152 sats \ 19 replies \ @flat24 13 Apr \ parent \ on: Looking for @DarthCoin's hidden 1 BTC in his guides bitcoin
When I read this for the first time, my head 🤯 exploded. (As when I heard him say he left 1 BTC under a rock 🪨 Over there on some European path) 🤯
I did not understand how someone could leave a 1 BTC out there.
Then I understood that @DarthCoin was simply someone who had many BTC. And his life will not reach them all even if he wants to do it.
I thought the following: 🤔💭 This man has left a great challenge for those who are worth finding it. And that is amazing.
I don't understand why he says now that they want to steal it ... 😵💫
You should be happy. (Someone appeared worthy who resolved the riddle). And it deserves its reward.
Maybe he thought no one could achieve the feat.
I understand it the same way. Same goes for the photo of the cats with steganography for a wallet.

I found that out while watching Mr. Robot, and since then I’ve used it for things I consider really important. The way @DarthCoin used it by placing it in a public space opened up new horizons for me. I realized I can use places like that to have things available to me whenever I want, wherever I am, without needing to carry them around or store them in a personal storage service or server.

totally agree.
Me. Robot 🤖 is an excellent material.
What impacts me the most, and that in a way adopts on a minimum scale and tried to work on it to improve as I advance in my days. It is the inquibrantable form of "white rose" to measure and use its time.

One thing is to leave a piece of paper with 12 words under a rock in the middle of nowhere, with instructions how to GET the sats, as geocaching game.
And another thing is to hide 12 words in a guide, online, as a proof that nobody can think about it as a place to keep a seed.
As I said: if I leave on a table, in a coffee shop a piece of paper with 12 words of a seed, 99,99% of people seeing it will take it as it could be THEIR property. Only 1 or 2 will take the paper and give it back to me.... THAT is my point. People nowadays think only in TAKING what is not theirs... there's no respect for property.
The intention of finding them is clearly of taking something that is not yours. This is the wrong part that people do not understand. They think that if is posted online, it up for grabs, they don't even think about THE MORALITY of that act, that is pure robbery.
And I did that exactly to see how people nowadays think. There's no morality, everybody wants to do harm to another (steal, damage, kill) and we will never evolve to a higher level of intelligent beings if we do not respect the natural law.

I understand your point, I also have little or no faith in the populace.
When reading your words in the guide, I could swear that you invite me to solve the challenge of finding the hidden words.
And I also thought that doing so would lead me to an empty wallet. Assuming that you are an intelligent being and that you did not really leave 1 BTC hidden in a guide waiting for a hacker or some mortal to take it at any time.

Is real. But I leave it for me. Yes, is a backup, not the only copy. Is a backup of a backup of a backup, in case that any of other copies are destroyed/lost, I could still have a way to get those words from my own texts, posted online. Even that github/substack for example will wipe the entire of my content, my guides are still spread in other places, other languages so I can still reach my seed.
"The invitation" suggested was EXACTLY my point, to see how people think and act, ignoring totally the natural law. I've tested that even with the few most ancap friends I have IRL. They still want to take my sats LOL. Very few were saying from the start: "if I would find the words, I will not take your sats... that means stealing and I do not agree with that".
If more people will start by respecting the natural law and not the bullshit invented "laws" by the govs, we will have a better world.
But people are retarded... prefer to hide behind any other "gov law" that fit for their retarded mind doing harm to another and call it "LEGAL". They forgot the meaning of the word MORAL/ RIGHT.
reply
Now it is clearer, the invitation is to see and verify that there you have a backup. And that we could also encode information.
It is not an invitation to take yours.
There they say:
"It is not what you say but how you say it"
And I believe that we can hit him.
"It is not what he says, but what you understand"
and as you understand or how interpreters varies from person to person.
reply
If I would want people to verify publicly that seed, I could just post the pubkey of an address of that wallet and sign a message with it (as would be a normal public way to prove something in a wallet).
But I DO NOT WANT to reveal my private things in a public mode. It's my own business what is inside that wallet. This is not a "public contest" as many interpret it, to find my seed and take the sats.
This is an example of how you could hide your backup seed in a plain sight and stay perfectly calm that nobody will find them. As you said, you could spend a lot of time trying to look into and in the end you will find an empty wallet (because I move the sats or simply they weren't there) or you will never find the right one, because the combinations are almost infinite.
Seeing that some people really try to do that totally useless job without even thinking about the meaningless possibility that will find nothing, it blows my mind.
reply
It is good that this situation has happened ... It serves as an example to several aspects to consider.
And I think that the most relevant aspect here would be the use of a 13 word. A "passphrase" is super important.
In case of some backup copy, without the other key 🔐 (13th word) they could not access the Sats.
Maybe the fact that people “misunderstand” your invitation to find your mnemonic is your fault.
In communication, the responsibility of having the message delivered and understood is of the sender.
About the “totally useless job”: some people like to play as a way of learning. Even through doing “useless” things.

PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER MY WORDS... AFTER I WILL DIE.
And that's why I wrote this important article about bitcoin and natural law:
https://darth-coin.github.io/general/natural-law-bitcoin-en.html
This is another deep rabbit hole that many bitcoiners are still afraid to take.
I've done my mission on this fucked up planet, now is time for me to leave.

You are not speaking the truth. Read the title: “Looking for @DarthCoin's hidden 1 BTC in his guides”.
Finding does not mean stealing.
You are focused on labeling everyone else as a retard/shitcoiner/thief.
reply
You are still insisting in your idiocy...
