[ANN][MOON] Mooncoin: You know where it's headed! KGW exploit FIXED 4/3/2014

Iv'e compiled the wallet myself.

Thank you, would you like to upload your Windows mooncoin-qt.exe file to sync.com or mega.nz to let people download it and compare with other Mooncoin compilations? Or could you please test it with VirusTotal.com and share results, does your wallet indicate false VirusTotal alarms of Bitcoin.Miner or not?


Edit: if you don't have the Windows wallet, it's not needed, as Mooncoin wallets, compiled for other platforms (Linux, Mac), don't indicate any alarms at VirusTotal.com.

I did not say you don't need to add nodes to make it work. What I said was that I "haven't had any problems with syncing or connecting to nodes" and I haven't.

As you can see in the screenshot below I haven't modified my mooncoin.conf file which contains the addnode info since Nov 20, 2014 which was when my old faucet website stopped communicating with my wallets and I tried to fix it.

http://prntscr.com/d4czjk

The nodes listed in my config are..
107.170.43.103
144.76.107.241
87.209.206.80
148.251.13.168

Thanks,
your mooncoin.conf file was last modified on November, 20, 2014, several months after an original dev had disappeared,
the 1.862.1 version which you use is a working version, but newbies have no idea how to add nodes, so they download the wallet, then whether check it with the VirusTotal.com and don't use, or just run it and see it's not syncing.

People often ask about the MOON wallet in the thread and sometimes it looks like an ideal Mooncoin wallet exists somewhere and all problems will be solved as soon as the wallet is found. 

Just to mention that: until you know what you are doing it's not recommended to have a mooncoin.conf file in your Mooncoin directory; in Dec, 2014 one person had reported he was hacked due to "server=1" in his mooncoin.conf file.
'RPC and Server=1 (and other related 'parameters') are not harmful when used properly. If an attacker happens to know the rpcuser/rpcpassword combination for a given wallet; in an environment where the logon credentials are re-used; he can potentially gain access to any of the wallets.'

What about including a config file in the install or possibly just zipping up the wallet files and offering it instead that way it already contains the information they need including an almost up to date blockchain. Once the exe is ran they would have to copy the zipped file into their roaming moon folder and would be ready to go with little time to wait.

None of the wallets I use now communicate with 3rd party servers in any way. In order for someone to gain access to any of my wallets they would need to first gain access to my computers which would be highly unlikely as all they are used for are hosting my wallets. Nothing is ever downloaded on them directly.

Payments from my various projects are all done manually. This ensures a minimum loss of coins and keeps the coins safer as only me and my wife have access to them.

That's definitely possible and thank you for your suggestion. An installer could copy all necessary files into the 'Roaming' folder so people even would not have to do that manually.
However it will not solve other problems with the original wallet, which are the outdated codebase and virustotal.com warnings.

For example, Dogecoin's codebase has been 'caught' up to the latest 0.12-0.13 codebase while https://github.com/mooncoin-project/mooncoin is the old 0.8 series.
Probably warnings refer to the outdated codebase, as the last Dogecoin wallet doesn't have warnings
https://virustotal.com/en/url/d3a974b099e21e05c94043111808e4b72db8b1721fe58ffe33170c2c163656ad/analysis/1477526557/
while an old Doge wallet had a Bitcoin.Miner warning at virustotal.com: https://virustotal.com/en/file/1b7660cc9eb118fdfe62068bc4941c3c16658d50df7c93bb2518bd79c9f2f46a/analysis/1477470833/

Of course we can stay with an outdated original wallet - it works, yes, but many potential Mooncoin users will avoid using it due to reasons described above (and the fact of these 91 billion stuck at Cryptsy disclosured that many people didn't use the original wallet to withdraw coins even when withdrawals were allowed),

or we can go further, to invite more developers, to compile the wallet with no virus warnings, to make an Electrum MOON lightweight wallet, mobile wallets etc.

An Electrum wallet would do wonders for MOON but whoever runs the server for it would have to be trustworthy beyond all doubt as they could shut the server down and those who don't know about private keys would have their coins stuck. Similar to the DOGE Electrum wallet that went under.

Do you know of any services which offer the Electrum service? Would be worth checking into.

The Electrum wallet 'needs a permanent place to live (serving the daemons/electrum instance doesnt mean the private keys are stored server side- security isnt an issue here); meaning it would need some contingency fund as an ongoing need (it also becomes a full mooncoin node)'.

What would happen if a server with a wallet was unavailable,
wallet is retained client-side - person would only be not able to access the funds until server is back up.

But users always can export their private keys from electrum and reimport to full wallet if need be (very simple process) - so definitely people will not have their coins stuck in that case.

Ah you misunderstood me, by 'those who don't know about private keys' I was referring to those that don't know they can transfer coins by importing the private keys into a new wallet. This was a big problem when the DOGE electrum wallet went offline, a lot of people didn't know how to retrieve their coins when it happened.

Have they retrieved them finally?

That's definitely a problem when people don't know how to import private keys,
on the other hand it's not so critical problem, as in case with Cryptsy for example.

The DOGE people were very helpful and created a lot of help documents after it became an issue that guided people on how to get their coins back.

far out.. i swear the world of cryptocurrency never stops, have only just loaded the sources up on github:

https://github.com/barrystyle/electrum-moon
https://github.com/barrystyle/electrum-moon-server



i posed this to Mooncoin_Foundation about a week ago; nothing like an early release
no binaries just yet - however if you're keen, obtain python 2.7.11 and a copy of git, at the command line run:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/barrystyle/electrum-moon.git
cd electrum-moon
python electrum-moon

Thank you for making the Mooncoin lightweight wallet, great news!

[metamorphin]

Great work...but its not fair, that you always work with these old thread only for collecting pages!

It's pure poison, to let new interested ppl searching tons of pages to find the actual infos they need.

You have no control over the old crap of the ANN...you really dont know the power of a control over the ANN to change everything nonrelated!

You're absolutely correct.
Many people have voted for a new Mooncoin thread.
It will be started in November-December, when the lightweight wallet and the ML platform are completed.

Perfect...let me know something about it, and I will promote of course the new ANN!

We discussed that before: to give away moonlite bonuses to Bitcointalk users.

There is an idea to reward members of our community with moonlite  bonuses for their activity in the Mooncoin thread.
The script can count how many posts each user has published in the Mooncoin thread and calculate
proportionally the amount of bonuses that will be initially distributed (free of charge) amongst members of the Mooncoin community.

[polemarhos888]

Good morning from Greece ! I think that the moonlite bonuses are a good idea .

Good morning from Greece ! I think that the moonlite bonuses are a good idea .

There are thousands of Mooncoin holders, but unfortunately people are inactive.
Maybe giving away moonlite bonuses can motivate users to post more often.
The more active is our ANN thread, the more visible it is for new users, everyone will benefit from it.

How many MoonLite could i have?

Obviously more than anyone here, you're the most active user in this thread,
and there will be not all ml bonuses you'll have,
there is an idea also to give away ML bonuses to people who
1) have coins stuck at Cryptsy
2) have Mooncoins in their wallets.

Any suggestions on how to reward with Moonlite bonuses,
e.g. how many for coins stuck at Cryptsy, how many for keeping coins out of exchanges in personal wallets
and how many for being active in the Mooncoin thread?
Please everyone share your opinions now,
it's necessary to decide that before starting a new thread.

Did anyone try to get the mooncoins from the Florida court proceeding about the cryptsy matter?  If so what was the result?
