Chances are you can find information about the owner on the same HDD. I'm still curious how you got the HDD: did you buy it? Did you find it in a trash bin? Was it dumped/stolen?

Lol

I checked, but it does what I'm doing already. The awk-command removes duplicate lines without sorting the lines. I'd like to do it, but I can't run it.

I'd be interested to see which real address is the shortest. The 111111111-addresses are all burn addresses. I'm not entirely sure what determines address length, but from what I've seen, shorter addresses are much harder to find. I've been looking for short addresses created from mini-private-keys, and they were quite rare.
To find a real short address, it needs to have sent funds too.

See List of all Bitcoin addresses with a balance.

This is what I said last time:
I currently have this in apache2.conf:
Just tell me what to change
Will this work (I haven't changed it yet)?

For what it's worth: I hadn't figured out the right CSS yet for posts at that time. It gets better later

It gets around 50% larger, Bitcoin addresses don't compress very well.

I could only find addresses for Series 1 and Series 4: none of those addresses have been redeemed recently.

We never got clear what's under the "Redeem" QR, but it's starting to make sense if that's a BIP38 encrypted private key.
However, this is what OP said about it:
That wouldn't explain why he removed the Redeem QR. Unless it was blank already.

Combining Series 1 and Series 4, the following addresses have been funded in the past and are now empty (I used this morning's data dump, so any very recent changes are ignored):

Only one was emptied this year, in April.

How did this happen?

Series 1 is posted here.

I can check which addresses have been funded, and which still have a balance. From the remaining addresses I'd like to check when they were sweeped.
I still need a list of addresses for Series 2 and 3.

There's no point in deleting links, if the same text can be found in [CLOSED] bhCoins Serie 3 0.1 BTC denominated physical Bitcoin.

The data could have been kept by a buyer who kept records on how to redeem his physical coins.

Or why he had 35 BTC (or more) stored unencrypted on a hard drive.

Let's see: https://loyce.club/archive/details/topic_5269288.html

I'm not sure either, I was hoping someone knows something I don't know.

That's what he claims, we can't verify it though.

That's a risk a coin maker shouldn't taken, but you can never be absolutely sure. It looks like he found several other funded private keys, and so far pictures of funded addresses that belong to collectible coins. But no private keys for those coins (yet):

I have no reason to believe they're in on anything shady.

So far, it looks like someone found a drive with many private keys and public data of physical Bitcoins.

I don't know how he got the computer. Publishing private messages is often frowned upon, so I don't want to quote what he said exactly.

I guess it wasn't clear that alladdresses.loyce.club:20319 doesn't run at AWS. It uses HDD.

It takes many hours while keeping server load low, but it really isn't a problem.
If someone has enough RAM to experiment, I'd love to see the result of this (on the 31 GB file):

First time I couldn't think of a good title. Please help

Original post:


Based on what Kuw posted, and what he sent by PM, I think he may have gotten his hands on data from a physical Bitcoin manufacturer. It started out as a Technical Support topic, but it now looks like something that needs an Investigation. Since it looks like collectible coins, I'm posting it on this board.
Using List of all Bitcoin addresses with a balance, the bottom-left Bitcoin address on the picture leads to 1NGUj3tGN2NNnk79tR6dZDY7LqUEsR6i5n, which brings me to https://wiki.coin.community/BhCoins_Series_1.

So is fiat money
But none of that matters to the average person: you don't need to understand the complicated details to be able to use it.

I'm already using "sort", which uses /tmp by default.

I'll try "sort -u" though, it might need less temporary storage than "sort | uniq". The next update is scheduled for tomorrow, I'll see how it performs.

I think you mean RAM, not CPU. This VM has only 256 MB, so I'll let "sort" figure it out on it's own.

That's default behaviour It doesn't have an SSD though, and I'm using "cputool" to keep server load low. I'm okay without daily updates on this, I wouldn't want users to download this large file on a daily basis anyway.

Since last year, I'm using an AWS server donated by suchmoon for loyce.club. However, since AWS charges $0.15/GB, I'm not comfortable hosting very large files on suchmoon's server.
When I tested sorting data on AWS, it started throtting disk IO after a while, which made it very slow. I've also tested a pay-by-the-hour-VPS, and obviously it was a lot faster.

There's one thing on my wish list though: a method to show only unique addresses in order of appearance (without sorting them). It can be done with awk '!a[$0]++', but this requires a lot of memory and doesn't use temporary files.

It might not be the original owner: "This user's password was reset recently."

Thanks again for your flawlessly accurate timing! My time machine was on the phone, so I'm late

I haven't found anything based no the 6 word sample seed you posted.

I barely use Telegram, and I don't trust it at all. So a PM here is better, or email if you want.

Mine is a lot less accurate now than it was a few days ago (which I'm totally fine with).

It depends on the post, which has to be really good for that amount. Or it depends on the user if someone needs 50 Merit to rank up, and has decent posts.
Both are okay with theymos:

I'm pretty sure theymos keeps an eye on Merit sources once in a while, and if you have specific suspicious you can either post it in Meta, or tell theymos directly.

What's wrong with Meriting thick-skinned gang members who like sarcasm?

As of last Friday:
Even though I have no doubt that a large share of their Merit came from a small group, the above numbers show many different users value their posts. And it makes sense that the small group of users who has a lot of sMerit to give, also gives larger amounts.
