Hey mate thanks for the alarm. I tried to search it as you said and this what came out. - I think the owner of that cken you've searched and this one is the same. These scammers / hackers can't really do something with their lives and never stops to get a victim through google search. -snip- Why google allows this? I remember users reporting the exact same attack for bitaddress, multiple thousand dollars worth of Bitcoin were stolen in this attack. The people that operate these websites seem to have no conscience. It also seems that Google does not check the content of their adwords publishers manually, which is really disgusting. I guess the only thing we can do is reporting these phishing websites manually. To be fair, i doubt any Google employee have any knowledge about Cryptocurrency and it's services. So it's obvious they wouldn't know whether the advertised website/product is scam or not. But i think the real reason is they don't want let their user enjoy decentralized system (which is opposite of their service) or/and don't care whether the advertised website/product is scam or not Only massive manual report by users can solve this problem. You are right, but I think that they have some sort of list with websites that they compare to the submitted websites, because I don't see this happening for banks. Although I noticed that they changed some of the meta data like title and description, that might be the reason why these websites get through the screening. |

I'm very tired of completing a captcha to access this forum, for at least two reasons:
1. It doesn't work properly. Sometimes it needs about 10 minutes to 'verify' it. I'm not exaggerating...
2. It requires javascript and many of us don't like to get JS enabled in our browser.
Who else think captcha should be removed and maybe replaced with a better method, for example Solve Media?
Captcha prevents bots from flooding this forum with spam and protects your account against brute-force attacks. Click the "Always stay logged in" checkbox, the next time you login. I do not have this problem because I do not login every time I visit this forum. Also JavaScript less captcha is not going to work, as client side validation is easy to exploit. |

I do not understand how a hacker can find or break a private key in an online wallet like MEW just by knowing the password on WIFI. Yes, I do not know the hack world, but being careful about using passwords and keeping private keys is absolutely essential.
Man-in-the-middle-attacks can capture post requests, hijack sessions, strip SSL connection and do other malicious attacks to steal your passwords. Be very careful with who you give access to your internet, never put your access-point on open. |

The smallest amount of BTC you can buy is 0.00000001 btc
The smallest amount of ADA you can buy is 0.000001
So to say there are 23 million Bitcoins and 25 Billion ADA is actually incorrect. To accurately compare the two currencies you would have to say that there are:
25,000,000,000,000,000 ADA
2,300,000,000,000,000 BTC
So in reality there are only 10 times as many ADA as there are Bitcoin.
Wrong usage of units, there are really 21 million Bitcoins and 21 million times 100 million satoshis as one satoshi is equal to 10 nanoBitcoin. |

Roger Ver is totally into to profit, he is willing to trade his ideals (about economic freedom) for money. Besides bitcoin.com, he also owns /r/btc and has shares in multiple block-explorers and exchanges. I remember an article which described that Roger Ver and his team influenced explorers and exchanges to list BCH as Bitcoin. The problem is that we can not stop this from happening, as Roger Ver and his team have a lot of money and therefore influence. So they can buy up community owned properties that they can use to imitate Bitcoin. In perspective, BTG was worth $350 in December and they have a pre-mine of 100,000 units, that means that they could have possibly made $35,000,000 from this project.

Ik heb ook het gevoel dat er te weinig sMerits in omloop zijn, vooral in de Nederlandse gemeenschap. Wellicht zijn er minder merit sources in de Nederlandse gemeenschap of zijn zij te kritisch, ik weet het niet. Maar het houdt me eerlijk gezegd ook niet heel erg bezig, het systeem is naar mijn mening niet heel effectief. Het doel was om hiermee spammers van het forum te weren, het tegendeel is bewezen want het aantal spammers lijkt toe te zijn genomen. Ook past het systeem totaal niet bij een democratisch stelsel als Bitcoin, waarin een centrale eenheid bepaald wie geschikt is als bron en deze vervolgens het recht geven oneindig merits in omloop te brengen, exact de definitie van de centrale bank.

Hey, dat heb ik idd ook al gelezen en omdat het me net iets te tricky was heb ik hier dan ook mijn vraag gesteld.
MAAR Crypto Winkel heb ik dus op marktplaats gevonden.
Het probleem van andere marktplaats personen is dat je nooit helemaal zeker weet wat
je koopt, wie weet hebben ze de te verkopen miner wel overclocked en is ie daarom kapot
gegaan + het feit dat bitmain geen garantie acceptteerd van doorverkochte miners.
Dus de kreet incl. garantie is waardeloos.
Al met al begint het idee om in china te bestellen steeds aanlokkelijker te worden
al zal ik dat wel eerst een andere curency aam moeten schaffen omdat bitmain
geen bitcoin betalingen meer accepteerd.
Dat lijkt mij ook de veiligste keuze. BCH(Bitcoin Cash),BTC(Bitcoin),LTC(Litecoin) and USD wire payment methods are accepted in this batch. Volgens Bitmain kan je in de huidige batch ook betalen met Bitcoin, dus je hoeft niet te ruilen. Hou er wel rekening mee dat je het naar een BTC adres stuurt en niet naar een BCH adres, in dat geval zou jouw Bitcoin volledig verloren zijn. |

I was just thinking if we really have financial privacy with Bitcoin with all these different types of analysis tools? https://www.walletexplorer.com/ identifies your wallet provider and https://www.chainalysis.com/ link them all together. I am not sure if these analysis tools are rendered void by the use of Mixer services, but it is still a problem for many people not using these Mixer services. My main concern is IF we have given governments the perfect solution with Bitcoin to track all financial transactions. Something that is not currently possible with Fiat cash. I am not concerned about governments that are using this technology to track criminals or terrorists, but rather those governments that wants to use that information to get rid of their opposition. <People who donate money to sites like WikiLeaks> These tools can be used for "Good" and "Bad" and we will never know if "Bad" people are using these tools to target "Good" people.  What is your opinion about this? I tried walletexplorer on multiple address generated by different providers/warez and it couldn't identify the right one. So, I don't think that we really have to worry about tools like these. My advice, don't trade-in privacy for comfort, software wallets like Electrum can't compare to web-wallets that save your private keys and details on their servers. Not everybody has financial privacy and anonymity, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country_or_territory. It shows that there are a handful of countries that forbid their citizens from using Bitcoin and therefore can punish them if they do. Everything has pros and cons, meaning that it can be used for the good or the bad. For example, you could graduate in psychology and help people or you could use your knowledge to manipulate people. I see a lot of the staff of Walletexplorer moved over to Chainalysis, so I do not know if the project was abandoned, but I still added it to the discussion to show people what can be done. It is also more difficult to get your hands on Chainalysis, so I might not have been able to substantiate my point, if I could not use a working example of what can be done. It is not to say, if Walletexplorer <outdated> could not link these sites, that Chainalysis < A commercial version > would not have more updated links/info to do much deeper analysis of those addresses. From the presentations that I have seen, Chainalysis is MUCH better. It is indeed not easy to setup an account at chainanalysis nor could I find a demo at Youtube. But I am really wondering what the process of identifying these addresses is? That way we could understand how to get real financial privacy and anonymity. Bitiodine is no longer actively developed as an open-source project, so they might use that framework as their service. But they also could have designed their own framework, in which we will never know what is going on under the hood. |

Can you explain what security coins are? A quick Google search could not answer my question. You might be confused with the term privacy coins? Also, nobody could really know for sure whether a specific coin will be profitable or not.

There name or unit sounds like it's associated with the black market Grams. Especially because black markets are associated with cryptocurrencies. But answering your questions, no I'm not going to buy this altcoin/token. The recent ICO projects seem to raise a lot of money but turn out to be total waste on the end. I can't remember of any real innovation brought by the latest ICO projects, most of them are just aiming for profit.

We don't need more identical copies of Bitcoin nor Ethereum, there are too many already. But innovation is welcome, so when you have a great idea on how to improve the system you are welcome to publish your idea through a new altcoin.

Exactly... just like the Ledger wallet exploit was... And if you think people who setup a Pi are going to check every line of code in the distro that they download... you're the world's greatest optimist!  That's why checksums and digital signatures were invented. Also Github let's you see all changes that were done from the last release, so you don't have to check the whole code for back-doors every time a new version is released |

I don't really trust hardware wallets, that's why I don't own one. My main reason is the lack of open-source for example, Ledger wallet is only partial open-source. That means that there is still some code running on the hardware that you can't verify. Besides that, they are quite expensive compared to air-gapped machines that only require an old PC. I have more fate in a computer, without internet capability running a wallet compiled from source (Armory) than pre-configured hardware. Armory allows you to sign transactions on your air-gapped machine and managing your wallet on an online PC without sign access (watching-only).
They certainly add a level of convenience, especially for all of the coins the support. That's is certainly a benefit for people who store altcoins. But for my personal situation not, as I only store Bitcoin and some Litecoin. Also, a ledger nano s for example is much cheaper than any laptop/very cheap desktop you'd find, I don't think it's fair to assume that everybody would have an old computer lying around.
Even the old computers that schools have, will run an offline version of Armory. I bet you can get these for less than 10 bucks on a flea market or elsewhere. Also Armory has support for single board computers like the Raspberry Pi, that can be bought for $25. It's a hardware wallet with even better security and validity, but at a fraction of the cost. ..... Support for Armory has been weak for the OS X for some time, and future support for the MS version is not certain. However, note that Armory supports regeneration using a keyword sequence. And that page you print out can have an encryption key. So there is really no reason for the old PC, right? Yesterday's computers likely will not work on tomorrow's database. Armory requires a full copy of the CORE database, so the "old PC" will need something > 200 GB available. Since the CORE database is growing, any reasonable projection for the storage needs after say 5 years is what, maybe 500-800 GB? I was talking about the offline version. Windows and OSX still have full support for Armory, so I don't get what you're talking about. Storage for the full blockchain is not that expensive, one terabyte harddrives go for less than $40. Now if we can buy 1tb drives for <$40 what does this mean? That the $10 PC no longer does the job....which is what I said... Regardless, you are still doing it wrong "According to Armory." You print out a paper wallet with their word list and store that. In five or ten years time there may be expected many changes in wallets and PC operating systems. That's right, to have Armory fully up and running you also will need an online machine with quite some disk space. Meaning that the total costs won't be $10, however I was not talking about the full set-up for Armory but just the offline machine only. I like Armory for it's offline signing feature, which is easy and fast to use and that does not apply for a paper with the word list on it. I'm not here to argue. See bolded above those are easily verified facts. Right. Armory is in my circumstances the best software wallet available, because I only use Windows and Unix distributions. |

Nooit inloggen als je geen SSL certificaat in de adres balk ziet, ofwel een HTTPS verbinding.
Een handige plugin is "HTTPS Everywhere", verkrijgbaar voor Chrome, Firefox en wellicht nog meer browsers.
Zelfs dat is nog niet eens genoeg bij DNS hijacking... Leg eens uit? Naar mijn weten is HSTS in combinatie met HTTPS immuun voor DNS hijacking. Wanneer de DNS door deze hijacking naar een andere site verwijst met een geldig certificaat, kan het nog steeds een phishing site zijn. Correct me if I'm wrong - ik weet in ieder geval dat veel phishing sites tegenwoordig voorzien zijn van een geldig certificaat (alleen dan wel van een geldig certificaat van de phishing site) Phishing websites kunnen mogelijk een geldig SSL certificaat hebben, maar niet de originele van het slachtoffer (in dit geval myetherwallet). Mits de aanvallers niet de private key hebben weten te bemachtigen. Goed controleren of het certificaat dus overeenkomt. Klopt - alleen kunnen zij (via een alternatieve certificaat verstrekker) geen geldig SSL certificaat hebben voor -in dit geval- myetherwallet ? Dat zou niet moeten kunnen, dan zou de aanvaller toch echt in het bezit moeten zijn van de private key. Volgens het artikel op Tweakers waarna Jansen227 refereert is verkeer door middel van het border gateway protocol doorgeleid naar een server elders en dus zou er geen beveiligde verbinding moeten zijn tussen de slachtoffers en de aanvaller met het officiële certificaat van MEW. |

hey,
Ik heb nog nooit iemand gesproken die bij bitmain heft besteld, maar ondertussen ben
ik wel aan de weet gekomen dat de vervoerder dan aan de deur staat met een rekening
voor invoerrechten, btw en inklaringskosten.
Dus het voordeel dat jij noemt verdampt dan redelijk snel + het feit
dat ik 2 jaar garantie krijg (volgens de website dan)
Bij dat soort winkels zal ik niet uitgaan van de betrouwbaarheid met betrekking tot garantie. Ik heb meerdere malen meegemaakt dat ik iets bestelde op een relatief onbekende website, vervolgens een jaar later geen spoor meer te bekennen. Tevens vallen de invoerrechten in vergelijking met de verhoging van resellers wel mee, ik lees uit ervaringen van anderen dat het vaak om een paar tientjes gaat. |

If you want to be sure that you get payed the right amount then only join signature campaigns that are managed by reputable members and running for multiple weeks. The signature campaign that I participate in has it's own public spreadsheet were the manager keeps all it's data, including addresses and payouts. Look up some addresses in a block-explorer and check if the transactions correspond to the values on the sheet.

The spammers are posting meaningless one-liners to increase their post count/activity and thus trying to rank up easily. When their rank is high enough to join signature campaigns they can continue with what they are doing and receive money for it. All actions that were take to prevent this flood of spammers were exploited by them. For example, the merit system doesn't really seem to work.

Taxi was doing a perfectly good job....
but Uber works better!!!
Landlines phone were perfectly good phone...
But cellphone works better...
We have Fiat but Bitcoin was introduce...
Do I need to say more?
I disagree in case you are suggesting that altcoins work better. The comparison should rather be: Traditional payment systems did a good job.... But Bitcoin works better! In the third comparison you're just changing the whole sentence. |
