6802  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are transaction costs like these days? on: September 10, 2018, 04:00:21 AM
Dude it's like 20cents or so. It depends how quickly you need a confirmation, but you could get away with less if you can wait a few hours.



Even priority transactions cost some cents these days, no need to wait for hours.

I heard somewhere that this current dip is last opportunity to reap great rewards in cryptocurrency.

Not a financial advice.
6804  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think that the HODL approach is good bitcoin? on: September 10, 2018, 03:56:07 AM
Hell yeah. Hodling is best for Bitcoin, you can literally reap huge profits, doubt? Examine the history. Every 4 years Bitcoin is going to be damn scarce and its gonna give it immense value.
6805  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: alternative that rivals the ETH on: September 09, 2018, 04:08:07 AM
I think a big rival was NEO but now it seems like it dropped to the undersoil, it lost almost all of it's value in just a couple of months, now i think that EOS or Cardano are the best alternatives to ethereum.

Every coin has lost its value in this dip. EOS is good but costs of making dApp on it are pretty high.

6806  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there hope? Can we still make a bigger profit from altcoins this year? on: September 09, 2018, 04:04:15 AM
I am actually surprised. This is nearly perfect opportunity to invest in altcoins, you can buy any altcoin with good use-cade and reap good rewards by holding them couple years.
6807  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investment or free? on: September 08, 2018, 03:55:51 AM
I'd go with free. Stellar, Nano, ripple are some big names that started as an airdrop. They are now trading at pretty good price. Not saying that investment ICOs fail but history shows that most ICOs do fail.

HOW TO STOP HACKERS TO HACK YOUR CRYPTO WALLET
Protect yourself from cyber criminals

Good day to all of you guys I am EdsnowAngel a programmer and a bit security tester in different platforms. Now I heard to my friends a lot of concerns saying "please help me my bitcoin wallet was hacked!!"
Ok ok first thing first when your bitcoin wallet gets compromised then your funds was send in different wallet then it is irreversible meaning no return of funds!! so I wanna tell everyone how to protect your bitcoin wallet from such kind of situation.

1st: Protect your GMAIL or EMAIL ACCOUNT
     
       We all know we use GMAIL as our email provider for such accounts like blockchain then we can recover and approve login with email in some wallets, now when your email account was targeted and get compromised then say goodbye to your bitcoin.To secure your bitcoin wallet(ex: blockchain or other) go to your google account settings. and then turn on the 2FA(2nd factor authentication) here is the guide on how to do it: STEP BY STEP GUIDE

2nd: Use your own DEVICE or COMPUTER/PHONE
 
       It's a very bad idea to use someones device(ex:from friend) to make a transaction in your bitcoin wallet why? because first you don't know what is the capability of that person regarding that matters and you don't know if that phone has a lot of malwares and spywares.So we cannot say that you are safe using someones device to make transactions.

3rd: Always backup you PK's or PRIVATE KEYS
         
       This is the most important thing to remember for everyone using your ETH or BTC wallet without backing up your Private keys then you can't recover you wallet in case you forgot your wallet.PK's are very important but there are thing you should do first. Make sure you store your PK backup somewhere that you only know and not from your computer because there are some spyware that might inside of your computer that can steal that file so make sure you back it up print in a paper and hide it to the place where you only know.

4th: Don't open links from malicious emails

      This method was called email phishing where an attacker will send the same email in thousands of random users once the victim will click the link in that email then his or her device was compromised to avoid this please do not click the links included in the email immediately please always have time to check who is the sender of that email and if that email is came from the site where it supposed to came from.

5th: Do not trust PUBLIC WIFI 

      It's quite good to have access with free wifi's but have you think this: IS THIS A SAFE NETWORK? without you knowing maybe some of the people connected to that same network may have idea and skill on how to sniff passwords and credentials this method was so called DNS SPOOFING or SNIFFING if you want to use public wifi then use it not just with your bitcoin transactions.

6th: Do not login on Suspicious links

     This method is called PHISHING where an attacker  will send you a link to login with your bitcoin wallet luring you with the legitimate site example is:
the real site is: https://www.blockchain.info/
the fake site is: http://www.blockchain.ga/

then once you login to the fake site then the hacker or attacker will have now your credentials. Please always check for the green lock on the url bar and the word HTTPS in the link.


so this are some of the way to stop hackers to hack your bitcoin or crypto wallet. If you have other information then you can comment it down and lets help others.




Nice info's but, i think most advanced computer user's are already familiar with most of these hacking strategies except for the benefit of newbies.

Do you have any idea's or knowledge about protecting wallet against possible so-called bitcoin private key generator? This are program developed to automatically guest & crack encrypted key through a combination of certain number's

I pointed out this because, now their are lot of advanced hacking techniques which has been employed to steal coin. I think security tester's and coder's in bitcoin enviroment should  focus more on this area's.


Thanks for the info's

It is certainly not possible. To decrypt encrypted data it takes ages. Make sure that you choose a strong password during encryption.

Yes, It does matter to some extent. But, I focus on telegram more. The way admins react to questions, the way their pinned message is written.

6811  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrencies will make you rich overnight? on: September 06, 2018, 06:04:17 AM
Not overnight. Even those people who are rich with Bitcoin, have holded it for few years, and it also depend on how you define term 'rich'.
6812  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: will decentralised exchanges be the future ? on: September 06, 2018, 05:52:50 AM
All centralized exchanges bringing kyc thing, and that doesn't really suit with cryptos. Cryptos are decentralized and decentralized exchanges are future.

6815  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why token pay for listing of exchangers on: September 05, 2018, 06:42:25 AM
In an ideal world it would not be necessary. But we don't live in an ideal world. The exchanges want to make more money. But there are positive examples too. Some exchanges won't list a crypto even if payed a lot of money. For example Binance's CEO said,

Quote

We don't list shitcoins even if they pay 400 or 4,000 BTC. ETH/NEO/XRP/EOS/XMR/LTC/more listed with no fee. Question is not “how much does Binance charge to list?” but “is my coin good enough?”  It’s not the fee, it's your project!  Focus on your own project!
https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1028190371719786496?lang=en

One more thing worth to mention. If the cryptocurrency had a fair start, if there were no premine, no developers fee, how would it pay, who would pay? Say bitcoin was not listed on some exchange, who would pay the listing fee?

Binance is not cheap they also charge hefty fees. Only exchange I kinda liked is Bittrex, they sometime list for free (although they are strict on legal mumbo jumbo).
6816  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I wish! I wish!! I wish!!! Stop always wishing You bought Bitcoin in 2009. on: September 05, 2018, 06:36:15 AM
I hate it as well and guess what even if they would have purchased Bitcoin at some cents, they would have sold early. (I really salute those who did not, that's some extraordinary patience).
6817  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is best wallet for long term bitcoin holding? on: September 05, 2018, 06:26:40 AM
Make a new text file >> paste your Bitcoin private key in it >> encrypt it using 256 bit encryption (many softwares provide that) >> make multiple backups of it. Now go to sleep.
6818  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Simple Tips Keeping Your Bitcoin from Hackers. on: September 04, 2018, 04:12:44 AM
How can I secure my email accounts? I have been wondering if 2FA can actually be used to secure email. Thanks for your prompt response

Yes it can be used. I recommend you to not to use mobile number otp as 2fa (since there has been cases when sim cards got compromised and then email then accounts related to email) rather use Google authenticator or hardware 2fa and keep backup of 'secret key' and 'backup-codes' to secure location.
6819  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You don't need a mobile device to make lightning payments on: September 04, 2018, 03:59:09 AM
There are always alternatives. Mobile payments are popular because literally everyone have it. Don't make simple things complicated.
6820  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is cryptocurrency so difficult to understand on: September 04, 2018, 03:56:12 AM
Yeah but at the core everything is difficult to understand. Do you know how your body works? Or that console? Those machines, people also don't realize that in fiat money they trust is nothing but piece of paper and government can print them unlimited.

But, they know how to use fiat and other things. Tell them the advantage of cryptos, no need to explain 'how it works'.
