Re: [ANN][Pool][Profit-Switch][Optional Auto-Exchange per Coin][Vardiff] ~ Hashcows
I also got hit by 13R87ropkDKzDEuVeQoX64kkcLvPWVdTKH, Lost 0.00120115 BTC that didn't get a chance to withdraw. 
What is even more scary is they got by the 4-digit PIN that is MANDATORY to set.
Clearly there is a big security issue here, Most likely several of the Boxes running Hashcows have been r00ted. Clean back-ups should be restored and the servers wiped and rebuilt.
It would be nice to have compensation.

Oh yah no doubt they have had a full compromise.
It will be interesting to see if they figure out how, and whether they know how to fix it and whether they disclose how it happened.
We'll learn a lot about hashco.ws's in the next few days...
Re: [ANN][Pool][Profit-Switch][Optional Auto-Exchange per Coin][Vardiff] ~ Hashcows
What the mother fuck?!
0.045+ BTC gone.
I assume that HC won't do anything about refunding people??
Such a sad state. First the horrible payouts and connection issues, and now they allow everyone to be compromised and have their shit stolen. A lot of good that 4 digit pin for payouts did huh?
I was already moved off of HC due to the other issues and now this? Yeah. Safe to say i can never trust this pool again...

Well to be honest you really can't trust the majority of pools. Its not like we know the backgrounds of the people running this.
I assume that a lot of sites are rife with security issues. Doesn't stop me from mining of course, but I am wary of it all.

According to the IRC channel everyone's auto payout has been changed to 13R87ropkDKzDEuVeQoX64kkcLvPWVdTKH.
Go disable autopayments, and change your address back!

Same with mine. Changed to that address. Not a good look hashco.ws...better learn to lock down your website...
Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - middlecoin.com
Maybe front is getting ddos:ed.
Why would anyone want to DDOS Middlecoin in the first place?
Especially since this isn't even a pool that has registration...its not like its a disgruntled user.
Competing pools maybe? Who knows.
Does anyone have a working OSX binary and could upload it somewhere? I've got a quite a few macs here but am unable to compile.
Just a heads up, you should really vet any binaries anyone offers you whether here or anywhere.
That being said, I did not put any malicious code into this binary. It was compiled on OS X 10.8.5, I would assume it works on 10.9 also, but I haven't tested it.
Here's a binary for OS X I compiled:
http://69.67.252.135/jhPrimeminerOSX.zip
Here is the method I used to compile it on OS X:
Code:
Install Xcode from Appstore
Install Xcode Command Line tools (Open the Xcode application, go to the Preferences window, to the Downloads section, and click the Install button next to Command Line Tools)
Install Macports (http://www.macports.org/install.php)
From command line:
sudo xcodebuild -license
sudo port install openssl gmp git-core
git clone https://github.com/tandyuk/jhPrimeminer.git
cd jhPrimeminer
nano Makefile (remove std=c++0x from second line)
make

sudo xcodebuild -license
sudo port install openssl gmp git-core
git clone https://github.com/tandyuk/jhPrimeminer.git
cd jhPrimeminer
nano Makefile (remove std=c++0x from second line)
make
It will compile with about 3 million warnings, but it will compile.
I have read that these newly release CPU only coins, like quark and whatnot.
Why release these coins? Isn't that taking a step backwards in the speed of mining?

Speed should not be what matters for coins when it comes down to it. Accessibility should matter more.
To be honest they do something that GPU mining can't do as well:
Put the power to mine coins in the hands of more people. More people holding and using a digital currency is a good thing.
Now that being said, I'm not a fan of most CPU mined coins with the exception of Primecoin, because its mining prime numbers which can be used by engineers, mathematicians, physicists, etc...
In fact the Primecoin network has already broken some prime number records, which is really cool.
The rest of the CPU based coins, I am very "eh" about. Doesn't mean I won't mine or trade with them in the future, I just don't "believe" in the future of them right now.
Then again I don't "believe" in the future of a lot of altcoins.
Looking forward to losing newbie status and actually posting in the thread which I joined to post in!
Same. I joined to answer a question on here...poor dude has to wait for his fix.
