Warning!!! Check your pool cash out address

my cash out address at http://vert.bitcrush.info/ was just changed by someone about one hour ago, all my coins in the pool was cash out by someone.

Don´t use same user and pass on different pools

Yes I used different password on different pools
But used only one email address.

maybe some security issue with the frontend or just brute force.

is see bitcrush has now enabled 2Fa i hope more pool admins will do this!

Some payout addresses got changed. This happened on a lot of pools over the last few weeks.
There were several accounts (50+) using the same payout address. I've reset all of those addresses. Please add a new address if you are affected.

I’d advise using passwords you never use for anything else!

In order to enhance security I enabled 2FA (email confirmation) to change account details.
I also enforce a password minimum length of 12 characters containing at least on of the following characters: a-z, A-Z and 0-9
I also enabled mandatory https."

I should mention that heavy industries has always had 2fa enabled.

Sad that this bears repeating, even if it doesn't apply in shiren's case.

I'd have assumed that anyone involved in cryptocurrencies would be savvy enough to know better, but the endless "omg (x) coins stolen... what does 'encrypt wallet' mean?" posts you see around here seem to indicate otherwise.

Hello!

Im volunteering for translation of the website vertcoin.org to Portuguese.

I think would be nice to have it in several languages and I'm pretty sure that a lot of vertens would do it also

Also, would be nice to see the site updated with all of the new features of vertcoin. I see that there is a lot of effort on this coin and much new projects and features. It would be useful to have a place for all that.

Nice, please send me your Skype name via PM. I will talk with you.

I could do the dutch language if you are interested ?

So looks like Pandacoin blatantly ripped off VTC.

It's going to be a gorgeous pump n dump.  Hell, the launch is already a fiasco of premine/IPO manipulation bullshit.

I love how they're bragging that VTC's hash rates are dropping while their's are rising.  They don't seem to understand that Verters are simply taking a break while the top shelf is restocked and having a quick drink at the keg.

I agree. ALthough it looks like this Wolong character has quite the following.

My current strategy Mine MAX for profit and buy VTC alot easier and also easy on the machines and electricity since SHA-3 doesn't seem to be that intensive as VTC's algo

Same at vtcpool.co.uk, we have all possible security measures in place, even though this generates more support requests, security is priority number 1.

The 2FA is enabled, but for my case, it's failed. I don't know why. Even I myself don't know my email passwords.

Guys I have a technical question: how many GPUs can I deploy at maximum to mine VTC. Or what is the maximum MH/s one individual can bring into the network? If there is no maximum, couldn't anyone run some kind of industrial mining and gain major control (given he has the money)?

something is going on with the p2pool site and mining.. mine quit responding at 7am and now when I try to connect it says no/invalid address.

dumb question but where can i find the option on your pool ?
sorry for generating support

MINING POOL VTCWEB.POOLZ.NET IS BACK ONLINE!!!

We moved to DDoS-protected datacenter and hope that there will be no disruption of our service anymore!!!
Thanks to everybody who stayed with us!!!

vtcweb.poolz.net also uses 2FA!

There is no maximum.

What you're talking about is the 51% attack, google it if you're interested. There's no profit motive in investing money to crash a successful currency; on the contrary, anyone who could afford the hardware would be better served by mining legitimately. The more successful a currency becomes, the higher the hashrate, and the less viable the 51% attack becomes.

No maximum limit. Industrial minings are not interested in new coins.

Ok, just wanted to know whether I missed something on the technical side. Theoretically, this currency is also vulnerable, right? That there is no or limited incentive to do so is clear to me. Thx guys!

That's why we need a decentralization system. The best choice is GPU only coin, thus even a supercomputer can not crack the system.

Well, the supercomputer that managed to simulate a cat's brain (iirc it was some huge lab, IBM or Harvard idk) has several thousands of GPU's and is definitely able to break any GPU currency in early stage (even this one).

This address VhDQniRDXfNVQmDy7mNt7JNXGfG9gDyPQ9 seems to keep on stealing coins, how to stop it

At early stage, every coin can be cracked, no matter which type it is. CPU type coins are even more fragile. ASIC type coins are too centralized now. The only choice I can see is GPU only type. You see, even supercomputer only has thousands of GPU's. Once the GPU network is established, no one can crack it.

[BBristow79]

Anyone have any idea why pools get ddos attacked so much?

Is this coin warfare? Or some entity outside of coins?

Possibly even pool warfare?


Not throwing blame here just trying to understand why it's so rampant.
