A German programmer has 2 chances to guess his IronKey password or he’ll lose $280m in Bitcoin

Would appreciate if you post here what max they will allow you. Enjoy the winnings !!!!!

Thanks! It looks like I won't run into any problems with first $25K withdrawal/day is their limit. I will change my limit for the 2nd sale/withdrawal.

I wonder if the hypnotherapy would work better if the client dropped acid first(?).
If I was sitting on $200MM I'd look into that too.
You can bet there'd be no flowerpot unturned on my end.

Ya, imagine giving a hypnotist your password key to a couple hundred mil while zonked out.
Sounds like a great idea.

2 chances left huh?

I'd find the world's best hypnotherapist and pay his/her price. At least give it one try.

Regarding safely storing gold lol.... as someone pointed out here.. it melts easily.

Ya'll are dummies.

If I had decent amount I needed to hide, (which obviously I don't or I wouldn't write this)... I'd melt it down and make a large size flower pot out of a mold cast from an old ugly old flower pot, prime the bitch, spray paint it in some gaudy looking color, fill it with potting soil, and leave it out on the back deck where clovers etc will set in like weeds and make it look all the more worthless looking.

When was the last time any of you read about an ugly 10 gallon flower pot (that weighs a friggin ton) getting stolen off someone's deck?

Gold's easy to hide.
It's called hiding in plain sight.

Dang it vanzandt, Now where am I going to put my 10 gallon flower pot. My wife won't let me bring it into the house.

See, Vanz, that's the problem with old bastuds like you and I. We keep thinking logically and practically.

Apparently, gold is useless. We must embrace the new ideology, because it is flawless and sacrosanct. Gold? HAH! It's YOLO on digital noise, or nothing at all!

The new kids on the block will be digging around in the dirt of your $220 million dollar flowerpot looking for a thumb drive, getting fed up, and leave.

Way of the future.

Thanks!!!!! Hey RedDuke, started my sell process today and also initiated the withdraw for the 1st batch. Email from Coinbase says 1-3 business days for withdrawal to hit the bank.

I'm looking at the limits, there's no way to increase the ACH limits $25K/day, but this is sufficient for me. I can initiate another withdraw tomorrow without waiting for the actual funds to hit my bank account, just going to assume it will be there. This is why we love cryptos, these real world business delays don't exist in cryptos transfers, but I digress

Your friend was mistaken on the limits of the wire transfers. There's no limits. I don't care to do wire transfers and I'm not doing $1M but you need to tell your friend to not give you wrong information.

Thanks for posting this. Coinbase has no limits on wire deposits but it looks like withdrawals have 25k limit for us based investors. At least according to their FAQ.

No worries. I don't see a limit on wires and I didn't see anything when I searched the faq, do you have a link on wire withdrawal limits?

Update: actually, found the section on Coinbase, wire method is recommended for withdrawals higher than $25K

I am based in NYC. If you do not mind me asking where are you? Wonder if we see different info based on where we are.

California. It's possible as NY has stricter rules around cryptos from what I've read, i.e. Bitlicense
