I'll audit the supply of monero! Oh wait...
How do you audit Bitcoin?
Always gets me when they say that lol
I know every utxo and every address. It checks out
You've confirmed for yourself that almost 1 billion transactions are all valid and all inputs/outputs cancel out? Wow you're fast
You do this every ten minutes too?? You must never get any sleep bro, crazy!
...or maybe you simply rely on your Bitcoin node to do this and do absolutely nothing different from any Monero user running a node
I relied on a snippet of code I wrote to do that.
Slept many times like a baby while it ran. And once it grinded through all of history it's easy to keep up. Needed the list of all addresses owning bitcoin for a bloom filter because brainwallets.
Verifying supply was a side effect to be honest
Do not use low entropy brainwallets
What happened?
Put a few sats as bait into particularly bad brainwallets: most moved within the next Block. People are ready and waiting.
I got inspired by Ryan Castellucci to play around with this:
