Well, lots of extremely certain figures there with exceedingly precise calculations. In reality it's a chaotic free for all and no one knows what would happen. GDAX and Korea have unquestionably been the leaders in this final epic run up. Bitfinex was consistently lagging or doing its own thing.

Confidence would no doubt take a vast knock if any of this was true, but by the far the more likely risk is the US government nailing them to the wall for coming up with a blatant hack of normal regulations. Personally I think all of the dollars are real but the bank holding them has no idea what their purpose is and Ifinex isn't telling them either.

That settles it then. I was suspecting as much. I've asked on the Ian Coleman github so perhaps he can do something with it.

Thanks again.

Thanks for trying and yes it's a junk seed for pure testing. And no password was added.

Evidently there is something slightly different about XEM. I've read elsewhere that it uses SHA3 + RIPEMD160 whereas most other coins use secp256k1+RIPEMD160. That's gibberish to me but it means that site might need to specifically adjust something for it to produce valid results.

I asked Trezor themselves and they sent me to the Ian Coleman thing so if even they don't know that it's a tad worrying, but then again the whole point of Trezor is not needing to do it.

Good to know I'm not alone there. I'm sure people who arrived in the last year will wind up making themselves prematurely senile trying to keep up with things.

Soon it'll be a four year old project, at least in terms of concept. I wonder how many who were there to kick off are still around. There are a lot of unfamiliar or inactive names on this list https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=440185.0  though 90% are probably the same person.

Anyone who is in to Bitcoin and talks about it with others who are not gets a rapid schooling in how mindless the average person is.

Bitcoin at $250 'Hey, buy some Bitcoin. It'll never be this cheap again.' 'Nah. Way too expensive. I'll wait.'

Bitcoin at $19,500 - 'Hey. I just bought some Bitcoin. When does it double for me?'

It's depressing but utterly dependable which is why we have whales who command everything. They know perfectly well how the average person behaves and preys on it. That lack of logic makes the bigger picture completely logical.

One person is totally unpredictable. 100,000 of them is not.

All the developers do is make code. The energy consumption bit is down to miners and those who build and design mining hardware. They're ruthlessly incentivised to minimise cost and consumption and you can bet your tight little buns they'll go all out to do it.

And don't listen to this bilge about rows of incubators filled with dead babies because Bitcoin stole all the electricity, that's just a tad melodramatic.

Beddie byes between 3-5am. Arise between 10-11 ideally. It has been this way since I was a child. I despise mornings and only see early ones when I've been up all night. The times when everyone else is unconscious always seem more inspiring to me.

One winter I didn't see daylight for a few weeks hitting the sack at 8 and rising at 4. I almost always sleep soundly but often don't get as much as I'd like.

I'd feel more well disposed towards him if I could use him as an armchair. Probably smells though.

Alright. Let me go off and do some research. I want to keep the irritation up.

Tungsten.

I hope momma Ver never follows her son's 'progress' online. If she's easily swayed by public opinion she'd run straight out and get her womb shot blasted.

It's time to launch the Chaturbate of exchanges so you can see all the trader faces on livestreams. It would be like a poker game with the occasional tossing of cookies.

Thank you. Tried that. No dice.

I added 01 to the key above and it gives met a new and different address. Like I said I could be doing something very obviously wrong and wouldn't know.

Holy moly. I think I need my hand held here. Thanks for everything so far.

So I've been fiddling around with the Ian Coleman thing. I can indeed get a private key that an XEM wallet recognises from the seed doing the bitaddress thing which is definitely progress, but it isn't recreating the original XEM address that the Trezor creates in the XEM wallet with this seed so evidently it's not deriving the same private key.

I'm entering the seed. I'm entering this derivation path in the BIP 32 tab - m/44'/43'/0'/0'/0' as the Trezor shows me.

I'm entering the private key on the first corresponding line delivered from the Ian Coleman tool marked m/44'/43'/0'/0'/0' into Bitaddress to get the hexidemcial key.

But it's not giving me the correct private key to match the Trezor XEM address when I create another XEM private key wallet. What might I be doing wrong? This could all be painfully obvious, but I never claimed not to be.

If anyone can be arsed I'll tip them.

Here's my junk Trezor seed -

mouse rapid remember click sample strong climb rain essence company board lumber blur return submit globe person rapid nominee pilot try boy truly phrase

Here's the address that seed creates with the Trezor in the XEM wallet - NCXL2T-RPKSH6-2EYJUX-5SPCRO-PBY3V5-L7HEBB-HY3Y

Here's the private hexidecimal key derived from the above method I've outlined - 94C63352FF1A933B227845237313E1217A0986222BBAE90325399DEE595EB1BF

And this is the address that key creates when I feed that hexidecimal key into an XEM wallet - ND6OF2-BA27YV-CGSMWF-M5LYGV-XUFAGY-I2EUJA-BWCE

I think it might possibly be over now and don't go expecting billions. It averaged out at about $1.50 each.

Who are the customers of these exchanges? Presumably mainland Chinese can't get on them.

Nah. It's been stuck in alt exchange hell forever. Much poxier coins are on much bigger exchanges. It's time it started to get the gateways it deserves. One of the reasons it's taking its time is that the NEM foundation isn't paying bribes to anyone to be listed, unlike most others.

My brain is too calcified to learn about new coins these days. If they're nice then good luck to them. I'm done dabbling.

Hey, I own two Fiats. Very hot ones too. I'll take them over some Lambo any day of the week. That's if I knew where they were.
