Your new material is even more factually flawed than your previous stuff - but keep trying.

Note that if you don't understand how to install a VM you should do some research about that before even considering installing software that requires root privileges.

Note also that a firewall is not going to help you if you have already opened up a port and have software running with root privileges.

This tiresome troll seems to be running out of ammunition (just repeating insults now).

Maybe you should work a bit harder at it.

Installing software that needs root privileges is never recommended - the trolls here are at least helping us to get this message out.

If you have installed such software and are worried about any possible issues you would be best to back up any sensitive files that you have and then re-install your OS.

If you are thinking of installing such software then use a VM to "sandbox" it in.

What's interesting is that if the IOTA crowd spent as much effort on coding as they do on trolling then arguably we wouldn't even be discussing about the dangers of installing it.

My, my what lovely sorts of people this IOTA project attracts to itself. 

Warning: If you have installed this software and given it root privileges you should consider the OS as being at risk of attack.

Again we get another troll bump.

Keep up the good work guys.

Warning: IOTA is insecure poorly written software and should be assumed to be a back-door (or worse).

Thanks again to our bumping troll we can be sure that everyone on this forum will learn that IOTA has been so poorly coded that you would be at risk of being back-doored were you to install and run it (my advice would be simply not to do that at all).

Thankfully we can use trolls as an effective way to keep bumping a topic up.

Warning: Do not run IOTA unless you are running it in a VM or risk your OS being attacked.

(and if you are a non-investor then maybe you should consider really becoming a non-investor)

It should be noted that having a daemon running with root privileges could result in the OS being attacked (especially when the software is of such poor/prototype quality).

Those that decide they are going to run this software would be advised to at least run the software in a VM for their own protection.

Yup - pathetic ad-homs are about all you lot have isn't it.

(we know for certain that you don't have any decent software)

Congratulations - it would be pretty certain to say that you spent more time finding that image to make fun of me than @CfB did on the security of his software (maybe he should hire you as his security expert).

Also - thanks for the bump (the "non-investors" should be aware of exactly what they are involved with so the trolling only helps).

Apparently because "security is a PITA".

(we can see now why he didn't want to come clean)

Also apparently a "reference implementation" (in Belarus at least) is a "poorly written piece of insecure code" (most other people would probably use the word "prototype" instead).

Hopefully the software isn't some sort of back door that the suckers have installed with root privileges.

So you have disabled the security *on purpose* because of your poor coding skills.



Thanks for admitting to everyone that you are a "coding clown".

(and it was you who derailed this topic in the first place - feel free to defend your poor coding skills in the new topic I created just for this purpose)

I'm now sober?

Strange how you keep changing between saying that I am drunk or not.

(you should probably try and be more consistent)

Sorry - that is just rubbish.

You do not create seriously *dangerous software* (and that is why Linux prevents non-root users from running daemons with ports less than 1025) for any purpose other than a bad one.

So either @CfB is incompetent (should have used a port >= 1025 or at least put that in a config file) or he is malicious (trying to control peoples computers as "root").

Take your pick.

Good - I've got you here as well - it is nice to see all the scammers in the one topic.

(you still can't answer the OP question though can you)

The above sentence doesn't even make sense.

Perhaps you need to learn English or computer science before posting again?

Further idiotic posts from an obvious shill.

When you don't understand the first thing about the internet why on earth would you invest your money with an unprofessional software developer who claims that "ternary logic" is some sort of "magic mist"?

Seriously - have you heard of files such as /etc/ssh/sshd.config or are you entirely ignorant?

(and if you're entirely ignorant then why on earth are you investing your money in something that you don't understand?)

Also Facebook uses HTTP idiot (so your comparison is retarded as it to be expected from a shill who knows nothing).

(and no I don't see any reason to be nice or polite to obvious shills of a scam coin such as yourself)

Aha - and what has @CfB written that is equivalent to Facebook?

(don't tell me that IOTA is as even the first version of Facebook was much better written than that crap)
