Beware!!! someone drained my miner wallet...
-
@daWallet 35 character
Is there way to change my passphrase? or way to change my wallet address? without replotting my HD?
-
@rocky Can you tell us more about your passphrase? It is burned anyway - but maybe we can learn from this.
Your Burst went to this Account:
http://burstcoin.biz/address/2515112635864454355
Many smaller balances lost their Burstcoins to this Account. Looks like he's trying out short password combinations. That's why a long passphrase is so important.
You have to replot with a new Account, because your mining rewards are going to the Account your passphrase is known now.

Can we not ban this wallet address? or anyway to stop him joining the community?

Can we not locate where he sent the rest of the bursts? It might went to an exchange site. We can ask the admin of the exchange to stop this account.
-
@belijone We can't ban or reverse what happened. There is no authority in this decentralized network.
Yes, you can ask the Exchanges, but he can make a fresh Account, transfer the funds and cash out the $ 0,6.
Be your own Bank means also that you have to be careful with your passphrases. I hope rocky will enlighten us how his passphrase could be guessed.

It was my fault creating a simple passphrase hence it was only my miner wallet not the main wallet. I've already learn from that mistake being careless. I just post this one to alert BURST community that there are people who receives God intelligent gift and used it in bad way. @daWallet my passphrase is very simple and easy to figure out from q back to o.

Sorry for your loss Rocky.
@daWallet In your opinion, how many characters minimum should the passphrase made of in order to be safe (in theory) ?
-
@Gadrah_ The auto-generated 12 words with spaces are really really strong. They have an entropy of 128 bit - which some even consider as overkill.
Here a cartoon:
As you see 4 random words are better than a short difficult to remember password.
We don't use 44 bits of entropy as shown in the cartoon with 4 random words, we use 128 bits of entropy by a very long wordlist with 12 words by default.Edit: Here another interesting article about 128 bits of entropy: https://micahflee.com/2013/01/no-really-the-nsa-cant-break-your-crypto/

Maybe its time to create a way to change our password using the same accoount. Burst is far enough along now that we can focus on this.
@ let me know what your address is to help you with the donated funds.
-
@Burstde You can't change your pass phrase - your account ID is derived from your pass phrase, change the phrase, change the account ID.

Woooo now.
BURST-2JGY-A5ZQ-SRN8-2N4DZ (100.000 to Jeff Tomasek)That is my wallet, and I can tell you with 100% certainty that I did not do that!
When I first saw the name I thought the wallet might have been a really old wallet. One of the old wallet (non-all-in-one wallets) used to start you with a blank / new wallet that I changed the name on but never used, but that is one of my current wallet address.
I have created a new wallet since the above wallet was created, however that is a MINING wallet for me! Can you give me some transaction information for that? I want to see what the hell happened because I for sure don't want my name associated with anything like that!
-
@tomahawkeer sorry for my mistake, BURST-S78M-MRHE-5H8L-4TVT7 -> BURST-P3Y3-MKHT-PX7G-DBQWM it's polo address, he send bursts to polo and sell.
you send from polo 100k to yours address?
-
@Blago Yes I did recently send 100k from polo to that address
-
@tomahawkeer
this is an honest transaction
-
Scared me, I looked through all the transactions on the account and didn't see it. Was about to say if someone else saw 100 coins going to my account then its either not legit or something is really messed up with the wallet. Glad that's straight lol.
First transactions on that account were just back on July 11 so glad I didn't have to go through years worth on it.
-
@all Here is the lesson to learn from this: Have a VERY strong pass. My pass is just me smashing my keyboard and it is more than 100 Characters. Then if you want to have a more easy account to get into make make another with an easier pass and send it a little burst.
-
I tend to use the generated passwords, however smashing the keyboard is as good as it gets, that is what I would recommend.
-
@all you can also create a passphrase just like the original of burst with 12 words but in another language than english... I'm pretty sure that if it's not in english there will be no much dictionary's for them to try. Use an ancient or death language if you want xDD
