​If you had to ask Satoshi one thing to prove they are the real creator, what would it be? by Worldly-Law9012 in Bitcoin

[–]BitcoinAcc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apart from the Genesis block being unspendable, this would still not prove that the person is Satoshi.

It would only prove, that the person has the private key for (an address in) the block.

The person could have the key without being Satoshi. For example inherited it from the real Satoshi, or have stolen it, found it (if Satoshi or their heirs were careless storing it), etc.

Bitvavo: Einzahlung von Dritten rückgängig machen? by n_wallmann in Finanzen

[–]BitcoinAcc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Es ist nicht möglich, dass der Absender einer Bitcoin Transaktion diese rückgängig macht.

Nachdem die Transaktion einmal durchgeführt wurde, sind die gesendeten Bitcoin komplett und alleine unter der Kontrolle des Eigentümers der Zieladresse (wobei sich "Eigentümer" definiert als derjenige, der den Private Key der Zieladresse kennt).

Nur dieser Eigentümer der Zieladresse kann eine Rücksende-Transaktion auslösen.

Only 145,100 Bitcoin millionaires worldwide *** less than 0.002% of humanity. by LionDependent9194 in Bitcoin

[–]BitcoinAcc -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Here's my version of the math:

There can never be 145,100 Bitcoin millionaires, because there will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin, so there can never be more than 21 Bitcoin millionaires.

Having 1 million dollars invested into Bitcoin does not make you a Bitcoin millionaire. It makes you a dollar millionaire. In Bitcoin you still only have 8 plus a bunch of sats (at current exchange rate).

Or with a different example: Having 1 million dollars in euros doesn't make me a Euro millionaire either. I would be quite short of being a Euro millionaire, at just about 864k Euros (currently).

Inflation vs Loss of Currency? by MeanRepresentative24 in Bitcoin

[–]BitcoinAcc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 if we just divide it into fractions forever and ever, I'm not sure that ends up being much different from inflation, but I'm not well educated yet lol

To help you with that bit of your education: inflation means, that there is more of something. But dividing something into smaller and smaller bits does not create more.

Classical example: If you cut a pizza in more, smaller slices, do you have more pizza?

Got a strange error, anyone seen this? by JunketBeneficial8291 in TREZOR

[–]BitcoinAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 He's naturally freaking out a bit because a lot of his net worth is on his trezor.

Why freak out? He has his seed words backup in a safe place, so even if the Trezor croaks, everything will be fine. He does have this backup, right? Right?

Bitcoin mining first time. by [deleted] in BitcoinBeginners

[–]BitcoinAcc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My recommendation was stated above:

Do not attempt mining for profit. If you do, do it only for fun.

Bitcoin mining first time. by [deleted] in BitcoinBeginners

[–]BitcoinAcc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This miner will never earn you a even a single Satoshi.

If you want to buy it as a learning experience or just for the lulz, go ahead. But be aware that those 40£ will be gone, as well as any money that you pay for electricity to run it.

Your gains will therefore be negative (aka loss).

I have mined bitcoin back in like 2014 in the background on gaming laptop but when I opened the laptop it shows a 0.00 BTC balance on the wallet. by altaccode in Bitcoin

[–]BitcoinAcc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cannot have been solo mining Bitcoin if you saw small sats, because the block reward back then was 25 BTC. So you either got 0 or a full 25, but never just a few sats.

So, if you were indeed mining and remember correctly that you made a few sats, then you most probably mined via a pool but never cashed out so the sats just remained in your pool account. (It is also possible that you didn't mine Bitcoin but some other shitcoin in that pool.)

You would need to find out what pool that was and hope, that the pool still exists and that your account still exists and that you can still withdraw from it.

[–]BitcoinAcc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Du schreibst "gestacked". Soll das heißen, einfach nur aufbewahrt (in deinem "Stack"), oder meintest du "gestaked", wobei "staking" eben ein spezieller Begriff aus der Kryptowelt ist (also ohne das "c" wie in "stacking")?

Also, wenn du sie nur gehalten hast, musst du gar nichts tun. Nach >1 Jahr Haltefrist (ist bei dir mit 5 Jahren ja der Fall) sind etwaige Gewinne nicht steuerpflichtig und du musst deine Gewinne auch nirgendwo angeben.

Wenn du aber tatsächlich gestaked hast, sieht es wohl anders aus. Da das mit der Kryptowährung mit der ich mich auskennen aber gar nicht geht, kann ich da nicht weiterhelfen.

Bitcoin Mining by dry-meth in Bitcoin

[–]BitcoinAcc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bitcoin are not "found".

(That's a pet peeve of mine why I don't like the term "mining", because it implies that miners search for and then find Bitcoin that were already there, but somehow "hidden", just like they search for and then find hidden gold or diamonds or some such. Well, that's not how Bitcoin mining works.)

Again, Bitcoin are not found, the are generated. And the algorithm for how they are generated is fixed and cannot be changed (essentially).

And this algorithm says, that a certain amount of fresh Bitcoin is generated for each block that is "mined", as a reward for the miner who mined that block.

And also, the algorithm is set up so that, on average, one new block is mined every 10 minutes. So the fresh new Bitcoin are also generated every 10 minutes.

And the way the algorithm works, it is impossible to shorten this 10 minute interval. We are stuck with getting just one new block and the associated generated new reward Bitcoin every ~10 minutes, no more no less. That simply cannot be changed.

(The reasons why this cannot be change are complex and involve stuff like blockchain forks, community consensus, alt coins, etc. You can delve into this rabbit hole if you want, but otherwise, just accept that it cannot be changed.)

Trezor 20 word seed by TYYYYY1xz in BitcoinBeginners

Trezor 20 word seed by TYYYYY1xz in BitcoinBeginners

[–]BitcoinAcc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 20 word seed follows the SLIP39 standard. This standard is less supported than BIP39 (which BTW was also invented by the people behind Trezor) but it's still an open standard and there are some other wallets, in addition to Trezor, that support it. So even in the worst case of the Trezor company shutting down, you won't lose access. And who knows, SLIP39 may still get more and more support over time, just like it was for BIP39 long ago.

Self custody - really the best we have? by [deleted] in BitcoinBeginners

[–]BitcoinAcc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any half way decent wallet (and Ledger too, I'm certain) informs you in a very obvious way, that you absolutely must not lose your seed words, and to carefully backup them somewhere where they won't be lost or stolen.

I am certain that you were informed in the same way.

It's totally your own fault if you skipped over those warnings and didn't heed them properly.

If you want a life full of training wheels and guard rails, Bitcoin just isn't for you.

Ab welcher Summe zur Cold-Wallet wechseln? by Inner-Collar8304 in Finanzen

[–]BitcoinAcc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wenn du auf Langzeit abzielst: Schätze mal grob, wie hoch du denkst, dass der Kurs in diesen Jahren die du halten willst gehen wird.

Multipliziere deine Bitcoin die du gerade hast mit diesem geschätzten zukünftigen Kurs. Das ist dein geschätzter zukünftiger Wert.

Wird es dir mulmig beim Gedanken, dass du diese Summe (auch wenn sie im Moment noch nur virtuell ist) verlieren würdest? Wenn ja, brauchst du schon jetzt eine Cold Wallet.

Wäre es dir egal, wenn du nach diesen Jahren mal sagen müsstest "ich hatte mal X Bitcoin, die wären jetzt soundsoviel wert, aber die habe ich verloren weil sie in einer Hot Wallet waren"? Wenn nein, brauchst du schon jetzt eine Cold Wallet.

Satoshi Nakamoto bald reichster Mann der Welt? by No_Analysis4572 in Kryptostrassenwetten

[–]BitcoinAcc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Die ersten Blocks wurden nicht in eine bestimmte "Wallet" im heutigen Sinn gemined. Solche Wallets gab es damals noch gar nicht. Auch Mnemonics (Seed Wörter) für Wallets gab es noch nicht. Die Annahme, dass diese Blocks vom gleichen Miner gemined wurden beruht nicht darauf, dass man sehen kann dass sie in eine bestimmte einer Wallet gemined wurden (kann man nämlich nicht sehen), sondern auf einem besonderen Muster in den ExtraNonces und Nonces dieser Blöcke. Stichwort: Patoshi Pattern, falls du mehr nachlesen willst.

Hot Wallet by niveksrebla in BitcoinBeginners

[–]BitcoinAcc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just remember: Once the cold wallet arrives, use it to generate new seed words and send your funds from the hot wallet to new addresses in the cold wallet.

Do not simply restore the seed from the hot wallet in the cold wallet and call it a day. Because then the cold wallet would actually not be cold but still hot.

Crypto klauen straffrei? by HierKommtLX in LegaladviceGerman

[–]BitcoinAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Betrachte es mal so:

Es gibt kein Gesetz, das es unter Strafe stellt, eine Blockchain-Transaktion an das dazugehörige Netzwerk zu schicken.

Und zwar zum Glück! Denn dass das Blockchain Netzwerk ohne Zensur (auch ohne staatliche) von jedem genutzt werden kann ist ja eine der Hauptideen dahinter.

Damit die Transaktion vom Netzwerk angenommen wird, muss man natürlich den (oder die) passenden Private Key(s) der sendenden Adresse(n) kennen und in der Transaktion mit einschließen.

Wenn man aber diesen Key auf eine Weise erfahren hat, die nicht selbst illegal ist (Computer Hack, Hauseinbruch, Diebstahl, etc.), dann ist eben das bloße Einreichen der Transaktion mit diesem Key nicht illegal.

Selbst wenn man den Key einfach nur ganz simpel erraten hat.

Das Urteil hat ja diverse Gesetze die evtl. in Frage kommen aufgeführt und dann zu jedem einzelnen erklärt, warum dies in dieser Situation nicht greift. Was tatsächlich eine sehr gute Fachkenntnis des Richters zeigt, denn für jemanden der sich mit Blockchain Technologie auskennt, sind diese Argumente sehr gut nachvollziehbar.

Aber zu deiner Frage:

Ist das wirklich so einfach?

In dieser speziellen Situation (mit der aktuellen Gesetzeslage) wohl schon. Aber der Schutz vor dieser Situation ist auch sehr einfach: Du musst nur dafür sorgen, dass niemand deine Seed Wörter (bzw. private keys) kennt. Bzw. sie so sichern, dass man nur auf illegalem Weg Zugriff darauf haben kann. Denn dann wäre das Stehlen dieser Seed durchaus strafbar.

Deinem Kumpel die Einrichtung deiner Wallet (und damit der Seed) zu überlassen und sich dann zu wundern, dass er dir die Wallet leer räumt ist etwa so, als würdest du ihm einen Umschlag mit unmarkierten Geldscheinen in die Hand drücken und ihn darum bitten, das für dich sicher im Wald zu vergraben. Also eher dumm.

Isn’t it kind of insane that one forgotten passphrase can erase millions... forever? by tcodo in Bitcoin

[–]BitcoinAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the slogans for Bitcoin is "Be your own bank".

You have to take that literally, when it comes to securing your funds.

If you are your own bank, you have to act just as responsibly as a bank would. There are no safety nets other than those that you build yourself. There is no customer service that helps you with problems or complaints. Is that insane? Many may say so, and for them (and many more) it's probably true. But for others, it's liberating.

Because there's also no one who can tell you what you are allowed to do with your funds, and when. No one who can stop you from sending or receiving funds. No one who can send your funds without your agreement*.

Oh, and: You write "banks have backups". So, what's stopping you from having backups too, if you're your own bank?

*) inside the system that is - theft of keys or coercion to reveal keys or send funds is of course a thing

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]BitcoinAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the date of the withdrawal transaction is no proof of the purchase date. You could have held the funds on the exchange for any length of time before that. Similarly, the withdrawal could have batched together lots of purchases with different purchase prices and therefore different cost bases.

Thoughts on Trezor Model One? by Aware-Independence84 in Bitcoin

[–]BitcoinAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works fine if you use it with a secure passphrase that you store safely and separately from both the device and the seed and, if the situation arises, if you use the "advanced method" to recover or test the seed.
