1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: detecting web based (javascript) monero miners on any website on: September 27, 2017, 11:14:00 PM
well I am blocking it on the DNS level. Adding this line to the hosts file on your OS will block it

Code:
127.0.0.1   coin-hive.com

other approach could be firewall,
or a browser extension like AdBlock, but you would need to make a custom filter rule like this
Code:
||coin-hive.com/lib/coinhive.min.js

would you like it even if you had 15 tabs opened and 5 of them would be mining? I wouldn't
Anyway that's a different topic, this extension is not blocking it, just letting you know that it's there, because everyone who implemented this didn't let their users know so far.

Probably you are familiar with this website http://coin-hive.com
They provide a service to implement a javascript monero miner which you can put on your website.
Your visitors would be mining for you...
It was silently added to thepiratebay.org website and today to dennikn.sk (news website in Slovakia)
I think many more websites will try to silently add such scripts. So I have made a chrome extension to show you this information so you are aware if your currently opened website contains a miner script or not.

4  Other / Politics & Society / I have been red pilled, are you ready for the red pill? on: September 07, 2017, 10:48:54 PM
I have been red pilled after watching the documentary The Greatest Story Never Told

https://dtube.video/#!/v/reality-check/3oo3kukf

It's 6 hour documentary split into 27 parts, about Adolf Hitler and ww2, a lot of facts I didn't know. It really has changed my world views.
It has been banned or censored on youtube many times, so I sent you link to dtube, which is a decentralised video platform.
What is your opinion about this documentary? Did you get red pilled too?
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / ridiculously high *transaction Fees* needs to be fixed asap! on: June 09, 2017, 06:29:03 PM
Hi everyone, I only registered to increase the pressure on the bitcoin community with this topic.

Recently I started investing into bitcoin, but nowadays bitcoin seems useless to do small payments or donations, since the transaction fees cost me like 0.003 BTC which is 7.69 eur. (I am not willing to pay such high fees)

If this is not gonna get fixed, bitcoin's growth will be slowed down and less people will be making transactions,
bitcoin will become just an investment commodity and not an everyday currency.
Or eventually the lack of transactions will reduce the value of bitcoin, until 0.003 BTC won't be that much money, which will self-fix the problem. But in that case, many investors will be pissed including me.

I have read about segwit that it could possibly fix this issue and that only ~30% of miners are willing to accept segwit for now.
  • Is there any plan for an important fix of the block size capacity or something that will reduce the fees?
  • How do you feel about this?
  • What can we do about it?
