Wallet link not working?

Thanks a lot for pointing that out! I don't know why the Bitbucket link was stripped from the OP...

In case it gets stripped again, here it is for you: https://bitbucket.org/NFDcoin/nfdcoin/downloads/

Twenty minutes after the launch. Hackers to steal  68500000 in five minutes.
More than one being attacked by hackers
why?

I really feel awful about that. One or more hackers knew about the distribution, lied in wait like a highway robber behind a boulder, and brute-forced the NFD brainwallet with a known-password table, a rainbow table and who knows what else. The NFD was stolen from accounts that he was able to crack with his malicious script.

We tried what we could to encourage people to use secure passphrases, but in the end not everyone did. Thankfully, MaWo held off on some sends because he judged some hashes to match up to weak passwords. Had he not done so, the thief or thieves would have stolen more.

I wish he had held back on the ones who got robbed, but the point behind hashes is to unrecognizably disguise the string being hashed - so he did miss a few vulnerable passphrases. And he and I did warn several times about creating secure passphrases. To be quite frank, he did go above and beyond the call of duty by finding that known-password table and hashing all the passwords therein, and comparing the known-password hashes to the hashes on the distribution list. That's the only way to find vulnerable passphrases once they're hashed, because an SHA-256 hash is impossible to reverse.

When it comes down to it, the robber was successful because he had better vulnerable-password tables than MaWo - and the accounts he robbed had vulnerable passwords!

The only way to assure a robbery-free launch would have been for MaWo and I to pick everyone's passphrase for them, each made up of 36 or more random characters, and send out each holder's passphrase via encrypted Email. But that was unthinkable for us, because it would have gone against the whole philosophy of P2P cryptocurrency. More practically, it would have introduced a "single point of failure" that would have gotten everyone robbed if something had gone wrong! That's why we didn't even think of doing that.

I would like to publicly congratulate the NFDer who was nimble enough to register the alias "Nxtblg" before I did.

Just to let everyone know, I just registered and tested the new NFD development fund wallets. Once for Bitcoin, one for Nxt and of course one for NFD. Smiley'

I have to admit to being more easygoing than MaWo. He chose 100 random characters for passphrases, I only chose 96. Wink

Here are the official NFD development wallet addresses:

Quote
BTC address: 18KAi7XzLXrsCQCwJk3Fk6u9acdGuAW4it

Nxt address: NXT-Z9UE-YAPN-RL7Z-8G3XZ

NFD address: NFD-9PHZ-HTPL-JVBR-AB73P

Added to the OP.

Just a heads-up from the Nxt world:

If you haven't seen this thread, please check it out:

"Big scam in NXT hundreds of BTC stolen with a one post"

Best estimate is that a scammer stole ~200 BTC from trusting Nxters through the Asset Exchange. The amount stolen has made the fellow who scammed us look like a small-change hustler...

Thankfully, this is one kind of "scam-dal" that has not plagued the NFD world! But please read through it and take it as a reminder to be on your guard. The trouble with the Asset Exchange is that it's 100% trust-based at the moment.

So, in the abstract, that big Nxt AE robbery was entirely foreseeable...but still...

So please be cautious. I don't know if it's me, but there seems to be a whole new crime wave directed against Nxt & its clones. The crypto world, at least seemingly, has gotten more dangerous recently . "Safety first" is inconvenient, but it doesn't hurt. Smiley

EDIT: Please withhold your judgement about the incident until all the facts are in. I meant for this post to be a "it can happen to you..." cautionary note, and nothing more.

@Nxtblg please post NFD + BTC donation addresses.
keep up the great work! - I will help spread the word.

Working on it. Smiley Right now, I'm in the middle of generating "ultra-paranoid" passphrases for the accounts' wallets. That got me a little sidetracked, as I saw how I can put together a very basic Java gimcrack that can help others generates secure passphrases for themselves.
