Topic: Alternative Block Chains : be safe! - page 41. (Read 1675036 times)
Generally, if you have a large amount of bitcoins on a given PC, being extra-cautious about third party software (be it an Alt-coin client or a particularly fancy casual game) is advisable.
What is alternative blockchain?
Tell me, is it possible to consider alternative coins pyramid...? Or all??? there is what conditions, which reinforce the opposite...
If I have a significant amount of Bitcoins, I wouldn't run other clients on the many different computers until the alternates have developed trust over a longer period of time...
Good article Gavin Anderson, thank you very much for the detailed opinion on the whole situation in general
By and large, on the off chance that you have a lot of bitcoins on a given PC, being additional wary about outsider programming (be it an Alt-coin customer or an especially favor easygoing amusement) is fitting
Thank you for giving us an good information i want to learn more about blockchain.
I want to create an alternative special-purpose blockchain. It would use a proof-of-work function that is different than the one in Bitcoin.
The great Gavin Anderson. His words still carry so much relevance all these years on. I think alternative currencies can have a place in future. Like Gavin pointed out though if investing in alts make sure you do you due diligence as this risk factor is exponentially greater
Some of the new projects I'm seeing are some of the sketchiest. Mostly because you don't know what they are putting in the wallets. I recommend anyone to not install any random crypto wallets in environments were they store privatekeys of their main wallets.
you can create more wallet. You can use the flash memory or secure hardrive. I think best antivirus is knowledge
You are right, sometimes people enter a private key instead of a public key when registering. What else to say. Thank you Gavin.
The only things I might add is that "use a different password" isn't limited to exchanges, but applies to forums, emails, and even pools
, and that some antivirus heuristics seem to hate anything that has mining code in it and isn't explicitly whitelisted.
The password can easily be stolen. Therefore, I use two-factor authentication on all sites where used money and important information. The only things I might add is that "use a different password" isn't limited to exchanges, but applies to forums, emails, and even pools

There are numbers of fake coins in the market.It becomes difficult to judge that which coin is better. So, one should go only for project based coins.
Its tough time in blockchain as the hackers and scammers spreading like a rash
This is terrific information. Garving. i wanted to join the bitcoin train a year ago but i was skeptical and paranoid about malware and virus. This is has given the chance on knowing hw to let it work
You did'nt know if you don't try, just try and explore.
Some people only have one computer and that must suck. Fortunately I have multiple so I can use some of my alt-miners to do this safely.
There seem to be a lot of scammy wallets popping up lately too asking people to input their seeds. Watch out newbies!! This could get worse before it gets better
As we know, "Blockchain" has been a revolutionary technology that has changed radically the concept of transactions with the broad meaning of the word as it has removed the so-called "third party" and made processes more secure via encryption. However, the main question here, as we see increasing trends toward adopting blockchain technology, will alternative blockchains protected against the attempts of dominating them?
Gavin, thank you! Really interesting sharing.
About different passwords for exchanges. Well, some people have to use ONE password for everything. If it's not simple one, then it's fine
