consider putting release binaries on github using their release process, along with learning more about the inner workings and the updates to how the build system generates the client's version string. There has been extensive, and exhaustive, work done towards ensuring release binaries are concurrent with the git repository, but of course that will require your understanding of those systems and maintaining at least some level of updates with such systems.

Could you PM me and elaborate  . .catch me on slack or @ usedgpus.com.  I messaged you for a block explorer because everyone liked yours but you never got back to me.  Share some knowledge with me, you wouldnt of posted if you were not a supporter.

I responded via email on June 27 regarding the BE.

Explaining the entire process of github releases and how BTC's build system has been improved upon to make releases more deterministic would take considerable time, but the entire historical timeline of commits is viewable on bitcoin's github, as well as the peercoin (and/or blackcoin) github repository. This is compounded by the fact that GPUCoin's source is very far removed from what is current upstream.

I would personally like to see it in pure cold storage too.  If it was up to me solely I would send it to a wallet.  I would copy the wallet.dat file to several USB sticks and hide one in my house and put the other in my safety deposit box .  Then completely remove the wallet from the computer.  That's the only way I see it completely safe.

Even  paper wallet and file it away somewhere.

That's a substantial amount of money were talking about here...

i'll put one of your USBs in my safety deposit box too mate.. no issues.. send it over  Grin

Lol I'm right on that thanks for the offer.

As this was all going down I asked SebastianJu to split it up over several exchanges to minimize risk of loss incase 1 goes down.  

I don't really agree with this concept of storing coins on an exchange. All the years I've been doing this the rule of thumb is that the last place you ever want to store coins long term is an exchange. In fact, one of the 3 exchanges we currently have was nearly destroyed by a hack as I know you are aware because you were impacted by it. Now that there are 3 exchanges splitting it up mitigates the risk but I would say that at least 50% of the pre-mine should be kept in cold storage.

My concern is not any person in this community, the dev or the escrow provider. It's exchange vulnerability to hacking or shut down, and we've all experienced that countless times.

I can also confirm its mr White

Just got a question to the other holders..
A coin dev without coins cant be a very happy dev.
Maybe some of the holders should consider a donation?
We all know this coin is going somewhere Smiley

Thats a wonderful thought, but I don't want a donation for my own lack of proper security routine.  Lesson learned lets move on.  

We still have the 9.5 million premine sitting there.  As this was all going down I asked SebastianJu to split it up over several exchanges to minimize risk of loss incase 1 goes down.  When GPU gets huge down the road Im sure I can get paid from that.

I don't really need a wallet full of coins because the computer doesn't stay on for very long at a time.

What about using the hard fork technique employed by Etherum devs for the the DOA conflict resolution.  I'm not saying I agree with what was done but if it could be done in such a way that only the transactions containing the stolen 1.8 million coins could be wiped, it would appear seamless.

 What percentage of the total supply does 1.8 million coins represent?

Yes that was me. I couldn't figure out where the hack came from. I wasn't sure if it was something to do with Yobit or whether it was the GPU wallet I had tried to install. Somebody named 'lucky89' (something like that) told me they had the same windows wallet and that it was working just fine, so i started doing some google searching to try see if other people had lost coins on the exchange. It was only when I saw the dev's post on iBankCoin, that I started thinking that maybe the hacker had compromised the download link to the windows wallet.

yup you were chatting to me...my gpu wallet was fine ....a few day before you got hacked ....i got hacked also in yobit.. lost est 0.09 btc lol...but gpu wallet was not open ....it was radical wallet ...it contains POS (proof of stealing) LOL see my post here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1552937.40


so i told you to post and ask gpu dev here in BCT  ...
i saw your post after chatting with me...sorry i was busy collecting my coin... lol ... and wow even dev got hacked...sorry to hear that dev ...its not your lucky day....im sure GPU have bright future and you will rise again...

Its not like there is a line up of people claiming to be the GPU dev, you know me, i was active every single day.  i didnt run away and let someone else claim they were me.  I didnt post malicious wallet links.

good publicity or bad, its all working.  GPU was @ 10 sats 2 weeks ago, were holding steady @ 60+ now.  This is just a bump in the road and we will be better for it.

there is 1.82 million staking in the wind as seen here - http://gpucoin.explorers.altcoinsteps.com/address/GWzVctD9vjz9bM7ZwrxbhBqrR2BGTupTh4

follow the money catch the bastard. . . stake that forever, all the exchanges will hand you over when you move to dump

BCT staff have removed the malicious links and locked my old account until I can satisfy them it's me.




Apparently this stuff happens every day around here...

 It does but it is nonetheless worrisome since you are the dev of GPUcoin.
Have you managed to get your own computer secured yet?
Do you fully understand how your personal computer was comprimised?
What steps will you take to ensure this doesn't happen to you again?

Thanks



Good question.

My own computer is shut down.

I understand something was running on my pc that copie wallet.dat files and collected passwords I typed in.  The only things that were affected were things I signed into that evening.. bct, my Gmail and ccex.  Everything else I entered was remember me, auto login I didn't have to type anything it was unaffected.  I have set up 2fa and no more remember me

I bet the fact I was so open with remember me on my pc saved alot of trouble.

 I'm not at liberty to divulge the security practices of gpu coin in detail.  But there are major changes already happening and in the works over the next couple days.  I can share with you the following.

Cloud fare and advanced hack alert/malware monitoring has been implimented for www.usedgpus.Com

2fa has been activated everywhere possible

2fa is coming to usedgpus.Com

I need a computer for 4 main purposes.  GPU coin, my business, personal use and the kids.

I have bought 2 new computers and another Internet connection.  The new pc are Linux based.  Everything will be compartmentalized.  I will not use the gpu computer for personal use.  I will not use the business computer for gpu coin, whichever way you spin it my business and gpu coin will be on their own PC on a separate network from personal and kids

These computers will only be running when I directly need to use them, not from my home network.

The wallet links, source, and android/IOS files will be hosted by www.usedgpus.com.  the links will be locked in an in editable thread.

I will change the ANNs to exclude links.  The only link will be to www.usedgpus.com

I will only compile wallets from source on my personal pc or mine directly from pool to exchange.

This has been a real eye opener.  Thank god it wasn't my online banking for personal or business.  Thank god they didn't steal all my porn o those funny pictures of my wife flashing her tits....

I would like to thank the hacker who reads this and who has most likely posted in the thread.  It cost me only 1.1 million gpu for a hardcore lesson in security.

Fool me once shame on you.  Fool me twice.... shame on me.
