One of Hal Finney's lost contributions to Bitcoin Core to be 'resurrected'In a February 8, 2011 post on Bitcointalk, Finney said that reading a book titled “Guide to Elliptic Curve Cryptography” by Hankerson, Menezes, and Vanstone, gave him an idea of how to speed up signature verification by 25%. In the following post from the same day, Finney announced that he had already written “test code” and uploaded it to the Github repository. However, there was a problem with Finney’s proposal — his method had already been patented by someone else. https://cointelegraph.com/news/one-of-hal-finney-s-lost-contributions-to-bitcoin-core-to-be-resurrectedBitcoin Forum > Bitcoin > Development & Technical Discussion Speeding up signature verificationhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3238.0

titular de CoinTelegraph siguiente: ¿Un corralito en España?
Caramba si que nos ven mal, estoy contigo en tu respuesta, a día de hoy poca gente haría uso de BTC porque no tienen BTC, otra cosa es que ya estuviéramos con una adopción notable, pero no es el caso, en cuanto al corralito, aparte que hay varios países mas tambaleándose en la cuerda floja que van antes que nosotros, igual esto viene por una noticia de la semana pasada del Santander, dejo las cuentas de particulares y de empresas a cero..., estarán probando? Esto corría hace unos días pero no le han dado mucho bombo, ya les vale, su respuesta, fallo virtual (no he indagado cuanto tiempo estuvieron las cuentas en esta situación, pero si coincidía con cobro de remesas, pólizas, cheques, vencimientos o cualquier tipo de pago  ) Miles de clientes del Banco Santander han visto como su cuenta se ha quedado a cero de saldohttps://eldesinformado.es/2020/09/miles-de-clientes-del-banco-santander-han-visto-como-su-cuenta-se-ha-quedado-a-cero-de-saldo/ |

An important bit of information is that they have an insurance covering this loss, so user money is not at risk.
In these cases it is advisable to download your commercial history, in case things do not go as advertised... |

Cryptocurrency Exchange KuCoin HackedA lot of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrency left the exchange all at once. About $150 million worth, actually.
The company confirmed that late on September 25 (UTC time), "Bitcoin, ERC-20 and other tokens in KuCoin's hot wallets were transferred out of the exchange."

No son tus llaves ni de KuCoin: ignoraron las banderas rojashttps://es.cointelegraph.com/news/not-your-keys-not-kucoin-s-red-flags-ignoredAunque el CEO de KuCoin dice que cualquier usuario de la plataforma que se vea afectado será compensado por el seguro que tienen contratado, esperemos que sea así, porque de momento hablan de 150 millones de dólares, que no es que sea una cifra con la que una aseguradora este dispuesta asumir la perdida sin antes llevar a cabo una investigación a fondo de lo ocurrido. Una buena recomendación cuando por desgracia nos encontramos directamente afectados por una situación de este tipo es descargarse el historial completo de nuestras transacciones realizadas, antes de que el problema del intercambio vaya a mayores y empiecen con bloqueos de acceso o de cuentas.

It will be interesting to see how my channels I have opened with bitfinex act post this development. I had them maxed out at pre-wumbo channel amounts, and I am not sure I feel like enlarging them, or opening larger ones. But with multi-path payments active I expect my now small channels will still see action, maybe even more. My Bitfinex channels are already some of the most active I have, and I do not even really try to keep them balanced since they have always sort of been: whoosh all liquidity from one side to the other, and whoosh back again. These are sort of different than channels for a "purchaser" or a "vendor" which benefit from liquidity being either on one side, or the other, or balanced. Exchanges are going to be accepting and sending out big deposits all the time. I sort of think this new development will just mean my channels get even more active. It may be a good opportunity for those who trade arbitrage on different exchanges... https://www.bitcoinpricemap.com/ |

By the way, VB1001.... what is going on with your finances? You have not figured out some way to buy back some sats? aka stack some sats.
I am at this stage, some ridiculous purchase at some point depending on my mood, but I need extra liquidity to solve situations outside of my personal economy. Sometimes it's difficult to get into the thread, but being here also helps me disconnect from other things. Thx, JJG |

"Hal Finney" Sun, 11 Jan 2009As an amusing thought experiment, imagine that Bitcoin is successful and
becomes the dominant payment system in use throughout the world. Then the
total value of the currency should be equal to the total value of all
the wealth in the world. Current estimates of total worldwide household
wealth that I have found range from $100 trillion to $300 trillion. With
20 million coins, that gives each coin a value of about $10 million. https://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg10152.htmlDon't rule out any pricing option, look what they were talking about in 2009. Important clause highlighted. He obviously wasn’t looking into a crystal ball and predicting that. This is why influential people sometimes become wary of any type of “what if?”, thinking-aloud types of brainstorming in public. I do not mean a prediction from Hal, from the crystal ball, the "experiment" was in the testing phase but HF already anticipated that with a limited supply if BTC was successful the price would increase exponentially, he made a quick calculation. Almost 11 years later with 7.8 billion people in the world, we continue with a high percentage of the population who have no idea about BTC, nor do they know what Bitcoin is, by the time (adoption) BTC reaches the consumer, all the BTC already It will be in the hands of institutions, Hodlers. very rich people, banks, exchanges, whales, miners, (not counting the lost BTC) members of WO  , then it will be when the satoshis enter the market, because few people will be able to pay the full price of 1BTC in 10 or 15 years. Here the point of HF is that he was/is a real BTCull, with Hat, of course People will react similarly to gold, they will buy small pieces of BTC as store of value. How many things can happen in the long term future? many. That there will be some currency for the usual purchases in the day to day? probably with all security. But if we get it right, no one will replace Bitcoin. (Excuse my grammar, as you have already observed, my level of English is very bad.) |
