1461  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: mass generation of addresses using private key on: November 13, 2022, 09:38:56 AM
In terms of software development, what is the most efficient and performant way to generate the derived three bitcoin addresses ( uncompressed 3..., compressed 1..., segwit bc1q... ) from a private key?
Uncompressed 3... from a private key? AFAIK it's impossible.

It's fully possible to generate such address, after all it's just P2SH (Pay to script hash) address. But as @LoyceV said, spending it is very difficult to spend the coin since the transaction would be considered as non-standard and won't be relayed by most node. For reference, here are few past incident about using uncompressed public key on P2SH-P2WPKH or P2WPKH address,

1462  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 12 and 24 seed-phrases on: November 13, 2022, 08:57:03 AM
But IIRC 12 seed-phrase words generated by Electrum comes out before BIP 39 standard exists.
Original Electrum seed phrases were 13 words or fewer, which encoded 136 bits of data (128 bits of entropy plus 8 bits of version data). On the one out of 16 occasions that the first 4 bits were 0000, then the seed phrase would be 12 words. Otherwise, it would be 13 words.

Which Electrum version you're talking about? On Electrum 0.29 which i've tested on early 2022[1] show it generate 12 words with 128-bit seed (indicated by 32 character HEX on generated wallet seed). The source code for seed generation state it use 2^128 range[2].

Will be interesting to see what the general mempool policy turns out to be and how quickly nodes and miners start enabling the option.

I don't expect node operator bother change default option. It's already proved with lack of node which accept transaction with fee lower than 1 sat/vbyte or non-standard transaction.

There is already some financial incentive for miners to start adopting full RBF, not just from people attempting to replace non-RBF flagged transactions but also from this: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2022-November/021143.html

Starting from $100/block? It's rather generous considering coming from an individual.

What nonsense!

The Czech $40USD USB random number generators are real good about generating real random numbers to seed the algo that feeds new keys to the engine;

What makes this USB do better job than /dev/urandom or RNRAND/RDSEED which available on modern CPU?

1465  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: mass generation of addresses using private key on: November 12, 2022, 12:26:04 PM
But if you have a million private keys, what is the fastest way to fulfill this task, what do you suggest?

If you have decent programming skill, i'd suggest to modify Bitcoin brute-force software which have GPU support.

is there any python snippet you're aware of ? Thank you

Python library bit[1] claim it's 100x faster compared with other Bitcoin python library. I've tried it before, but it doesn't support Bech32 address. Anyway, i did quick dirty benchmark and here's the result with 100K hex private keys.

Code:
from bit import Key

hexfile = open('hex.txt')
hexkey = [h.strip() for h in hexfile.readlines()]

addressfile = open('address.txt', 'w')
addresslist = ''
for h in hexkey:
  key = Key.from_hex(h)
  addresslist += key.address + '\n'

addressfile.write(addresslist)

It's much faster than i expected where the script generate 100K address in 6 seconds.

Code:
$ time python3 test.py 

real    0m6.019s
user    0m5.958s
sys     0m0.060s

Here's snippet of hex.txt and address.txt.

Code:
$ tail -n 5 hex.txt

Depending on the topic you're looking for, you better find specific website or newsletter. For example, i use https://bitcoinops.org/ for Bitcoin technical news/information.

What about news aggregators? https://cryptopanic.com

I checked that website and IMO it's not really helpful for OP. By default, it has option "Top News" and "Show All" where 10 top news was posted in last hour. I'd recommend https://defidive.com/news instead which have better categorization (media news, twitter and youtube) and filter that is easier to use/understand.

If you’re tired of seeing threads about BTCapsule, please keep reading because it has been completely rebuilt.

If so, i would recommend you to edit (to let people know about this thread) and lock older thread.

I have also included a testnet version of the code, so if you have Python, feel free to test it out and see how it works.

I tested for a bit and found out clicking "Generate" button multiple times caused multiple address/private key shown on text box without separator. You might want to change the behavior.
1468  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: not_publicly_routable on getpeerinfo on: November 12, 2022, 09:50:18 AM
How do those nodes connect to me (or me to them) without me knowing their ip address?

Since those IP are private IP address (as defined by rfc1918[1]), it's possible those nodes actively scan the local network.

After establishing that part, each node in the network do also share each other information and the node may keep the information in their own known-node local databases, so other or you can connect to each other. For a further detailed explanation, you can refer to: https://developer.bitcoin.org/devguide/p2p_network.html

So when I'm connected to a  not publicly routeable node, does that mean I'm connected to it through another node?

No. It means it can't be accessed through outside local network since the node has private IP address[2]. Bitcoin Core getpeerinfo only show directly connected node.

1469  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 12 and 24 seed-phrases on: November 11, 2022, 12:54:39 PM
Was it originally possible to choose a 12 and 24 word bitcoin wallet seed-phrase as it is now, or did the ability to choose 24 words come later? That is, a kind of option: reliable and more reliable.

For seed-phrase which follow BIP 39 standard, both 12 and 24 words comes out at the same time since the specification mention you can generate 12, 15, 18, 21 or 24 words. But IIRC 12 seed-phrase words generated by Electrum comes out before BIP 39 standard exists.

Are there discussions or work on this issue?

AFAIK no since 12/24 seed-phrase words is deemed secure enough.
1470  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: 4 byte size limit for time in block header on: November 11, 2022, 12:03:35 PM
My only thought is to have it reset to 0, but how would you even go about doing that without doing a hardfork?

Hardfork will be needed since node only accept block with 2 hours offset.

I really feel like this is a discussion we should having now rather than latter.

I disagree, year 2106 is 84 years eight from now and most of us won't live until then (unless live expectancy significant improved). There are more pressing concern such as full-RBF, quantum-resistant cryptography and block size.
1471  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Mining in my backyard vs Hosted mining on: November 11, 2022, 11:35:52 AM
Your question lack many details. For example, what is electricity rate on your area? Which hosted mining you're talking about?. But assuming backyard means outdoor area (which isn't good for ASIC due to higher humidity) and you're not willing to learn about setup/maintain your ASIC, hosted mining is better option.

I never use hosted mining service, but few service require you to do things on your side. For example, sending ASIC to their farm building or choosing your own pool.

I didn't try any of those game, but i checked the FAQ[1] and found out few interesting things. They host tournament regularly[2] where they claim user could win 10000 satoshi (about $1.68) or more[3]. It looks like you could earn more satoshi compared with faucet and some bounty tasks for those with some skill. And while it's obvious for some people, this game has poor privacy where they collect many kinds of data[4].

and @mod if this thread doesn't belong to this board, kindly move it to where it should be thanks!

I'm not moderator, but IMO this thread is more suitable on "Service Discussion" board since all game you mentioned developed by THNDR.

This is the reason why exchangers still popular

Only one of the reason. Some people either don't know existence of non-custodial wallet which is easy to use or they don't bother move their coin.

Can you tell one safe and secure btc wallet ?
Wich one is safe

Without additional detail, i would recommend BlueWallet (since most people own mobile device and it has good transparency). But take note there's no thing such as absolute security

Hari ini saya melakukan testing transaksi bitcoin.

--snip--

Saran saya untuk testing Bitcoin, sebaiknya menggunakan Bitcoin Testnet untuk menghemat uang agan. Untuk menggunakan Bitcoin Testnet pada Electrum, tambahkan parameter --testnet pada shortcut atau perintah console.

4. Ketika wallet bc1xx saya sudah terkonfirmasi menerima 0.00073 BTC, saya mencoba untuk melakukan pengiriman kepada wallet 3xx dan bc1xx.

--snip--

- Pada pengiriman ke wallet bang ETFBitcoin terjadi transaksi 9ba9cde22032dd23e52c60659b11560aa7d0706e9c9ae9ee63f12c718019478e, dimana saya mengirim 0.00017276 BTC dengan fee transaksi 0.00000517 BTC (IDR 1.419,53), hal ini menggunakan fee 4.7 satoshi per vbyte (merubah slider fee).

Alamat Bitcoin apakah yang bisa saya gunakan untuk mengambalikan 0.00017276BTC (minus tx fee 1 sat/vbyte)?

Quote
"Transaksi seperti ini" yang agan maksud transaksi yang manakah?
Yang saya maksud semua fee transaksi blockchain diatas, menurut saya layak (kecuali transaksi WD, dan menurut saya itu bukan fee blockchain kan?)
Dikatakan layak karena fee masih dibawah 4% dari nilai fiat aset tersebut

Sebagai catatan, fee transaksi pada Bitcoin didasarkan pada ukuran transaksi Bitcoin dalam satuan vbyte/weight.

FYI, the script was originally created by @grue[1-2] under GPLv2 license[3]. @EcuaMobi and i made several change/improvement. Mozilla provide guide to combine MPL 2.0 and and GPL license[4], but i don't know it can be applied for MPL 2.0 and GPLv2.

Regarding the license, the BPIP extension is distributed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.,

Distribution rights aren't the same as the licence's rights' itself.

Many software license including MPL 2.0 already handle how the software/source code can be distributed[5].

Hello, I am testing your Extension.
When pasting the code in Tampermonkey, I see there are various yellow triangles along the code.
Can you check everything is okay and not needing any maintenance?


Grat extension so far!

The script works without problem on my device. Yellow triangle/warning icon shown because,
1. TamperMonkey doesn't check "$" is used by jQuery library.
2. Simply showing recommendation to write the code.

Although warning message on line 8 // @include ... suggest tiny change might be needed in the future. I might make change if the script is broken in the future.

I appreciate your effort to let people know there's people giving/selling fake WIF/paper wallet out there. Although i doubt creating list of all probable fake/scam WIF/paper wallet is worth it since scammer could just generate new one easily.

In the most cases it is unfortunately not true - I do not know who is the source of that images, but it is surprising for me how that content is circulating and comes back to me (sometimes after several weeks/months).

My bet would be grey/dark market which can't be accessed with your usual browser/internet connection. I've seen people discussing certain .onion website which sell fake Electrum wallet (which only encrypt private key, seed, etc.), so it's not surpirsing if there's website for fake WIF/paper wallet.

VanitySearch may not compute a good gridsize for your GPU, so make several tries using -g options in order to find best performances.

What is the best and most efficient way to determine and use the optimum gridsize for a GPU?

The author was asked similar question in past and he only recommend to try different number[1]. Personally i'd recommend you to see benchmark list created by DaveF[2] as reference. Of course there are general guide to choose total block/grid on CUDA[3-4], but i've no idea whether it can be applied to VanitySearch's gridsize.

Well that's a fair question but let's suppose they both agree to delete ninjastic.space and loyce.club, How about other places? For example web.archive.org I don't think they will honor such requests.

Your statement has some inaccuracy, for website/crawler/archive service under legal company/organization have some legal obligation to honor data removal.
