and so you see, even if the applicability of the blockchain is reduced to under one part per trillion, its vibrational presence means i can still scam you

Ugh, there are a whole bunch of local bitcoiners, some of which I’ve met irl. Look at this sausagefest. https://twitter.com/bitcoinorghk/status/1112294504759848961?s=21 Here, a dude converts money he can spend, into “money” he cannot. Currency of the future, folks. https://twitter.com/bitcoinorghk/status/1112294787585982465?s=21

It’s crazy how these Bitcoin conferences almost never have any vendors... because it’s so hard to reasonably exchange goods and services for Bitcoin.

My neighbor is a retired engineer who was disabled due to health issues. While talking to him about how I use computing clusters for research, he asked me if I could help him. Apparently in 2012, he bought thousands of dollars of bitcoins and put it in his wallet on a USB (no idea how this works). Anyway, after a nasty divorce and him having to leave, he kept the USB but lost the seed used to generate it. He wanted to know if I could crack the wallet so he can recover the money. I feel so bad for him since it's lost forever, right?

The wallet is just the key necessary to unlock the transactions you can spend to buy CP and drugs. That means that it is perfectly possible to steal butts from somebody who has the best birdbath-secured offline wallet; that is what these guys do (though the project seems as dead as anything else crypto 6 months after the press release). It also means there is a chance of unlocking your neighbour's wallet, but it depends on what exactly is stored and what he lost. Probably not, though. The transaction part is based on real cryptography and therefore more vulnerable to the $5 wrench attack than anything you can do with computers. Except threaten to dump a very large server on their head unless they tell you the password.

Does anyone have that bizarre crypto propaganda ad about the dude running the bitcoin lemonade stand where 95% of it sounds like a logical treatise on why crypto is loving awful but at the end it's like "and we cut to five years later where all of these problems with bitcoin have been magically solved and lemonade guy is a jillionaire babe magnet because he HODL'D, get rekt haterz"? It makes scientology look downright rational.

I don't understand exactly, and I don't think he knows either. From what I gather, he said he lost the seed used to generate the wallet, so I'm assuming it's some 128-bit random key used to access the wallet right? So if that's lost, the wallet is useless outside of brute forcing it open. That said, I have no idea how he get bitcoins into his wallet in the first place since he didn't mine it, and he said he has never cashed out/doesn't know how, so it's also possible that his coins are on some exchange that went belly up years ago. I just feel bad for him because his reason for touching the butts was that he hated the banks/banking system that caused the financial crash, and how nothing happened to them in the aftermath. That, combined with having a chronic condition that insurance wouldn't touch resulted in him completely losing everything. I've seen way too many of my friends getting into crypto and getting demolished. I feel like Cassandra because every time I try to point out it's a scam, no one believes me, including my own brother. He bought at the height of it last year and lost everything.

Or he misinterpreted, as people often do, the human-readable form of the key as a seed. Such as the keys generated by Electrum, which are then told you as a string of nouns. But the key is still generated randomly, and not from a user-specified seed, because that would be terrible for security.

Bitcoin wallets are uniquely terrible while also presenting themself as just another asset, so why shouldn't an old man ask his neighbor who's good at computers to fix his lost Bitcoin key.

zedprime posted:If you store your cash in a mattress that catches on fire you can possibly redeem it as mutilated currency with the feds. Cash is more fully featured for accidental destruction than Bitcoin because it's partly socialized and not beep boop the robot can't help you without a key. But if you put all your cash in a safe and throw away the key and drop it in the ocean it's lost for good, even if you kept the receipts

Throwing a safe into the ocean, driving your car into a volcano, blowing up your house with natural gas, opening a Bitcoin wallet without understanding cryptologic transactions. 4 activities with equal intent and purpose.

Ernst & Young have released their Fourth Report as Monitor in the not-a-bankruptcy. It's 200+ pages. They are pissed. In a very  way, you understand.
