Malware False Positive Attack

[Dr. Boe Jangles Esq.]

This entire thread is retarded, the miner is fine, and you all need to calm the fuck down.

You wanna clarify this bit right here, please? 'Cause from where I'm sitting it seems like there's no incentive to let you run your miner if sometime in the next year or two you're gonna close up shop and disappear no matter what if you get a job offer.

"To let you run it".
Hey, that's neat, guy who joined a week ago and now dictates how the site is run.

I mean, I'd see your point of view if this place were just some moneypit trying to fly on ads in the age of adblock, but I got the impression your Monero experiment was performing well above the going rate you would get from ads alone.

Getting a job in web programming isn't as unlikely as you seem to think, unless I'm missing something and your adventures with that miserable crippled shithead actually left you with a record.

The site has struggled with money problems for some time because some British lunatic has personally targeted us for his crusade. Keeping it up is a simple matter of numbers, and expecting Null to do some kind of retail bullshit to enable it is absurd.

I just find it amusing the lengths people go to dickride a guy who's obviously an aspie himself. There's a certain special irony in a dude who needs his own safespace and defense force because he secretly is a lolcow.

Just like his Dramatica article claimed all along.

Is there something you'd like to share with us, guy who joined a week ago?
Because you've been shitting up the whole thread and I'm kinda curious who you are and what your beef is, personally. You seem weirdly invested in the the topic for a new user, and you reek of grudge.

They are a lot of what I need, but I predict they will be short lived. The next step will be browsers (Chrome / FireFox) disabling it entirely and then it will be dead.


I've been hosting this site for 5 years and my ambitions center around continuing it into other things. I anticipate no change. Your concerns are unfounded and bewildering.

So in the event that the Monero thing ends up being blocked, what's the next move? And if it isn't, is it currently working to maintain the sites expenses? I'm making some changes soon that will decrease my expenses, so I'd consider donating, but maybe if we had some kind of sticky on the front page about the cost of running per month, and how close we are to meeting it per month? I've seen some sites have a kind of tracker for this kind of thing, and it might help people remember to help out where they can.
May be stupid, just an idea.

Lol antivirus software, real men bareback the internet like it's a French whore

I took my firewall down for the next four minutes, get some.

I like how my comment gets removed for not contributing when the autistic slapfight doesn't lol

one time i talked about how dsp could get a crock pot, and went into detail on the price and food he could get, and i got removed and lectured to for being autistic
and a couple pages later people went right back to criticizing his eating habits with no repercussions
:feelsbadman:

we should start a revolution tbh


@Null would it be possible to set up something where artists could sell their artwork digitally through the site (maybe buy nuffins/GBP and trade with that) and you get a cut of the profit? maybe with the option to donate all the profit to you? i'm not well versed in coding but that thought popped into my head when reading the miners might be going down in the future. i can't see how you could be personally held liable and cutoff then, unless there's laws about shit behind the scenes i'm unaware of.

Not sure if this is related but I can't currently access the site on desktop. Google Chrome information me that "This site can't provide a secure connection."

 

[ICametoLurk]

Google Chrome

There's your problem.

 

[Miss Walsh]

I am too daring and brave to quit a site because it plays a bell noise at me. ///

 

[knux]

I think Sam even says he routinely checks court records around where he thinks I live so he can find name changes (lol)

Wow. His obsession with you knows no bounds.

 

[Fareal]

ffs, most unemployed people in the UK get a hobby like injecting heroin, having five kids, or going to jail for shoplifting.

This cunt can't even manage that for staying inside wanking, crying, and complaining to payment processors.

You'all telling me Windows Defender isn't enough? UGH!

Funnily enough, Windows Defender isn't half bad. I personally think that whatever Windows Defender couldn't stave off, you sort of deserve to get.

one time i talked about how dsp could get a crock pot, and went into detail on the price and food he could get

Off-topic, but I'm interested in this information. I need to start eating healthier and I found a fancy crockpot in my closet.

I think I'm gonna give Avira a try. If they're not jumping on the hysteria train over coin miners, they just became the default best. I never imagined that I'd be making this choice based on which service isn't being suckered into a political agenda.

Just a heads up if you do go for Avira: I use it, and while it's never given me any trouble, it spits out a popup from your toolbar once a day asking you to buy it. Some people find that annoying.

Add Adguard (Android ad blocking app) to the list of programs telling us that @Null is a bad boy. I emailed them as soon as I got the warning but before I saw this thread like yo wtf dude this site ain't malicious. Here I was thinking that the owner of Adguard must have been a lowcow who got posted on here and was butthurt over it lol

bitdefender doesn't seem to like the miner very much. I'ma just whitelist.

 

[AnOminous]

One way to argue this is not malware is to have a very prominent clickthrough popup (or other screen for people who disable popups) for non-registered users that they are simply not allowed to access the site at all without either running the miner or registering.

And on registration, very clear instructions how to turn it off. Or require lolcows to run it period and only give them a quota of posts to their own thread related to how many hashes they've generated. It would serve as a form of throttling that way, too. They'd literally have to pay to shit up their own thread.

If AV sites continued to call it malware at that point, that would be defamatory, as anyone running it would have had to consent, expressly, to running it.

 

[trueandhonestfan]

So is some pissed of lolcow or group of lolcows just flagging this on AV sites?

@Null Malwarebytes now considers this site a potential malware risk.

You can suck ALL of the dicks, Avast.

Avast was serving me five a day or more. I've already switched, incidentally. Avira is lovely, and I highly recommend all of their AV offerings to all interested Kiwis.

@Null Malwarebytes now considers this site a potential malware risk.

Blocked by premium but free Malwarebytes doesn't block it. Mine updated and gave me a 2 week premium trial period today but I reverted it to standard Malwarebytes and the site's fine.

I added the site to the exception list anyway. It has a few slight issues but it's usable.
