You sure LBC will not ask for additional info before generating new 2FA list?

Paper codes list? It should, but I just tried and found a big fucking flaw.

Once you are logged in, you can generate same list again. There is a big flaw, it doesn't generates a new 2FA code list until old one is used, instead of that it shows you current list.

Ie: Once Attacker got your session somehow and logged in your account, he can get your 2FA paper code keys.
I think this method was used to steal users coin and I am sure only those users who were using paper code 2FA got affected.
Ps: I have reported it to jeremias on lbc


edit: it's fixed now, codes were cached by their system for 24 hours.

Here are some tips to avoid getting scammed in an IPO and to avoid any kind of problems.

1. Stop Sending funds directly to developers, Use escrow, there are many available who charge low fees.
If developer is legit he shouldn't have any problem.

2. Read escrow agreement carefully.

3. Stop sending funds from trading/exchange sites, it just creates problem in verifying investors identity and giving refunds.
(Use wallets like Bitcoin QT, Multibit, Eelectrum, Blockchain.info, Armory, Android wallets)

4. Don't go on fancy images,logo or GUI looks, sometimes reality can be different.  (for example: Edgecoin,numus,stackcoin)

5. Stop jumping on the bandwagon, think twice if coin is worthy or not.

6. Read what developer is promising you in ANN, Escrow will just protect you till you get your coins,but after that you are responsible for any kind of loss. ie: wallet not working properly, fork or some other issues.

7. Check source code.  Developers are coming up with new algorithms but what if it's not what they promised.
Frankly how many of you check source code or try to know about algorithm before investing funds in an IPO ?

8. Check if common services are available for coin at the time of launch or not, for example: website,social accounts, blockexplorer etc
I've seen people doing IPO's and launching coin without having a block explorer website.

9. Ask your escrow to release bitcoins only once you got what you were promised.
I've seen developers coming up new ways to fool users, ie: Giving coins on alternate client for eg: numus or by asking escrow to release bitcoins right after giving coins to him for distribution before launching wallet files publicly.

Escrow provider should avoid this until they get confirmation from users or they check source code themselves, since every wallet looks same, developer can give you a normal scrypt wallet and transfer coins but those coins will have 0 value without the features etc he promised.


10. Steps for signing a message on blockchain.info, electrum and bitcoin-QT  (I've made this long time ago)

So why did some people not use escrow? What was the reason for it?

Escrow fees.

How much it was btw?  1% right?
5$ to keep 500$ safe is not bad at all and I'm not sure why investors were paying escrow fees, they should have demanded escrow service from dev on his own expense.

In H2O Coin's IPO Dev paid escrow fees.

As for paper codes, one screenshot is enough and sometimes people save them as PDF file for printing on their pc.
810  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Localbitcoins Update on: April 19, 2014, 09:21:49 PM
I don't think there is a "seed". Those 2FA codes cannot be deterministic, or they would be a huge joke  Grin



Maybe you should atleast check localbitcoins or any other site/app that is using 2 factor authentication.

The authentication key (seed)can be used on multiple devices simultaneously
 
Quote
The most common form of Two-Factor Authentication is TOTP. TOTP uses a secret seed and the current time to generate each of the individual authentication tokens. Essentially:


Given that anyone can know the current time, if the attacker knows the secret seed, he can essentially generate a valid OTP token at any time.
So it's possible that the secret seed that you are using for Two-Factor Authentication might be compromised.

Why you guys don't contact theymos and ask both dev's IP history and seriously no one tried to check if their name and number is correct or not?

Furthermore, by connecting my name to this lawsuit it is very hard for me to get a job, while I graduate in a little over a year. When this is all settled down I would like you to send me two signed letters that I was wrongfully accused in this case, so I can attach copies of those to my job applications and I would like you to publish a public apology to clear my name. I understand that this can not be done until the lawsuit is over and all deadlines for appeal have passed.
Goodluck man.

Well that doesn't seem healthy at all! How do you recharge your internal batteries?

Hehe, that was just a joke. These days my sleeping time is fucked up. It's 5:49 AM here and I am still awake.
I will go to sleep in 1-2 hours.
