Thanks for pointing that out. OP was just trying to share basic info, even if it wasn’t perfect. We all learn here, right?

Maybe it's about enhancing privacy? I don’t mind if they’ve figured out trust on their end. It’s similar to how mixers operate with CEXs.

Checked out the github link and the use cases. Everything seems privacy-focused, but I'm skeptical about some claims. Shredding old transaction history sounds like marketing fluff. In reality, you can't erase Bitcoin’s…

When I first read this, I thought it was just about a lost wallet file. But after reading some responses, it looks grim. You joined a mining pool that doesn’t exist anymore, so recovery seems unlikely.

If you still have that 2010 password, you’re lucky. But backing up the wallet.dat shouldn’t have been hard. Maybe you deleted it out of frustration? If the cloning stopped before formatting, it might still be in the…

Yeah right, I skipped that thread but now curious. The mindset of 'never sell' feels outdated. Smart investors know to time their exits instead of just holding forever.

Funny how a few years back, the government was anti-Bitcoin, and now they want in. And folks here are saying we should give them more control? Maybe they forgot Bitcoin's whole deal was about being our own bank, free…

Bitcoin wasn’t meant to rely on the reputation of companies. It’s about securing the network, not just the funds.

If reputable firms have the first quantum computer, I doubt they’d go after vulnerable coins. The whole debate is about ensuring we have the right quantum-resistant protocol.

So, what’s the solution here? Just keep moving coins and avoid exposing public keys?

Yep, researching cracks isn't illegal by itself. But what you do with that knowledge is what counts. Reporting weaknesses is ethical; exploiting them? Not so much.

Just learning about this "treasure hunt" concept. Seems risky! But stealing from old wallets shouldn’t be legal. Even if it’s tagged as ownerless, that doesn’t justify claiming those coins.

Right, but what happens if quantum computers really do break through? The attacker could sign transactions just like the original owner. How will the network tell them apart?

China’s a perfect example. They tried to ban crypto but people are still using it under the radar. You can't stop it.

If you really get the value of Bitcoin, you’d avoid using fiat for everyday transactions. I doubt any true Bitcoiner would spend Bitcoin just to hold onto fiat. Imagine if someone spent Bitcoin when it was worth a ton…

Secrecy + phone calls = trust issues. If it’s simple, you should be able to explain it clearly. If it takes a call to understand, your idea might be shaky.
