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!

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.

Thanks guys. Yes, I am nothing but transparent, I don't hide, and all of my services are legitimate. I will never steal from anyone and never have. I truly believe in BURST and wish nothing but for its success.

[IncludeBeer]

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  

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

Exactly the first thing I though of when I saw we got first ACCT.

On another note, I contacted the guys at cryptomining-blog and asked for an article on the subject.  I mean, this is pretty big shit ya?

[cyberspacemonkey]

Hey guys, is Dev's pool V2 still paying? I signed up yesteday with 6TB and have not received an payments, also the balance for my address doesn't change, I'm confused   is that pool still active?

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.

I trust you enough for buy assets from you, but i wont trust any one include you for online wallet.

[mczarnek]

This is nice:

I trust you enough for buy assets from you, but i wont trust any one include you for online wallet.

I hear you.. crowetic is awesome, I do trust him and consider him a friend but I want to know what's going on in my wallet.

The solution I see?  Blockchain trimming.  Burstdev and I came up with a way, that we can literally make the blockchain 1/100th of the size of the wallet while maintaining the same trustlessness.  This is based off of cryptonite's blockchain trimming algo but with our own unique twist that significantly shortens the chain while upping the difficulty of faking the chain.

Unfortunately, most people also can't code and even if they can it is time consuming to look through the code and make sure offline wallets are sending your passwords places you don't want them to go.  So we are stuck trusting a little bit at the moment.  A really nice tool would be one where you could prepare the transaction on an offline computer and visually verify the fields of the transaction and copy it to an online computer for anyone serious about security.

I thought the PR team is already dead, but see, they all can jump up for their boss.

See the facts!
1. Crowtec has a cheap certificate, which requires minimal credentials!
I do NOT trust such a certificate my wallet.

2. SSL is the half part of the trust. It only says that the data from user to server is protected.
I do not know Crowtec, there is absolutely nothing to verify about him/his company, ... And the certificate does not make it better.

3. Further, it is not just Crowtec, who often said, he does not know (Linux, ....) by himself, we need to trust, that he hire the right people to fill this gap.
Who knows if these programers added a backdoor to steal passphrases?

Without accusing him to do that, but it could happen. Therefore I would never trust such a wallet! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!

Exactly! To buy an asset is a different story than from giving somebody my (not-changeable) pin code of  my ATM (that is basically the password of Burst wallet)

[Elmit]

Hey guys, is Dev's pool V2 still paying? I signed up yesteday with 6TB and have not received an payments, also the balance for my address doesn't change, I'm confused   is that pool still active?

http://burstcoin.eu/pools  shows that they did payout yesterday! However, it was less than the day before. They might be also fallen into the millennium cause (99,999).
Do they have an email address or any contact way? Instead of guessing or asking here.

Headache, Crowtec is a Burst community member as you and me. I am glad you trust him.
He stated several times that xxx had a problem, apologized for it, ... The group did not pay out for the asset, change the asset at their will, without any way to verify their calculations. ... that all did not establish trust to him either.
I don't think he is transparent, he might be your boss, but not transparent to the public. I made the proof of concept a while back. Yes it is working, but I will not offer such service. It is not a question of the encryption level, when he cannot program by himself and rely on others, who we do not know, .. who are  like Headache anonymous. REAL MAN do not hide behind anonymous, REAL MAN stand to it. REAL MAN do not post unverified matters in public, knowing they do just harm but give no chance to reply.

wmikrut, I have replied with many good things at the burstforum, till I found myself kicked out by the slammers. If you need something from me, talk to me. I am always helping. Actually I cannot catch your meaning what you got for free and added something.

new version Burst-miner v1.150509
https://github.com/Blagodarenko/miner-burst/releases/download/1.150509/miner-burst-1.150509.zip
- solved memory usage issue

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:



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)

Still getting this as well, have been for quite some time.

Well, as a Sr member I should apologize... I guess there are always two sides to every story... and I admit, my information feed it a little one sided.
While I am in the business of IT, I do not see cheap certs as a bad thing... certs can be difficult to deploy unless you have a good working knowledge of how to deploy them.

Even as of late I helped a client install a proper bundle chain into a web server that was not setup correctly.
Then you need to make sure the SSL site has no references to non-secure links, and the parade goes on and on.

Do I trust crowetic implicitly, of course not... I don't implicitly trust people I even see every day.
However, he has never given me a reason not to trust him with day to day operations of the Asset and his pool.

I don't even trust to mine to a single wallet in the event of a breech.
I mine to one wallet and transfer those funds off to other wallets... same as I do with everything I mine.

[Elmit]

Changes on MiningHere.com pool:

Threshold of 250 BURSTs per payout


I am not sure what the best value for Pooldifficulty should be. The original value is 1 million.
When I compare it to the current Network Difficulty of 8500, it seems it is a time waist. It would take a couple of seconds to come down from 1 million to 8500. I will test with my old pool different values.

[Rabinovitch]

What cluster size should I choose when format two new 3Tb HDDs in NTFS for using in BURST mining? I guess 64 KB is what I need?
