We are being ruled by CF
Bitcointalk needs a .onion site for Tor users, one that works without Cloudflare.

Use Ctrl+Shift+L to get a New Tor circuit for this site.
On many websites, that doesn't help anymore. Cloudflare just blocks all Tor users.
3702  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How is sending bitcoin through a QR-code safe ? on: July 17, 2023, 06:43:39 AM
I know you can personalize a QR-code so that people scan it and go to a website for example (I've already done this by modifying the colors, adding a logo etc), can you do the same with a bitcoin address (I assume so?) and which site do you recommend to do it safely?
I wouldn't recommend any website. I've used command line qrencode (a standard package easily installed on Linux).
Adding a logo is basically abusing the QR-code's built-in error correction: set is as high as possible, and test if the QR-code still works after you cover part of it with a logo.

Those 2 statements are not compatible at all:
Obviously I want to appeal to as wide an audience as possible
That's why I decided to hang my chanel around the offgrid camper theme, with special emphasis on the advantages of being over 80.
Let's get the data:
An estimated 150,000 people already live off-grid in the UK and the number is believed to be rising steeply.
That's 0.25% of the population. Even less of them will be living in campers.
The population above 80 years is about 5%. The percentage of people that own Bitcoin isn't that large either. That makes your target audience a niche within a niche within a niche (although I realize some of the niches can overlap).

If you want to appeal to a wide audience, you'll have to make it interesting to watch even for the people who will never do it by themselves. Many people seem to be interested in off-grid life:
3 days solo survival: 28 million views.
Winter survival shelter: 23 million views.
Building off grid cabin in the woods: 24 million views.
Most people will never do it, but it's nice to watch for people stuck in city life. Like me.
3704  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Securing Your Seed Phrase with Washers on: July 16, 2023, 01:55:16 PM
A few years ago he buried a copy of his backup, using 40 USD worth of material from the hardware store, to build a case to hold his seed phrase.
Now I'm curious how it will look like after 10,000 years, when archaeologists dig up someone's old Bitcoin seed phrase (by then worth a mansion on another planet). I expect the plastic to become brittle within a few centuries, and eventually start falling apart. The stainless steel might last longer.

You can still draw an analog map like the old pirates did. Treasure maps are fun! Geo cache, anyone? (The last: I'm obviously joking, but hey...)
The problem is, I live in the Netherlands. Every square cm is cultivated.

LoyceV I've a question how does a person knows if a character he found is correct? Like that guy claims there's 3 in the middle how do you validate that from your side?
You can't verify just one character of a private key. So it's BS.

Given that all those private keys were generated by the same person/people, there is a slight possibility that a pattern of some sort does exist tho that's pretty unlikely, given that someone has already managed to break #125 it means one of two things:

1- Somebody managed to find a pattern somewhere that reduces the search range by A LOT.
2- A large corporation invested some serious money in a few thousand GPUs and people like OP stand no chance of finding those keys first.
Or 3: whoever created the puzzle moved #125 on their own.

Quote
Also, I am not sure why OP wants to use an ASIC miner to brute force a private key, it makes no sense. Huh
Exactly. Back to "it's BS" Smiley

How did the scrapping work last week when Cloudflare was acting up
Scraping didn't work.

Quote
It wasn't DDOS-ing but still a Cloudflare issue.
Cloudflare does that because of a DDOS.

My bot was down for almost 2 full days (until theymos apparently whitelisted our IPs so we could bypass it).
I figured I'd ask theymos. His previous whitelist attempt (last December) didn't work, and now he fixed it Smiley
3707  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Remove Proxyban (evil fees) - email to get whitelisted for free on: July 16, 2023, 06:44:55 AM
Done, I wish them success
Thanks, I didn't see this until now.



I just caught up with my email backlog, and the ones I wanted to whitelist were either whitelisted already, or they gave me an Bitcointalk username that doesn't exist. As a reminder: I only respond to users who get whitelisted, so I won't follow up to ask for the obvious.
3708  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [ANN] KRAKEN.COM - Exchange with USD EUR GBP JPY CAD BTC LTC XRP NMC XDG STR ETH on: July 16, 2023, 06:21:38 AM
Kraken removed the cheap SEPA withdrawal option, and added 2 new ones.

Old: €0.09 per withdrawal.
New: €0.90 or €1.00 per withdrawal.

The fee is now similar to the other exchange I use, but a 1000% increase is just excessive.

I found the 2 initials characters that will reduce dificulty to 256/64
This is utter bullshit.

I see this as just a more inventive attempt to scam.
That's very obvious indeed.

Changing password and email occasionally has always been a good security practice what changed now?
People realized it was stupid in the first place Wink

Read the NCSC:
Regular password expiry is a common requirement in many security policies. However, in the Password Guidance published in 2015, we explicitly advised against it. This article explains why we made this (for many) unexpected recommendation, and why we think it’s the right way forward.

Let’s consider how we might limit the harm that comes from an attacker who knows a user’s password. The obvious answer is to make the compromised password useless by forcing the legitimate user to replace it with a new one that the attacker doesn’t know. This advice seems straightforward enough.

The problem is that this doesn’t take into account the inconvenience to users - the ‘usability costs’ - of forcing users to frequently change their passwords. The majority of password policies force us to use passwords that we find hard to remember. Our passwords have to be as long as possible and as ‘random’ as possible. And while we can manage this for a handful of passwords, we can’t do this for the dozens of passwords we now use in our online lives.

To make matters worse, most password policies insist that we have to keep changing them. And when forced to change one, the chances are that the new password will be similar to the old one.

Attackers can exploit this weakness.

The new password may have been used elsewhere, and attackers can exploit this too. The new password is also more likely to be written down, which represents another vulnerability. New passwords are also more likely to be forgotten, and this carries the productivity costs of users being locked out of their accounts, and service desks having to reset passwords.

It’s one of those counter-intuitive security scenarios; the more often users are forced to change passwords, the greater the overall vulnerability to attack. What appeared to be a perfectly sensible, long-established piece of advice doesn’t, it turns out, stand up to a rigorous, whole-system analysis.

The NCSC now recommend organisations do not force regular password expiry. We believe this reduces the vulnerabilities associated with regularly expiring passwords (described above) while doing little to increase the risk of long-term password exploitation. Attackers can often work out the new password, if they have the old one. And users, forced to change another password, will often choose a ‘weaker’ one that they won’t forget.

Or PCMag: Stop Changing Your (Strong, Unique) Passwords So Much.

I checked my seclog log: there is no password change in there for theymos.

What about a notification on trust page once user login recently using different country IP address?
You'd see that notification on me. It wouldn't mean anything. Besides, an attacker could easily avoid it by using a VPN based on local boards used by the user.
If you're worried about it, you can make myips.php the default page when you open a new tab.
3712  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Missing Transfer on: July 15, 2023, 02:21:48 PM
You can use https://mempool.space to set the fee rate (sat/vbytes) to be used.
It shows transactions with less than 3.85 sat/vbyte in fees are rejected. That's why OP's transaction can't exist in the mempool.
The purge-limit is much higher than I expected, considering that 6 sat/vbyte is currently enough for a fast confirmation.
3713  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Trying to understand double spending after 1 confirmation. on: July 15, 2023, 02:17:59 PM
Anything above 6 confirmations doesn't require 51% of the hashrate either. Even with, say, 30% of the hashrate, you still have a 4.2% chance of reversing 10 confirmations and a 0.2% chance of reversing 20 confirmations.
I tried, but got different numbers. How did you calculate this?

Either way, it's very costly. You'd risk losing 6 blocks (of 6.25 Bitcoin block reward plus transaction fees each) for a 4% chance of reversing a transaction. That means it costs tens of millions of dollars on average to pull this off.

You might also be interested to read this post, which describes how a miner can double spend a transaction with one confirmation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=36788.msg463391#msg463391.
The caveat being that the amount that you're depositing has to be more than your block reward at least for the attack to the worthwhile.
It's nice to read how simple things in 2011 were: I assume the guy was talking about a very large deposit (in Bitcoin), followed by a very quick withdrawal (after 1 confirmation). Nowadays, nobody in their right mind accepts such a deposit right after 1 confirmation.

Eventually, I succeed in creating a valid block.  I do not broadcast it immediately, but instead I wait until someone else mines a block
Vector76 didn't even mention the loss of a block (back then worth about $500) if his plan failed and his block become orphaned.
Nowadays this means you're gambling with a $200,000 block reward.
3714  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How is sending bitcoin through a QR-code safe ? on: July 15, 2023, 01:51:33 PM
With QR-codes, there's a much simpler attack vector than changing the QR-code: the malware will be in the software used to create or read the code.
Both malicious QR code generators and readers exist.
3715  Other / Meta / Re: Is there an API on bitcointalk? on: July 15, 2023, 01:30:23 PM
you are like other members and don't have special access to the forum?
Correct.

Quote
Can you tell me what mechanism you use? I'm honestly curious how it could work
I just use some scripting.

Quote
Can you reference the website to study this?
There's Wget - GNU Project, but that won't help you much. As a Linux user, you can do many things once you learn how to use the command line. But anything else that works for you will do, downloading from the internet is no rocket science.



I have to ask: what are you trying to accomplish?
3716  Other / Meta / Re: Is there an API on bitcointalk? on: July 15, 2023, 12:31:29 PM
LoyceV's answer was that he uses wget to get data from website.
That's the answer to "how", not to "where". There are many more command line tools for downloading, but wget is the easiest.

I have an optimized vanity algorithm that requires 1BTC worth of hardware to have the odds to find the HEX within 6 months
Enlighten me: what hardware are you planning to buy, how many keys/second will this get you, and how many possible keys are there to check. Unless proven otherwise, I think you're full of shit.
3718  Other / Meta / Re: Is there an API on bitcointalk? on: July 15, 2023, 11:44:47 AM
Where does the data owned by DdmrDdmr, LoyceV, and ninjastic.space come from?
Depending on what data I need, I use Patrol, Recent, data dumps or some of the "normal" pages on the forum (such as the Merit page, user profile or just pages in a topic).

Quote
Is there an API from bitcointalk?
No.

it requires some kind of approval from the forum administrator (some sort of IP whitelisting) in order to grant their tool access to the data they seek.
That's not true. Anyone can scrape the forum, as long as they keep it under 1 request per second. The IP whitelisting is only needed when Cloudflare becomes very active against DDOS.

3719  Economy / Reputation / Re: Ratimov - prove yourserlf at least the plagiarism accusation on: July 15, 2023, 08:52:42 AM
Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like you're the one out of line for attacking him as a "merit whore", and while he should of just ignored you, how about just cool it both of you?  This whole thing is stupid.
Agreed. And the foul language makes it harder to take this topic seriously.

Ratimov's "plagiarism" topics have been discussed before, and I've expressed my opinion there: he could definitely improve on the way he quotes references to make it more obvious it's taken from somewhere else. But plagiarism is handled by the Mods, and if Mods think his posts are allowed, why should users fight over it?
3720  Other / Meta / Re: Spam Neon Link on: July 15, 2023, 08:46:38 AM
Maybe there's more.
I've added it to my keyword spam finder. See loyce.club/badposts/spam.html: in the past 6 weeks, it has been posted 200 times. I'll leave it to you to report the posts (when appropriate) Smiley

I also think that  the accounts are own by the same person or managed by people of the same group looking for users to that project.
There have been "projects" that require people to spam the name on Bitcointalk. It's kinda ironic: Bitcointalk allows bounty spammers to get paid for spamming millions of posts on social media, and once in a while someone does it here with much lower numbers.
