RarityCheck VIBGYOR gilded #12 swept yesterday.

[YodasRedRocket]

I want to know how the keys were generated and thus how they were compromised.

RC stated these coins keys were generated differently than the others - how so?

If you used an airgapped system, and did not save the keys, and you still have possession of that system, then how were they breached?

even without saving there are potential ways someone could have recovered them from the system but that would mean you lost control of it.


I am glad to see you making people whole but that does not make them whole - their coin will never be what it was worth.

All good points.  I would hope RC would let us send the coins to someone like you to be re-holo’d & re-key’d as buyer funded.

Wow.....was going to bid on a few items on Stacks....Not anymore....

speaking about Stacks - someone might want to tell them so they can pull those auctions.

I have dropped James and the info contact an email listing out the potentially affected on-going auctions, and linking to this thread.

I will update here if they reply.

✂️

I have heard back from James at S&B - All raritycheck items will be pulled from the upcoming/ongoing auction, they should be delisted from the site within the next 24 hours.

We have replied to everyone that was impacted.
Please PM us if your coin has been impacted.

@raghavsood, we saw you did some analysis. Could you please help us in figuring out exactly how many coins were impacted if you already have some data.

Please note that more than half of VIBGYOR coins were not loaded. (We will provide the exact number tomorrow).

Also, please note all impacted customers will be refunded and even provided loaded coins as replacement if you were impacted.

I will follow up with more details today on what's going on with the funds flows, but for immediate action, here's all coins from RC sets that were peeled in a batch (more than 3 coins in the same block) (using godmode):

raritycheck team: It is imperative that you share how the keys for the VIBGYOR series were generated in as much detail as possible - software used, people involved, computer used, printer used, and everything else that is available. This does appear to be a more widespread attack and funds for many others people outside of collectibles may be at risk.

[raghavsood]

Given that impacted coins total 15700000 sats (0.157BTC), which is not a small amount these days, I would encourage the raritycheck team to set up a compensation fund held by a reputable escrow (less any refunds already complete).

At this stage, we don't know why and how the keys are compromised, and having the compensation fund held by a non-rc team member will go a long way in rebuilding trust.

I would also not assume other series are safe until we have more details from the raritycheck team on the key generation process, and what changed when handling VIBGYOR keys.

If you hold any of these items, or are aware of someone who does and can reach out to them, I strongly suggest peeling and redeeming them before they get swept.

I have reached out to the S&B team regarding the 4 loaded items sold through their auctions to see if they can contact the winner.

We already saw another batch clearing the 0.001 BTC silver coins a few hours ago, so the threat is still ongoing.

[raghavsood]

It appears that VIBGYOR coins are still being offered for sale by the raritycheck team on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115653939905. This listing should be pulled by the team with haste, even if the coins being offered are unloaded.

[gpfrag]

We have replied to everyone that was impacted.
Please PM us if your coin has been impacted.

@raghavsood, we saw you did some analysis. Could you please help us in figuring out exactly how many coins were impacted if you already have some data.

Please note that more than half of VIBGYOR coins were not loaded. (We will provide the exact number tomorrow).

Also, please note all impacted customers will be refunded and even provided loaded coins as replacement if you were impacted.

This is huge if they follow through. A replacement would be a nice way to make everyone whole. So I'm glad to see you're stepping up. I think the people forced to peel should get the replacement as well. If it was a key generation issue.

 Glad that the community is rallying to solve.  That’s pretty cool in itself and look forward to speedy resolution.

Let’s not bury the guy.  He’s not Walmart and probably eking out very little. I think it’s commendable that he’s stepping up to the plate as is.  The coin itself is one Oz silver , international shipping , etc.  it would quickly add up.  Hoping he can work with a trusted member in the US like MJ or Mopar to handle the processing here.  It would definitely save on costs to make whole.  That said, I understand your point too.  Glad that the community is rallying to solve.  That’s pretty cool in itself.

Lol he's the one that brought it up and I was just saying that's pretty cool. A creator should stand behind the keys they created and if the  keys created by them are swept due to faulty key generation, then they should be on the hook like Walmart if they ever want to have a reputation or ever be trusted again. It definitely wasn't a dig, I was commending that he is in here trying to make it right. But at the same time. I'm salty because my funds were swept and coins premium is gone. So I would like a replacement if possible down the road. But let's start with a refund. Lol

[raritycheck]

Hello all

Good morning.
Our inbox has lots of messages. We will reply all one by one.

We have already refunded many of guys directly.
Please note that all impacted coins will be made whole.
Either we will offer a loaded coin (with newly created keys)or we will reload your coins (depending on volume we will order holos). In some cases we are sending you BTC
We will preserve the history on our site so impacted coins always show up.

if it is not a hardware leak - then it someone on your team, or no?

how many are on your team?
how many have access to key generation?

and how do you have private keys stored after the coins were made?? No keys should ever be saved.

[raritycheck]

WE ARE STILL ROOT CAUSING THE ISSue. So far we are certain thi isn’t hardware leak.

We have NO keys backup.
If we had we could save the remaining coins by sweeping their BTC.
But unfortunately we have no backups.

So far we have identified the isssue is neither a hardware issue nor a team member isssue.
Looks like the issue is with the way private keys were generated.

We will do this

1. Create a separate thread for refund
2. Use this thread for root causing

Meanwhile we will order holos for VIBGYOR coins.
Holos will be slightly different so it’s easy to tell these are new.
Each buyer will be given the option to re-holo (and reload) or we ll send BTC.

We continue to refund Btc for impacted people.

Team RC

I would hope that the eBay sale page is also being pulled: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115653939905

raritycheck team: It is imperative that you share how the keys for the VIBGYOR series were generated in as much detail as possible - software used, people involved, computer used, printer used, and everything else that is available. This does appear to be a more widespread attack and funds for many others people outside of collectibles may be at risk.

I strongly encourage the team to share details with folks who have the background and skills to help get to the bottom of this.

The refunds and efforts to make people whole are commendable and important, but based on the on-chain activity there are more wallets at risk than just collectibles.

I'm volunteering my time and effort in helping to track this down, but it is extremely important that the RC team provides the information and background for the key generation process, and how it differs from that of their other series.

I have separately dropped them a PM to ask for the same information, in the event that (for whatever reason) they are unwilling to share it publicly at this stage.

you use an airgapped system correct? if you are using a system that is online, then all your coins are at risk and you need to cease selling any coins and recall all of them - I hope it is not this serious and I am not sure if it was, that you would say so.

Considering your statements on how your keys are generated when previously asked:

Following all the suggestions, we are buying a one time only Printer for printing keys (wired) and one time use-only computer for creating keys.

Thanks
Team RC

so if it is a one use system, was it online? did you lose control of it?

Hi raghav

We will not pull the eBay listing.
If someone orders we will send them coins with new holos and new keys.

We understand that not just other coins but our wallets are impacted but even we are trying to root cause it.
We are not 100% sure how this has happened.
But we think the key gen software we used is compromised.
Rest ensured as soon as we know we will provide details.

We still posses all the hardware used.
We will share exact details of what we think has happened.
None of the used hardware has ever been connected to the internet.
And the computers  used are also wiped out.

As this is a widespread issue(beyond our collectibles) this means this is an issue with the private key generator we used for VIBGYOR.

We will share the details at 9 pm UK time today.

Is there a reason you are unable to share the details of the keygen software used immediately?

why did you come up with the idea of using a different key generator for the VIBGYOR series and why not always the same as for the previous editions?
unfortunately, that doesn't make sense to me

i am very curious about the further details...

i can say from personal experience how stressful the whole thing is for raritycheck now and i hope that he can refund all victims and present/clear up everything completely

It was pure luck. We wanted to try creating vanity addresses (1O) for VIBGYOR coins so we looked at multiple options.
In the end we didn’t end up creating vanity addresses
But still went with the software we trying to generate vanity addresses

We are currently trying to help every impacted customer.
Please note that we aim to reach out to every single one by Sunday evening.

Hi Cygan

Thank you for the kind words. Indeed very stressful. As we are also working with version 2 of the hole coin series.
Please share your experience. Or pm if possible.

i better make it public, so that the whole procedure here remains transparent, because i think that among all the collectibles makers there should also be a certain cohesion and you should also support each other (up to a certain point, because in some cases the whole thing can turn out to be a scam in the end).

so at the beginning of last year i started to refind all of coldkey's victims, i created this extra thread to make the whole thing visible to everyone and also to present it according to a certain procedure. this way i was also able to identify/fix certain ambiguities but also scammers (who then wrote to me via pm) more quickly

Any info on if the hole coins were generated using the same method? Looks like only 5 or 6 of em were funded to begin with and it seems one person has already swept their funds.

Mainly curious because I just landed in Switzerland for work and am wondering if I should be calling the wife or one of my buddies and trying to walk them through the process of redeeming a coin or not 😂
