hello :)
poo poo I meant "RealVNC" sorry guys. Thanks for the suggestions though, I need a solution and im sure one of these will be that.

edit: I had no idea there were so many things based on VNC, or that it was open source. Very cool

RealVNC is spying on people's use? Because I use their Viewer to connect to a free server. Not crypto related in any way but now I'm concerned about something I use on my machine to talk to my other machine.

It's based on registrations I think, not outright spying on what you're doing. Probably similar thing for TeamViewer bumping him to a non-private license (5+ installs? Get outta here or pay us)

I can guarantee you they've been hitting it. They might not have gotten in but if you turn on credential audit logging (Group policy editor, Computer Configuration/Policies/WindowsSettings/Security Settings/Advanced Audit Policy Configuration/Account Logon/Audit Credential Validation, enable logging failures) and watch the Security section of Event Viewer over the course of a day you'll see some crazy poo poo.

At least lock that poo poo down to your office's IP address.

He meant blacklist all IPs, then whitelist only the IPs you're going to connect from.

Better still would be to whitelist only your local IP range, then use an SSH tunnel.

So you'd SSH into a local machine on your local network from work, THEN open up an RDP session.

I guess I don't know what ssh is anymore because to me I imagine a terminal window and a command line prompt, which sort of defeats the purpose of a remote desktop.

You can use a terminal like that to establish a SSH connection and then utilize the pipe to open a normal RDP session through it.

SSH can also forward any port locally to any port remotely after you've set up the SSH tunnel.

Expanding on what the others said, SSH is a generic secure tunnel protocol. It just happens to be most famous for tunneling a terminal session.

You can also use it to transfer files (commonly known as SFTP), pass X11 signaling (remotely running a GUI application that displays as a window on your local machine), forwarding a port on your local machine to a port on the remote machine (or any network it can access), forwarding a port on the remote machine to a port on your local machine (or any network it can access), creating a local SOCKS proxy which passes traffic to the remote system and access the network at the remote end as if it was that machine, and even being a full-out VPN (currently only implemented in OpenSSH).

I use the SOCKS proxy feature all the time to access phones on remote customer networks. SSH to the firewall we control with the SOCKS tunnel enabled and switch on the proxy in Firefox, suddenly that browser can access the entire voice LAN at the remote location as if I were there. I can also transfer packet captures back from the firewall over the same session, encrypted and compressed.

Finally managed to get $25 out of nicehash, to coinbase, and into Gyft for an amazon card. Dancing around the geo locks was super annoying but now that it's all learned to accept my work American VPN, it should be pretty straightforward. The 1070 is back up to about $2.5/day which kind of sucks but not completely useless any more. I was considering selling it but it seems that the apocalyptic crash hasn't happened (yet) and I might be able to ride it out closer to the 11xx launch so I don't have to live with the 650Ti.

Our office network used to block external RDP connections so I configured it to use a different port, thinking that would be enough to fool it. But nope. Then I spent a lot of time setting up SSH tunneling, only for it, too, to be blocked, no matter what port :(

It's looking like Vitalik is going to get to try his well poisoning this year when Bitmain drops the F3.

quote:

Bitmain is about to release F3, the ethereum ASIC miner. It’s reported that every miner is mounted with 3 mainboards. On each mainboard there are 6 ASIC processors, each of which has 32 1GB DDR3 memory. Therefore, one unit of F3 miner contains 72 Gigabyte DRAM memory.

Looks like it's 650 MH/s at 750W, so roughly 3-4x the efficiency of a GPU. That actually means ASIC-resistance is working, otherwise it would be hundreds/thousands of times more efficient.

The only thing ASIC-resistance guarantees is that an ASIC needs to have a GPU-like memory subsystem that can feed it a tremendous amount of bandwidth, compared to the trivial bandwidth of first-gen coins (actually zero for Bitcoin). This means that the limit on efficiency is ultimately the memory subsystem - it does not guarantee that you can't make the actual act of computation more efficient. Remember, at the end of the day a GPU is a kind of ASIC too. It might be better to think of ASIC-resistance as resistance against only trivial ASICs of the kind that wrekt Bitcoin back in 2014.

Be interesting to see how Vitalik reacts to this info. PoS seems unlikely to ever work at this point... he's a year and a half behind schedule already and his timeframe slipped back to "3-5 years" in November.

It's also worth noting that Ethereum is one of the more memory-hard algorithms out there at the moment, IMO. I really question whether some of the coins based on Lyra2v2 and Equihash are really ASIC-resistant in the first place.

By the way, if Bitmain is doing ASICs, that's another strong signal (on top of Ampere/Turing coming) that you should sell your hardware while the getting is good. Each of those Bitmain ASICs will displace 20 580s or 25 570s, at 4x the efficiency. If they can ship them in any real volume (and there's no reason to doubt they can, Bitmain is an established player) then it's going to spike the difficulty real good.

Yeah there's other coins to mine but everybody else will be doing that too, and most of those other coins don't have a deep enough network to absorb the kind of capacity that is going to be available after Ethereum goes ASIC. ASICs tanked the GPU market for the first time 4 years ago, they could easily do it again.

I'm currently in this process. Put about 5k in total, and today recouped that officially with a huge profit of 5(five) dollars in my bank account.

The rest of the fun money I put into a couple of mining companies and the contracts expire over the next few months so theoretically I've got another 5k coming, it's all profit now.

Cloud mining is a huge scam btw, I'm closing all this stuff and I guess theoretically out of the poop

I'd continue in the game but I really don't want a tax headache over this.

With all the regulations coming, it's just not going to be worth it. It's sad because all in all it's been about a couple extra hundred per month which is not huge but it's nice.
