guys, how do you get security prospects for the new SONDER ICO?
I'm interested because they are soon starting pre-sale and I like their road map and bonus system!
Topic: Alternative Block Chains : be safe! - page 50. (Read 1547208 times)
I haven't seen anybody post about what would be my biggest worry if I were trying out alternative block chains. I realize this may be perceived as "Gavin is FUD'ding anything that isn't bitcoin!" (FUD == Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) But I think some of you might be forgetting some basic computer security fundamentals in the excitement to be early adopters.
When I first heard about bitcoin, my questions were:
1) Can it possibly work (do the ideas for how it works make sense)?
2) Is it a scam?
3) If it is not a scam, could it open my computer up to viruses/trojans if I run it?
I answered those questions by:
1) Reading and understanding Satoshi's whitepaper. Then thinking about it for a day or two and reading it again.
2) Finding out everything I could about the project. I read every forum thread here (there were probably under a hundred threads back then) and read Satoshi's initial postings on the crypto mailing list.
3) Downloaded and skimmed the source code to see if it looked vulnerable to buffer overflow or other remotely exploitable attacks.
If I were going to experiment with an alternative block-chain, I'd go through the same process again. But I'm an old conservative fuddy-duddy.
If you want to take a risk on a brand-new alternative block-chain, I'd strongly suggest that you:
1) Run the software in a virtual machine or on a machine that doesn't contain anything valuable.
2) Don't invest more money or time than you can afford to lose.
3) Use a different passphrase at every exchange site.

Hello all,
I tried using my whole amount for buying ether but couldn't, can someone tell me as to why I can't use my total amount for buying ether?

thank you brother, very useful indeed Cyber security protection is the largest budget, and I want to add to all users of crypto that as far as I know blockchain technology, which is behind the virtual currency, until now has never been hacked, the target is a company that holding crypto currency transactions. So, alternative blokchain is be safe.
Investments in all these three areas are very reliable. I'm investing in the ICO direction and in tokens. At the moment, one of the most reliable projects where you can invest in is Red Lanterns
By the way, now they have 50% discount on coins.Their site is over here https://goo.gl/RddguE

I have a question about how to crack a smart contract, how it is broken if it is online! more than once I hear about it! who heard anything?
One of the greatest technologies in the last century. Still a lot that can be done with this and its a lot that can be achieved!
BlockChain is a very nice technology and revolutionary improvement. very reliable and does not end with the number of benefits it provides.
Thx to author. I think too, that the soviets seem to be obvious, but for some reason they fall out of ordinary understanding and so its precisely those problems that arise in front of every newcomer in the world of crypto-currencies.
Innovations are inevitable in the world of blockchain technology, you can not advice people to be careful with alternate blockchain when what every individual always crave for new development. personally i think the best advice should be be careful with every project by looking closely the team behind and the project team in other not to be defraud.
Thank you for the useful information and advice. I think google authentication will help secure your account
I think Ethereum hitting 10k is very much possible, but it wouldn't get there this year. It could take two years to get there. I believe only Ethereum has the potential to get there, no other coins can get there.
I agree with you that Ethereum has very good potential but nobody can guest how much it can reach. 2k 5k or 10k
If bitcoin can reach 100k $ (as told by Mcafee) then Ethereum can easily reach 10k $

Basic Attention Token radically improves the efficiency of digital advertising by creating a new token that can be exchanged between publishers, advertisers, and users. It all happens on the Ethereum blockchain.
The token can be used to obtain a variety of advertising and attention-based services on the Brave platform. The utility of the token is based on user attention, which simply means a person’s focused mental engagement.

Even if you have taken all the security precautions on the computer you work with, you can still lose your crypto money in some way.
For this reason, it is a good idea to use a second computer and not to use it for any other business except for the second computer crypto buying and selling
