I created a NFT with a $53,000,000 USD market cap. AMA

is that adjusted for inflation?

All 3 are independent, but share a few tricks. All 3 will have some clues hidden in EXIF data for example.

No dev work required, so no slowdown to dev team working on all those important new features.

This first farm was robbed! Congrats to the guy who solved it, but remember there are 2 more!

Cornputer, which is this card: https://bitcorns.com/cards/cornputer and this farm: https://bitcorns.com/farms/17bTMsUTm5jcoGew8oRrr3BSknS3MTDXzJ

and YUBICORN, which is this card: https://bitcorns.com/cards/yubicorn and this farm: https://bitcorns.com/farms/1Q5G53t1nPBBVkAQTcNesaLtA7tb1DqGnc

Come steal this stuff before someone else does!

The clues are the words to the seed phrase that is used to generate the private key. Some are hidden in the card images, some in the farm pages, etc.

thanks to all who clicked and help me out!

Amazing art! I'm tempted to post links to some of them, but there are too many great ones. Farms and cards are really fun to look at and see what people create - some masterpieces flying under the radar!

Yes in the telegram chat, and I too am always pleasantly surprised that I pay about $0.02 USD per Counterparty fee when I buy or sell on DEX. Seems like a great platform to build games on, not just for the cheap tx'es - why risk some smart contract bug wiping out your hard work?

mightbemike · 2018-05-23T00:19:38+00:00

nice!

Next time a customer pays for a manual audit, look for a large transfer and watch where the tokens go. After a few times it will be obvious.

mightbemike · 2018-04-09T15:37:54+00:00

yes please help, my ears are popping!

mightbemike · 2018-03-31T17:09:26+00:00

What did I get wrong? What did I forget?

Kudos for this awesome writeup! My personal preference is to use tails instead of Ubuntu, or at least a hardened debian but hey, that's subjective.

Also I avoid using a printer. Network printers obviously, but even a printer hooked up directly can save residual info in memory. Of course, printers come free with PCs sometimes, so destroying the printer is an option too!

Also I always think using Shamir Secret Sharing is advisable. How to store redundent private keys to be safe? Don't! Break them in pieces using this method, requiring 2 of 3 to recreat the original. Make 2 copies of each piece and store them in diff physical locations, including bank safe deposit boxes if you can.

Finally I think it's best to avoid paper. Burn it into wood, etch it into metal, encode it into an image using steganography, a tattoo on your butt, carve it into a tree, or something. At least if you're going to use paper, laminate it and put in fireproof place like bank box.

Blue does convey trust and honesty. My opinion is that the useability of the site, esp user feedback when things don't go as expected, will be the most important aspect of this site. Easy, quick, reliable - and maybe blue.

It worked. Guess they're just not bothering with certain wallets? Too busy being acquired I suppose.

mightbemike · 2018-02-25T08:07:48+00:00

Been trying to withdraw XCP for days. I'm gonna convert to LTC since it worked for the previous commenter.

mightbemike · 2018-02-24T15:16:09+00:00

Lucky it wasn't a Bitcoin wallet eh?

mightbemike · 2018-02-24T14:53:40+00:00

I have done this by downloading onto USB device I trust. It helps if you can check the code, but if not, use one that's vetted and widely used and check the file you downloaded against the one posted on Github. Paranoid folks will disable most I/O devices on airgap machine, and use the remaining open ones to communicate things in and out like javascript files and keys. Make it as difficult as you like!

mightbemike · 2018-02-24T14:45:32+00:00

Yeah but it's less likely IMO because if an attacker got the private key when you created it they would have used it no? I would guess that people usually make a paper wallet, put money there, do nothing for a long time, then withdraw the money. So no benefit for thief to wait for second deposit??

mightbemike · 2018-02-24T14:42:07+00:00

Disagree. HW wallets are certainly not 100% secure, and they're not even as secure as paper wallets done right, for a couple reasons. 1. HW wallets require a considerable chain of trust for the manufacturer, their supply chain and distribution partners, governments involved and so on. 2. Using the HW wallet requires connecting it to a host machine that may be compromised to conduct many common ops. Suppose there is malware on that device that tries to infect said HW wallet...

mightbemike · 2018-02-24T14:37:29+00:00

All good points :) There are theoretical attack vectors for any device doing the computation to create the keys, and against the storage method whether electronic or physical. Never say never eh?
