After losing coins, Bitcoin Core DEV to doubt the self -custody
The Bitcoin-Core developer Luke Dashjr has doubts about the security of the existing memory solutions from Bitcoin after over $ 4 million in coins last month.
The programmer suggested that his practice went far beyond "standard practices" to store his coins, and yet it was successfully robbed.
is Bitcoin safe?
On Monday Dashjr answered another bitcoin on Twitter, who asked how others would spend their money if one day they woke up $ 30 million on their bank account.
Some of the largest supporters of Bitcoin-including the CEO of Microstrategy, Michael Saylor-could work for a 100 % Bitcoin allocation. However, Dashjr advocated a (relatively) modest approach: "Maybe 1000 BTC or something if I could find a way to keep it", he answered
On December 31, dashjr has lost font-weight: 400 "> his entire supply of over 200 BTC to a hacker who, according to the developer, (Pretty Good Privacy) has compromised. A PGP key is an encryption program that offers cryptographic privacy and authentication for confidential files-such as: B. a private Bitcoin key.
A private key is a digital signature that is necessary to send a Bitcoin transaction from the associated wallet. Most experts recommend keeping personal keys in a "cold storage" - completely separated from the Internet - as a foolproof method to protect your bitcoins.
but Dashjr suggested something else.
"Standard practices are obviously insecure," he said. "My security went far beyond the standard practices and I was still compromised."
cooling bearing
The developer Claims that the addresses from which his bitcoins were stolen were actually cold storage addresses. He is not quite sure whether he would have used a Coldcard, a serious hardware wallet, protected its money.
dashjr is still not aware of how his funds were stolen, or at least have not announced such details.
Adam Back-one of the first participants from Bitcoin, who worked with Satoshi Nakamoto, believes Dashjr was attacked via his home network compromised.
others criticized dashjr more, such as bitcoiner holdonaut accused of misinformation about how simply Bitcoin can be secured.
"I only have a big problem with saying that it is not possible to keep Bitcoin safely," he said on Twitter. "Seed Phrase on paper/metal does not take care of the compromised home network."
