Pee pee poo poo

>>25894482
what now?
since when was this happening?
is he using brute force or something?

>>25894482
My noob friend posted this earlier

I would try:
>HitlerDidNothingWrong1488

He could have easily sold it to a company for at least $10m

>>25894482
Yet another reason why crypto is for faggots

thats why i use the same password everywhere

That has to suck

>>25894640
you mean crypto is natural selection and faggots don't make it

>>25894482
why didnt that retard store a backup seedphrase anywhere?

>>25894482
what happens if he gets it wrong too more times

that guy is one of the ripple founders btw. This is whomst you trust

Ngl as a late-adopter I love these stories

cool this just increases scarcity even more

>>25894678
>oops forgot my pass phrase, there goes my life savings!
>Tee hee you should have remembered, survival of the fittest tee hee

This is bullish

>>25894764
exactly

you are supposed to figure a failsafe way of storage if you care about your money

>>25894731
Permanently locked away.

>>25894666
Based

>>25894534
I mean, that’s my password

>>25894731
>>25894827
Think of it as buying gold, burying out somewhere in bum-fuck nowhere and marking the spot on a map with an X, only to then lose the only map that shows where it is. The gold still exists and will never go away but it's permanently lost. It's the same principal with this retard.

>>25894827
why is this even a thing? seems retarded

>>25894801
>tee hee you should have written down your pass phrase tee hee this is darwinism, you should have gotten a tattoo tee hee

can't he make infinite copies of the contents of the hard drive before it encrypts

Thats why I just have my phrase hand written and buried in my backyard and a copy in the middle of nowhere. Nobody knows I hold crypto anyways

>>25894482
Your sacrifice will not go unnoticed

>>25895032
just tattoo it to your forehead

>get to the airport luggage pickup
>wtf wheres my luggage
>sorry sir you should've written your name on it
>WTF IS THIS AIRPORTS ARE FOR FAGS
i would throw a brick at your head if you were anywhere near me

>>25894992
Getting a tattoo isn't very secure since someone else will eventually see it, defeating the entire purpose of a tattoo. Yes, devising a fool-proof method (or as close as you can get) for accessing your wallet is on you. It's a personal responsibility. And yes, it is indeed natural selection as far as success in the crypto space is concerned.

>>25894588
You are retarded.

kek if he fails quantum computers will only save him and by that time crypto will be worthless

>>25894666
nice try satan

>>25895143
'now' and 'not' is a common typo.

>>25895097
>oh fuck my $220 million was in that luggage
>if only I "put my name" on it

Yeah niggers are pretty violent, you've proven that

>>25894941
nah cause someone can still find the gold and get it if you look enough. in this case its burned for good unless i guess you use a mega computer if thats even possible

>>25894482
Why doesn’t he just click the “Forgot Password?” Tab and reset it?

>>25895141
>tee hee he lost 200 million because his HD failed, tee hee. Learn computers cryptolet, tee hee

This means the market is going to tank.

>>25895289
literally me, haha i gotta go change my syntax now

>>25895289
>>25894482
Holy shit im getting massive second hand anxiety from this
I guess he's using some dumbass online wallet or something. Think of all the times you put in the correct password to some site and it rejected it because it fucked up

>>25895283
why do you greentext something that is obviously true? learn to take responsibility for your money, that lack of middle man is the entire point of crypto

>>25895315
why would it tank? this translates to one more retard who won't dump his btc on us

>>25895355
he is using some retarded encryption wallet that deletes your shit forever if you mistype the password 10 times. Funny to see silicon valley midwits fail so hard at this

>>25895358
>tee hee he didn't quadruple backup his pass phrase with offsite backups! tee hee he didn't replicate to east AND west coast? learn computers, cryptolet tee hee tee hee

>>25895289
oh my. i better go change my SSN

>>25894482
unironically should try DMT like that anon on twitter said. It can really make you recall stuff from the past due to enhanced neurplasticity.

>>25895471

>tee hee he didn't take the right dose and he forgot his passphrase tee hee lost $200 million, learn drugs druglet teehee

>>25894941
You can still find the gold if you search long enough lol.

>>25895414
xumm has the same 10 times rule.

>should I keep it on the exchange wallet instead of nano ledger or xumm?

>>25895517
>MF tDM
close enough. vaping spice is always the answer

Why not have you passphrase saved on a USB/External drive and keep it in cold storage somewhere safe? No one can touch it then

>>25894588
>flexing that you "know how crypto works"
>the problem is not even related with crypto it's just some meme secure hard disk
fuck off faggot I'm not checking those

Early adopters are checking their early privileges

>>25895556

>200m go poof, should have replicated the passphrase to the cloud, crypolet, teeheee

>>25894666
yo, check yourself on haveibeenpwned.com

>omg this crypolet should have read crypto for dummies and got his degree in cryptology, what a cryptolet, teehee

>hold my LINKs on Coinbase
>Coinbase fucks something up
>kill ceo(in League Of Legends)
I sleep like a baby

This is why I keep all my passwords in keepass backuped on several devices behind simple password only I could guess.

>>25895315

>>25895577
I don't see the point you're trying to make anon. Everything you're saying is unironically right, take responsibility for your fuckups.

>>25894482
If you read the article, that was only a fraction of his bitcoin holdings. He lost $220 million, but his gains eclipse that.

>>25896113
>tee hee he didn't replicate his passphrase on his dick, cryptolet tee hee

>>25896212
did you watch south park this week?

>>25896212
>He didn't keep a simple backup of a very important passphrase

Yes that person does deserve to be laughed at.

I hope this guy figures out the password. I'm rooting for him :^)

>>25896248
>tee hee, learn to write your password down cryptolet tee hee

>>25894482
Hang on... wut? He is trying to guess his private key? Since when does it "lock you out", anway?
inb4 Trezor.

I have no idea what is going on anymore

>>25894666
Your digits are checked.

>>25896321
I'm glad we agree

I bet some data recovery company will buy it from him for 2 million.

>>25896372
>poor cryptolet didn't write his password down, should have stapled it to his asshole tee hee

>>25896419
Yes, shove it up your ass so you don't lose it stupid normie fuck

>>25894666
Incredibly based

>>25896460
>tee hee he didn't shove his password in his asshole like me tee hee

>>25896341
he's some big brain fool who programmed his own PC to encrypt itself forever on 10 bad passwords. it's beyond retarded

>>25896413
The galaxy brain move is that there was never any crypto on the drive to begin with.

Bet you motherfuckers know an entire song word for word but can't come up with a mnemonic to string together and remember twelve NGMI

probably just nigger123

>>25894482
imagine if he guesses right

>>25894482
Time to do some hypnosis

>>25894482
Cant they somehow clone everything on the key to copy it so he can use that 2 guess multiple times?

I mean with 200m on the line it would be worth it to higher some engineer geniuses to figure out how to clone it.

>>25896565
wtf how did you know my default password

desu I'd just try "1234". Works most of the time

>>25896706
a lot of people have replied to the article calling him a retard, saying he could just pay the company that made the drive he's using to unlock it

>>25896754
that was my go-to back in 2006-2009 for all my low security shit

>password is supposed to protect you
>locks you out instead
I have never used passwords on any of my phones and nothing ever happened. My neighbor and friend had passwords on their smartphones and they got locked out and had a a lot of frustrating attempts

>>25894482
>>25894588
This doesn't make any sense
what kind of wallet locks your private keys after X many guesses?

>>25894666
I tattooed my password behind my ear.

>>25894482
try hunter2

Can someone explain why he cant just make a copy and try to crack it offline. When it fails, just try another copy. Don't tell me his wallet needs to connect to the internet to verify itself, or that it can tell if its been copied. Someone smarter than me explain it to me.

>>25896910
It's not a private wallet, it's just some hard drive/thumb drive that destroys itself after 10 wrong guesses. I guess that's what passed for secure before actual hardware wallets were created

>>25894666
My password is your digits

>>25897454
Kek. He got cucked by his own security device. His hard drive was nothing more than a digital Chastity belt

>>25896525
Isn't the drive just a key to unlock your wallet's blockchain address?

>>25897454
Can't you make a copy of a thumbdrive?

What kind of retarded wallet locks out after attempts?

>>25894482
probably an attempt to persuade the manufacturer to provide him with a backdoor, then split the bounty with them and the journo friend

>>25895249
You have better chances of having sex than that

>>25895003
It’s an hardware encryption device and tamperproof. Does not allow cloning.

>>25897767
This. just sector copy the drive to another and copy the GUID over. that shit fools Intel TPM, so should give you '2 guesses' indefinitely.

>>25897454
So he doesnt even have access to the private keys, everything is locked behind some encryption program? Damn thats sad.

>>25895289

>>25894482
Bullish, this means they are lost to the nether and there is an amount of BTC gone from the circulating supply forever. A HODL for eternity.

>>25896505
What? Isn't that trivially "fixable" for unlimited guesses by making a byte by byte copy of the drive and then guessing on the copies?

>>25898562
That sounds like a viable idea to my idiot mind. You would want to do that and then mess with the copies completely offline.

>>25894482
did he try "boobs" with a z?
>not writing your password in your secret diary
Ngmi

>>25895196
>>25894992
>>25894764

kinda cringe if I have to be honest

this is the crypto equivalent of "I lost it all in a boating accident"
u brainlets just don't realize it

>>25898631
I guess thinking about it there's likely some unique hardware ID on the drive that could immediately invalidate the data when seen by the software, but for 9 figures I'm sure you could spoof it

>>25895772
>implying you won't get "pwned" by fucking writing it into that fucking site.

>>25899152

>>25894482
Should have kept his bitcorns on the binance

>>25897939

Really? Would this work with an IronKey?

>>25899959
>typing out retarded posts without even checking out the link
that's a bad look

No fucking way the company doesn't have a backdoor

>>25896498
Nigger whats your problem

i lost a metamask with 75 ETH on it and i thought that was harsh. I would probably just kms in that situation

>>25900328
nice

Tfw I use the same password for every thing.

i mined like $10 worth of bitcoin in 2014 over 3 days with my shitty laptop and stopped. Withdrew it from slush's pool into a wallet i cant find, it's now $156.

Why didn't I leave it in the pool and leave the computer on, i could have made $50 a day for a year

>>25900338
Save it, it's all yours my friend

>>25894482
It's "BUYSUTERUSU1000x"
