[uncensored-r/btc] I found a $600k BCH theft that has gone unnoticed

The following post by exmachinalibertas is being replicated because some comments within the post(but not the post itself) have been openly removed.

The original post can be found(in censored form) at this link:

np.reddit.com/r/ btc/comments/b5p7d3

The original post's content was as follows:

Hello all, I'm (among other things) a graduate student getting a master's degree in cybersecurity. This last quarter for one of my classes, I was tasked to examine and recreate an exploit. For the actual exploit I was examining the "anyone can spend" segwit addresses on the BCH chain, and in my research I found a $600k theft that seems to have gone completely unnoticed.

You all might recall this $600k theft of segwit addresses, but it happened again in mid-February 2018 and there has been zero news about it.

BCH block 517171 contains solely segwit-stealing transactions. If you look at any given transaction, the inputs are all segwit program hashes spending a P2SH segwit output. I only caught it by accident, as I was originally going to talk about the publicized November attack.

The interesting thing I discovered about this was that it's harder to have stolen that segwit money than most people think. Both Unlimited and ABC nodes do not relay segwit-spending transactions, and Bitcoin ABC hard-coded in fRequireStandard, so you couldn't even force-relay them with a conf option. On top of that, miners keep their node IPs private for obvious avoiding-ddos-and-sybil-attack reasons, which means it's impossible to directly send transactions to miners. This means that the only way to actually execute this attack was to setup one's own mining pool running on a custom-modified client to allow non-standard transactions. Then you'd have to get enough hash power to mine a block yourself. I estimated the cost of renting enough hash power to do this at the time as around $30k-$60k to have a greater than 90% chance of mining a block within a 3 month window.

In order to simulate the attack, I spun up BTC, LTC, and BCH nodes in Docker, and wrote a Python script. The Python script started at segwit activation on BTC and LTC and it scanned every transaction in every block looking for P2SH segwit inputs as well as native segwit outputs, since these are the necessary hash pre-images to spend P2SH segwit money on the BCH chain. The script then also scanned the BCH chain for any native segwit outputs, as well as recording all P2SH outputs. (This was all saved in a MySQL database.) Then, at any point in time, I could simply query for BCH unspent native segwit outputs as well as P2SH outputs for which I had a known segwit hash pre-image. (If this was an attack I was doing real-time, I would probably also have a large mempool on each node and monitor unconfirmed tx's for useful info as well, but since this was after the fact, I just queried blocks sequentially.)

For the mining node that runs the pool, it would need to be firewalled behind (i.e. only connected to) an unmodified node in blocks-only mode, so that the segwit hash pre-images aren't transmitted out to the network, and so that no other unconfirmed transactions are transmitted in to the mining node. (The mining node should only be filling its block with segwit tx's in order to maximize the gain from the attack.)

Then a script should run continuously to grab segwit utxos from the MySQL database and construct high-fee transactions to send directly to the mining node. Unlike the November attack, each input should be spent in its own individual transaction, so that in the event it is individually spent, I don't negate a tx with other inputs. The overhead on having different transactions for each input is only about 8 extra bytes (the tx version and the locktime), so I think this is a good trade-off.

Then, the attacker simply rents hashing power and points it at his secret pool.

By the time February rolled around and the attack happened, my MySQL database had about 40 million BCH P2SH outputs and each query took about 3 minutes to execute. This of course would have been fine in the 10-minute block world of Bitcoin and BCH, but it means that I stopped my Python script after that time, so I don't know about any possible other attacks that happened before the clean stack rule was hard-forked into BCH.

It was pretty interesting to work through how this attack must have happened, and it was significantly harder to execute than I thought it would be given that all the money was "anyone can spend".

However, the most interesting thing about all this is that nobody has noticed. There is literally no news or mention of block 517171 or any of the transactions in it. My theory is that it is money that nobody misses -- i.e. misprogrammed custom wallet software for BTC nodes accidentally also sent out BCH transactions to the same address, given that BTC and BCH shared the same history until August 2017. And whatever person or entity is running those nodes is only thinking about BTC money and is completely oblivious to its misprogrammed problem of shipping BCH to segwit P2SH addresses.

Obviously, that's just a theory, but I think it's pretty reasonable. Given the intense community divide, I think it's very possible that a number of BTC users simply ignored money on the BCH chain, even though it's "free money" for them, simply out of ideological hatred.

Whatever the case, nobody has posted anywhere complaining of money stolen in that block. It seems to have gone completely unnoticed. (Which is why I'm posting this.) It was an interesting case study and I'd be curious to hear if anybody has any addition information or thoughts about it. I believe this was a different person than the November theft, because the way it was done was different -- the November theft had all the money in one transaction, but this February theft was done with separate individual transactions. Additionally worth noting is that the address which received the bulk of the money is still active, which means they're still out there.

Anyway, I thought this was interesting and worth posting.

what is the best strategy for cashing out?

im on the boat of believing bitcoin will be gold 2.0. though, i dont know the timeline in which this will happen.

whats the best strategy for cashing out during a bull run to pay for things like student loans, down payment on a house, etc., while still managing to hold some bag in the event this thing skyrockets to the millions/coin?

thoughts?

Musings on ASIC Apathy

One thing that has frustrated about the ProgPoW discussion is just the pure apathy we're seeing from some leaders and devs on the topic. If it goes through, it may be because not enough cared enough to stop it. If it fails, it's because the few voices that do oppose overpowered the majority who mostly don't seem to care at all. Ask a dev about most other EIPs and most will take a stand one way or another (because many of them impact their dApps). Ask a dev about EIP-1057 and frequently you'll get a "meh, I'll go along with the consensus."

Look--I get it. We've finally gotten to a place where the DeFi ecosystem and other projects have matured and become pretty damn usable, and we've all seen a ton of potential finally come together into real projects in some really great ways over the past few months. As long as that functionality is working and secure and with room to grow, many of us simply don't care much about the underlying PoW algorithm that drives us until PoS.

ProgPoW pro or con aside, this saddens me. I think it's a shame that so few people care about the distribution mechanism that we'll be pretty dependent on for probably another 2 years minimum. Beacon chain will take at least a year or 2 to mature, ballpark minimum another 5-8% of total supply or so will probably come from 1.0 before we can genuinely start to move off of it, and nobody gives a shit about how that happens, who that supply goes to and why?

Part of me is pro ProgPoW simply because it seems to be our last hope at at least fucking trying to improve our distribution mechanism that we're still going to be dependent on for a couple of years. If it fails to pass, I'm pretty sure it will be our last attempt ever, barring any emergency.

And I acknowledge that realistically, there probably won't be an emergency if it is not included. ASIC miners will most likely behave and not stir the pot causing us to question their dominance. I still don't think that we should necessarily be OK with them dominating field though. Those with access to cheap production (primarily those in China) and insiders close to ASIC manufacturers will always have a leg up, and I'm surprised so many are okay with this type of industry being the main beneficiaries in core economic distribution.

I realize GPU mining is always going to be flawed as well, but at least we can fucking attempt to be generalized with it. I'd rather give at least a small shot for a user with a couple of 1070s and cheap energy who actually cares about Ethereum to mine blocks than let it become a exclusive to specialized fucking milking factories. It’s not that GPU farms aren't bad in their own way, it’s the order of magnitude difference ASICs can allow the manufacture to have over time.

And maybe I'm wrong! Maybe the the risk is just too high, and it's right thing is to just stick the path for the benefit of not shaking the boat and go with what's working. We've seen Monero have successful ASIC resisting forks a couple of times without any significant security events occurring, but that doesn't mean ours will work without incident. But even if I'm wrong at least I fucking care about it, unlike some of you who won't even take a stand.

I'm sorry for sounding harsh, and likewise sorry for continuing to stir the pot on this issue which I'm sure many of you are tired of hearing about. I just find it genuinely sad that there is that much apathy for something that I personally believe is still pretty important. Some of the apathy is bear market driven I know, but I also get the sense that dApp devs are complacent in functionality to the point that they don't give a shit about the vision anymore.

Or worse, they say they care about the vision while simultaneously ignoring the problems with the underlying tech they build on. "Look--my dApp has potential to open up financial opportunities to communities around the world! Oh, the underlying protocol it's built on has fundamentally flawed economic distribution and will for at least another 2 years? Never mind that, we don't care about that anymore."

It just feels like we've lost something.

Epilogue: Remember when the Ethereum Community actually cared about fair PoW distribution and ASIC resistance? Pepperidge Farm remembers:

Ethereum Yellow Paper: "One plague of the Bitcoin world is ASICs." (but now that they're common in Ethereum and my dApp still works fine I'm chill with them).

ASIC Resistant Hard Fork Discussion Overview Collection of pro/cons from Hudson, mostly pro-ASIC resistance in the comments, but what I like about this one in general is the nice collection of people actually fucking caring one way or another. Can we care about it again, please?

Absurdly Efficient ASIC announced People caring even only 6 months ago! Nobody cares now.

Movie Review: This Giant Beast That Is the Global Economy: Why the lack of seriousness? - By Joanne Laurier - 26 March 2019

An Amazon Prime original, This Giant Beast That Is the Global Economy is an eight-episode documentary series that purports to make sense of the complex global situation. An admirable goal.

However, the political and social orientation of the writers and producers, who are distant from the conditions facing masses of people and circulate in the orbit of the Democratic Party, seriously limits if not fatally damages the series. In the end, This Giant Beast attempts to maintain or restore confidence in the ability of the existing economic and social order, perhaps reformed or recalibrated, to address the problems facing humanity. Amazon's This Giant Beast That is the Global Economy

Suffice it to say this is a documentary that manages to discuss the world economy without serious reference to capitalism, the working class, social revolution or any other indispensable concept—and this at a time when great numbers of youth are consciously rejecting capitalism in favor of socialism. The overall result is unserious and misleading.

Directed by Lee Farber and David Laven, and produced by Adam MacKay and Will Ferrell, among others, This Giant Beast That Is the Global Economy uses interviews, cartoons, graphics and skits involving a number of well-known actors, to make its case. The series features appearances by Ted Danson, Zach Galifianakis, Colin Hanks, Joel McHale, Ed O’Neill, Patton Oswalt, Rob Riggle, Mary Steenburgen, Jason Sudeikis, Meghan Trainor and Sasheer Zamata. Kal Penn in This Giant Beast That is the Global Economy

Comedian and actor Kal Penn serves as host and guide throughout the series. In fact, there are very few moments without him. His presence has a certain significance. Penn, a star of the Harold & Kumar film series and House on television, went to work in the Obama White House as Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement—i.e., he was a public relations shill for the Obama administration. In 2012, he was co-chair of the incumbent president’s reelection committee, and in 2016, he supported Bernie Sanders. This is the politics of the series.

Each of This Giant Beast ’s segments begins with a voiceover, “Whether you like it or not, we’re all connected by money,” and then goes on to focus on one feature of economic life the creators believe is important. However, there is no apparent rhyme or reason to the order or selection of phenomena.

For example, one episode treats money laundering, another concerns the fate of the rubber industry and a third, superficially and ahistorically, discusses the role of money. The most substantial episode centers on artificial intelligence, and the most juvenile asks whether rich people have to be “dicks.”

Some of the facts or peculiarities (there is an element of sensationalism here) are interesting, potentially significant, but the series’ basic approach is to take up this or that economic ill or dilemma as an isolated phenomenon entirely removed from its historical and social context—so the filmmakers’ supposed attempt at demystifying, in point of fact, mystifies.

Circumstances that involve the impoverishment of millions or the looting of the economy by the ruling elite are essentially played for laughs. In Episode 1, devoted to money laundering, Penn banters flippantly about the Panama Papers, the leaked documents that provided a glimpse into the criminal world of tax avoidance carried out by the globe’s banks and billionaires, with journalist Jan Strozyk.

The second episode, “Are Rich People Dicks or Do Dicks Get Rich?,” epitomizes the crass and superficial outlook of its creators. We meet Belarusian American entrepreneur and “Internet personality” Gary Vaynerchuk, who enthuses that “Capitalism is awesome.” Are we meant to derive an unfavorable impression? Penn simply laughs along with Vaynerchuk.

In a brief portion of this episode on Thomas A. Edison and Henry Ford, Penn lets us know: “I think I’m starting to get it. A capitalist structure channels the power of dick [bad, evil] energy, and can actually help us all get better goods and services.” After all, Ford, a ferocious anti-Semite as Penn acknowledges, “improved lives for the next 100 years.” The segment ends up, ridiculously, offering a successful sex toy manufacturer in California as an example of a rich individual who is both good to his employees and not a psychopath.

The series’ buffoonish tone speaks to two issues: (a) the creators and performers believe ( à la Michael Moore) they cannot retain the viewers’ attention in any other way and (b) in any event, these issues are not life-and-death for them. One online commentator offered what he meant to be praise for This Giant Beast: “It should be an imposing documentary, but it never is thanks to the light tone that makes its big, imposing questions feel manageable. This Giant Beast never feels like a severe and complex search for the truth. It feels like a surprisingly informative conversation with your buddy over beers.”

“A.I. Is the Future. Will it Keep Us Around to Enjoy It?” is the fourth and weightiest of the segments. One commentator makes the claim that artificial intelligence taken to its conclusion will mean full unemployment. Arguments are therefore put forward in favor of a universal basic income and a more “social democratic society,” as though such measures would be accepted by the world’s ruling classes, who are rolling back what’s left of the welfare state and social reform everywhere. In this section, too, we hear from a couple of Indian entrepreneurs about “capitalism for good…business used to create a greater good.”

AI expert Andrew McAfee argues that the enormous challenges facing society—such as climate change and feeding people—are too complex and overwhelming for human brains, and that AI and more advanced computers by themselves will solve these issues. But the problem is not the complexity or scope of the issues—all of them could be solved rationally and decisively in the absence of a profit-driven ruling class.

Technique and science do not develop in thin air, but in class society. As Leon Trotsky noted, “Technique in itself cannot be called either militaristic or pacifistic. In a society in which the ruling class is militaristic, technique is in the service of militarism.”

“In a socialist society, the artificial intelligence and robotics revolution will create the circumstances for a massive elevation of not only the economic well-being of the population, but also its cultural life. The replacement of tedious and back-breaking occupations will mean not mass unemployment and destitution, but rather greater leisure and an expansion of workers’ opportunities for education, family life and cultural enrichment.”

“Is Money Bullshit?” is the inane question asked in Episode 7, which starts with a bartering community in Spain and ends up musing about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as the potential wave of the future. Along the way, commentators opine that money is a “system of trust” and treat in passing President Richard Nixon’s 1971 decision to unlink the dollar from gold, a milestone that meant the end of fixed currency relations and was part of the unraveling of the mechanisms put in place after World War II to regulate the global economy.

The objective contradictions of the profit system are a closed book to the series’ creators.

Episode 8, “A Global Corruption Tour,” presents the academic Robert Reich as one of the series’ heroes, “a man of integrity.” Reich served in the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. He was Clinton’s secretary of labor from 1993 to 1997 and was a member of President-elect Barack Obama’s economic transition advisory board. Reich pontificates about corruption, and Penn’s voiceover boasts that he even made a film about social inequality. Of course, in practice, the various administrations Reich served facilitated social polarization and further enriched the super-wealthy.

Most disturbingly, this segment of This Giant Beast touts Singapore, albeit with some reservations about its lack of “press freedom,” as one of the least corrupt countries in the world. In reality, as the center of finance capital in Southeast Asia, the Singapore ruling elite relies on a police-state to protect its assets. According to the Wall Street Journal, “what really checks all the right boxes for many of the world’s ultra-rich is Singapore’s obsession with order.”

Overall, this confused hodge-podge, with its recipe book of reformist or utopian measures, none of which will ever be implemented under capitalism, emerges out of “progressive” Democratic Party circles in Hollywood and the media, the circles ecstatic about Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the “Green New Deal.”

The series is a reaction in part to the growing radicalization of young people in particular and an effort to corral it within the confines of the existing system. However, This Giant Beast’s very unconvincing quality, rooted in the unstable and politically inconsistent social milieu that produced it, is unlikely to have the desired effect.

The forum has no mirrors at this time.

Buyers guideline

Most importantly all individuals are benevolently approached to be straightforward in regards to bundle conveyance, item quality and transportation conditions. This aides keeping up a confided in system, which is a noteworthy premise in shrouded web commercial centers. Con artists are not endured and are immediately recognized all things considered. As a purchaser you can pay special mind to a "confided in seller" mark. Merchants with this mark have a progressed confided in status, which implies they have ended up being dependable and they have a long history of fruitful exchanges and positive purchaser relations. Merchants without the believed seller status are undoubtedly dependable as well, however they are either new on this market or they didn't make a difference for a confided in merchant status on this site.

Secure your account

Do not use the same password on other sites, especially not other markets
Change your password regularly
Use a strong password

Bitcoin usage

In order to be able to do purchases you have to use tor and bitcoins to use this site. You will see your bitcoin deposit immediately immediately after making a purchase as WallStreet Market uses 2/3 Multisig to processed a transaction rather than standard wallets.

Here is a good tutorial about how to use Bitcoins: Getting started with Bitcoin

Protect yourself with PGP

To ensure yourself you ought to favor secure encoded informing with PGP. Particularly when you leave your postal location you are urged to scramble those data. WallStreet Market underpins programmed encryption of your messages. All sellers support PGP and have determined an open PGP key on their profile. In the event that you scramble messages utilizing their open key you can make certain that just the seller can peruse you message and your postal location is sheltered from spillage to any association, including WallStreet Market.

There are aides and instructional exercises about how to utilize PGP which you can discover on the web.

Linux is the most secure working arrangement of these 3 recorded working frameworks from above, in light of the fact that Microsoft and Apple can't be completely trusted and whose source code isn't open source.

Escrow protection

Escrow is a sheltered strategy to arrange on the web and is utilized all over the place. When you request an item with the escrow technique then the cash isn't straightforwardly exchanged to the seller after the checkout procedure, yet it is bolted. When you get the bundle you settle the request from you shopping basket page. With this progression the merchant is paid.

Order process

After your bitcoin store has been affirmed you can arrange the ideal item if your parity isn't excessively low. The merchant will get the request data in a flash, no further activity is required. Anyway the merchant should be online to see the new request.

While you have open requests which have not yet been concluded you are required to check your message confine consistently case the seller has open inquiries.

After you have gotten the bundle you need to conclude the request. With this progression the escrow is discharged and the seller is paid. It would be ideal if you leave sufficient input and rating stars while finishing the request. You can refresh the criticism and rating stars after you have settled. When leaving criticism for a request you should just give negative input after you have reached the seller to give him a possibility of settling the issues.

In case of problems

If you do not receive the order after an adequate time you have the possibility to open a dispute. Please contact the vendor first before you open a dispute. Please be honest when you open a dispute, do not open a dispute if you have received the package. You will find the dispute link from your order detail page, which is linked in your cart view.

Vendors guideline

Vendors must promise to safeguard all customer data at all times (erase customer details after order is complete).

Vendor application

Registration as vendor requires a deposit of vendor bond, which is paid back when the vendor revokes his vendor status. Application for vendor status can be done within WallStreet Market.

Forbidden products and services

Assassinations or any other services which constitute doing harm to another.
Weapons of mass destruction: chemical, biological, explosives, etc.
Weapons.
Poisons.
Child pornography.
Live action snuff/hurt/murder audio/video/images.

Listing products

You can list products after you have applied for vendor status. Products are listed in the market after your vendor application has been approved. To add a product go to the "Manage Offers" page and click "Add Item". Product images should have the correct vendor name and date in it. One product can have multiple images.

Requesting FE (Finalize Early)

Asking customers for finalizing early is only allowed for verified vendors. Asking for finalize early should not be done without permission from support. Doing otherwise may result in suspended vendor account.

NavCoin Marketing Campaign Portuguese

Greater engagement with video production, content, partnerships, support on social networks and Telegram.
Content in Portuguese and dissemination in channels relevant to the topic, in order to create a larger Portuguese community.

Who are we?
I’m from Brazil and I’ve known NavCoin for 2 years. After realizing that the Portuguese NAV community needed to be more active, I had the idea to discuss this proposal.
We will also create tutorial videos (eg, what is NavCoin, review, updates)
Videos of the NavCoin channel on Youtube will be translated into Portuguese, although it has subtitles, the videos spoken in Portuguese are much easier to understand and pass the message 100%.
And that’s what I want to do in a more professional way.

So what are we going to do?
• Let’s create our own content and translate it into Portuguese (explanatory videos, etc.). 2 videos per week
• We will publish content on Youtube, Facebook, Medium, Telegram, Instagram daily.
• We will translate all official NavCoin news and announcements into Portuguese and published on Facebook, Telegram, Medium, Youtube.
• We will promote content through relevant cryptographic sites in Portuguese.
• Provide support on all social networks and telegrams that will be created
• We will also make some gifts with the NavCoin logo, which will be given to anyone who contributes the NavCoin as a T-shirt, keychain, stickers or mug
• Create new social networks
Bring members, developers who can collaborate with NavCoin

The Portuguese Youtube channel from NavCoin will bring videos with owners of crypto companies to increase relationships and bring benefits to the project

What are our means of dissemination?
• Página do Facebook “Bitcoin Brasil” (https://www.facebook.com/groups/btcbr/)
135 mil membros, grupo portugues sobre o mundo cripto.
• Grupo Telegram “BitcoinInvestimento” ( https://t.me/BitcoinInvestimento )
Grupo Telegram “Investimentos Digitais” ( @InvestimentosDigitaisFree)
• Grupo Telegram “BitcoinBrasil” (https://t.me/brasilbitcoin)
• Grupo Telegram “BitNada” (@BitNada)

All videos and articles will be shared in these groups and channels and some more, as well as all ads (with translation in Portuguese).

If the fund is approved, we will make an
-Particles with crypto media site
-Video production and video editing equipment
- Growth in social networks
- Present and all we can to expand the community and bring knowledge of NavCoin to all.

We will give greater visibility with this proposal and activate the Portuguese community 100%, NavCoin already has a great project and with this initiative and maintaining for a while we are sure that we will be one of the largest Portuguese communities, we are excited to grow!

We will include three countries that speak Portuguese

-Portugal, Brazil, Angola.

Cust: 1748 NAV

Duration: 1 month

And at the end of 1 month will be sent a report of everything that was done and the degree of growth of the Portuguese NavCoin for a community evaluation if we want to continue with this growth of Portuguese NavCoin, in the future we want to have presence and lectures in the main events of Brazil and Portuguese languages to develop strong partnerships.

Below are some photos of the events I’ve attended and examples of some gifts that will be made

I found a $600k BCH theft that has gone unnoticed

Hello all, I'm (among other things) a graduate student getting a master's degree in cybersecurity. This last quarter for one of my classes, I was tasked to examine and recreate an exploit. For the actual exploit I was examining the "anyone can spend" segwit addresses on the BCH chain, and in my research I found a $600k theft that seems to have gone completely unnoticed.

You all might recall this $600k theft of segwit addresses, but it happened again in mid-February 2018 and there has been zero news about it.

BCH block 517171 contains solely segwit-stealing transactions. If you look at any given transaction, the inputs are all segwit program hashes spending a P2SH segwit output. I only caught it by accident, as I was originally going to talk about the publicized November attack.

The interesting thing I discovered about this was that it's harder to have stolen that segwit money than most people think. Both Unlimited and ABC nodes do not relay segwit-spending transactions, and Bitcoin ABC hard-coded in fRequireStandard, so you couldn't even force-relay them with a conf option. On top of that, miners keep their node IPs private for obvious avoiding-ddos-and-sybil-attack reasons, which means it's impossible to directly send transactions to miners. This means that the only way to actually execute this attack was to setup one's own mining pool running on a custom-modified client to allow non-standard transactions. Then you'd have to get enough hash power to mine a block yourself. I estimated the cost of renting enough hash power to do this at the time as around $30k-$60k to have a greater than 90% chance of mining a block within a 3 month window.

In order to simulate the attack, I spun up BTC, LTC, and BCH nodes in Docker, and wrote a Python script. The Python script started at segwit activation on BTC and LTC and it scanned every transaction in every block looking for P2SH segwit inputs as well as native segwit outputs, since these are the necessary hash pre-images to spend P2SH segwit money on the BCH chain. The script then also scanned the BCH chain for any native segwit outputs, as well as recording all P2SH outputs. (This was all saved in a MySQL database.) Then, at any point in time, I could simply query for BCH unspent native segwit outputs as well as P2SH outputs for which I had a known segwit hash pre-image. (If this was an attack I was doing real-time, I would probably also have a large mempool on each node and monitor unconfirmed tx's for useful info as well, but since this was after the fact, I just queried blocks sequentially.)

For the mining node that runs the pool, it would need to be firewalled behind (i.e. only connected to) an unmodified node in blocks-only mode, so that the segwit hash pre-images aren't transmitted out to the network, and so that no other unconfirmed transactions are transmitted in to the mining node. (The mining node should only be filling its block with segwit tx's in order to maximize the gain from the attack.)

Then a script should run continuously to grab segwit utxos from the MySQL database and construct high-fee transactions to send directly to the mining node. Unlike the November attack, each input should be spent in its own individual transaction, so that in the event it is individually spent, I don't negate a tx with other inputs. The overhead on having different transactions for each input is only about 8 extra bytes (the tx version and the locktime), so I think this is a good trade-off.

Then, the attacker simply rents hashing power and points it at his secret pool.

By the time February rolled around and the attack happened, my MySQL database had about 40 million BCH P2SH outputs and each query took about 3 minutes to execute. This of course would have been fine in the 10-minute block world of Bitcoin and BCH, but it means that I stopped my Python script after that time, so I don't know about any possible other attacks that happened before the clean stack rule was hard-forked into BCH.

It was pretty interesting to work through how this attack must have happened, and it was significantly harder to execute than I thought it would be given that all the money was "anyone can spend".

However, the most interesting thing about all this is that nobody has noticed. There is literally no news or mention of block 517171 or any of the transactions in it. My theory is that it is money that nobody misses -- i.e. misprogrammed custom wallet software for BTC nodes accidentally also sent out BCH transactions to the same address, given that BTC and BCH shared the same history until August 2017. And whatever person or entity is running those nodes is only thinking about BTC money and is completely oblivious to its misprogrammed problem of shipping BCH to segwit P2SH addresses.

Obviously, that's just a theory, but I think it's pretty reasonable. Given the intense community divide, I think it's very possible that a number of BTC users simply ignored money on the BCH chain, even though it's "free money" for them, simply out of ideological hatred.

Whatever the case, nobody has posted anywhere complaining of money stolen in that block. It seems to have gone completely unnoticed. (Which is why I'm posting this.) It was an interesting case study and I'd be curious to hear if anybody has any addition information or thoughts about it. I believe this was a different person than the November theft, because the way it was done was different -- the November theft had all the money in one transaction, but this February theft was done with separate individual transactions. Additionally worth noting is that the address which received the bulk of the money is still active, which means they're still out there.

Anyway, I thought this was interesting and worth posting.

Whitepaper to product: how long does the average crypto take to the real world?

Hi. I have an interest in computer science. This naturally brings me here because there is so much interesting work going on.
Where would be the best place to find the following information :
* when was a crypto created.

when was its whitepaper released.
do they have a product that is being used?

I have a total of $50 invested in Crypto (mostly for test purposes), but I think there is a problem in the space.

People here may consider themselves "in at the start", but bitcoin is over a decade old.

Its past time that investment in the space was better routed.

projects being used today should have a higher investment percentage. This includes bitcoin (sorry nano friends) because bitcoin is used even if not for its intended purpose.
projects in the process of being adopted should be next priority: think bat, VET. These projects are already being used, just not at 100%.
the smallest percentage should be attributed to projects that do not have a working product, or are no where near finishing.

We need to stop treating this space like a giant casino. Ironically investment in the correct ratio gives the best chance for yield in the event of an expanding market. When new money finally enters this space its probably not going to be to the most shilled coin.

I intend to create a ranked resource that shows where projects are in reality, so any info about my bullet pointed questions would be helpful.

Thanks.

NASGO TOKEN

The NASGO is a platform has decentralized networks that make it ideal for opening up several opportunities to conduct e-commerce with the global technology blockchain. It is immune to a single point of failure. The platform connects publishers and developers to a community of global client, whose source of joy comes from solutions that are simple and easy to use.

NASGO enables anyone to issue and distribute a tokenized asset.

Nasgo and ShareNode have been labeled as MLM cryptocurrency securities fraud according to Behind MLM. Affiliates only need to sign up, invest in SNP and NSG tokens and receive an ROI in Bitcoin (BTC). At the same time, these firms pay pyramid commissions on the recruitment of new affiliates.

Nasgo held some events in Vietnam informing that they were partnering with Chinese governments, something that was going to be a game changer for Nasgo and blockchain technology.

Apparently, there were also some partnerships with the Cambodian government to be a blockchain source. They have said the same about China since there are many countries lined up to be their blockchain source.

However, no government has mentioned anything about these partnerships or agreements with Nasgo or ShareNode. Indeed, no other country has publicly expressed interest in Nasgo’s blockchain platform.

NASGO provides the important foundation to sidechain with many types of APIs, which include database writing, encryption, and network communications. The sidechain can supply more nodes to make the whole NASGO system stronger.

The developers can use the already nodes as long as the owners of the nodes give them permission to use the nodes The NSG, which is the main currency of the NASGO mainchain, is transferable to the sidechain. The development of Bitcoinmade it possible to use a decentralized system of currency. After many years of developing, it became clear that the blockchain technology could be used in all fields.

The main idea with the Nasgo Mainnet is to give the user a control system whereas you use a decentralized cloud server where you can put your website and products or services in front of a world stage. Even in countries where your I.P. is blocked, it can now be viewed. Much like a costly VPN, but now you have it along with other benefits through Nasgo.

Plus, you have the ability to build all the decentralized applications right through the system. These are known as Dapps.

Nasgo also can let you set up payment gateways that will work anywhere in the world. Plus, if you have developed Dapps and another Nasgo user may be interested in the same or similar Dapp, you can sell or rent for NSG (Nasgo tokens)

Nasgo Blockchain Network For Crypto Payments Features

Dapps Store

The Dapps store by NASGO will provide small and medium enterprises with unmatched access to a huge database of customers in a decentralized way. The NASGO Dapps are applications that are based on the blockchain platform. The Dapps work on their custom sidechain, which makes it easy for developers to make decentralized applications that utilize NSG as an internal currency or token. Each Dapp has a unique private sidechain of its own that operates in synchronization with the NASGO current block height and block time.

Custom Assets

NASGO can provide a client that is simple to use. This enables you to issue a blockchain asset without necessarily having to write a code. As a user on the NASGO platform, you can trade these assets with the NASGO tokens, which are able to move from the sidechain in a decentralized manner. It is also possible to trade them with other currencies in a centralized exchange.

Pegged Side Chain

The NASGO system can provide a development tool where the developers can create a basic sidechain system easily. The developers also can fully customize their side chain systems, which include their consensus algorithms, account architecture, and trading mode.

Nasgo Benefits

Easy To Use
