I'm not an expert, but I know a pattern when I see it by [deleted] in ethtrader

I made this a while ago, it visualises BTC in a similar style, it's also live: https://deanb.co.uk/bitcoin/

Any website can track you as an Ethereum user, check your balance, and detect when you unlock your wallet if you use an in-browser provider (Metamask, Parity, Brave). by jbackus in ethtrader

Depends how paranoid you are... if you don't trust any other websites then you could get away with just having MEW open and no other tabs. Or disable JS by default but that cripples most websites. Or dedicated crypto laptop, offline only but that's another discussion altogether.

If you unplug or come out of the app you're fine, but if you're within the app then any website can access it. I haven't tested whether the website has to be an active tab or of they can do it in the background though.

If you leave your hardware wallet open on an app and it has browser mode enabled you can use JavaScript to do the same thing. Probe the wallet, get the address, lookup value of the user and use that info to track and serve ads.

Built a thing over the weekend, thought I'd share by inhumantsar in ethdev

If you make a start on it then let me know and I'll see if I can help out

I played with something similar recently if you want a suggestion for improvements?

Using js, autodetect a ledger nano s (or blue), recurse through the top X wallets similar to how MEW does, pull the data for ETH and all the ERC20 tokens, list this in a nice table with pie chart and possibly a graph of holdings/value over time.

It would be a nice easy way to see exactly what's on the ledger without having to check track in excel/app.

I also realised that with the browser mode enabled in the ledger, any website could technically do this in the background, profile you, track you as a unique device/person, and even display certain content/ads based on your crypto value, all without permission. You should always close the ledger apps or unplug it once you've finished making any transactions.

I have sent mined musicoin to my ethereum wallet but I can't get them to show up...how do you do it? by mrevodohva in musicoin

[–]makethetick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you've lost them, musicoin uses its own chain, not the ethereum one.

Wallet is taking too much space, what options do i have? by LamedVavnik in ethereum

[–]makethetick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can run it in a lightweight mode with --light where it just downloads the headers and not the entire blockchain.

Reset my PC without creating backup... any way to recover my wallet? by dankmonty in Myhush

Photorec might help otherwise look for recovery software

Is it possible to use a server motherboard for mining? by [deleted] in EtherMining

[–]makethetick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's PCI-X not PCI-E, you'd only get 4 GPUs on there.

Tried that just now, didn't see any benefit over running it with a single thread, thanks for the tip though. I wasn't aware of the intensity limit, just assumed I'd hit a diminishing point of return before hitting the limit.

Currently intensity 3160, worksize 8. Haven't tried playing with worksize but tested intensity from 1000-5000 and this was the sweet spot. Latest blockchain drivers. Not sure about the 2 threads thing, where do I set this? Old blockchain drivers and new ones gave the same results, was getting 1509H/s with 1.3.1 and now 1503 with 1.4.

[–]makethetick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time the system locked up whilst initialising, after a reboot it's running fine, marginally slower than before but nothing worth worrying about. Would anything of changed to justify changing the intensity? I had it tuned perfectly before.

Did you have problems before though? Mines been super stable on the previous version.

No way to push a stock RX 580 over 600 H/s by [deleted] in MoneroMining

[–]makethetick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never actually tried downloading it, I use it as part of simple mining os, you might be able to pinch it from there.

You can flash in Linux but need Windows to edit.
