I'm helping out a Nigerian Prince who is struggling to access his finances.
He's going to put it into my account and leave me a share when he takes it out.

And presumably married to Nicole from the NBN.

Elon was a dunce.
His whole business model is based on green energy and renewables. Mining crypto uses ALOT of electricity. So much that it made no sense for him to get into that.

Re: General Discussions - LP - 06-08-2021
And so ends the reign of cryptocurrency.
US seizes $2.3 million Colonial Pipeline paid to ransomware attackers
Funds seized after Justice Department IDs Bitcoin wallet and obtains its private key.
Once the US Feds have done this once, they can do it again anywhere, anytime and to anybody!

And pretty to watch. Hope millions get burnt.

Just to find somebody they had to crack encryption, but just like Enigma during the WW-II they'll claim they captured the data they needed.
Now they can just sit and watch and make notes before acting at will, in a manner that just looks like bad luck to the targets. Like Germany thinking it's U-Boats missing transport ships was just down to weather patterns and coincidence.
For popular Apps there is a fundamental problem with all encryption, the more you use it the more vulnerable it is as every message and file is a hint to how to unravel it!
Re: General Discussions - Thryleon - 06-08-2021
I dont think you understand encryption and private keys very well LP.
Irrespective, quantum computing is likely the reason they could crack the encryption. What previously took years will take minutes.
Thats why you wont find out how they cracked it.

Certain points values can overflow which becomes a tell for cryptographers, this can also be device dependant, with various platforms having different weakness. It's no different to when Diffie-Hellman was cracked, that wasn't brut force it was a math issue with digital systems. Collect enough data and these regular patterns of conversion between analogue math and digital algorithms becomes more obvious as artefacts in the data.

So I wouldn't ignore the possibility that authorities might be able to seed the ledger with certain data and from that derive some critical knowledge of the blockchain. Not much different in method to how Turing and others broke Enigma and Lorenz. I appreciate it's a bigger problem, but it's not beyond state level actors.

Sorry mate. You cant simplify it like this without an inherent understanding of exactly how it operates.
FYI, I am doing a Cyber security course right now and we have looked at hashing, salting, how it works, and that it is very much a one way function involving private and public keys.
As for my trust in bitcoin, I have none, I am/have purchasing/purchased none, and quantum computing, will render it worthless, because what takes years to create on the blockchain, will take minutes to solve on a quantum computer.
Have a go at this for a bit and think about what I am saying.
