If you're only going to use bitcoin in name, then you can probably set the stakes higher: it's the central server for a bitcoin exchange, it's an access node for a high-volume bitcoin tumbler that is normally autonomous (that's a favorite thing among bitcoiners, autonomous services that run like magic), it's the final resting place for Satoshi's documents (Praise Be Unto His Trillions of Evergrowing Teeth) which may contain the key to his enormous stash. Lots of IT fuckery that you can loop bitcoin in and make it both plausible and not actually have to touch the poop.

Make it a PAYDAY 2 style mission with the bad guys wear clown masks while breaking in and letting the computer run the transfers as SEC agents also try breaking in to arrest or kill them during a clusterfuck of a shootout.

Dramatic zoom of a shot and dying agent slumping over the pc seeing the bar finally fill up to 100% and "transaction complete!" flashing on the screen with the hacker dropping an amazing "Now what are you going to block, Chain?" before racking a pistol slide and hard cutting to the next scene.

Something tells me the project's budget would leave them better off making this a Payday 2 machinima.

Someone hacks into a bitcoiner's computer and causes it to mine bitcoins at such a rate that it overheats his room and he dies of heatstroke.

Note: if you want this to be vaguely plausible then the victim has to have a ridiculous setup where they have lots and lots of mining computers in the room. Better and funnier to wind the pedants up by making it wildly unrealistic - have it be a single desktop computer that overheats the room. Be sure to have a scene where investigators "simulate" what happened on his computer and have them say lines like, "the hashrate of his CPU... it's off the charts!!"

do it mad mad world style where the bit coiners are all after satoshi's trove but instead of finding out there's nothing, they all just die in increasingly contrived ways, and not even at the hands of criminals. like one is on a plane going to wherever he thinks the giant S is, but he mugs at the camera and states, i don't need to put my phone in airplane mode, i'm a bitcoiner :smug:

and then searching for the signal for twelve hours overheats the phone and it explodes in his pants. very gory. but the hero bitcoiner notices the newly dead guy has his btc wallet and decryption key sticking out of his carry on.....

The murderer discovers the victim's address* by monitoring the transactions to a cutting-edge bitcoin mixer on the darknet. they quickly hack the victim's phone and call it, then cause it to explode when they lift the phone to answer.

Make sure the murderer is seen looking at a screen like the matrix or some poo poo as they narrow down the address

* specifically their address. not their phone number

The murderer meets the victim in a McDonald's under the pretext that he is going to buy the victim's bitcoins. He instead uses it as an opportunity to proselytize to the victim about how he should not sell his bitcoins, because they will go to the moon. The victim storms out of the restaurant and across the street, but is run down (apparently accidentally) by a car driven by the murderer's accomplice

The vault contains an airgapped laptop, it’s ethernet and usb ports sloppily covered with super glue. It was this ultra secured machine that was used to discretely generate the private key capable of unlocking a bitcoin hoard

In what is an otherwise largely spartan room, there are used tissues strewn about, prompting one protagonist to quip that the place seemed more suited to airfapping than airgapping

The laptop itself is password protected but brute forceable, with the list of near infinite possible combinations vastly narrowed by knowing an obscure detail about the criminal’s past life. Once it is brute forced and local access is obtained, the protagonists find a misleadingly named file containing the original seed value for the private key, which they are able to reuse on the same machine to create their own clone key to use as they wish.

Exfiltration of the key is frustrated, as all ports are sealed and there is a hosed up refresh rate / screen cover preventing photography. One protagonists realizes that they’ll need to painstakingly write out the 256 character key by hand, without a single transcription error, but he/she is soon interrupted in the process as protagonist two rips the laptop from its cradle, tucking it under his arm

They uncover cp in the process and are forever scarred by the incident. In the end, they walk away extranational millionaires but kill themselves due to the guilt of profiting from an ecosystem tailored to the exploitation of minors

Have one guy get murdered with cutlery with the line "Talk about a hard fork"

Have another guy who we thought was murdered suddenly show up alive saying "Always wait for six confirmations"

e: Have another guy be hanging on to something high and then let go and fall to his death and someone quips "He should have hodled"

The first three are things I would find amusing. The last three are things bitcoiners would find amusing.

The Bitcoin Heist movie has already been made! Here's the trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqYPZi1u-XM

The movie itself gets ratings around 2.5 stars out of 5, so the trailer probably contains literally the best sixty seconds of the whole thing.

The unsubtitled Vietnamese original is up on YouTube, you could download a subtitle file if you have too much time on your hands. At least it's well photographed.

Okay, I think I cracked what could happen in the movie:

1. The heist takes place in a Bitcoin exchange. As these places are known to be shady, this particular one sells itself on its unhackable security.

2. As such, the criminals need to break in by force in order to physically intimidate some high-up employees into helping them rob the place, as the 'hack' can only be done with official authorisation from inside the building.

3. Their aim is to make all transactions in a certain period (including a very large one they know is happening) secretly feed into their wallet rather than the intended recipient.

4. That wallet's login details are encrypted with a 128-bit key, and the decryption details are on a memory card that can be fought over as the movie goes on.
