Really??? Spamming people whose e-mail addresses were leaked from Coinbase?  Are you really that desperate for investment?

I received this e-mail about 10 minutes ago at a vanity address that was ONLY used with Coinbase.



Not cool... not cool at all.

Datacenter delays are causing these problems. Typically, real estate of this large-scale nature is prepared months if not a year in advance and we are doing this in weeks. Everything will be operational within the coming week, but until then we have to do our best with our current resources. I will post the miners on ebay for 10 days and cancel if the 7 day motion does not pass.

If the motion to sell the units does not pass, we will be in a top-class tier-3 datacenter piggybacking on a larger operation, getting the cheapest power in the nation.

Best,
Garrett

Honestly, as a shareholder who was hacked, and then re-acquired almost all of his original position, I wish you the best.  But I have to ask, what data center are you working with?  Are they new?

I talked to our data center and they could provision 2 - 5 cabinets, each with 4 30A 208v circuits, in 3 days if I paid about $1k per cab expedite fee.

And no, this isn't Bob's house of chicken waffles & data centers.  It's kind of the 3rd largest data center in the United States.

MtGox, which is rumored to be having problems of some sort


oh lol, talk about understatement

Cognitive-PR, you may want to remove the two links in the footer of www.cognitivemining.com.  One is MtGox, which is rumored to be having problems of some sort, and the other is to bitbank.me, which appears to have expired and is now owned by a domain squatter.

Considering your GAuth was compromised, you might want to share the nature of the hack for others ability to protect themselves.

It was a combination of a hack against my Google Apps for Business account, and a feature that Havelock has since removed that allowed you to view your GAuth QR code once you were logged in without having to re-enter a 2FA code.

Nope, I had around 230 shares, and someone hacked into my Havelock account, sold all of my shares, and then withdrew around 10 BTC.

This is very unfortunate and frustrating news. I hope that everyone checks to make sure that both 2-Factor Authentication and country based IP locking are enabled on their account. It would also be a good idea to ensure that your password is something you don't use for anything else.

Guybrush01, you have Cognitive's sympathy and support.

Lets all try and prevent something like this from happening again.

- Samuel

Just a heads up for everyone.  I worked with Havelock, and we figured out how the hack occurred.  And they went out of their way to make things right.  I know that doesn't help the share price, but at least the exchange is trustworthy and willing to do the right thing.

Yep, I had Google Authenticator enabled.  Which makes me wonder how secure Google Authenticator seeds are stored at havelock.

Also, I didn't have country based ip locking enabled, which was stupid, and means that they could have used Tor without any issue.

Is the chart on http://cognitivemining.com/charts/ not working, or are we really only getting <2TH/s right now?

EDIT: Heh, looks like some folks dumped their shares after COG.F1/2 was converted.  Good for us, cheap shares, whee!

Nope, I had around 230 shares, and someone hacked into my Havelock account, sold all of my shares, and then withdrew around 10 BTC.

I'm quite pissed off about this.

EDIT: Here's the damage:

9  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Help! Coinpunk let me receive bitcoin, but not send it! on: December 23, 2013, 03:24:21 AM
So I signed up for a coinpunk.com hosted wallet, and sent some coins to it to test with.  However, when I try to send the coins to another address, the process fails.  Instead, the browser makes countless calls to https://wallet.coinpunk.com/api/wallet via JSON.

The response is ALWAYS the same packet of JSON:

Code:
{
  "result": "outOfSync",
  "wallet": "{\"iv\":\"NMK0+62o5cYYhC8h8Yjobg==\",\"v\":1,\"iter\":1000,\"ks\":128,\"ts\":64,\"mode\":\"ccm\",\"adata\":\"\",\"cipher\":\"aes\",\"salt\":\"TI3wvDYBqo8=\",\"ct\":\"...stuff..."}"
}

I now have BTC1.5698 sitting there that I cannot access, and since I'm not a node.js programmer, I don't know how to extract my private keys from the exported wallet that I have on my computer.

Can anyone help me figure this out, or at least write a tiny node.js bootstrap that will decrypt my wallet backup so I can retrieve my private keys?

Many thanks!

EDIT:  Still going!  We're up to 2,167 API JSON calls now!

Looks like the discount shares are gone again...

Yeah, my bad, sorry.  Whenever rock-bottom shares are showing up, I buy them.  We'll see if I am ultimately marked crazy or not. :-)

Hi again, as Abdussamad has noted the transaction is over 24 years old and is no longer on the network. I should safely assume that the balance has returned to the person's blockchain.info wallet and that we can try again with a proper fee?

Um, sorry to hijack an old thread, but did you really mean 24 years old?

Slush will not - namecoin has been turned off.

Did he say why?  Just curious.

You know, a Cognitive dividend would be nice right about now, seeing as you are continuing to mortgage the security's future and whatnot...

OOOH!  Can I please pay $19 per BTC from an eBay seller with a zero rating?

LOL, I guess that's why we're all stuck in Newbie land...

Thanks for the update, I appreciate it!  It's totally my fault that I read without being logged in, I guess...

I'm just not much of a talker!

Although my MTGOX account number is under 250... that must be worth something? :-D

Hey,

I'd like to request to be back in the forums.

Much appreciated, you can see thru my posts and threads I'm not a spammer. I've purchased products in the marketplace as well, you can ask the sellers for a recommendation.
Currently the admin of xtremeroot.net community and worked on vBulletin development (with vb's parent company Internet Brands, LLC), familiar with forums and rules

Thanks

Yankee

Thankfully I don't seem so out of place on this thread any longer... :-)

Hi there!  I've been a member since 2010, but since I only read, I'm still a newbie. :-(

How do I change that?
