Bitcoin uses an ASIC-friendly algorithm and it's extremely unlikely it's changed. I thought you were talking about general ideas.

exab

ASIC-friendly PoW can be used for other coins using the same algorithm.

exab

How does ASCI-resistant PoW invite 51% attacks?

exab

Would you elaborate on its stateless mode?

There is a setting to enable on-device passphrase entry for Safe 5. There may be legitimate reasons for them to phase out Trezor One (and T) other than sales, e.g., the use of secure element. It is disappointing nonetheless.

exab

Are you using Trezor One? Other models support entering passphrases on the device.

Trezor One is not getting on-device passphrase input. I implemented on-device passphrase input for Trezor One and submitted a pull request to them. They rejected it, but not because of the implementation itself. It's apparently a business decision. They want people to buy newer models.

exab

So that's how it's achieved. Thanks for the information.

Your seed phrase is your wallet. Your BIP32 root key is your wallet. You have handed over your wallet to some stranger in multiple ways.

exab

What you wanted to say is: WITHOUT inflation, Bitcoin never really hit $100k.

Without inflation, gold never hit $50 per ounce.

exab

Not the government. The banks. The government is just a tool.

exab

If you don't have coins in the wallet and don't plan on having coins in the wallet, you can use any BIP39/BIP32 tools to get the private keys, such as: https://iancoleman.io/bip39/

They can't. Peer-to-peer software can't be killed. That said, they certainly will try.

exab

You are right about yourself.

exab

Banks have been brought to attention to Bitcoin and felt helpless about it. Lol about the elite banks? You are too ignorant to understand.

exab

They can't, because they can't print Bitcoin.

exab

Banks, especially the elite ones, hate Bitcoin. They are the ones who created the FED to print money, and destroyed the gold standard to print money unlimitedly. They don't want anything that people can anchor their money on, and Bitcoin does that.

exab

I don't think so, either. The commenter must have been mistaken because Ledger has something that can be called a backdoor.

exab

Trezor has a backdoor?

exab

Did you know you can do that using a biased coin?

exab

The main hardware difference between Model 1 and Safe 3 or 5 is that the former doesn't use a secure element, while the latter does. In a scenario where a professional adversary holds your device, your seed phrase may be extracted if it's Model 1.

The main software difference between Model 1 and Safe 3, both using two physical buttons, is that you cannot enter your passphrase on the device with Model 1, while you can with the latter. With Model 1, you have to type your passphrase on a computer.

exab

I think T and One are not their priorities because they don't use secure elements.

exab

There is no such thing as a Nobel Prize in Economics. It's an imposter. The Sweden's central bank bribed the Novel prize committee to use the name and make them manage the prize to deceive people. The purpose of the prize is to justify, support and develop debt-based, i.e., bank-based and central baking-based, economics.

exab

A quote from the leader of the bankers who made Bitcoin necessary?

exab

How much is it?
