I would like to thank an
anonymous donor for sending me SPR after my wallets were stolen last Tuesday
(You know who you are). He pm'd me and asked for my SPR address and asked not to be identified. I appreciate you very much. I wanted to let everyone know after this experience (after losing all of my wallets in many coins and a little under $30,000 USD) I have been overwhelmed by the outpour of generosity and support from my fellow community members. I would also like to thank
coins101 for offering me a bounty to help with some PR stuff. If there are other bounties please let me know. I am starting from scratch and would like to seriously be a part of the SPR community again. Unfortunately most of my 28,800 SPR came from mining. With difficulty so high it is not a possible thing anymore.
I will post my address if anyone feels inclined to drop a SPR or two - I would greatly appreciate it.

I would like to announce -
PLEASE LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE - I had no virus protection (thought I was safe), I had no anti-keylogger, and used all the same password on all of my encrypted wallets. I am dumb or naive - I don't see the difference. Since last week I have installed Antivirus, Encryption on my volumes, an anti-keylogger, and obfuscated where my wallet files are. I am hoping that if it happens again the hacker/thief will be so frustrated they just give up. Be well all. - pokeytex
I'm glad you keep having a good spirit after all this.
I have an offer:
Can you create a thread with best security practices and post it in the spreadcointalk forum? I will donate a little afterwards.
Please do it in the "altcoin taxonomy initiative" subforum:
http://spreadcointalk.org/index.php?board=21.0Since if we invite people to download and process all kinds of altcoin daemons with the GenesisExtractor,
this can be quite risky.
People should be better prepared, and maybe NOT do the processing on their main computer.
Please read: "Why do we need altcoin taxonomy":

http://spreadcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731.0EDIT: Although the GenesisExtractor doesn't require that you open a firewall port if the daemon asks you for it, there could still be risks in the form that the daemon might have malware in it, etc...
