Can I ask what you do for a living?
OI am retired now. I stopped working in 2019 because I wanted to dedicate all my time to Bitcoin and help people to get onboard. But for many years I am paid directly in BTC. Did you read all my Bitcoin guides? I suggest to do it. Your life will be much easier. https://darth-coin.github.io/
It doesn't matter where are you living. It depends a lot of your knowledge about Bitcoin and how many people around you will get onboard. Patience and knowledge. If you are employed... find something that you can be a freelance. If you cannot change your job now, use Bitwage and be paid in Bitcoin https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/be-paid-in-bitcoin-using-bitwage
Nowadays we have so many way to earn Bitcoin, noobs have no excuse not to do it.
What would be your best picks in regards to earning btc aside from one's main job?
If you have a guide on that, too, I'd like to read it.

Like the mighty LN chad well said:
There's no "best thing to do to earn BTC". Do whatever you are good at and ask to be paid in BTC. That's all.
Additionally here is a list of job boards (inclusive SN) https://darth-coin.github.io/beginner/buy-bitcoin-en.html#job-boards

Hm. Then I'll stay put - for now. 😈
Edit: solid list.

Yeah I've dug into your stuff, it's interesting. I still think your seed phrase hidden in an image is a bad security practice, lol
reply
You don't have enough practice with wallets to understand how powerful is steganography. If is a bad practice, please break it. You will get 1BTC.

The original image is not uploaded to the internet, but either kept in your cloud or on a physical device. You've already admitted to that in a previous comment, iirc from a previous conversation we've had. Which means that if your cloud is infiltrated by feds or your device is stolen, retrieving the wallet from the image will be a lot easier.
Using something like StegCracker is pretty easy, and there are other methods if that doesn't work. Take it from someone who works in the field.
reply
StegCracker is pretty easy,
nope, it is not so easy. And you have too many assumptions (ifs) in your statement that will not reach that seed. So again, you cannot take out the seed. Is that "not safe"? No.
reply
All depends on what kinds of resources are accessible to your adversary.

I put 12 words in one of my guides. Please find them and take the same wallet.
reply
There are several dozen words from the seed word pool in that post, and that's still a relatively high level on entropy (unless you kept the words in the correct order, in which case it's lower).
But here's the point: (!!!)
Why in the world would you lower the security of a seed phrase from 12 out of 2048 words to 12 out of <100? There's no reason to advise anyone to do that. It's cool you're trying to illustrate the concept of entropy to people, but maybe don't advise anyone to go about that kind of thing.
reply
Please show me you find the wallet seed and found the 1BTC in it. Otherwise are just assumptions.
