Is this a well known Bitcoin-collectible newspaper? Not familiar with it, can you elaborate a little bit because I cannot read the date of release on the photo you posted. Thank you.
Did you intend for this raffel to have only 12 instead of the usual 16 slots (HEX)?
402  Economy / Collectibles / Re: SALE: LuckyFool Physical BTC release Series #2 / UPDATE on: July 08, 2023, 12:15:05 AM
Just jumping in real quick, recently got my hands on my purchased coins - these are great looking ones.
Especially the side with the hologram is of my taste. And the finish is almost mirror-ish.

For anyone looking for an affordable funded Bitcoin collectible: These coins are probably some of the most inexpensive ones out there and of great quality.
Get them now, not much you can do wrong for 30 bucks here.
Just noticed they are sold out but OP not updated yet!

Thank you for the detailed explanations.
That's exactly what I was hoping to hear regarding key generation and the key-prints.

10k sats is insanely low (just checked, $3 at the moment of writing if I got all the zeros right in my calculations) but it still is *some* reasonable value. And I exactly love the idea you also described: to stack them for 5 or better 10+ years because of this.
That's why good quality keys are even more important.

Please put me on the list for one roll/bag of 10 for now.
I am not US based, so would ask to ship to MJ - can I choose a state marking? Maybe of one of the US states I already visited on vacation that I loved. Or does it have to be MJs location's state?
404  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Upcoming Release Soon!!! on: July 07, 2023, 11:58:45 PM
Any estimate on what you want to charge for these?

I saw the pics first and thought "oh nice, some cute silver bars incoming".
Just now, a few hours later I took a closer look. ONE GRAM?!?! - Haha, that's just awesome, crazy and cute at the same time.
If affordable, please count me in for a bunch (bars and coins).

Will they get a running serial - any idea on what the mintage is gonna be?

Dragging up this thread. eth is discussing staking at 2048 coins not 32

https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/06/19/ethereum-developers-propose-raising-validator-limit-to-2048-ether-from-32-ether/


and that is why POS is piece of shit

the very idea they have the balls to talk about doing that shows how fucked up staking can be.
32 ETH was already quite the chunck - at the time much more than what was required to get into Bitcoin mining. This 64x proposal is just disgusting. Even the thought of it.
It clearly brings EXTREME centralisation issues, every staking node would cost millions. And only the really rich can get richer and more powerful. - The opposite of a true cryptocurrency.

Ethereum is clearly moving into a terrible direction. The POS experiment may be interesting, but I'm just glad it happened on another huge chain that's not Bitcoin.

I don't see why the number generated would be more likely to be cracked when the seed phrase has the same chance of being guessed.
Because the number is being generated by different processes using different entropy sources. If your entropy source is poor, then your number won't be completely random.

If I put the seed phrase in any other wallet, it will generate the exact same addresses in the same order with the same private keys.
This is a completely separate (and completely trivial) function to generating the seed phrase in the first place.

I don't understand why you are arguing about this, especially when it is clear you do not understand the basics. Javascript key generators are insecure. There are plenty of easy to use alternatives already suggested. Electrum, for example, is already bundled with Tails, so is trivial to use since you are planning to use Tails anyway. As I said above, you seem very keen to use an insecure javascript generator and there is nothing we can do to stop you, other than warn you of the risk.

That's interesting, so is this the issue with javascript based key generators: They use a library which does not generate sufficient entropy to have good enough randomness? Or are are there other concerns regarding JS?
Shouldn't there be a selection of RNGs available for javascript by now? Just wondering, seems a little odd to have such a massively used language without providing a secure RNG solution.

Nette Geschichte. Ich denke das ist hauptsächlich ein marketig gag.
Vom Prinzip her finde ich es aber gut. Da gibt es wohl eine ganze Menge Möglichkeiten, wie man die Abwärme bei großen Betrieben eventuell zurück in Energie verwandeln könnte. Natürlich ist die Frage wie groß der Wirkungsgrad hier ist, aber da gäbe es sicherlich Ansätze.

Bzgl. Mining in New York. Ich kenne mich da jetzt nicht speziell aus, würde mich aber wundern, wenn die besonder günstigen Strom haben. Allein deshalb schließe ich erstmal auf ein Unternehmen das eventuell Hobby mit Geschäft in geschickter Weise verbunden hat.

Pretty cool. Looks like fun and I like the idea of an affordable low denomination coin.
I probably wanna reserve one roll. Any estimate which mintage range you are aiming for?

And a follow up question, how are you handling priv-key generation and what material is used for printing and paper?

Wer sendet denn bitte sein gesamtes Vermögen zu so was?

https://t3n.de/news/krypto-scam-vermoegen-verloren-1561259/

Leider gibt es genug Menschen, die auf so einen Betrug reinfallen... Ansonsten gäbe es ja nicht so viele Betrüger.
Aus meinem Bekanntenkreis hat es auch jemanden erwischt.. Der Mann ist knapp 80 und wollte sein Vermögen für seine Kinder investieren/vermehren und ist dabei auf solche Betrüger reingefallen.
Erst wurden Gewinne vorgetäuscht und dann nach immer mehr Geld gefragt.. In dem Fall wurden Kontos geleert, Wohnwagen verkauft, die eigene Wohnung teilverkauft und am Ende sogar Identitätsdiebstahl...
Sensibilisiert eure Eltern, Großeltern, Bekannten, wenn ihr könnt. Diese Menschen sind nicht mit dem Internet aufgewachsen und sind teilweise darauf angewiesen, dass man Ihnen hilft bzw. sie vor so etwas schützt.
Diese Geschichten sind mehr als traurig.
Einerseits möchte man sich wundern, wie es jemand so lange unbeschadet durchs Leben geschafft hat, scheint es doch erstmal sehr naiv auf solche Dinge hereinzufallen. Aber ich denke es ist wichtig zu verstehen, dass die Dinge heutzutage einfach komplett anders laufen. Die digitalen Neuerungen sind für manche Leute einfach kaum verständlich, noch weniger all die Gefahren des Betrugs in diesem Bereich.

Kann mich Enoxe nur anschließen so gut es geht Freunde und Verwandte zu sensibilisieren, so dass sich diese im Zweifelsfall an jemanden wenden, der das Ganze richtig einordnen kann bevor große Geldsummen in irgendwelche verlokende Angebote gesteckt werden.

412  Local / Presse / Re: Buch: Ijoma Mangold - Die Orange Pille on: July 06, 2023, 12:31:17 PM
So, mal ein Update zum Buch von meiner Seite.

Hab mir die Audible Ausgabe geholt.
Bin jetzt gut 2 Stunden drin. Wird leider nicht von Ijoma Mangold selbst gelesen, finde den Sprecher aber sehr professionell und einfach zuzuhören. Nicht überragend aber neutral gut.

Inhaltlich eine echte Bitcoin-Literatur-Perle soweit. Also persönlich empfinde ich die Mischung als unterhaltsam, relateable (was ist das deutsche Wort dafür?) und inhaltlich fundiert - sehr gelungen.
IM hat dabei einen Witz und eine Selbstreflexion die man nicht so leicht anderweitig findet.
Natürlich für alteingesessene Crypto/Bitcoin Füchse ist wahrscheinlich erstmal nicht viel Neues dabei, aber dafür sehr viele Referenzen und Annekdoten die das BTC-Herz zum lachen bringen.

Ich würde, soweit ich das nach etwa 1/3 des Buches beurteilen kann, "Die Orange Pill" jederzeit an Freunde und Verwandte verschenken wenn ich bei ihnen auch nur den Ansatz von Interesse am Thema wahrnehme.
Könnte mir vorstellen, dass diese Pille tatsächlich als Einstiegsdroge für eine neue Generation an Krypto-Enthusiasten dienen kann (im deutschssprachigen Raum zumindest).

Werde sehen wie es weitergeht und ob ich mein doch etwas überschwängliches Lob auch nach vollständiger Lektüre (Audiotüre?) so stehen lassen kann.

Hi everyone,

there's rather serious issue with provided CryptoID links.

I browse this site mostly on the phone (Safari on iPhone) and when I first checked them, links above said the loading values are 0.001 btc for each chip and 0.003 btc for each ingot.
3 chips loaded with 0.003 just for 0.0033 seemed like an awesome bargain so I bid accordingly.

To my great surprise, when I checked the auction on my computer today, the CryptoID links now said 0.0005 for each chip and 0.0025 for each ingot.
I though maybe I remember it wrong, but it turns out the CryptoID site shows different values on the phone explorer and different on the desktop!!!
(I suppose it might be some poor attempt of unfortunate and totally unnecessary rounding)

See for yourself:

https://ibb.co/cXcmSDP
https://ibb.co/Ws0ycPk
https://ibb.co/Ltn5sxd
https://ibb.co/pLrDMP2

I apologize to everyone involved and with MJ approval I hereby withdraw my bids for lots #2 and 3 since their total loading value is actually half of what I saw on my phone (0.006 vs 0.003)...
Yes, after all this I finally noticed there is visible "500 bits" on the photos, but I honestly haven't noticed it before, that's a mistake on my part.
Just wanna jump in real quick, this is an issue I (and a few others) noticed a while ago when checking certain balances (maybe it was during the Yogg-thing). This rounding error can be quite confusing.
There is a way to verify via cryptoid on mobile, though. Just scroll down to the Hash of the transaction. Here the actual amount including all decimals will be displayed correctly.
