IDK The wire is better that most think but related to working on IT industry? Metaphorically speaking The wire is all about politics, a credible and not overblown representation of how the human is a politic animal even in the hood'. So many brilliant natural actors, such disregard for loved character's life. A recommended for sure but for other reasons.

Yeah yeah, Im aware of the mind gobbling numbers. Im also aware that the chances are not 0.
Maybe you are not aware of the Large Bitcoin Collider CHECKING trillions of PKs.
Maybe you are not aware of the handfuls of people that have found stacked wallets out of randomness.

All that nerd speak does not invalidate my point that the PKs are out there, no one needs to store them all to stumble upon a single one, you dont need to generate them all to sequentially crawl ranges like the LBC does.

the 1543894523164215938980946466782505438037834190387665391768068841886908819925 pages of dinamically generated PK pairs in directory.io are what? I dont see how anyone needs 20 years of CS and cryptography PhDs to click "get lucky" and end on Satoshis wallet, as irrational as it is, do not underestimate luck.

Also, thats not how Nicehash works.

If this were true how is that IRS knows about all your BTC trades and is ready to fuck you once you try to cash out?

2010 called and they want their meme back. Nobody uses BTC for the shit you mention. Bitcoin sucks hugely, believe me, but is not because of your handwringing and think of the kids stupidity.

How cute, slashdoters dont know about Theter.

BTC is being pumped by some actors literally printing Virtual USD and buying coin with them. This to keep luring clueless investors. Tech wise BTC is not worth $100 USD even. It's all make believe store of value and corporate shilling.

Yeah, is not like theres 800+ other coins of which 10% have better roadmaps and better tech than current bitcoin. BTC might die, I hope it dies the 1000 shorts death. Buy crypto is here to stay.

Good news for the bitter folks that only come out of the closet on every bitcoin article, i guess.

Are you aware that banks have trojaned BTCcore and are currently turning it into a centralized commodity?

Also, people with coins have all the right to call on every clueless jelly that comes left and right, they took the risk and they got the profit.

Is crypto haters the ones that have to worry more about what they'll say to their kids if by any change this shit ends up being world currency and your kids have to start from scratch, and believe me, GP's attitude is nothing compared to general attitude of hardcore crypto followers.

tl:dr if you dont invest in crypto for you kids, be sure to invest on kneepads instead because they are going to need them.

Why you answer anonymous trolls whose knowledge of bitcoins obviously dates back to 2010. And is it confirmed that is a breach not just a simple directory find?

What I love is that someones are full bent on FUDing crypto on slashdot, and the voluntary ignorance on the matter makes every single crypto article on /. a parade of cluelessness and regret.

Interesting times when you get deeper tech discussions with 12yos on 4chan than with veterans on slashdot.

BTC holders pray for (someones else) bitcoins to be stolen and lost forever. This is a pool, you cant just really have people on shift 24/7 pushing payments whenever a single miner reach the payment threshold.

Your anal security protocol is worth exactly shit if some kid just stumbled upon the stacked wallet in the directory and just had to copy the private keys.

You are aware that ALL PKs of ALL bitcoin wallets are already available online right? You just need some massive amount of luck to find one with a balance but they are out there, open for the world.

Oh look it finally happened, what Ive been preaching and hoping for a decade, finally happened, look at mee I was right, the massive money transfer in the last decade is fake news and thats good because I missed it and now the massive regret I deeply carry will be lessened for a couple days.

FTFY

What show? a bunch of noobs that can't set up a single Json file (ergo needing a point and click miner) getting their lunch money taken by a hack? Do you see Bitcoin crashing? Nicehash is not a fart in the wind in the great scheme of things. Is not an exchange, nobody sends money to NH, they are just a pool of garden variety miners.

Now theres actual heavy shit behind the scenes of Bitcoin, shit that have the potential to crash the whole bubble to $1 but you would not know about it since you are evidently clueless about the whole matter. I bet it hurts to try to actually be informed about it.

Full disclaimer: I dont own a single bitcoin and Id love to see it crash too.
