The link isn't loading. Try Talkimg.com?  These private keys are garbage, awful work indeed.Was that printed on an old inkjet printer? That's pathetic! I could type it correctly at first try though, so that's something. But any cheap dumb laser printer would provide a sharp font. What I can say and speak on is that I wish he kept a copy of his keys cuz I can’t decipher SHIT from his fucking lost coin series. Holy fuck!! Use some better ink, larger letters… anything cuz this btc is probably lost. Even using a 10x magnifying glass. Try a high-res picture (ideally on an offline camera). Note that there is no l (lower case L), I (upper case i), 0 (zero) and O (upper case o) in BASE58.
We understand that not just other coins but our wallets are impacted but even we are trying to root cause it.
We are not 100% sure how this has happened.
But we think the key gen software we used is compromised. I've seen the question how keys were generated many times, but it hasn't been answered. I'm very curious to see this! Security creating private keys is the very basics of creating loaded coins. It's even very easy to do. Why are you not sharing how you did it? If your own wallets are also impacted, that means you didn't use a dedicated computer just for creating private keys. It was pure luck. We wanted to try creating vanity addresses (1O) for VIBGYOR coins so we looked at multiple options.
In the end we didn’t end up creating vanity addresses
But still went with the software we trying to generate vanity addresses What software is that? |

We will reholo and refund the coins What makes you think you can now do this securely, when you failed the first time? |

Two hundred and eighty-first week paid. Thanks again for your flawless timing! I was working on "my next vacation project", AKA a fully encrypted laptop, and I completely forgot the time. I now have software disk encryption and on top of that an encrypted home directory (with a different password). The disk doesn't offer hardware encryption, but 2 layers make me feel pretty safe it can withstand brute-forcing. Each of the layers should be enough already anyway. I haven't filled the disk yet, and don't know the performance penalty yet, but that's a small price to pay for peace of mind. |

Even LoyceV wasn't able to get a deal. I've received (and rejected) several offers. I'm just more picky nowadays, see my signature thread for the reasons (in short: mixers are gone, and online advertising for gambling is very restricted in my country, and it's just not worth the potential hassle). I last bumped my thread in April, and I'm thinking of further reducing the font size in my current "for rent" signature  |

a free market capitalist system, In a free market capitalist system, high prices mean efforts are made to meet the demand. What we have is centrally controlled artificial scarcity. One could argue the efforts are to increase transaction capacity are (supposed to be) made off-chain. |

Thing is, this is less about what we think about taint, and more about what the exchanges we are using think about it. Just like banks, I believe they couldn't care less. All they care about is being compliant, so they can say "they tried their best". It doesn't really matter if the result is based on arbitrary criteria, and it doesn't matter that different exchanges use different criteria. |

An attacker who corrupts a signing device watches on-chain until they spot a watermarked transaction, unblind and invert the low entropy nonces to learn the master secret seed. I recommend watching the short video, very interesting way retrieving the seed phrase. IF you use a compromised signing device and IF you don't notice the signed transaction is larger than expected. If your signing device is compromised all bets are off anyway. |

Also is it even legal for an under 18 year old to invest in bitcoin. My bitcoin is being stored in an exodus wallet and I can't remember how I bought it. You're young, recently bought Bitcoin, and can't remember how? How is this possible? It doesn't make sense. Next, you'll say you don't know how you stored your backup seed. There's a few more things to consider buying Bitcoin. You should probably read up before proceeding. Things that come to mind:: withdrawing a small amount from an exchange means you pay a large percentage in withdrawal fees. Collecting small amounts in your own wallet means you'll pay more on transactions fees when sending it later on. Keeping it on an exchange has risks, keeping it in a hot wallet also has risks. It's probably best to discuss with your parents on how to create an exchange account. If your under age, maybe they're willing to help you out. |

It's puzzling, really. Unfortunately, that's typical for a lot of Collectibles users: many of them leave feedback without reference link and easily include people in their Trust list. |

In short: Just 16 characters is far too short to mean anything. It can't even be an address, and for sure won't be a private key. It could be a brain wallet. I doubt that's very likely, but it doesn't hurt to check (on an offline system). Disk recovery is a specialized (and expensive) job. If you think it's worth it, send the disk to a specialist. Use Pywallet to search the entire partition for private keys. This is the tech board. Try to keep the personal stories out, that makes it easier to get to the point. |

My scraper was broken by Cloudflare after about 58K posts or so. If you ask nicely, maybe theymos can whitelist your server IP in Cloudflare. That solved my download problems when Cloudflare goes in full DDoS protection mode. I do however have LoyceV's archive (thanks Loyce) But I am not sure whether it covers posts before 2018. It's in the "oldposts" directory Why don't you implement a record locking system into your parser, so you can have multiple parsers running at once from various IPs? The rate limit is supposed to be per person, not per server. You shouldn't use multiple scrapers to get around the limit (1 connection per second). The rules are the same as for humans. But keep in mind:
- No one is allowed to access the site more often than once per second on average. (Somewhat higher burst accesses are OK.) |

Things are great if you look only from a financial perspective, but people who fantasize about Norway as some kind of promised land should know that it is a specific society that is not easy to get into That's what makes Norway so great: they look after their own interests. Norway's sovereign wealth fund is not meant for immigrants, it's meant for Norwegian citizens. And there is of course living in Svalbard, where you don't need a Visa, but you'll have to leave once you run out of money. I must say I like the concept. |

The forum has enough money to invest in forum related issues and this is a major issue. I don't think money is the problem: With regret, I am (for now) admitting defeat on the DDoS front, and we will soon be using using Cloudflare to protect against DDoS attacks. ~
I really don't believe in willingly putting a man-in-the-middle in your HTTPS like this, but my homebrew DDoS mitigation has been one of my biggest time sinks for the last 6 months or so, and the necessary servers are still pretty expensive. If I had more manpower, then I would prioritize maintaining our own DDoS protection, but with me as the only sysadmin and current-software developer, it's become unsustainable.
I especially dislike Cloudflare, which I'm almost certain is basically owned by US intelligence agencies. I considered several alternatives to Cloudflare, but the smaller ones (eg. Stackpath and OVH) didn't strike me as reputable/competent enough, and the enterprise-targeted ones like Incapsula and Akamai are around $3500/month. Even though $3500/month seems absolutely ridiculous to me, I was seriously considering Incapsula due to its pretty good reputation, but then they were having all sorts of technical issues while I was trying to set it up. So I gave up for now and went with Cloudflare.
The Internet is seriously flawed if everyone needs to huddle behind these huge centralized anti-DDoS companies in order to survive... If you have a better solution than Cloudflare, you should post it. Until then, Cloudflare is a necessary evil. For what it's worth: I can access Bitcointalk through Tor at the moment. Privacy of the forum users comes first or the expense? There's more to it than just money. A .onion domain without Cloudflare has been suggested before. Quoting a previous message, hope that theymos will see it: We are also ready to provide technical assistance in Cloudflare-less DDoS protection setup if it's the case. Since that post, I've seen several posts about eXch's own website being inaccessible. That only removes the forum's own Captcha, not Cloudflare. I don't think that theymos will buy the idea because of the reputation of the forum. Having an onion version might take the government's eyes to the forum and some kind of legal compliances would be required. Many normal websites also have a .onion domain. It's not only "for the darknet", it's actually useful for honest people who want privacy too. Examples: Protonmail, Blockchair, Facebook. I guess now I need to get used to with VPN. It's the last thing I wanted but to maintain the business, from the responsibility I am taking the risk otherwise I would take a break from Bitcointalk until the DF thing was settled. Once you've compromised your privacy, it's lost forever. If your VPN can't be trusted, it's too late after using it only once. You could use a virtual desktop on a VPS, and access that through Tor. But that's slow and annoying to work with. |

Me, I've registered since November 29, 2023 and I just received the same email 3 days ago.
Seems like those who got early access are donators (or those who have contact) and everyone else are granted access only after when they officially released the service. I received the same email, days after I read it's now publicly available. It's kinda pointless at the moment anyway, fees are very low and unless you got screwed by an exchange that used a low fee sending to another wallet you don't control, there's no point in using this accelerator now. |

I have been doing 4.09 sats they clear quick and easy. You could get away with less, currently fees dip under 3.00 sats all the time. |

I guess we'll have to wait until next week update to see the real changes that happened with theymos reshuffling DT, as, for example, Lauda is no longer in DT and that removes LM red tag as well as some other red tags that are on this list. I guess so I can't scrape everything at once, so the Trust data is updated the Thursday before publication. That was just before theymos reshuffled DT1. |

Why the price is just bouncing back? If nothing has changed..... Very strange.... Super short bulltrap? That's exactly the reason why I'd never panic-sell on a drop. |
