There are almost none. Last successful POW coin was maybe ZEC which was released like last November. Rest are all low market cap shitcoins. Everything these days is ICO because developers hate miners which dump coins and lower the price.

Unless SEC bans all ICOs, then POW will be  thing of the past.

Pretty sad that so far nobody donated anything. Greedy miners.

I know that Cold storage is the way to go when it comes to securing your BTC. However there are a few reasons why some people choose to keep their BTC on an exchange, for example to withdraw to fiat or they keep it on their Blockchain.info mobile wallet app to make small purchases from time to time.

The issues I am finding with most exchanges like Coinbase, Gemini is that even if you have 2FA enabled most can be easily reset if someone has access to your email and/or phone.

So if you have a unique email password with 2FA enabled, a unique Coinbase password with 2FA, you are still vulernable if your computer gets malware.

Authy for example lets you reset your 2FA with ONLY your email+phone number. They freeze your account for maybe 24 hours and they ask by text to confirm its you. However if your computer gets hacked, someone will have access to your email, in your email they can get your name, address, SSN, which is more than enough to change their SIM swap to theirs.

Hence if you are on vacation or take the weekends away from the computer. Someone during that time can reset your Coinbase password by email, reset your Authy 2FA by email and by phone confirmation.

So to me its seems that the ONLY way to have security ( assuming Coinbase doesn't go MtGox ) is to use a

Dedicated email address only for Coinbase. In this email there should be no traces or mentioning any personal info like Full name, Address, Phone number

Dedicated phone number only for Authy 2FA. This can be a prepaid phone which can only get refill offline by calling 611 or at the Gas station. This phone number can't be anywhere on your computer or inside your email accounts.

Secure OS like Linux or Mac with all security updates. Only use when login into the exchange, don't use it for anything else. This can be done by buying another hard drive.

So I know this is kind of paranoid and some say its far-fetched but with Bitcoin hitting $4000 almost, pretty much any amount of BTC stolen would be upsetting.

I am just wondering what everybody else is doing to keep their BTC secure on an exchange?

Its probably just variances that shows the constant hashrate for the last 48 hours. Everybody is still mostly mining ETH.

Believe me there is nothing there more profitable.

They actually can let you withdraw your faucet winnings however there are limitations.

For example, the free faucet value is usually very very small like 100 Sats.

To withdraw you usually need like 0.01 BTC min withdraw balance and 0.0005 BTC is the withdraw miner fee alone.

So even if you get lucky and win 9900x you would get 0.009 BTC. Which is not even enough to withdraw, so you would need to deposit some BTC just to withdraw your earnings but you would lose money 2x ways because you need to pay BTC to send the deposit and pay BTC to withdraw your BTC.

And 9900x is very rare and very hard to do with a time-capped and CAPTCHA faucet.

So good luck.

The other alternative is the open source ethminer program originally made by the eth foundation and improved by Genoil. Its free and exact same speed as claymore.

However it sometimes freezes, and if 1 GPU crashes it stops the entire program so no GPU is hashing until it gets restarted.

I don't think he was drunk, lately 50% of all bitcointalk posts are like that. Most likely its a non-english native speaker.

Point is, even if the 468 BTC was real. Depending on how large the password was set, it would be very risky trying to crack it with GPUs since you can mine ZEC and ETH instead and actually get paid daily; gauranteed.

Basically if the password is over 15+ chars, its almost impossible to crack.

I don't know how much bankroll you exactly have but for the protection of your users you need to have most of your funds in cold storage.

Many new sites such as yours have alot of vulnerabilies and the hot wallet can easily be depleted with a simple hack. Please move 90% of your funds to cold storage and set alerts to refill the hot wallet when it gets low.

His ZEC miner is faster than its competitors but his ETH miner is the exact same speed as the stock ethminer released by genoil which has no fee.

The fee we are paying is for the simplicity of the watchdog, the manager, and the dual mining functionality.

Before Claymore we had to use the stock ethminer program and it was a pain. Whenever the DAG changed all the rigs froze and crashed and you had to manually reboot the system.

Is it really signed? Because in the instructions it says to apply the patch. No idea if its actually signed or not.

Hate to break to you but its only going to get more and more unprofitable in the near future.

The amount that we are earning right now with our GPUs is VERY generious and you shouldn't complain.

Compared to March 2017 profitability, you are still making double.

Its free money and everybody is greedy.

Is it even possible to destroy a GPU just by using a hacked driver? I don't think so.

I know its possible to destory a GPU by a bios flash where it can alter the voltages and fry the card.

On a driver level? No sure.

I've never used Authy before. So when I used it for the very first time, download the app, and to my knowledge there was a bunch of Bitcoin services that I have used in the past like CEX or Cryptsy. So I am worried that maybe someone already has my Authy control and when I register for a new service like Coinbase my 2FA will appear.

Is there any way how to reset all of this? Or is the only safe way to just buy a burner phone and make sure no where in my emails I mention that number?

I am pretty sure his red trust won't change. Looking at his feedback trust summary there are 3 red negatives given by Lauda and shorena and I am pretty sure they won't remove the trust even if he refunds everybody.

Just wondering if its anyway possible to use Authy with various services without an SMS phone number for security purposes?

Some sites only accept Authy and not Google authenticator. What I am worried about is the social engineering hacks and someone getting my number and getting my 2FA.

You forgot to include a downloadable link to your virus.

Honestly I have no idea if the "investor" he got will be sufficient enough. A few pages back the admin agreed that all he was looking for was someone who said they would fund the bankroll, but didn't actually have to send any funds over.

So just getting someone to sign a message proving they hold 100 BTC isn't a guarantee that they will actually pay out if the site starts to lose money.

The problem in my opinion with 99% of all the small bitcoin gambling sites is that they don't really make any money. They probably get deposits no bigger than 0.01BTC from a few people and those people once they lose the 0.01BTC they usually never make any more deposits.

Most of the casino revenue is from the top 5 big sites like PrimeDice, the rest are trying their hard to compete. Very rarely these days is there a new up and coming casino that actually ends up being successful or a big hit.

This thread isn't about him offering refunds. I think he did offer to refund the 4 people he sold it too.

The reason for this topic is probably the entire principle where he didn't mean to actually scam those people. I am pretty sure if he knew the wallet was a fake hoax he wouldn't try and sell it to anybody else. But he had no idea, and then his past ended up catching up to him.

Yeah I been telling the admin of the site to pay back his debts first before he keeps promoting his site. Basically a few months back, they ran into a huge variance problem where they ended up losing more bankroll than their deposits. Hence the site became insolvent.

Instead of going to a bank and getting a loan to repay those BTC debts, they just kept promoting the site to get more deposits to cover their losses, however with their trust nobody wants to gamble there anymore.

If they took out a bank loan when I told them, it would be 50% cheaper than it is right now due to BTC price rising.

But the way things are going, nobody will get any BTC from this website.
