As those who have lost money in the gox fiasco know, the creditors hearing is on July 23. Being in Manila right now I consider taking the trip and showing up in person at the court for that meeting.

The questions is however whether it is worth my time + expenses. Tokyo is a very expensive city and as such I would only stay there for 2 days for the hearing and then fly right back to Manila where I live right now.

The total costs, including flight and hotel, are by my estimation around 900 Eur, which is ~4% of the money I lost in gox. That being said, I've never been to japan and know basically nothing about that country.

If you were me, would you take that flight?


?

I got one too! Is there anything specific we must do? Should I contact a lawyer?

yubikeys can be used in a "static" mode, always generating the same pwd. A very long/complex passphrase can be written onto the key and serve to secure the wallet. That would not be 2-factor auth though.

BUMP! Highest bid on the empty so far: 0.06 BTC!

BUMP! Lowered the price for all coins!   

So I bought myself a yubikey and I plan to use it to create a more secure version of the main QT client whereby the regular passphrase prompt is replaced with a prompt for a one-time-password (OTP) authentication provided by the yubikey.

This will most likely require a custom built client. I can build QT on linux including necessary code changes.
There is also a yubico c library at https://github.com/Yubico/yubico-c

The question however is this:
Altough I'm somewhat familiar with the bitcoin client code, with the yubikey I'm starting at zero. What would, in your eyes, be the best way to approach this?

Has anyone attempted something similar?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

How do you plan on getting those apps onto mobile devices w/o relying on already existing appstores for those devices?
How do you plan to get around restrictions imposed by the manufacturers on apps not listed in their proper appstores?

Also meinen Segen hast du. Btw. bitcoin.de ist die letzte Seite, auf der ich jetzt noch "größere" Mengen btc gelagert hab, überall sonst hab ich das Vertrauen verloren. Danke für die gute Arbeit!

50+ pages incoming. You people are losing it...

Wollte zuerst garnix schreiben, aber nachdem ich gesehen hab, was hier andere so berichten, bin ich ja noch gut dabei.

Mir sind genau 63 BTC im Gox-Abfluss verschwunden.

Zusammen mit anderen Verlusten (bitmarket.eu sowie s/d) hab ich insgesamt genau 132 btc über die letzten 18 Monate hinweg verloren.

:/

A grand total of 132 btc in the last 18 months.

Thanks bitmarket.eu!
Thanks silkroad (one)!

aaaannndddd....

THANKS MOUNT GOX!!!!

No wonder they are all collapsing, needing a bail out every 5 minutes...

*closes account*

Yeah, maybe once upon a time back then. But much less so today. And nobody in their right mind would trust friggin nsabook with their wealth...

I have thought about make a thread like this actually!

I would advise against starting a new "Bitcoin", we are already flooded with altcoins as it is!

I would recommend switching to Litecoin, it was also developed by Satoshi and large portions of it are not in the hands of criminals (public or private sector) yet. The implementation of litecoin is not too far removed from the original Bitcoin and it is still actively developed by known developers. Just as with bitcoin, the supply of Litcoins is strictly limited, unlike Dogecoin for example which, though popular, inflates infinitely and is therefore unsuitable as a store of value.

As the second biggest market (by far!) it might be our best bet!

disclosure: if have a ~15% position in LTC.

More: php uses weak/'implicit' typing which means you never really know what type you are dealing with, unless you explicitly state so in the code. This might be fine for simple web-servers or some forum software, but it makes php inherently useless for high security applications.

^This is amateur grade code at best, and now we see the result...

edit: @gollum: Exactly!!

As a website dealing with millions of user funds, their security should have been on par with that of big banks.

Does Deutsche Bank use php? Does HSBC use fucking MYSQL??? Do any of those banks comment out lines in production code for debugging?!?!?!?


That's exactly the problem, it shouldn't be written by only one clueless guy!!!

Don't believe the fearmongerning!

The stock market will not "collapse" 50% in 2014. Sure, they will go down some day, but it will not be in 2014! Typical play on emotions, stay away from those fraudsters!

It's a pile of garbage.
If I had know this before, I would have NEVER trusted them with a single BTC, yubikey or not!

Mysql? php??? For a multi-million dollar website?!?!?!? WTF!!!

Releasing source code should be mandatory for bitcoin exchanges!
