Alternative Block Chains : be safe!

[coin41193]

Thank you Gavin.

The only things I might add is that "use a different password" isn't limited to exchanges, but applies to forums, emails, and even pools Wink , and that some antivirus heuristics seem to hate anything that has mining code in it and isn't explicitly whitelisted.

Please use a different password to protect your information and I have also done so
Thank you Gavin. Hope you better protect your information.

Research should always be done on the coins/ico's you choose to invest in.

Thank you for the advice sir. I will follow all your advice just to make my account secure. I'm a newbie here and i need more ideas and advice just to understand the blockchain. Hoping someday that i will understand all about crypto currency and to contribute in this community.

Always make sure to DYOR, Do your own research before making an investment of any kind.  It's your money,  be smart about it!

I agree with you. I am very careful with these kind of things. It is difficult to save your data properly. The antivirus systems aren't things you should economize for!

Yeah, you are right, these things are too scary... I am trying to imagine how those people felt in this terrible situation. Poor guys

I'd like to remind everyone that Gavin, with all due respect, is not an angry   deity and can neither drown people he vaguely disapproves of nor feed them to the lo(l)custs.

Generally, if you have a large amount of bitcoins on a given PC, being extra-cautious about third party software (be it an Alt-coin client or a particularly fancy casual game) is advisable.

After years later, this advice still more important than before! So many blockchains and smart contract being developed as we are now in ICO era, some ICOs dont have that much technical knowledge (basically which based on smart contract) to protect their investors assets. Beware is a message that we must stick with, the more we ahead forward to this technology the more phishing scam will happen and we must be that knowledgeable to protect ourselves.

Good advice.

Using an alternate cryptocurrency client would be a great way to get many people to install a hidden virus that targets Bitcoin users.

If you have a significant amount of Bitcoins, I wouldn't run other clients on the same computer until the alternates have developed trust over a longer period of time... I'm probably on the paranoid side of things though.

These new cryptocurrencies are interesting, and it will be fascinating to see how it will all play out. 

I agree, recently I have started to read some articles and follow the changing in rates of the new cryptocurrencies. I hope there will be placd for them in future.

My opinion the Block Chains is very safe because it is hold of ICO and the value is very estimate the others create a block chain and the result is shit coin because it is not proven and limited ex changer i hope the Block Chain is good in the future.

I have heard of oneCoin who has a private blockchain I feel sorry for people when I hear that they ha invested in oneCoin. The point is always ensuring safety in all transactions. There are alternative block chains really are coming out and many altcoins are also out in ICOs and Airdrops, but this things are always at our own risk

I heard about alternative block chain . I think there will safe our investment . don't invest in one coin and one block chain. if there is alternate then go for it  It will be safe.

[dress]

Alternative chain blocking, they are now beginning to gain increasing popularity possibly due to the fact that Bitcoin has really become an unstable coin ..

[Omnopon)]

I think that now many people in the crypto community try to just make money without any understanding of what a crypt is and how everything is arranged .

[AshdiD22]

I think that if a person who does not understand anything at all in programming and mathematics is very far from cryptocurrency, Satoshi's document will not help much.
