THE RISE AND RISE OF MONERO

[dinofelis]

Ok here is a question to the Monero development team. I am not a coder nor a technical person. What is the RPC mode there for and what can I use it for as an ordinary user?

I ask because a possibility of someone controlling your wallet remotely should not be taken lightly.

I'm not (at all!) in the monero development team.  And apparently (and happily) I was wrong on the RPC function to be enabled by default, which makes this vulnerability much, much less severe.

RPC is actually allowing instructions over the network, a bit like if you were "in the application interface".  Now, the "network" can be limited to the "local machine".  This is strange at first sight, but it means that certain applications on the local machine can do "network calls" to the other application that has RPC.  The local network has IP address 127.0.0.0.  It is not accessible from outside.  So you would think that RPC calls ON THE LOCAL MACHINE to itself, are no problem.

The vulnerability is that a browser executing code in a web page, IS on the local machine, and CAN do local network calls.  So the web page can contain network call instructions to the local machine and hence, push instructions to every RPC application that listens to them.

Usually, you can protect network access with a password, but sometimes people don't do this on the local machine, as they - erroneously - consider that the local machine is safe.  The point with web browsers is that they execute code from a foreign web page on the local machine, and that's the loophole that is exploited here.

So you are in danger if:
1) you have activated the RPC function in your wallet without password
2) you have opened your wallet
3) you use a web browser on the same machine while having opened your wallet visiting a page that contains these instructions

The Monero is less than 50% of the peak value. Is there any possibiity that it will reach all time high soon?

Probably not, but you should ask this in the speculation thread for better answers.

The all time Monero chart has ZERO support zones. It will slowly decline back to 1-1.50 USD over the next months. What's worse is now in order to create a double top on the long term it has to hit its ATH which we all know was a pump and dump dark net scam. Monero market is game over because slow and steady is only way to make sustainable price.

First off... how dare you even talk... you could have made lots of money with one of your 0-Day vulnerabilities if you shorted at the top, you still did not proof that so gtfo liar. Secondly there is no slow and steady in anything that has a market made of 90% speculators, not ONE SINGLE Cryptocurrency.

sssst, don't make johnnyboy angry, he's gonna use one of his 12 found 0-day-vulnerabilities any moment now... Really, any moment now!

djeezes, these people get more pathetic by the day, really John, you gonna start with amateur-hour-TA now? The horde of trolls and whining fudsters xmr is attracting nowadays...

Monero is the best anonymous crypto currency in the market right now and the dev team is expecting more bust in the future by people doing illegal purchase with bitcoin and it will boost monero even further

That is so funny but I do not buy it, Monero might be down right now but it will not last forever, and upon seeing on the price it is just back to its normal price months ago, so since we have reach to 0.02 level for sure we will be back here in a short period of time.

Monero price tend to rise, it didn't take much longer to reach the highest price as of september ago. Only in 24 hours has gone up more than 12%, it's time to go on purchase this coin and I sure the price will continue go up again.

[J1mb0]

ROFL. All cryptos with decentralised local nodes (90% out there), including Monero, can utilise RPC for control. It isn't enabled by default  - you need to configure conf file with RPC settings. If it is set up properly, RPC is no less secure than operating via a gui or console cli. It's down to basic network security.

All these Monero threads are like Groundhog day!

I would actually wait a day or two before buying, personally.
Being listed on Bittrex is no reason for Monero to go up 10% in my opinion.
Price has a good chance of dropping at least a few percent by the weekend.

However, I'm almost 100% sure Monero is a good long-term investment.
If any coin can be Bitcoin 2.0, its probably Monero.

Monero cant be Bitcoin 2.0, that are other coins that fight for that title.

Monero is just more Bitcoin 1.0 as Bitcoin itself.
