The SurfBar.
-
I'm not trying to rawl anybody up. I too had been running it for a long time and without any issue. It was great for daily income. Not only that it helped with the volume at ccex, who is always threatening to de-list us.
If it indeed came from the surfbar, we can learn from this and how it was discovered tied to the surfbar. If its a guess tho, its like arresting an innocent man. While the real perp commits the crime again.
All in all just looking to learn from this. I would be willing to run a vm and try to replicate it. I think another member was for the same. If we had a few ppl we could see if the ip changes maybe backtrack it a bit.
-
@k.coins It is difficult to have 100% certainty.
We simply don't see the reward and possible damages in balance. If someone wants to host the burst surfbar service on an own website as a service detached from burstcoin.biz , you are allowed to make us offers.
We had some hardcore users who made around 300 coins a day...
-
@daWallet word to that. I completely understand you guys not wanting to offer such a risk to the community. But to me, there is no smoking gun. I will contemplate the offer to host the service.
I was in the middle of perfecting my VMs so I could get to that 300 Burst/day level! Had a couple payments like that but the challenge is getting the thing to run consistently in different environments.

There are other ways to earn some coins on the side by watching video ads or doing surveys. It's not burstcoin but Satoshi/bitcoin, can easily be traded on an exchange and there is even an option to cash me outside using paypal how bout dat. (cash out via paypal as well if someone doesn't understand my meme)
-
@KyleH112 these are not passive methods of generation.... not too interested in taking surveys
-
@k.coins I just leave the video ads playing 24/7 with auto refresh every 20 minutes so it wont time out while im mining burst, I make between $3-$8 every 24 hours in Satoshi then buy burst when the market is low.
-
@KyleH112 can you share more details? what sites are you having success with?
-
Go to earn.gg and login with a gmail account, click earn located on the top menu bar , scroll down and click "Start Watching" the video will open and start playing. Only exception is the video can't be minimized.
I use chrome auto refresh set at 20 minutes so the video doesn't timeout
and
I also use OP Auto Clicker 2.1 to fast forward through the regular videos to get to the payable videos that you wont be able to fast forward.
-
@KyleH112 Brilliant man, thanks! I've heard of earn.gg recently but now have more motive to follow through lol
-
I used to do the ads and surveys on gitcoin.gg until they stopped and turned into earn.gg, I cashed out approx. 6 million Satoshi $60 USD, I just started on earn.gg last week.
-
I'll make a video when I'm off work Thursday or Friday and post up in a new thread so more people can get started and understand what to do.
-
@KyleH112 That would be sick man - thanks!
-
@haitch did any other accounts (ie online banking accounts) get compromised? or was this keylogger specifically targeting burst accounts?
-
I have a related question - Have there been any other confirmed cases of this key-logger being found on someones system? I have several that had been running it had have found no rootkits or key-loggers on any of them.
-
@k.coins i had briefly run it on my pc and laptop in October/November before switching over to a VM. Did not find any traces of it but I guess that's because this was all pre-December. I'm just getting a little paranoid because my antivirus (Bitdefender) keeps blocking a phishing attempt whenever i'm signing into one of my online banking accounts and the surfbar is the only thing that i'm thinking could be related. Usually pretty safe with downloads/links etc. Probably unrelated to this, just got me thinking is all
-
@vier23 I don't know the details, but I don't think it was targetting Burst - it was hoovering all the infected peoples web actions and clipboard info
-
well i'm almost certain i was targeted by authority or the local mob. I hide my passphrases 30 miles out of town under a rock amongst trees they won't ever guess it.
-
@ZapbuzZ I think it was raining across town did you put in a plastic bag? Last time I did that the rock I thought was a turtle and it ended up running off with my piece of paper.
-
@Burstde Lol!

@vier23 I have bitdefender too (Bitdefender internet secrurity), I like it I have to say, not so good for android as it drains quite fast the battery but for desktop is perfect. Why don't you use better Bitdefender safepay for online banking?
