i never heard blockchain got hacked and refunding people
you are creating a fake story
i guess, he means, there was issue with blockchain.info creaing wallet address using some bugged method., but it has been sorted out already and it was in past., |

this challenge looks amazing, but its colorful ness makes it difficult for colorblind people, including myself.
are there any clues out there ?

its simple, government will ban anything and everything which they cant control i.e. cant make profit off of it., i.e. cant tax it.
and bitcoin by nature is decentralized , i .e. its people's money no control on it whatsoever.
so obviously, govrn., hate it and they mark it as banned. but it doesnt stop people from using it.,

each person should have cold wallet and hot wallet, treat it like cold wallet = bank locker and hot walletm is your daily wallet you carry., where in hot wallet you keep low amounts of btc and in cold wallet, you keep your most of the btc.
you make paper wallet of your cold wallet and give a copy to your loved ones as a backup/nominee.
in case person dies, then loved ones can still access btc from the cold wallet.
cold wallet / paper wallets can be stored in bank lockers.,

Why dont you take them?
PM me the WIF and I will send the btc to you.
becuase i want more than that, not just 13 btc. how do i know, you wont scam me. Well the funds are still there, so IF U had the WIF, your an idiot, thus it can only be surmised that your a liar.

13 BTC
It's EXTREMELY hard to break an address by brute force, its far better to build a bloom-filter for all addresses that have a balance over 1 BTC, then run a GPU farm over the ultimate rainbow table and hope that you occasionally hit on of the 10k addresses with value, but note that the other 10**77 have no value Nobody can break an address, 1 in 10**77 is like finding a pebble in space, 10k in 10**77 is like finding a ring on some beach on the earth, buried in the sand A good rain-bow table and a person with high-value address and weak passphrase may drop the 10**77 down to 10**32 and make it very manageable, the problem is most of these low entropy high value addresses were cracked pre 2015  |

what error/warninng message exactly you are getting ?
any screenshots , or command line copy paste would be good for us to know what is causing.

Here is my version of the python code: https://pastebin.com/19y9pUg5It works for me. My Python version is 2.7.13 It generates 10 Addresses every time it is run. For the first address it also displays the 256 bit random number and public key In the end there is some commented code, to make an uncompressed address, and where you can manually add your own random number and it makes address form that Thanks, i ll give it a go., i have created another paste, which wont get removed after 1 year., i hope you dont mind. so that ppl can benefit from this even after a year. https://pastebin.com/6yw2BtDM |

I just re-read my comment and realized that it can be understood that I have made my own c++ implementation. BUT I meant I have just edited the python code, not converted it to c++. Here is a link with some c++ code: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17672696/generating-bitcoin-address-from-ecdsa-public-keyEdit: Also tried to post my version of the python code, but the forum prevented me from posting it. Quite surprising. But doesnt matter, because you were not looking for python code anyway. This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.
i have already seen that code., but can't make it to work., you can always upload your code snippets to pastebin.com |

please do , i am really interested., thanks i am specifically looking for c,cpp because of performance issue., i have php code and it takes around 34 seconds to generate 128 pairs of private key and btc address., and if i add compressed address generaton too, then it takes 67 seconds., its very slow., so i am looking for fastest method out there., i am even looking at how can i use secp256k1 for the same., |

Is there minimal cpp code which can generate bitcoin WIF and address from sha256 private key? I am trying to generate Bitcoin WIF key Bitcoin Addresses from sha256 HEX private key. but all i see there are bulky libraries and software packages. I am looking for lightweight small, fast, cpp code which can generate I need this WIF KEY : 5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsreAnchuDf
Bitcoin Address : 1EHNa6Q4Jz2uvNExL497mE43ikXhwF6kZm
Bitcoin Address Compressed : 1BgGZ9tcN4rm9KBzDn7KprQz87SZ26SAMH
i have this sha256 HEX key : 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
Thanks for your time. |

first3 methods are nothing new, i saw the same methods in some video , posted here .
using merkle roto and tx id as a private key and generate bitcoin address.,
but its like shooting in dark.

miners cant decide the fees, as fees are set by tx creator, i.e. person sending btc.
but miners can choose which tx they want to mine, and this can be automated.,
ie.. only select those tx whoose fees is higher than 250 sat/Byte, something like this/.

from what i understand , in trading btc.
buy low and sell high.
but i have a question, i have account at poloniex.,
and when i want to sell,
sell against what ?
i mean what should i get/buy when selling btc.
as polo doesnt deal with fiat currency.
so what is out there which is not as jumpy bitcoin, i.e. stable.
imho, usually people sell bitcoin and get USD.
or should i open account at some other exchange which offers exchange with fiat currency., i.e. real life money
what am i missing here ?
what i dont want is, lets say, i sold btc and got ripple or any other crypto then if its value goes down, my investement goes down too., i hope you are getting what iam trying to say.,
sorry for my bad english.,
thanks for your time.
You should dig more on how to trade well, buy low and sell high is the basic of trading but the question is what to buy? And now you are struggling, its very complicated in your side if you will jump to the advance one so take your time in understanding the basic and gather the necessary tools to use. will do, thanks ~
i don't recall where i read it, but tether value also fluctuates . but not as much as bitcoin.
USDT value doesn't really fluctuate, check the price history of it versus USD and you will see. what happens is that this is a centralized coin which only depends on the company that issues it. if there is some issue with them then the price of it can tank hard. for example last year when bitfinex was hacked (the company is also behind bitfinex) the price of tether fell hard. additionally when using tether you should remember than you are trusting a third party (that company) and if they scam and run away you will be left holding a worthless token. and these days some people are speculating about this could actually happen. so i guess, i should not store funds in usdt for longer time., ~

I do trade my Bitcoin vs. USDT, it's best if you are a trader to sell if it is in its high and buy in its low. i think for short term, like 1-2 days, it doesnt matter much., but cant say for sure., thanks |

Yes, you are allow to use other exchanger that accepts fiat. You can send your btc in your btc wallet that accepts fiat so you can easily converted your bitcoin and use it if you need it. Sell high buy low is always recommended. Ofcourse because that is when we can earn more.
majorty exchanges does not operate in my country .i.e. India so i have very few options., i guess., i tried registering at gemini and it said , they are not operational in my country., so ill try coinbase. thanks edit: tried coinbase too. Coinbase does not currently support buys in your country. Subscribe to our blog to be notified when we add support for your country! |

Polo has Tether (USDT) which is basically equal to a dollar (it's a lot more complicated than that, but in principle you can redeem 1 tether for $1).
Otherwise on Polo you trade BTC for dozens of other cryptocurrencies. Other exchanges like Coinbase and Gemini allow you to trade Bitcoins into fiat like Dollars.
i don't recall where i read it, but tether value also fluctuates . but not as much as bitcoin. also tether terms and condition says they are not liable for anything , so in short 1 thether can become 10 cents too. |

create offline paper wallet, make its copies., store in bank locker, send to yourself using your own email address as an attachment as photo of paper wallet, enable 2 factor authentication on that email account.
never store funds in online wallet, unless you are day trader, you will never know whicch site when will get hacked.
