A big 'UP' for all the Knights who were able to join last nights' teamspeak session. Grin

I feel that every time we meet up, we strengthen the understanding between us, and thus make the team more able to meet the challenges we will face in making Zeitcoin the worlds' favourite currency.

For sure, there will be another one next weekend - same time unless there is a consensus for a change.

Reminder for the rest -

You only have 12 days to claim one of the 5 available seats at the high table - after that you face a long wait.

Just saw the news about BTER. Seems I took a hit. I hope not too many others were affected. We were warned. Here's the latest on what BTER have to say on their website :-

7170 BTC got stolen from our cold wallet in this transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/f5b0363f03e1ed8bb812c135361ea93590c831ce9f13a3750be1b93575baccc6

720 BTC bounty for chasing it back.

All wallets have been shut down and withdrawals of the unaffected coins will be arranged later.

Question 1: If it's a cold wallet, how can the coins be stolen?

Question 2: Are we fated in that just as we get to the top of a coin vote poll, the exchange closes down!? We were at least 8th out of 256 and rising faster than all the other coins on BTER.

Q1: Inside job. If you have the private key everything is possible. Cold storage isn't a solution. Thief can import the key --> the wallet is hot.
Different scenario: Bruteforcing with vanitygen, high calculation power and a lot of luck. (watch my signature - It took ~10 Minutes with an old AMD card.)

There are some webpages with thousands of random-generated keypairs - If a key matches with an existing key (let's say the thief is monitoring all accounts >1000 BTC against his database) he would be the winner. And the next question could be: Is "thief" the right term then? (I don't know how key generation in Bitcoin core works, but if it works with a system time randomizer, you could try to generate addresses with a manipulated system time. But that's only a thought.)

A "good" key generation could be: Mouse moving + personal message + systime + actual CPU temperature + ID of the third process in your taskmanager + hash of the current block.

Had too much beer today.

Cheers,
Ray

Best Reason in the world to be on Multiple Exchanges, as you never know when one will implode.
Also a reason to limit the amount of coins on an exchange to only a small amount at any given time.
Strange how the exchanges with alot of chinese exposure are getting zapped at the moment ,
crypto-trade and now bter both offline.

No Matter, ZEIT marches on ,
For all that have a Bleutrade account , please submit a support ticket asking them to add zeitcoin.
For all going into Zeit voting withdrawal ,
No Worries, https://hitbtc.com/vote
Free Voting, don't even need to sign in, they just limit 1 vote per ip address.

Cool

I would add C-cex to the list of the exchanges people may vote.
https://c-cex.com/?id=vote
I voted right after my suggestion of adding ZEIT to the list of the coins to vote was accepted, and for now we have altogether 2 votes (Vavarin?). Anyway, we need like 200+ votes and I believe we will be able to collect them. The more exchanges the coin is available, the bigger the community and harder that problems of one exchange may corner the coin - see Cryptsy, BTER, any other exchange.

c-cex is unprofessional in my experience. had coins locked up there for weeks while nobody responded to my support requests. sounds familiar? limited experience with bleu but it was good in my few trades.

well it appears hitbtc may have been hacked as well. withdrawals are disabled.

i like the idea of a ZEIT/XMR market on poloniex. always good to have goals other than just a higher market cap imo.

Alternative are always the best in that case.

Don't rub it in! Does anyone have a screenshot of the BTER vote - old, or new? I have an idea.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/daxw12ifcf21wey/Coin%20Voting%20-%20Bter.com%20.zip?dl=0

Unzip it and then double click on
Coin Voting - Bter.com - Bitcoin and Crypto-currency Exchange Platform.htm

It will pull the graphics up from the other folder and should look normal.

Cool

That was fast!!! I extracted all the information that I needed and it was all smack bang up to date. Thanks. I'm amazed at the ability that our community possesses. I bet that there are lots out there who don't know what's going on with BTER. The more that know what has happened the better - so that we can somehow act together to stop this sort of thing happening in the future. An altcoin council perhaps?

well BTER news are really disgusting:
7170 BTC stolen - https://bter.com/

I've just seen this Cointelegraph report on the BTER hack:- http://cointelegraph.com/news/113494/bter-gets-hacked-for-175-million-in-bitcoin Some speculation that it was an inside job. Second time it has happened. The cold wallet thing was picked up upon.

You mean like coinex.pw - known too well to all these who are with ZEIT from the beginning?
Personally, it wouldn't surprise me at all. Also timing of such a news is more than appropriate, as BTC was slowly setting the ground for a rebound.

Server Address - 87.112.161.175

I suggest we stick to the same format as last week i.e. a general chit-chat & 'get to know each other' session & only start the 'serious' Knight-work after the application window closes, or the maximum of 15 Knights are confirmed - just to be fair to any late-comers Wink

I hope that at least some of those who missed the first session will be able to join in with this one.

@Lion,
Might want to post where to download the team software, and a few simple instructions how to connect.

Thanks.

Cool

http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads

Install, run, Menu > 'Connections' > 'Connect' > enter IP & PW, done

Though running the setup wizard - Menu > Settings > Setup wizard - is probably a good idea.

NOTE - This is an hour earlier than I posted yesterday.

The server is actually online now, but I won't be active until the stated time. I think it's my ISP that's preventing a static IP being held but no biggie, really.

Apparently they haven't been bugged about ZEIT enough to try and load up their wallet and check though, if you look at the status here: https://cryptorush.in/status_old

Yeah I think our trust of CR was obliterated and it is going to take a lot to earn it back.

Quote from: jwinterm on February 15, 2015, 11:48:11 AM

It says the database balance for ZEIT was nearly 2B coins tho Shocked

That was a lot of Zeit! Wow!

Quote from: gregofdoom on February 15, 2015, 11:51:35 AM

I am very curious if they will look the same as with our friends from MINTCoin Wink

We can hope! I'm saving up as many Doge as I can to trade in for Zeit on our 1 year anniversary!
