The only reason there are not more linux exploits out there is because of the very low percentage of people using it. As it gains popularity expect more trouble.
Security risks are always at the user level when questionable attachments are opened and suspect software installed.

No operating system is immune to browser exploits.

Thanks so much Ursay. I'm running the new build now and letting it sync from scratch.

I'm disappointed the linux builds were no where to be found.

What happened to the deb ppa? No longer supported? Why was the website and ANN not updated?

This may cost me two months minting for nothing.

I use Chromium --incognito with only the basic and well known addons activated. In addition I use Firejail to further insulate my linux OS. In addition I pay for a well known vpn service.

This browser is used ONLY for logins to email, exchanges, banking, and storage. Any other activity is done with other browsers.

2FA on everything including email. Sms if its offered. Gmail and Zoho have excellent sms verification.

Virus scan is done daily with ClamAV.

Bleachbit is ran regularly to further purge temp files, cookies, and such.

I've not had an issue today.

Thanks for the comments thus far.

Nice of you to say but I'm not nearly as smart as I like to think I am.

I went to blockchain with torbrowser and it does redirect to the onion address with the same sign. Why it thought I was using tor earlier is a mystery and I guess we can write it off as a glitch.

Glitches regarding my money make me nervous though. I'll keep my eye on blockchain for a bit before I restock.

I was not worried about myself being hacked. I never logged in. A hacker would have been disappointed with a two dollar score. 

I was concerned the website was compromised.

It may work perfectly now but something was amiss a few hours ago.

Someone in another thread reported the same thing. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=946839.msg10370495#msg10370495

I was not using Tor. I double checked the address and security and all was well. I did nothing out of the ordinary.

I hope the dev can look at the linux 64 bit wallet when he gets a chance. It is not the 1.14 version but was upgraded to 1.12 about the same time as the windows version.

Like I said earlier it says its minting but I have not received any coins in two months nor does it show the stake. We are still on the 20 day cycle, yes?

Went to check my wallet at blockchain.info earlier and it was trying to redirect me to an onion address. There was also this sign:


I have not accessed blockchain for some time and was a little surprised. I did NOT try to login via tor at that addy.

Now everything is back to normal with no redirect to the onion address and I see no mention of the onion address.

Hacked or what? Disturbing.

Nice little pump! Easy money.

That's the thing. I'm not using tor and it won't bring up the regular wallet.  


So this tells me I have to use tor.

Blockchaininfo = fail.

I said blockchaininfo was dammed secure earlier but WTF is going on with it now? Directs me to an onion addy for wallet access. Not cool. I don't do anything sensitive with ffnn tor.

That sucks.

blockchaininfo is pretty dammed secure. Did you have 2FA enabled? Do you use the virtual keyboard for withdrawal password?

Don't do business on pc you surf, download torrents, etc.

Use virtualbox with a linux OS just for business is even better.

Every time I go to hashtalk it seems like I've stepped into another dimension. Is this stuff for real?

I synced up my linux 64 bit wallet yesterday and it was fine. Its the latest one and it needed to sync two weeks.

It could be that people are getting tired of losing money on the latest and greatest quick rich schemes(scams) and moving to established coins.

With the Paycoin scam being so successful we are bound to have a few copycats. Zifter is another one.

Remember the parade of country coins, animal coins, color coins?

The 50s movies were black and white. Many of them were worked over for color many years later. Lots of people prefer watching them in the original black and white.

Don't say the 'eye cist' or 'ell quado' words online unless you want to be on the "watch" list. If you hear a knock on the door soon its probably some dudes in suits driving big black suvs.








Ok. So I watch too much tv.

Seriously though, key words will bring them to look at this page.

That stuff is timeless. I'm 15 and I loved watching them. Stayed up real late a few years ago to watch Forbidden Planet and it scared the crap outta me.
