For anyone of the paranoid variety assuming the attacks were Bitcoin specific. View quoted note →

The format and contents of the file were unknown to anyone but Luke until after the reveal. The purpose of the hash isn't to keep a secret but to ensure file integrity. A salt serves no purpose in this use case. Consider wisely if this is the guy you want holding such a key role to securing your savings.

Sooo, miners aren't mining the bip110 fork because it costs too much relative to potential rewards. The big brain solution, new proof of work algorithm that requires a capex for new asics in addition to the opex of electricity. The only viable solutions are RandomX, the Monero CPU bound algorithm, or a hard coded sha256 difficulty drop and crossing your fingers people don't fire up a ton of outdated Bitcoin miners and 51% attack you. The fact that they aren't seriously considering the fact that buying new asics is a barrier doesn't look good at all.

Only Luke knows the mapping, verified he didn't change it after the fact by a file hash. So, who is going to point hash at testnet4 to make sure he doesn't rig it by mining the block himself? I bet the block is going land REAL close to that clock time. View quoted note →

The internet gives us a strange window into other people's internal state. Kinda crazy to watch other people develop an obsession that takes them across the line to delusion or mental illness in real time. Terrifying because I'm prone to obsessive behavior and it has definitely happened to me before. Mental illness is often a temporary state. People can and do get better from obsession driven bouts of mental illness. As someone who has experience with this, regular contact with people who treat you like a human being is critical to the path back. We, myself included, should keep that in mind when we run into people who are having a hard time. There is plenty of reason for their struggles in the Bitcoin space lately.

Remember when I called Luke a liar for saying it was a soft fork and I got attacked by supporters who told me I didn't understand Bitcoin? I remember.

Weeks of GPU time to enumerate the wallets ahead of time. We know the wallets were enumerated in advance because the thefts happened in chunks. Never let a good story ruin your knowledge of facts. Maybe it was an older model, maybe a manual hack or an inside job. It is extremely unlikely it was k3. View quoted note →
