11701  Other / Meta / Re: Ledger database leak --> Phishing on: April 09, 2021, 08:48:03 AM
A class action lawsuit has been filed against crypto wallet firm Ledger, Shopify for a 2020 customer data breach as reported by the Block   https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/100860/ledger-shopify-class-action-lawsuit-filed  
Quote from: the above link
the complaint references only two Ledger users directly, who together lost 4.2 BTC, 11 ETH and 150,000 XLM to phishing attacks. At today's prices, those holdings add up to $340,000
This is a bit far-fetched in my opinion. The only way for phishing to work, is if the user did something very dumb. A targeted $5 wrench attack would make it easier to blame Ledger.

Quote
The firm estimates the damages at more than $5 million
That's less than $20 per user who's data they leaked. Enough to buy their own wrench to defend themselves?

The $20,000 limit is essentially what Coinbase negotiated to. The IRS had initially demanded the details of all Coinbase's US customers, and the final settlement was all customers who had traded over $20,000 within a year. Given that is what Coinbase handed over, I wouldn't expect Kraken to be able to negotiate any significantly different arrangement.
Interesting. Are banks treated the same way in the US? When I file my taxes, even bank accounts without a balance are pre-filled, and literally every cent is accounted for.

11704  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 32 number and letter private key on: April 08, 2021, 02:13:09 PM
32 character starting with 917b
There's this:
Private Key in uncompressed Hexadecimal Format is 32 bytes, or 64 characters in the range 0-9 or A-F.

If the characters are all 0-9 and A-F, it's hexadecimal. If that's the case: could it be you're holding half the key?
If I enter 917b917b917b917b917b917b917b917b917b917b917b917b917b917b917b917b in Bitaddress.org's Wallet Details tab, it produces a valid private key. But that's 64 characters.
11705  Economy / Exchanges / Re: IRS John Doe summons on Kraken on: April 08, 2021, 11:31:19 AM
I'm pretty surprised it's taken this long for them to start going after other exchanges too.
I expected they would have done this already. I'm surprised they didn't, and I'm also surprised they only want to know accounts above $20,000.

Governments and tax agencies in Europe are starting to do the same thing. If you have provided your details to a centralized exchange, your government will get their hands on your information sooner or later.
That's always a safe assumption when dealing with taxes Smiley

I predict an annoucnement from Kraken telling their users that they will begin leaving US jurisdiction and stop accepting American customers.
Unlikely. Kraken is based in San Francisco. Stock brokers don't abandon US customers because of the IRS either, they just comply.

the address does begin with a "q"
i moved it from a nano s to nano x back in august. the account it was in says unsplit the new account doesnt say this. im having an ongoing issue with sending or receiving it. Its not recognizing it. All software and apps are up to date as of yesterday. Ive reset the nano, reinstalled the app etc. Ledger has been horrible as many know.
Can you post (or PM) the address?

As for Ledger: you can use it with Electrum (and various Forked versions for Forkcoins) instead of Ledger's own software. DO NOT enter your Ledger seed words into Electrum, but let the Ledger handle the addresses, transactions and verification. See Ledger: Set up Electrum.
Be careful not to accidentally send Forkcoins that lack replay protection to an address you don't own.

I wonder if it was a case of their algorithm making a mistake, or maybe OP is a long standing customer with lots of deposits and an account in good standing and so he gets the benefit of the doubt.
That "good standing" is quite a flaw! It means anyone can send some 1 sat/byte dust to his Roobet deposit address, and he'll be forced to pay an expensive accelerator again.
11710  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Analysis of the "split-key" vanity address method: How does it work? on: April 07, 2021, 10:16:47 AM
Allow me to share gmaxwell's post, in which he describes a method for N different people to all search for multiple vanity keys securely using a form of split-key. This would make a very powerful vanity pool while sharing computation costs.
11711  Economy / Reputation / Re: Goodbye, world! on: April 07, 2021, 09:31:37 AM
as if people cannot leave this forum.
That's easy:
Code:
echo '127.0.0.1 bitcointalk.org' >> /etc/hosts
Or for mortals:
Code:
sudo echo '127.0.0.1 bitcointalk.org' >> /etc/hosts

Of course, you are correct:  Satoshi is probably dead, or otherwise incapacitated.  Nonetheless, I hope that Satoshi is alive and well.  And that is the nature of Hope!
Best case scenario I can come up with: jail. And that's the best case, I don't have much hope for other scenarios.

This removes all the "soft" inclusions as well as removing the issue of people artificially inflating their own trust scores.
I'm still in favor of this!
DT1 requires this:
- You must have been online sometime within the last 3 days.
For DT2, something like being online in the last 90 days might be good too.

Let DT1/2 members have a full signature and everyone else have restrictions.
I think that's a bad idea.
I'd be in favor of removing signatures for users with a certain number of negative feedbacks on boards that don't show Trust ratings. That would stop scammers like this guy from advertising a scam in their signature on for instance the Beginners board.

11714  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcointalk forum holding 125 BTC on: April 07, 2021, 08:53:26 AM
The last mod payment resulted in the mods getting a total of 0.1844BTC, and was sent in the middle of March. I looked at the previous ad auctions going back a month (based on the end date) prior to the mod payment being sent, and the forum received a total of 0.325BTC from selling ads. So it looks like last month, the forum spent about 56% of their revenue on mods. At current prices, that leaves about $8100 to pay for hosting, and any other expenses the forum may incur.
There's also a considerable cost for forum treasurers: (at least) 4*0.75BTC per year, or 0.25BTC per month. That's 77% of the ads revenue you mentioned.
11715  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: MONERO.CX | MONERO AND BITCOIN SWAPS | FAST | NO LOGS | CHEAP on: April 07, 2021, 07:50:04 AM
I was waiting to post this for the bounty program, but that takes too long so I'll post it already:

Your exchange can be gamed!
If I create an exchange now, the Letter of Guarantee shows:
Quote
The current date is Apr 07 2021. Your swap will expire on Apr 09 2021.
~
Your exchange rate is 1 XMR = 0.00508826 BTC.
Your exchange rate is 1 BTC = 196.530837654 XMR.
Monero went up about 6% in the last day. With some testing in the past week, I got 2 signed Letters with about 7% difference in exchange rate, that were still valid at the same time.
So by collecting different Letters of Guarantee, someone can wait for Monero to go up or down against Bitcoin, and exchange to a coin that's worth more. Your 4% fee is a given, but not enough to prevent a few percent profit by sending it to another (instant) exchange.

This is the reason why exchange rates usually expire after at most 15 minutes. Your site offers up to 3 days, I don't think that's sustainable.



I'm still curious about this:
What do you do when you run out of either Bitcoin or Monero?

The mixer not only mixes your bitcoins, it converts them into Monero and then into Bitcoin, which ensures a high degree of anonymity.
Great! You got me curious.
Quote from: FAQ
Your money will first be converted in Monero, then mixed before returning it to you in Bitcoin
This is how it works : BITCOIN (YOU) ➔ MONERO ➔ BITCOIN MIXER ➔ YOU

It is the most efficient technique that exists today, and we are the first to offer it to you!
I do believe Bitcoin > Monero > Bitcoin can be a good way to use Monero's anonymity to hide your Bitcoin transaction. However, I don't see how using a centralized service for this helps one bit. Your mixer is a black box to the outside world. Bitcoin goes in, Bitcoin comes out. And that's all that matters for chain analysis. You can convert Bitcoin to potatoes and back to Bitcoin, and it won't make the slightest difference.
11718  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 2 Stuck btc transactions.. anyone can help? on: April 06, 2021, 07:07:46 PM
Roobet allow users to play with funds from deposits while those deposits are still unconfirmed. However, before you can withdraw any winnings, your deposit must confirm to avoid people double spending and leaving the casino out of pocket.
I'm just amazed they allow zero-deposit transactions with such a low fee. Unless it's limited to OP's (high level) account, this could easily be abused ("deposit 1 Bitcoin at low fee, go all-in, double spend if lost").

Is it normal for a reputable escrow to engage in transactions related to the sale of accounts?
It happens, see SebastianJu accepts transaction buying/selling bitcointalk accounts.
I think the general consensus is DT-members won't tag the escrow for it, if that's what you're looking for.
