some of you will know this already but a lot wont because this isnt a blackhat forum so i will tell you, ready made remote admin tool or wallet stealer are free and costs only $50 to buy equipment to make the virus undetectable for a couple of days, virus gets hidden in the real file and av will never detect it, if dev wants to infect you and isnt a complete moron he will succeed
scanning on virustotal doesnt prove shit and encrypting your wallet doesn't do shit because as soon as you type in the password the hacker will get it either from logged keystrokes or watching your screen in real time
its better to keep new alts on pool or exchange or on different computer to the one with your btc/ other wallets you care about
Yeah, in the world in which we live, especially in this "no trust" environment, what it all ends up coming down to, once again, like it always does, is trust. You've got to trust your devs. There's just no other way around it. And being smart and not keeping wallets (hot or cold) on any machine that's not defined as a secure and trusted machine. Even then, I keep my wallets on 2 *dedicated* USB and an external DD to boot. I still think this is the best How To on the practice that I've seen. http://www.cryptobadger.com/2013/05/guide-bitcoin-wallet-security/BTW, on another note, looks like the difficulty after PoS is progressively rising.  With that in mind, we'll soon start working on a paper wallet generator. Yeah, maybe we'll get lucky blocks, soon! |

Ok so if were going to get added to cryptsy then we need a big PR push. The biggest selling points for aidbit imo is the wallet miner with pools and the groestl POW/POS algo. If were going to be the most transparent coin then we need to have updates both here and in the subreddit on a regular basis so were covering different avenues. Push the coin in the cryptocurrency subreddit too. Time for some guerrilla advertising  Community activity has a huge influence on the adoption process. |

http://help.comodo.com/topic-72-1-451-4739-Run-an-Application-in-the-Sandbox.htmlBut, is it possible to have multiple instances, i.e. save separate configurations with this? Everything that runs within the same sandbox would know about each other, correct? And then we also have the tried and true answer, which is to use Linux . . . but now there's AV software for Linux too.

One of the devs needs to make an announcement about this coin in this subreddit with lots of details about user end benefits of the coin. http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/they have about 14k subscribers and its a great place to make people aware of the coin, its development and the growth potential. |

"10% of each block reward goes to a special charity account
No premine* (3% of each block reward goes to developers) – To provide stable backbone on launch, (pools, block explorers, website integration, etc...), due to the system's design, a few hours premine at diff 1 may be necessary. Every coin premined will go to charity. "
Any charity yet or still working on it? If I missed it through your website, I apologize, please advise, nothing really transparent though atm.

I really don't know how much one can reasonably expect from a juvenile social network dedicated to "tipping" one another with worthless alt-coins. If you want to get some sort of projected idea as to future growth that might come from time and effort spent on targeting the social networks, all you'd have to do is look at other cryptos' past results in doing so. Uh, that's a big zero.Why insist on doing what's proven to be a loser for everyone. (The definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing expecting a different outcome . . .) ------------------------------o------------------------------ If you're a short termer looking to make a quick buck, there are lot's of pump and dumps out there to choose from. If you're looking for a long term investment that will yield a great long term reward as it steadily turns into one of the few real cryptocurrencies in the world, then put your feet up and relax. ------------------------------o------------------------------ First things first - the base product: a world class coin, wallet and network. Do that and the world will beat a path to your door. Everything else is icing on the cake. ------------------------------o------------------------------ One idea for the third aspect of the base product was suggested by Kayahoga in a brainstorming session we were having on the DigiByte thread not too long ago, and if I were to invest time and energy into what at this point in time would still be too early to really call a publicity campaign, this is the direction I would move in. It would really be a fantastic way of connecting with, and bringing AidBit to, a humongous group of computer literate, already equipped, potential miners/network nodes. Check it out: I mean, even if you started with casual gamers ( which more than likely have somewhat of a decent video card ) you could get them to be mining in the off hours. Especially since we will be using Groestl, the cards wont be sucking huge amounts of power or making a ton of heat.
I honestly don't know why people haven't done this already. Can you imagine paying for some marketing that would get posted to just a tenth of the League of Legends players? In January they had almost 67 million people play that game. Or the pro streamers, if we could get just one of them to talk about it, that would reach tens of thousands of players. Especially when the streamers do guides, they often have sponsors. I would be more than happy to mine if I knew it was going promote the coin on a twitch stream.
If you go to http://www.leagueoflegendsstreams.com/home/stream right now there are over 18000 people watching Phreak stream League of Legends. Even if you had one of the other players that aren't as popular but still have a good following ( say Trick2g ) , they usually average around 7-9 thousand viewers during peak hours. That's a lot of people that more than likely don't know about Digibyte or crypto currency in general. You create a script for them to read, give them all the information and after one of their guides or during a break have a commercial or something that would have a short plug for digibyte, how to start the 1 click miner and where they can spend their currency ( Digi-pay ? ) . Now that's a serious idea aimed at serious end users.  |

I rechecked MD5 hashes and are the same. They should be, since we're using the same grs-sgminer: sgminer.exe -> 0e971cdbb0b581ad527c53a8a9f1869d pthreadGC2.dll -> ac05fbba61f939cd90133032f2595c69 ssleay32.dll -> 612b2747d39d9ef838ab9eacbc1f6c3a zlib1.dll -> e4d7dd0a413519b21621ccb7d1d78fa4 Cheers, V. |

I suspected as much. The only thing I can think of to 'explain' why one is flagged and the other isn't is the mere fact that the second is "bundled". How to rectify this? I don't know of a quick answer to that other than contacting the particular AV maker who is flagging the bundled miner (or at least the biggest and best known, like Norton, for exaple). This is a real issue for people who aren't crypto literate, which translates into just about everyone.  |

Of course, if you're going to go after a 67 million target audience of new users, you've got to be prepared before doing so. The last thing you want to do is shoot yourself in the foot, and until the download and miners are free of AV red flags, shooting yourself in the foot would be precisely what you'd be doing by trying to expand prematurely. The current base product needs work on those issues before moving on towards network expansion (perhaps by contacting AV makers and/or making very clear what the issue is on the download page with precise instructions included).
Hey, hey, hey, BTW, has anyone noticed how the network hashrate has fallen dramatically? Of course you have. Have you linked it to something in particular? Some certainly have, others tentatively, others perhaps not.
My theory is based on the fact that the drop in network hashrate correlates perfectly in time with the inclusion of AID on c-cex.com . Don't get me wrong, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with the exchange itself, rather it has everything to do with actually being on an exchange. The short termers have seen a real life price and have already abandoned ship! This should be interpreted as good news since the glass-is-half-full perspective says that the remaining 20 plus miners with our 600 MH/s of hashing power make up AidBit's solid, long term base.
That's fantastic news that means that we can move forward without unnecessary pressure and hurries, focusing on the priorities as they really matter for long term success and without getting unintentionally sidetracked.

We feel it's still to early to start any serious marketing campaign. We need to cover the basics first which are: stable network, safe and as simple selling and buying experience and easy to understand instructions for every operation concerning AidBit. At the same time we need to start with our humanitarian endeavors, contacting humanitarian organizations and preparing methods for assuring transparency. Thank you, AidBit |

This is a real issue for people who aren't crypto literate, which translates into just about everyone. Actually, the miner is not even bundled any more. Installer downloads it as a separate self-extracting 7zip file. The next thing I'll try to do is sign all files with code signing cert. It should improve the score by some margin. |

So the focus for the time being will be on user experience and stability. Cryptsy will come to us instead of the other way around  If we build it they will come. There is something I would like to know about the POS interest thing. I saw you added different maturation time frames and that's very good. What I would like to know is what are the payout differences between say holding coins for 2 years vs holding coins for 4 years? and how much aid does it take to actually start earning stake? |

I was also wondering about how that works too . . . and haven't had time to do much research on the subject. My main question that I like to add to yours is if interest is compounded and, if it is, on what basis (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly?). Do you stake more staking every 7 days? Or would you stake the same if you only staked one time in one year? Or once every 2 years? |

We were experiencing some attacks on our pools and were monitoring them 24/7 over ssh, unfortunately PSU on one of our servers blew and disconnected the ssh sessions. Maya and Felix pools are now running again as services, so this will not happen again. Kei will be out of service until Monday.

Or would you stake the same if you only staked one time in one year? Or once every 2 years? Actually, maturation time and annual interest remain unchanged. We just implemented wider POS target space. The only difference is you will get higher amounts less frequently. The reward you get is based on amount staked and coinage -> 7 - 90 days. So on the 100th day you'll get a reward for 90 days coinage. After particular amount stakes, the coinage is reset to 0. |
