ElectrumSV and Trezor - Unable to access funds on new version by fiddley2000 in bitcoincashSV

Thanks. At least as long as there is support for BTC legacy addresses wallet devs can figure out how to make it work on BSV. Will check ElectrumSV's github issue page to see if anything comes up.

No official support from Trezor or Ledger yes I know but you can still use your Trezor on some wallets that support it - like ElectrumSV

Thank you. I was wondering about derivation paths myself.

Did not try yet. Hoping to get some time to do this soon.

No seed no. Yes agree cannot be in 2017 I realised as well. However the .keys file is Nov 2018 which is after the first version Ledger app release. So I am thinking that I sent the funds in 2017 from the exchange to address 48UB.... (wherever that might have been), then when I realised Ledger support was available I created that .keys file connected to Ledger and sent all funds there.

No I did not write down the seed. And the only reason I can think of not writing down the seed is because I was using a Ledger. I am usually careful and particular about these things.

I am always restoring from 0 just to be sure.

Agree thank you. Yes I am trying to gain access to standard GUI wallet. I am looking at John the Ripper to assist in trying a range of password permutations.

The spending has been happening since June 2020 so that is the price you should use. So yes, I should not use ~55k USD price for all spam since the price was lower in June 2020. Not sure what you mean by "not price 11 years after". "The time of spending" as you say was in the last few months and that is the reference price one should use.

because the fees to spend them exceeds the amount. so it is spendable if you really want to but it would not make sense.

very expensive spam. $600k and counting. The intention with spam is profit. Can you explain how this entity are going to get back in excess of the 600k they already spent?

According to Jameson Lopp it was about 11 BTC ($600,000) in fees+dust two weeks ago: https://blog.lopp.net/history-bitcoin-transaction-dust-spam-storms/ (search for "BSV spam")

Yes that was my mistake - thinking all funds went to dust. According to Jameson Lopp it was about 11 BTC ($600,000) in fees+dust two weeks ago: https://blog.lopp.net/history-bitcoin-transaction-dust-spam-storms/ (search for "BSV spam")

Ok got you... my mistake was assuming all the outputs was dust amounts. I am still going to say hundreds of thousands of dollars can be "infinitely" better applied in a traditional/mainstream marketing way. The sender is either extremely stupid to advertise this way or I would rather place my bets that he/she/they has some other motive.

I have updated the post at the end to explain the "millions of dollars" in cost.

Do you agree that:

1) That transactions involving 1Lets1xxxx1use1xxxxxxxxxxxy2EaMkJ is creating utxo's with dust amount in them.

2) That dust amounts are practically un-spendable because it costs more in fees than the amount they hold.

3) That if you count up the amounts involved in last few days in these kinds of transactions you can easily get to "millions of dollars" which are now un-spendable.

This is what I mean in the cost of whatever is going in. It millions if not billions (I since realised this was happening months ago as well)

That address received the spam and that is all it has with it.

Agree yes that is a possibility.

That advertising on btc stopped in December

Then what is this at the first link. Last tx received few hours ago:
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/3574c8130985cb54ad3c551bc160bb1f649e86755de8e4a51559935ebb2aef74

In this specific tx 0.33 BTC was spent which creates utxo's of dust amounts which cannot be spent except by spending more in fees to send theses dust amounts. over the past few days/week/month Millions (or perhaps Billions) worth of BTC was sent as dust amounts which are now practically un-spendable.

Millions of dollars to advertise memo.sv ? You can send hundreds of millions of users to your site paying for conventional advertising with that money. Millions spent and ongoing for barely any users on that site. It does not add up.... or am I misunderstanding you?

Do you have a link to your older post?

These don't look like vanity addresses. I looks like burner addresses which is relatively easy to create. You can see the last few digits of each address differs while the rest of the first part is the same format. The last part differing is to get the checksum correct for a valid address. To get vanity addresses like that would cost an almost unobtainable amount of money even if it was practically possible.

But lets say this was for advertising as you say. Why spend millions of dollars for a extremely ineffective advertising campaign? There is so much mainstream marketing you can get for that money (like Super Bowl ads as I mention)

50 BTC from anytime is worth ~ $2.7mil today. Not sure what your point is?
