Legitimately the book about dreadpirate and silk road is magical, well worth the read. Even the small humizing attempts on Ross at the start are then completely overshadowed by how he went full on evil calling for murders (and falling for the fake hitman ads lol)

Mind you that was the literal loner basement dweller who was a moderator on silk road and got punched by the FBI, and then had his account stolen by force who stole bitcoins, then tricked the dude into going into a fake murder plot. Dude was fake beat to poo poo then murdered all to make Carl's online ego seem more real after Carl stole the bitcoins lol.

It just occurred to me that if vanity addresses are generated in a deterministic way by iterating through the list of keys until it finds a match, the similar first and last digits social engineering attack can itself be exploited: Somebody can passively monitor for new addresses that are similar to existing ones being loaded up with the pocket change used for the attack and if they spot one, plug those criteria into the vanity address generator and get access the same address and instantly swipe any funds acquired by a successful attack as soon as they come in. I wonder

There's no iteration, it's just throwing a random number into the keypair generator and seeing if it spits out what they want. If it does, hooray; if not, throw out and start again To answer the inevitable followup question, yes, landing on an original wallet would net thousands of btc and nothing would stop you from moving it. There are undoubtedly asics that exist to try to create hash collisions, but that same tech is also valuable outside the butt world and would be government-level secret if shortcuts were found Sentient Data fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Aug 7, 2023 |

I heard the Server can Remote-Execute Code on my Client? WTF? Yes, the server can do that and the server uses that only for client consistency checks and dealing with client inconsistencies. Despite security-experts turning blue in their face, this is actually a security feature: namely security of the server and validity of the data sent to the server. In order to ensure this data consistency in this specific use case, the server has to have the power to execute turing-complete checks on clients to trust them. As proof of validity, the client submits itself to the server. Let us rephrase it in simple terms: If you want to board a plane, for the planes' - and thus also your security, you have to undergo certain scanning procedures and comply to restrict some of your freedom or you will not board that plane. Same story.

Yes, this project is dedicated to finding a new, innovative way to steal from people. Yes, taking part does require you to install a rootkit on your computer on our behalf. What’s with that look? Don’t you want to take part in the perfect crime and prove how much of a smartboy computer whiz you are?

ymgve posted:wrong There was a case in China a few years back where some guy hired a hitman for some sizable amount of cash, then the hitman hired another hitman to do the job for him, and then that hitman hired a third hitman and so on until the last hired hitman called the target of the hit and asked if he wouldn't mind pretending to be dead for a while so they could split the money. I don't think cryptocurrency was involved in this case, but if it wasn't it should've been.

Yuan, not won. Although that would be another layer of comedy as one million won is like £600.

I loved the early bitcoin wallet program that used a random website to get their random numbers, and the site owner blocked them, so there was a period where all the wallets were made using the completely random number 503.

So I got sucked into the rabbit hole on behindmlm.com website and it's pretty amazing how some of the perps behind the pyramid schemes - and occasionally the victims - comment on the articles getting real mad at the author for calling them scams.
