Most people have their seed written in a piece of paper somewhere. Or just written in a file on their PC. A few have it stamped into metal plates on a safe. None of these are secure or durable from the perspective of data security. A few people take it a bit further, and have 16/24 words stored in 3 locations, so any 2 of the 3 will give the full seed. A little better, but still laughable in the data security world. --- But security/durability aside, the bigger concern is that most people are not tech savvy and don't really understand crypto, and are prone to making mistakes. I've seen endless posts of "I've never thought itd happen to me..." of people losing all they're crypto to scams/phishing/losing their seed. People also highly overestimate how smart they are, and think they will not be the idiot to make a mistake. --- A reputable exchange offers very good protections. 2FA. Timed account lock on setting changes. Whitelisted withdraw addresses. Etc. These features do a very good job at protecting people. A reputable exchange (in my eyes) has never had issues. The problem, I suppose, is that most people are unable to discern which exchanges are trustworthy. But just use Coinbase. --- My personal approach is having my encrypted keys stored online. Start with a freshly formatted raspberry pi. Never connect it to the internet. Generate seed on that. Put that seed into an encrypted archive (with a strong password i will never forget and don't have written anywhere). Copy that encrypted archive onto a flash drive and then store it everywhere and anywhere. It's in my email. On my PC. In my families email. On google drive. Etc. Encryption is secure. Digital files are more durable. I can also access it from anywhere in the world if i really need it. But I won't need it. I have the seed input onto multiple cold wallets, in different locations. So the likelihood I'll ever need to access my seed again is low. No one is ever accessing my seed, even if i send them the encrypted file.

I had the exact same issue with Bitcoin Core. I was trying to run a local node on my PC. The first 80% downloaded very quickly - 5-6% per hour. When it reached 80%, it slowed down to like 0.03% progress per hour. I tried starting over, but same issue the second time. I ended up just uninstalling that garbage. I am planning to set up a home server here soon, and will definitely be running something like Bitcoin Knots instead.

For me, the most secure way is using an engraved steel plate and a Raspberry Pi (or another PC without internet) plus Electrum. So this is the basic idea: 1. Take your offline PC, which will never connect to the internet (neither the light nor the darkness). 2. Install Electrum on it using a USB device. 3. Generate a seed. 4. Engrave the seed on the steel plate. 5. Generate the wallet on Electrum based on that seed. 6. Get your public keys or the addresses from this wallet and save them on the USB. 7. Import these public keys or addresses into a watch-only Electrum wallet on an online PC so you can monitor your coins. 8. Store the steel plate in a safe place. Optional: * Make the wallet multi-signature. * Encrypt the wallet with a password and store the password separately from your seed. I know this process is long and seems awful, but personally, I don't trust private companies to store my bitcoins, and software updates could be a problem in the future (this happened to me with the Ledger Nano).

Crypto is by far the number one way to make money. You just need to be smart about it and invest in projects that have a great deal of value but are simply undervalued. The Warren Buffet principle holds true in crypto as long as you know what to look for. Bitcoin is the leading proof of work layer 1. Will it stand the test of time? Maybe, but other proof of work layer 1 blockchains with superior tech will surely take a piece of its market share as crypto adoption grows. The key with crypto as with any industry is to envision where we’ll be in five years and work backwards. Yahoo was the leading search engine for years before Google came about. Things happen when you least expect them to. Apple computers used to be dismissed by the mainstream as a computer for artists. If you wanted to do something professional, the PC reigned supreme. Remember what is in today will be gone tomorrow. The static nature of the present moment is an illusion. The world is evolving quicker than we can even think. Crypto will replace fiat currency as we know it within ten years. The next few years are gonna be pretty wild.

Yes, it's my mishap for leaving my coins on Coinbase, I wasn't negligence. I followed protocol However, I do have 2FA, and google authenticator. In addition, I do not use PC/laptop to access my account. In fact, Coinabse stated they can see the hacker used a laptop, IP address, and the location of which the hacking took place, and since they were able to access my account they're not responsible.  Is there any reputable attorney that can help me litigate without charging 1/3 of my account???????

Mentions:#PC

I mean you are the one leaving coin on an Exchange, negligence one. Two, you are saying that they can see everything about the breach. That means that the account was breached and used elsewhere, again this would be negligence on you for not securing the account enough. Now if you had 2FA configured and the "hacker" was able to access the account, this would be the closest that we can put negligence on CoinBase but even then it could be a breach on your PC/Phone and browser tokens were stolen which leads back to negligence on your part. You explain nothing about the level of your account security and just blame coinbase. To me it really sounds like you were at fault and the root issue is that you left your coins on somthing that you do not manage.

The simple answer is that it's up to the validators. The long answer is that mining nodes invest considerable capital into hardware and electricity and that various mining pools know how much BTC they need to earn in order to break even. When a miner proposes a new block, it's the result of considerable computing power and it's not possible to shortcut generating a new block. Validators have it comparatively easy. An average PC can do it and can do it very fast. Once enough validating nodes accept the new block it becomes part of the blockchain and all the next blocks include a validation of previous blocks. If miners try to force a change to the rules (say, increasing the number of bitcoins to 50 million), validators can easily say "no" and reject the invalid blocks. And the miners who proposed the invalid blocks are going to start losing money, fast, unless they play by the established rules.

You need 3 things; money, an exchange account, and a wallet. Since you already have some bitcoin, you must already have an exchange account. But guessing by your level of knowledge, you likely don't have a proper wallet. If you do need an exchange, and are located in the US, sign up for the Strike app. It's solid. Wallets should be; Open source bitcoin-centric (not shitcoin) mobile apps or hardware devices. Not PC apps, as PCs are not secure. Start with Green Wallet from Blockstream. You'll find it in the app store for your phone. Create a new wallet, and you'll be asked to write down 12 or 24 words. This is your private key, a very large number (in word form for your convenience) that is unique in the universe. Write it on paper, no photos, no digital copies. Hackers cannot steal what isn't digital. When you get to a few thousand $ worth, buy a hardware wallet. Jade from Blockstream or ColdCard from CoinKite are my recommendations. Then just buy what you can comfortably afford on the exchange, and withdraw it to your wallet in not-small chucks (if you're buying $20 at a time, wait until you have a couple hundred dollars or so before withdrawing.. this is to minimize loss via future transaction fees). Keep track of the price on a site like [bitbo.io](http://bitbo.io) Ask any questions you have in r/bitcoinbeginners And get ready to have your attitudes towards saving and your future shift dramatically. Bitcoin is hope.

> Average "solo miners" certainly find a block less than every 5 months. How much do you need to spend to on average create your own Bitcoin block twice a year? > the beauty of PoW is that it doesn't matter how much coin you already have, you can't exert more control over the network Except that 'coin' is obviously exchangeable for ASICs, so you can abstract all of that away. The richer you are the more ASICs you can buy and so the more BTC you can mine, just like Proof of Stake where the richer you are the more ETH you can buy and so the more you can stake. And that's not even accounting for the fact that PoW mining benefits from economies of scale, so if you are wealthy enough move and buy land to to set up a facility somewhere with cheap power then you can earn much higher rate of returns than someone without the initial capital to do so. With PoS, everyone gets basically the same rate of return. > unless you're actually willing to do the work You realize that PoW doesn't involve much actual 'work' right? I used to mine back when GPUs were still viable, and it literally involved plugging them in and running a program... no more work than upgrading a PC. From a human perspective, PoW just requires money. > This is the difference between a plutocracy and a meritocracy... What 'meritocracy' are you referring to?

> I am using the header info for BTC block 277316. Where do I get the message length for this block? Is it the tx_count, size or weight? None of the above. The message length is just the number of *bits* (before appending the first "1" for the padding). SHA256 is an industry standard hashing algorithm. It doesn't care what data you're hashing - it might be a bitcoin block header, it might be a website password, it might be a random file on your PC. There's a good explanation here: https://medium.com/bootdotdev/how-sha-2-works-step-by-step-sha-256-90ecd4f09e4d mempool.space has a useful option to get the block header. e.g. to get the header of block 277316, go to the url: https://mempool.space/api/block/0000000000000001b6b9a13b095e96db41c4a928b97ef2d944a9b31b2cc7bdc4/header ...which gives (hex): 0200000069054f28 012b4474caa9e821 102655cc74037c41 5ad2bba702000000 000000002ecfc74c eb512c5055bcff7e 57735f7323c32f8b bb48f5e96307e526 8c001cc93a09be52 0ca3031988261c37 After hashing this with SHA256 *twice*, you should get (hex): c4bdc72c1bb3a944 d9f27eb928a9c441 db965e093ba1b9b6 0100000000000000 ...which can be confirmed here: https://emn178.github.io/online-tools/double_sha256.html ..and this is the correct hash (in reverse byte order because big/little endian is always a pain).

re:"Why does the pc software always want me to enter the passphrase on the PC?" I don't know about the new Safe 3/5 models; but the older Model One needed the passphrase to be entered on Trezor Suite; while the Model T had the choice of that or entering on the device itself. This latter option is more difficult; but also more secure. (keyloggers). I use long passphrases; I won't enter them on a computer. I now use Jade and BitBox 02 devices. I use them both on Sparrow Wallet which might provide an extra layer of security. The Jade took some getting used to. The lever arm seemed finicky; but once I got used to it, it provides a relatively quick means of entering long passphrases. The only faster method would be a full digital keypad. Coldcard Q has this; but I don't have one. Keystone also has one; but for some reason it requires double entry of passphrase each time; so that's too much for me. I don't use my Trezor Model T any more; any will likely not get another Trezor device. The default 20 word seed phrase SLIP39 feature is, AFAIK, only used by Trezor; so that's not something I'm comfortable with. I'm not expert, but ... re: 12 vs 24 word seed phrases, I use both. But (also AFAIK) the entropy of a passphrase is not affected by the choice of seed phrase. i.e. the same strong passphrase would have the same entropy on a 12 or 24 word seed phrase. So if only a small amount of BTC is kept on the standard wallet, and the majority on passphrase-protected wallet(s) then I'm good with that. For passphrase strength: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhjq_1J0EbU

get a wallet. Not your keys, not your coins. To explain a bit further: bitcoin is suposed to be a trustless system. You are in full control of BTC in your own wallet, if you want to spend it on something or donate to someone, you sign the transaction and it gets broadcasted into the network. As long as your BTC sit on the exchange where you bought it, you need to trust the company running that exchange, just as you trust your bank to keep care of your account. With cash, it's obvious: you have total control over the dollar bills in your wallet. You don't have total control over your bank account, escpacially in case your bank goes bankrupt. With bitcoin, it's exactly the same. The difference is, banks are more strictly regulated than crypto exchanges, so bank customers losing all access to their accounts is more rare than FTX or MtGox style events in the crypto space. The difference between hot wallets and cold wallets is, a hot wallet is what you carry on yourself all the time, and a cold wallet is what you store in the safe at home. Just as you can get mugged on the street while carrying some thousand bucks, you can get malware on the PC with your hot wallet. Thus, an exchange account on coinbase or kraken is where you buy, sell and speculate, a hot wallet on your PC is where you can have some cash for direct "buy for bitcoin" purchases, and a cold wallet is for store-of-value purposes.

The people I talk to on a day to day have a fucking scooby about how to use a PC to do their job trust them to buy a sketchy wallet or get scammed. This is why big investment money has had to come in and buy up fucking billions worth on BTC as of recent to keep the BTC ball rolling because the powers that be have realized that the average person ain't gonna just ape into Bitcoin given what's happened to it image wise. Too many people have been burned.

Some milestones if you want to go further: - Run Bitcoin core (bitcoind) on the CLI instead of the GUI application. - Run Bitcoin on a dedicated (24/7) PC, you can managed it via SSH, which is why you'd want to try running it via CLI first. - Run an electrum server (like electrs or fulcrum), this allows you to connect many wallets like Electrum, Sparrow or Specter wallet on PC, or Android wallets like Bluewallet or Nunchuk when you're connected over WiFi from your phone.

You are correct, the first pools didn't start until late 2010 maybe i got the date wrong. I took a Big L a few times on the Corn. I remember because I was deployed in a certain part of the world at that time. Within a 2 year window of 09-11. Also having a crappy Macbook and begging my roommate to let me use their PC to mine because they were only using it to play WoW. I have a few of those stories. Dont remember the specific pool but they had grown to the point where they didnt want to control to much of the Hash to influence the network. I gain nothing by saying how much I lost just fun to remember the times. I also fell asleep reading the Internet of Money on a Train in Paris when it came out. But if you want to Carmen San Diego my ass then so be it.

parents would cry "electricity costs!" just by seeing the LEDs on the PC shining, even after you turnt of the monitor. My mom is in her 80ies and to this day feels uncomfortable having the internet router running at night. Simply, because before VOIP, her telephone didn't need lights.

The cost of running the PC all day still counts as electricity cost... Not my fault if you don't understand that... Lol 😂. I agree it had no guaranteed value n therefore I didn't even want an extra $5 monthly increase in electric bill as a broke college student. Hopefully you made it big in Bitcoin!

And if you are salaried that means 24/7. And even if not, if you sent an email about it during working hours, used a work PC to mine BTC, posted on a message base about it, they have a claim. They also have a million times the lawyer power over any employee.

if I'm in your position right now I will install all related software (OS, libraries, Bitcoin Core etc) with the same release of your wallet version (2011). I'll refactore related Bitcoin Core (version 0.3.24) codes to be vulnerable against padding oracle and timing attack. utilize existing OpenSSL exploit (that was released around 2011). when the build success activate the RPC (bind 0.0.0.0) in your bitcoin.conf file. prepase another laptop or PC, install it with BlackArch Linux. utilize this laptop to perform padding oracle & timing attack against the PC where your bitcoin node deployed. this approach required intermediate skill in the field of software engineering and pentesting. if you don't have any experience at all it will be take time to learn this approach.

Well said! The only example in the fiat world that comes close is the PC industry. They keep getting better and better for less and less each year. I guess this concept would be applied to every sector in a world where the money supply isn’t increasing.

Vertcoin has already existed since 2014 which you can do mining with your PC using a stupid and simply software called One-ClickMiner while playing a game without fps drops...unfortunately no one remembers it but it still exists and it's still working...there is no need for these new gurus...they are reinventing what already exists...

From my own experience the most important here is chainstate since that's the most computational KY expensive thing to calculate there, with a copy of the chainstate doing the IBD would take as long as your internet needs to instead of as long as your PC can calculate the UTXO set. Just info for those who want to have a full and a pruned node but don't want to go through the whole process two times ;)

I didn't know it was much faster on a decent PC. I am using an external SSD on the Pi, I guess I will disconnect it from the Pi and use my desktop to download the blockchain. Once it is finished, I will let it run on the Pi. I guess this should speed things up then...

I personally think in 2030-2040 BTC will be worth $1m, simply because crypto mining will become as popular as gaming, so trillions will go into the "crypto" industry. It will simply become spend $3-5k on a PC with multiple graphics cards, mine some meme coin or use it for AI, and HODL then 5 years later said coin will 10-100x, easy profit. People will always FOMO and start buying in cash, but the real winners are those who use hardware to mine the coins, the best part is people who are 16-30 now will in 20-10 years have a massive head start in trying to own a house and becoming actually wealthy

Ugh. Bad advice. Do not use bare desktop wallets without a hardware device. If you have malware, you can lose your stack. Do not keep your private key on a computer. Yes, that is how core worked, and some people do this successfully, but there is obvious risk and one must take significant precaution that the OS remains sterile. If you're up to that task and willing to accept that risk, fine. But advising it to random people on the internet with unknown PC hygine? Please don't.

you don't need a hardware wallet to have a cold wallet, some old PC disconnected from the internet also works. In that case, you have wallet software like e.g. electrum on both the disconnected (cold) and your connected (hot) PC, but only the software on the "cold" PC has your private key. You use the private key on the "cold" PC to generate a public key, export that one to a USB stick, walk over to the "hot" PC, import the key, and you can use the wallet software on the "hot" PC to generate addresses that can receive BTC. If you want to spend BTC, it gets a bit tricky: you use your "hot" PC to check your balance, create a transaction to the address you want to pay to, export the transaction to your USB, walk over to the "cold" PC, use that to sign the transaction using the private key, walk back to your "hot" PC, import the signed transaction, and broadcast it to the network. Hardware wallets avoid the walking back-and-forth by being a small computer that stores the private key and only connects to your "hot" PC when you need to spend BTC. In the early years, everyone just had a software wallet on the "hot" PC, but that one can be vulnerable to spyware.

Wouldn't you need a PC capable of basically simulating entire universes like ours in order to brute force wallets? At that point we won't care about BTC anymore as that will probably dismantle our entire reality...

Electrum is a hot wallet, if you don't use it in combination with a hardware wallet, because the private keys are stored on your PC which is connected to the internet.

Being a computer science student and talking about this new thing called Bitcoin with my mates. Even downloading Satoshis white paper but never reading it. At the time living in a student apartment where electricity was included in the rent. So knowing I could have mined like crazy with my mid tier gaming PC for free.

Oh please do not make me think about it... 2007-2009 I was heavily involved in over- clocking PC , joined a team "Team OC UK" crunched data for SETI , our team was 2nd or 3rd on leaderboard in the world - happy days running my athlon chip 24/7 flat out week after week. Around same time haD first child . Focus was distracted. Crunching Pc blew up after running over voltage for a few years. Team members starting moving their machines to " mine" this new crypto thing. My attention was not on the game. I gave up crunching data and focus shifted to different things as a few of the team members put some if their processing power onto mining around 2010 . Why oh why didn't I delve into it. 😭.

Ledger gets a very bad rep but if your computer saavy and use it on a PC that isn't compromised then yes it's safe to use. But I do understand why people don't like Ledger. With that said most people like Trezor, Jade Wallet and/or ColdCard more than Ledger.

Lol, I never held, that's the problem. I was mining for free from my work computer and I would sell it for 50p or something like that. To me it was free as I was using my work PC and my work electricity. If I bought something for $100 I would panic sell at $150 thinking there is no way it could get higher. Of course I did not know it would get to where it is now... I would have never sold if I knew... And the kicker is... I sold quite a few btc at a "loss" when it looked like it was going to zero. Yes, I lost money selling my btc at $5

To be fair, I also mined, (with my PC), and bought Bitcoin years ago. I used some, I sold some, I lost some ... life happens I'm afraid. I strongly believe that I would have never kept my Bitcoins at $100 or even $1000, (I would have been a millionaire if I had). I bought a graphics card for 4BTC a while ago ... imagine if I had kept it. What I am trying to say it ... hindsight is always 20/20, but the truth is that, most of us sold/used/lost our coins along the way. Yes, most of us are a little wiser now ... but we had to learn the hard lessons and I don't really beat myself up too much for it.
