The Cost of Trust: Why Bitcoin Was Inevitable

Every empire collapses under the weight of its own lies. Ours just happens to print theirs on paper.

For centuries, money has demanded trust. Trust in kings. Trust in banks. Trust in central banks. We were told the system worked, that the dollar was strong, that inflation was natural. We trusted the experts, the economists, the suits behind the curtain. But time and again, that trust has been betrayed.

First, they backed our money with gold. Then they removed the gold. Then they removed the brakes. By 1971, the U.S. dollar was no longer backed by anything but promises. And when the promises broke, they printed more. More money, more debt, more control. And somehow, we were expected to say thank you.

The truth is this: every fiat system ends in the same way—with the people holding the bag while the architects slip out the back door. We’ve seen it in Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Argentina. And we’re watching the slow bleed happen again across the so-called "developed" world. Wages stay flat. Prices climb. Savings evaporate. The middle class is quietly being erased.

Meanwhile, the top gets richer. Insiders play with house money. The system isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as designed—to benefit those closest to the money printer and drain everyone else. You work harder, but your money works less. And when the next crisis hits, they bail out the banks again, not the people.

But something changed.

In 2009, during the smoldering aftermath of the last financial crisis, someone—or someones—built a way out. Bitcoin didn’t ask for your permission. It didn’t ask for your trust. It offered something different: rules without rulers. A system where no central authority could inflate away your time, your effort, your life’s work.

Bitcoin flips the script. Instead of trusting humans, it relies on math. Instead of secrecy, it offers transparency. Instead of inflation, it has hard-coded scarcity. It’s not perfect—but it doesn’t pretend to be fair while rigging the game behind closed doors. It’s honest money in a dishonest world.

Proof-of-Work is more than a protocol. It’s a philosophy. A declaration that truth must be earned, not granted. That value comes from effort, not decree. Bitcoin didn’t just show up—it emerged, precisely when it was needed most. And for many of us, it felt like destiny.

Because once you see how broken the system is, you can’t unsee it. Once you understand that the cost of trust is your future, your time, your children’s chances—you realize why Bitcoin was not just a good idea. It was inevitable.

The cost of trust was too damn high. So we built something better.

Tick tock. Next block.

Challenge 50,000 fifty thousand dollars in management - prop company.

Challenge 50,000 fifty thousand dollars in management - prop company. The point is that you undergo training, pass an exam on the testnet of a leading exchange on commissions on MEXC futures, and after trading with small real money, you receive an amount from 1,000 to 50,000 US dollars to manage in order to earn profit. You will need to gradually confirm your qualifications so that I, as a guarantor and your risk manager, will be convinced of your competence and quality of trades (correctly executed trading operations in accordance with the trading instructions I transmit to you - a clear strategy, there is an example in the @dogestop challenge)

Download the book for free - my manual - instructions for careful trading of Bitcoin on futures, written by me back in 2018, but shortened and improved in essence - the very strategy of trading on the cryptocurrency exchange with the BTCUSDT trading pair, which allows you to learn to control emotions and risks and still force yourself not to be greedy and follow my rules established by gurus and experts in the field of making money trading with leverage (cross margin x21 - i.e. having 1000 dollars you make a purchase of 21000 minus costs (trading commission in in the amount of 0.01% of this amount, which is 2.1 dollars for opening and 2.1 for closing + a small spread - in a quiet market the spread on average differs by 5 dollars difference, in a mega-active market - quick losses and price rises, which is the main reason - knocking out stops, from 5 to even 20 dollars difference in price, i.e. with a bet of 21 thousand dollars this is + 20 dollars in a commission of 2.1% and you need to be prepared for this).

Course worth 10k USDT - free

The training course, for which the so-called trading gurus, ala Gerchik, pay from 7 to 20 thousand dollars, is provided completely free of charge for my referrals (those who have subscribed to my referral links for the challenge on the MEXC GATEIO GOODCRYPTO robot exchanges).

Statistics from screenshots - profitability 200-300% per month

I show you real reports from my trading deposits, where I trade orders for 5-10-20 and up to 2 million dollars and show positive statistics on the growth and expansion of the deposit. This is all true and real trading operations, which I confirm with official statistics from the exchange and which are stored in the exchange account forever and are available for online demonstration.

Trading robots Moonbot and GoodCrypto, moontrader, special scripts for browser trading (Python), hooks for TradingView transmitting signals from PineScript to Moonbot for trading automation (autotrading, instructions are given in the second test manual provided from one of the trading schools).

Ready-made strategies for moonbot and moontrader, which allow you to automate earnings and teach the client how to earn income from auto-trading cryptocurrency. These products are expensive to purchase - a moonbot costs 0.15BTC and a moontrader subscription costs $100 per month. But for beginners, I recommend GoodCrypto VISA payment, the cost is $299, lifetime license. The reason for preference is the official product with a guarantee, and not just a boxed version from the anonymous creators of moonbot and moontrader. You decide. I use both products, incl. Python scripts, webhooks and I hire programmers and traders to improve their trading algorithms and indicators.

Bonuses for registration and KYC up to $500 per 10k deposit and up to 100 per $1500 deposit. I am officially the chairman of the MEXC and GATEIO exchanges and provide my clients with amazing promotions and discounts - such as a deposit of 10k USDT MEXC + $500 discount on futures trading commission. There are similar promotions on GATEIO, which I regularly publish in my channel @dogestop

Since February 2024, I have been running a YouTube channel and podcast, links to which I provide in the channel and you can view unique author’s information from a trading expert, a professional in his field and a guru of both spot and futures algorithmic trading. My nickname on telegram is @niko21mln and on social networks YouTube, Tiktok, Instagram, Twitter, etc. 21mln (21mlns).

CRYPTOCURRENCY BOOK MYSHOW READY MADE CLONE SCRIPT

[riting]

BBC: “BigBlackOctoberSurprise” by Paul Outlaw in collaboration with Sara Lyons, Jonathan Snipes, and Adam J. Thompson

Badly Licked Bear on BigBlackOctoberSurprise

“The distance between us is not one of space, but of time.” You have always been here. You were born here. It is likely that you will die here. But you are only sometimes aware of that. Some are more aware - much more - of this truth. It might do you well to listen. The call is coming from inside the house….

BigBlackOctoberSurprise is a story told from a certain interior, the interior of the body. It is told from deep inside the gristly, scarred entrails of the American body politic. Imprisoned within a series of visceral chambers, Outlaw shuffles the deck of past, present, and future, ultimately demanding release not from one’s own body, but from the body politic wherein one was both born and is, ultimately, consumed.

The exterior of this body in which we discover ourselves, whose constant motion abrades us, dissolves us, and ejects that which remains, is beyond our direct experience. Our reality is deep inside, that, even as it grows harder and withers more by the day, the military march of its heart deafens us. It would be generous to name the condition here as twilight. If there is a light at either end of the tunnel, it is a light that will not shine upon our living flesh.

That there is a sweet-scented exterior - the space beyond and the time beyond that which is carceral and corporeal - is known to some, as it is not beyond the dreams and necessity of desire that blossoms in pain as it is passed from body to body for generations. That future demands not that one weather acidic, false-promises of release and salvation, but that our very life - all life - depends on being both indigestible and willing to cut passage to the light, blood-shiny and wet.

Badly Licked Bear was strongly considering wearing a mask for the remainder of their days, during all public life, before it was cool. An avid birdwatcher, they see Black Swans everywhere.

Lauri Scheyer on BigBlackOctoberSurprise

Cryptocurrency—a stand-in for a stand-in—came to mind as I bought “a ticket” from the restricted space of my computer. I wonder how it would have been different to watch the piece, this play about the black male body in restricted spaces and restricting guises, as it was first workshopped, in a theatre. But how better to watch a play about isolation and separation than from our own cells? I thought about witnessing the life squeezed from George Floyd on video—about the positions of onlookers in front of Cup Foods, the police, with their bodycams, or Darnella Frazier. “BBOS” is about the violence of these multiple perspectives; it's about seeing, being-told, and then re-told.

Outlaw tells a different tale of a black man's murder. This time the context is the dirty-secret consensual sex (one of the ironically framed ‘big surprises’ of the title) between an enslaved black man and white plantation owner. The men were observed (surprise!) by the plantation owner’s wife who then surreptitiously (surprise!) ordered the dismemberment and murder of the enslaved man. Being-seen and being-told. We ask what we see and from where, and how this position impacts what we feel and understand.

A white woman opens the play claiming, “I am Paul Outlaw,” but this is not a game show of “true identity,” or the territory of “I am Spartacus” or “We are the World.” Our sense that she is not Paul Outlaw is only intensified by her claim that she is. When we see Paul Outlaw at the end of the play, we have seen him in multiple guises—white woman, Kafkaesque vermin, potent black male body—and in multiple enclosures—a cell, slave quarters, pandemic-era virtual square. Throughout, the black male body is universalized as a perceived instrument of aggression, and at the same time it is almost infant-like in its helplessness and guilelessness—another trope turned on its head. Now, at last, we see the presumably autobiographical Paul Outlaw (or as close to him as we can get), and we understand the extent to which no one can inhabit Paul Outlaw but Paul Outlaw himself.

“You ain’t gonna bother me no more, no how,” Billie Holiday sings, at the beginning and end of the performance, but this remains wishful thinking. We have watched “Paul Outlaw” shape-shift, only to finally become “himself.” And yet we can’t un-forget the  anonymizing and objectifying we've just witnessed.

A command rings in my memory : “Get out of here!” Is it a note-to-self, or a command from outside? My memory is of a body not standing vertically of its own power: the body is crouching, writhing on the ground, in a fetal position, seated in a chair. Big black cock to big black cockroach—their threat and vulnerability. The ambiguity and bivalence of both symbols.

“This is not intermission, by the way, and it’s definitely not the end.” I’m waiting for his next production.

Her most recent books are Theatres of War: Contemporary Perspectives (Methuen Drama/Bloomsbury) and A History of African American Poetry (Cambridge University Press).

BBC: “BigBlackOctoberSurprise” was presented virtually at REDCAT October 22-31, 2020. Concept, performance, and script by Paul Outlaw. Directed by Sara Lyons, with sound by Jonathan Snipes and video by Adam J. Thompson.

Week 6 Evening Lecture

Extended seminar - Web

HTTP - requests and response (html payload)  HTML - response packet Javascript - script tags are embedded Database/SQL - used for querying database eg. browser sends an HTTP POST  request to the server with the username and password... HTTP Cookies/ Sessions - once logged in the server will generate a session cookie ID that's unique for the user Session hijacking - steal someone's cookie and put in your web browser to gain access to that person’s account

XSS  Cross-site scripting - an attack in which an attacker injects data, such as malicious script into content from websites.

What you can do? Can steal cookies and modify elements. Inject memes into pages, steal pages

Google got hit by XSS  There are 2 types of XSS stored CSS and reflected XSS.

Stored CSS (a.k.a non-persistent XSS) -  you enter data which is stored in the app and in response to another request it will be returned. The data contains JS code. 

https://blog.sqreen.com/reflected-xss/ 

Reflected XSS (or also called a non-persistent XSS attack)   -  malicious script bounces off of another website to the victim’s browser. It is passed in the query, typically, in the URL. It makes exploitation as easy as tricking a user to click on a link. 

<img src = 'x' onerror.... SQL Injections The website uses HTML, tells your web browser how to display information

An SQL injection is inserting SQL statements in the user input, to be executed. An example is SELECT … OR 1=1 –

The dash ‘-’ at the end is to comment out the rest of the code. What to input into login form?  'or 1=1 -

Blind SQL Injection word; ls # It is a type of SQL attack that queries the database via true or false questions. The responses will be based on the application. 

Command Injection

Command injection is an attack where arbitrary commands are executed on the host operating system via a vulnerable application. 

Cross-Site Request Forgery This is an attack on an authenticated user i.e. they are logged in on a website somewhere AN eg I log in to a banking site and want to transfer some money Send a request to the server in the appropriate form this is sent with my cookie to the bank  A website will automatically request a <img> with ... Got distracted and clicked on a dodgy website If an attacker knows the format of the bank request, they can hide

Cross-Site Request Forgery Defences Primary mitigation is with tokens Generate a suitably random toke, store value server-side Send token to the user, expect this token as part of any user request In a GET request, this token will be part of the URL The website expects something like this as the correct request Important: If a website has XSS vulnerabilities, CSRF mitigations are pointless! Could be used to obtain generated token and use it

Extended seminar - Cryptocurrency

Payment process: Current versus Bitcoin Current payment systems require third-party intermediaries that often charge high processing fees...

Built using cryptographic principles Difficult to fake transactions Not controlled by a central authority

Blockchain It is a method of storing data A chain of chronologically linked blocks, each block is linked to the previous Blocks contain: data, hash, hash of previous No 2 blocks will have the same hash meaning each block have a unique hash

Data Consists of hundreds of transactions

Hashes The block's hash summarises the data into a combination of letters and numbers Sha-256 hashing algorithm IF a transaction in the block is changed, the hash will change E.g. Alice now changes the amount to $ 50

1. When a transaction is made, it isn't immediately added. It is placed

We hash the block header along with an extra number, the nonce When we hash, we hope the block hash value is below a certain target value A nonce is a random number...

Proof of stake Growth of mining pools could eventually lead back to a centralised system

PoW mining uses excessive amounts of electricity PoS algorithm attributes mining power to proportion of total bitcoins held(plus other various factors) rather than computing power Rewards are transaction fees rather than new cryptocurrency

Types of cryptocurrency:

Bitcoin Most popular Uses SHA-256 hashing algorithm Very processor-intensive and complex

Litecoin Uses Scrypt hashing algorithm 4 times faster than SHA-256 But much more memory intensive

Facebook Libra Centralised architecture - Libra will be managed by the Libra Association, having more control over the blockchain, but can we trust Facebook?

Why so many cryptocurrencies Different interpretations and implementations of blockchain technology ICO boom

Privacy Blockchain doesn't have a strong concept of 'identity' - uses (public, private) key pairings

Doesn't exempt transactions from tracing Two main ways: Relations between addresses - 'Inferring' identity Interactions between nodes & users

Case Study - Monero Unlinkability _> "stealth addresses' with 'view' keys Transaction mixing -> Ring signatures COncealing transaction amounts ->RingCT signatures Hiding source IP and blockchain usage -> The Kovri Project

MtGox user database began circulating online - plain text email addresses - Usernames - MD5 HAshed passwords - unsalted

Future of Cryptocurrency

Adoption - overcoming resistance from people, established financial institutions, governments, ease of use, volatility

Threats - Quantum computers means faster hashes

Hw Find a string whose SHA-256 hash starts with "6841" (in base 16)

Hint: use a loop and brute force it (don't try to reverse the hashing algorithm)

How much longer would it take to find a string whose hash starts with "68416841"?

HW Read up 'Block Modes" - only need to learn/understand ECB CBC, CTR

Mission impossible red box - is in the exam?

Authentication

Can not fake your fingerprints, the way you walk, face

Richard Buckland’s Lecture

Symmetric cipher - encryption and decryption keys are the same

https://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/asymmetric-cryptography

Asymmetric (a.k.a public-key cryptography) - uses public and private keys to encrypt and decrypt data. The public is for encryption and the private key is for decryption.

90 million dollars taken by an impersonator with a silicone mask. How can you know its really him?

Identification vs authentication

Identification - claiming you are somebody

Authentication - proving that you are who you say you are

How can a computer make a decision about whether a person is the person they claim who they are? 

Preloaded data - photographs, but people may look similar.

People - can identify by shared experiences, but computers cannot be taught this.

Factors

It’s easy to show you know a password, but it’s hard to show that no-one else does.

Something you know Passwords, PINs (personal identification number). These are very common and very easy to crack.

Something you have Smart cards are used with a pin to provide multi-factor authentication

Something you are Fingerprint

TYPE 1 AND TYPE 2 ERRORS:

type 1 - system rejects a known user

type 2 - system accepts an unknown user

Block Cipher Modes

Electronic Code Block

https://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/Electronic-Code-Book

Same plaintext = same ciphertext value. Electronic Code Book is used when a volume of plaintext is separated into several blocks of data, each of which is then encrypted independently of other blocks. It has the ability to support a separate encryption key for each block type. Though, each block can be encrypted in parallel to reduce encryption time.

Cipher Block Chaing

This uses an Initialisation Vector (IV) of a certain length.  Each plaintext block is XOR’d with the immediately previous ciphertext block, then passed to the encryption function to be encrypted. This does not have the ability to encrypt blocks in parallel and it is more resistant to cryptanalysis.

Counter Mode

A counter initiated value is encrypted, then XOR’d with the plaintext. This can be done in parallel since each block is independent.

Week 6 Evening Lecture

Extended seminar - Web

HTTP - requests and response (html payload)

Session cookie - when you log in, server generates a unique ID for the user.

Session hijacking - cookies can be stolen from a browser, and used to gain access to another person’s account.

XSS

Cross site scripting - attack by injecting data, such as malicious script into content from websites. Can steal cookies and modify elements.

Reflected XSS - user input is immediately returned by a web app. It is possible to include JavaScript code which is executed in the context of the application.

Stored CSS - you enter data which is stored in the app and returned later on in response to another request. The data contains JS code.

e.g. code to steal cookies of users who log in

Samy is my hero - MySpace worm, spread to other websites

SQL injections

SQL injection is inserting SQL statements in the user input, to be executed.

SELECT ... OR 1=1 --

-- is to the comment out the rest of the code

input into login form: ‘ or 1=1 --

Blind SQL (cant see source) - an attacker attempts to exploit an application, but rather than getting a useful error message they get a generic page instead. Can send true or falses to find out if something is true or not.

Command injections - executing code on the host operating system via a vulnerable application

Extended seminar - Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency eliminates the third party (bank), money transactions are directly between sender and receiver. This lowers costs. Decentralised

Hard to fake a transaction as it requires many bits of work.

Blockchain

method of storing data

chain of chronologically linked blocks, each block is linked to the previous

blocks contain: data, hash, hash of previous

We can identify blocks by their unique hash

Data - Consists of many transactions

Hashes

SHA-256

If transaction is block is changed, hash will change

Since each block has the hash of the previous block, the next block will show mismatch with the hash in the next block.

Tamper evident - it is computationally hard to recalculate hashes in following blocks

Mining

Mining is creating coins.

When a transaction is made, it is placed into a transaction pool. Miners take a transaction and put it into a block. They hash the block header with the nonce (a random number that is brute forced to create the correct hash).

Proof of stake

Miners work together in mining pools - can work together

PoS algorithm attributes mining power to proportion of total bitcoins held rather than computing power

Types

Bitcoin - most popular, SHA-256, very processor intensive and complex

Litecoin - uses Scrypt, less intensive, but uses more memory

Facebook Libra - Centralised by Libra Association, but can we trust Facebook?

Privacy

Blockchain doesn’t have a strong concept of identity - uses (public, private) key pairings

Can trace back by: relations between addresses, interactions between nodes

Historical flaws

51% attack

Blockchain: the longest chain is the legitimate chain

If you can build your chain faster than anyone else, your malicious chain can become the legitimate one

Verge currency:

Bug to lower hashing difficulty for Scrypt

Hackers could build chains faster

Smart Contracts

Attacker exploited bug in smart contracts - could recursively call a function that repeatedly sent funds

Future of Cryptocurrency

Adoption

overcoming resistance from people, established financial institutions, governments

ease of use

volatility

Threats

Quantum computers - faster hashes

Software that utilises cryptocurrencies

cryptocurrency wallets/exchanges/other software

storing private keys - if taken, they can use your money

Buckland’s Lecture

Symmetric cipher - you have knowledge of the key, it’s used for encryption and decryption

Asymmetric - one for encryption, one for decryption

Go bag - bag you pick up and take in an emergency. What would you put in it?

90 million dollars taken by impersonator with silicone mask. How can you know its really him?

Bugs in the news - sounds like it’s something new, everything was okay in the past. But it’s been there for a long time, we only just discovered it now.

Authentication

Identification vs authentication

Identification - claiming you are somebody

Authentication - proving that you are who you say you are

How can a computer make a decision about whether a person is the French prime minister? Only given information (screen on the wall).

Can have preloaded data - photographs, but people may look similar.

People - can identify by shared experiences, but you can teach computers this as well.

Factors

defense in depth

It’s easy to show you know a password, but it’s hard to show that noone else does.

http://www.pearsonitcertification.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1718488

Something you know

E.g. Passwords, PINs (personal identification number)

These are the most common

Easy to crack

Something you have

E.g. smart cards, tokens

smart cards are used with a pin to provide multi factor authentication

These can be stolen

Something you are

e.g. biometrics - fingerprints, handprints, retinal scans

if a fingerprint is stolen, you can’t change it

Provide the strongest authentication, but is susceptible to errors

type 1 - system rejects a known user

type 2 - system accepts an unknown user

Multifactor authentication

This is when two different authentication factors are used e.g. smart card + pin (something you know and something you have).

Sending confirmation code via SMS. Problem now: most people do things on their phone, so having the phone may give you the account, and the second factor of authentication (SMS).

Hardware attack: injecting signals to the device.

Block Cipher Modes

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/computer-network-block-cipher-modes-of-operation/

Electronic Code Book (ECB)

This is the simplest block cipher mode.

Each block of plaintext is encrypted with the key to get the next block of ciphertext.

Each block can be encrypted in parallel, thus reducing encryption time.

However, it is prone to cryptanalysis since plaintext and ciphertext are directly related.

Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)

The previous cipher block is XOR’d with the current plaintext block, then passed to the encryption function. The first block uses an initialisation vector.

This improves upon ECB as it is more resistant to cryptanalysis, but we lose the ability to encrypt blocks in parallel.

Counter Mode (CTR)

A counter initiated value is encrypted, then XOR’d with the plaintext.

This can be done in parallel, since each block is independent.

Over the years, it’s become popular to claim that you are Satoshi Nakamoto even if you lack a shred of evidence. Although some individuals have tried really hard to prove it, they have always failed to convince the greater community. For instance, a few self-proclaimed inventors of Bitcoin have attempted to generate a signature with a message hash that’s tethered to an early mined block. After a few of these occurrences, a financial transparency startup called Albacore Labs has created a tool that will validate a signature against the genesis block, making it “easier for other people to make similar claims.”

Crypto-Babble About Digital Signatures or Hashing Should Not Be Enough

Many bitcoiners will never forget how Craig Wright tried to prove he was Satoshi Nakamoto back in 2016. It all started when the London Review of Books reporter Andrew O’Hagan spent months with Wright and allegedly saw him sign a message tied to a Satoshi Nakamoto address. There was also a series of blog posts Wright wrote that has since been scrubbed from the internet and Wright’s interaction with Gavin Andresen in London. Back in the spring of 2016 Wright also appeared on a BBC video claiming to sign a signature tethered to the first bitcoin transaction.

“My name is Craig Wright and I’m about to demonstrate a signing of a message with the public key that is associated with the first transaction ever done on Bitcoin,” the Australian native stated on May 2, 2016. “So you are going to show me that Satoshi Nakamoto is you?” the BBC reporter asked at the time. “Yes,” Wright replied.

Two men who have claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto but have yet to provide solid evidence. ‘Satoshin,’ left, and Craig Wright.

After the show aired, veteran cryptographers quickly pointed out that the BBC reporters and Andrew O’Hagan were seemingly duped. The long-winded London Review of Books story that describes O’Hagan’s experience hanging out with Wright for months shows O’Hagan had no clue what Wright was actually signing. Moreover, well-known cryptocurrency developers like Pieter Wuille, Christopher Jeffrey and Greg Maxwell showed the public how Wright pulled off his signing parlor trick.

One of the so-called Satoshi PGP keys Wright signed was provably backdated and other signature attempts have been cited as blatant forgery. Then, last year, a Twitter handle that used the name “Satoshi Nakamoto” tried to create the same signing proof with a message tied to block number 9. Finally, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) developer Amaury Séchet recently shared a hash message on Twitter and claimed to be Satoshi. However, the message was clearly a joke except a few cryptocurrency news outlets ran with the story.

Last November a Twitter handle called @Satoshi tried to sway the community with a signed message tethered to block 9.

Now Anyone Can Prove They Are Satoshi By Signing a Message Tied to the Genesis Block

Since the so-called block 9 signing, Albacore, a team that develops tools to improve financial transparency, has released an application that can tie a message to the Bitcoin genesis block so anyone can attempt to “prove they are Satoshi.”

“With everyone seemingly trying to prove they are Satoshi (looking at you Craig Wright and “Faketoshi twitter”), we’ve decided to make it easier for other people to make similar claims,” explains Albacore.

The startup’s Faketoshi website continues:

Clicking the button below will generate a signature and message hash that will successfully validate against the address that mined the genesis block, which is known to have been mined by Satoshi. Just don’t ask for the plaintext message that generated the hash…(spoiler, we don’t know it either).

Albacore’s Faketoshi tool.

A Faketoshi Signing Tool Benefits the Community by Teaching Bitcoiners to Dismiss Fraudulent Behaviour

In a post that describes the tool’s process, Albacore says people claiming to be Satoshi is nothing new, but Craig Wright is the most “recent cult” following. Albacore says this is due to a serious lack of technical understanding within the blockchain and bitcoin ecosystem. “This leads to situations where the merest mention of crypto-esque jargon like digital signatures or hashing is convincing enough,” the startup’s blog post explains. Albacore notes that people can see that the forged messages are clearly faked because the hash of the message is provided without the actual plaintext message.

“The inputs and outputs of the ECDSA signature and verification operations. Note that in both, the input is the plaintext message that is then hashed within the boxes (the ECDSA algorithm),” explains Albacore. 

“So why would the scammer provide the hash of a message and not the message itself? Albacore asks within the essay, before answers its own question: “Because they do not know the message — That would involve them actually knowing the private key and generating a legitimate signature.”

Albacore adds:

Given the one-way nature of cryptographic hashes — The only way to verify this signature is to use a non-standard ECDSA verifier that does not internally hash the message but instead accepts the hash of the message as an input.

Albacore believes the greater community needs to be more vigilant towards pretenders and faked signature attempts.

This week, news.Bitcoin.com reported on another self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto who called Craig Wright a “liar” and stated he could sign a real message in due time. However, just like the slew of other Faketoshis we’ve covered in the past, this one has yet to provide any real proof to the greater crypto community. To some people, these signatures are pretty much meaningless, unless the signer can provide an actual plaintext message or literally move bitcoins that were mined in the early days with a well-known Satoshi address. Even Wright’s open letter saying that he is willing to testify in front of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is worthless because none of those regulators understand this technology.

Albacore says tools like the Faketoshi signing application benefit the community as a whole, so they can be more critical towards people attempting blockchain signature parlor tricks and instead “focus on things that advance the space as a whole.”

What do you think about Albacore’s Faketoshi signature tool? Do you think anyone has proven themselves to be Satoshi Nakamoto with these signature tricks? What would make you believe a person is really Satoshi? Let us know what you think about this subject in the comments section below.

Book Review – CoinGecko’s ‘How to DeFi’

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is certainly the buzz-phrase in the cryptocurrency world right now. But although we are hearing more and more about the potential of this technological breakthrough to revolutionize the world of traditional finance, many are still unsure of what DeFi actually involves.

CoinGecko has just released its very first book, called ‘How to DeFi’. This book aims to provide an easy entry point for those wanting to learn about the subject.

Why to DeFi

After an obligatory slew of quotes from industry figures, recommending the book as the ideal starting point from which to enter the world of DeFi, we get straight into why it matters.

With over $1 billion worth of assets locked into the DeFi ecosystem it is currently one of the fastest growing sectors in the cryptocurrency space. The most radical change that it promises to bring is the removal of a need for centralized institutions to control the financial system.

The three areas in which DeFi currently aims to improve on centralized banking structures  are cost and speed of remittance payments, providing financial services without censorship (including to the 1.7 billion global unbanked), and transparency of governance.

After explaining what DeFi is, the book lists the categories of financial service currently available through it. From stablecoins, lending and borrowing, through exchanges, derivatives and fund management, to lotteries, payments and insurance, every aspect of the current DeFi ecosystem is covered.

How to DeFi

Part Two of the book explains the workings of the Ethereum network, as the most popular platform for DeFi applications. Smart contracts, Ether, and Gas are explained, before looking at the pros and cons of decentralized apps (Dapps).

Finally, different wallet types are compared, with a step-by-step walkthrough of getting up and running on both mobile wallet Argent, and Metamask for desktop. All that done, we move on to Part Three, the deep dive.

Each of the aforementioned categories of DeFi service are given a full chapter, focussing on one or two key providers in each case. We learn about stablecoins through the example of the MakerDAO platform, Compound is used to illustrate loans, decentralized exchanges (DEx) are explained using Uniswap and dYdX, and so on.

Each chapter gives an overview of the services available, with diagrams helping to explain some of the trickier concepts. It then explains how the service works on the chosen example platform, along with a step-by-step guide for those who feel compelled to jump straight in.

The target audience of the book is DeFi beginners, so some of the finer details of the chosen  platforms are left out, but the level is generally pitched about right. Does a DeFi novice, for example, really need to know the intricacies of the Maker Protocol’s incentive scheme, or is the fact that it is soft-pegged to the dollar knowledge enough?

Whether to read

While the earlier chapters do a great job of leading a beginner into the world of DeFi, with a wealth of explanations and diagrams, later chapters seem to assume some existing knowledge of the subject.

For example, the chapters on derivatives and fund management will be more useful to those who already understand these concepts in traditional finance. Although, it is perhaps wise not to encourage a beginner to let loose with leveraged derivatives trading, so that may not be a bad thing.

The final challenge was the ‘Dad test’; i.e. could my father, a man in his seventies with only a very basic knowledge of cryptocurrency, gain a reasonable understanding of DeFi, simply through reading this book? I received this message when he was around 50 pages in:

“… although I don’t understand everything I have enjoyed reading it. It is written in a very easy style that I think most people who are interested in the subject would be able to follow.”

Of course, my dad isn’t exactly the book’s target audience, but he still found the information accessible, and felt that someone with a greater background knowledge of cryptocurrency would get more from it. He also liked the step-by-step walkthroughs showing how to perform certain functions on the platforms featured.

The book is certainly well written and thoroughly researched, with links to references used, suggested further reading, and a glossary of terms at the very end.

Of course, my dad isn’t exactly the book’s target audience, but he still found the information accessible, and felt that someone with a greater background knowledge of cryptocurrency would get more from it. He also liked the step-by-step walkthroughs showing how to perform certain functions on the platforms featured.

The book is certainly well written and thoroughly researched, with links to references used, suggested further reading, and a glossary of terms at the very end.

Book Review – CoinGecko’s ‘How to DeFi’

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is certainly the buzz-phrase in the cryptocurrency world right now. But although we are hearing more and more about the potential of this technological breakthrough to revolutionize the world of traditional finance, many are still unsure of what DeFi actually involves.

CoinGecko has just released its very first book, called ‘How to DeFi’. This book aims to provide an easy entry point for those wanting to learn about the subject.

Why to DeFi

After an obligatory slew of quotes from industry figures, recommending the book as the ideal starting point from which to enter the world of DeFi, we get straight into why it matters.

With over $1 billion worth of assets locked into the DeFi ecosystem it is currently one of the fastest growing sectors in the cryptocurrency space. The most radical change that it promises to bring is the removal of a need for centralized institutions to control the financial system.

The three areas in which DeFi currently aims to improve on centralized banking structures  are cost and speed of remittance payments, providing financial services without censorship (including to the 1.7 billion global unbanked), and transparency of governance.

After explaining what DeFi is, the book lists the categories of financial service currently available through it. From stablecoins, lending and borrowing, through exchanges, derivatives and fund management, to lotteries, payments and insurance, every aspect of the current DeFi ecosystem is covered.

How to DeFi

Part Two of the book explains the workings of the Ethereum network, as the most popular platform for DeFi applications. Smart contracts, Ether, and Gas are explained, before looking at the pros and cons of decentralized apps (Dapps).

Finally, different wallet types are compared, with a step-by-step walkthrough of getting up and running on both mobile wallet Argent, and Metamask for desktop. All that done, we move on to Part Three, the deep dive.

Each of the aforementioned categories of DeFi service are given a full chapter, focussing on one or two key providers in each case. We learn about stablecoins through the example of the MakerDAO platform, Compound is used to illustrate loans, decentralized exchanges (DEx) are explained using Uniswap and dYdX, and so on.

Each chapter gives an overview of the services available, with diagrams helping to explain some of the trickier concepts. It then explains how the service works on the chosen example platform, along with a step-by-step guide for those who feel compelled to jump straight in.

The target audience of the book is DeFi beginners, so some of the finer details of the chosen  platforms are left out, but the level is generally pitched about right. Does a DeFi novice, for example, really need to know the intricacies of the Maker Protocol’s incentive scheme, or is the fact that it is soft-pegged to the dollar knowledge enough?

Whether to read

While the earlier chapters do a great job of leading a beginner into the world of DeFi, with a wealth of explanations and diagrams, later chapters seem to assume some existing knowledge of the subject.

For example, the chapters on derivatives and fund management will be more useful to those who already understand these concepts in traditional finance. Although, it is perhaps wise not to encourage a beginner to let loose with leveraged derivatives trading, so that may not be a bad thing.

The final challenge was the ‘Dad test’; i.e. could my father, a man in his seventies with only a very basic knowledge of cryptocurrency, gain a reasonable understanding of DeFi, simply through reading this book? I received this message when he was around 50 pages in:

“… although I don’t understand everything I have enjoyed reading it. It is written in a very easy style that I think most people who are interested in the subject would be able to follow.”

Of course, my dad isn’t exactly the book’s target audience, but he still found the information accessible, and felt that someone with a greater background knowledge of cryptocurrency would get more from it. He also liked the step-by-step walkthroughs showing how to perform certain functions on the platforms featured.

The book is certainly well written and thoroughly researched, with links to references used, suggested further reading, and a glossary of terms at the very end.
