"the war has acquired a powerful new ally in Chase, the largest bank in the U.S., which has enacted a policy restricting the use of cash in selected markets; bans cash payments for credit cards, mortgages, and auto loans; and disallows the storage of "any cash or coins" in safe deposit boxes."

Looking at it from another angle.  Chase, the largest bank in the U.S might be "cash short" if you know what I mean.  (Part of the ELB problem)

So the solution is use their political clout to 'discourage' the use of physical paper fiat ... cuz heck you still have to pay to make piles of it ... Chase much prefers slaves only use 'funny' blockchainless 'just trust us' digital money.

LOL ... yes "Legal Tender" is printed on the damn ticket ... but no you can not make payments for credit cards, mortgages, etc ...  I see massive class action law suit soon.


 
What does this signal to China, Saudi Arabia, Gemany and any other country literally sitting on a mountain of USD paper cash?

Strange situation on my computer, I don't know how this could have happened.  Someone has managed to transfer uno funds out of my wallet.  The wallet was locked with my passphrase.  The passphrase is long and complex, so I thought it was quite secure.  I noticed something strange about a week ago when the blockchain needed re-uploading from scratch.  I waited for it to upload (I don't use this computer much so it took about a week) and today discovered the wallet had been emptied.  The interesting thing is as far as I can recall I have not unlocked the wallet for quite sometime almost 6 months, so it most likely would not have been a key logger.  The amount taken was 93.79 uno, disappointing but not a major setback.  The machine will need rebuilding though which will be a headache.

Yeah not online with that computer all that much, but it was strange that it needed downloading again from scratch.

Sorry for your loss

 The most vulnerable moment for any hot wallet is the moment you enter your password!!! After that moment is the real exposure ! So my advice is :  After  every time you use password and finish your transaction -just go ofline  and change your password...So the password remain  virgin all the time! I think that is good practice.

 Of Course the cold storages is the best and also use VPN  is recommended!

Lol nice mang! That is a decent chunk!

[balu2]

Oh look, someone ordered the miningproduction for the next half year on cryptsy  

[FallingKnife]

It sure wouldn't hurt to put half of that over on Bittrex. If it fills it would help keep Uno above their annoying minimum volume thresholds.  Just a thought -- not tell ya where to trade.

It wasn't that long ago, really, that someone dumped 7 btc at 005 on me over there. I know people will move coins there and sell them if they see a nice a buy order.

Thanks to those of you who spread it around and keep our exchanges hopping.
Bleutrade is still one of my favorites and deserves a look. It's a nice platform, and you can also trade alternate pairs between any coins there (i/e UNO and HamRadioCoin, or whatever) .  They have a USD market there that I wish we were were all making better use of.

Cryptopia still has that "new market smell," but I really like what I see over there. I have some coins stocked there now, so don't forget to check them. Go and troll for for Uno in their troll box.

[IMZ]

@ Sabretooth: sorry to hear about that.

@ Blue Man: wow the order. Welcome to Blue Man, Legend to Be.

@ 'Hoovering': the project is alive and well. Just gettin' my timing right. IndiaMikeZulu is buying coin this week.

@ Edgar: the paper fiat thing? Hence my 'pre-apology.' There has been a slew of reports from a range of countries.

@ Cryptopia: "indiamikezulu: (Just now)
Hello from the Unobtanium crowd. We are promoting Cryptopia on our Bitcointalk thread."

@ Falling Knife: as I get better at Hoovering, it will add a little volume to Bittrex. A couple of times, I've 'worked my way' to Bittrex.

Always painful to have a personal system breached. A quite lookup Leeds me to believe UEFI offers no additional avenue of attack. A flat reformat should ensure the system is secure.

If your concerned about the build in recovery software you can always format the drive from an alternate OS and reinstal windows from the DVD instead of through the refresh system.

As for usb based Linux I would suggest http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=damnsmall DSL or https://www.freebsd.org/ FreeBSD. DSL was ewasy enough last time I used it and FreeBSD is spoken of highly though Ive never used it. Always felt like a lot of hard work and I didn't have a 'need' for it. Outside of those, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora or Slackware I suppose.

Sad to hear about your losses mate. hopefully someone might be able to track the coins.

Have you updated any drivers on this computer lately?

[Jelks]

That is strange !!! Uno  blockchain never take a week to upload! The Uno rockchain is very light.

You're absolutely right, the Uno blockchain should never take that long.

A week or two ago, I tried to install a software upgrade (TortoiseSVN FWIW).  The upgrade didn't take, tried it like 4 times.  But I needed my version control, so I did a System Restore to right before the first upgrade attempt.  Now System Restore claims it doesn't mess with your any of your "documents", but I guess the rockchain doesn't qualify as "documents", so it was like, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 4 months, 8 months (I don't remember) behind.  But it took maybe an hour, at most, to catch up.

And none of my coins were missing.

I smell a keylogger on the OP's computer.  And a UNO-savvy keylogger installer at that...

Guys is there a way to check exactly what happens in this case? Any suggestions?
The coins are gone,but must be scanned for keyloggers and other shit. It's good if we know what is the reason!

[IMZ]

Yes. Let us prevent this happening again.

There are too many ways for viruses and loggers to get on your computer, and AV scanners too often don't catch them. It is difficult to be safe, and most of us will be compromised some day.

They can be installed through software installs, browser exploits, by holes in "safe" software already on your computer, through misconfigured firewalls, by anyone who has access to the machine. They can jump airgaps with usb sticks.  And now reformatting computers doesn't always work because there are documented viruses that can write themselves to bios.

I still like paper wallets for cold storage of Uno and Btc.

Here's how a way to make cold wallets that reduces, but does not fully eliminate risk.
Find a computer that I don't use very often.
Boot it with a Linux live CD
Go to https://cryptap.us/uno/paperwallet.html
After the wallet generator loads in your browser,  but before you have generated the wallet, disconnect the computer from the internet.
Finish generating the wallet and then print it. Don't store the keys on your computer.
Go back online and send your Uno to the new paper wallet address.

It's not perfect but it's all about mitigating risk. The more inconvenience you are willing to suffer (i/e not being on the internet at al) the safer you can be.

I have kids that love to play computer and online games. They are always downloading "free games" and other crap and installing viruses & spyware on the computer in the process. I know this and so I just keep those machines on a separate network and never attach a USB drive to them. The kids are forever forbidden from using my main machine, and I lock when I step away.
