There's a hard fork in less than a week and no binaries have yet been released ?!

Any binary that is v0.9.x is compatible. So, the first compatible version was released in December I believe.

Watching Vanilla Scam and Dash Scam get pumped while Monero stays even for the day. Huh

Worked out for me! Cheesy

But I have no faith in BTC so I cashed it out the last few months and cannot accure more without using otb or us getting a pairing. Anyone wants to do a OTB sale to me can PM. As you can see I will only buy in the dips.

Just for SlapHappy as requested. BTW slap you can pm me when you want to act like an adult and I'll consider your words on whether to remove you from ignore. Questioning my integrity and calling me a liar is pretty much a line you don't come back from.

If I understood correctly (bear in mind that this rarely happens Tongue

) fluffypony was referring to the possibility of MITM attacks.

In part yes, but also malware on your computer. There is no substitute for cold storage, paper wallets, good hardware wallets, etc.

So, afaik, there is nothing less secure with the wallets created with mymonero (discounting the 13 vs 24 word mnemonic).

If you, for whatever reason, used mymonero to create a coldish wallet, and never login again, you should be pretty safeish.

That is true assuming you are completely sure that nothing was compromised when you created it. Hard to really know that.

Well, what I wanted to convey is that, if one has already created the wallet for cold storage in mymonero, either the coins are already gone or they are still there. Tongue

Therefore, accessing mymonero just to transfer the coins to another cold storage may in fact worsen your chances of getting hacked. It would be safer to wait for the code to restore short mnemonic seeds to be available for offline use. Either through simplewallet or a third party client.

I'll just speculate here, but I believe what was ultimately referred to was the vulnerability of MITM when accessing mymonero via Tor because outproxies are essentially just "men in the middle" and anyone using them is trusting that they are benign. I'm pretty sure that if you see the https in standard clearnet, things are encrypted end to end so noone in the middle can read your stuffs. This doesn't prevent malware on your end from swiping your stuffs though. Keyloggers I guess would be the main thing. Or if your text input into the mymonero login is stored temporarily in any fashion. But ultimately I don't really know what I'm talking about, I'm just piecing together what I've gathered so far.

What concerns me is the amount that was stolen. That had to have been one of the larger if not the largest wallet on there. That says to me someone either targeted him specifically or had/has access to that info. I would not consider MyMonero safe for other than pocket change. And expect that someday every one of those accounts will be emptied. The Odds of only his account (specifically such a large one) going through a poison Tor node are So extremely low I can't even entertain the thought of that being the method of compromise.
