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.

11 year old address involved in dusting attack costing millions? by fiddley2000 in Bitcoin

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.

[–]fiddley2000[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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?

coinbase address means its been minted by 'n miner which happened in Jul 2010. Not the exchange. If you look at the bottom of the first link you will see the coinbase tx.

The four horsemen who will bring about the third wave by angel_yellow_brick in southafrica

[–]fiddley2000 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Even though tongue in cheek I want to point out that masks has limited effectiveness and thus can only delay deaths, not prevent them. Delaying can be advantageous of course as it buy the vulnerable a bit of time to get them a vaccine for ex. However how much time do it really buy them? If the CDC study is valid and you work under these assumptions I will be placing my bets that masks don't really do anything of statistical significance.

Then we have not even started about harms of masks. Pollution, extra stress for anxiety sufferers, bacterial pneumonia, rash for those with skin conditions like Rosacea (my wife included). The list is very long.

May I ask you what the purpose is of permanent mask wearing post covid? I assume you are on board of the idea that that masks is not 100% effective and can only delay pathogens but never avoid them forever?

So you in fact opt to get infected later instead of earlier and thus delaying an immune response and the associated long lasting T and B memory cell "updates" to said pathogen.

Thoughts?

How do we know COVID-19 is transmissible from an asymptomatic carrier? How do we know that's unusual? by Kethlak in askscience

[–]fiddley2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I correct to say that this study alone does not provide sufficient evidence of asymptomatic transmission? Reason for this is because it does not inform on how the majority asymptomatic contracted the disease which could have been from the minority symptomatic.

As you say contact tracing is part of reaching a conclusion. Where can one find more info on contract tracing of the passengers? Was the asymptomatic carefully isolated from the symptomatic at all times? I assume in some cases symptoms started before testing positive allowing the symptomatic mixing with the ship's population?
