After waiting many long months I’ve finally received it. At the time of ordering 7GH/s was alot but in todays BTC minining arms race it’s nothing.
I cant afford these new miners so im happy with this.
Blue Fury USB Miner
As you can see they’re happily hashing away. They were really easy to set you with the provided drivers. Only issues was the size as i was to lazy to buy an usb hub, so ive got them running on the back of the computer.
so far it has been 48 hours and the hash rate is stable. Top quality product.
Inputs.io site owner give interview to ABC News Radio
The owner of inputs.io (Tradefortress) has given an interview to ABC NEWS radio in Australia. He states that he will not report it to the police even though 4100 BTC have gone missing. Meanwhile some user have confirmed on the bicointalk forum that they are getting their BTC returned.
Tradefortress is little over 18 year of age. Would anyone in real life have trusted a 19 year old with £2000 of their cash? Personally i can only see this type of crime increasing as Bitcoins become increasingly main stream.

Blue fury.
Yay my blue fury have arrived. Will review them later.
Inputs.io gets hacked.
Inputs.io has managed to lose 4100 BTC from a server side hack. Inputs.io was a leading Bitcoin web wallet trusted by many user. A few days prior to the announcement user were reporting small scale theft of btc from their web wallets which were tracked down to an API flaw.
Perhaps It’s time BTC web wallets started insuring for our loses at a cost us. if i had XXXX BTC i’d be happy to pay for some peace of mind or maybe even better use an offline wallet.
Two hacks totalling about 4100 BTC have left Inputs.io unable to pay all user balances. The attacker compromised the hosting account through compromising email accounts (some very old, and without phone numbers attached, so it was easy to reset). The attacker was able to bypass 2FA due to a flaw on the server host side.
Database access was also obtained, however passwords are securely stored and are hashed on the client. Bitcoin backend code were transferred to 10;[email protected]:[email protected] (most likely another compromised server).
What about my coins there? If you stored more than 1 BTC, send an email to [email protected] with a Bitcoin address (preferably, an offline, open source light/SPV wallet like Multibit orElectrum). Use the same email you’re using on Inputs. Please don’t store Bitcoins on an internet connected device, regardless of it is your own or a service’s.
I know this doesn’t mean much, but I’m sorry, and saying that I’m very sad that this happened is an understatement.
