For example, using USB storage to transfer unsigned and signed transaction could be exploited by specifically designed malware.
Everything looks more than sloppy for a Bitcoin Developer. Surreal. Hot wallet is possible, but a dev's cold wallet... hmm... While Peter Todd has confirmed the story, also on Twitter, I find it incredible and I still tend to think that's higher chance both Twitter accounts (Luke-Jr and Peter Todd) are compromised than all this story (including Luke calling on Twitter for FBI, come on...). Even more, no sign of this story on his Mastodon/BitcoinHackers account. |

1. I recommend you consider buying/using a hardware wallet, it's more newbie friendly and you may make less mistakes than with a cold storage. 2. No matter what storage you use (cold storage of HW), consider recovering from seed after the initial setup so you are sure the backup seed you will store (safely, offline, multiple copies) is the correct one. 3. I recommend you withdraw first a smaller amount to verify the process goes on as it should, then the rest, even if this means doubling the withdrawal fee. For 3 BTC no safety measure is too small. Also the recommendation you've already got to ignore private messages and invitations to Telegram, Discord or whatever is a very good one. 1- If I were to transfer my BTC from a cold wallet to a hot wallet would this weaken the security of the cold wallet or increase my chances of being hacked?
It depends how badly you do it. Keep in mind that cold storage is meant to always stay offline, no matter what. Do you know how to use cold storage to sign a transaction without transforming it in hot wallet? I hope you do. |

Incredibil  In afara de faptul ca a fost pe bune concursul, mai gasesc altceva incredibil: nu stiu daca ai sesizat (sau o fi oare doar o parere a mea?!) dar, parca la majoritatea concursurilor acestora din sectiunea de Collectibles, castiga mai merei "cei cu state vechi" acolo. Vezi si cazul de fata. Sau, daca nu e MJ, e Mopar; daca nu e Mopar, e cyg; daca nu e acesta, e krogo. Si tot asa. Nu stiu cum de reusesc, dar parca mereu ghicesc blocul corect  Zici ca il vad intr-un glob de cristal. Mda, am vazut si eu chestia asta la unele concursuri; dar aici nu stiu daca a fost aceeasi situatie, ca au fost mult mai multe premii decat concurenti inscrisi. Dar na, nimic nu e imposibil... Revenind, astazi te simti in stare pentru predictie? Azi am planuri sa lucrez un pic la un proiect de-al meu, asa ca probabil ca voi fi apt, deci da. Si, nu in ultimul rand, felicitari pentru locul 3 obtinut la unul dintre concursurile organizate de 1miau! Hehe, multumesc! Pana miercuri-joi inca speram sa prind locul 1 si portmoneul hardware de la Betnomi, dar nu ma plang, nici premiul 3 nu e rau deloc! |

Excuse me, who is Luke Dash Jr.? Is he one of forum moderators?
I know that he's one of the known Bitcoin Core devs and I know that he's on other projects too and since his PGP key has to be considered compromised, people should be very careful. About what's his role on this forum... this is his account, I don't know if he's mod on the forum. And while OP may be wrong on the mod part, the rest is quite concerning (for both sloppiness and the actual fact he got hacked). |

According to Peter Todd it's not a Twitter hack and it's for real https://mobile.twitter.com/peterktodd/status/1609655629903265795Although I fail to understand that * everything is lost, even cold storage (come on...) * he was asking FBI for help FYI I've confirmed that this is real and not a Twitter hack via a mutual friend.
IIUC he used Gentoo as his desktop and didn't keep different activities separated. So backdoored software is one of many ways this could happen; he may not have been targeted.
Use @QubesOS
people.

SO - Neurotic.....i went into 'view' and what comes up is a LOAD of 'receiving' ( green colour ) and a few 'yellow' colours. What the...is that!!!!!
SO... TOTALLY CONFUSED.
What are they? i am now worried...i give the dodgy casino a address..which is useless so even if they were geninue...id still not get the monies!!
- HERES what i was going to do. Please just tell me, its right.
- I have ( already ) pressed, Receive ( following on from previous instructions from previous email ) , and an addreess comes up, as mentioned 7days...thanks for explaining that....i didnt put the amount in. That ok>? SO....i will take this address and give it too casino site ( which as mentioned i tried..and works...in that seems ok...but havent pressed the actual withdraw button ).
THATS IT. yes? Ignore all those green and yellows addresses! in the View TAB.
All those addresses are yours, don't worry. Get the first green one and you're OK. Or get the one from the Receive tab and you're most probably OK with that too (that address too is most probably in that big list) |
|

I have just followed these instructions...easy enough..thanks..BUT....now what? you left off...where does the address i need come up...im just left with an open wallet? DO I NOW GO TO 'RECEIVE' AND in this wallet ( i click recreate request? theres an amouint there...but ignoring that...? do i just generate that address then? and then copy and paste it? DO I NEED TO add amount AND WHAT ABOUT EXPIRES? whats all that about?
( sigh! ) So- expires..shall i have it a week? does it matter...say..the casino takes a week to send me the money....what happens? what about keeping it so it never expires?
Note, i was going to try to withdraw one amount and if that works i would download a final amount..only few hundred as i say...but ..that ok? i take it..need another line of address for that? ( but would setup a 'new wallet' using same idea - that 'seed' you mentioned..ok to use that again? walk before run here...just get 1 withdraw done.... SO, expires? will i LOSE ANY BITS if it expires? or once in my wallet its there for good?
Easier: Do View->Show Addresses Go to Addresses tab Copy (CTRL-C) the first address from there and you're good. (it starts with 1, right?) PS. In the "receive" area it's not the address that's expiring, it's the "request", and that doesn't matter much. However, working with the addresses tab can be easier for your peace of mind. |

a delagated proof of work Delegating to others means trusting them. Why would one miner or pool trust another miner or pool?! They're fiercely competing each other! Any miner would love to get an edge, even by not playing fair, in order to win the next block. Bitcoin is not meant to need trust in somebody else. That's why it still works. Maybe I'm missing something, but this looks to me more about not taking into account the human factor (and the high chance some would try to cheat), than about cryptography. |

Is bitcoin getting back to $20000 in January or not?
While it is possible to get over 20k, it's hard to tell whether it will actually happen. But if we do the math, getting there would be 25% up, if also take into the account the current sentiment, with topics telling with charts and numbers that going down to 9k is also possible, ... I add them up and I would be happy even if we end January at over 18k  or at least without going lower than 16k. |

I've tried to re-formulate one of your questions when this was in same guy's topic in Service Announcements. His answer was weak, plus he started threatening that he'll lock the topic, so I didn't pay more attention to that topic. I see now that he has more topics on his service and still trying to avoid some questions. On this problem you're right (to pursue the truth) and his behavior is shady. It's obvious to me that this member has before been registered in bitcointalk forum, maybe with some other failed or scam project.
It can very well be the case. I've seen another user too doing this type of service and spawning new topic one after another as soon as the questions have become difficult. --- Thanks for bringing this back into attention. I've also edited my initial post there (I usually try to be nice/supportive for new businesses and this one is yet another one not deserving it). |

Everything else is subjective reflections This is the point you're completely right and you should never forget that. Whatever people may be telling, subjectivism is an important factor. While it's hard fact that you were not proven as plagiarist (else your account would be gone), the people did make their own opinion on that matter (whether that's correct and reflecting reality or not, that's another matter). So, no offense, but imho it won't help anyone to make a big deal of it, since, whether you like or not, in many cases it won't be easy to change that subjective bit. I may be wrong, but I think that this matter is best to remain buried in the past. However, this is imho off topic and I would appreciate to not continue a/the dispute in here, since the idea of the topic was in Christmas spirit. |

La multi ani! Fie ca noul an sa va aduca tuturor sanatate, fericire si cat mai multe dorinte implinite!
Mai stiti discutia asta... Na, concursul a fost pe bune. MJ chiar a castigat. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5427560.msg61511231#msg61511231Hai ca a fost sparta gheata Apropo, ce nu inteleg este cum de a scos blocul ala de pe blockchair? Si de ce apare pe blockchair ce acela e ultimul din an si este si deja extras...? Ma refer la 721.527... nu inteleg. Fiindca cineva a scris undeva 2022 in loc de 2023. Era bloc din trecut  Si exact fiindca la ora asta (sau azi) sunt sanse mari sa fac greseli de calcul, o sa o las pentru o "zi lucratoare" cu alesul blocului buclucas (sau norocos).

Happy New Year, gang! May this new year make your wishes come true!
I've read about the couch, I didn't get to say a word on it yet though... Congratulations, Gazeta! May this couch last at least as long as you like it! Felicitari si sa te tina cat mai mult!It looks impressively versatile, although I prefer the "taller" couches, where I don't need extra pillows at my back. I guess that this was the very last step of the renovation, so congratulations for that too!
how Romanians celebrated the end of the world (for those unaware yet, world has ended on December 12th, 2012) (Again, NeuroticFish may (or may not) confirm all these ) Um, I remember I've seen this or that back then on the topic, but in my head it never went past the meme stage... Hence I cannot really confirm much... You may want to come with Romanian (and balcanic, at least) customs of blowing up our fingers and eyes at New Year's too, if we are on the stage of barbaric customs

Inspired from NeuroticFish I am going to wipe my ignore list. Well the following was my ignore list LOL
Nice, although you had an oddly small list And Ratimov, although I know his pasts, does have useful posts and topics imho, so unignoring him should be a plus. Thank you OP for giving us all the idea of a Christmas clean up of our ignore lists I'm really glad that my idea was not that bad and helped others too Happy New Year! |

Nu se mai respecta anonimitatea.
Majoritatea ATM-urilor au recunoastere facial, iar din cand in cand (cel putin shitcoins) cer verificarea buletinului, apoi cu ajutorul tehnologiei de recunoastere faciala..... va dati seama singuri
Inca cel putin pentru o vreme nu este deloc ciudat sa porti masca medicinala pe fata. Poate fi pentru COVID si alti virusi, poate fi pentru intimitate. Si din cate stiu si eu, buletinul se cerea doar la sume mari. Poate ne dai mai multe detalii de cazul/cazurile cand ti s-a cerut buletinul? |

Tables were always a "troubled" topic here. And, as I also answered in the contest's topic too, the easiest approach/fix is to make a first row of underscores in order to offer enough spacing. Now I'll write here the code too (I've also fixed some extra table tags which seemed to be there by mistake) : [color=orange][b][size=16pt]Contestants Gallery of XMAS Decoration Lealana Contest 1[/size][/b][/color]

Pe al tau il vazusem, dar nu vreau sa sparg eu gheata, mai astept.
In schimb pe al lui MJ l-as fi ratat cu siguranta. Nu stiu cum de nu l-am vazut, ca in ultimele 3 zile am avut mult timp liber si deci am stat si pe forum ceva mai mult.
Multumesc!
Bafta la toata lumea!
