How about just create a new genesis block and call it chocolatecoin?
Won't work, all his backdoors / tricks are still in the code - the code can't be trusted in its current state.
lol you are fast.. lurking in slack? if you cannot protect your pool dont come here bashing with fud like a ctr shill
if you can point us to 1 backdoor you can earn some respect back
Hey your Bitcointalk account is exposed to the public. Your account is vulnerable. I will ask the mods to ban your account.
This is how stupid John his theory sounded when he said suprnova is not safe.
To mine, a pool need to have open ports.. Otherwise you can't connect.
He had nothing to back up with except bluffing /lying.
But maybe you are a pro network engineer and be able show everyone a detailed security analysis. If you dont close your inbound tcp ports for the daemon you are not qualified to run a pool lol.
Stratum is the only port that should be open to the public and talks internal to the daemon.
Crybabies
Lol and the daemon talks to itself because it isn't allowed to communicate with other peers, right?
You have p2p ports and rpc ports. Of course close the rpc port but p2p is the port which connects to other daemons, other wallets...
Drunk?
LOL i get it, you dont know how a firewall works.
You dont want external peers connecting to your node, you submit your work to the network.
Only outbound is important so you get a firewalled peer, how else does the BTC client work behind a router with closed ports? ROFLOL
Are you really that stupid?
LOL, I see a real network expert here
Of course you want external nodes connecting to your node, this will propagate your blocks faster, especialy when you're a pool. You always want as much connections as possible, your're not a peer, you're a pool.. If you're not connecting well, your Blocks won't propagate fast and you'll have problems with orphans. Thats also the reason why there's always a main and a backup node, one gets direct blocks from stratum and communicates with backup node as well as with other nodes on the internet to get this block propagated as fast as possible on the network.
"Bad" or "malicious" peers are or at least SHOULD be automatically banned by the daemon, you can see that as "misbehaving" in the log of the daemon.
If that doesn't work or is disabled intentionally you or ALL peers are having a BIG problems, as EVERYONE with an open wallet is vulnerable to those attacks.
Oh and btw, you firewall expert, you of course CAN block incoming connections and only allow outgoing connections but what about the incoming data over the outgoing connection ? So you don't want to accept any traffic coming in ?
