1  Economy / Goods / Re: I want to purchase an empty Bitcoin private key after sending the funds. on: April 13, 2024, 06:08:32 PM
lol that private key is freely available on line.

in fact here it is: 5KYZdUEo39z3FPrtuX2QbbwGnNP5zTd7yyr2SC1j299sBCnWjss

I know, check out https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5491559.msg63904930#msg63904930 where I already mentioned that. I was just looking for the intentions of the OP.

Thank you for your interest.
But I can't buy this wallet
The balance comes out as zero on the blockchain I know.
I'm sorry that I couldn't disclose the blockchain address that I can check.
Good luck...

It's pretty obvious you want to buy an empty bitcoin wallets private key so you can steal the coins from forks based on BTC where there is still a balance left. Update your buying criteria to reflect that instead of asking for something and hiding what you really want!

Update: Added a distrust to this scam user

Note for non scammers: I am aware "my" private key is a well known leaked one, I just wanted to see what this scammer was trying to do.

Please message me if you have an empty wallet that you deposited bitcoin after 2011 and recently transferred
You don't need any btc.bch, bcv, btg balance at all.
I need a private key because of the new hardpog coin.
1btc = $10

i know [:-1] this method use remove the last digit,but i need mathematically steps like + - * /

why i am post this topic  Smiley mathbehind crack ecdsa Wink

example input:
9cbdfb599ed0100
ce5efdaccf68080
1cbdfb599ed0100
397bf6b33da0200

i need output:
9cbdfb599ed010
ce5efdaccf6808
1cbdfb599ed010
397bf6b33da020
solve the math write here... :Note only last digits remove #mybadandgoodenglish
Just divide by 10:
9cbdfb599ed0100 / 10 = 9cbdfb599ed010
ce5efdaccf68080 / 10 = ce5efdaccf6808
etc.

Hi LoyceV since you already have some useful data, did you believe that you can publish some list like "Public keys with balance".

Not OP, but are you looking for something like this:

8  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin private key BASE58 problem on: December 04, 2021, 11:07:18 AM
Take the public key, SHA256 it, RIPEMD-160 it, then add 0x00 to the start. Call this pubhash_prefix. SHA256 this twice, take the first 4 bytes, and then append these 4 bytes to pubhash_prefix. Convert to base58 and you have your address.

The same thing as described by o_e_l_e_o, this time in python code:

Code:
bin = binascii.unhexlify(public_key)

#Step 1: Create hash of public key:
hash_of_public_key  = hashlib.sha256(bin).digest()

#Step 2: Calculate RIPEMD-160 of the public key:
r = hashlib.new('ripemd160')
r.update(hash_of_public_key)
r.hexdigest()

#Step 3: Adding network bytes (00) to RIPEMD-160
networked =  binascii.unhexlify('00'+r.hexdigest())

#Step 4: Double hash the networked RIPEMD-160
sha4a   = hashlib.sha256(networked).digest()
sha4b  = hashlib.sha256(sha4a).digest()

#Step 5: Get the first four bytes of sha4b:
four_bytes = str(binascii.hexlify(sha4b).decode('utf-8'))[:8]

#Step 6: Adding the four_bytes to the end the RIPEMD-160 from step 3:
address_hex = str(binascii.hexlify(networked).decode('utf-8')) + four_bytes

#Step 7: Convert the hex_address using base58 to bitcoin adres
address_base58 = base58.b58encode(binascii.unhexlify(address_hex))

I do not remember how it works, but maybe Bitcoin Core is not synced, therefore newly created transactions were not transmitted. The question is at which stage of synchronisation it is. And will it publish transactions when become synchronised?
The transfer won't be submitted to the network until the local client is up to date. Up to this point, the transaction is shown in the local wallet but not in the global network / mempool. So yes it will transmit the transaction after becoming fully synchronized if all inputs needed for the transaction are unspent.

11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Core wallet spends BTC 0.07!! USD 4000!! to make two small dust sendings on: December 02, 2021, 06:52:22 PM
Your question number 2.
How do I find the information to answer this question. Is that information in my Bitcoin Core client?

Code:
bitcoin-cli listreceivedbyaddress
But question 1 is more important Smiley

Your new transactions haven't been broadcast yet, that's why your transaction don't show up in any blockexplorer. The fact your balance is going down is likely caused by syncing of new blocks in which past transactions were found spending.

If you do:
Code:
bitcoin-cli getblockcount
What is the height reported?

And question 2:
Is this the address from your wallet with the X.98 balance reported:

I then first make one small test sending to my safe Ledger wallet address (legacy wallet) of 0.0001 bitcoin, where transaction fees are to be withdrawn from amount.
First of all, there is a difference between  your original post where you claim to have send 0.0001 versus the logs:
Code:
Nettobeløp: -0.00100000 BTC

But anyway, based on the logs you posted the two outgoing transactios have a rather small fee attached to them. So fees are not the problem for your "missing BTC". If anything they might be the reason for your transactions still not being confirmed, so not showing up as received on your ledger address.


Might I have been hacked somehow (im on a pretty new MacBook Pro)
Really hard to say based on what you shared this far. Any reason you removed the address and transaction-id from your logs you later posted? The problem for "disapearing" BTC is not in the transactions from your log.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: strange bitcoin addresses, algorithms and bruteforce on: December 01, 2021, 10:57:26 AM
1-how many addresses are there with this characteristic?
I took a look at all p2pkh addresses (so the ones starting with a '1'). I found over 1.5 million addresses with the characteristics you described which have been funded at least once:

Code:
1AAaaCnWptsdikfLwQKpPAkVvGWwXmcTwH

1QLZZFCFTZqnnZEorbSjFvbpQefgSpBijg
1QLZZpbdeXkbBSizdymoiPxUxPtHQsCmaW


Update: also checked all the p2sh addresses (so the ones starting with a '3'). There were almost 800,000 addresses matching your characteristics which have been funded at least once:

Code:
3AAAaXsDdNutaLfEPDbNinkctrdtCKaDtw

3QZZyZrBGnvRCZDhpmXzaBzbRmCSghmxbS

So the same conclusion as I had generating random addresses: they are not that special! There around 2.3 million (!) addresses matching your characteristics already in use.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: strange bitcoin addresses, algorithms and bruteforce on: December 01, 2021, 09:08:28 AM
You make it sound like you found some very special addresses, however as odolvlobo already pointed out this is something that is not rare at all. I generated 10000 addresses at random, which resulted in 28 addresses without any number in it (except for the leading 1 ofcourse). So about 1 in 357 addresses generated:

It is but I don't want to store all the raw transactions inside a unique array. There's a reason why the default publishrawtx watermark was set to 1000 - it only takes an hour or so to reach that many transactions inside the queue. As you can guess, the memory costs become increasingly enormous. And that's just on testnet - it's even more frequent on mainnet.
Why not store a hash of the rawtx in a list/array as well? That way you could check if that value is in there instead of the entire rawtx.

Something like this
Code:
You calculate sha-256(zmq->rawtx) to create a hash like 6b0599145092f00e21a2135c5197ff023a65e23939b310277e445efda1f50c53
you lookup this hash value in a list of processed transactions
if not found:
   process the raw-transaction handled by zmq, and don't store the complete rawtx after processing.
That way you do not have to alter the bitcoind sourcecode.

Please note: the hashing suggested above could be anything you want, it just meant as a unique identifier for a longer raw transaction and should not be mistaken for an actual txid!

Those wallet that has not change address how will they solve the problem of privacy mention by Exodus?
They do not. If you choose to re-use an address for change you give that up. It's a matter of personal choice, even though it is not a very wise choice to do so. Although you should know giving up privacy in this case does not automatically mean it is clear which person/entity is connected to the address. But the other way around is true: as soon as it is clear address X belongs to person Z it means you can trace back every payment done and received to/by the re-used address of person Z because all bitcoin transactions are public.

Based on the cryptic topic and answers I think this is what the OP means:

He/she is the one who did the funding of the address 1E6EcVz1eXAaafV3U4hJNvAYqGKQ1pdW2d in these two transactions:
Code:
a2bfe07be82c1899ffc5a6c5893a11f8e1437d6a580ed23381fa2e2cfea2bbba -> 0.00066895 BTC
9866a78cf47602b2dd5eeaf0c3803e871bcf9cf45d133d54ecc9eaf29f9d0cd3 -> 0.00185822 BTC

Then shortly after (next day) the output of these transactions were sweeped:

Code:
327f06e4cf65a83207c466f50ecb079c2c546e3e589da6423cb764dfe15b5e4e -> 0.00055000 BTC to 39brUscpDr5WZCCpVDPePBov8iYf1kdeux
bc1963fdc3ef014177325c13a617ed73fac842f49405e89a50e18338f2c3710d  -> 0.00175432 BTC to 132TRb6k6P689LKToerukdBEwperP6bBdx

My analysis is also based on the fact these sweeping transaction are having a really high fee because the attacker wanted to be sure the transaction is included in the next block. So yes I think OP means he funded his/her address 1E6EcVz1eXAaafV3U4hJNvAYqGKQ1pdW2d twice and  both times the funds got sweeped the next day. In that case it does indeed seem the wallet used is compromised.

Almost sleeping but:  Embarrassed

I read somewhere that wallet address is the public key generated from private key:

34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo                               wallet address (richest in the world)
0523e522dfc6656a8fda3d47b4fa53f7585ac758cd7c0caa48         decoded wallet address

054a782fe173a0b6718d39667b420d9c8b07e94262578fac8c


I know that public key for ecc secp256k1 is 64 bytes long, why then dcoded wallet has got only 25 bytes???

It all depends on the address type. For P2PKH (Pay to Public Key Hash) addresses the address is indeed a representation of the public key. But as o_e_l_e_o already explained it is not simply taking the public key and apply base-58 encoding.

However two of the three addresses you linked start with a '3'. These are P2SH (Pay to Script Hash) addresses. The decoded wallet addresses refers in those cases to the hash of a redeem script, so it isn't based on a public key.

I think we can stop waisting time on this since after all these posts and questions it is still not clear what the actual problem is.

My best guess: OP came up with some clever brainwallet a few years ago, but forgot what it was exactly. He/she tried a few combinations which resulted in a private key for wrong addresses (no incoming transactions). Now somehow it is expected we figure out what his original brainwallet was.
