2. According to Wikipedia,  bitcoin.com was first registered in 2008 by Jesse Heitler
So, Hitler registered bitcoin.com before Satoshi announced bitcoin? Seems fishy.😂

1623  Other / Ivory Tower / Re: Dangers, exploit methods and countermeasures regarding Collisions!!! on: March 22, 2023, 05:46:37 PM
After some thinking, I have decided to publicly disclose any possible method/scenario which we could easily find hash collisions, however the 2 hash functions used in bitcoin act as firewalls to keep the public keys out of sight, though SHA-256 has more importance than RMD-160, As RMD-160 is used to reduce data storage costs, SHA-256 is used in mining operation and is also a critical component in web security and data integrity.

I would like to discuss about the possibilty of utilizing a custom made elliptic curve with a secret back door where it makes it possible for the designer to obtain any of the desired values from the curve, i.e. finding the private key of any given public key on demand.

In this scenario I would like to point to the obvious, according to the post above, we could use it as an algorithm to efficiently find collisions, albeit this efficiency is not taking secp256k1 in to account, but if we had a back doored elliptic curve, we could use the same method to collect as many collisions as we want.

Here is how it would work, imagine we hash a random string such as "09cfeaabc56772544daee0b346"  to get a 256 hash, and then converting that hash to an address just to use our back door and derive the private key for that address to see it's public key, since our made up EC has no public key like the random string above, we now know for sure that the hash 256 of our random string and our now accessible public key are colliding in SHA-256 algorithm.

Further more, since we have 2^96 spare/colliding private keys on secp256k1, we could devise an algorithm to generate a key collision on our back doored EC and use it on secp256k1 to control an address. This one requires advanced mathematical science and is extremely difficult, but the hash collision scenario does not require the same.

Cloud mining is usually scam unless they are manufacturer as well. If you had your coins stored on third party's wallet/service, then there is a chance they took your coins. Always learn how to secure your coins first and then go after mining or trading.
Providing more details is also required to conclude what really went down, sorry to hear that you lost money, hope you recover from it.

Hence the importance of distributing your coins across several addresses and discarding an address after the first transaction
Not reusing an address? Sure.
Discarding an address? Nope.

I still have copies of every private key for every address I've ever used, even ones which I used once years ago and have never and will never use again. Why discard them? The files/back ups already exist so it takes no effort on my part to keep them, and there is always the chance that I accidentally reuse an address or a third party accidentally pays me to an old address, at which point those coins would be lost forever had I discarded those keys.

In the words of Satoshi:
Sigh... why delete a wallet instead of moving it aside and keeping the old copy just in case?  You should never delete a wallet.
I didn't mean throwing them away, discarding an address after one transaction means never using that address again, especially for large amounts, actually reusing an address for small amounts is more convenient. Ordinary people have nothing to worry about. Using the term "discarding" was a bad choice of words.
1628  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is it possible to create ASIC customized bitcoin address generator? on: March 20, 2023, 01:07:45 PM
But if we somehow invent quantum ASIC, we may hack addresses.
Inventing a quantum computer to steal bitcoins?
Without knowing the public key is near impossible.
Having the public key, knowing the range, having a few million TB RAM, will cost millions to find. Hence the importance of distributing your coins across several addresses and discarding an address after the first transaction, addresses should be treated as dynamic pin numbers for credit cards, they are only valid for 2 minutes.

Let's pretend there was funds in the address in your example 1ArWUwF2WfPnDubReohn2vtPodfPpG5Evq ,  still they won't be able to move those funds since they don't know the private key of that address, the steps you provided is not enough to do that.
If you hash the public key of the address above, you will get [5], if you hash [6] you'd still get [5]. And I don't know how we could spend the funds if it was loaded, I'm not trying to find people's private keys, this is about hash collisions.


"avalanche effect"?
Not applicable to SHA-256, I just exercised the method to prove avalanche effect  is an illusion, Satoshi inadvertently created an algorithm that can be used to draw a map of all SHA-256 collisions, it's like a knife cutting it's own handle.
This is as far as I am willing to go on this matter, I have decided to stop working on it and will not publish further findings, telling people 5x5=25 makes it easy, but showing them "25" makes it hard for them to figure out the proper equation. I need to confuse the outsiders, while the insiders know what 5-5-2-5 means.

i haven't had time to go through all the replies here. But did anyone successfully find the collision?
No, we are just talking about how to easily find them, one way is brute force, other way is beyond my comprehension, you should read "vjudeu's posts to know what I mean.😉


Even if we find a collision, we must not publicly disclose it to the world, instead we should convince the world that the algorithm "is no longer secure".
If anyone is interested to further discussing the issue, come and visit my special penthouse at digaran's tower.

1632  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: using same address twice on: March 19, 2023, 10:01:24 PM
Having a low range private key could put your funds at risk after revealing the public key, however if your private key is in a high enough range (256 bit range) to this date and for the 10 coming years in the future, there is no danger whatsoever. Think of it this way, your unused address is like a buried treasure, when you use it and send back the change to the same address is like digging the treasure out taking some coins from it and burying it again, now if anyone passes through and sees the fresh soil, they could dig and find it, unless you bury it so deep that digging it out could take years and so much energy.

Above analogy is not completely relevant but it should give you an idea.

only lightning, only mixers, only a new address on every transaction. Cheesy Such sweet self-care bordering on paranoia. Smiley

Well since using lightning contradicts with privacy advices mentioned, means an obvious shill. Mixing as mentioned in OP, is good to hide campaign earnings, as advised in OP, but using change addresses is absolutely a brilliant financial security advice, don't mix them with other things, some people might be blinded by greed but they are not stupid.

just keep generate new random keys, no sequential
In VanBitCracken, use -r 400, it will generate thousands of new mini random ranges and searches them until 400 million searches are done and will again generate random keys, the cycle goes on for ever random.😉

Ok, let me get this straight, you guys are unhappy that a criminal was busted and you lost your few bucks of an income and now are trying to help future criminals on how to stay under the radar?
I mean who gives a fack about your identity if you are not Satoshi or a criminal/ financial terrorist/ scammer?
You know what got to me? Saying ""motivated by recent events" and a straight forward list of guidance to stay anonymous in order to conduct criminal activity and pay a few bucks to a few shills so that they could defend your nefarious shenanigans for years"".
And the fact that someone else posted: "well too late  Sad "
A sad fucking emoji, really? I guess we should keep our identities safe from criminals like you guys, because your behaviour is more scary than of that of black op unit members. What is wrong with you?

Because bitcoin is volatile and not store of value
Yeah, that's why you should buy more shitcoins they call stable coins. If you are so fond of them, I could give you some addresses and their keys, you could claim 2000 shitcoin usdt with each of them on uniswamp/centralized exchange. And then give half as bitcoin to me, deal?
1639  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is it possible to create ASIC customized bitcoin address generator? on: March 19, 2023, 04:23:00 PM
The answer is yes, but you probably want to consider existance multiple format of Bitcoin address and uncompressed keys on legacy address. Cost-wise, i expect buying few FPGA and hire FPGA programmer probably would be better choice. FPGA usage on cryptography field is somehow common. And it seems there are few relevant research about FPGA usage on ECDSA cryptography (which used by Bitcoin)[1-2].

1640  Economy / Services / Re: [WTB] Sell your EMPTY ETH Wallet! ($5-10/address) on: March 19, 2023, 12:41:27 PM
He just want to claim that free UniSwap tokens for you ... sell him your wallet used for uniswap trading and he will claim free 400 uniswap tokens ... It's that simple.
How much do they pay for those garbage tokens these days?

Today 5$ for one token.  There was a moment in history they were priced 40$ each.

Still claiming 400 tokens x 5$ ... you get 2000$... If he buy a wallet even for 500$ its still great business.


Are you telling me that I can claim 400 tokens worth $5 each with those addresses I posted? Where can I claim them?

Edit, I have no idea how to connect wallet to uniswap, and these shit coins confuse me a lot, if anyone is interested, I could accept the use of escrow, you just pay 70% of the airdrop value to the escrow and I will give the keys to the escrow and I will take the money from him after you are done claiming.

However here is the question, how are you going to claim anything if the keys are already exposed and scammers are  collecting whatever shitcoin going there in less than a second. Yeah I never use eth bnb and other total shitcoins, those are scam addresses, well most of them, some of them I found by collision attack.

Check which one doesn't have a in and out tx with a second interval, that's actually not a scam wallet, if the wallet is empty but you could still claim the 2 bounties posted on uniswap site, then please tell me so I can claim them and convert them to eth, bnb and let them be there for the owner before the pot of bounties is empty.
