10 sats \ 4 replies \ @flat24 13 Apr \ parent \ on: Looking for @DarthCoin's hidden 1 BTC in his guides bitcoin
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.

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.

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.

Not having the words order is a stronger protection than most 13th words.
In this case the best security improvement would be to not advertise as a challenge that you have a mnemonic in one of the guides.

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.
