2141  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Microstrategy owner (michael saylor) holds huge amount in bitcoin on: January 06, 2023, 02:55:00 PM
Bitcoin is the only decentralized currency in the world that can not be censored or sanctioned. You don't need a middleman to send, receive or hold bitcoin which means no one's hand is in your pocket when you use bitcoin but your own! It has a limited supply so we can say that bitcoin is the only existing money in the world too (everything else we have like dollar is currency not money).
This right here shows you how ill informed you are about crypto especially bitcoin, maybe you should look up the exact definition of currency and money, while both mean tangible no longer apply to the modern digital world, yet the terms are still applicable. Stop being delusional and face the reality, we all know 7 or even 7000 tx/s is no where close to an efficient monetary system.

On topic however, if someone does something, doesn't mean we should do it too. people are spending billions of $ on centralised stable/shittokens, we might think if thousands of people are using them then we should as well. One fact everyone tend to ignore or rather forget is the fact that at any given point in time, the whole crypto market could go to zero value in seconds, all we need is a new law, banning all crypto related trades, what would you do then? Trade with cash you might suggest, it'd be informational to know that cash is going to be nonexistent soon. So good luck keeping coins hoping to become the billionaires of the future.🤣

I didn't code it, AI did
Lol. Why don't you ask it what's wrong then?  Tongue

This AI I'm asking to code for me is driving me crazy, it writes half completed codes mostly.
If you don't know how to code, then using an AI isn't recommended (yet). At the moment, it can greatly assist you learn programming, but it can't write exactly what you tell it to do; part of the problem, in this case, is that you don't know either what you want to do. Let alone the AI.
I guess my problem is with math and cryptography, also I'd mistakenly changed the target public address with public key, lol. But at the end I was able to generate keys, not the ones I intended though. To be honest for someone trying to dive into py or complicated coding I managed to learn a lot about coding, which is that I know zero about coding, I had a few classes for web designing, after the third class I dropped out, firstly because I couldn't sit long due to discectomy surgery I had, secondly I found out I wasn't that much interested to learn web design using html, css, java.

But I always wanted to learn how to code something to do exactly what I'd intended, who knows maybe this topic about the puzzle sparked a desire and fueled a long lost motivation to start doing what I really love to do, that's why I'm here after all, to learn from the best.

Oh hello there Vitalik, why ETH wallets are this shitty I can't even verify a signed message with them, The metamask joke of a wallet has no sign or verify tools. Only way to sign was by using an online wallet.
I'm not Vitalik, but I recommend you mycrypto wallet
https://mycrypto.com
Metamask was designed for other purposes and is a very good wallet for DeFi applications. Ethereum has not made official wallets for a long time. Wallets are developed by separate teams for decentralization, but wallets are compatible for fast data transfer.
Also myetherwallet will help you
https://www.myetherwallet.com/
These are 2 very old and reliable wallets.

MEW just verifies that the address really did sign but doesn't decode the message, mycrypto returned an invalid message error.

This should not be hard at all for people, using bitcoin wallets would take a few seconds, I'm trying to decode this message since yesterday to no avail.


Code:
{
  "address": "0xcfcb12d849569a3d1cf971721665b2dce0279a91",
  "msg": "0x4469672066726f6d20626974636f696e74616c6b2c206e6f7420746865206f776e65722c206a75737420666f756e64206974206f6e207468652077656220616e642077696c6c206e6576657220746f7563682074686573652073686974746f6b656e73206f7220616e7920636f696e2f746f6b656e20746861742773206e6f74206d696e652e",

  "version": "3",
  "signer": "MEW"
}


I was able to decode it using the following script
Code:
import codecs

def decode_hex(hex_string):
    return codecs.decode(hex_string, 'hex').decode('utf-8')

hex_string = "0x4469672066726f6d20626974636f696e74616c6b2c206e6f7420746865206f776e65722c206a75737420666f756e64206974206f6e207468652077656220616e642077696c6c206e6576657220746f7563682074686573652073686974746f6b656e73206f7220616e7920636f696e2f746f6b656e20746861742773206e6f74206d696e652e"
decoded_message = decode_hex(hex_string)
print(decoded_message)

Hi nerds 🤣 I have a question, I just started to code this morning, could anyone give me advice and tell me what I am doing wrong here? Thank you.

You're trying to program a robot to solve something that humans haven't solved first.

Also, the output from OpenAI Codex is very inaccurate, and is wrong about 50% of the time for specialized functions. ChatGPT is much better but it can still introduce "variable not declared" errors.
Actually I'm using chatGPT, it is playing dumb when it comes to bitcoin pkey security, well I just wanted to play around with it and try some ideas, thanks for indulging me.

Hi nerds 🤣
That isn't a kind start, is it? Don't be YouTubeTongue

I just started to code this morning, could anyone give me advice and tell me what I am doing wrong here?
Did you code all that or did you... you know just grabbed it from some git something. If you coded, then asking for help isn't the right place (and maybe no place is right other than your desk). If someone else did, could you provide a link? There has to be a brief explanation of this script.

Code:
# Target public key to find a match for
target_public_key = "13zb1hQbWVsc2S7ZTZnP2G4undNNpdh5so"
That doesn't seem right. That variable must expect a public key, not an address.
Oh hello there beauty, I didn't code it, AI did, I'm trying to understand the backbone of private key generation.

This AI I'm asking to code for me is driving me crazy, it writes half completed codes mostly.

2148  Other / Meta / Re: This forum will need explicit rules on the use of AI. on: January 05, 2023, 04:43:06 PM
The use of AI to generate material for forums is highly questionable and unethical. Instead of putting in the necessary effort and creativity, some people rely on artificial intelligence to do the work for them, resulting in a lack of originality and authenticity.

This is not only lazy and unoriginal, but it also constitutes stealing someone else's ideas or work and passing it off as your own. This is a serious breach of ethics and integrity that should not be condoned or encouraged in any way. Furthermore, using AI to generate material can be misleading and confusing for readers. It is essential for forum participants to know the source and authenticity of the information they are consuming, and AI-generated material does not provide this transparency.

As an AI hater, I strongly discourage the use of artificial intelligence to generate material for forums. It undermines the integrity of the forum and the value of original, authentic material. We should prioritize originality and effort in our online communication and not rely on shortcuts such as AI-generated material.

😅🤣

Hello, i encountered a strange adress,

1Mnpxvyy81ZmmUABJkbbo9auoBJwtbvJBo

This one i mean, when i use google search it pop outs couple leaked and drained wallets, but on this one exactly, there are no transactions, no deposits, i mean fresh out of the core idk, what could be the reason? Almost forgot to mention, that when i paste into the blockchain it shows different adress sometimes shows trx hash, im curious how come.
Show us some reference, post a link or screenshots,  I got no error, it has zero balance.
Maybe you are from a different universe to get a google hit for this address.

Honestly last night I found 2 addresses each containing +400$, didn't touch them, also not going to say which coin.

This is hard to believe, can you sign a message with both addys to prove the veracity of your story?

The odds of finding one are really low and you say you found 2, easy $800 in 1 day. Sorry but for me, this is really hard to believe, and I'm sure no one else will find an address there with a balance in the next 10 years.

I don't want to take the coins, just sign a transaction with the address Wink and it would be nice if you can make a small transaction to let the owner know how his address are now compromised.
Don't know how to sign a message with that coin, it's most used and trusted wallet banned my country, connecting with my mobile could trigger a fund freeze. And if you search the address online google will take you to a site where you could find keys for that specific blockchain.

Btw, both addresses have the same amount of tokens worth more than $900, and they have no or very small gas or is it gwei? I don't know and don't care what they call it, lol.

Well after a few hours searching found more shitcoins, don't know if this sig counts or not.

Following addy has thousands of $ worth in shitcoins, I have seen so many dead tokens in the past few days that I feel saturated, lol.

Your first mistake: you posted a self moderated thread, people tend to stay away from such threads.
Your second mistake, you posted this on a wrong board, off topic board is mostly for account farmers.
Your third and last mistake was considering to invest, what would you do if they had legit looking team members and ETH withdrawal option? Probably posting to cry about the scam instead of this post.🤣

All of these are grave concerns.
Theymos even gone so far as to commit major crimes like laundering nearly $500 million dollars.

When the FBI becomes involved, I believe it is best if theymos roll down that fucking mountain and start talking until he can.

A single message from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York would be enough to seize bitcointalk.org.

Think about that for a moment.
Do you have any evidence supporting your claims? Those are some bold accusations. On topic: use a vps to post on this forum if you are that much concerned, that would
save forum's money.

Ps, interesting choice of name though.
