NEON 0.1.1 released.

https://github.com/CityOfZion/neon-wallet/releases

Bugfixes:

Fixes the explorer bug, where links to the tx would always lead to the testnet (instead of the chosen network).
Allow filtering on the dropdown component, and fix a bug where using a backspace would trigger an error.
Allows NEP5 transfer to use the SC decimals, instead of a hard-coded one.
Fixes issues with NEP-5/GAS transfers.

Thank you for the update. Neon works great!

I haven't bought any tokens with Neon yet, but I will in the near future   

But I will be careful to not send Neo to any closed token sales...   

Better be smart than sorry. The Qlink ICO is over, even if Neon supports a function to participate in a token sale.

The new version of Neon supports a function to participate in a token sale (ICO). CoZ made it easy for Neo holders to send tokens in a toke sale event. However - this functionality is not disabled for tokens where the sale is over. This means if you send NEO today, thus after the ICO has ended, your tokens will be lost.
Here is an extract from the disclamer on the Neon token sale page: If you send NEO/GAS to a token sale that has already ended, you will lose your NEO/GAS and will not be refunded.
So better be smart than sorry.

Evrial Trojan Switches Bitcoin Addresses Copied to Windows Clipboard

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/evrial-trojan-switches-bitcoin-addresses-copied-to-windows-clipboard/


A new information stealing Trojan called Evrial is being sold on criminal forums and being actively distributed in the wild. Like most infostealing Trojans, Evrial can steal browser cookies and stored credentials, but this Trojan also has the ability to monitor the Windows clipboard for certain text, and if detected, modify it to something else.

First discovered and tracked by security researchers MalwareHunterTeam and Guido Not CISSP, by monitoring the Windows clipboard for certain strings, Evrial makes it easy for attackers to hijack cryptocurrency payments and Steam trades. This is done by replacing legitimate payment addresses and URLs with addresses under the attacker's control.

Evrial takes control of the Windows clipboard

Evrial's most interesting feature is that it will monitor the Windows clipboard for certain types of strings and replace them with ones sent by the attacker. This allows the attacker to reroute a cryptocurrency payment to an address under their control. While clipboard monitoring is common with programs like this, MalwareHunterTeam has told BleepingComputer that modifications are much more rare.

For example, bitcoin addresses are not the easiest string of text to type into a program or website. Due to this, when someone sends bitcoins to an exchange or wallet, they typically copy the address that the coins should be sent to into the Windows clipboard and then paste that address into the other app or site that is performing the sending.

When Evrial detects a bitcoin address in the clipboard, it replaces that legitimate address with one under the attacker's control. The victim then pastes that address into their app, thinking its the legitimate one and not realizing its been replaced, and clicks send. Now when the bitcoins are sent, they go to the attackers address rather than your intended recipient.

Evrial is configured to detects strings that correspond to Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, WebMoney, Qiwi addresses and Steam items trade urls.

Evrial steals passwords documents

In addition to monitoring and modifying the clipboard, Evrial will also steal bitcoin wallets, stored passwords, documents from the victim's desktop, and a screenshot of the active windows.  All of this information will be compiled into a zip file and uploaded to the attackers web panel ..............

Thanks for this info!  It's the first I've heard of it, and hopefully the anti-virus folks will have protection pushed out soon....

KuCoin – an exchange that is catching the radar of many traders as an option to go, is recommending that users step to a different coin altogether as a solution to complete the transfers. The choice would be NEO.

It is the first time we’ve seen a popular cryptocurrency exchange advise users against relying on Ethereum for withdrawals and deposits. This sets a very interesting precedent, although it is expected that this is a one-time event. The Ethereum developers have been working on major network improvements for some time now

When it comes to the team backing up NEO, Da Hongfei – the founder will be talking in Melbourne Australia on March 13 – 15 during the APAC Blockchain conference. The event is in a partnership with the Australian Digital Commerce Association (ASCA), the industry network for Australian businesses using blockchain solutions. The intention is to work together in order to spread the understanding of blockchain technology.

I once used Ehtereum for transferring funds and it was painful. It took a long time to arrive, more than 1 hour. If I'm Kucoin, I won't recommend Ethereum either.

I heard about it a few months ago. Protect yourself by manually verifying the address you pasted in. Verify the whole address, not just the 1st few characters as the program tries to match the address to yours (especially the 1st few characters). I think it has mainly targeted bitcoin addresses, but hackers are persistent.

With rising valuation of our coins, it pays to be a little paranoid especially when your coins are worth thousands of dollars. Better have a dedicated secured PC for syncing wallets, transferring to and from from exchanges and nothing else. Leave the browsing and gaming to your regular day to day  PC.

Just so you guys know, there has been a flood of lost funds and concerns from people using Ledger products, even from the creator of the NEO Ledger app. Support is insulting customers who complain.

I don't think ledger is unsafe to use at the moment, at least I sincerely hope not as I am a customer. However, the recent surge of similar stories of people losing funds, combined with these completely antagonistic attitude of the CTO combined with nonexistent support, and the total censorship of any attempt to crowdsource data on the issue, is a BIG RED FLAG. I hope people don't downvote this post thinking it's an attack on ledger, it's just a big problem with recent actions and hopefully things will be clarified and explained soon - or even better, the problem fixed. Hell, the NEO app developer already suggested a possible fix for the most common issue reported.

It was nice article to see NEO's smart contracts offers better solution for fund raising and other activities than Ethereum. It will be interesting to see what future holds for Ethereum's direct competitors which are going provide better solutions in more effective ways.

BTC has crashed in January for the last 3 years.

Maybe those with big gains skip a tax year by holding off on selling til the new year

Whatever the reason it has always rebounded to new highs.

Some day we will decouple from Bitcoin but for now we follow the leader

So Chinese NEO is a knock off of Putin's ETH? Very funny.

I wonder what american Ether is.

EOS turned put to be a 100% premined coin/ICO.

That is a good direction to follow because Ethereum transaction delays so, much this days and at  times needs
higher  gas price for even little transaction.

[winmon]

Think this coin will rebound well..... i especially like watching the gas bubble up, lol

Hey guys I posted this yesterday but no one responded I have a neo gas claim transaction that is still unconfirmed more than 24 hours later does anyone know why my gas claim is still unconfirmed? I sent two transactions after this and those were confirmed in minutes...
