A Bitcoin core dev, doesn't know how to properly store his coins. Doesn't have over the top multisig setup. Doesn't at least have legit control over his coins and not just a few but 200.

And if it is legit, failed to follow the most basic principles of Bitcoin security (not referring to multisig and cold storage just basic custodial principles). And deserves to learn the lesson the hard way IMHO. He's a huge reason why there are so few wallets that have Paynyms BIP47 and other privacy features. He's an enemy of Bitcoin privacy. And it's apparent with his lack of understanding basic privacy principles.

Are we sure it’s a β€œhack”

Im about to get real tin foil hat

I think Luke did this so bitcoiners can think "if it can happen to luke it can happen to me" then hes gonna champion custodial solutions, to which he has a backdoor deal with one or many of them.

As I understood luke might be trying to say funds from his hot wallet and cold wallet were co-spent in the same txs. The question is that hackers tend to sweep ASAP, not take the time to construct a complicated signing tx from multiple priv keys. The chain seems to suggest to me that he's been using a hot wallet from his defunct mining pool to receive donations.

Lots of questions not answered.

Condolences πŸ’ he was brave no fear kind of person

Yes did you mean to tag him #[4]

That what it looks like

Shoot maybe not πŸ˜‚

Also why would you use the Eligius mining pool wallet as a personal hot wallet for accepting donations?

Yes, you are right but raises many questions. Regardless not sure how they can keep him as the head of BIP gatekeeping any longer.

I think 1 BTC will be worth 1000000sats.

BIP85 isnoerfwcr use case for nostr because bip85 enables one to create several keys for several Bitcoin wallets from a single, primary seed. i.e., you just have 1 seed to secure and then all of your Bitcoin wallets are safe. Perfect for people who like trying several wallets. But in this case nostr protocol. The nice thing about this method is that now the only information I need to securely backup is one master seed phrase, the BIP39 passphrase, and the index numbers for each derived key. Then I can take any of the derived keys and import them to a wide range of available wallets.(nostr accounts)
