Wasn't it H.G. Wells on the Timemachine that described two peoples divided by the intelligence gap?
Actually I don't understand why he was able to do this either. If I was to guess I'd say he just created a new wallet with whatever seed phrase he entered. Correct or am I missing something?
I even heard that all possible seed words have been leaked on GitHub!! 😂
Tell him he was incredibly lucky and no way that works on 24 words
Funny but that show how important education is.
Let's all raid primary school to preech the good faith and teach them young.
Oh, didn’t you know that BIG EDUCATION is the problem!? That kid needs to be unschooled ASAP. If only he had the opportunity to play video games all day would he have the skills needed to fill those two wallets with sats.
We were all noobs at one point.
Yes you are correct. Theoretically there's no such thing as creating wallets, you just pick one randomly and there are soooo many possible combinations that you're probably the first one to come up with that private key.
Gotcha
Just wait until they find out about keys dot lol 😂

just some? 😉
I got to page 13459 and still haven’t found any corn; I knew this bitcoin thing was a scam
Common confusion to think that unschooling means no boundaries.
“Well, my Johnny looooves amphetamines so we’ll wait till this phase ends!”
😂
Maybe my brain isn't fully awake, I don't understand. Sounds bad if people are guessing seeds.
there are so many combinations you can spend your entire life guessing and you will (probably) never find a wallet with funds
that's the strawman version; you wouldn't also let your unschooled kid run into upcoming traffic just because they choose it.
Again, unschooling is about MORE parenting than delegating your parenting to the schooling system. It requires being MORE present, not less.

But they just guessed two of them right?
"guessing" literally means choosing 11 random words (and a checksum word)
the fact it took him 5 minutes to do this twice is concerning; it should take you just a few seconds to write 12 words twice, not minutes! 😂
Every combination is valid so there's no "wrong" guess
> You are the one who keep talking about stuff that would mean that the kid is put in immediate danger - not me. I never said you #unschooling meant “hey my kid might die if they so choose”.
I'm using the extreme examples to show that of course there must be limits to the "the kid chose it" position and that the "whatever the kid wants" has a very real limit.
> However, you could argue that my video-game example is a straw man.
No, some unschoolers *do* consider letting the kid play as much video-games as they choose to be the right approach; I think that's a really terrible idea; video-games can literally be as addictive as meth and most likely those parents wouldn't allow their kids to do meth if they asked for it.
I am not talking about homeschooling; I don't agree with the position of homeschooling.
Any combination of words would result in a wallet. The fact that there are zero transactions shows that it’s not someone else’s wallet.
There's a possibility that someone was dumb and is actually using a seed with a simple repeating spurred or phrase, like "bacon" repeated 12 times results in a valid seed with checksum. I've actually thought of looking for one...
I wonder if this makes any keys viewed by the system insecure. I'm guessing that the keys viewed could easily be added to a list that can get checked. It'd be a huge list and hard to check, but still more efficient than blind guessing.
Oooooh
This makes much more sense. Thank you all.
Thank you!
😂
Probably there are script that run every minute checking this sort of obvious seeds, ready to wipe them
Poor guy came too late. Just downloaded all bitcoins including transaction history through Bitcoin Core and then pulled the plug. Don't even bother to check your wallets #plebs.
We are still so early
bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon
nasty banana nasty banana nasty banana nasty banana nasty banana nasty banana
one two three fork one two three fork one two three fork
etc.
I am sure the checksums aren't all correct on those, but you get the idea.
Aww, bless their heart.
oh honey baby darling that's precious
https://bitcoinmovieenigma.com/ <-- At least try to guess a seed with 100.000 satoshis in it :)
😂
They just need to keep checking those seeds every day until some bitcoin show up. Then they'll be rich!
🤣
It was a little while for me to realize how seed words are generated randomly. There are no accounts. No third party controlling or issuing the keys.
