Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
This is good for Bitcoin.
Unironically though it does seem as the western economies collapse we're seeing people pull money out of less conventional things like Bitcoin and 401ks to try to make ends meet. The Real Fun time happens when those start running dry and people still can't make ends meet. Capitalism must drain all of these savings and savings adjacent accounts to continue to prop itself up; once those are empty it will have to find yet another source of "value"
I already had to liquidate my IRA to make ends meet this year. And I think we are relatively well off when it comes to income.
I had a pizza delivery driver, she was maybe 50-60 years old, the other day venting to me how she didn't usually take on the night shifts because it's to dark out for her, but she has to. Then she apologized for venting to a customer but I tried to let her know I understood.
The working class in this country is just so worn thin at this point and we have nothing to show for it. This Christmas is going to be a disaster for the retail sector.

People are also already selling plasma too, so I can’t even make the joke about selling our literal bodies to make ends meet…
selling kidneys next
Time for the 50 year mortgage
Jesus christ it's worth over 96k now?
I almost bought $1k of it in 2009 😭
I did buy over $700 of it in 2012 with the intent to use it to buy drugs. But I lost the passkey to my wallet (see: drugs). It's still there in that wallet, in the tens of thousands of dollars or something, maybe more but it's too painful to do the math. I can still remember the first half of the pass phrase too. If I remembered the second half of the passphrase it would change my life in a bigger way than anything else ever has (yay for being below poverty-line level of poor). It's gone, though. There is no way I will ever remember it. I console myself by telling myself that if I hadn't lost the password, it just would have gone to drugs, which is true. I'm still haunted by it anyway.
How many digits are the missing part of the key?
Aw hell no. Can you get a nerd to help you run an automated brute force on it?
It sounds like you probably have enough info about the key to reduce the complexity and time to crack the key significantly.
I've lost bitcoin too but it's gone gone.
I think a few weeks ago it was around $128k
I remember when my friend was telling me about it when it was $0.08. I could have bought $100 or more at the time easily but felt like it was never gonna take off.
bitcoin black friday sale: 90% off!
but really though this just means the ghouls are liquidating their supply so they can pump it back up again
It does that after every run up. Whenever you sees it trending, always expect a dump shortly after.
here's hoping
