🔒 In 2020, the LuBian mining pool lost 127,426 BTC due to a security breach.

âš¡ They only used 32 bits of entropy in their private keys: easy to crack using brute force.

💸 The loot went from being worth $3.5 billion to over $14.8 billion today.

👀 The funds remain largely inactive, hidden in plain sight on the blockchain.

📉 A brutal lesson: basic security mistakes can cost historic fortunes.

Hello, I used a jade wallet, I'm worried because somebody in the future could replicate the jade entropy sources to reduce the "finding space". That's why I used at least a 24 words seedphrase. Even though, I plan to generate one myself with some manual method.

You can roll a dice to generate the seed 🎲 🌱
