BTC BROKEN????

<Barietos> oh shit did i tell you about the thing
<Nardz> what thing
<Barietos> about the btc hashing algo
<Barietos> i did it
<Barietos> i can exploit bitcoin
<Nardz> haha what
<Barietos> well kinda
<Barietos> but it will be a shitstorm
<Barietos> do you remember in class with dr [REDACTED!!] mentioned the sha256 attacks
<Barietos> it was like two weeks ago
*** Melportant is now known as Melporting
<Nardz> kinda
<Nardz> i was out some of the days early for vacation
<Nardz> which one
<Barietos> ok well sha256 can break 46 out of 60 rounds
<Barietos> or i mean the best attacks can break 46 of 60 rounds
<Nardz> what you broke it
<Barietos> no i didn’t, you can’t
<Barietos> it’s not linear

<Barietos> but if you generate the right rainbow tables and have a custom asic you can speed it up
<Barietos> and you can hash much much faster
<Barietos> and guess who just got his custom asic boards set up :DDDDDDDD
<Nardz> what the fuck did you do
<Barietos> it’s unbelievable
<Barietos> i didn’t believe it when i did it
<Barietos> but i checked it
<Barietos> you know how when you mine you are just looking for strings that you hash with the old blocks
<Barietos> to match the leading zeros
<Nardz> yeah yeah
<Barietos> you can kinda sorta half-calculate half-guess the string
<Barietos> or rather you can narrow the search space quite a bit
<Barietos> with the right rainbow tables
<Barietos> generated from the other blocks in the blockchain
<Barietos> but you need a lot of blocks
<Nardz> how many
<Barietos> that’s the thing
*** willzon [[email protected]] has left #tehtearoom []
<Barietos> using the asic i made you only need like 370k or so
<Barietos> and there is like 490k blocks already
<Barietos> and then you precompute a bunch of tables from that
<Nardz> this is bullshit
<Barietos> no it’s not
<Barietos> you precompute 5 million entries
<Barietos> i can fucking mine blocks 100x faster now
<Barietos> and I got the asic with the precomputed tables set up
<Nardz> what like a real custom asic
<Nardz> that’s like a million $$$
<Barietos> no it’s just the test FPGA from my adv hardware design class
<Barietos> but the lab where [REDACTED!!!] so i got 120 of them cloned
<Barietos> so it’s slower than a real custom asic but still fast
<Barietos> with the asic tables it’s like 10000x speedup
<Nardz> WTFFFFFF you are going to mine all the bitcoins????
<Barietos> YES
<Barietos> actually no
<Barietos> i can’t
<Barietos> if I do it people will know what’s up
<Barietos> it will be obvious
<Barietos> the network will trace my ip
<Barietos> even if I mask it through tor or whatever
<Barietos> you think if I’m suddenly making bank and mining all the blocks super fast
<Barietos> everyone won’t come and kill me?
<Nardz> lol
<Barietos> or at least interview me and dox me
<Barietos> that’s the same thing
<Barietos> some russian gangsters will probly kill me
<Barietos> because they make all their money from the ico scams
<Nardz> maybe some crypto company will offer you a job
<Barietos> yea that’s best case maybe
<Nardz> i still don’t believe this
<Nardz> what are you going to do
<Nardz> can you mine some coins for me
<Nardz> just one plz
<Nardz> i mean i believe you but prove it
<Barietos> lol
<Barietos> i can run it and mine like one block in 40 minutes
<Barietos> thats 50 coins rn
<Nardz> holy fuck
<Nardz> fuck man mine one
<Barietos> i did
<Barietos> i mined two
<Barietos> but i freaked out and turned it off
<Nardz> you have a HUNDRED FUCKING BITCOINS
<Nardz> THATS A MILLION DOLLARS
<Nardz> in 90 minutes
<Barietos> yeah
<Nardz> WTF
<Nardz> holy shit
<Barietos> so uni is paid for
<Barietos> and a lambo :DDDD
<Nardz> i don’t believe this
<Nardz> send me a coin
<Barietos> lol
<Nardz> since you have them to spare
<Barietos> ok
<Barietos> hold on
<Barietos> what address
<Nardz> [REDACTED!!!!]
<Nardz> no way
<Barietos> check it
<Barietos> it’s there
<Barietos> i even gave you some extra ;P
<Nardz> FUCKKKKKKKK
<Nardz> you are shitting me
<Nardz> this is a trick
<Nardz> like a trick you spent $10k on..
<Nardz> ......
<Nardz> no way
<Nardz> ... this is real?
<Barietos> yep
<Barietos> but i can’t move it
<Barietos> now i understand money laundering laws
<Barietos> it all makes sense now
<Barietos> because I can’t move it
<Barietos> i can’t convert it to dollars
<Barietos> without a huge tax bill
<Nardz> just buy everything with btc
<Barietos> no see the irs notices if you suddenly buy a ton of stuff
<Barietos> or people report you
<Barietos> what do you think ive been researching for a day now
<Barietos> how the irs gets you
<Barietos> plus they are all over coinbase and crypto these days
<Nardz> dude just mine a few more hours and pay the damn taxes
<Barietos> yeah i can do that
<Barietos> but the real thing is that as soon as i do everyone on the network knows something is up
<Barietos> i think this is a vuln in sha256
<Barietos> it’s not like “oh i made a better asic”
<Barietos> it’s “i exploited a vuln and i can exploit it hella fast using this asic”
<Barietos> or fpga whatever
<Barietos> i mean yeah i can pay for a custom real asic now
<Nardz> so you fucked us all
<Nardz> bitcoin is dead
<Nardz> if this gets out
<Barietos> yepppppppp
<Barietos> even if i don’t do anything
<Barietos> someone else will figure it out
<Barietos> it could be like [REDACTED!!!!] in our class

[REDACTED PERSONAL SHITE!!!]

<Barietos> so i need some way to get out
<Barietos> like cash out enough but not too much and take the tax hit
<Nardz> you can send them to a cold wallet and wait until its over
<Barietos> no
<Nardz> wait youre right that doesn’t work
<Barietos> yeah it doesn’t
<Barietos> it doesn’t ever blow over
<Barietos> btc is done
<Barietos> if i store coins theyre never going to be worth anything
<Barietos> and i have to do it fast in case someone else figures this out
<Nardz> fuck i am selling my btc now
<Nardz> is eth affected too?
<Barietos> no it’s a different hash function
<Barietos> ltc isn’t either
<Barietos> though i suspect someone can do a similar thing with litecoin
<Barietos> i haven’t tried
<Nardz> at least you didn’t destroy all crypto
<Barietos> yeah
<Nardz> so what are you going to do
<Nardz> i should sell my btc now right?
<Barietos> yeah you should
<Barietos> i think my plan is:
<Barietos> 1- sell all my btc
<Barietos> 2- mine 2 blocks a day and sell them
<Barietos> and take the tax hit
<Barietos> i have to do that
<Barietos> i’ll just say i bought a bunch when btc was $5 and am selling because it’s $10k
*** borrakin [[email protected]] has joined #tehtearoom
<Barietos> i’ll do that for a week
<Barietos> that’s a few mil
<Barietos> enough for life
<Barietos> pull the money out of the exchange to my bank
<Barietos> say i left them in a paper wallet and found them over thanksgiving at my parents
<Barietos> 3- then run it on full and mine the shit out of everything
<Barietos> they’ll notice and someone will figure it out and the price will probly crash
<Barietos> but i can keep selling as it drops
<Barietos> and then whatever the exchange lets me pull out as fiat will be gravy
<Barietos> so you got a week to sell yours and withdraw the $$$
<Barietos> or convert to eth or zcash or ltc or whatever
<Barietos> but those will probly fall too at the same time
<Nardz> when are you going to do this
<Barietos> i figure
<Barietos> next friday? maybe
<Barietos> all the miners are in china
<Barietos> i want to do it while they’re sleeping
<Barietos> and into the weekend
<Barietos> so they will be slowest to notice and news is slower over the weekend
<Barietos> gives me the best chance to go as long as i can
<Nardz> hm good plan
<Nardz> you really going to do this
<Barietos> i have to
<Barietos> btc is dead
<Barietos> but crypto isn’t
<Barietos> so we might as well clear away the deadwood and move on
<Barietos> plus tbh i am scared
<Barietos> i’ll run it from the network ports at [REDACTED!!!!]
<Barietos> then i guess i move to bvi or monaco if they figure out its me
<Nardz> lol
<Nardz> what about [REDACTED!!!!]
<Barietos> she can come with
<Nardz> lol she was right that bitcoin is a scam
<Nardz> ironic
<Barietos> lol yeah
<Barietos> guess so
<Nardz> this is still unbelieveable
<Nardz> but i’m looking at the btc you sent
<Barietos> its real
<Barietos> i already sold my btc i had before
<Barietos> the ones i mined i put in another address on the trezor
<Barietos> haven’t sent any to the exchanges yet
<Nardz> [REDACTED!!!!] is gonna be pissed
<Nardz> all his net worth is in btc
<Barietos> lolololol i forgot you’re right he is
<Barietos> well fuck him
<Barietos> ok
<Barietos> so i’m doing this
<Barietos> i’ll let you know friday before i start mining continuously
<Nardz> i’ll bring the popcorn and we can watch the price drop
<Barietos> lol you do that
