I understand the criticisms, but they are misplaced IMO.


I think the culture of running one's own personal server has yet to take off, yet I can see it happening eventually. Everyone knows the problems with free, centralised web services, and yet they also behave as if running a server is not an option. It takes more money and resources to serve your own content, but the operative word at the beginning of this sentence is "own". When we run our own servers, not unlike seeding Bittorrent content or running a Bitcoin node, it places the user in control, you own your presence or content on the web.

Ideas like Diaspora (decentralised social network alternative to Facebook) and OpenBazaar have yet to catch fire, yet the potential for them to do so is huge. Other competitors in the same markets as Diaspora and OpenBazaar (mostly Facebook and eBay) have been pushing more and more unwanted changes on their users, in an abuse of their dominant market position. They will push too hard eventually, I'm somewhat surprised there hasn't been more of a backlash yet.

I don't think money is problem there. You can run your own server for just a few bucks a month. Most users are not even trying to do it because they think that it's way too complicated for them when it's in fact very simple

623  Other / Off-topic / Re: (Security) will virtual keyboard save me? on: June 03, 2017, 10:23:14 PM
Hello

If logging into some site that is sensitive to one (like BTC exchange probably for people here is the best example). Is it considered much safer to use a virtual keyboard (which comes with my payed well know/established) antivirus system (instead of using physical keyboard)?

The physical keyboard si suspect to keylogger, the virtual isnt, correct? Also there is not any other common method how to "listen" to virtual keyboard, correct?

The only way would be to "intercept" the outgoing communication through internet, correct?

But there isnt any common way/keylogger for virtual keyboard, so using virtual keyboard should be considered much safer then using normal physical keyboard (while typing passwords to sensitive "stuff" (websites etc.), Correct?

Time when hackers would spread only keyloggers is long gone. Now most common method of stealing your data is by using RAT. Now most of them will recognize your input into password field and save data by that so does not really matter if you use virtual keyboard or not. And even if they don't use that they can see your screen...

Good to see that this project is believed in and has a lot of funding to keep going! Funny thing is that nobody seems to be using it a lot (although it is a very promising project) and that many blame it for requiring stores to be always online...
Agree with you. The reason nobody uses it is because newcomers are sceptical when they have to download software to their pc in order to buy/sell product, and in case they want to sell they have to keep node running all the time which requires VPS. Much simpler to join some market on TOR even its not as secure
625  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-06-01] Bitcoin may hit $4,000 by the end of the year: Analyst on: June 03, 2017, 09:53:17 PM
I see more and more news coming from market analyst specially from CNBC.

It's something that I have been noticing throughout a wider field. Bitcoin is a hot item nowadays -- which is exactly why these traditional sites are now putting their feets into the Bitcoin waters. It's not exactly that they are trying to put Bitcoin in a better daylight, but more the fact that they want to attract users that will regularly visit their site. Don't forget that the same sites that we are talking about, have been very skeptical about Bitcoin....

Are they making a U-turn regarding bitcoin now? They started to be skeptical indeed, but I don't know why they are now making a U-turn and saying positive news about it. Maybe they are just riding the popularity on bitcoin to attract users to their website as you suggested. So it works both ways now, people click their website, bitcoin gain popularity and I hope investors are well.

Well bitcoin is so huge now that new investors should either be a big company or country to really make some change
626  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin overcome Paypal? on: June 02, 2017, 03:50:40 PM
Yeah yeah bitcoin has most users now than ever before and user count will just rise, but what about fees ? I mean if price continue to rise like this fees will be much larger than paypals...

629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Monitoring WannaCry hackers' bitcoin addresses in real time on: May 18, 2017, 10:13:04 PM
Btw, here are some funny transactions made to the wannacry addresses

1) https://blockchain.info/tx/4dcf70c864172869c0950e4e24b9f1a7ff410417411a2a2d0ede85b6281b5a67
    Someone sent 0.00006 btc from an address starting with 1FuckYou....
2) https://blockchain.info/tx/96015c757e440554005965b97349234dcae8d4c0f8cc3410a0743cbcc9bacd6c
    Look at this transactions' sender's addresses, they seem to send a message to the hackers :
    "1You....
     1Are....
     1A......
     1Cunt..."

It is really funny when you post it here but tbh hackers probably didn't even notice it...
630  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Monitoring WannaCry hackers' bitcoin addresses in real time on: May 18, 2017, 01:07:12 PM
WannaCry 2.0 is out and, guess what there is no killswitch anymore  Grin

If you wanna protect against such threats, check out https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1903071.msg18888453#msg18888453
Its impossible to get infected with WannaCry if you follow the whole guide

I'll tell you this for free.
1) Update your Windows to latest version
2) Get Paid antivirus like ESET
3) Have brain

And that should cover it about all...
631  Other / Archival / Re: [ANN] Lauda Escrow Services on: May 16, 2017, 08:24:02 PM
Used this escrow service multiple times in a last few days. Always respond instantly or in next 10-15 minutes. One of the best escrow services I used overall, would recommend to anyone.
632  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Doing a trade on LBC. How long does a bank transfer take to show up? on: May 14, 2017, 11:45:36 AM
Depends if you and seller are from the same country, same bank... But I'd say you must wait at least 3 days starting from monday (tomorrow)
633  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Monitoring WannaCry hackers' bitcoin addresses in real time on: May 14, 2017, 08:36:53 AM
If it was $20 instead, I would probably pay it anyway, but there's really no point.

Yes, that's why they don't really target individuals. But if they've found a couple of sloppy companies, jackpot!


I assume the following:
- that some institutions reverted to clean backups
- there are more than 3 addresses
- spread was stopped by a blogger who discovered a kill switch in the virus (this has been verified) - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/13/accidental-hero-finds-kill-switch-to-stop-spread-of-ransomware-cyber-attack

There have to be more than 3 addresses. And it's Saturday, many companies cannot access their money until the banks open Monday. Only then we'll see how big the damage is...
Do you really think that those big companies that are affected by the virus will be paying bitcoins to decrypt their infected files? I think they just get specialist to remove the ransomware, but I am not sure if that is even possible with this big infection from last week.

Big companies have insurances for the event like this that will probably pay this for them...
634  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is useless or is it? on: May 14, 2017, 08:31:03 AM
well if frees are what concern you most just loot at paypal of skrill for example. Do you like that better ? I will always prefer having higher fees and no one above me to fuck with my money
635  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: $0.85 transaction fee is absolutely ridiculous! on: May 12, 2017, 02:01:08 PM
I don't like this either... The more price grow higher are transactions fees and one of main reasons I use bitcoin are low transactions fees (instead of 2.4% + 30c lol)
636  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please dump it on: May 12, 2017, 01:59:10 PM
If you absolutely must think of BTC as an "investment" then your time horizon should be in decades, not months, decades.

And yet again everyone except crazy Chinese guys sells when price jump 200$ and then post topics like this one...
637  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Eckmar's Marketplace and Auction Script [ESCROW FEATURES] [199$][TOR] on: May 12, 2017, 01:53:44 PM

Would have been great if we could see a LIVE demo. Few questions I would like to ask:
1. Does the buyer  pay to the site r the seller directly?
2. What are the payment methods integrated?
3. Do you provide all source code and documentation?

I'd like to ask you to read my post again. Anyway I will answer your questions shortly yeah you can use escrow,only bitcoind integration trough bitcoind and you will get source code
