Get your coins in bigger chunks, whereever you get the from wait a bit long befor you withdraw if possible. For existing inputs, you have to pay a fee as steven0021 said.

The seed is the starting point for an algorithm that (re)creates the private keys. As long as you know the correct starting point you can (re)create (or rather derive) as many private keys from it as you want. Due to the way its designed its just as secure as other wallets. In fact most wallets use this scheme called HD now. HD as in hierarchical deterministic.

They used SHA1 which was anounced to be deprecated after 2016.

No.

Look at the system clock bottom right and the time the bitcoin have been received @ ~1:14. -> https://youtu.be/l808FsQRlRA?t=1m11s

The address is correct though 17b1RWXqB8tHynt2MJm7W3j4mX1pzfvvYh
probably stolen funds from those that believed this software works while it infected your machine.

Whoever said that has a misunderstanding of what a wallet is. Wallets are not stored on the blockchain, they are stored on your local machine or with the service you are using. In the case of electrum (you posted in the electrum sub after all) the wallet file is stored on your local machine.

Im sorry for you Rumpelstiltskin.

Das macht gar nix, die Adresse zerfällit nicht einfach in (digitalen) Staub.


Das wird an der alten Multibit Classic Version liegen. Macht mal ein update auf 0.5.19, setz die Blockchain zurück und erstell eine Transaktion.

Deine Bitcoin sind immer noch da, keine Sorge. Es gab vor einiger Zeit ein Update der Netzwerk Knoten um einen bestimmten Angriff (Malleability) unwirksam zu machen. Die alte Version von Multibit Classic nutzt nun eine Weise zur Unterschrift die vom Netzwerk nicht mehr akzeptiert wird. Nach dem Update sollte alles problemlos gehen.

It just goes for a higher probability (I dont remember how many decimal 9 digits, but its essentially 100%) and a factor two is easier to handle since almost all of these calculations are done for binary numbers.


There are 2^256 different private keys, but because of the use of RIPEMD-160 it is assumed that 2^96 private keys result in the same address. Compressed und uncompressed pubkey are usually ignored. IIRC You try to find a collision with one specific address, thus finding one with a balance would be easier as your chance increases from 1 in 2^160 to ~8*10^7 in 2^160.

Finding a collision with any hash you create yourself is even easier as it would only take 2^80 operations. -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_attack#Classical_collision_attack


Yes, its just an example for a more general problem -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem#Cast_as_a_collision_problem

Do you remember at least a bit about your password? If so it might be possible to brute force the rest, using e.g. btcrecover[1].

"to pay for" is not the same as "has value", that was the whole point. Non-physical things have value, e.g. your name.

Where did you get the xpubs for wallets B and C from? There is each a correspong xprv needed to (co-)sign. You need at least one of them to move your funds.

About treefiddy.

Danny gives good answers, but I think its too specific to be listed here.


Its listed under "Signatures - how to create and verify them"

Thanks for your suggestions though, feel free to post more. I have been away for a bit and I probably missed some good threads.

Nope, you can have perfectly fine fun in those games without having an ultra rare skin. Their are prestige objects and I think thats a good reason to not use them as counter arguments. Domain names are a way better example that people can understand better. Whats amazon.com worth? Its just virtual. Furthermore, your name is just virtual or information, is it worthless to you? Would you be fine if I just named you Rumpelstiltskin from now on? Non-physical objects have (personal) value and there is no reason why there should be an upper bound unless it has a physical form.

Storing data on a disk is not a quantum thing though. Even if, the data was stored at the very least in memory by a machine and thus it was observed. Furthermore it was not only observed but also modified and stored.

Your source is wrong slightly off as it ignores the birthday paradox. Due to it, on average you have found a collision after checking half of the keyspace with almost certainty. Thus you only need 2^159 key generations. Not that it changes the numbers in any significant way.

It doesnt really matter whats in the box, whats important is that there is a chance for it to be in one state and a chance for it to be in another. In Schrödingers Gedankenexperiment he used a very small amount of radio activ material which could decay a single atom within a given time span. This was used as switch for a deadly gas which would either kill the cat or not depending on whether an atom decayed or not. This was constructed to be of equal chance. An address collision is not of equal chance to it not happening, but its still the same general principle I think.


Id say the collision happened even when no one noticed it. Shit already broke you just didnt realize it yet. Whoever sends coins to the address in question first will reveal the information to the other person also in control.

Yes, marco(theminer) used this to communicate their ban to signature campaign participants. IIRC it was something very similar to the message you suggested with a mail address.

Lets say I start the raffle today and want it to finish some time sunday next week. So I go to e.g. blocktrail and see the current block height is 447073 and there are on average 144 blocks per day. So I go to random.org and let me get a random number between 72 and 144. It tells me 99. I add another 144*7 blocks for the week and say that block 447073 + 99 + (144*7) = 448180 will decide who wins the raffle. I would also require valid transactions to be confirmed in block 448179 or earlier.

See my post above on how to configure electrum in a reasonable way currently without the need to understand why. Make sure you make yourself familiar with how fees work over time though. You are essentially buying space in a bitcoin block, which is currently limited to 1 MB. The more people use bitcoin the more expensive this space becomes unless there is a solution. There are several possible solutions in the works, but it seems difficult for everyone involved to agree on what is the best solution.

As in the minimum, there is a practical minimum and its called "dust". Never send less than 2730 Satoshi or 0.000 027 30 Bitcoin. Usually its not nice if you send someone 2740 satoshi either, so I personally wouldnt bother if its below 0.0001 BTC or 10k satoshi which is currently valued at ~8 centEUR or ~9centUSD.
