I like the new version of your miner very much. Finally memory usage problem under Win7-x64 is solved. The problem is the miner randomly crashes within 1-3 days with the same error message:

http://f19.ifotki.info/org/b6b372c5de20c1fc840d062da8bd2cfb54fd66214619913.jpg

Any idea whats wrong and what can be done to avoid these crashes? Previous versions worked for many weeks without crashes.

Sometimes I get the same error. Don't know how to fix it, sorry. Maybe Blago can help us with that.

happens with previous blago versions too, with latest ver. and on burstcoin.de rarely (thanks to fast server responses), its seems related with fastblocks when you send your nounce and next block hits before you receive server confirmation. (its just my observation)

Congrats on the first ACCT!

I'm surprised the crypto-press isn't making more of it. Anyway, I put an article on my news site to help get the word out a bit more, but I suggest you find somebody to take charge of PR a bit - writing a press release is fine, but its usually to actual send it to the press as well, lol.

SSL is not strictly required, it just adds an additional level of security. If you take a look at a packet trace of you authenticating to a non-SSL wallet, the pass phrase is not sent over the wire. Instead, after you enter your passphrase, the browser requests the publickey for your account (The account ID is generated from the passphrase). Presumably then, the private key (also generated from the passphrase) is used to validate the public key and grant access.

So, even without SSL the passphrase cannot be harvested, SSL just adds an additional layer by making the entire conversation encrypted.

SSL is required for real security. SSL provides both encryption and authentication. Without SSL, it is possible to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.

For example: an attacker sitting in the middle of your non-SSL connection can replace the javascript on the webpage with malicious javascript that harvests your password.

I'm glad Burst City added SSL to their wallet, but it really should have been there all along. To be honest, in this day and age, every website should have SSL, especially a website that is dealing directly with sending and receiving a crypto-currency.

Good point - I hadn't considered the MitM attack - was only thinking of the encryption of the passphrase.

any news on mixer?
dont know but polo became a msb and limits withdrawals per day....
burst withdrawals temporarily dont work.
the blockexplorer says the last tx happened 20h ago (http://burstcoin.eu/address/5810532812037266198).
someone in the trollbox just asked when withdrawals will work again refering to the last tx on the blockchain and got roughly told by a mod to open a support ticket if there are any issues.

if this trend continues a AT based decentralized exchange may become huge  Cool

Two notes to that:
1. SSL is as good as the certificate is. There are different levels. Some, as this one, are only good that you know the connection is secure.
It misses contacts, background checks, ...
Basically this certificate says: the connection is correct!
2. The next step is what the server does with your information.
... I don't want to spell out what could happen, if the passphrase leaks to the owner/employee/hacker of that site.
With all anonymity, ... we know not even who is xxx of that site.

I strongly recommend NOT to use such site for MONEY sensitive issues! For me it is merrily a "proof of concept", but not to use!

someone in the trollbox just asked when withdrawals will work again refering to the last tx on the blockchain and got roughly told by a mod to open a support ticket if there are any issues.

if this trend continues a AT based decentralized exchange may become huge  Cool

I definitely see decentralized exchanges as the future,  fixes the Mt Gox problem!

they even fix scenarios that didn't happen yet, like government seizure, which is the real threat

SSL is not strictly required, it just adds an additional level of security. If you take a look at a packet trace of you authenticating to a non-SSL wallet, the pass phrase is not sent over the wire. Instead, after you enter your passphrase, the browser requests the publickey for your account (The account ID is generated from the passphrase). Presumably then, the private key (also generated from the passphrase) is used to validate the public key and grant access.

So, even without SSL the passphrase cannot be harvested, SSL just adds an additional layer by making the entire conversation encrypted.

SSL is required for real security. SSL provides both encryption and authentication. Without SSL, it is possible to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.

For example: an attacker sitting in the middle of your non-SSL connection can replace the javascript on the webpage with malicious javascript that harvests your password.

I'm glad Burst City added SSL to their wallet, but it really should have been there all along. To be honest, in this day and age, every website should have SSL, especially a website that is dealing directly with sending and receiving a crypto-currency.


Two notes to that:
1. SSL is as good as the certificate is. There are different levels. Some, as this one, are only good that you know the connection is secure.
It misses contacts, background checks, ...
Basically this certificate says: the connection is correct!
2. The next step is what the server does with your information.
... I don't want to spell out what could happen, if the passphrase leaks to the owner/employee/hacker of that site.
With all anonymity, ... we know not even who is xxx of that site.

I strongly recommend NOT to use such site for MONEY sensitive issues! For me it is merrily a "proof of concept", but not to use!


1. it has already been stated and proven that BURST doesn't allow for password stealing in this manner.

2. The SSL was something that was done for peace of mind and for no other purpose

3. If you don't trust me, don't use my wallet, no one is forcing you.

Elmit, Crowetic is a known, trusted, member of the burst community. I trust the services he provides totally. If you offered a web wallet I wouldn't trust it even if you offered 10x the encryption level. Reputation and history is everything, and you fail on both.

H.

Wow... in Crowetic's defense... he has been completely transparent if nothing else.
He has been a part of Burst when only like 5 or 6 of us were chatting in the beginning.

Elmit... if it's the same Elmit I know of from burstforum... you couldn't give me anything he has to offer if it was free and you added something to it.

I will NEVER ask for any kind of funds up front in a buy/sale of anything on bitcointalk.
