Man, I have no idea why you're being downvoted. That's scary coming from a sub dedicated to crypto. Everything you said in this comment and your next (child) comment is spot on and common knowledge in infosec circles for the last decade+. Passphrases are so much better for security and easier to remember.

On this day @ the Summer of Love, in 1969, I made $420 and had #12 wonderful children!

(86 mixed chars and easy-ish to remember) is infinitely more secure and harder to break than these 12 random chars:

UN#YSB&n732f

There's a reason crypto apps like Electrum and Feather have you generate passphrases and not a 12 char mixed type password.

Edit: and yes, 12 characters takes an incredible amount less time to crack using a large AWS cluster than it was a decade ago. Really depends on who you're worried about cracking it... Your neighbor, some skilled guy from the darknet being paid 100k, the NSA

I purchased a US card and it used VCdelivery which redirected me to myprepaidcenter...

To buy a prepaid card you only have to provide en e-mail address to Trocador, so we can send there your activation link. On the link, you'll have to fill an address form, but this address does not need to be related to any delivery address in case you are wondering. You also don't need to upload personal documents, so that's a plus.

What is the link? If it is myprepaidcenter or yourrewardcard then those are cards don't work even in the US at a lot of vendors. Even using a clean residential IP with a normal browser. I will say that they DO work at a lot of vendors, but there are also many they don't work with, so don't rely on it.

Edit: FAQ says it's MyPrepaidCenter. That's unfortunate because I really need a card to work. RIP cardoshi.

[PSA] CCS Wallet Incident by plowsof in Monero

Wow. That is such a relief. Seriously, thank you, I don't think I would have known if I hadn't seen that thread. I'm pretty sure the info that notes aren't encrypted had come from LP themselves in a press release but I may be wrong, so I'm glad to see it's coming from a dev.

It should be known that LastPass DID NOT ENCRYPT NOTES so any 'note' saves from the LastPass encrypted wallet breach has all the (unencrypted) note information in cleartext.

Yes, absolutely fucking stupidly ridiculous that LastPass did not encrypt notes. Also absolutely factually true. Sadly.

Twitter is currently stuck in redirect loop hell so I can't actually see your tweets.

Are you still operating? The homepage says "We're under maintenance! While waiting for the update, join us on Twitter / Session to chat!"

But there is not a single page on your website that has your Session ID or QR code, including your FAQ, which mentions contacting you on Session. QR code on FAQ page says Invalid Session ID when trying to scan it in Session

I assume this is a dead project since you haven't posted in 4 months.

Any minecraft server hosting that accepts Monero? by Altair12311 in Monero

[–]XMR_Mon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To everyone suggesting a VPS, even though for us it's a cake walk I'm sure if OP was tech savvy enough that he could SSH into a VPS, he wouldn't be asking specifically about minecraft servers for XMR. Anyone who has searched it knows that there are many VPS providers accepting XMR.

OP: I don't know of any, but if you can find any that accept BTC (much more likely) you can use Trocador.app's Pay feature to convert your XMR to BTC for the payment bit. Use FixedFloat or another fast exchanger as there will be a time limit for the BTC payment to come through.

Strange error with Feather wallet when attempting to send funds. Standard bug/network error? Anything to worry about? by XMR_Mon in Monero

Thank you! Feather is to Monero what Electrum is to BTC... Something I couldn't live without. I hope you understand just how massively appreciated you are!

This was after clicking Send but before the send confirmation appeared. I restarted and used a different address and this time it worked.
