Where the passwords Hashed, Salted, and peppered?  How about some ketchup on them hash? Yumm.... I am getting hungry now. :p

I am offline because for some reason my PC rebooted in the night and that cleared out my username and password for logging into the server.  Have to wait now till Slush comes back online to get the miners password again. *sigh*

Passwords love pepper. They hate cinnamon.

What about the user database?  Was it compromised?  I'd hate to see bitcoins sent to the wrong address.

I have a database snapshot taken before bad guys overtook the database. So there's no reason to think payout addresses have been modified. Any change of wallet on pool profile requires email confirmation by account owner so I think we're on safe side here.

Unfortunately the user database can be considered as compromised, so the attacker knows user's emails :-(.
How were the passwords hashed?
never answer that!!!

let me rephrase: were the passwords securely hashed?

And salted?

Not to preach to you, but this is a perfect example why everyone should use unique passwords on every website.

I personally use 20+ character randomly generated passwords thanks to LastPass.  Makes secure password management so easy.

I was expecting my first payout about (was just waiting for the last final confirmations to finish up) the time the servers were taken down.

Does the website need to be back up for that to happen?

I've been mining solidly for a week about now. I happened to have a 6870 already, without having any thought about mining.

I have made about .18 BTC and lived with a lot of noise and increased power. It was fun, but the way the market it is, I feel that I could make more money on an exchange...

But then we have the problem with the exchanges charging 0.6 % per transaction, which comes down to 1.2 % per trade.
Now that is all fine and good as long as the bitcoin is flying all over the place, as soon as it doesn't though...

Exactly. But When you're seeing the price fluctuate by $10-$20 a day on average...

I just spent a good 5 minutes trying to figure out what I couldn't reply to a post. Thought it was a browser issue.

I've been registered for quite sometime too.

Re: What is best security method for MtGox? YubiKey or Software Authenticator?

I use the Google Authentication for so much stuff.

Multiple G-mail Accounts.
Dropbox.
Lastpass.
Gox


Just wish I could use it for battle.net instead of Blizzard's homegrown one.

Also wish Twitter would get multi-factor auth already...
