Bold Green Spam

Reported this spam and there is a new message.

You have reported 38 posts with 91% accuracy (30 good, 3 bad, 5 unhandled). Do not worry about your accuracy too much; one accurate report is worth many inaccurate reports.

I'd like to know the 3 bad ones though?

That is so obviously spam. I have 100% accuracy right now, let's see if I blow it by reporting this. I'm going to report it right now and I'll let you know what happens.

I'm reporting you post because it does not fit my agenda.

I now have 1 additional reported post and still 100% accuracy.

Just got a privacy update from Gemini https://gemini.com/privacy-policy/ .

Looks like they added this.

Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT ACT requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record Personal Information that identifies each person who opens an account. This federal requirement applies to all new customers. This Personal Information is used to assist the United States government in the fight against the funding of terrorism and money-laundering activities. What this means for you: when you open an account, we ask you for your name, address, date of birth, and other identifying Personal Information.

In addition, we are a global company and thus may conduct business and collect Personal Information from individuals and institutions located within the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

Well in your defense I only have 11 reports. I was just saying it to point out that when I flagged the same thing you did it worked for me for what ever reason.

[Globb0]

Me too I'm only reporting spammer and robots.

Still only 93%

I don't seem to get the breakdown.

There are people storing hundreds of thousands or even millions of USD value in XMR.  I am very glad the Ledger folks and the XMR devs are taking whatever time is needed to get this implementation right.  If you are not contributing to the code your complaints are hollow.

Ledger support is probably coming in the 12.1 release which is probably sometime this month.

Fully independent means not connected to the Mymonero site that has been compromised many times in the past, so thats a pretty easy question to answer. People are concerned about MITM on Mymonero (as they should be). Can it be pointed at a local DB without re-coding?

When was MyMonero ever compromised?

There has been cases of individual accounts getting hacked due to human error or malware infected pc, but I never heard of whole site being compromised.

I got an alert about a DNS affecting malware today. I suppose this type of thing can redirect you elsewhere without you knowing.

MyMonero uses HTTPS so your browser would give you a big scary warning if you got affected by something like that.

Should I be proud I got quoted by a spambot 5 posts up?  Reported.

Isn't there some way that malware can change the hosts file and/or use a self signed certificate to bypass that warning?

[Globb0]

If its a miscrafted url then the certificate would be irrelevant?

Finally covered one of my favorite projects for the @Crypto__101 audience. Big thanks to @fluffypony for taking the time to break down the important role $XMR plays in the evolving cryptoeconomy.

It has been theorized that cloudflare may have been involved but I don't think there was any real investigation done. There are a bunch of reddit posts you can find. Possible MITM attack, who knows there are member here who have lost a shitload and no they were not attributed to viruses nor human error.

Birr is one member off the top of my head who got screwed if you want to do a search.

Shit it could have been a sidechannel attack, who knows. Spectre or Meltdown is undetectable and could be run from a VM on the same machine so it could have been anyone that could even just rent a VM if they identified the machine. Or if they had access to the machine at all so anyone in that pool is suspect.

It's the gift that just keeps on giving.

#9th is undervalued, haha. When more people realise that Monero's privacy tech is the best out here we will see more action.

XMR pair on a new exchange with atomic swaps. How bullish is it for XMR? I like Monero way more than ZEC. ZCash had some issues with private investors and its incentives in general...

I've been trying to catch the bottom in relation to btc for a long time, but with such big fluctuations it's not so easy to do. Now I see a small drop, perhaps just now a very good opportunity to buy coins even more.
