| Posted: 06 Oct 2018 07:36 PM PDT Edit: Doing it. Next week i'm going to attack the coin Einsteinium on their main net, no testnet because that's not very cool (the specific coin may change to a bigger one), Oct 13, 3:00 CDT, 4:00 EDT 1:00 PST Event:https://www.twitch.tv/events/NyJSsF3hQkGHdnsKA2f4JQ Channel: https://www.twitch.tv/geocold/ Edit: I think I'll do it in like a week against a small coin like Einsteinium or the like. I might also set it up so if you donate a dollar to the stream you can send me some text that I'll throw into my forked chains overriding transaction and give that money to the EFF (and pay for the minimal cost of renting hashing power). Stay tuned. I'm considering doing a live stream of all the setup and execution of doing a 51% attack against against the bitcoin testnet so that people can see how it works in real life, not in theory. I'd also discuss how the attack works and every concept encountered along the way. I'd also talk about the security implications and how some coins go about preventing such attacks, the pros and cons of such tactics, etc. Edit: Could also just attack a small cap coin. That would let me get into some interesting game theory from an attackers perspective about what coins they want to attack, what exchanges, in what order, and what would deter them. Which is equally interesting. One thing people don't often mention is the importance of the depth of a given coins trading books because with many coins there is so little liquidity that an attacker could only sell a few thousand dollars worth of the coin before crashing its price and making subsequent cycles of the attack hard. Second edit: I realize I mistitled this and just said "the testnet" I was originally referring to the bitcoin testnet. [link] [comments]  | ||

| WTF Coinbase? Anyone else get access randomly revoked with no reasoning? Posted: 06 Oct 2018 02:28 PM PDT Anyone else have having an absolute shit time with Coinbase? November 2017 I signed up for coinbase last November and was approved within 3 days. Made my first purchase and receive litecoin, sent it off to binance to buy other alts with absolutely no issue. December 2017 Then I bought more LTC on coinbase, and sent it to Binance in December. No problems. January 2018 Then I bought some LTC on coinbase again in January, and immediately had the $500 in LTC locked on coinbase. I couldn't send, receive, sell, buy, or anything. All it said was "Buys and Sells are disabled." I contacted coinbase support multiple times in January and got nowhere. Late January, I log in to coinbase and see my LTC purchase was reversed on the coinbase platform. So, I log in to my credit card (credit card was a possible method of payment back then), and didn't see a refund on my credit card. So, I decided to just wait, because my money must be coming back to my card in the form of a refund there soon. February 2018 I still haven't receive the refund to my credit card. I see that coinbase launched phone support. So, I called them...numerous calls, they couldn't help me figure out why I my LTC purchase was reversed; they don't know why I couldn't buy or sell, why I couldn't send or receive any crypto on coinbase or GDAX. Multiple email support messages, and multiple phone calls got me nowhere. All they could say is "We have escalated this issue and will get back to you in 5-7 days. Sometimes it can take much longer." March 2018 I call coinbase again and this representative said to cancel my coinbase and GDAX account, and start a new one. There must be some issue with my account, he said. So, I made sure I didn't have any USD or any crypto in my account, and since the last purchase was canceled, I had nothing. It's not like I could have done anything with it anyway. Before I canceled, I call my credit card company, because I still didn't get refunded my actual purchase on coinbase, despite coinbase reversing the USD to LTC exchange. Meaning, for a small instant in time, coinbase must have approved my LTC purchase, thus it hit the blockchain, but coinbase immediately locked my account so I never got to see it. My credit card company said if coinbase charged me for something I never received, I am entitled to what is called a charge back. It had been 2-months since I made the USD to LTC transaction, 2-months since coinbase reversed that USD to LTC exchange, but coinbase never refunded my USD back to the card I used to make the purchase; they only reversed or rejected the transaction on their platform. Again, I did everything I could with coinbase to get them to refund me the actual USD back to my credit card. Additional information: by this time, coinbase no longer accepted credit cards. In January 2018, they stopped approving credit card transactions. So, I must have been amongst the last people to make a credit card purchase. Since I couldn't get anywhere with coinbase support after 2 months and numerous calls and emails to coinbase support, I agreed for my credit card company to issue a charge back and to investigate the transaction. 30 days later, coinbase never responded to the investigation, so my credit card company approved the charge back. Then, per the recommendation of the coinbase rep, I closed my coinbase and GDAX account, and started a new one with a new email...but I still didn't have access to any buys or sells. I was approved, I provided identification, I provided bank accounts, etc. That approval process all took about 3 hours. I called coinbase support again, and the coinbase rep said they don't know what's going on, but the said they only allow 1 account per user. I understood that, and my other accounts were canceled. They said to cancel this new account and just wait a few months to start a new one. Maybe I created one too soon after I deleted the old one, and there was an issue with multiple accounts in their shitty system or something. So, I wait until September 2018 Details about me: Never arrested, no criminal history, hell I don't even have a speeding, parking violation, or car accident in the last 5 years. Nothing bad on my record. Fast foreword to September of 2018 (last month), and I have moved to a new state from when I originally signed up for coinbase. I have a new drivers license, new address, but same bank accounts I previously had listed on coinbase. I tried signing up again with a new email, and was immediately approved for the coinbase account. I linked my bank accounts, no problem. I get additional verification so I can increase my daily limits, no problem. I sign up for coinbase pro, no problem. But, I have everything disabled on my coinbase account. I can't buy, I can't sell, I can't transfer crypto to or from coinbase...but I can transfer up to $250,000 via wire transfer. I am not allowed to perform ACH transfers though. The only thing I'm allowed to do is transfer $250,000 via wire transfer FROM my bank TO coinbase. I am not allowed to send any money FROM coinbase TO my bank account. Nor am I allowed to make any USD to BTC/ETH/LTC exchanges. Why the fuck am I allowed to send $250,000 from my bank to coinbase but not do anything with it? Not even send it back to my bank? So, my question is...WTF COINBASE!? I just contacted support this week and received this message as a response to my question about why I can't buy, sell, send, or receive crypto on coinbase or coinbase pro (previously called GDAX). Here is coinbase support's response:
Seriously, WTF? I'm not allowed to use their platform, and they can't tell me why. They can't recommend any way to remedy the situation. Surely, coinbase, if you don't allow someone to use your platform, you have a reason, right? Or, do you just randomly choose some people to reject for the hell of it? You're telling me, you're a legitimate organization that wants to be the onramp for US citizens to get into crypto, but you decline/reject/refuse some people without any information about why they are declined/rejected? TL;DR: WTF coinbase? Seriously, WTF are you randomly removing the ability to perfrom buys and sells for no reason, then when asked why, you refuse to inform the user (me) why they are no longer allowed to use the platform? Do you think I'm a criminal because 100% of my purchases go to binance or IDEX instead of staying on your platform? Are you upset that after 2 months of you holding my money, I finally chose to contact my bank to get it resolved for me? Anyone else having an absolute shit time with coinbase?
