It does appear it would stop a lot of the most common attacks that take place around here when it comes to mtgox.
Now if an attacker has control of the mysql db as well as possible write permits to the file system.. I do not think a yubikey
will matter much.

he spent 17000 BTC bailing out Bitomat.  he could've just let them and their btc holders die on the vine and he would've been better off than buying a worthless exchange.

I have to say one more thing. It is not right to bail out some (because they are a staff member on Bitcoin forum etc.) ans let others that get hacked for different reasons get nothing. This sounds to me like what the Federal Reserve did and are doing today, they bailed out friends/banks with trillions of dollars of interest free/low interest money and let "Main street" take the hit.

I believe that fraudulent EV certificates were issued.

Asking once again. Do you use a Yubikey on Mt.Gox?

-a third party is engaging in a cyberwar against bitcoin using man in the middle attacks.

Hello,


Recently there has been a large increase in the number of “phishing” attacks that have been made against the users of Mt.Gox.

Phishing involves deceiving users through fake emails or websites into providing their user name and password to the phisher, who then uses this information to log into the account and withdraw as many funds as they are able into their own bank account.

Phishing is another form of Internet crime similar to hacking which has steadily become more prevalent with the increase of Internet banking, shopping and exchange services. We urge our users to be cautious of phishing attacks, not only when accessing Mt.Gox but when providing any personal information over the Internet.

While the following steps cannot protect users completely from phishing, they will ensure that any attempt to steal personal information is far less successful:

-Always check the URL in the address bar of your browser when logging into Mt.Gox. It should read “https://mtgox.com”.
-Never click on hyperlinks in emails to access Mt.Gox.
-If you are ever unsure of the veracity of an email’s contents, contact Mt.Gox Support. We will be more than happy to confirm whether or not the email you have received is authentic.
-Be aware that Mt.Gox will never contact you by email asking for your user name or password.
-Check the security certificate of the website you are logging into. In modern browsers, this can be done by looking at the address bar and checking whether or not a blue certificate appears to the left of the address.
-Mt.Gox will soon implement the VeriSign EV Authentication certificate, which will make the address bar turn green when you are accessing the real Mt.Gox website.
-Use anti-virus software at all times. A number of anti-virus programmes include anti-phishing features which will notify you when you are accessing a suspect website.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience our users have suffered at the hands of phishers, and are doing all that we can to prevent further attacks in the future.

Thanks,

MtGox.com Team

At this moment, I'm questioning if DiabloD3 really posted this thread, I smelll something fishy here.
Maybe the forum (or DiabloD3 account) is compromised again.

my bet is Diablo has had his forum acct hacked.  look, he puts up an OP then refuses to elaborate?

this could be a new tactic from the banker/gov't trolls lurking here to combat Bitcoin.  an "allten" guy here is advocating clearing out your mtgox accts as well to force an audit which makes no sense if he really was concerned about bitcoin or mtgox as it would cause a bank run like event killing mtgox.

You do realize its easy to not act like a responsible moderator on these forums, right?  Take my advice, resign as moderator.

My 5850 has been steadily cranking out almost exactly 390MHash/sec at 940 Core/330 RAM running Phoenix with phatk 2.2.. I just discovered that by opening, not even running, CrystalDiskMark that my MHash rises to 395MHash/sec!! Is it just somehow interacting with the timing code that calculates the speed or am I actually getting 5 more MHash!? I do have a Dell PERC/4e PCIe RAID controller in the computer though, maybe a PCI-Express bandwidth/timing thing?

This is probably the strangest thing I've had happen with this computer, no other software causes this.

Did you create cgminer or not? I believe you should treat everyone same and help to improve your software.

The only thing you confirmed was that your logs were reporting things sanely. The actual on-the-wire packets confirmed you were sending me dead shares.

If Eligius doesn't tell you it's allowed, it isn't: forcefully rolled shares will be rejected outright.

Last I checked, DiabloMiner had bugs in its rollntime implementation, and Diablo-D3 stubbornly denied they existed (thus refusing to fix them), so I blacklisted it from using it. Specifically, with rollntime enabled, DiabloMiner is somehow confusing its work and when it expires, and sending shares against work older than 2 minutes, even after it has received new work. If Diablo-D3 has fixed this, and someone is willing to do some real-time testing to confirm it (on IRC), I'd be glad to remove it from the blacklist...

Latest DiabloMiner sends X-Mining-Extensions header as "longpoll rollntime switchto". This is not recognized by eligius and rollntime is disabled for this miner.

Hi Diablo,
I have a Radeon 6670 running on Win7-64bit and after i upgraded the Catalyst to the last version (11.8 from 11.6) my hardware errors reported are between 20% and 25% and the CPU usage is 40% to 50% (before was under 10%).

Any idea what should i do or where i should look for some info?

Thanks.
edit: forgot to mention that i use the default configuration (launched the .exe using only with the -o, -r, -u and -p options).
