Plz don't tell me that I have to set the intensity level for every single algorithm for both GPUs. That's not worth the 1% fee saving compared to nicehash

I would like to test zpool on a small rig with a 970 and a 1050Ti, but I can't figure out the settings which work. If I plugin the hashrates, I always get an error which states a CPU validation error, claymore and nicehash however work as expected.

Could you please help me? Do you just sum the hash rates? Thx

My stolen BTC ended up in this accout:
https://blockchain.info/address/1Crspt3Fbx1jdWMmm2uFwzfQfvsmZvnwHg

and he/she continues in my opinion to steal from other wallets, too!

This guy had received about 0.88990851 BTC and the final balance is now about 0.0001 BTC and nobody can't stop these machinations.

so this all happened due to a trojan? Sad

I think, yes.

I doubled check my antivir now and I really have installed AVG Antivir AND Microsoft Essentials, but both were not enough to prevent the thief. However, a wallet without password protection was really dumb, life learns you the hard way, even if in that case it was not very hard at least.


From #3 and #1 I think you got infected while using IE, so a drive by infection most likely. Those few minutes while you are out there to get a safe browser... Oh well. Whats buddha.dll though? A quick research suggests sleeping dogs or Call of Duty Black Ops 2. I didnt dig to deep, but I suspect a pirated version/cheat/etc. I wouldnt know why an official release would require a download via 2shared. So #1 and #3 might have followed after you got the dll somewhere insecure. Again, I dont judge, I dont require an answer, just think about where you might have gotten the file.

Aaanyway seems like you are taking a safer route for now. While I usually argue that your own machine is safer than some server on the internet, this depends on what you are doing with your machine.

Bleib wachsam Smiley

Hm, I never played neither sleeping dogs nor COD2 on my computer. The thing is that I have received this copy of the OS from the university via MSDNAA and received a copy on my D:\ drive via an usb disk from one of my colleagues since he already downloaded it. So I just needed a new key from the university partner program with MS. Can it be that buddha.dll replicated it to my disk without somebody (antivir, etc.) knowing it? I remember that sometimes my colleagues played COD2 at the university in there spare time. I usually play LOL which is free to play.

I cannot explain it in a different way, because otherwise buddha.dll should be in a folder named "D:\CallOfDuty\buddha.dll" or something?!? Just as a guess.

Nevertheless, I learned my lesson and how "easy" BTC can be stolen from your wallet even if it was reckless to have a wallet without a password, since bitcoin-qt does not enforce it (!!) as for instance multibit does.

I think the main issue of the BTC stolen was not setting up a password in my wallet, because the software does not force you to do so. Atm I am just tired of all these security procedures in order to keep your wallet save. As I already said, I now use blockchain.info as my wallet and activated every security settings provided by the mentioned wallet. For me the effort is to high to keep your wallet save. I hope now it is^^

If ever again some BTC get stolen from my wallet, I will try a linux live cd or I quit the adventure.

In the latest Ct (a highly esteemed computer magazin from Germany) Microsoft Essentials was the best free virus protection on the market, before that I used AVG, but was not satisified at all.

Ya, after the first start of the newly setup OS I used the IE to download Chrome and Opera. Damn! My router has a very strong password generated using KeePass, which obfuscates even the copy and paste process.

At the moment my antivir (Microsoft Essentials) states that my computer should be free, even after I rebooted etc. After that I created a new wallet using blockchain.info and I hope that now I am save?!?

No, I neither downloaded any file except the DOGE-Coin wallet nor opened anything in skype. It seems very strange to me too ...

Strange indeed. Legit OS copy or a pirated version? Those might have trojans, backdoors as well. You dont need to answer this, just consider it an option. Other possibilites I can think of are:
#1 infected machine in your LAN that used an undocumented exploit on your the unpatched OS (infected after/durring setup).
#2 infected infrastructure (e.g. your router) - this would also need some sort of vulnerability of your OS or local file sharing
#3 data leak (e.g. shared the data via dropbox with your colleges)
#4 someone had hardware access to your machine (made the TX from there/copied the wallet.dat/installed something)
#5 drive by infection
#6 you use(d) WinXP or older

The OS is a legit copy, but after a complete scan of the system the antivir found three threats:
#1 "Virus found: Win32/Zperm, C:\Windows\Temp\49f48af4-b402-4745-9e9c-26cfb8983c1f\tmp0000116d\tmp00006408";"Saved"
#2 "Trojan: PSW.OnlineGames4.ZUJ, D:\buddha.dll";"Saved"
#3 "Trojan: CoinMiner.ASJ, C:\Users\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\ZLLU0VPX\wmpnetwk[1].dll";"Saved"

I think we found the colprits, but again, it seems very strange to me how they could infect the system. Inever opened any suspicious software nor I am using IE as my browser. I am on Win7 using a brand new Cisco X3500 router and it is the only cmputer in my appartment, but I have learned my lesson: be paranoid as possible, but I doubt that BTC ever arrive to the "normal" users since it is that easy to get stolen and it is to complicated to be on a save side, e.g., using linux, live cds etc.

Hm, I just downloaded the the DOGE-Coin wallet and right after the BTC were stolen. But I downloaded it from the official site. Seems very strange to me.

I already changed my payout address on the pool and will delete it later when all the BTC arrived.

First, the thief took all the BTC in my wallet. This was the transaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx/d6c75c6914c598d19fd6c0f73da0b009786e6585c57c6023ffbebdd6d7d0fecf

I used the Bitcoin-QT wallet, but I used it without any password protection. Could that be the entering gate of the thief? The thing is that the machine is a newly installed windows and I did not download anything special to it.

As a consequence, I opened an online wallet on blockchain.info with mobile 2FA and including all the security options they provide. I imported the old private key from Bitcoin-QT, where my miner sent some minor BTC:
https://blockchain.info/tx/fee2c98ead5078127b3cbb8812332f1fa110f7326d65f0f577fa0e6ee38fe861

Can this cause any risk to the new private key of the new BTC address? I will wait another week and the I delete this address from this wallet since my miner has still some immature BTC.

Thx for your advise and best regards

Hm, I did not download anything suspicious. The pc is a computer with a newly installed windows on it. I think the main mistake was that I did not set a password on my BTC wallet. I think the program should force you to use a password, but nevermind. Thx for the replies!

Coins stolen from my wallet?!?

Hi guys,

I used bitcoin-qt as my bitcoin wallet and I forgot to setup a password Sad

So today I checked my wallet and a very small amount of bitcoins were stolen:

https://blockchain.info/de/address/1CPEdjFu6TaZpPFGQ81zHaW7prtJ1pk8LV

Is there any chance I get these BTC back? Or do I have to pay to learn the lesson?

After that, I moved to multibit and saved it on several USB-Sticks with a strong password using KeyPass obfuscating. Is there anything else I have to take care of?

Thx for your help!

Regards
