it's mtgox and the hacker's fault. it's not theirs.
That's a pretty resourceful hacker that has the skill to force thousands of bitcoin users, against 20 years of internet security advice, to use the SAME PASSWORD on every site. I tip my hat to him. i'm not saying it's not my fault, of course a lot of its my fault for having the same password. |

due to me loosing 0.22 bitcoin because idiots got into my mybitcoin account, i know have generated separate 15 char passwords with symbols for every account that I have remembered that I have. Saved an encrypted copy on my comp, and printed several out and hid them around my home. Am i going over the top?

Same thing happened to me. Very stupid of me. I caught the MtGox news a bit too late. By the time I had checked, the BTC I had with MyBitCoin had already disappeared! I have since then changed my passwords on almost any site I can think of to something considerably more secure (and varied for each account/usage). Thankfully I only lost 2.6 BTC. Sadly, that's still a good chunk of change for me right now. I do believe most of that was made through mining, so it's not a total loss. Anyone willing to help a moron recover some of his lost BTC with some donations?  In the extremely unlikely chance that you are, PM me! I'm changing all my passwords to... things like ' 5%[">s)Lv[tb{</"@5$D '. Also if anyone feels really sorry for me... 16cZnVNWt9xghpexsZdoqqKPUyqg2KpiYf |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / TipBit: profile page with bitcoin address.

Hello, A few days ago, I decided to try out myb.tc. It looked really good at first, but I soon realised that you had to pay  I know it's not much but, I decided to make my own site. So I came up with TipBit ( http://tip.b.it.cx), a kind of bitcoin profile/address page. You can sign up for free atm and have a profile with name/bitcoin address/infomation on. Your page url would be tip.b.it.cx/yourname. To see an example please go to http://tip.b.it.cx/calummc/ (my page!). You can also tip users directly with MyBitcoin by filling in the amount in the text box. I would like it if some people could check it out and tell me what they think. Calum |
