How to build a secure computer for storing digital crypto assets

  1. I hit a nerve there :D

    Take it easy, these pseudo arguments over internet are not worthy of a headache. But if you want to continue throwing liver bile I am sure that you can use something better than "have fun staying poor at your job".

    You crypto boys are facing hard times, repeating the same arguments over and over for years are not interesting anymore. They were fun at some point but now they are rancid, specially when most of you are leaving the boat of the "new future". Still waiting for the great reset?

    It's baffling that someone who claims to be a "software engineer" is so gullible to accept words and hearsays as proofs when there is absolute mathematical proof from software engineering (i.e private keys signature proofs)

    Anyone who claims or suspected to be Satoshi can simply transfer bitcoins using a few of the 20,000+ private keys and until that happens... don't believe anything or anyone, not even the lawyers or courts or judges

    pseudo arguments? Being a toxic maximalist is my "job", lol. I don't get paid to do it... and usually less active during bear markets (mood is down), but I still try to contribute to the efforts as much as I can

    We crypto bros are more annoying during the bull market, so wait till next year :D

    Have fun staying poor

    I'd argue the great reset is already happening, but that's a pseudo argument rabbit hole that gets tiring and have no absolutes, no thanks :D

    High level of crimes, homeless encampments in the major cities, stores closing down, chaos is prevalent, high inflation causing hardships and poverty , smash and grab every day, society is breaking apart I used to be able to walk late at night at these places

    Rather than argue, I moved my family out of that environment :cool:

    Have fun in the great reset :D

  3. You need someone that cares about it to argue with. Maybe a teenager would enter the argument, I read your post and I don't know what to say, to be honest.

    It sounds that you don't have any education, that would explain the constant reference to my title. Graduates don't care about my achievements, they have theirs to worry about.

    That makes sense looking at the stupid list you started this thread with. It all checks out.

    It also checks out that the less qualified in computer science are the best acolytes in the crypto space.

  7. The issue is exactly that we first trust being online, and then it becomes easier to learn these things and use them.

    @Overnight has mastered the arts of disguise in the same way Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne did making it near-impossible for us mere mortals to see through it

    Very sad story loss of 25 bitcoins...

    A couple of items on what likely was the cause

    1. Windows (keylogger, not possible on a clean Linux install)
    2. Password manager (online) and possible passphrase 12-words (the root private key seed phrase stored somewhere online = BIG, HUGE NO-NO)

    My guide involves Bitcoin-core full node wallet for bitcoins (no seed phrase, hardcore private keys on a local file) and for other crypto digital assets, Metamask 12 words not stored online

    All private keys for all crypto digital assets are all locally stored, always

    Backup and recovery for peace of mind that covers location risk-mitigation

    As others have pointed out, seed phrases didn't exit in 2012.

    He also seems to understand that the password manager only had 30 bits of entropy.

    But how would anyone know to try and hack a random password manager in the hopes that there was a seed phrase in there??? I'm not saying he is lying, but the story doesn't add up.
