That was a good read and I’m in awe how easily they managed to gain their trust.

There is no privacy. Anything we do online, on the phone, and using any technology is able to be compromised and used for nefarious and ‘for the greater good’ purposes.

Wasn’t BTC supposed to be super secure and encrypted? And now there’s reports that transactions can be traced? Or is that a lie? I think there was a Reddit post (didn’t read it) about how reports of BTC transactions being traceable is false….which is it!?
 
Transactions from one bitcoin wallet to another are publicly visible and always have been. Furthermore, the blockchain is a continuous record from beginning to end, these transactions are not lost. There are websites that easily let you look at this information e.g. Blockchain.com Explorer | BTC | ETH | BCH

What you can't see is who controls a bitcoin wallet
 
Love that story!

Those guys should've stuck with PGP lol. (atleast that was the most reliable private mode of communication for thugs based on what I learned when I served in the Jury)
So much for going the route of modern day apps...all thanks in part to this guy:


One of the techies even put out a warning stating that this app was not safe to use but no one seemed to pay attention (I cannot find the link for that)
 
Haha nice work. I'd really like to see law enforcement that are corrupt and work with criminals get double the punishment that the criminals they work with get. Such a betrayal of public trust should be close to a treason charge.

We’ve investigated ourselves and have found no evidence of wrong doing.

Your public key is visible to the network, as is all transactions you do with it.

Your private key (your individual wallet) only you know and have access to in theory.

But since the Silkroad was taken down on the Tor network, back in 2013, anyone who was aware of Bitcoin knew that the government knew how to decrypt the private keys using the public key data. Which makes the whole idea of security useless.

"The government" does not have the ability to "decrypt" private wallets. There are a lot of people constantly trying to figure that out, since it would open the door to stealing an incomprehensible amount of money (and very shortly after BTC would become completely worthless) but they haven't done it yet

Which is why I don't understand why everyone is excited about Huawei's routers
US monitors ALL internet traffic from Cisco and Juniper back doors... why wouldn't Huawei?
You get to pick who is monitoring your internet traffic... OH YEAH... the inter-connected web... so no you don't get to pick. Everyone is monitoring everything.

but they haven't done it yet
YET is the key word here....
The "government" isn't known for stealing monies, at least not like bald faced theft (...and don't think for a second that if BTC threatened the US economy in ANY way they wouldn't). The "government" is into stealing state, military and business secrets... which is happening ALL the time.

As long as you KNOW there is NO internet security, like NONE what so ever, what's the problem?


An off shoot of the "Anom" bust, is NO ONE in their right mind will ever trust a new device like this ever again.

... and reading between the lines of that article: "The United States was “geo-fenced,” meaning devices inside the U.S. were not monitored by U.S. authorities, but by the Australians...."
The US (and Canada, and India, and Australia, and Britain) have laws that make spying on their own citizens illegal.
So the US monitors Canada, Australia monitors India, Britain monitors the US... all legally. It's called "The Five Eyes".
The reason the US hates Snowden is he told the truth.
 
If a offer seems too good...
Maybe it didn't even seem that good. Maybe it was like blackphone and they were charging thousands of dollars per device. Might as well make some money off the criminals upfront to finance your sting operation.

It's already being done attacking wallets based on known public keys. More academically, but the software works. One such software in the wild.


Takes time and resources, but from August 2016 to Nov 2017 they got 54 private keys working backwards mathematically from the pools public keys. And this was considered successful test.

If you think the US government can't figure it out to get back the Colonial pipeline ransom back, which they did. But random groups of hobbyists can, I got lakefront property to sell you on Mars.

Really interesting. That project seems to have hit its peak years ago and is now dead. Why would a project that required minimal effort but had potentially unlimited earning potential fade out?

It did what it set out to do, prove it can be done. With a limited pool.of addresses.

Doing this openly on all wallets is illegal, as it falls under theft, but also various communication and encryption laws. And can land you a decade or more in jail.
