721  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New idea for security to sell - all malware obsolete on: September 05, 2014, 11:09:27 PM


100% total security for eternity is not something that can be achieved by anyone.


i have to admit that but what certainly can be achieved is that malware-programmers have to be more sofisticated by three orders of magnitude than what is now required. Currently it's only a few lines of code to look for and send the wallet.dat out. It couldn't be easier to steal coins with malware than is currently. The bad boys do not even need to care about keeping up with stuff since nothing is evolving with security. They can focus on spreading their software instead of worrying if it is functional.
If developement would be constantly ongoing in that area it would make life much harder for the thiefs.
Currently they take all coins with one program because they all work the same. One bad piece of software and all coins gone for the average user. Too bad, too sad.

When it comes to storing private keys more secure there is a lot that can be done.

Sometimes the most simple solutions are the ones nobody is thinking of.

I honestly wanted to see the system fully implemented and cracked afterwards. If it was to be cracked it could take a long time and the malware will not be widely available if that would ever happen. I could even imagine a system that never gets cracked. Don't say it isn't possible.

Hiding away effectively and strictly limiting access to a string of numbers isn't that hard to do and storing it in the current way is worst case. Shocking is the absolute non-evolving of that aspect of crypto.

generally speaking: does a new coin have more value than an old one?
Is 'fresh released' something of value?

Serious question.
723  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: In need of coin dev to help resurrect coin on: September 05, 2014, 10:48:53 PM
i also have 3 to 5 coins with good potential that need a dev to revive. Just sayin'

Yeah, I hear ya. There have been many coins that have come and gone, many with more potential than others. It  takes a community to make a coin successful.

look at particles (prt) or cinni ... people shit where they eat
724  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New idea for security to sell - all malware obsolete on: September 05, 2014, 10:39:23 PM

Randomized security is of limited effect because the wallet program has to know where the file is located, so malware could target it.

there are solutions for that



As for limited access, that's great, but how? It's not as simple as saying that "no program except those authorized can gain access to this file."


i know software that can do that. Options are plenty.


Like I said, those are good ideas BUT they do have caveats and no one will pay you for them.

not a problem at all so the stuff stays with me until someone hires me for a project/takes risk of buying vague ideas or i can code shit myself. The full ideas have not even been discussed.

726  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tired of being scammed and losing to bots, how do I effectively scam people? on: September 05, 2014, 09:13:10 PM
This sad situation is pretty much completely the alt-coin communities fault.

You want to know why there are so few honest developers in the crypto-coin scene?

The community only rewards the dishonest developers and scam artists PERIOD.

Look at the amount of coin THROWN at IPOs. IPOs in themselves are not necessarily scams, but they are very effective tools for the scam artists.

Syscoin.....the equivalent of 3/4 of a MILLION dollars (1500 BTC * 500 = 750,000)

REALLY??

I provided a service for over two years that was widely used and at one point was getting over 1.5 million hits a week. Over that time period I got enough donations for maybe a cup of coffee every few months.

I basically paid in both time and money for the "honor" of providing the service. This is why it is now a paid service with no more "non-donation" funding.

I have other projects in the works now, but after seeing the whole syscoin thing, I am ready just to give up. Many of my honest developer peers are no longer on the scene. Notice how many of the original devs from a couple of years ago no longer frequent this place? Can't imagine why that is.  Roll Eyes

It would be easy for me to flip the switch and go to the "dark" side so to speak, but that is not who I am.


Well it was nice to vent, too bad it will change nothing. You will still throw money at the scam artists and give the honest developers the shaft.

Until the community decides to start supporting the core services and foundation building for the crypto coin world,instead of only supporting those who appeal to your greed, you will continue to get what you deserve.




totally this!
The scammed ones keep the scams going. Ipo, ico, presale anyone?
Why do people pump premined coins and cry when they get dumped on and are left with abandoned coins? There are good coins out there with no premine, consistent developement/maintaining and so on. They are under value big times.

Only because a coin is new doesn't give it value. But people will need some more time to understand that.

Concerning the bot-problem: close the spread with a tiny bid and most of them are gone ... life can be so easy Wink
727  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best & Fastest PoS Coin to Clone on: September 05, 2014, 09:02:16 PM
I am biased, but Hyper Stake is a pretty bad ass PoS coin that is very actively maintained.

Without being biased, Hobo Nickles would be my second choice.

that shit can be gone tomorrow. He wants "secure and reliable"  Roll Eyes
728  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best & Fastest PoS Coin to Clone on: September 05, 2014, 08:59:23 PM
One last bump for suggestions.

I'm looking for FAST, STABLE, SECURE. "Features" are all back seat. This coin has one job to perform... quick and reliable wealth transfer.

why launch a new coin? Why not use a set of coloured coins/bits?
You can use btc or ltc for example or any other coin with secure network.
729  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New idea for security to sell - all malware obsolete on: September 05, 2014, 08:36:14 PM
It's quite simple.

And no-one but you has thought of it??

it's not out there. All the coins still use the same damn wallet.dat to store private keys. Given how easy stuff is improved, the length of time it wasn't done and how relativeley few people are in the space ... of course nobody had the set of ideas - otherwise it would be out there already.

edit: i don't see developement/evolution in the wallet-security at all currently. So the makers around here certainly need some input in that area.
730  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New idea for security to sell - all malware obsolete on: September 05, 2014, 08:26:08 PM
People making extraordinary claims should provide extraordinary evidence.

Separately, No one has paid me for the great many ideas I contributed to Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency world— and most ideas, even good ones, are unworkable for boring engineering or user-factor reasons.

engineering shouldn't be that much work and user-factor isn't an issue either since it would result in additional options the user can opt to use or not.

Since i am a small fry and have been burned a few times on alts i don't see why i should give away a feature that certainly adds to the hypeability of a coin or software to someone who is already rich for free so the other person can cash in on it or claim it was theirs. Of course it adds to the value of an altcoin and once completed will be copied and probably the new standard after a while, so i naturally want a share of the pie in some way.

well, brain for hire in thinktank i guess ... in case someone plans on doing a real project...
731  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New idea for security to sell - all malware obsolete on: September 05, 2014, 07:34:41 PM
randomized obscurity, second layer encryption, limited access and another additional thing.
Fully implemented: no way a hacker can get the private key.


the current situation with wallet.dat files is BS. That can be improved a lot. Implementation is easy.
732  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New idea for security to sell - all malware obsolete on: September 05, 2014, 07:23:24 PM
i have no idea how to give you a teaser without giving too much away. It's quite simple. And as a combined system quite powerful. I think the way wallets work currently  is a huge security issue and the wallet.dat lies on a silver tablet totally naked for anyone to take who can manage to break into a system. It's a ridiculus easy target for malware.
I know how to impove massively on security. All it needs is someone willing to code stuff. It'll be a bunch of new icons in the wallet-software in the end. So this can be made a feature.

In the way altcoins are run these days there is no way i am giving this away for free.

734  Economy / Marketplace / New idea for coin-security to sell to developers - makes all malware obsolete on: September 05, 2014, 02:16:50 PM
Hey guys. I have two different approaches for new security-features to sell.
I am not a coder only average geek-user that's why i would sell the idea to someone who can make coins.

Both ideas concern securing the wallet-file.

The first idea would be a one-button-solution as big as 300kb in the software
The second idea is also easy to implement and can be assembled from existing code in most parts (probably 1 mb big)

Both ideas can be combined but are entirely different and can also stand alone each.

Each of them makes every exisitng wallet-stealer obsolete.
The first idea will make malware-programmers life hard and put out of service probably 100% of wallet-stealers today,
the second idea is 100% total suecurity and malware-programmers can suck it probably for eternity.

The idea is worth many, many bitcoins but i'll sell it for around 1 to 2 bitcoin both in one package to someone who wants to have it. Currently i am the only person on the planet who knows that shit because i figured it out myself so you would be buying virgin ideas that are not spoiled to someone else.
That implemented into an altcoin is a feature that will certainly ad to that coins value.

If interested you'll pay 50% up front, get the first idea delivered and pay the next 50% for the even better second idea. The intelectual property is yours then and you can claim ownership of the ideas.
If nobody is interested, i'll keep it and sell it later.
Shoot me a message if interested. Will be a supreme feature for new coins and easy enough to create. If you plan on releasing a coin branded as 'secure' this is very likely a 'must have'.

As a Dogecoin fan and a member of the community, I hate to admit this, but the majority of the members of /r/Dogecoin are naive and too trustworthy.

You'd be surprised at some of the fictitious sad stories that appear on /r/dogecoin seeking financial assistance and like clockwork, the naive dump coins onto the poster, because they believe them. It's nice to be nice, but sometimes I wonder how dumb some of these folks are.

it wouldn't be dogecoin otherwise  Roll Eyes
736  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New idea for security to sell - all malware obsolete on: September 05, 2014, 11:12:16 AM
sandbox

no, but that idea is good also. Mine is better still Wink
Sandbox could be applied as a third layer. My two ideas combined with a sandbox will very likely be a killer-feature.
Once that thing is created and released it'll probably be implemented in a lot of coins.

Has anyone seen the coin Unattainium?  Huh Are they trying to rip off our name?  Angry

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=685126.0

story of two months ago. It goes:
coin started with blocktime of 3 hours (haha), dev noticed coin would fork and reduced to blocktime 3 seconds (haha)

I think it was a practical joke.

It was pumped once at ccex and was briefly traded higher than Uno (for like 8 hours or so) and had 8btc volume on one day.

I think it is considered a dead coin today like the other 300 coins launched last 3 months. I stoped paying attention to unat.

Just what i was observing.
739  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [UNO] Unobtanium Info & Discussion - Current wallet 0.9.5 on: August 31, 2014, 11:22:44 PM
from my standpoint uno is many times more likely to become a real payment-system, value storage (real world adopted coin) than i see this happening with most of the other coins. Because of fairness and other stuff longterm.
I see real adoption for btc, ltc and uno.
The first thing that people will ask: is it clean? and is it fair? Is it secure? That's what people will ask before adopting crypto. Uno wins all those questions.
I think with the right professional marketing down the road this can become a very successful coin in the long run.
Original decentralized crypto.
I also like the fact there is no foundation-shit going on here.
740  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [UNO] Unobtanium Info & Discussion - Update Now to 0.9.5 wallet on: August 31, 2014, 02:06:45 AM
is was just reading somewhere that cryptsy took 3 months to fix their nxt-wallet. I think we have been lucky with Uno cut off for just 2 weeks. Just a friendly reminder.
