Rather $54,000.

I question “the most prominent block chain analytics provider”. There's no evidence this person mined 1.1 million BTC, only assumptions based on pure speculation.

We had a recent discussion about this topic: Is it possible, that Satoshi used precalculated addresses and not random addr.

If Satoshi will remain a mystery? It's obvious they won't show up ever. As for the holdings, the fact that they haven't moved so far shows me that the majority of those won't either.

The seed is definitely incorrect unless you don't count a checksum. Otherwise, twelve laptops would give you the following:

0111110100001111101000011111010000111110100001111101000011111010000111110100001 11110100001111101000011111010000111110100001111101000

The green part is false, because, the first four bits of the hash of the blue bits is 0010, not 1000. A valid seed phrase would be:

Where does that Electrum tell you? I just tried to import it using BIP39 and it worked fine without any debug log messages.

It shouldn't return you xpub keys, but rather zpub as you're deriving from m/84 which gives SegWit Native, not Legacy.

Which exactly derivation path do you use? Is it m/84'/0'/0'? Again, have you confirmed it on iancoleman? What does it return you? If you don't feel comfortable of doing it on your browser, download the source files and open up them on an airgap machine.

How did you create your personal wallet? Just generate another wallet that way and post the seed, the expected zpub and the resulted zpub. I just want to understand the exact procedure.

I confess that the above responses haven't convinced me for the reason of this flaunting. They're like — Irreversibility is better because of <whatever>.

But, the merchants should do what's better for the client. Especially, if it's a recently-made business that exists exclusively in the internet. I can't trust them my money if I don't have another trusted third party.

I understand you like this liberty that is offered to the seller, I can concede it from the way you've formulated your opinion. However, I'd like to respond to this:

There's a strange thing with people who support this innovative, anarchic technology:  Instead of trying to give a solution, that will, if not completely solve the problem, balance the final result, they want to eliminate it completely. For instance, there's a problem with appeals which can happen even if the service is legitimate. How about making the transactions without trust? This way, the sellers won't suffer from this social engineering aspect.

Yes, but as you can see there are other problems created on the opposite end of the spectrum.

The reversal doesn't just happen with the clicking of a button. The procedure is durative as you'll have to provide evidence you've got victim of a fraud.

How's that? You mean the customers?

Irreversible like Bitcoin? They don't. You mean reversible like PayPal?

Isn't PayPal responsible for this?

NBitcoin gives a BIP39 mnemonic, while Electrum has its own standard. You should import it as a BIP39 seed, it's a checkbox that must be ticked during importation. If you knew this, then something else goes wrong.

Have you tried it on iancoleman to see if it's fine there? Also, could you give us a master public key generated using NBitcoin and the expected address of m/84'/0'/0'/0/0 ?

And if you're a fraud, it's yours. Not mine. That's what I'm saying.

Maybe a dumb question, but why should I display irreversibility as an advantage? I recently made a transaction using bitcoin and waited for long time to receive what I purchased. So long that I thought I got scammed.

How can I, as a customer, be protected my malicious sellers? I can't really use an escrow service every time, I need to ensure the seller will be discouraged to steal my money with a smarter, cheaper and more comfortable way. For instance, PayPal transactions are reversible within a time frame of 6 months. I could address them.

How can the police confirm I've got scammed and not lied? It's definitely harder than with cash if the seller knows how things work.

I'm talking about coolcoinz, not you.

Genesis block's reward isn't included in the circulating supply. It's block number 0, which takes place in no halving epoch. Counting starts from block 1.

And those abandoned coins will inflate the currency if they suddenly appear into the market. Similarly with gold, there's obviously a specific supply within this universe, but a minority of the ounces are in the market.

It's not impossible, but I consider it highly improbable for hundreds of thousands.

So?

About 244,000 metric tons of gold have been discovered as of 2021 and around 10% of that is owned by the governments of US, Germany, Italy, France, Russia, China, Switzerland and Japan. NASA's telescope captured a rare medal asteroid whose gold if brought down to Earth, would make the ounce's worth much much less.

So is the circulation ~244,000 metric tons of gold? No, but much more than that. Is it realistically effectively possible to reach that asteroid and start moving huge, golden rocks? No. So, why should you assume they are part of the supply?

I know that you can't make heads or tails of which bitcoins are lost. However, you can assume that possibly hundreds of thousands won't come into the market due to the same reason the asteroid won't come down to Earth. It's highly unlikely.

No, it doesn't. If you throw away your seed phrase and delete your wallet, your balance will remain the same, but the coins will never be moved again. You can't consider those into circulation.

What about the provably burnt coins (OP_RETURN) or the unclaimed reward from some miners? It won't be 21 million, neither 20,999,999.9769 which is the precise number.

And yet, very few have recovered the 50 BTC. Being able to reverse the ECDLP means you'll get all the rest 90-95% that are considered gone for good. This will definitely upset the market. I don't know for how long or how much, but it'll definitely have an impact on your wealth. The fact that they haven't moved since the day they were mined shows that they're excluded from the ones into the actual, realistically assumed circulation.

The “90-95%” is pure speculation.

For which incident does that go to? The one that says Craig Wright is a liar?

mocacinno's response was excellent. Why do you care!? Honestly, it's just another early Bitcoiner who lost access to their wallet file. Not the first time, nor the last. It's extremely infeasible to find the private key by only knowing the address, not even the public key. If they somehow got moved, I would suspect they sit down and did everything possible to recover it and finally accomplished it.

The only difference is that those coins are already in market's circulation. The Stone man's coins haven't moved for over a decade.

I don't understand, what's the problem? Why did the new version deleted your block chain? Did it have enabled pruning by default? Why is your fee lower than it should? Stop yelling and start explaining properly what's the issue.

Such person is very likely to lose their funds in a dozen other ways...

This sentence doesn't make sense.

Tell me about it! When I was a newbie, there was even a member attacking to me, because I didn't realize the campaign was CFNP.

It will affect them, though, one way or another. Yes, if they take the necessary precautions then their private key isn't going to ever be calculated that way by an attacker. However, the ones who do have exposed their public key and do not take those precautions will affect them. The market will be disrupted once an attacker finds out the first ever rewarded addresses' private keys. Imagine being able to include a million of bitcoins into circulation.

Then, you need to ensure that the attacker can't make the calculations quickly. If they do and specifically faster than the time that takes your transaction to be confirmed, then they can even spend your own money.

Nonetheless, it's considered an improbable scenario, currently.

Because they are fearmonger. 

Joke asides, it's because when Bitcoin started in 2009, Satoshi chose to make the coinbase transaction payable in public key. The uttered “Pay-to-public-key” (P2PK). As a result, thousands of addresses containing this unspent output of 50 BTC have exposed their public key.

Besides that, every address that is reused has also exposed its public key. Currently, the one with the most bitcoins, Binance's, has revealed its public key.

Currently, it's full. This is what that “[FULL]” indicates. When it's open for new participants, the manager will change it to “[OPEN SLOTS]”.

The bet is that people won't need a third party to transact when it comes to bitcoin. I won't exaggerate it with gold. Take for instance, cash, banknotes. You can't send me your hundred dollar bill, unless we make an arrangement, which is definitely impractical if we're far from each other. Due to that, we need a third party.

In this case, it's the bank. The bank abuses this impracticality and creates debt. If the people suddenly stopped depositing money, the global debt would start reducing.

That being said;

There is. Non-custodial wallets.

Nah... I think it's as good as an invoice. Write “Tip me!” instead to avoid seeming like a purchase.
