Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

I cannae tell whether more people on this thread will die from disappointment if it's successfully contained and burns out or if the disease runs riot and finishes them off in unimaginable horror.

I'm guessing it'll be somewhere around the same.

I wonder how did you arrive at this conclusion?
I don't see anybody cheering for the disease.

Guys, enough dying for today. This is not a death-observer thread. Roll Eyes

btc declined too, but not much, GBTC lost a bit of the premium.
btc actually outperformed most other cryptos.
People were talking about bargains before. It does not feel like buying at the moment.

The monthly update:



The most exciting January since 2014 and a good start in 2020. DCAing still feels comfortable.

However, as some of you gentlemen already pointed out, its nothing like the good old days. I remember times when you came home after work, turned on the GPU Miner for a few hours and of course shut it down before your HODLsleep because of the electricity bill. After this the FPGAs ran 24/7 and you electricitybill went down. The ASICs got a bit boring, too stable for my liking and even the brother-in-law's grandmother had one. Back to the present day... you invest what you can afford by simply buying the corn. Times are changing, as the amount of corn you can accumulate during a specific time frame. Just checked my books and it looks like three days of casual GPU mining are now equal to one month of slavery. Note to myself: when you have to work one year for the same amount, take a longer break from slavery.

...
At least we are learning some German culture in all of this, so there is that.... little side benefit.  
...
No offense, but this sentence is based on so many misconceptions, I don't know where to start. Would be a topic for a separate thread. Wink
For an attempt at clarification, I was NOT at all striving to be disrespectful to German culture or to really say anything about German culture at all except to facetiously respond to what I considered to be the various nonsensical points that Gyrsur was increasingly excitedly spouting about.  

Maybe I should have placed a #nohomo tag in there somewhere in order to indicate that my comments were NOT intended as any kind of literally serious assertion about substance?

Please keep providing you monthly updates.........   #nohomo.....  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I appreciate your answer very much and was unfortunately not able to answer in a timely manner due to a lack of... time. Since the subject is already history, just to clarify, Gyrsur had one or two interesting points, which he might have articulated a bit puzzling and rude. Like the charts, German culture also seems to be changing. To be able to discuss this, it would be necessary to define what German culture was or is. Anyway, as a German, I don't attach much importance to this controversial "culture" topic, try to respect the past, live in the present and hope for the future. It is much more revealing to provide the monthly update than to discuss cultural mental states. We are Satoshi. Smiley

Gentlemen, have a great February!

asian culture has very crowded conditions and abysmal hygiene standards, (spitting everywhere, uncovered sneezes, hacking, washing hands infrequently, etc)

What hole did you crawl out of?
Asians clean their asses with actual water after taking dumps, instead of taking a piece of paper and smearing the shit around.  Have you used a toilet in Southeast Asia?  There's a hose with a spray nozzle.  We expats like to call them "bum guns."  It's fkn great to have a CLEAN ASS.
Asians take their shoes off indoors.
Asians don't go around spitting, sneezing and whatever your perfervid racist imagination requires.  Most of them cover their mouths just to use a toothpick, out of politeness.

Nope, fucking scary actually.
But it seems not Trezors fault, the STM32 micro misbehaves when it is voltage "glitched".
Basically the device is useless as hardware wallet without replacement, except when the seed is protected by a BIP39 passphrase (which is what Kraken recommends as fix/cure).

^ Krakens blog article is really very detailed and well written. You need only a minimal electronic understanding to reproduce the attack. (<- Meaning the crims will be up to speed quickly).

On the positive side, it means that people who have forgotten their trezor pin can now get access to their bitcoins.


Wow.. yeah.. I had not really thought about that angle, until you mentioned it, lightfoot.

 There do seem to be some people that fall into the not remembering their pin camp.  From a few years ago, I can recall reading about examples of people who had been trying for very long periods of time to try to get into their trezors, and apparently, the trezor allows you to guess wrong, but then continues to increase the amount of time that is required before you can try to guess again...   

The ledger nano s was different in that regard because I think that it just locks you out from being able to guess your pin after a few wrong attempts....   so then you have to go to the seed.. so probably you cannot even get the ledger nano s coins if it locks you out... more secure?  perhaps? 

All of those hardware devices seem to have some vulnerabilities if they are in your physical possession, but yeah most of them promote the additional pass phrase as a kind of additional assurance.. but wouldn't you be more fucked if you forgot your additional pass phrase or that feature somehow got messed up in however it is stored through cryptography?

Anyhow, I recall that there were a decent number of people who had been locked out (or separated from their bitcoins) on that basis...   So, those would be examples of people who neither remembered their pins and did not take adequate precautions to back up (or safeguard) their seed phrase.  Funny that it took several years to  figure out this way into the device.. gosh the trezor one has been around since 2013/2014  I believe.  I think that it increased a lot more in adoption around the 2016/2017 price rise, and that is when Ledger Nano S came out.

Pretty much. I remember as a kid when Liberty7 was "lost forever in the depths of the ocean". Then in the late 90's they dropped a hook down, picked it up and that's that.

So if you do lose access to your wallet just put it away, chances are it may be recovered in the future. In terms of the passphrase I don't THINK it is needed if you restore from seed, so as long as you have that somewhere you may be ok. Have to check on that.

The Ledger nano wipes out the memory after the third failed pin attempt. So yeah, it is gone for good... at least in theory.

More secure? Maybe. I have always said in the past that I do like the Ledger architecture more because of their using a Secure element. In that sense it IS more secure. It could have other completely different flaws though.

Also, it is not new that the Trezor can be physically attacked to retrieve the private keys: https://www.wired.com/story/i-forgot-my-pin-an-epic-tale-of-losing-dollar30000-in-bitcoin/

This is all completely unsurprising. Anyways you could always (technically) be able to strip the chip and "read" the internal memory with an "electron microscope" or whatever that's named. It would be extremely costly though and by the time you are done, the rightful owner should have already moved their BTC to a safe address.

Again: Hardware wallets main function is to protect the keys to being exposed to the computer as the signing process is done internally. And to do that in a no-hassle convenient way. Whatever added protection against other type of attacks is just an "extra" feature.

It depends where you go.
I went to the Philippines for three weeks recently. The vast majority of public bathrooms had no soap. I seemed to be the only one washing his hands. This was the case in restaurants as well, so no employees washing their hands with soap after using the bathroom.

If by passphrase you mean the PIN, then yeah, it is not needed as such PIN only gives you access to the seed. Have the seed words... no need for PIN nor Trezor.

But, if it is the additional passphrase... then you need it. It is not stored in the hardware wallet (nor Trezor, nor Ledger) and it is used to derive the seed into a completely different private key. Of course if you got the seed and have some idea of the additional password used, you could try cracking it based on that information.
