2-3 weeks to go until the first unboxing of a BFL ASIC?? MAYBE?

I collect my bitcoins on a dedicated laptop inside a VMWare image and backup the wallet and put that backup in another house.
Just in case if my laptop got stolen.

One thing I just 'love' is people explaining their security measures. A healthy dose of paranoia goes a long way with the back stabbing that goes on these days

That may be the most intelligent post I've seen from you yet.

Hey faggot, go back to coding and attaching trojans to your miner!

Wow, Your going STRAIGHT onto my ignore list
Ckolivas is the creator of the legendary CGminer, One of The Best mining programs out there, He publishses all source and is totally transparent about his product.
Your calling him a faggot, Thats derogatory considering that i doubt you know his sexuality, And he has not ever attached a trojan to the CGminer compilable files.
Everyone would see it!

Yup, Ive had this guy Ignored for awhile, I see no reason to change that anytime soon...

[deeplink]

I love you too, retards.

You just lost the little bit of respect you had left around here. Bye

[AndrewBUD]

yeah Substrata is quite the tool....


I refuse to ignore anyone though.... Who am I to hinder free speach,, even if it's spewed by a handicap.

[creativex]

Holy crap dood. With all the actual scammers running around here you're going to choose to attack someone that's contributed countless hours of work developing one of the premiere mining programs available? 

[dserrano5]

Will you please stop feeding the troll? Have you seen ckolivas wasting time on answering him? Just add him to the ignore list (or not) and go on!

If you only have a few bitcoins, then I wouldn't bother to take some extra security measure.
But if you already collect more than 1k like a lot people already have hoard.
I don't think it is wise to keep your wallet unprotected.
Why would the developers of bitcoin adding a encrypt funtion into the client if NOBODY going to steal it.

Boy, you all just got trolled hard.

[AndrewBUD]

I'm not trolling. This is serious debate, which is actualy not started by me, but ckolivas looking down on me. I just countered with truth.

The fact remains none of you really know ckolivas. The fact remains all he needs to do to steal countless wallets in future is to deploy
payload which can do theft in some future upgrade of his miner. Your anti-virus software won't even notice, since you have his miner on
exclusion list for years now, and possibly even forgot about it all. But it won't happen, right? "He is a very nice guy, and you are stupid!"

If you think it would be first time in history that people got scammed by someone who built trust with community-dedicated hard work
over prolonged period of time, than you're really dumb.

Those who didn't learn from past mistakes are destined to repeat them.

You read his code and found this? This is not a debate... You being called a moron is not debatable.

I had cgminer for a long time, the old version I downloaded. Never brought up an antivirus when I ran it.
Recently though after antivirus upgrade it started pointing out that cgminer has a trojan. I have a serious belief that someone on the big business market doesn't want you to run it.
I have downloaded the newer version of cgminer and nothing has been detected.
You can always compile the program on your own, or keep wallet off mining machine.

[AndrewBUD]

substrata is just butthurt about something.... Conman does great work... Keep it up....


a lot of things that we use get false positives in A/V programs....

[crazyates]

He does have a point about a large group of bitcoin users all using the same mining software. If that software is ever compromised, it could be disastrous. CGMiner is technically open source, but I never compile. I just download the 7z with the executable from his website.

However, I completely trust Con and the entire CGMiner team, and I stand by my original assumption that Strata can't get it up without trolling the forums first. Reminds me of Bulanula.

[crazyates]

You'll remember me as the guy with the most ignores on forum (ever), not scammer. 

You don't tell people how they'll remember you. People usually make that decision for themselves.

You mean those few % of users who know how to do it, and why should they do it?

I rest my case - it's all fine. Your wallets are safe. Cya!  

I am prob running different antivirus, but as much as I love the simplicity and overclocking possibilities of cgminer, it always freezes on me so I wasn't really able to run it.

You are right, not many ppl know how to compile, I am a Windows user and I love Linux. And many more of linux users know how to compile, or maybe it just seems that way.

I'll admit, I do not know how to compile software in Windows. Linux? Sure! And I'm not talking about Gentoo's Portage, either (which is my personal flavor of choice. PITA, but I love it).

I compiled once or twice in Linux. I wouldn't even want to try to do it in Windows, would seem to be more complicated.

You stupid fucking retard. The source code is posted so you can download, review, and then compile your own cgminer. The false positives have been fully explained both in the forum and in the README. If you do not trust the released binary executable version of the program than don't run it.

I would put you on ignore, but stupid people like you give me funny stuff to read each day.
