Something to make perfectly clear:

There is absolutely no reason to suspect anything other than minerd at this point (and the evidence so far is fleeting). Yacoind is fine.

It is not exactlt FUD! See here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2109275 that bugger Limitless did it!
WOW dude you clearly have some kind of agenda against Limitless, you wont listen to anything anybody is telling you about the thread, Limitless started the thread with a link to a well know github repo not compiled binaries, other people posed binaries in the thread, in what universe is the OP responsible for what random people do on the internet.

why are there two threads?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/yacoin-bitcoin-stealing-claim-list-facts-only-202089

should not both OPS work together to make one post?  or lock one sticky the other?

if i was a betting man, i'd put my money on the oversized "antivirus free" minerd.

Betting on irony?

Themida ("protection software") is used intentionally as a code obfuscator, preventing detailed analysis of the binaries. Hence, the suspicion.

nocompare / Jr. Member / Posts: 14 / yacoin developers are a bunch of crooks, steals 900 BTC
https://blockchain.info/address/1RPrtamTACe1TcqkX2FmWVtRzmQJ6CfRx

I am quitting bitcoin.. Lost bitcoin in bitcoin 24.. lost bitcoin in blockbet.. NOW SOMEONE HACK MY WALLET

He lost BTC on bitcoin-24? Strange... I got my BTC(20.50) from Bitcoin-24 less than 24 hours after having requested them when he reopened the exchange to allow withdrawals.
Not buying a word of what that dude says.

I can confirm "cpuminer-scrypt-jane-win32.zip (modified minerd to mine yacoin on multiple computer)" does not talk to the given host below, at least not within the first 30 minutes.  Ran it with wireshark and  a filter of ip.dst == 31.170.160.169

host bitcoin-ticker.netne.net
bitcoin-ticker.netne.net has address 31.170.160.169
bitcoin-ticker.netne.net mail is handled by 0 mx.000webhost.com.

THIS IS NOT REAL.  Not one legitimate person has shown any proof. I've looked at every host file, data source, etc.. and there is nothing malicious about the YAC files from when they were released.  If you downloaded from somewhere else than that might be different.  The original links are perfectly fine.  STOP LYING.

+1, only 1 screenshot was posted and that only showed that there was 'something' detected. No one has given any screenshots of transactions out of any of there wallets.

I think this was just a well orchestrated FUD against YAK


Round 1: +10 for YAC   and....  -1000 for FUD dudes

Obviously YAC is causing a stir and people desperately want in--- Just mine it foo!  Mine them Yacs!

I'm still waiting for an online merchant please start accepting so I can buy some stuff?

Someone should send https://cookies4coins.net/ an email, eh?

Looking at the transactions on the blockchain, I noticed all of the addresses that sent bitcoin to 1RPrtamTACe1TcqkX2FmWVtRzmQJ6CfRx received funds right before they were "stolen". Ofc, I haven't checked all of them, but will check a few more to be sure.

Not really well orchestrated... it was very amateurish and included 2-3 guys at most.. some of those accounts are operated by same person, they used perfectly same style and had same english level.

And even whole idea was amateurish, you can't do that on forum filled with lot of geeks. It can last for half an hour but that's nowhere near enough to fulfill your plans.

For what it is worth:

run as:

made only these connections over the course of 8 hours.

  TCP    192.168.1.27:57599     54.215.7.83:8080       ESTABLISHED

stat(2) appears to not show any of bitcoin, litecoin, terracoin wallets touched
(as in stat'ing continuously from another process in case of touch'ing back)


Shrill claims from either side are pretty useless.

Compiling from source increases the comfort factor, but it is no guarantee unless you read and
understand all the code first. To do that you have to be both capable and (a priori) interested enough.

Site bitcoin-ticker.netne.net has been redirected to 127.0.0.1 in my hosts list.

I would suggest doing that, then backing every wallet in your system and transferring to a new wallet if you believe you have been compromised. Common sense.

And yes having an unencrypted bitcoin wallet (or any wallet) with substantial funds is stupid. Double facepalm worthy.

Could you please tell me how I go about redirecting a url to my localhost?

Totally uninterested in whether it happened or not. The problem here is 10.000 morons downloading pre-compiled code and running it without the developers having a shred of credibility. Even if it's fine THIS time it's bound to happen very soon considering all you have to do is announce a new 'coin' and post a link and BAM, you got 10k people installing your virus and thanking you for it.
Completely agree with you here.  I have been having the same thought for the past few days.
