Just a reminder to never click on a link from an email you get! equifax still don’t get it

Look like equifax just sent out another email, apology letter, and a link to the credit alert monitoring. This is still a bad idea, they should have mention to carefully check the url website or better yet, just type in the website such as equifax.com trustedid.com and so on, instead of asking users reading the email to click on the link.

The problem is, with the email link, a hacker can send similar email and ask the user to click on it, and it will direct them to a hacker website which has exact copy of equifax trustedid site and now the users got their account compromised hacked.

Bitcoin Cash is Now Available in your Blockchain Wallet!

Finally if you have blockchain wallet now bitcoin cash is available for you to withdraw or keep deposit.
Blockchain.info is pretty safe if you use the 2FA. However I still recommend using a hardware wallet such as the popular Ledger Nano S which you can get some good deal on ebay used for $50-$65, new $68-$70 don’t pay more than that.

Bitcoin Cash is Now Available!
Since the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) hard fork activated on August 1st, we’ve continued to monitor this emerging digital asset and decided to roll out limited support for you!

We’re excited to share that as of last week, any user who had a bitcoin balance in their Blockchain wallet when the fork activated will be able to access the same BTC amount in BCH. Keep in mind, bitcoin and BCH are two separate currencies with two different values. What you do with your BCH will not affect your bitcoin balance and vice versa – unless of course you’re exchanging one for the other. ​

You can store, exchange, and send Bitcoin Cash by clicking on General in the Settings menu of your web wallet, shown above. As always, if you choose to continue storing your BCH, you’ll maintain full, exclusive access to these funds via your recovery phrase. ​
GET STARTED
Or Learn More About Bitcoin Cash
Please note: if you did not have any bitcoin/BCH in your wallet at the time of fork then this option will not be available. ​

Development Update
As we have described in our previous newsletters, TokenNet network will be on servers around the globe and so far we have been using Seoul, Sydney, California and Frankfurt as our instance location. It seems Frankfurt is slightly lagging compared to the others so we have replaced Frankfurt with Tokyo. This was to improve the performance of the network and for those of you in Europe, you need not worry, the network will be just as good for you as well(웃음)

Tests and observation regarding redistribution of transaction fees are ongoing but we do not yet have any solid results to share. In the mean time, as we have mentioned before, we are still deciding what the transaction fee should be. It is described in the white paper the transaction fee to be 0.01 BOS, but there are concerns that it is too high. However, if set too low, some may be unhappy by the tiny amount they will receive as it will be the only source of reward during TokenNet. It is hard to find an equilibrium between the two so the appropriate number is being debated. We will be releasing a “TokenNet Release Note” so you will be informed on the result of the debate, as well as being provided with the complete picture of TokenNet before the launch.

Test Web-wallet and Security.
We are currently still in the testing phase of our Web-wallet and the Test Web-wallet has been moved from Stellar to our own network. Minor modifications are constantly in progress so you may experience some inconsistency with the Web-wallet. Regarding security, we are still waiting on the final report. We are told by one of the security firms that they should be able to provide us their final report by early next week. It seems code analysis is almost done.

Have You Met… Scott Matheina?

Some of you are probably already familiar with Scott as he is handling a huge chunk of questions in our community. Given the passion and dedication he has shown throughout, we thought it would be a good idea to formally hire Scott to handle Communications. So, this week we’d like to introduce you to our newest addition to the team, Scott Matheina. Scott will help grow the global community and will be based in Dallas, Texas but for the first month or two will be spending time with us in Seoul.

Background

Scott brings to BlockchainOS over 10 years of Operations Management experience, and a deep curiosity for new technologies. Scott’s interest in computers started in 2010, when he first decided to learn basic HTML and PHP. He began hosting his own blogs using self-hosted wordpress. Over the years, he started finding open source projects to download, and install on his own VPS servers to see how they worked, and learn more about programming and Linux server administration. Through his work with Linux servers, he became a big fan of Linux/GNU, and started researching how to contribute to the Linux kernel. He was successful in submitting several basic kernel patches, and enjoyed being a part of a large open source project. While in graduate school, Scott continued to research open source projects, and became interested in Blockchain technology. In May 2017, Scott graduated with a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Dallas. He discovered BOScoin 30 days prior to the May fundraiser, and immediately became a daily contributor to the slack community.

RIF (Random Interesting Fact)

Scott and his wife Ann own land in the Philippines, and plan on building a vacation house in Silay City, Negros Occidental with plans to eventually retire to the Philippines.

Boscoin TokenNet Launch Announcement

look like it’s moving along smoothly?

TokenNet Launch Announcement

TokenNet to launch on 31st of October

Over Chuseok, many tests have been conducted and although efforts to improve performance of the network has been satisfactory, our devs are insisting that we need a little more time. The plan was to launch at the end of September and we apologize for the delay, but now we have a new launch date – 31st of October. The delay is caused mainly by two things – redistribution of transaction fees and security. Below is a more detailed explanation as to why more time is needed and some of our concerns and progresses.

Redistribution of Transaction Fees
Our distributed network depends on nodes to validate transactions and each transaction requires a transaction fee. The fee is collected to a fee pool which is redistributed every week. As described in our white paper, validating nodes will receive 70% of the collected transaction fees and 30% will be sent to the Commons Budget, but since there is no Commons Budget at this stage, and since validation will be done by the development team, all of the transaction fees will be distributed to the holders of BOScoin according to their stake above the minimum balance. The reason why we need some more time is because we want to make certain that such redistribution is done without any glitches. Tests confirm that the redistribution logic is sound but there was an opinion within the team that it would be prudent to run one final additional test in real life conditions except for it being on a closed network now that everything is in place. Fees will be redistributed on a weekly basis, so running a test means observing the network for a week and see if BOScoins are finding their respective destinations properly. Such tests have already been commenced and we are planning more than a single test so it will take some time.

Security
As posted in our previous newsletters, we have asked a couple of security firms to look into our network and Web-wallet for any holes and gaps that need to be filled. Unfortunately we have not received the final report from any firm as of today. Security is the one area where no compromise can be made and we would like to be absolutely certain our network is impregnable. Should any security concern arise, we will need some time to fix it, hence the delay.
A group of white hackers within one of the security firms tried to hack our Web-wallet and they have submitted a preliminary report but no issue regarding both the Web-wallet and the network was raised so far. We are still waiting for the final report.

We believe there won’t be any problems but thought it would be best that we go ahead with this final process just to be sure. We have three weeks until the 31st and that should be enough time to handle any issues if something goes as unexpected (God forbid!). Development aside, we are also drafting and preparing a contingency plan for the worst case scenario in case the network misbehaves, or even fails. The stability of the network is our main priority and we are doing everything within our capabilities to improve it. Once again, we apologize for the delay but we have concluded this is in the best interest for everyone so please do bear with us until the end of this month.

3 billions yahoo email account hacked? all of it?

Let get something straight here:

  1. Account hacked are just email, meaning your email in/out box. Not your credit card, not your other personal area outside of email in/outbox. However if the hacker have your yahoo account, he/she might access those other areas but chances are not because those other areas such as personal information would require security key or additional question and answers like your secret question and answer. So bottom line, most likely your account hacked just your email, otherwise you would have known other area of your email got hacked.
  2. If you have 2FA, also known as second level of security authorization then chances are your email was not hacked, other than the hacker have your first level account password, but the hacker will not be able to login. However if you have accounts with other non yahoo services that uses same account password then the hacker can use it to tried and access your account. However again, if you have 2FA activated on other non yahoo service then you are also safe. I would say 99.99% safe everywhere if you have 2FA turned on.
  3. Bottom line. Turn on your 2FA everywhere, if 2FA is not available on services that you’re using then use another brand or services that offer 2FA.

Hello,

As of September 30, 2017, Voice Services on your Fire phone will no longer be available. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

The removal of Voice Services will affect using your voice for commands such as “call,” “text,” and “email” and will also remove the dictation feature from your phone’s keyboard.

If you press and hold the Home key to initiate the dictation feature after September 30, 2017, you will receive an error message similar to “Sorry, something went wrong.” This is because this service is no longer supported.

We look forward to seeing you again soon.
