problem solved, thx. sorry for being unbelievable dumb and half-cocked. paper wallet is a great tool.

Hi Folks,

how can I check the balance of a karbowanec paper wallet?

Thx for answers. Regards.

good time to re re buy

I am happy that we got to understanding. I quite understand the complexity of problem with security bug especially when multiple projects and teams are involved.

P. S. Greetings with 25th anniversary of .UA TLD.

Apologies then, but still we have patched our code before the disclosure. Tweet about that was just confirmation for our users that we're fine.

Update, just for clarity:   This means that we, as well as other cryptonote coins, knew about this bug and patched it before the publication of the disclosure because we among other coins were given time to implement patch by Monero devs. Why some coins didn't do this I don't know.

Oh, I won't comment Karbonator's comment about possibilty of using the exploit. Facepalm.

I have posted two timestamps:
1. Disclosure of Monero team. 3:28 AM - 18 May 2017
2. Notification from KRB team that bug was fixed.  5:39 AM - 18 May 2017

Where do you see a lie here?

The intent of my post was to prove to karbonator that KRB team did not exploit the bug.
How do you see the trolling in this?

Thus, yg10, it's you are lying and are making false accusations whether because you don't know the facts or willingly because you're troll or shill


All software updates and announcements concering this bug in cryptonote you can find on page 45 of this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1491747.880
Way before the disclosure of Monero team. So we were safe. 

And here is the announcement where we made an update, just look at the dates, it was BEFORE the disclosure, just  no one knew what for is this

Read the code on a github

update, this is the correction of the threat in question

https://github.com/seredat/karbowanec/commit/4da156f2f07784ac24dde65d98517b1ffc99156f

committed BEFORE the disclosure

PPS. we just waited till Monero team announces this and stated that we're safe and no any forgery ever happened in karbo blockchain.

You have said literally
That was a statement, even with bold shout (capital letters). So you are lying again. Please try to read times  that I provided for you.

First. It was no statement but an assumption within a question.

And Second. In my statement (see post #1270) I was quoting "aiwe" (see post #1261) in which he corrected the statement of "Andretti83" (see post #1258) with the words: "In fact Karbo was patched BEFORE the disclosure [of Bytecoin, own note]" because "Andretti83" in turn was answering on my question from post #1257 in his post #1258 with:


So, if the statement "Karbo was patched BEFORE the disclosure" should not be true, what I am doubting because "aiwe" belongs to the dev-team and I believe him for reasons I do not know, I for one did not state this.

And KRB team twittered 2 hours and 11 minutes later than Monero team at 18 May 2017, 5:39 AM that "#karbowanec is patched and safe". They did not inform about the fact WHEN it was patched.

I was solely wondering why a bug should have been patched before a disclosure. At first glance it sounds a little bit absurd. Thats why I asked in my post #1270:


I was originally referring to this news from 28/05/2017: https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/cryptonote-currency-bug-allowed-creation-unlimited-number-coins/ in which was statet:


In any case I did not want to accuse KRB-team to exploit a bug. On the one hand I was surprised that such a heavy weighting bug could be possible and on the other hand I was surprised that the bug was already fixed by the teams of the Bytecoin forked coins like Monero, Karbowanec etc. see

while in contrast to them the team of Bytecoin which is the parent coin of several coins was not able to fix the bug instantly.

Bold font is not a proof.
Monero team twitted disclosure about the bug 3:28 AM - 18 May 2017
https://getmonero.org/2017/05/17/disclosure-of-a-major-bug-in-cryptonote-based-currencies.html

And KRB team twited about bug fix tw hours later: 5:39 AM - 18 May 2017
https://twitter.com/krbcoin/status/865185084403580929

So your statement is a lie.

If you want details you  really should read the disclosure itself before asking retared questions. We were warned by the Monero team as well as other coins. Go and ask those coin's devs why they didn't patch. We did. You can check the source code and check blockchain if you have doubts. We have this verification from the very first block so when you synchronize from scratch you will know if there was any forgery. I will not engage in flame with accusations that we used an exploit - you look really stupid. LOL 

In fact Karbo was patched BEFORE the disclosure


I dont want to be distrustful but if Karbo team patched its coin BEFORE the disclosure it could have theoretically been able to exploit this insider knowledge, issnt it? Or did the Karbo team detected the bug, patched the bug with its own coin and reported the bug instantly to the Bytecoin-team?

Or did the Bytecoin-team knew from the bug BEFORE disclosure, told other CryptoNote-protocol based currencies from it and disclosed the bug only later?

What happened exactly and why it did happen this way?

And who is able to fix a bug? Who has the power to change CryptoNote-protocol or was it the CryptoNote algorithm? (protocol = algorithm? I dont know. I am not a programmer)? Was this made by voting system? Who is able to change the code? And why it is so? Not that I as a holder of Karbowanec want to decide in programming decisions because I do not have the required knowlege nor the skills but I as a stupid prospective buyer want to know how everything works more or less respectively is connected with each other. Just to be sure not to own something which could be worthless over night.

As a holder of Karbowanec I just ask myself: "How big or better low is my actual influence and power on the coin?"

Could you say that indeed the blockchain itself which contains the transactions is stored dezentralised and is therefore highly invulnerable and fraud resistent but the properties of the coin itself I am mining, buying, holding and transfering are managed centralized? (by the one or team who is able to change any source code like a bug? if there is no voting system where majority is deciding about major programming decisions)

And thx for the hint for the Karbo-white paper, I will read it. Maybe Karbo-website could link to this essential white paper below "documentation" or so?


I found it (hopefully its the proper paper  ) here: https://cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdf

Regards

KRB-he will have a good traction
