This blog did not and will not send requests for bitcoin donations.

There seems to be a virus or some sort of malware going around causing blogs to “send out” chat messages to blogs that they follow asking for help with the purchase of certain items through donations of seemingly small amounts using bitcoin and adds a link to the message.

The message goes as following (at least the first message I got went like this): “Hi there buddy. I need help, I’m trying to buy a laptop and I can’t afford it. I’m about 0.36$ short, and I’d really appreciate if you could help me and transfer some money to me via bitcoin using this *link*.”

The small details in the message seems to have a few variations with the greeting, amount and purchased item showing up in different variations from formal to friendly, from 0.016 to 2$ and from a phone case to a laptop among others.

The blogs that are affected send out the messages to blogs that they follow for a long time mostly, so you are most likely to receive the message from a long time, active follower whose name you might recognize or a mutual etc. The blogs that are affected are not spam bots but actual active followers who follow the recipient for months or years and most likely the blogger who “sent” the message is unaware of the message being sent.

DO NOT OPEN THE LINK.

Opening up the link will cause the virus to spread even more and infect your computer/mobile with any sort of malware.

If you have received a message of that sort from this blog please know that it was not sent by me or within my control and ignore/delete the message without clicking the link.

I will never ask for bitcoins. If you got one from me - do NOT open the link.

called a square because that was the idea I had in the beginning. Then it turned into a park.

This is the actual tenth neighborhood (apparently I can’t count) in my neighborhood project; Yellowhorn, named after a plant from the soapberry family, native to several regions of China.

Only six more neighborhoods to go! They are all waiting for me to dress them up and take pictures.

When I started this was a 200 followers gift. Giving it took me so long to make, it’s a little bit more. But here it is!! 200+ followers gift!

I did 5 kitty recolors on Grilled Cheese, 4 big cats stickers and their mirrors so it’s really eight on Butterfly Crawler wall Decal, and I did 6 fridge recolors on Country Refrigerator by Aerynne.

The fridges are a bit so-so but considering how long it took me to get them to even show up. The images on them aren’t too sharp in my game and I don’t know if that’s just me. If it’s not just me, I’m sorry about that. Any idea how to fix it?

Swatches included (lots of cats, I know) Files compressed.

Hey Cassis, thank you for all your hard work! This isn't a WCIF but more of a tip for content hunters. If you've been noticing blogs with broken images from Photobucket download an extension called Photobucket Hotlink Fix. You'll be able to see the images again :)

This blog is actually ran by three people nowadays (Cassis, Digi and Kiri) so you could be receiving replies from any of us. :) (this is Digi writing atm btw)

And yes there luckily are extensions for fixing Photobucket mess up nowadays, here’s list of some of them copied from Simscave:

For Chrome:

For Firefox:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-embedded-fix

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-fixer/

For Opera:

Not sure if any exists for other browsers but I’d imagine just searching their add-on store or such for “photobucket” will find some hits. And of course those sadly won’t help if the people have deleted their pictures in fit of rage (like I did before those add-ons started popping up *sighs*)

This is the tenth neighborhood in my neighborhood project; Holly, named after the main character in one of my favorite books (A Proscriptive Relationship, by Jordan Lynde). It is also still a plant.

I cannot for the life of me remember where it fits into the puzzle. It’s been too long. Once all of them are posted I’ll add a picture of the SimCity view.

This is the ninenth neighborhood in my neighborhood project; Oxalis, named after a large genus of flowering plants in the wood-sorrel family.

I cannot for the life of me remember where it fits into the puzzle. It’s been too long. Once all of them are posted I’ll add a picture of the SimCity view.
