Re: warning if you use your mt. gox password on mybitcoin!

I wonder why so many people trust "online wallets", especially after the whole Sony mess.

I advise everyone to keep their bitcoins on their own computer. At least there is no one else to blame if they are stolen. You have it in your hands to protect your wallet...

i use mybitcoin for portability. I wonder if it would be possible to use appspot http://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/

it's mtgox and the hacker's fault. it's not theirs.

That's a pretty resourceful hacker that has the skill to force thousands of bitcoin users, against 20 years of internet security advice, to use the SAME PASSWORD on every site.  I tip my hat to him.

i'm not saying it's not my fault, of course a lot of its my fault for having the same password.

due to me loosing 0.22 bitcoin because idiots got into my mybitcoin account, i know have generated separate 15 char passwords with symbols for every account that I have remembered that I have. Saved an encrypted copy on my comp, and printed several out and hid them around my home. Am i going over the top?

Same thing happened to me. Very stupid of me. I caught the MtGox news a bit too late. By the time I had checked, the BTC I had with MyBitCoin had already disappeared!

I have since then changed my passwords on almost any site I can think of to something considerably more secure (and varied for each account/usage).

Thankfully I only lost 2.6 BTC. Sadly, that's still a good chunk of change for me right now. I do believe most of that was made through mining, so it's not a total loss.

Anyone willing to help a moron recover some of his lost BTC with some donations?  Grin In the extremely unlikely chance that you are, PM me!

I'm changing all my passwords to... things like ' 5%[">s)Lv[tb{

I'm just going through all of my accounts on things, changing the passwords to unique random strings. I've learned my lesson here!

TipBit: profile page with bitcoin address.
by
CalumMc
on 17/06/2011, 18:55:22 UTC
Hello,

A few days ago, I decided to try out myb.tc.  It looked really good at first, but I soon realised that you had to pay Sad I know it's not much but, I decided to make my own site.

So I came up with TipBit (http://tip.b.it.cx), a kind of bitcoin profile/address page.  You can sign up for free atm and have a profile with name/bitcoin address/infomation on.  Your page url would be tip.b.it.cx/yourname.  To see an example please go to http://tip.b.it.cx/calummc/ (my page!).  You can also tip users directly with MyBitcoin by filling in the amount in the text box.

I would like it if some people could check it out and tell me what they think.

Last time bitcoin jumped from 2 to 30 dollars and the news story was on some random website. Now this might even hit the news.

it doesn't actually mention bitcoin, not that people can't find out though.
