wtf is mining
it'll take up your whole gpu vram
what the fuck is that
Minecraft
Mining for bitcoin
bitcoin mining
Virtual mining
mining for bitcoin
I never understood how bitcoin mining worked
hows that even fcking work
that's how people get it
Nice bait ryubi lul
you don't mine bitcoin with GPUs
HOW
like what is your PC actually doing to get money
DOES THAT EVEN WORK
It wasn't tho
mining for bitcoins in minecraft
¯_(ツ)_/¯
????
yeah my friend does it
what program
and I'd be worried about what is actually going on
yeah no im not doing that
your PC is just processing transactions on the blockchain
nvm
Ima just do nude sfm videos
and get money off that
smfh
i aint doing that shit
👀 nudes
I RATHER GO TO THE PORN INDUSTRY WITH DIS SHIT ON UNITY AN ETC
For bitcoins I believe you are looking for the next largest prime number when mining.
THEN WASTE TIME ON THIS HERE BITCOIN
You gotta install a mod for the minecrafts then go underground with a diamond pickaxe 
Like what possible exploit could put pc and your own network at risk
LOL DESPAIRDONUT
that's not how it works
why not do porn while mining bit coin 👀
????
guess who has a 1070
shit, if you have an AMD based GPU it's -really- worth it to mine ETH
Bitcoin mods in minecraft worth more
yall wild wtf
amd in 2018
I mean technically you are mining bitcoin
But not the bitcoin that actually is worth something
Boomer 8CB4 keeps going around and teleporting people
anyone else having the vrchat SDK hang forever when trying to upload an avatar atm?
He's on steam
what if you drop your bit coin on the street?
but how fast is it wearing the computer out
@languid olive servers are laggging
woahhh lag
@languid olive on future proofing?
Go ping a admin or record and send a moderation report
He just crashed the entire server
Use Nvidia to mine bitcoin to buy AMD hardware to be free of Meltdown
Is bitcoin called bitcoin because they are just a bit of a coin
the Duo Pro in my Vive rig mines at a 50 hasrate while still running cool
Jeez go talk bitcoin somewhere else
Oh
riiight
Bitcoins going to decrease
@brave furnace JUst report these poeple Immediately
because the chat in here stays so on topic
hopefully it does
THE ASIANS FIGURED A WAY
You can't even mine bitcoins with gpus and be profitable anymore. You need huge ASIC farms now
TO HACK BITCOIN
you aren’t wrong moike
SO YEAH GG
i want to make a gaming pc
@steady nymph yeah it was hanging on future proofing, turned that off in the SDK and it is still hanging. guess it is just the servers
@languid olive oh icic
my laptop is great though
I am rich in dogecoin
i did a test for vr and it didn't drop frames for vr
the prideful ignorance in here is thick enough to cut with a knife and spread on toast
@celest heart how is a single GPU going to compete with an ASIC cluster?????
lol
That destroys economy tho
^
And boom all of a sudden ur poor ;_;
Yeah. Great
Had a nice huge RP going on in a high school, and EVERYONE just crashed
This is their field in hacking
....
130?
Ar eu...
....
..bro i make
5 months... 1700...
The thing is that crypto currency is not tracked down making it so good
Tracked down as in
stop flexin my dude
Monitored by the gov
i make 340 dollars a month GOING TO COMMUNITY CCOLLEGE
BRUH
LMFAO
Nah ur cryptocurrency isnt even worth it
😂
my 970 makes me $0 a month
feelsbad
I can even make more money making models/commissions for people
I don't wanna put PC at risk just before semester starts
Only thing is with the current price of a 1070 it'll be a while before any new miners see a ROI
In the long run tho bitcoin will be big ;d
like 500 if i wasted my life doing it a month
and going to school for a job
smfh
sdk still crashes unity upon uploading wdf
@tranquil warren iT IS BIG THO
Severs
Servers**
the ETH I mine these days I turn into other crypto to invest in other projects like VRChat
so upload servers have been down for over 24 hrs now?
so I'm not mining to make money, but to support the development of other social VR projects
Well it’s not exactly down
@celest heart You can't play games though while mining
But did you update your sdk
@vocal shardpotato yeah the servers are scuffed for uploads for me as well
Man these buggers
I heard some people talk about it before, stating that the big boom in BC was due to the influx of corperate interest in it. But that made me wonder what will happen when that interest peaks or dies down. If the value of the currency is relative to the interest in it (and not any material value) then what happens when that interest goes away?
Severs are just slow
I'd be keen to sell at any sign of a drop but IDK finances
Why does it keep disconnecting me and logging in again
I mean people sell bitcoin for the very fact that they think the price won’t be higher than this and they don’t want to take their chances ;3;
@burnt plover It's just a simple hotkey suspend or process trigger suspend to toggle the mining on/off
@soft skiff Yeah its dope
Even then
If anything try launching into a separate world other than the hub
I don't need money in my life
@tranquil warren Welcome to the world of penny stocks.
I'm dying at some point anyways
I hate economics
Can you upload tutorial? @vocal shard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7HvX0gV_oo&t=11s
Sips tea
guys, is avatar upload broken?
;-;
now i gotta wait to be able to stab people and flip people off ;-;
If I cn do what I love to do for fun
damn potato
Im fine with it
@dusky vault I don't think interest in it will ever fully go away. I really think blockchain technology is going to play a big role in the future.
Idc about money tbh
U want a cookie?
@wise latch yee
Yo, anyone friends with Dr.Puppers?
AS long as im surviving and working
Taiyaki?
Im happy
I'm all for this being more and more prominent
got to leave him a message since i dont have his discord
I do know a puppets
My life is not at all interesting anyways
Any idea for how long?
Puppers
If it gets people away from the old world and the old establishment and the bankers then that's not bad
Does he have a dark souls skin on?
yea, can you tell him my vrchat booted me to the HUB
and im getting off for the night, well of vrchat at least
@wise latch no idea for ho ling they are down no
Ok, that's weird
Uhhh leme try to tell whitwolf
A friend was watching an old youtube video about VRChat from 2014, and I walked into frame.
I don’t have direct connection to puppers;v;
@arctic drum Sup Alpha
Wait alpha
hey tidus
;D
think imma forget my friends?
How weird
cause that aint happening
❤
I'm good. Haven't been on VRChat much lately since I can only play like 1 day a week now
mm
True. I look forward to when I can play VRChat all week
a moment of silence for dear hyper
Hahaha
I'm glad I don't have to take finals anymore
I wish I can be that optimistic
you can hyper
I can be optimistic for you but it'll cost you a headpat and a nose boop.
give head pats to hyper
Find me and I’ll repay ^v^
who?
🤔
giving everyone headpats when Lakhyu is right here
@languid adder Depending on your timezone, you're correct!
;oo
🍰
tfw never had a steak or a taco before
Didn't know VRChat was that old
Wish I played it 2 years ago
VRchat has been around since the very early Oculus DK1 days
I thought it was only like 2 years old
same
someone buy me a vr headset
^
No
I've wondered why I didn't hear about VRChat sooner, I was looking for VR games a year or so ago but the best social experience I saw was Rec Room.
🤔
Happy birthday ^___^
repay them with a kick breaks desk and/or leg
Exactly
Someone buy me a Xbox one Kinect pc adapter
no kicks in general
I'd knock myself off balance and flip myself upside down probably.
I'm lucky enough to have my entire living room as my playspace 😉
being unable to work yet is annoying
How far do the trackers sense you?
llakhyu
@fiery rune trust me, having to work is annoying too
Hi
I got full coverage everywhere, expect for two spots which I never go to anyways
i need money but i cant earn any
not earning the right to be called daddy
I use Vive, yes
YOUVE PULLED THE PLUG ON ME BEING MERCIFUL
i've not used this icon since impersonating him
Huh whats going on?
Oh totally
Lots of room for activities
^
There we are.
I like activities
Lord, this icon fits perfectly.
I turned off my chaperone completely and I have a mat in the middle, so as long I stand on it I don't have to worry about punching anything
Meanwhile my room is 75% bed. Life of a Uboat
I should go gather my other icons in the meantime. I shall be off for now.
Can't wait for cordless VR 😻
I have a big bed so I'd just have to stick it somewhere else
Probably sleep on the floor again.
that wireless adapter..
Where it's second most quiet.
And afk\
As long it works, it can look as dumb as it wants
I sleep anywhere. I just don't prefer sleeping outside but if it's for VR I'm sure it would be worth.
I get weird looks as it is, I can't imagine what would happen if someone walked in with me looking lke shrek
or something
I wish that could be said about me woop
... Oh god, there's a Tide Pod World.
my world went public 😄 its got team rocket avatars n yugioh avatars lol
guess you could say that world existing is just swell
Anyone here with VR use sketchfab?
I want to know how to stop this damn website from opening my VR drivers while im visiting the site, I dont want to view everything in VR.
I just uploaded an avatar, if you're having trouble uploading after installing the new SDK
make sure you log out of the SDK and log back in, before uploading
this should fix uploading issues and the red avatar issue
Ooh, someone ported the cyberpunk tf2 map.
so weird, watching this youtube video of VRChat from 2014 I realized my recall of the experience isn't of sitting at my computer wearing a DK2, but I recall it like I was in a physical space like any other IRL memory.
How fucking weird is that.
time to log into some VRChat 😄 cya
Til vrchat existed in 2014
Is anyone having issues with private servers randomly kicking people out?
@vocal shard There are times when I used to log in and there would literally be nobody at all on.
Good moring
I'm a little slow on the punch but wow VR Chat was around that long?
Only learnt about it like mid last year
can someone here contact the minecraft discord
Question which one.
@dusky vault It was around before that... I remember when it first went live. A lot of us were using Riftmax Theater and ConVRge at the time.
im hearing things lol
what do you hear
a door bell but no ones there
your haunted
Run
no scream
ha
How do people think of music vehicles in vrchat?
good idear
To your closet
turn all the lights off
i just hide there and sleep
but then he kill u in ur sleep
Somebody put this in tutorials for me @vocal shard @mild acorn @rose timber @covert chasm
how can he kill me unless he can take over my body and and stab my body
what would be worse dying in ur sleep or dying awake
I feel as if you would still feel in your sleep, just more of a sharp sensation but you wouldn't realise it
if you weren't to wake up by this, then it would be a pretty weird dream
good to hear @lean mortar n
ya there u go u would not feel it that much
just trying to make things as not complicated as possible and also to make up for my old one that is really bad
true
like i have a mmd skin i want to import so im looking for an wasy guide
well im trying to rig model but its too hard and i cant do it now cos in a bit i need to go so i can not do it now
That's pretty cool that it's been around for so long
Hope it hangs around for a while longer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7HvX0gV_oo&t=18s if you are doing an mmd model rigging @timid light
na its not mmd its just from scrach rigging
ya
maybe not hard but it gets very irritating
is it true that the exploiters can now hardware ban in vrc?
ah ha! i have learned how to use my fingers in vr.
jesus
indeed it is im trying my best yester day it was very hard tryed it twice then gave up could not get the modle to move the send try
that is scary
it is mostly targetting streamers and well known players
Is people here find with music blasting from my models?
*fine
not like super loud
i guess you can decide
and make sure the radius is 5
or lower
In unity?
i mean
like really small
not 5
think like 0. something
cuz not the whole world needs to hear your music
Is the radius thing in unity?
yes
huh
i could never change the audio source radius for my revolver
it just stuck serversided
Went onto a map now where I lost control over my character
What should the volume be?
ok so, i downloaded the "updated" SDK
Completely lost control over it
its the same version i had saved
i dont realy know about sound on vrchat for chars cos i dont realy use it
Yepp
My character was running around. I tried to go the opposite way but it did nothing.
yea no, thats bad
I just Alt F4'd out
thats very bad
anyone else have that issue?
Ive been teleported by a hacker once before.
jeezus
THey teleport everyone to the same place then target people that way
thats so bad
Yeah been in 2 worlds now, both had guys teleporting everyone
very bad
i'm pretty sure you're getting teleported to the malicious world and thus, allows you to be controlled
gotchu
what game logs
You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat named vrchat;outputlog.txt
^this man knows
!online
There are 8937 users in VRChat currently
oh yea thats quite a bit
ugh damn it
i'm still stuck uploading
i even got the SDK updated
far as i know
Someone is raiding the Penthouse at night servers, they keep warping us into a portal
I got crashed twice.. 😩
@lapis lintel the new sdk just makes unity crash for me, idk if anyone can upload yet :/
@faint horizon best just stay in private and friend world only alot hacker in public
area
OH SHIT I FOUND OUT WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE USING
and i got the mans discord
who wants it
like
the shit is named VRCheat
i just found it
How would I send a log?
no way to stop it till vrchat update there security on vrchat
Unity is easily abused, that's the problem.
I'm not sure how they can or will deal with it.
ugh what a pain
!outputlog
You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat named vrchat;outputlog.txt
just send @safe yacht vrchat email with that or moderation report
public worlds are pure hell, don't visit them - only hang in friends only instances
the trolls, memes and hackers have completely overtaken most of vrchat
Next time, I will check that.
Only know one other person who's got the game so rip me. Meeting randoms seemed like fun
not even invite-only?
well go to world not on public vrchat list
Not to my knowledge.
just got kicked out of a room and told i'd be reported for joining a room from a portal at hub

just go friend world it not even publish
i had that happen earlier today
You'll get memers in any community to be fair, can just mute them if they're annoying, right?
Got teleported several times at the Great Pug and crashed.
Penthouse too
wish was only 40 people @pseudo bobcat
also, where would I ask about issues with my camera in game model
i'm not touching vrchat with a ten foot pole until the devs fix the hacking problem

so see you in a few weeks i guess
eh I don't like gatekeeping as someone who doesn't own VR my self but would setting the game back to VR only cut out the hackers? I mean it cuts out a lot of the community too I suppose
@shell osprey dont post that video
I know it isn't allowed.
it would help a lot @dusky vault but it'd also reduce the community from 20k to 1k
@shell osprey then remove before they remove you
I just wanted to show this so... idk what we could do about that.
Maybe let people set worlds to VR only.
There should be another way
ye, a lot of streamers I see use the desktop mode and of the people on my steam friends list, only one has VR
THen again, hackers will break that.
this is disgusting
It'd be another check tho. I don't think it's the right way that said. Am hopeful the devs will find the way to get it done.
It is. :/
@shell osprey cant do nothing till developer do somthing it truth at the matter but dont spread it around
Maybe until the hackers are sorted
is the uploading still broken?
its probably why i cant upload anything
Remove the banning system
Lots of hackers on right now
Uploads work
In just 5 minutes I've been teleported twice and lost control of my character once.
Because some people are petty, weaklings who's only relevance is ever being a nuisance to other people.
pretty much
people actually take time making their avatars so people can just steal them and run away.
yeet
there some people pay money for there avatar as well
imported a new avatar
I paid to get mine working. Very nice guy.
if you need go to public area go to default avatar
okay i think im almost finished with the rigging just need to dup and filp the names then hook them up but ill do that after when i get home well i see u guys later going to college
no point for hacker other unity chan
Well I dont want my name stolen either.
is there any substance to the hardware ban rumor
man how tiny someone can be, right now im looking at such a tiny and a cute diver
What's that?
An fyi to everyone who's playing VRC: the people stealing avatars have admin rights now and have the ability to hardware ban (this would require changing actual PC parts to play VRC). I highly suggest to stay off VRC, or stick to friends-only/private worlds.
hardware ban should go for this type hack
is something i read.
but i don't know if there's any truth to it
Tiny as fuck.
thank god he is not an anime girl
hardware ban made will make the user not be able use there computer in vrchat
I thought they were invisible at first, could see their names but couldn't see their ant model because it was so tiny
they would have buy new computer part
It's odd
I havent met a single one until now.
It seems to be only at certain hours
Meaning that they're mostly located in the same time-zone
so which time zone has prime time right now?
Noticed the total pop for the top worlds are kinda low is that normal at this hour
All the kids are asleep
Oh yeah ur right
All Ive come across at hte moment are kids...
American kids it seems.
4 hours ago, all the Australians were on.
when everyone is hanging out in the basement of the pub but a hacker respawns us all 
Then in another 4 hours, you'll start having the Russians
Yeah, happend to me twice in 5 minutes now.
I've opted to not log on for the time being.
I'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish either... It's just inconvenient.
typical script kiddies 
Yeah daddy beats them with the belt then they go on VRChat to cheat.
what was he doing
yep, say no more
Yo how do we find his name
sometimes names wont show up
Seems they're on in force or just moving servers fast.
I cant find my output log.
!logs
You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat named vrchat;outputlog.txt
Yeah except my folders aren't named anything close to that.
yea best get output log when get teleport
or see name change
it show there info there
you need to get to appdata
Yes and it's not installed on C and I'm Swedish :p
holy crap people need to test the music volume a little better in their worlds
Hey guys would you like to help me with something? I'm currently doing some social research relating to multiplayer games, VRChat being quite an important part of it. I made a short survey that should only take about 3-4min to complete. If you decide to fill it out it would really help me out a lot!
Link: https://goo.gl/forms/G9VdmzKs4glJgiV53
(Asked the team before posting this)
You spelled research wrong.
in window 10 search bar type in AppData folder
found it
Ah yeah you're right, sorry not a native speaker
They want my entire log?
"[Log:1/17/2018 8:24:33 AM] Avatar player object name=VRCPlayer[Remote] Nathaly1591 770" Well then.
Nathaly, ey blyat.
send the output log txt file to #moderation-reports
tell them you send data you spot hacker
one developer can read the output log
so, I found a way to break vrchat, and not in a good way
not telling the public
dont explan any hacks against rules
:)
How do I send it to them...? I'm a complete idiot with Discord.
^ and I'm not about to arm you
rip my internet
@safe yacht i PM
also, yeah i haven't seen any hackers in-game yet
So... is every line I see that has "Avatar player object name=VRCPlayer" is a Hacker?
output log keep all info from the world to the avatar
If so then I enountered a lot of them in just one night and would explain why I couldn't shoot people in that gold mine game
even info on teleport
I keep getting teleported
gee whiz I love it when people come in and force people to respawn
and I can't do a thing about it
hardware banned need to happen
yeah... I am 100% not touching VRChat tonight...
What if I hacked the hacker so he couldn't hack me 🤔
Would, technically, hacking mean I could resist the hackers teleports? 😛
@safe yacht well I for one would congratulate you
I haven’t encountered something like that tonight. Where are they usually at?
Populated maps.
Populated rooms
Pug
Pug Pub at the moment.
And now I just got kicked out to another pug
Had it happen to me at gaia
Oh, no, I got kicked out to a hub
Is Times Square, Uganda, and Doki safe?
Am I the only one crashing a lot since the sdk update?
why would you go to uganda
^
Nowhere is safe. They just tend to target where hte most people go through at any time.
I'll go to Ugunda after I animate some more anti knuckles stuff
Electro you're my hero
You're a good kid Electro
I'd vote for a downtime to remove this exploit
I’m knuckles ally. That’s why I go to Uganda
another hacker reeeee
I probably spend more time on Blender and Unity than I do on VRChat 😦
Same ^ lol
Penigun club should be the new meme
Yeah I wouldnt mind a complete shutdown for a day or two. It's Early Access after all.
could work idk
I do see that the servers crash often these days
I'm guessing they dont want to talk about what they're doing.
also still 2 weeks till i get my headset probably reee
Got Google Cardboard and my phone working so I could use them as a HMD
literally tries to master Devil May Cry 4 SE like the best players just to record the motion and sound to put into VRChat What am I doing with my life?
@gritty shard Hey, aren't you that guy I met before that had that kewl guitar animation? o:
what hanging out in this channel the last couple weeks has taught me is that what I considered a low entry point price of 350 for a headset and 1000 for a computer is still way above the budget of the typical user.
I have a guitar with lightning on it and the guitar itself has waaay too many frets
If you encounter hackers, please include your output log with your reports! That helps the team tremendously! Please help let other people know aswell, and hopefully we can get this situation less severe.
!outputlog
You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat named vrchat;outputlog.txt
found more models on the bowl site but don't know the key
yeee, that looks awesome. You made that yourself?
I just do animation and particles
Zarni, I got told to go to the report link in this discord but only problem is that the guy had a Russian name and I can't really type Russian letters
Wanted to do something similar since I play a real guitar
@vocal shard the output log give info just send txt file
Even if you don't personally know the hackers name, the logs will show who was hacking either way.
Like if you're being teleported that action will be recorded in the logs.
And who did that
Yeah but this happened maybe 2 days ago or so
Damn if u can detect them then why they still doin it
I didn't know about the log thing then
same with the banned fake thing happen
Yeah got teleported alon with everyone else, twice. I lost control of my character once as well, someone else was moving me around 😦
all that info will target this hacker
I just went up to the guy and asked if he was hacking and he just straight up said yes
The back up strat to fight against a teleporter is to find a chair
Because it's a F2P game and making alternate accounts is easy.
They cant teleport u from a chair
They can't detect it in Real-time, just thanks to those logs
time to spend my entire time in the chair puzzle map
Keep in mind the output log re-creates itself each time you restart VRchat, so send it off before you start up VRchat again.
Oh ok, thank you zarni
Speaking of teleporting... I got a model that I gave rigid bodies and colliders to but it makes me respawn when used in the Pug some reason. Hope that never comes up in someones logs.
Man some hacker just teleported me to the Romero theater and my game crashed
It writes in realtime, so you don't need to exit the client before you send it off.
@vocal shard send output log
Get that log boiiii
However give it a minute or two to record stuff
I wonder if a software that checks the server events in real time could fix the problem
hmmm
Again, I would appreciate if you told your friends about this.
I'm spreading it.
As a map creator it really pains my heart to see people leaving because of hackers
those hackers that mess with people are so annoying
Hackers took all the basketballs from my gym to the court yard and now we aint ballin no moh cuh
well see hacker send output log tell everyone in vrchat
before you know it they will be copying and uploading other peoples maps too >.>
Ill be pissed if hackers stole maps and mods approve them
And by sending logs no one has to worry about non-hackers being caught in a cross-fire in reports. Even if they spoof their nameplates, the log knows the truth.
I spent so many hours on unity
come on, someone, be the white-hat and counter hack them pls
I work 12 hour shifts and i pulled all nighters to work on maps
stop watching movies about hacking please 😄
so any idea what type of ban hackers will get? like just normal or going all the way with IP
had fucking better be all the way
@vocal shard if you see somone use your content send info to moderation report they will remove if has same info on it
no, well, it's possible, as long as u can get to the level of what they do, u can equally messing them like how they mess with other
i have no paitence with them
i agree
Normally, hackers are avoidable in other games but here it's intrusive in a new way.
#smashthem
They need to stop the haxks
@quartz marlin they need hardware banned happen
Time shall tell.
make a firewall that deletes there system 32 files if they try to haxor
ban the MAC address, if that's possible 😛
TyraelJustice.jpg
I knew about VRChat a very very long time ago. Was never interested in VR at all. Only a couple months ago I decided to get the Oculus and join in right before it got popular. Was good while it lasted. Wish I got on board sooner 😦
@quiet willow mac address can be bypass as well
I saw someone stream it a week ago and since then I've been hooked.
im pretty new to vrchat
I joined VRChat two months ago
Now I'm looking to buy an Oculus. Sorry, HTC :p
i been in vrchat for a year
well, true
I mean it's great to see the community grow and all but it has its consequences also xP
there's hardly any definite way though
I joined like 3 days before uganda knuckles became a thing
far too many desktop users for my taste
So, so many hackers.
I was pissed to find out vrchat existed in 2014 otherwise i woulda made maps then
yep
Eyup. 😦
fuckin, i cant still upload shit
They dont got the team for it
Update your SDK
I wish I had some talent to help or somethin'. :l
@vocal shard vrchat been around for 3 year they use have script but that got destory by hacker as well
Manually update it don't just click the "update" button inside unity
Belive in the power 
Download and replace folder
i did that already
e.e
you have the proper unity version? @lapis lintel
welp, back to watching DBZ
@quartz marlin but of course
its not the most recent unity
if you get teleport hacked is it safe to go back in the game?
re launch and go somewhere else
its 5.6.3p1
anyone else having issues?
You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat named vrchat;outputlog.txt
so btw when a haxor takes your model does it stay in there personal? or is it like a pedestal where once they relog it goes away?
@pure urchin they found way to save it
best post output log
so they lose there account
with that save avatar
I wasnt hacked just asking out of curiosity
i just tell how to stop them
when moderation has outputlog
they can get that hacker name
then be instead ban
I vote hardware ban for hackers 
I vote banned from life itself
@brittle crystal that what hardware banned need to happen lol
cant really ban somone use IP
because spoof it
yeah so easy to just renew IP as something else
hacker taking your model? what does that mean?
we need undercover Vrchat cops who play everyday and are spread throught worlds hidden
@split steppe there people who make there own models
So I am assuming you can't upload avatars now unless you have the new sdk?
and not all are 'stolen' if people let you use their assests
Hackers aren't technically "taking" anyones model. They can make a copy of it and use whenever they want. Your original avatar is untouched.
@dark hawk yes need new sdk
I'm hearing that these hackers can hardware ban you from VRChat is this true?
you wouldn't download a car
They can spoof a ban on you, however restarting the client gets rid of it.
@proud arch no that fake banned they found way get in that messenge
Download more ram
jesus
Currently hackers cannot do any permament damage to your account.
@proud arch but it happen before log back in vrchat send output log to moderation
Only temporary annoyances.
download dedicated ram
that's good news
even if you use a public assest as well the person who put it on there profile took the time to make it workable for VRchat and so someone just copying what you did is extremly rude (#nicewords) @split steppe
deditated*
suprisingly i've never actually ran into a hacker yet
wam*
same here
@lilac swan I have sent through the log in a moderation report
lmao
Download vrram for vrchat Kappa
👌
honestly the most annoying thing I've experience d to date is avatars using blinding light sources
I want to download 100% freedom to upload anything I want that will 100% work as it does in Unity ._.
yah i've never actually seen a hacker ingame tbh
teleporting, I'll tolerate... smoldering retinas, not so much.
tbh the taking models thing bugs me the most
@pure urchin best stay away from public area
If I delete my custom avatar from my account, will it stop hacker from using it continually?
You know that pink color when a texture is missing
that's the thing though im always in a public area :0
Fuck that color
@vocal shard think it would be too late
😮 I should be the undercover Vrcop looking for haxors and sending in logs 😮
Need an Anti-Cheat Engine or some sort.
@quartz marlin sure I get that. It's just that I have seen more stolen stuff ingame and clips that actual original avatars so far - but then again I am not very actively engaged with vrchat
Go to the pug servers some dude keeps sending everyone to the George A. Romero servers in there
@visual birch agree need anti-cheat/hack system
Is the hacking problem over?
most f2p mmorpg do it
I mean people made hacks so damn easy lol
problem be they make it very annoying to people
Is the avatar stealing hack over or is it still a problem?
actually its more like someone has distributed it hard af.
still sticking to friends only/private worlds for a while
it's all over youtube
What is this Avatar Stealing hack?
question haxors cant take your model if you're not said model right?
@vocal shard it be problem till they add somthing to stop it
Is uploading broken again?
@low phoenix it's not yet fix, wait for new update.
Uploading works @mental ember
so i could go in as an unity chan and not worry about my models getting taken?
Probably should just use the models already in the base game honestly.
no one explained what this "Avatar Stealing" is.
use default models, or do what I did and start using an AltSpace avatar model
Hmm, weird. Im stuck in "future proofing your content!" even after I tried to reset unity.
nobody wants to steal that
@quartz marlin Sounds ilke that's probably the case
there's one hacker i met in vrchat is also in this discord. how do i report it?
i think we should just all stay unity chan
Avatar stealing is just them being abel to click your avatar as if you were a standing model to take
I mean do they literally ripped the models and take it for themselves? Or
Also - If you see someone that clearly has cloned your avatar. Grab your log and report them. Then they wouldn't be able to use it anymore, and we're down a hacker.
Unity chan is still a good girl
Yeah but does it save to their database or something?
Dont think thats possible, not sure though.
i know what im gonna do im gonna make a cool af model but make the camera really bad like unable to use the menu bad then when i find a hacker switch to that model and hope they steal it
lol
THINK ABOUT IT THOUGH
@visual birch one way stop them from use your avatar is upload different avatar on blueprint or just delete the content manger
make new ID
then obviously report there log
Its a good effort to follow what @lilac swan is saying but the real thing would be having an anti-cheat and/or moderators running around but I don't think there's enough man power or the anti-cheat thing is there at all. *
So are they actually able to steal the model for themselves as if they uploaded it?
@mental ember there just take avatar ID
Now, theoretically speaking, if I was an asshole thinking out loud
ah
@raven silo oh? they got the blueprint ID on them when they use the model?
yea just upload new model with id delete the model they stoel
Okay so like. You can use cameras right now but sadly only you can see it. But what if.... I make a character that is surrounded by cameras in the shape of a ball? If they steal it would the camera work for them? xD
@visual birch They basically steal the models that players rip from other creators. They can get the blueprint as well to make it perma.
well, server dont always response to the update though, or else i would have put a big bill board with "I hacked this avatar from the upploader" on it's back
What happen to to PUB right now?
When I'm enter that world suddenly stuck on 2nd floor unable to open menu or look around just stuck
@visual birch Anti-hack measurements are being worked on. In the meanwhile I feel people sending in their logs of hacker encounters is the best we can do until that is in place.
@gritty shard that would be mildly annoying for two seconds, about the time it takes to switch to a functional avatar.
😦
so if i get my model ripped i just need to delete the thing in the sdk content manager and re upload it then they lose my avatars?
no
I think it would be best to find the source of the distributor and cease & desists the hack maker.
once they get it, they have it
yeah good luck with that
Yeah this is weird, can't get past the "future proofing content" bar in my uploading box
so far everyone else has been telling me otherwise
@tepid raptor what you say does it make new ID?
just disable future proof
you have to wait a minute or two
@mental ember close it and do it again if its more than 1-2 mins.
id steal what there doing
it usually works for me
id will go away if change upload on different avatar
and it's preferedd you keep it enabled
@raven silo anyone can switch the blprt id once they have the model
you deleting or switching your own, wont affect others
I'm tempted to make a honeypot avatar to bait avatar grabbers with.
Baiting Poo?
well send your outputlog then then lose there account fast
also im telling you just make a model with a camera inside of it and only switch to it once you spot a hacker
dont need picture with output log lol
oh, I was thinking of something far worse
Does anyone know if VRChat is safe to play right now? I'm about to stream and don't want a hardware ban from some hacker.
it is
isnt it just a spoof ban you just have to restart your client?
What is future proofing exactly?
just dont go to the great pug
@snow sluice they cant ban you they fake messenge
streamer i would not do any way
because this
yeah the great pug seems to be the most affected
How do I go about avoiding the fake messages, or if it happens what actions do I take?
make the viewpoint at the inside of the pot and put something horrifying inside of the pot so when they steal it they get disgusted
restart game
i wonder if there's a way to put like a lockdown script that insta-close the game when someone copy the avatar
@snow sluice Hackers can spoof bans on you, not give actual real bans. Restarting your client gets rid of it.
@snow sluice its not safe you can still hack
@snow sluice to avoid for right not do streamer if your popluar
yeah, i got hacked 4 times in one go there
like blue waffle or something
that won't stop them
sooooooo should I play or not?
not stop, just make it annoying for them
I need to stream tonight
@rocky bough again, that's easy to bypass in the time it takes to switch avatars.
delete the haxors system 32 files
Just call in sick Kappa
Oooh that's what happened to that one streamer @lilac swan . it was cliffordmicheal or something
I would encourage you to play if you want to, LBTV.
Hackers cannot cause permament damage to your account.
pray for u to not get stream snipe by hackers
Thanks Zarni, I'll give it a shot. See what happens :p
will be slight annoyance at most
Also nice to meet you zarni 😄 I like your avatars 😃
I mean all the big streamers still streamed
a real honeypot would be to make an entirely original avatar (or just a relatively simple edit of an existing model), and make sure it's well known that you're the only one that has it. As soon as you see someone else as it, log that thang
Like Kiwo, Dizzy, etc.
Thanks! I try to diversify from the million anime girl avatar worlds. :)
^thats why i love you
Weeb hackers are the worst tho. Spamming Hentai in rooms ffs
(Though I have two anime girls in my dungeon)
Sseems legit. And gg @lilac swan
that's dark, Zarni
Honestly, its just a matter of getting ahead of the game and putting a system in place to thrwart things like that as the game gets bigger and they beging to expand their staffing group. As someone who is in the Cyber Securities sector. This is just something you cant avoid 100%, you can only get smart about it and stay a step ahead of the game as much as you possibly can, and that can only be done with expirienced and proper work behind the scenes.
Wait what? Are you saying someone could rip your model from VRchat? That same model that you ripped from MMD with much effort?
😽
@analog frost I was thinking making the default skin an incredibly offensive 2D image and a transparency toggle that allows you to flip to an attractive-to-steal model
I got an anime man too
act like you... honestly, if you are an ugandan warrior who cares?
^
W8 untill they get your cc info 🔜
@mental ember well vrchat recently got large from memes, streamers, and other stuff and didn't have it in place or in time.
solution: let's all become knuckles, gl with stealing avatars then ..... 😄
Ugandan warrior is alot cuter in this case
some people actually put work into their avatars @hazy maple
@analog frost run around with the honeypot model toggled, and when your avatar is ripped and loaded it pops up with the default skin 2D image, but the hacker would be unaware of what model they were wearing for a bit, till someone told them or they found a mirror.
Honestly, thats what I care about the most. Espcially as a beginner streamer. Someone stealing my name and then going around screaming the N-word or something like that to get the name banned. There has already been reports of that.
WAIT THAT'S IT THAT IS DE WAE EVERYONE MUST BE A KNUCKLES SO THE HAXORS WILL HAVE NOTHING TO STEAL
bad
@analog frost I have not seen a single one, unless you mean skipping through a 1h tutorial on importing models from MMD.
Is it true hackers have Armin rights now and can Hardware ban you in vrc?
God damn the imports where long and cruciating and especially depricating a model...
wait, i see, when u found an extremely rude person, u better check if the dude is actually what he is
@visual birch Oh yeah I understand that. It really did explode almost out of nowhere, its just a matter of them being able to fight this rather quickly if they want to survive
I've seen more than a few talented artists and animators make really unique avatars with cool animations @hazy maple
@onyx tendon that fake messenge there putt up just restart your client
yah
but send your output log moderation
@onyx tendon That is false. Hackers can spoof bans on you to make it seem like it, however if you restart your game client it goes away and you can play again.
have anyone check if the model stealing hack also cover the name when they stole someone's avatar?
the one i found yesterday wasnt
A friend of mine made a large knight that can spawn a small genji in his hand, who will then dance to "Toxic" by britney spears. It's pretty awesome.
