Let’s be honest

The US military black projects are 40 years ahead in technology compared civilian tech. Today it’s been confirmed that the US government was responsible for cracking the seed of the $1 billion Silk Road wallet. You don’t think the US government has the ability to crack SHA256? We’re moving towards a digitized economy and the US hits China, and they’re aware that mining is centralized in China. They won’t allow this to continue forever, unless they can control it.

i do not think they can crack sha256. bitcoin is insecure because your cpu, motherboard, and os are all backdoored and any fag with clearance can lift your private keys at any time. this is why you want PMs.

if that was true ALL the BTC would be removed by now. not happening faggot

and even with a cold wallet, you'd need to reveal your key to a networked machine to even use it, which basically means you could be subject to a MITM attack at any time you try to transact with btc, cold wallet or not, hardware wallet or not. it's a bullshit security model.

If they could crack modern encryption, bitcoin isn't even a blip on their radar for using that power.

i guess you could work the transaction out with a graphing calculator or some reasonably low-tech machine that's not networked and copy it over manually, but nobody is going to go to that trouble and they could probably retrieve your key with manual surveillance anyway unless your keep your device on your person at all times. it's not even somewhat secure. and you also have to deal with generating your wallet in a secure fashion which is equally challenging if you can't trust the hardware you're working with

so no, it's not really secure. they can't brute force sha256, but they don't have to if your machine phones home or doesn't generate properly random numbers in the first place.

it could all be gone one day and you'd have no recourse whatsoever.

Crypto is a black project

Crypto is a name of an alien that is interest in human stuff

even trezors have off-the-shelf ARM CPUs in them. and with low level hardware access, private keys could be transmitted out of the device in a very, very covert manner. you'd never be able to verify if the signals going from your hardware wallet to your computer don't contain your own private keys or any other information.

People realizing this is exactly why I have a big stack of QRL, only takes 1 or 2 big names mentioning the idea of BTC being cracked and we mooning

so forgive me if i'm less than enthused about the usual selling points about crypto being "secure" and "censorship-free".

The legal complaint offers no details on how they found the guy, in third world shithole American speak that means they used the NSA to violate all constitutional rights and form a case on the basis of parallel construction.

and they wouldn't even need to do that much either. it could be intercepted during shipment, it could be pre-loaded with "one-shot" software to generate a specific btc key pair then delete itself. the attack surface is huge and very real. crypto currency isn't the least bit secure and never will be.

pls pajeet let us have some threads for ourselves

and then some greasy nigger working for the NSA has his hands on your BTC. thanks but no thanks, i'll pass.

They didnt crack it lol, he gave them the keys

Wow, thank you for posting this right as Bitcoin is about to break it's all time high. Although sceptical at first, I was just about to market buy three whole Bitcoins. Thankfully, however, I came across your concerned thoughts and have decided to keep my cash and put it in a money market account, or perhaps a CD if I'm feeling a little more risky. Thank you so much for your concern and compassion! I won't forget it! Tata, now.

Again, somebody who doesn't understand SHA256.They could be 100000 years ahead in technology OP but it wouldn't change the fact that SHA256 is impossible to crack.

>one post by this ID
>btc is pumping
Seems legit

they might as well be able to.

>Today it’s been confirmed that the US government was responsible for cracking the seed of the $1 billion Silk Road wallet.
no it hasnt you schizo retard nigger

Yeah, there is a technology that is capable of matching two random strings of 52-digit characters.

if you'd kindly read my other replies in this thread, you'll understand that it's not necessary for them to brute force sha256.

For the sake of argument let's make the asinine assumption that OP is correct and they can break SHA256 easily.
Do you really think the government is going to start raiding wallets for comparative pocket change and watch the price of the coin tank to near 0, all while signaling to the whole world they can break it?
No.... they're going to keep it a secret and use it to break encrypted comms and other spy shit letting the world go on about its business thinking SHA256 is unbreakable.

it's hardly a secret. snowden made it very clear what they can do. they cannot brute force sha256 but they don't need to either.

>Do you really think the government is going to start raiding wallets for comparative pocket change and watch the price of the coin tank to near 0

absolutely. they do tons of stupid bullshit for reasons that are not clear to anyone in their right mind.

Woah, just like Enigma in that movie about Hitler.

*click* thats another 1k layer locking in and pricing out the bears. Sorry, you literally had years followed by the last few months being the most obvious bullflag in the universe.

your cpu might not generate truly random numbers either. it might just sample from a very large, seemingly uniform, but still tractable subset.
