How to build a secure computer for storing digital crypto assets

[johnarb]

You can just run your own email server, considering the steps you have outlined here. Or at least use protonmail. Other anon email services already exist.
Also, why use Chrome? I stopped using Chrome for everything over a year ago, and Im kinda late to that party.

Running your own mail server requires registration and many potential surface attacks for being hacked and doxxed, a certain female political figure has been an example. Email servers are not secure, have you heard of Yahoo mail over 1 billion users that were hacked?

Have you ever run an email server?

Chrome is the best for extensions and if you're going to entrust large value, you should make sure it's solid and will not have issues

You would know this by the many reported problems with Firefox and Brave browser

If you read the whole thread, I've mentioned the purpose of the thread is to protect against the vast majority of adversaries but there are levels to security

This thread will not protect you if you become a target by state actors or a well capitalized team of hackers, nor should you worry about those threats if your crypto assets value is less than $1M

If you hold more, then go hire a team of security specialists to design a solution for you

Was. No one is moving those coins because Kleiman is not around anymore. Craig tried to get the keys from his family, hence the trial case.

A true engineer would study the key technical details of those 1 Million bitcoins worth over $26 Billion rather than rely on subjective word salad of a legalese court case

How about providing us with your software engineering assessment of those 1M bitcoins that belong to Satoshi Nakamoto?

This came out of nowhere, how are you doing Johnny? Did you get a hit with your beloved coin?
How much have you lost?

Nah, dude, I cannot lose with Bitcoin, everything I have is profits, lol

Anyway, been lazy at times, so not engaging much on ET, so I circled back on cryptjitsu yesterday and also your post, need to call out your engineering skillz, dude

Let's have a technical discussion, can tell us technical info on those over 1 million bitcoins belonging to Satoshi,?

The question has nothing technical to talk about. That Satoshi dude has 1 million coins, presumably Kleiman had that and now Craig has it as part of what he got from Kleiman's drive, he doesn't seem to have the keys as far as I understand. So what?

Bitcoin's blockchain is a transparent public ledger

You read or heard that this Satoshi guy has over 1M bitcoins and you have no technical information where they are

Satoshi has the most amount of bitcoins but you don't know how he acquired them (hint: mining) and don't know how to track them?

Why don't you google the top 100 biggest bitcoin wallet addresses and point to us Satoshi's wallet?

As a software engineer, you must have some methodologies best practices on how to gather technical specs, scope of work, and all that mumbo jumbo stuff, don't you?

Hey John, since you've spent easily a decade now on reading everything you could, do you have any personal ideas as to who Satoshi is? Also, do you think he has the keys to these coins or do you think he was just mining and randomly picking addresses in order to get it going?

I haven't looked into this at all, nor do I know what the distribution of those coins is (ie. did multiple blocks mined use the same address for the coinbase transaction hence maybe there are tons of addresses with over 1,000 coins each?)

Today, given the continual bitcoin progress, it would be easy to have a million different addresses all controlled by the same private key, but I'm fairly certain there was no way to do this is 2009/10. So Satoshi either kept very good records of what the private keys were to all those addresses, or he didn't care to ever spend those coins, which is my gut feeling.

And you never thought that I don't care and I have more interesting things to do?

I did not care much who Satoshi was/is or were/are, but my vote for what very little info I've read is either Nick Szabo or Hal Finney

There's only one known transaction that Satoshi ever made which was to send btc to Hal

There's only 1 private key for 1 public key, so Satoshi had over 20,000 private keys, my guess, he never saved any, just mining the rewards to addresses he never saved the private keys to

BIP 39 (seed phrase) was introduced in 2013 long after Satoshi disappeared and stopped mining (Bitcoin did not need Satoshi's mining power, the incentives structure of the network was more than sufficient)

Without BIP 39, would have been an enormous amount of effort to manage over 20,000 private keys

You pushed the idea of Kleimann as Satoshi backed with 0 technical reasoning, it was ridiculous

Yet, you claim to be some hotshot software engineer but do not exhibit any engineering thought processes, your claim sounds highly doubtful, but whateverz, dude, anyone can claim anything on ET

You're still stuck on your fiat job, but had you invested a paltry sum in bitcoin or eth 7 years ago, you'd be retired by now instead of working on your "hated profession" (your words) and you'd be on the side of Bitcoiners
