So what is step 2?

Washing BTC, yup. Keep it moving or it smells.

Stop trying to use dice-rolled seeds unless you're an expert ❌

Just had yet another person (hard to count the total now) reach out about a low-entropy seed they generated and were allowed to import into a certain hardware wallet. A lot of the blame for these lost funds falls on influencers who shill users on overly-complex security setups without properly explaining the massive risks and tradeoffs associated for the average user.

What happened:

Less than 10min after funds were sent to what they thought was secure storage, they were swept to an attackers address.

They used <10 dice rolls, meaning the private key had <25bits of entropy when the minimum for strong security is 50 dice rolls (128 bits of entropy). Wallets should not allow a user to import a seed that they know is completely insecure.

Staying safe:

As I have said many times, if you don't know the ins and outs of dice rolls, entropy, verification of the resulting seed offline, etc. please do not use dice rolls alone for seed generation. 99.99999% of users are better off allowing good, multi-source, open-source random number generation like we do on Passport.

To date I have heard of zero compromised seeds that were generated using on-board RNG due to entropy issues, while there are countless examples of users losing funds due to improper dice rolls.

Stay safe out there, folks.

I'd like to agree, but sometimes the fact that people like Joe Kernen or Cathie Wood are Bitcoiners makes me more concerned than exuberant

It's probably the latest thesis version, whenever he last made changes to it.

You see that ECB Lagaard bitch do it so hard too. She is always barking about the legitimacy she thinks she holds, how she perceives her total monetary control as authority. Hunger Games.

Talking his book so hard. They all sound so pathetic and desperate, propping up the state.

I still can't believe Gary Gensler tried to argue that the #₿ ledger is less trust worthy than some oracle database!

i've always understood that to be an unfounded conspiracy theory, but good on you for getting the 6 pack 🤙

I may have just bought another Antminer S9. I have no problem spending Bitcoin on something that makes me more Bitcoin.

Does the wife buying cushions for chairs on valentines day count?

Sounds like cheaper sats

Oef that’s next level bro 🥹
