old Nokia phones had a great UI before they added all the 'smartphone'-crap. I hear you! Those were the days, when your phone would react instantly to keypresses, and so reliably that you could type and send entire SMS without l

Thanks for your honest reply. It still seems like a pretty risky gamble to me (esp. since you mention no download limits), but wish you good luck with your service.

This looks mighty fishy. They claim to be based on Glacier, yet their plans (1TB and up) are cheaper than Glacier itself. They offer 5TB for $500/yr, on Glacier it costs $600/yr. Even more worrying, they don't mention any r

There's a difference between making an educated guess and "have no clue what you are talking about" ... See the comment by qnr.

most coins (no reference, just surmising) are in exchanges rather than wallets owned by the end user. Wrong. And this is why these Bitcoin debates are so annoying and repetitive. For some reason everyone feels entitled to their little doo

The point is that most people are never going to adopt Bitcoin if they have to worry about the technical side of securing their own funds And most people are never going to buy physical gold because they have to worry about the technical

Since you appear to be struggling with the basic concept of bitcoin, here's the first phrase from Bitcoin.org for you: Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority or banks

This looks terrible. An "almost-JSON" with... macros? Seriously? What problem is this looking to solve? Why not just use TOML or YAML?

I'd suggest to rather use easy-rsa[1] because wrestling bare OpenSSL is not something you want to do unless you absolutely have to. [1] https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa/blob/master/doc/EasyRS

Either you exercise control over what you send, or you don't. This has nothing to do with your choice of configuration method.

Classic UNIX behavior was also to have plaintext passwords in /etc/passwd, the shadow file was invented much later... But why should we jump through hoops for something that was broken over 15 years ago ? Do you still filter ping

1. It's easy to grab the whole environment and print it out (can be useful for debugging) or send it as part of an error report for instance. If you have software in your deployment that will send "error reports" to untrust

Lesson 1: Don't publish your passwords. Lesson 2: When using AWS then use Billing Alarms[1]. It takes about 1 minute to setup and enables e-mail or SMS notifications at dollar-thresholds of your choice. [1] http://docs.aws.a

A good password manager generates a new, strong, random password for each site, stores them in a file and encrypts the file with a key that is derived from a user provided password via one of the aforementioned methods (PBKDF2 or scrypt). T

It sounds like you're asserting that Bitcoin Don't put words in my mouth, I never suggested anything like that. In Bitcoin the private key is derived from the public key which is normally randomly generated and not provided by

No, SHA-256, the way you use it, is not "far too slow for brute-force". To anyone reading here: Please do yourselves a favor and stay away from BOTH SuperGenPass and from this one. They are nearly equivalent to using the same pass

If you read the analysis in the article, it would take many years to crack a random password with this hash function. You are wrong. Your analysis is based on the premise that an attacker might be able to compute "a billion hashes pe

Stanford published a paper that is basically the exact same model Um yea.. "basically". Except they demand an 'ultra-slow' hash function in that paper. You ignored that requirement and that makes your implementation eq

This is why beginners should not design crypto, much less encourage others to use their creations... Do not use this, it's a textbook example of how to not do it.

Pretty small? Verizon was just used as an example here, the same attack vector applies to every mobile carrier in the world.

it's next to impossible to get access to the SS7 network Tobias claims the opposite in the video. He says you can easily rent access from a Carrier (e.g. Verizon) or buy a Femtocell[1][2]. Both approaches seem rather affordable (&quo

First off, 750 hosts don't have 15k CPUs. The ganglia metric likely refers to cores and doesn't account for hyperthreading. And, again, 750 hosts is not too bad for an operation the size of Wikipedia. A running server doesn&#x27
