* Clean your computer from malwares by a refutable antivirus software or use a sandbox/vmware.

Peace! Go Karma!

+1

you can use virtual box too and its free...
https://www.virtualbox.org/

I do this with my litecoin and bitcoin.. they are kept in a linux virtual machine using virtualbox
all of it is encrypted and stored in a truecrypt file  (yes I know about the truecrypt  warnings but there is no proof yet that i can be cracked)
this an entirely free option and it all runs nice and securely under windows.

if my karma rises in value significantly then I would put a stash of them in a virtual machine for safe keeping.

Does anybody know how many hits per day LILL is getting?  Last Kos posted was 3000 over a few days time frame.  So conservatively estimate 250 to 300 per day would be over a 100,00 per year.  I have a feeling we should be getting some advertisers soon.

More news will come out once we have our BTC pairing again.

For Lill we are now using Google Analytics.
Sounds good and thanks for the message.  Patience is not my friend right now.

I know there is a lot to come soon.

A friendly reminder for your Karma coin security:

* As much as possible keep your coins in your local encrypted wallet with at least 20 characters or more passphrase/passsentence.
* Do place you wallet.dat back up in at least 3 different locations, for example a usb, an offline PC and a paper wallet.
* In a rumor of a 51% attack, do not try to transfer from one address to another, because of a possibilty of losing your coin to the wrong chain.
* Do not install softwares that are of questionable origins and functions, they may be designed to sniff your computer data.
* Be sure to stay updated to the Karma community development especially about Karma wallet changes.
* Do not keep you coins in exchanges and online wallets longer than necessary to complete your immediate transaction, they are hackable.
* Clean your computer from malwares by a refutable antivirus software or use a sandbox/vmware.
* Do not ever panic sell. Sell when you need but do it calmly Smiley

Peace! Go Karma!

Think you all might want to be careful, if this company catches wind of this you could get a cease and desist order.

Thats one reason why we are Karma (former known as Karmacoin). The registered company is Karmashares

The whole point was we knew it happened at MintPal but did not know if other exchanges were next, in the next minute, the next hour, or the next day. So yea it was already too late and all you could do is wait it out if the attack was active at your exchange but at least you had the heads up incase you had coins at other exchanges and wanted the opportunity to move them before they got hit. We did not tell anyone to do anything we just gave them the info we had so they could take whatever course of action they saw fit. I personally moved a good chunk of coins out of Cryptsy that i had just bought a few days ago and had not yet sent to my wallet. Again it was speculated it was a 51% attack but it could have been a lot more, we did not have an in depth explanation of the extent of the attack at the time.

I really think it would be worth your while to read up on 51% attacks a little more.
The fact that Minpal reported it and cryptsy did not does not mean that cryptsy was not yet affected.
A double spend attack is not against an exchange it is against the network. it is only detected by the exchange when they notice unusual transactions. When the network has forked (which is necessary to carry out double spend) it is unwise to make any transactions anywhere on the network because they may fail (and you may not know for some time). Even trades you make on any exchange can be wound back if the exchange is found to be operating on the wrong fork..  (usually exchanges halt trading and withdrawals if this happens but not all exchanges are smart enough to notice)

telling the community "this is what I did but I'm not telling you to do that" is a moot point since people often do follow the examples people who they assume have some leadership role.

the bottom line is.. you got lucky and nothing you did after the fact would have made any difference to the outcome of that event.... you could have easily had your coins and or related transactions frozen on any exchange.

this is why eduction and preemptive action are so important.

people do make a big fuss about 51% attacks.. but as long as you stay calm and stay put they are relatively harmless to coin holders (people actually holding the coins in an address that they control)..

for exchanges and miners however.. it is a different story. for miners it can mean losing a few days payout... for exchanges it can be near fatal. (as was the case with cryptorush, coinmarket, vircurex and various others)

What part of it was speculation at the time it was 51% attack but it could have been something worse because we didn't have all the details do you not understand. I see you are one of those know it alls so ok, you win. You are right. Now how about you put that tech savvy brain of yours to work and help us come up with ways to prevent this in the  future instead of just nit picking the past post. Right or wrong a true leader acts and makes decisions while a poge just sits there with their finger up their 5th point of contact and does nothing.The KarmaTeam took all the info it had at the time and made a decision with the welfare of the community in mind and I stand 100% behind that decision and those who made it and if you don't like that then too bad because its not all about you.
