What is BitShares PTS (proto-shares)?

[rando]

what do you mean? if you gave then the code, they import right into virus!
i have sent email to aws to see if they will remove the virus get address...
but that won't stop the prolly 100k machines that ARE MINING YOUR CHAIN!!!
if there's no point to mining, or even having a wallet, when 8/10th STOLEN!!!
I GUESS WHAT I AM ASKING IS are you in on it, or does pts keep running on 100k botnet...
BEEEEER seems to be only pool left... and gets like 5 blocks for every hundred...
somewhere the botnet is still hashing...

So, you letting them steal your futures?

Where are you getting this info that 100k machines are from a botnet? Wondering where to look to verify this.

unfortunately it's kinda normal that altcoin mining software is flagged as malicious by antivirus companies
happened to my primecoin mining software too (to my binaries!) after botnet operators started to use it
i guess it happens for the protoshare miners too

of course you'll always have to trust the one who's offering binaries if you choose to use software from other users on your own
on the other hand: build it yourself, it's open source for a reason

just my 2 cents

this.

also, doesntmatter stop trolling.

I certainly am not in on it!    This is one of the arguments for the use of ASICs.   It is impossible to create an Open Source, CPU coin, that is not subject to botnets.

Why do you say impossible?

Surely we can find a way.

Its impossible because it means there must be centralized instance controlling who is allowed to mine and who is not. That is exactly the opposite of what a opensource cryptocoin should be designed for. CPU coins will always be a target of botnets.

[xolokram]

nope, it is not

I received my payout. plus, how would it be possible to code a virus to the miner when the source code is public?

[doesntmatter]

how? they and their botnet switched ip and are off eating all the blocks... still...
could get the ip the virus connects to now, but i have a feeling is shielded, unless you bot there..lol...
and he still won't payout? lol

Shut em down!

the virus is from one of the founders? or programmers?

gave the code out a lil early to SOMEBODY ??? i can give you the origin ip too, just get it off the virus manifest... and maybe do something about it?

DNS Requests: ypool.net (213.165.94.246)

Looks like the virus writers were aware of ypool and given the release date (November 4th) ypool was an unknown quantity.

The proof of work algorithm was public for about 2 weeks prior to launch.

i believe someone may have just proved you idea unsuccessful by stealing all pts, well 8/10... and counting... with a virus compiled on the 29th of october...!

Say what?   Evidence?

[andhar]

Virus?

What is going on?:P
