NEM (XEM) Official Thread - 100% New Code - Easy To Use APIs

[patmast3r]

If your account has been comprimised and you want the stakeholderlist to be corrected plz message me AND xtester in cc.
Also you can speed up the process by including a link to your original posting in the registration thread and a signed message/small tx from the addresss used for registration.
And please use the "Quote" function and not just "Reply". It's easier to keep track of the conversation that way.

Finally we did it. If you payed with bitcoins and did not lose the history, you can sign the message:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/18qy88/bitcoin_message_signing_and_verification/
and your stake will be returned.
Thanks to kodtycoon and patmast3r and to everybody! My friend is happy.

Please take note. This is only applicable for those who sent through the good old satoshi wallet. You may have to look at the other wallets from which you sent those BTCs from. They should also be some signing feature that you can use. For those of you who can also find your private key pair, you can actually import that into your satoshi wallet. I am not sure, but I believe that can be done too.


By the way, for those who haven't been using the satoshi wallet for a while since you last used it, do note that it can take a couple of days to synchronize with the network. Do start synchronizing now and not wait till the last minute. Please take all necessary steps as we draw close to the day.

Good luck.

Is there an estimate on how many people lost their accounts?

from people private mailing alone me I would say allot. Don't know yet how many will be resolved. Il post a report on the numbers lost v recovered at a later time.

That is pretty sad news for the community

[wegsturm]

Many paid with BTC and NXT for their stack. Maybe it's possible to authenticate people via their wallet address?

That's exactly what we've been doing

Yes. Though not entirely your fault, but still you guys should tip Patmast3r and gang for that extra hard work they are doing. He needs a rocket to fly to the moon, of course, with NEM pushing behind him. ;-)

[NoirSuccubus]

Too many people fell for this trick. There's lots of time being wasted here dealing with this account/stake reset crap, all could of been avoided if you guys were careful. If you have to suddenly re login while your browser session is already active, that should tell you something is wrong. You all are lucky he doesn't have some sort of behind the scenes java trojan installer hidden on the page. Its time to start being more careful, after all A LOT is at stake.. especially when we reach 1 NEM = $0.01.  

[patmast3r]

btw everyone can monitor the changes being made due to phishing.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ak91SD0veCeddDdmTkdaWV8zbHp2dWlodDVEVUItbXc#gid=7

In the stakeholder list all yellow marked accounts have been reported as compromised (resolved ones are not yellow anymore)
In the correction tab starting from row 38 are the resolved cases.

We've had multiple cases were people managed to change their pw in time as well so if you've fallen for the phishin pm, you can still try to change your password asap.

[xtester]

With all the phising discussion going on I think it's important to note that soon all this extra work regarding the NEM stakes will be over: once we finally launch and distribute the real NEM.

So hold on tight to your stakes and it's all gonna be fine. 

[wiser]

I agree about the need to be careful about phishing attempts. The reason I fell for it was because it just so happened that I'd recently cleared my browsing history (for something totally different), so I was expecting to have to log into all my open sites, including BTT. So I did. Fortunately, I figured out what happened and changed my password on BTT within five minutes, so don't believe my account ever got compromised. I'm going to change the password again just for good measure.

I appreciate the protection on the NEM dev side especially regarding the decision to not issue any stakes at this time. Hopefully everyone can recover their accounts who need to.

And be careful, everyone.

Looking forward to the launch

[dandruff1138]

I was not scammed but: I would like to point out, and thank, all the development team working on NEM as they are going out of their way to stop this scam and save peoples money when technically it is not their responsibility. Thank you. I am falling n love with this community more and more. I wish there was something we could do in return of your thoughtfulness.

[NEMergizer]

Changing your BTT account password is not enough. You have to consider changing the password of any other account were you used the same hijacked password. Including emails,Skype,....

It was a unique password, as in I only used it for BTT. The new password is also unique to BTT.

Is there anything else I should do?

One last thing you should do is to scan your computer multiple of times using different antivirus software. Cause there is a possibility that the hacker tried to exploit your browser when you visited his website. The possibility that this has happened is low, probably 5% to 15%. But it is still something to consider.

[patmast3r]

I'm wondering why the bitcointalk admins aren't doing anything. The phishing site using all styling elements like images and css from bitcointalk directly. There's gotta be a way to block that.

Hey everyone. I was working on an infographic for NEM this morning and thought I'd post it here for everyone to scrutinize. (Already posted on the NEM forums but possibly a different group of readers here who might want to see as well.)

Let me know what you all think. Still definitely a work in progress, just spent a few minutes on it this morning so feel free to suggest any changes or additions (or things to remove).

I'll just leave it as a link because it's quite large and I don't want to clutter up the forum with a giant image.

I loved your work. Very simple and very "understandable".

Maybe on Nem website (http://www.ournem.com/), we should have some works like this, showing some: Newbie, normal and very technical details of the coin.

Maybe we could have a serie of posts like this.

Gr8 work!

It is up on Facebook if you don't mind.  If you make changes we can take it down.

That's really appealing. Wonderful work Amy.

Long did the intelligent discussion of the problem "in tiny handwriting."
And was povitsya ogrmnym red font at the first sign of phishing: ATTENTION ALL! DANGER!
This is not a reproach, friends. This is something that we need to be ready.
