    Not your keys, not your Bitcoin

    Posted: 08 Dec 2018 04:37 PM PST

    Get all of your bitcoin off coinbase or whatever exchange you use! Secure it however you want! Just get your bitcoin off of exchanges!

    NOT YOUR KEYS NOT YOUR BITCOIN!

    If you have an amount lingering on an exchange please deposit it somewhere else. Secure it on an offline device or whatever you prefer. The less bitcoin on exchanges the better.

    Bullish for Bitcoin: Kremlin tells Russian banks to prepare for disconnection from international payment systems (From r/worldnews front page).

    PSA: books like "The Bitcoin Standard" (S. Ammous) and "The Internet Of Money" (A. Antonopoulos) are available in non-english languages. Links to Spanish, Turkish, Russian, Korean, Vietnamese, French and other versions inside.

    If you are looking for a good introductory book on the subject of bitcoin to give a friend/a relative, as a Christmas present or just because they might be interested, or because they have been curious about bitcoin already and you want to give them a good first insight into the bitcoin space: there are a few options in other languages than English available.

    I'm not affiliated with any of those and the Amazon links aren't ref links, even though there's "ref" in their URL's (not sure why Amazon does this).

    "The Bitcoin Standard" by Saifedean Ammous:

    English

    Turkish

    Spanish

    Korean

    (Russian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Croatian, French versions coming in the future as well)

    "The Internet Of Money" by Andreas Antonopoulos:

    English version Vol I and Volume II

    Spanish

    Vietnamese

    French

    Korean

    Portuguese

    Russian

    On that note, also don't forget that bitcoin.org is available in a plethora of languages as well, and there you can find a lot of introductory, basic content to reference people to.

    [LN Giveaway] Claim your 500 sats at tippin.me!

    Hey all! To remember good old times, and following the nice initiative made with lntipbot, I'm giving away 500 sats for the first 500 users who request it, using Lightning Network :)

    ​

    I launched tippin.me a few days ago, a Lightning Network Tipping service that allows you to receive micro-payments (tips) without setting up a node. I'm doing it to push LN adoption until we get nice user-friendly wallets.

    ​

    A couple of days ago, I introduced a Javascript button pointing to your tippin wallet. You can integrate it in your own web to get LN tips :D

    ​

    The button in action

    ​

    HOW TO CLAIM IT

    1. Login (or Signup) at tippin.me
    2. Go to https://tippin.me/giveaway and claim it :)

    Thank you for your support!

    Keiser Report: Hold On To Your Private Keys (E1316)

    Posted: 08 Dec 2018 04:30 PM PST

    I just lost my $170K wallet secure your wallets

    Posted: 08 Dec 2018 08:02 PM PST

    It's not a joke. You don't realize shit happens until it happens don't be that guy in my position. Please copy your backup codes and secure your wallet it's not a good feeling

    It's not even about losing 170K it's about losing a wallet with that much money in BTC. It's there but you cannot use it. When I start seeing the price go up is when it's going to piss me off

    40% reward to person that finds a way or gives me an idea to restoring the wallet. Read bottom of post.

    Story:

    I had purchased a new 27 inch iMac for our new office. I later got so much negative feedback about how it was just too big for my desk and that a MacBook would be better.

    Anyway after completing my new office I decided to go on holiday for a week which was fun but had this bad feeling I don't know why.

    I got back to my office and decided I would take a trip to London as there was a super car conference (I'm into cars). I then decided to go clothes shopping as clothes are a lot cheaper in my home country. I decided going to the fancy mall near by. I then bumped into the Apple store I bought my iMac from and asked an employee if I could swap it they said no. I'd have to return it first. I thought it would be late now because it had been a while. We looked it up and it was the 14th day of purchase, the employee told me I had 4 hours to return it so I quickly ran home and brought the iMac back.

    My wallet was newly transferred onto a Blockchain wallet created on the iMac after I had an incident with an offline wallet and got scared. I used auto generate password by apple with no iCloud to backup the keychain. When creating it i took a screenshot on the iMac of the recovery phrase which is also now gone.

    I realized at night and called Apple all over the world to try and find somebody that could help. I went to the store 2 hours before it opened Incase there was a delivery van taking the products back to China which is the procedure I was informed by the employee on the phone. The Apple store finally opened, the manager went to check and informed me it was formatted as it's the standard return- refund procedure.

    Fucked

    Bitcoin recovery companies?

    Those companies try brute forcing into your wallet offline. It's only and mainly mostly possible if you remember your password and are sure it's just a typo mistake. Example: your idea of the password: Password2019. Real password: Passsword2019

    It would take an average of 100 years from my research to brute force into my own wallet. Correct me if I'm wrong

    Questions: just making sure,

    If a new device doesn't have iCloud Keychain installed does the Mac OS still recommend a generated password?

    Apples regular password generation function:

    Aa8-by9-ANk-999

    Is this really that hard to brute force offline?

    Does browsers such as safari or chrome sync the passwords too? Or is it just keychain.

    If anybody has any other ideas to possibly gain access please do contact me. You will be rewarded 40% on success

    Help for my full node - 60 connections from the same bitconj IP

    Posted: 09 Dec 2018 04:41 AM PST

    Hi there! I run bitcoin core from a couple of weeks and I have a doubt about an Ip that is connected to me from yesterday, iptracker say it's from Beijing.

    Usually I have 50/60 different peer connections , but now I see that I have 96 total connections, with 60 peer with the same address running bitcoinj.

    Looking at the details of the peer, first of all I see, while being connected for 24 hours, they all have sent and received only 1 MB.

    The other strange thing is that, unlike the others "normal" nodes I have on which I see this for example

    ​

    39.104.xxx.xx:49194 (id nodo: 29173)

    via 2.230.xxx.xxx:8333

    ​

    where the first is the peer connected and the second my Ip, with the incriminated node I see this

    ​

    47.106.143.234:49285 (id nodo: 26494)

    via 127.0.0.1:8333

    ​

    Why is the only I see connected via 127.0.0.1? Instead all the others I see go through my public IP.

    ​

    Some ideas?

    Maybe I'm making problems for nothing but I'm moving my first steps so I have to learn a lot!
