[Chrome plugs - suspects]

Attacker remoted in, see above.

Launched crib sheet in FireFox for total export of Chrome saved passwords

I had attempted to hit print, but I had pulled out the network cable...

The interesting next is where they had been locally on Chrome

NOTE: They are straight after my localbitcoins account...

Fortunately everything is 2FA apart from Amazon because in the UK they don't yet offer 2FA, but they have in the US like AWS services.
And my domain registrar. 123-reg - "arseholes".

Advice sort on finding the hole.

Suspects:

• teamviewer - nothing in logs
• Reverse VNC - unable to find logs

Chrome plugs - suspects

• Chrome Remote Desktop - not used for several month
• Splashtop - unable to find logs
  
• BitBrowser Bitcoin Wallet

My only get out of jail card. Keepass left not open....

Any advice to track how it happened appreciated.

Hi,

I trying to generate a nice random SEED phrase with a dice and several steps to get to:

electrum make_seed --entropy=13837166324271007511266747237152016797971056575940541277777369348077195841417

It will generate a SEED PHRASE

Question:

If the SEED phrase is more than 13 words is this OK or will it cause compatibility problems in the future?

Cheers Mark

Hi - I think this page may need updating, the current prompt doesn't the word restore. So very confusing for the newbie. - Cheers Mark

How to make offline transactions using your Master Public Key

Get an offline computer. This can be a physical device or a separate installation on your current computer. I would advice a Debian installation with encrypted home folder for extra security.

[Offline PC] Install Electrum via a USB-Key.
[Offline PC] Create a new wallet. Write down the seed and memorize it, after which you should probably destroy the seed or keep it safe in a lockbox.
[Offline PC] Go to Settings -> Import/Export and copy your "Master Public Key" and put it in a text file on your USB-Key.
[Online PC] Install Electrum and select Restore in the dialog box shown on the first start up, use the "Master Public Key".
[Online PC, existing Electrum installation] See below how to make Electrum to restore or open alternative, non-default, wallet.

According to wikip.

A tally (or tally stick) was an ancient memory aid device used to record and document numbers, quantities, or even messages. Tally sticks first appear as animal bones carved with notches, in the Upper Paleolithic; a notable example is the Ishango Bone. Historical reference is made by Pliny the Elder (AD 23–79) about the best wood to use for tallies, and by Marco Polo (1254–1324) who mentions the use of the tally in China. Tallies have been used for numerous purposes such as messaging and scheduling, and especially in financial and legal transactions, to the point of being currency.

The split tally was accepted as legal proof in medieval courts and the Napoleonic Code (1804) still makes reference to the tally stick in Article 1333.[4] Along the Danube and in Switzerland the tally was still used in the 20th century in rural economies.

Thoughts please?

Hi,

Which vote makes Bitcoin more susceptible to price manipulation and why?

And will the peaks and dips be more frequent / deeper as a result?

Cheers MX

Hi,

Is anyone else having similar problems.

I've googled this company and it's supposed to help companies not cripple them!

Are bitstamp being DDOS'd?

Hi All,

What is the UK tax position on Bitcoins gained through mining?
Are they a dividend? And where is the tax valuation, at appointment (issue) or sale?
And if I bought rights to acquire these Bitcoins, is the initial payment as if I had bought shares, in that I could sell this right to another person?

What is the importance of the email?

Can it be a public facing one?

Bitcoin is in hyperdeflation
Bubble or not, the underpinnings of Bitcoin pose problems to its use as a popular currency.

Hi,

As Bitcoin is generating so much press at the moment, what about a International Bitcoin day? Like the some of the free software movement giveaway days.

But instead it would be just a simple double-side A4 printout PDF. Perhaps get the folks from http://bitcoinmagazine.com to produce it?

If the idea is liked, it would need:

• A little central PR discussion here [what should be in it / copywriting / translations / graphics / test printing]
• PDF generation
• NO WEBSITE [unless some mad person is offering - just have for more information in the PDF, to point to http://bitcoinmagazine.com, less work and no long term maintenance]
• Country coordinators to maintain a list of educators [they get published here and each town can have a customised PDF]

I personally like the idea of an .ODT Open/LibreOffice document that is three quarters the master, then regionals can download it and fill in State / County educators.

It maybe if regionals can try hard enough they can get sponsorship to pay for large scale printing. In fact I maybe able to persuade my IPR solicitors/attorneys to pay for the print run in Devon, GB.

Caveat: I have no connection with bitcoinmagazine.com

Hi,

I'm trying to get my head around Ripple (XRP) - I've found some good links on bitCoin magazine referencing how to BTC->XRP

http://bitcoinmagazine.com/ripple-getting-started-guide/

http://weexchange.co
But unfortunately when I tried it yesterday I couldn't get it to work and their support tickets are being answered :-(

Are there others that actually work?

Surely the strength of Ripple depends on lots of regional weexchange.co type sites which deal with local financial regulation?
[Could people please clarify this one?]
