2023-05-08T22:09:17.733790Z 788838 foundry confirming their 28 minutes late stale block and orphaning the fupoo block

So clearly foundry is screwing around with bitcoin

https://mempool.space/mining shows block 788837 is F2Pool, not Foundry as your post suggests. Am I missing something?

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / On Hal Finney storing his keys in a safe deposit box

on: December 15, 2022, 09:51:50 PM

Many people speculate that Satoshi Nakamoto was none other than Hal Finney. Won't go into the details as to why others believe that. I was reading one of Hal's final posts and something stuck out to me. Here is the post in question: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155054.0 In the final lines, he states "My bitcoins are stored in our safe deposit box, and my son and daughter are tech savvy." If Hal was Satoshi, why would he store his keys in a safe deposit box? Safe deposit boxes are generally found in government controlled banks. The thought of the creator of bitcoin storing his keys in a bank seems absurd as it goes against everything bitcoin stands for. Perhaps Hal wrote that to throw people off from the idea that he was Satoshi or that he wasn't Satoshi at all. However, Hal was a cryptographic activist and cypherpunk according to his Wikipedia page, so either way it seems odd that such an individual would store their bitcoin keys in a safe deposit box. Or "safe deposit box" could be his way of saying a personal safe, but then why not just say a safe? I think I'm looking too much into this, but I thought it was something worth sharing. Thoughts?

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: == Bitcoin challenge transaction: ~100 BTC total bounty to solvers! ==UPDATED==

on: December 04, 2022, 09:47:16 AM

Does anyone know how to make BitCrack check the max number of keys/second by utilizing the max dedicated GPU memory? I have a 3070 Ti and have set it to: Code: -b 925 -t 256 -p 256 That's the highest configuration that I've been able to run without getting an error message. It nets me 1200 MKeys/s. I'm hoping to hit 2000 MKeys/s, if possible.

Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Generated wallet on a computer that I need to return.

on: December 02, 2022, 08:29:41 AM

Quote from: OmegaStarScream on December 02, 2022, 08:25:18 AM No, he won't be able to generate the same seed but there are tools he can use to try and recover the wallet file, even after formatting your PC. I see, that was my concern. I'm wondering if resetting to factory settings multiple times in a row would make a difference..? Either way, I can't risk it, so will not return the computer. Thank you for your response! I just realized that I could easily move the entire bitcoin balance to a different wallet whose seed was generated on a different cold machine to be completely safe and then return the computer in question (after factory reset of course).

Other / Beginners & Help / Generated wallet on a computer that I need to return.

on: December 02, 2022, 08:21:39 AM

I bought a computer over the Black Friday weekend hoping to use it as a cold storage device. I generated my seed phrase on it using Electrum. The computer was never connected to the internet. Things changed and I need to return the computer. I know how to erase the computer to factory settings. My concern is that someone would be able to use it to generate the same seed that I created. Is that possible? I'm probably overthinking things, but just want to be sure that the seed I generated on Electrum won't be generated by the next owner of the computer.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How does an encrypted wallet.dat file compare to Ledger/Trezor?

on: November 26, 2022, 06:02:37 AM

Quote from: odolvlobo on November 26, 2022, 03:16:59 AM You don't need to maintain an air-gapped computer or even sync the block chain. With an extended public key imported into a wallet, you will always have a new address available for depositing bitcoins to your cold wallet, but they cannot be spent without using the recovery phrase. 1. Create a wallet on a clean computer. 2. Write down the recovery phrase or store it on a USB drive. 3. Copy the extended public key to another USB drive. 4. Wipe the computer. 5. Import the extended public key into a wallet. Thanks for sharing that. I tried to see if I could find a step by step tutorial on how to do this and came across this post. Is that the same process you've outlined? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5392824.0

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / How does an encrypted wallet.dat file compare to Ledger/Trezor?

on: November 26, 2022, 01:08:01 AM

I want to move away from a self-custody hot wallet to cold storage. Instead of going with Ledger/Trezor, I plan on installing Bitcoin Core on an airgapped laptop and encrypting the wallets. That way I can just copy the wallet.dat file to many USB drives and keep them in different locations and I'd just have to remember the passphrase. I know I'd have to take a few extra steps if I needed to send funds out of those wallets, but don't plan on it as they are long term holds. Would like to hear your thoughts on how that compares to going with a Ledger/Trezor.
