Other / Beginners & Help / Re: FAKE BROWSER EXTENSIONS TARGETING YOUR LEDGER, TREZOR, METAMASK WALLETS.

on: April 15, 2020, 10:38:52 AM

Do we have a depository thread that shows or provides a consolidated and updated list of all suspected or confirmed fake browser extensions (targeting your crypto), that's been verified by bitcointalk users? If not, maybe we could create one by simply combining other threads of the same topic, just to simplify the consolidated info if that's possible.

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Browser extensions can steal bitcoin

on: April 15, 2020, 10:01:26 AM

Quote from: Neo.op on October 21, 2019, 11:23:04 AM I do not use any extensions beside Metamask and some adblockers. I have heard that some people used some extensions and their funds were stolen after that. I think they just steal the private keys or they have some kind of keylogger in it. Do not use extensions that you do not trust guys, Metamask is a safe one that I am using so far. I was utilising the bitcoin forum SEARCH feature then found this thread and I'm curious to ask if you're still using Metamask, if you still regard it as safe since it was mentioned on another thread (below) that it isn't anymore. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5238499.msg54171875#msg54171875

Other than not wanting to actually purchase your preferred crypto (before you hodl), including having lots of spare time on your hands (for the duration of the bounty) and aside from simply being challenged by trying to figure things out for yourself if you'd actually earn something for nothing (but in reality it's really your time and effort your providing), bounty hunting isn't really for everyone's cup of tea.

Quote from: mocacinno on March 26, 2020, 08:13:44 AM I'd like to bring up one extra point in favour of as much anonimity as you can get: What if someone bad knows you hold x BTC (or any altcoin). He knows crypto seedphrases are seldomly kept in a bankvault at the bank, but usually reside somewhere in your home. I wouldn't want somebody with a big baseball bat waking me up demanding the seedphrase of my wallet and threatening to hurt my daughter or my wife if i don't comply. This woke me up since I never thought this might actually be possible even though I don't hold that much crypto yet. Quote from: mocacinno on March 26, 2020, 08:13:44 AM KYC-exchange's databases get hacked on a weekly basis. If you don't cover your tracks, it's only a matter of time before some criminal close to you gets his hands on your address AND is able to track that you've withdrawn all your funds from the hacked exchange to the same wallet, and the funds never moved again... So he'll be able to conclude you hold x amount of euro's or dollars worth of crypto coins... Nothing is stopping him from using this info to rob you (violently if needs to be... He needs to find a piece of paper with some words scrabbled onto them, or he needs a password or pin to unlock your wallet... You need to be awake and afraid to give this info to him). If you try to give your KYC info to as little actors as humanly possible, and always use a mixer/coinjoin/anon coin to hide your tracks, it'll be a lot harder for a criminal to get your address... And if he has your address he won't know how much crypto you hold, so he has no clue if it's beneficial to rob you, or if it's a waste of time... Also, I never thought of the negative implications of KYC before also.

Quote from: KrisAlex18 on April 12, 2020, 08:25:51 AM Actually this topic is so redundant, I have seen so many topics similar with this one, if you want to know whether the topic is alresdy posted then you may use the search engine at the right top corner, you may search any topics related to your topic then if you don't see any one, then you may now post what you want. You may also post the same topic but make sure that you have added so much information or just improvement of the previous topic. If you want to read more about crypto world you may use this link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4928968.0 Not just in forums though, using search on a browser nowadays is a no-brainer convenience online (while lazy peeps still just had to ask before doing a quick search instead). Nonetheless, I also share the same sentiment wherein as mentioned earlier, the intention was at least admirable.

Quote from: LbtalkL on April 14, 2020, 05:54:01 PM If you have extra money that is ready to lose it is always good to buy Bitcoin either in bear or bull I think in the long run bitcoin price will be more higher. But if you are planning to invest the only money you have got, I don't recommend either long or short term, anything can happen in crypto in just a day so it is better not to enter crypto if you are not capable and be responsible in any decision you make be wise. I agree! I'm not ashamed to admit that I've had my own mistakes before and those things you've said are pretty basic suggestions but are on point. Newbies beware, take heed and listen to the wisdom of the more experienced (if you'd rather not lose what you've earned and worked hard for).

Definitely trying to make myself productive of the quarantine lockdown situation I have by catching up on my reading, aside from watching movies and going through my backlog of video games I haven't gotten the time before when life was still normal.

I'm not new to crypto but I'm new to mining instead. Although I've read a few articles about mining too, but never had the time or interest to actually mine since the general feedback I'm hearing is that it costs too much to mine and it ain't worth it nowadays unlike before. On that note, I'll try to take advantage of the quarantine we're required to do lately so I'll give myself some time to read and digest all the suggestions provided above. But for the meantime, is there a quick answer or feedback from those experienced with mining already, is it still worth getting into or not anymore?
