Hello Digibyte users. Today I announce
version 801 of my someday-will-be-complete M8M miner

There are high hopes for this release in terms of compatibility and fixing previous bugs.

For those who read about this for the first time, M8M is an attempt at building a "don't make me think", easygoing miner before being easy started being cool. It has been written from the ground up to be easy and keep the system responsive. I often forget it's even running. It's nothing more than an icon on your notification area, with extra details on need, presented using the browser. No silly commandline-based interfaces!
It is also easygoing in terms of licensing as it uses the more permissive MIT license as opposed to GPL.

It is not a 1-click miner: the user is really required to understand what is a pool, what needs to be configured... but (s)he is guided in building a simple configuration and hopefully no manual is required. It is an easygoing miner, with all the unnecessary details removed while attempting to expose the user to every concept that's really important.

This is a pre-beta build so there's no official announce yet on BTCtalk, I just publish a note on the coin thread instead. For discussion, PM me, or if you have reddit on the last announce (I have been considering a sub). Being this not coin specific, whatever you want to use this thread is up to you (it's not a great idea as I might miss it).

I have a Radeon 7750 so I have tested only on this.
More testers wanted.

Hi!

How can I fix this?

I tried on 2 different computers and on ALL versions of your miner which are available on GitHub. I cannot get past the Configuration Wizard.

Thanks

The future is bright with DigiByte.
Guys, I think we should create a skype call community, where we can share information instantly... and talk about DigiByte a lot Smiley

If we already have one, can someone add me please. You can also add me in person, that will be great, too? Thank you. Skype ID: "halinyo"
Please mention your BCT username.

Sent you an invite Halinyo.
If no one makes a group by the time I come back, I will make one.
As far as an "elites" group, well, two can be made, I think it would be a good to have a think-tank of large bag holders.
Made a lot when I was heavy into war gaming, it's not too hard and I prefer Skype at any rate.
Hockey Stanley Cup playoffs right now though... priorities Wink (Go Caps Go)

What DigiByte needs is a feature filled shopping cart like PayPal...

What I mean by that is, you go to a website, shop around and once on the payment page, you click a DGB payment button and your desktop wallet pops up with the pre-filled values and all one would need to do is click send or make adjustments as needed.  Make it is as painless and as work-free for the user as possible.  Even a user interface like PayPal would make purchases a cinch since once would only need to feed their online wallet, would be seamless... that's what cryptos need, seamless-ness.

That's what it will need to really compete with PayPal and where we'll see DGB's true form.

I know tons of people who are sick of PayPal and are waiting for a DigiByte to come and save their business.
However, without an "Easy-Ready" shopping cart... no one will switch.

I got you on skype Smiley nica talking ya.
Great vision. I think it is being worked on, the mass adoption will definitely bring more online payment buttons and woll make use of dgb Wink that is what dgb needs. More marketing and usability.

Securing Your Wallet

lol im so paranoid i even bought 4 usb sticks to put my wallets on it,
is it a problem if the wallet.dat has been connected to the internet before? or just get the wallet.dat offline and you're fine?
edit: btw thx 24, deleted teamviewer right away lol

Theoretically speaking as soon as the wallet touches an internet connectecd PC it becomes at risk.


Problem is that i only have 1 pc.
And i don't mine coins so i don't see the point of keeping a wallet on a pc thats conected to the internet.



If you dont have a second PC to generate an offline wallet then you can use Virtualbox to create a 'virtual PC'. Just yank your network cable out or turn off your router and install windows on your virtual PC (Called a Virtual Machine or VM). You can then generate a wallet that way. Using a Virtual Machine is also a good way to test any suspicious software before installing it on your actual PC.

If you are going to use a paper wallet you need to understand how change addresses work or you may risk loosing coins when you transfer them back into a wallet. Heres a reddit post that explains it. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1c9xr7/psa_using_paper_wallets_understanding_change/

Behind every address is a "Private Key" which looks similar to a standard address but is longer and this is what you are really backing up and trying to keep secure. As long as you have your private key somewhere (be it in the form of a wallet.dat file or a paper wallet or simply just writing the private key down on some paper) you will ALWAYS be able to get your funds. Every wallet ever created now and in the future (some online wallets wont allow you to import private keys) will accept your private keys and you will get access to your funds.

If an attacker gets your private key he has access to all your funds even if your wallet.dat is encrypted.

WARNING
Last week somebody lost 80BTC because of a security breach. The hacker could acces his computer using Teamviewer.
So be advised!

Watch out for this follower
@teamviewer_agen Block him!

Won't do the hacker much good if the wallet was encrypted. (Since the coins are gone it probably wasn't or the wallet password was on the victims' computer. VERY BAD IDEA) Strong passwords usually thwart hackers. They look for weak ones and won't waste much time with on strong ones.
With teamviewer you can watch your/the hacked computer from a remote place and you can see every word you type.  There is a security bug in teamviewer and the hacker can get acces this way.  I'm not a tech-guy and dont know the details but just be warned!

It's not a bug in the legitimate version, I believe the problem is some people are downloading a version from somewhere other than the supplier (I have no idea why, it's free for personal use) and there is a malware .dll file in those versions. This is allowing rogue users to run as a Trojan within TeamViewer. I use it to get to my work PC's from home as they are on a static IP which is whitelisted on our datacenter servers and it's actually very secure even for an enterprise level I.T. Company (I run it over a VPN for extra security)

Couple of things I've noticed over the years that might help people avoid this happening to them:

1. Don't install torrented software on your PC unless you've scanned it and scanned it again (obvious). Even then you should sandbox it if you HAVE to go down this path.

2. When searching for a piece of software on Google etc. Make sure you check the URL you're clicking/going to. Sometimes malware distributors will pay for Adwords on Google or blackhat their spam sites to the top of Google for a short period so that their site comes up first for various search terms. I've watched over many peoples shoulders as they blindly take the first link that shows up and click download.

3. Check your BIOS settings for a "Wake on lan" function. Unless you actually use it, disable this feature. It allows someone who knows your PC's MAC address to turn on your computer remotely. While it usually only works from inside your local network, there are ways to get around this. First the "hacker" finds out your MAC through a trojan hidden in your gammy software version, then waits for a time when you're likely asleep in your locality, then turns on your PC, has his way with it, and leaves with no trace but a slight stickyness all over your keyboard and an empty bitwallet on your desktop...

Well, there are so many combinations one can do to secure their coins.

Totally 90% in Cold wallet.

7% on your harddrive on a computer.

3% on your phone. If 5% or 10% means millions for you then I'd say Gratz Wink
I thought it was more like in the range of 5 % = 100 000 coins.  Wink

My suggestion is never keep too much on exchanges. Alot of people had lost their BTCs that way before.
With DigiBytes, you have even better reason (compare to Bitcoin) to not keep many of your coins on exchanges. Because the transaction is so fast, you just send them there when you need them, and be able to trade within 5 mins.




thx , just started trading a few months ago and most of my coins are still on exchange.
will start taking my long term investments ofline.

just not sure about 90% of my dgb in 1 cold storage wallet with 2 backups.
Always worried  what if it gets stolen or  house burns down , u never know.

anyway thx for the tips.
will put them to good use!

True. This might be better.
How about 50% in one cold wallet, and 40% in another cold wallet? Or different USBs with different wallets?
We all know that too few wallets means security risk (all in one basket) and too many backups means management problem so one has to find a middleway.
Recomend to use more than two backups. In worrying of "house burn", you can give one backup to someone you really trust. You can also have one backup at work, renaming the file to something else as Bluestreet recommended should be a must.

BTW, the chance or risk to get stolen is much higher at online exchanges than someone going to your home to steal your USB. Even if that happens the thief must know the password phrase to decrypt the file.


Regards and good luck!
