STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

In addition to immediately clearing the console history after you unlock, observe best-practices and don't even directly type in the unlock command, at least not the password part. Pull it from a password mgr, or if for some (bad) reason you don't use one, type it out in chunks in notepad, intermixed with garbage characters, then copy and paste chunk by chunk. If your computer has keylogging malware you could get seriously fucked otherwise.

Never use the keyboard directly to type sensitive passwords. When I have to type a password, I use the Windows 8.1 on-screen keyboard which keyloggers can't pick up.

Well, god damn. Then, yeah, USE A GODDAM PASSWORD MGR and don't type sensitive shit at all when you are online.

My personal tip: When I need to login / withdraw BTC, I usually use a virtual keyboard where you simply press the keys with your mouse. It's much safer as it doesn't record the keyboard

Word. In fact the password mgr called Password Safe also has a virtual keyboard you can pull up anytime. This is great software, and it is free.

Soepkip, your password could have been captured via someone remotely watching your screen, or just a simple keylogger. Ctrl-L will not thwart the latter, unfortunately.

I'm seriously thinking about setting up a dedicated machine as a cold wallet, which will stay powered off and physically disconnected 99.999% of the time. It will only be switched on to generate new receive addresses, send funds, or add a new coin. In addition, it will be firewalled so when powered on it will only communicate with a client on my local network. It will never be connected to the greater internet.

Most consumer computers do not contain any data that is of general value. That's now changing as cryptocoins become more popular...

I scan my computer regularly (like 2 days ago) and nothing was found. That's the weirdest part about it. I was lucky to find my wallet back thanks to automatic backups.

I also want to state that all Community Funds are save.

The blockchain is the future

Cryptowallets need to be upgraded to be more user friendly, less cody so everyone can use it and more secure.

Hey guys,

Well. I'm kinda at a loss for words. After everything I've been doing karma still kicked me in the ass.
Somehow my windows wallet got hacked, and (since i don't save passwords on my windows machine) i suspect they got my passphrase through the debug console.

So a fair warning if you unlock your wallet: ALWAYS USE CTRL+L to clear it!

I lost 27160 BC, and i'm really down about it seeing as that was my personal stash.

I'd like to thank Aforis for helping me setting up a VMWare with Linux wallet.

I'm going to leave my computer now for a bit and hope i get motivated again to help the BlackCoin community out. I'm down, but not defeated.

Sorry for your loss. What is Ctrl+L?

I seriously have no clue how these hackers do it. Do you have an Antivirus/firewall? It's mind f******

CTRL+L clears the debug screen. If you type your passphrase out to unlock it'll remain shown if you don't use ctrl+L

I'm also amazed in how they've done it. They must have targeted me very specifically.

OMG Jabulon thank you!!! Was like pulling teeth to get that info here lol

Sorry I took so long. Was caught up in another conversation. Two additional things: clear the console history with the red button lower right when you are done. Exit debug window. The lock should appear open immediately, but you may still see the minting-suspended message for a few minutes. It should disappear in a few.

That's fucking awful Soepkep, I was always worried about that issue. Left a warning yesterday in the thread. So yeah, Ctrl+L or just use the little red rectangle button lower right after you've unlocked. I think (hope and pray) the history is not retained elsewhere after you clear. Prob it's ok. But it's just sitting there in plaintext until you get rid of it.

Is the 21Gh/s on the network due to people wasting their hashing power on the coin or is it because stats are frozen?

Or coming from PoS? Just asking?!?

Anyone else have deposit problems on mintpal? Stuck for hours. Over 100 confirms.

cannot withdraw too.

I suspect their coind daemon crashed and nobody is around to restart it. Always sucks when this happens because once the coins get released there's an inevitable flood of the markets and usually a crash.
