Sadly i was late to see this posts


thank you for the video it was interesting to see it.

BTW this remember me to the old Casascius coins

Bitcoin Mint Casascius Shut Down By US Regulators

Yes, my bad, you are correct, I forgot that. One day i try to accelerate a segwit TX with exact 10 Sat/vB but the page said that the TX fee wasn’t enough, in that moment i realize that the minimum fee amount was int Bytes and not in vBytes

Hablando del tema me preocupa que esto pueda sentar una especie de precedente. Si bien es cierto que no es la primera vez que se lleva a cabo una devolución de este tipo, lo que realmente inquieta es el alcance mediático que ha tenido este caso en particular.

Es un acontecimiento que ha capturado la atención de la comunidad financiera, tecnológica y en general de la comunidad de bitcoin

La preocupación radica en que podría abrir la puerta a futuras situaciones problemáticas. Imagina un escenario en el que surja alguien con argumentos similares a los de Craig Wright, alegando que los mineros tienen una especie de responsabilidad fiduciaria o, incluso peor, argumentando alguna idea descabellada sobre la enmienda de errores y pérdidas de usuarios que han perdido el acceso a sus monedas y/o carteras.

Mi recomendacion para los mineros seria no devolver nada y que las personas/corporaciones aprendan de sus errores.

Saludos

I want to discuss with some users about some Fake puzzles, also I want to promote my keyhunt project and other codes that I did, those get a lot of interest

At the beginning I was not very active in this forum, but recently I started to share more things here. This is a great community, I have no plans to stop posting here.

Well viabtc is one of those miners that do things a little different, they allow to some TX to be included in their mined block if they have some minimum fee of 10 Sat/vB

But this is only 1 Sat/vB seems it was some private deal if you look the block in mempool.space



All the TX had the label as "Added"

That means two things

- They took those TX from the pending transacctions on mempool.
- The transactions were sent privately directly to viasat.

Obviously we can decide when, how to waste our money and actually that is good because we can choose what things to buy without all those small things our life may not have any sense right?

As a lot of people mention here their preferences between what phone to buy or how much to save or invest, that is the decision of each one of us, maybe with a little more time most of us may decide to invest in bitcoin before regretting it.

I personally regret not investing in bitcoin in 2011, and maybe some of the users here will regret that in 10 years from now.

IMO if you can't buy two iphones now in cash (not credit) is better not to buy one.

Stack every satoshi that you can guys!

Los fondos ya fueron devueltos.

Y la transaccion fue hecha con 0 Fees. asi de "Mira y aprende Paxos" 

Personalmente me hubiese gustado ver que le demorarán un poco más el retorno del balance. Ya que al estar relacionado con Paypal se debería de haber aprovechado la oportunidad para que probaran un poco de la misma calidad del servicio que ellos ofrecen, se que para estas empresas Medio millón no es nada para estas empresas, pero por ejemplo para pequeñas empresas puede representar un problema que un gestor de pagos como paypal te retenga arbitrariamente esa cantidad, ejemplo el caso de Flipper Zero contra paypal, solo por poner un ejemplo.

I agree with this, personally i think that testing and proof of concept are the only thing that python is good for. But once that the proof of concept is proven to be useful or good then is time to move to another language. If speed is determining for the algorithm



What F.. mental Fatigue? I already shared here a lot of programs, ideas, users share with me their ideas on telegram and there is nothing new...

What i am tryting to said is if you have a vague idea without math background or without enough testing, then OPEN a new thread discuss their idea there and if the idea was proven to be good, then link that new topic here sharing a brief sumary of it and how to use.

Those were automated transactions and the bug is actually weird the wallet had more than 60 thoussand transactions and as far we known this is the only mistake made by it.

 

What happend? well it should be nice heard that from those who work for Paxos to known what caused this error. As developer this should be more interesting.

Regards!

Before to all i want to remember to everybody that TESTNET coins are worthless and never supposed to have any real value.

Quoting: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Testnet


The only value that they provide are experience for developers, testers and other people that want to undertand and practice how bitcoin works without spend real bitcoins.

I am doing recently some test on testnet to test features like CPFP, RBF and FullRBF, testing scripts and a long etc...

But something change in the difficult of testnet in the last hours, somebody is mining like 5 blocks per second, so if someone wants to learn how to mining they can try Testnet on this momment.



Quoting againt the bitcoin.it page


According to it, the difficulty is reset to the minimum for a single block and then ir should return to the minimum. But in this ocassion that doesn't happend, i guess that the difficulty just drop to the minimun.

See it on real time on https://mempool.space/testnet

The block mined by a single addres are from 2477663 to 2481082 up to this time, not much just like 4 thousand blocks.

Anyway this is just a little interesting for me because mining is a new topic for me.

Regards

Personally i believe that this post just lost its purpose there is a lot of non-sense post or just some offtopic (Some moderator should close it)

A lot of discutions if some slowly python code do this or that, if you have something substantial to contribute to that discussion, it would be best to start a new thread.
 
In the field of the search of the solucion of this challenge there is no new algorithms or programs. We can resume the progress of the last year in the next.

- Puzzle/challenge 64 solve by Unknown a year ago ‎2022-09-09 privatekey f7051f27b09112d4
- Puzzle/challenge 120 solve by unknown on ‎2023-02-27 and the private key remains unknown.
- Puzzle/challenge 125 solve by unknown on ‎2023-07-09 and the private key remains unknown.

And there is not clue of who solve those and what hardware they use, the wallet 3Emiwzxme7Mrj4d89uqohXNncnRM15YESs is still untouch

Next challenges to be solve are 66 bits with just brute force/pool and puzzle 130 with kangaroo/pool

Best idea to solve puzzle 66 proposed on this thread is giving less priotiry to some repeated patterns. (But the expected time that the user give was ridiculus)

And thats all.

Somone can said that there is no such thing as bad advertising.

But in this case the reputation of Paxos may be a little damage no? Or maybe not, the regulars users wont even notice this kind of news.

 

Regards!

Si F2pool realmente quisiera devolver el fee que se mando por error mis preguntas son.

Por que no simplemente se lo devuelve a la direccion que cometio el error?
Existe alguna posibilidad de que se trate de una forma de realizar un Mix/Lavado del Uxto que se envio como fee, (Yo ya descarte esto ya que la transaccion fue publica y no una transaccion privada que solo tuviera F2pool, lo cual cual quiere decir que cualquier lo pudo minar por que estuvoal menos 7 minutos en el mempool)

That is a really good graph, most people can't understand some other graphs but i think that it is self explanatory.

Personally i am not fan of the apple products, the last one that i have was an iphone 4 some 13 years Ago, but damn it was a really bad purchase.

one of my favorite charts is the version of the price on a logarithmic chart with the halving delimited



Stack every satoshi that you can.

Regards!

The maximum value of a Privatekey is the value that you pointed, what they actually want to said is that address is a reduction of the public key, it is a 160 bit hash, so if you are capable to fin a collision on a 160 bits hash, that mean that you are capable to find any collision, regarless that those private keys are up to 256 bits

No, there is not an extrinsic reward for that, maybe only Advertising.

Second questions is debatable, in theory there is not punishment, maybe just a little of bad reputation but it wasn't their fault in first place

Yes you are right we can't block those input TX. What i mean it was hidden it or at least to have a way block the UTXO preventing to be spend it to another of our own address.



And yes just like you said we can spend it with out problem to another address as payment to someone else, we can said, thanks for pay our fees

Thank you for sharing your post, as this kind of awareness is vital for ensuring the security of our satoshis.

Yes they expect that some less experienced users fall for it.

Some recomendations for new users will be:

-Never be too quick to spend funds you've received, especially if it's a small and strange transaction.
-Always make sure the FULL destination address matches where you want your money to go.
-Using a good wallet that lets you block incoming dust transactions is a smart move.
-You've gotta be careful, and don't rush into sending money without double-checking everything.

It's kind of frustrating that those scammers always try always shady tactics, but by sharing info and educating others i think that we are doing it good

Regads!

I already discard that theory, the TX was publicly broadcasted according to mempool.space data. The TX was match with the expected block.

According to blockchain


And the block was mined:


Almost 7 minutes on mempool, that actually can be mined by anyone with some decent hash rate or some luck.

So if you want to launder some money you shouldn't use that way.

Nobody is mentioning that the address (bc1qr35hws365juz5rtlsjtvmulu97957kqvr3zpw3) is very active and it looks like all those TX are automated

So based on this personally i only can think that it was caused by a code error, some exception that was not correctly handled, but that is also very unlikey, as developer i don't see a case where it can fail like this.


if you see all TX the Change address is the firsts (Same wallet) and all of them are handled it correctly
