do, don't use the original broken drive to experiment. The more you use it, the worse it will get.

Under Linux, use ddrescue with two passes to copy the data either to a second drive (same size or bigger), or into a file.
First pass (-n) to copy all readable blocks, skipping corrupt ones to save everything that is ok.
Second pass (-r3) to retry bad blocks to attempt to rescue parts from it.
Then mount your image (eg with the ntfs-3g tools) and copy your data.

I actually have code written for exporting PMs into an mbox file compatible with Thunderbird, but I haven't gotten around yet to figuring out how best to present this functionality to users. (It's unusual because it takes a bit of time to generate and the resulting file should maybe be encrypted.)

If any established members have a strong need for it, I can manually create an export for you. For example, if you have so many PMs that the PM page is slow to load for you, you can get a PM export from me and then use the "purge PMs" feature. I'll probably only do this one time per person...
I've done something similar before (grab PM, parse, write to mbox), but it was annoying to correctly parse quotes etc so I didn't finish it.
I also had installed SMF once to take a look, and it did not seem too complex to add a few lines of PHP so it would dump the content of the PM array as XML when adding eg &export=xml to the url.
As a huge bonus you could take an additional step and sign each exported message with a public bitcointalk key so that it can be proven that they are unaltered.

earned me money? you do understand that i am just starting and all i have made is losses and most especially from having an address with large referral. A referral fee is supposed to be a one time claim on everyone the referrer brings, not continuous. I can't work with continuous. Still going to block the address after sometime because i will need to increase my referral fee soon enough. You want more referral satoshi? provide another address and bring in new faces. That's how it's supposed to be. I can't be indebted to you forever.
You have basically two options:

1. A referral commission in percent of what the referral earned. If you earn eg 3.90BTC from them through ads and pay out a 10% commission of 0.39BTC, you still keep 3.51BTC. Then there is abosutely no reason to cap the commission, unless you want to piss of your partners by looking greedy.

2. A "bounty" program where you pay for every referral who signed up under a user. If you do that blindly just based on sign-up numbers, well no surprise that it gets abused. It's easy to create hundreds of fake accounts and pile up the bounties on the main account. Tie that to a requirement, eg "bounty is only paid after the referral earned amount X".

46  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Block this address!! It already cost me 0.39BTC in just 2days :( on: April 26, 2016, 08:33:47 AM
I have paid you enough referral fee!
That's not how it works. You defined the variables of the system you are offering, and people are using it.
You cannot randomly decide who to pay and who not. If the user earns the referral fee, it means his referrals earned you money too.
If your faucet allows abuse then fix it.
That's like saying "I'm not offering my product in $country because it gets hacked there" instead of fixing the cause of the problem.
What will you do when the botters use an US based VPN? Block the USA?

And no, I'm not using your (or any other) faucet.

Cryptsy is an example why I don't trust online wallets.

I looked into it a bit and stumbled over https://github.com/yxxyun/ripple-client-desktop/releases

You can create a new address and secret key on an air-gapped system with it (and it seems you don't need the wallet.txt at all).
Plus, you can do transactions too with it, what makes you independant from a 3rd party.

If you have XRP stored with such a 3rd party, you could create a new address/key pair and transfer them there.
50  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: bitcoin and SELinux on: February 27, 2016, 09:30:19 PM
Thanks, that makes sense actually.

What does rsync do (from one directory to another on the same filesystem)?
I usually just restore the context on the target directory. I guess if you run rsync with -avAX it will preserve context too. Use ls -lZ to check.

In general it's better to have a proper setup so you can do a relabel anytime as some sort of automagic fix, instead of bothering to preserve contexts.
Some tools might not be able to do this, like zip archives (iirc, tar has an extra option).
51  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: bitcoin and SELinux on: February 27, 2016, 12:17:00 PM
And by the way...

Often problems are caused by using mv instead of cp when handling files:
Moving leaves the current context label unchanged, what might cause errors when the context conflicts with the new location.
Copying assigns new context labels to the file, based on the target directory context which gets inherited.

To fix that, either relabel the file, the tree or the entire filesystem.
52  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: bitcoin and SELinux on: February 27, 2016, 10:08:09 AM
Funny, I run SELinux in enforcing mode by default on all servers and even my desktop without any issues. Now and then there is a problem, but that can in 70-80% be solved by toggling a boolean. For a couple of cases I generated custom SE policy modules.

If you go with the standards and defaults, SELinux will rarely be a problem. However if you think you "know it better(tm)", it will kick your shin (as it is supposed to do).

Since you are "knowledgeable enough about SELinux to write such documentation" it shouldn't be any problem at all for you to provide a .te file from which others can generate the .pp

And since you don't care about the data surviving reboots, you could as well just use /dev/shm instead, which is by far faster than any SSD.

All that said, yes, it would be good if the rpm comes with a policy.
53  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ripple wallet? on: February 26, 2016, 02:02:47 PM
thanks for your answer, so if they are deactivating users wallets though where else can I store my ripples? I have them on cryptsy and would like to move them (well, if crypsty lets me to it of course Smiley)

Ripple company has strike a deal with Gatehub.net - a UK based company. Most of the users are migrating their wallets to gatehub.net. U can store your XRP with them.

U can also store your XRP on Poloniex, Bittrex and on other exchange platforms. Check the list here: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ripple/#markets

But as MtGox and Cryptsy history have shown, no exchange platform is more sure than your own desktop wallet.
Ripple trade is its official wallet. I trust it as trusting ripple. No other third party exchanges hold ripple for me. OP, if you are obsessed about the paper wallets, you can cash it out to bitcoin.
Maybe, but they require you to not only supply a phone number for verification, but also a copy of your passport or similar.
If MtGox/Cryptsy/Whatever other exchange has taught anything, it's that you do not want this sort of information in the hands of such a company.

A wallet under your personal control is the safest way to store any cryptocurrency; with every other option there is the chance that a 3rd party has control over your coins.

If it is not possible to use a standalone client to manage your XRP, it's pointless to bother about it.
54  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ripple wallet? on: February 25, 2016, 10:30:30 PM
What do you need to keep your Ripples anyway?

Is the secret key enough?

With Bitcoin, all you need is the private key to access your coins.

That said, if you don't trust online services with the safety of your XRP, can you create your own address where only you know the secret key?
55  Other / Off-topic / Re: How do I duplicate or clone an entire partition? on: February 19, 2016, 03:46:06 PM
1. Boot Clonezilla
2. Boot Knoppix and use dd
3. Run Windows in a VM on LVM and do snapshots
4. If it has to be inside Windows, take a look at Acronis Trueimage
5. Do a slow initial sync and then use Freefilesync to update

Pick one, because you only get what you pay for.

Also, be a little more precise if you want to attract interested devs:
What kind of processes?
What language?
Shell or gui tools?

Monitoring the keypress event and sending it back now and then is worth $100?
Also, "javascript.enabled" in "about:config" takes care of that logger.
58  Other / Off-topic / Re: Windows worst version for you? on: May 14, 2015, 01:19:19 PM
Worst: Microsoft Bob
Windows 2000 was pretty stable, even as desktop OS.
98/ME was crap. Windows for Workgroups dito.
What's always been (and still is) annoying as shit is that MS even blocks Admins from doing everything.
To be honest though, most problems come from users who install random crap without thinking.
Avoid headaches, use a VM for testing.

Where possible I use Linux now, where root is god.

Not an Ubuntu user myself, but on Redhat you can get vhost information by running "httpd -S"; could be "apache2ctl -S" on Ubuntu.
