Is there any estimate how much yogg stole so far?

As an update, I've just read this overly saddening topic from Krogoth hence I think that I may have been wrong and there may be other tx and more amounts that were stolen.

There are unloaded and DYI ones which imho they make much more sense, but the loaded ones bear much higher premium
The problem with DIY is that if you sell it, the buyer has to trust you instead of the manufacturer. There is no perfect solution.

That's correct. Imho if one wants to keep that DYI like forever, then he loads it; else (or if unsure) it can just stay unloaded as a DYI "kit", no biggie.
Of course, a collectible that's not loaded doesn't also hold the bigger and bigger premium over time. But there are always pluses and minuses.

I think that's "only" these addresses:



Still, that's over half a BTC. Plus the premium lost for those beautiful collectibles... Angry Plus the many who may have unpeeled more of their collectibles to check them  Angry

What lessons to learn from the Luke Dashjr private keys (data) breach? How to prevent, counter-measure and cope with that kind of attacks?

Get a hardware wallet and write your backups onto paper with your own hand.

I am buying btc at www.coinbase.com ,do anything need to know about buying BTC at www.coinbase.com?

I didn't use Coinbase, but based on how centralized exchanges work, some things that come into my mind are:

* afaik Coinbase asks for KYC, make sure you pass that and don't get surprises when you want to withdraw
    (as alternative you can look for non-KYC exchanges, usually decentralized ones, but those need a different learning curve)

* depending on the amount you'll be buying the withdrawal fee from Coinbase to your own wallet may or may not hurt (it's a fixed fee and on small amounts to withdraw it can be seen as significant fee)
    (again, there's the already mentioned decentralized exchanges, but also the OTC exchanges which have worse exchange rates, but together with the withdrawal fees it may get less expensive for small amounts)


Sorry if I'm confusing you more than I help you. If you want to keep it simple: pass KYC first, don't withdraw very small amounts, instead withdraw after more smaller buys if it's the case.

2. I suggest making a new column and mentioning if the devices can be connected to Android and iPhone, or just one of the models. I think Ledger only works with Android phones and not with iPhones. There are surely similar examples with other manufacturers as well.  

I think that even for PC there could be a need for a special column (because of the NFC wallets, for example).
But overall, yes, after gathering all the info I am sure that OP can make a better looking table that can be read easier by all who are interested.
1507  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Trust no one in Bitcoin (Coldkey story) on: January 13, 2023, 10:19:55 AM
Taking a quick look at Coldkey, isn't this pretty much something like the Ballet Wallet? Pretty much like trusting a person/manufacturer to generate a paper wallet for you? Yikes.

It is. But the manufacturers pretty much try to sell them like art (imho). There are unloaded and DYI ones which imho they make much more sense, but the loaded ones bear much higher premium, plus the owner will think twice before redeeming the "paper wallet" because it decreases its value more than just with those bitcoins it was holding.

But yes, at the end of the day, they're just nicer paper wallets made by somebody else.
Even more, while 95% of the cases the manufacturers can be trusted (at least until now), the more hands the collectible pass on, the bigger the chance somebody has found a way to unseal it and copy the private key for "future use".

As minerjones said it very good:

Our "hobby" of loaded coins is inherently a bad idea and against everything bitcoin stands for!!!
1508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why would someone send 4 BTC to Satoshi (Genesis block) on: January 13, 2023, 09:51:34 AM
I agree with @pooya87 on this.
I see no good reason to send 4 BTC to Satoshi and some 100$ to a change address. I think that whoever did that wanted to send the 100$ to Satoshi and 4 BTC to self.

Of course, making a donation to everybody is another not-too-bad scenario, i.e. somebody with lots of money wanted to make every bitcoiner a bit richer with this, or at least Satoshi if he ever comes back.
Still, the scenario with the error makes more sense to me...

Mi-a amintit de unul similar:

Un tip trecea mereu dimineata, in drum spre munca, pe langa o vanzatoare de seminte. Zi de zi ii lasa cate 50 de bani in poala, atat cat costa un pahar de seminte, dar nu lua niciodata semnitele. Azi asa, maine asa, poimaine asa, trece timpul... Intr-o dimineata, pe srumul spre serviciu isi repeta omul ritualul. Da sa plece, dar il opreste tiganca. Nedumerit, omul intreaba: ce s-a intamplat? De azi s-a scumpit, e un leu pahar,ul ii raspunde vanzatoarea.

Daaaa  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy, il mai auzisem, demult, dar tot am ras din nou la el. Super fain si de actualitate!

Avem un concurs nou!

Multumesc!
Din pacate nu ma lasa sistemul sa iti mai dau merite pentru o vreme, am fost prea darnic in ultima luna Grin

Yup.  This prediction failed and I was also quite unsure that's the only reason this thread title ended with a ?
Hope you didn't missed this thread where I analyzed 50% down move too and it got executed -> Bitcoin Hash Ribbons Capitulation Alert!

All good though! Smiley

Just read again, what I was asking for was new charts and predictions, not old proofs.  Wink
I am aware that this kind of predictions, no matter how good are they documented, may or may not come true, don't worry.

@ImThour, I've admitted that my crystal globe is broken, but it looks like yours is no better...
It's not only that the 9th of January doomsday was avoided, but the crypto winter seems to be ending too; or am I rushed with my conclusions?

So let's move on and bring us another chart, what you think? Any new prediction?

Nu inteleg ce a vrut sa zica autorul !
Adica ai dat 500 EURO pentru o placa de minat din asta mica ? produsa acum 10 ani ? cu ~700 MH/s si 66W ?

Nu ai cum! Ia uita-te pe ce a postat peste tot: chestii "cu talc" si fara sens.
E doar inca un bounty spammer si nimic mai mult. Nu-ti bate capul. Nu m-ar mira sa fi si tradus cu cine stie ce, deci si daca ar fi avut sens in limba originala, nu mai are.

Is there any better website/image that shows the elements of a bitcoin transaction in a byte level?

Maybe this is what you're looking for? https://learnmeabitcoin.com/technical/transaction-data
That website is afaik one of the best sources for learning.
1514  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Hardware Wallets that work with Smartphones? on: January 12, 2023, 08:54:00 PM
With the proper cable or an adapter into the original cable Ledger Nano S (and S Plus) can also easily get connected to smartphone. Tested/used by me with Android phones.
I've even posted sometime in the past the adapter I'm using (for microUSB, but there also exist such adapted for USB-C too)

And before Tibu sees you  Cheesy you can also add SatoChip since it's NFC, but I don't really know more details on that one. For PC they sell a reader too.

What else is there?

Another rather popular random seed is system uptime (as opposed to current date/time).

If you insist, I guess that you can even try to start up the mic, record some noise and add that too to the randomness. Just of course, the recording level has to be big enough to catch anything and there's a chance the OS may tell the user what you're doing.
1517  Economy / Economics / Re: Twitter could launch in-app ‘coins’ to help creators make money on: January 12, 2023, 05:26:49 PM

The easiest way to get rich is to make money out of thin air. Whether Elon will try to make only some "game coins" inside Twitter or something else, we'll see. Depending on the path he's taking he may have to pass various licensing steps or not. After Facebook experiment I'm sure the politicians will keep a close eye on it.
If he will make a new coin, then the success of that may happen only together with Twitter's.

Intr-adevar, scrierile mele (in general foarte entuziaste fata de Bitcoin) contin aspecte care nu corespund 100% realitatii -- licenta poetica, cum spui tu; dar nici nu trebuie sa fie.

Doar ca din pacate, cum ai vazut in sectiunea internationala, lumea poate (chiar foarte usor) sa "iti sara la gat" pentru unele inexactitati mai degraba nesemnificative si sa piarda esenta...

Intr-adevar, nu am atins niciodata acest subiecte. Ar fi un topic foarte interesant, zic eu.

Nu stiu cati ar avea o vedere de ansamblu suficient de buna pentru o analiza mai corecta decat a mea (ca a mea, desi o doresc corecta, este doar cum simt eu ca stau lucrurile), dar las la latitudinea ta daca merita sau nu incercat.
Mi-e ca prea multi o sa se cramponeze in componenta speculativa si de teapa a monedelor alternative, de exemplu...

Frumos spus! Nota 20 din partea mea! Smiley

Multumesc Cheesy

1519  Economy / Exchanges / Re: 90% of India's largest crypto exchange funds are in Binance wallet on: January 12, 2023, 04:47:22 PM
If binance falls, there will be something like a Domino effect for sure!

I am actually surprised that people still need this kind of news to understand all these (bad) relationships.
Of course, people will prefer some rich exchange owners' posts on Twitter than the plain and simple "not your keys, not your coins".

Really? Really? 1/5 of the coins on Wazirx are Shiba Inu?

Welcome to the world of altcoins  Grin
..And yeah, if this is true then there are reasonable chances that WazirX could fall before Binance does.

I'd suggest refraining from inviting users to participate in campaigns unless you are completely sure that they're fine with it.
That's what I will do to practice the safe side.

With the risk of stating the obvious... you know that quite a number of members of the forum already use the existing notification bots.
So in many cases posting an invitation (of course, unless it's meant to be very private) directly in a post can already do the job with much less risks.
