I never would come to the 100k party under my alias in this forum, my opsec was crushed long ago. Like said, I don't care if this user is connected with my real life persona, doesn't change a thing.
Oh and good luck getting my name from any records, you'd have to hack the hospital records I was in, it was never in any news or made public.
Don't worry, I'd never look for your name or anything. No point for me to do that, as I'd never cause any harm to anyone. I just mentioned it for all of us readers here, to be careful when we write about ourselves. A guy in Turkey published in Facebook that he had 400 BTC. IIRC, he was kidnapped, tortured, and his 400 BTC stolen. I have sometimes researched the IRL identities of a few people here. Just for the sake of it. I guess all the clearly identifiable ones already know they are somewhat exposed. And I don't remember anything about it. |

Problem is depending on who you worry to break your opsec. We WO'ers? Probably not. Any state agency, without doubt with much less than you have just said. I don't care about state agencies.... As long as I am not a terrorist, there's no way they could use anything against me in a court. That's all I care. I was extremely paranoid decades ago. Maybe I had reasons to be or maybe not... don't remember anymore. Now I am sure I am an extremely uninteresting person to closely watch, so I don't fucking care. |

I was 20y old, saw some teenagers chasing a rat on the street. I had done some X and was nicely drunk as well, I thought I'd show them how to catch the rat and throw it on the wall (very smart behaviour). After couple of minutes of chasing I caught the rat who ofcourse bit me on the instant. The rat got away, didn't make anything serious about it, just continued my druggy weekend. When woke up the next Monday had a small fever, which rose from 37 to 40 in about an hour, called myself an ambulance and then passed out. Got some kind of shot but wasn't taken to hospital, they told me if it gets more serious I'd have to go there myself. When I woke up on Tuesday I had red spots all over my body, went to hospital myself and gave blood to be tested. They started treating me against rabies but told me I had no symptoms against it and they really didn't know what's wrong with me. Then the blood got sent to UK and after 48h I got the results. Was hospitalised for 10 days.
Rabies does not show symptoms so fast. It takes usually more than a weeks up to a few months. Problem is that when it does show symptoms it can really kill you very fast if it is too late (which usually is). Never heard about your disease. Hope you got fully cured with no consequences. |

^ This guy is still here with the same rambling?!?!

And there's where all your opsec has just gone to trash.
Not that it is that much of a problem (see Mic), but just saying.
Anyway.... what did you do to get infected?

hmmmmm Meh. Its about time we had some QC FUD. I have been missing it. I don't think the author is fudding. I don't know how many qbits it would take to make an attack on early addresses feasible, but those qbits are certainly coming eventually. I think the idea of Satoshi's coins as a quantum DEW line is interesting indeed. Theymos was defending the idea to remove satoshi coins for the very same reason. Maybe we should ask him what his current stance on that subject is. I would think it is not a big concern for the next few years, but it will be sometime in the future. Breaking the golden rule of immutability will not come without cost. It is a dangerous discussion that opens many doors that should probably be left closed. Yes, it is a very complex subject. Some day I would like to hear more from Theymos justifying the action. When I first heard about it seemed completely nuts and unfair to me. Maybe it isn't. Donno at this time. |

toxoplazmosis
A fascinating thing. But from my understanding, in rodents it makes them attracted to cat urine. It's humans that it makes aggressive. Yes, that's why MSM dumbfully labels toxoplasmosis as "rodents not fearing cats". Rodents have a natural instinct to avoid any place where they detect cat pee. In my country house I used to spread the contents of the litter box all over the perimeter for that very same reason. It worked wonderfully. |

I don't see it scary. I have always assumed that anyone having physical access to my hardware wallets and some resources to spend to reverse engineer the content of the memory chip would end having access to my private keys. The cost is probably higher than my Bitcoin stash.... but not yours. Anyway, don't fucking let anyone else to have physical access to your hardware wallets?
The other vulnerabilities seem to reside on the possibility of you trusting a hardware wallet which firmware has been tampered with. Again, doesn't scare me. I know my firmwarez, yo.
That being said, for VERY HIGH amounts, you could just use an offline PC *AND* a hardware wallet that is never connected to an online PC. Sign the tx, Carry it to an online computer via USB and broadcast it to the network with ANY software wallet (ie Electrum). Can't get much safer and paranoid than that.
For 100+ BTC stashes I would surely be doing that.

toxoplazmosis
That would also be a possibility, yeah. But seeing how the cat was carrying the mice on its mouth at the beginning of the video I would say that is enough reason to try to attack back as soon as he is released and before the cat gets him again (something that probably have already happened for several times before this video clip). Thats alot of speculation but thats what this thread is for right?  Yeah, Bitcoin can be like a fucking rat sometimes  Now that I think about it... the honey badger is very rat alike........ |

Rodents are extremely intelligent, powerful and aggressive (when in life danger) creatures. |

Trod craefully for thou art crunchy and taste good with ketchup.  Holy shit thats fumy! I wonder if that thing is infected with that brain parasite that makes rodents suicide? Rodents can be very aggressive when cornered. The cat has probably spent some time "playing" with him over and over, he is completely fed up and probably already thinks the only possible way to escape alive is to attack back and scare the predator. It seems perfectly normal survival behaviour to me. |

He is bringing up a lot of Bcash talking points so it’s probbably a Bcash dev sock puppet
I stopped arguing with him when he insisted that Bitcoin Core client should temporarily degrade into an SPV until the initial sync is finished. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5080565.msg48490886#msg48490886Then he came up with a GTA example  The guy seems to be knowledgeable or at least to have spent some time studying things... but his conclusions (at least some) seem wrong to me. |

Some of the stuff that Franky1 is talking about is complex / can’t be fucked working through it. But it’s pretty clear that a significant proportion of what he is saying is bullshit. So safe to ignore the balance of what he is saying. I think best just to put him on ignore.
From the comments of gmaxwell, one would say he is like the r0ach of the tech/development area of the forum ...
It's really a shame that people are forced to waste their time correcting you simply because you are so persistent and voluminous in your inaccuracies that you manage to confuse many people even though your posts are not very convincing.
...
You've misunderstood what we've accomplished here.
...
It exists only in the imaginary protocol that you spend your days attacking and confusing people with.

hey vb1001 notbad getting gmax in yer thread  mind you franky1 lol yes, there may be a good debate... Yeah. You posted an article about a paper/development which gmaxwell coauthored. Franky1 commented about it seemingly incorrectly and then gmaxwell himself stepped in to clarify the misunderstandings. Funny. And very interesting... but above my knowledge to debate about it personally. Will keep watching though. |

Old news. The obvious conclusion is: - Order your hardware wallets directly from the manufacturer. - Try to avoid third parties from having unlimited physical access to your hardware wallets. <- This risk is only theoretical though... but a good security practice in any case. ...or don't use a hardware wallet in the first place and learn how to sign offline transactions without it. I'll never trust some device with my private keys, sorry. Might as well leave them on Coinbase if that was the case. At least I would have a legal claim if they lost them. While I do appreciate the added security of signing transactions fully offline you could also do it with a hardware wallet for complete paranoia. Hardware wallets are basically an intermediate step between signing from a completely offline computer vs using a software wallet on an online pc. Every need might have different solutions depending on risk/amount. What I would never use for anything except play money is an online software wallet. And there is people still using them. |

Wow, it's true. That must be some sort of record for a first ever thread lol
What do you mean? I mean the same that V8 has said... That it is a great accomplishment to have attracted someone like gmaxwell to comment on your thread, more so considering it was your first one |
