last 4 days and the progress made before
well last few days, to be straight forward simply sucked. It started about 12 days ago, with me getting this broken (or maybe not) router. This problem was solved quickly and so i was happy to claim, to be back next day, not knowing, what happened next. When i got the new router i did put it online, wrote a few mails and whent to bed, planning to configure the device the next day. In the morning then, i found already two new adnin accounts in the router, and while figuring out, how this could have happened i realized a connection frmn/to my computer. I immediately cut the rope and was offline again. in the last 5 days i found each and every device in my network exploited. Yesterday i decided, that this cannot waste my time any more. I have a single, usable device left, that is clean. Its an old DELL, that seems to be to old to be infected. I also ordered and installed a hardware firewall and network security device now. Said so, i am back. I will describe the exploitation at the bottom of this post, maybe someone of you has an idea and can enlighten me. I will now focus back on whats importand, the financecloud, i am not willing to allow suckers like this, to waste all my time. Even more, people, that are intercepting, stealing and violating other peoples live, are no better than the crackpots, that are around in the finance and political space, and they are just making me angry enough to keep going even harder. There are bad actors, that claim to be an anarchist, just to justify acting outside of any ethical framework. This is not whats named an "anarchist", it whats named an "asshole". They are the opposit of an anarchist, they are control-freaks ...... but lets forget about that ...
Progress
except of the las 4 days, the work continued, despite being offline, just as usual. Ther was enough stuff to do, that did not require an internet connection.
I met with Olaf (Hardware Manager) and retought our current harware concept, because the needs have changed (good, i waited with producing) we added a Kondensator based shutdown process with memory protection and most importantly, audio components for the voicecontrol. luckily Olaf comes from the studio industies and has been able to add plenty of knowledge about microphones.
i managed to integrate some audio components on my development environment and the financecloud was able to speak its first word.
This was a great "heureka, it's alive!" like moment
And this kind of work is exactly what is going on now. I really want to be able, to create a "heads up" in November in Malta.
Bittrex
I had some conversations with Richard, Bill and others from Bittrex. First we talked about some regulative stuff for Europecoin and the problem, that ERC could be seen as a "Security" in the U.S. because of the TERMDEPOSIT function. Because i refused to take fuNCtionS away from users, especially without their consent, I had several meetings with their layers and we found a way, to get around this, by giving Termdeposit users a small job in the future, that takes the "unconditional earnig" factor out of the game, without enoying the user.
Over the time and the meetings we have been talking very much about the stuff and the policies going on around Bittrex and we had the opportunity to find similarities in the needs of Bittrex and the needs of Europecoin Financecloud, especially from the regulation standpoint. I have been able to raise awareness abozut our work and so they wrapped their mind around oUr project and took the time to understand it. As a result we have decided to work closer together and to support each other. In return there is the idea to make a sleak intergration of the Bittrex API into the FINANCECLOUD TRADING DASHBOARD and we are in the progress of defining our collaboration. More about that later.
So far so good,
wish me luck, to stay save,
looks that someone is watching me,
but for now, he wasn't able to harm me,
lets hope, is stays like that.
Have fun
Matthias.
The exploid:
on independent machines, of some with locked and protected bios, A fresh linux install will start installing a controlpanel, and a gdm3/dbus based spying environment with a remote desktop. I did not find, where this function is sitting and it keeps up comming. I have my bios locked (since ages), i formated the Harddrives, inlcuding masterboot, but no chance. I used the debian based "subgraph" distibution, wich normally is a pretty good and secure basis. Any ideas are welcome.
