Lore "Melinda" Wallet

Today I downloaded and installed the new "Melinda" Lore wallet (win64.zip), I was amazed at how fast it synced without using a bootstrap. After a small test transfer to the new wallet, I've moved all my local coins onto the Lore wallet. You cannot run both your old .qt wallet and the Lore wallet at the same time so in order to transfer your coins you will have to copy the receiving address from your Lore wallet once it has synced > close the Lore wallet > open .qt wallet > paste your Lore wallet address into the send function of the .qt wallet > send coins > close .qt wallet > reopen the Lore wallet and ensure coins have arrived > coins will begin staking after 8 hrs. in the wallet.

I'm still waiting on the coins to begin staking but I have both received and sent coins from the Lore wallet. At this time I'm seeing no issues with this wallet.

Hay guys

Been awhile since Ive posted on bitcointalk. Quick question hopping someone can help? So back in 2012/13 i grabbed a heap of different cryptos ppc being one. While the price is high i wanted to sell some for $AUD? Cant find any exchange here in oz that will do it, so it look like ill have to trade for LTC or XRP etc then sell for AUD. The two exchanges here that deal with altcoins are BTCMarkets (they dont deal with PPC though) and Coinspot (You can buy and sell but you can cant send PPC from another PPC wallet to your account to trade. So im stuck. Any of you good people have advice on whats going to be the easiest and cheapest way to cash out some PPC.

Cheers

Jono

Evrial Trojan Switches Bitcoin Addresses Copied to Windows Clipboard

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/evrial-trojan-switches-bitcoin-addresses-copied-to-windows-clipboard/


A new information stealing Trojan called Evrial is being sold on criminal forums and being actively distributed in the wild. Like most infostealing Trojans, Evrial can steal browser cookies and stored credentials, but this Trojan also has the ability to monitor the Windows clipboard for certain text, and if detected, modify it to something else.

First discovered and tracked by security researchers MalwareHunterTeam and Guido Not CISSP, by monitoring the Windows clipboard for certain strings, Evrial makes it easy for attackers to hijack cryptocurrency payments and Steam trades. This is done by replacing legitimate payment addresses and URLs with addresses under the attacker's control.

Evrial takes control of the Windows clipboard

Evrial's most interesting feature is that it will monitor the Windows clipboard for certain types of strings and replace them with ones sent by the attacker. This allows the attacker to reroute a cryptocurrency payment to an address under their control. While clipboard monitoring is common with programs like this, MalwareHunterTeam has told BleepingComputer that modifications are much more rare.

For example, bitcoin addresses are not the easiest string of text to type into a program or website. Due to this, when someone sends bitcoins to an exchange or wallet, they typically copy the address that the coins should be sent to into the Windows clipboard and then paste that address into the other app or site that is performing the sending.

When Evrial detects a bitcoin address in the clipboard, it replaces that legitimate address with one under the attacker's control. The victim then pastes that address into their app, thinking its the legitimate one and not realizing its been replaced, and clicks send. Now when the bitcoins are sent, they go to the attackers address rather than your intended recipient.

Evrial is configured to detects strings that correspond to Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, WebMoney, Qiwi addresses and Steam items trade urls.

Evrial steals passwords documents

In addition to monitoring and modifying the clipboard, Evrial will also steal bitcoin wallets, stored passwords, documents from the victim's desktop, and a screenshot of the active windows.  All of this information will be compiled into a zip file and uploaded to the attackers web panel ..............

You obviously sent some BTX to another address or you sold some on exchange. If you do so, coins are moved to change addresses in your wallet. This is normal behaviour in qt-wallets. Check your preferences about "coin control" and register the new address for AIRDROP as well. This will fix the problem and you'll get 5% again for all of your coins on next monday.

Electrum wallets are basically "cloud" wallets except they use a deterministic password (usually 8 to 12 words) as a seed to store your coins. Makes it so its not dependent on you running a full node for VTC, though that can assist overall network health
