Hello,
I have to reinstall windows 10 on which I have the GUI wallet installed monero-gui-win-x64-v0.11.0.0. Which files should I save and where do they find to restore the wallet content to the new installed windows?
Is this the file XMR_wallet.keys?
Thanks

Yes, it is a *.keys file you need to access your wallet.

In which folder of windows 10.0 is this file located?
Thanks!

With the latest Windows QT wallet, how do I put listen=0 in the daemon config?
My bandwidth is strictly limited so I need to limit everything non essential.
With bitcoin you put that line "listen=0" in bitcoin.conf where the blockchain data is stored.
This is what I am trying to do, but for Monero QT windows 64-bit wallet :
https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#disable-listening

Monero isn't a Bitcoin derivative, but there is a similar option: --p2p-bind-port 127.0.0.1
This will restrict listening to incoming connections to the loopback interface (ie, only those coming from the local machine).

I think it's set as "rpc-bind-port=127.0.0.1" in the config file, but I'm not 100% sure about that one since I don't use one.

Damn, we can use conf files for the GUI wallet? I guess I should do more reading! Tongue

Thanks!

"Hackers hack unpatched windows servers to make money"

How is this news?

they had 3 months of exploit and only made 63k? lmao, lame.

I'm pretty sure all of these servers running IIS 6 are very old servers with older CPUs which is why they aren't gonna get the hash rate that you would expect with a newer CPU. I've seen it where a company has some older servers that they are afraid to patch because they could cause some legacy app to stop functioning. So, they are put on a Do Not Patch (DNP) list. Not a good solution but it ends up being a stop gap until the application can be updated to a newer technology stack.

Hackers Exploiting Microsoft Servers to Mine Monero - Makes $63,000 In 3 Months

Mining cryptocurrencies can be a costly investment as it takes a monstrous amount of computing power, and thus hackers have started using malware that steals computing resources of computers it hijacks to make lots of dollars in digital currency.
Security researchers at security firm ESET have spotted one such malware that infected hundreds of Windows web servers with a malicious cryptocurrency miner and helps cybercriminals made more than $63,000 worth of Monero (XMR) in just three months.
According to a report published by ESET today, cybercriminals only made modifications to legitimate open source Monero mining software and exploited a known vulnerability in Microsoft IIS 6.0 to secretly install the miner on unpatched Windows servers.

Websites like piratebay and faucethub and mining monero with the website visitor's CPU. I found the below blog about mining Monero even without a website like piratebay. Not sure is this workable. anyone tried?
http://bitcoinspedia.blogspot.my/2017/09/how-to-mine-monero-xmr-with-blog.html

This might actually be an interesting way for creators to make a little extra, but they should be open about it and not mine without any warning...

Right like showtime streaming service!!! Waiting for the lawsuit, there is no way they ran this past the lawyers!

Far more likely this was a rogue IT/WEB person's work.

Is there a way to block this script running in Firefox, I've found an add-on called NOSCRIPT (I've not yet installed it) but are there other/better alternatives ?
One suggestion it to put "https://coin-hive.com/lib/coinhive.min.js" into AdBlock, but I don't use that anymore (now using 'uBlock Origin', can't remember why I changed).

EDIT 1:
Another suggestion is to add "127.0.0.1 coin-hive.com/lib/coinhive.min.js" to the Windows 'host' file.

EDIT 2:
Also found this, https://github.com/hoshsadiq/adblock-nocoin-list

I mean DASH cant be worse than Bitcoin and it scales better. The only thing that I dont like is that they advertise themselves as anonymous which they aren't, and that is dishonest advertising which will cause a lot of harm to naive people.

And that would be their downfall.

dont forget about the really bad insta-mine that dash had in the beginning, the devs probably still have a load of those coins right now.

Since you put lots of time to understand Monero i hope that you know that classical mantra that " They already had their system cracked a couple of years ago, with all previous transactions exposed," never happened.

Quote from: garytheasshole on September 26, 2017, 08:56:01 AM

Let me try to get this straight, he's trusting dash's masternodes to keep his anonymity, but doesn't trust monero because there might be some magic key that renders monero anonymity useless, without any hints or even far fetched theories that such key even exists? Great foundation for a religion, all glory to the monero magic key!

I know they are bullshitting us in the Dash thread. The bigger the vulnerability the bigger is their trolling efforts to cover it up.

When I first went there, havent posted there before, they immediately started calling me a troll for just asking simple questions.

Now what community does that, unless they have something big to hide?

Quote from: Hueristic on September 26, 2017, 09:17:28 AM

Without scams like dash this scene would have moved forward so much faster, it like M$ fucking over the OS industry and look where we are now.

I can understand your frustration, I also don't like dishonest, but perhaps they have their own utility without it.
