YaCoin Investigation

[seleme]

Not really well orchestrated... it was very amateurish and included 2-3 guys at most.. some of those accounts are operated by same person, they used perfectly same style and had same english level.

And even whole idea was amateurish, you can't do that on forum filled with lot of geeks. It can last for half an hour but that's nowhere near enough to fulfill your plans.

Looking at the transactions on the blockchain, I noticed all of the addresses that sent bitcoin to 1RPrtamTACe1TcqkX2FmWVtRzmQJ6CfRx received funds right before they were "stolen". Ofc, I haven't checked all of them, but will check a few more to be sure.

THIS IS NOT REAL.  Not one legitimate person has shown any proof. I've looked at every host file, data source, etc.. and there is nothing malicious about the YAC files from when they were released.  If you downloaded from somewhere else than that might be different.  The original links are perfectly fine.  STOP LYING.

+1, only 1 screenshot was posted and that only showed that there was 'something' detected. No one has given any screenshots of transactions out of any of there wallets.

I think this was just a well orchestrated FUD against YAK

Round 1: +10 for YAC   and....  -1000 for FUD dudes

Obviously YAC is causing a stir and people desperately want in--- Just mine it foo!  Mine them Yacs!

I'm still waiting for an online merchant please start accepting so I can buy some stuff?

Someone should send https://cookies4coins.net/ an email, eh?

I can confirm "cpuminer-scrypt-jane-win32.zip (modified minerd to mine yacoin on multiple computer)" does not talk to the given host below, at least not within the first 30 minutes.  Ran it with wireshark and  a filter of ip.dst == 31.170.160.169

host bitcoin-ticker.netne.net
bitcoin-ticker.netne.net has address 31.170.160.169
bitcoin-ticker.netne.net mail is handled by 0 mx.000webhost.com.

nocompare / Jr. Member / Posts: 14 / yacoin developers are a bunch of crooks, steals 900 BTC

I am quitting bitcoin.. Lost bitcoin in bitcoin 24.. lost bitcoin in blockbet.. NOW SOMEONE HACK MY WALLET

He lost BTC on bitcoin-24? Strange... I got my BTC(20.50) from Bitcoin-24 less than 24 hours after having requested them when he reopened the exchange to allow withdrawals.
Not buying a word of what that dude says.

if i was a betting man, i'd put my money on the oversized "antivirus free" minerd.

Betting on irony?

Themida ("protection software") is used intentionally as a code obfuscator, preventing detailed analysis of the binaries. Hence, the suspicion.

[Viceroy]

why are there two threads?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202089.0

should not both OPS work together to make one post?  or lock one sticky the other?

stop all the fud.

It is not exactlt FUD! See here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=200147.msg2109275#msg2109275 that bugger Limitless did it!

WOW dude you clearly have some kind of agenda against Limitless, you wont listen to anything anybody is telling you about the thread, Limitless started the thread with a link to a well know github repo not compiled binaries, other people posed binaries in the thread, in what universe is the OP responsible for what random people do on the internet.

[Vycid]

Something to make perfectly clear:

There is absolutely no reason to suspect anything other than minerd at this point (and the evidence so far is fleeting). Yacoind is fine.

[limitless]

ehh why would you suspect minerd..

[Viceroy]

This thread is proving to be interesting:
