Topic: Is Bitcoin Hackable? - page 30. (Read 4116 times)

Bitcoin is hackable or not depend on you keep your wallet private key safe or not cause there are no way to hack Bitcoin if hacker doesn't know any informations about the wallet you are using to keep your Bitcoin. Beside if you use web wallet I think it's a little bit more difficult to hack cause when anyone want to withdraw Bitcoin from your web wallet they need to know the code sent to your phone so it's impossible to hack your Bitcoin if they can't hack your phone ). Beside what does Bitakayena mean?

Yes, there is a high possibility that a hacker will hack bitcoin if it’s not that safe. But, the good thing about bitcoin is it is secured, so it will be more difficult to hack. This is what I think.

It can be a hackable but its hell of hard to hack bitcoin network. Kinda like close to impossible but still chances are someone may break it. He must be a head genious than satoshi nakamoto.

To me things based on internet are hackable.no matter how strick security you provide it is still on some risk.

Yes. everything on the cyber world is hackable and it depends on the hacker's skills. But in bitcoin I think the security of bitcoin is strong and for me it is hard to hack because bitcoin or all cryto coins have their own private-keys and depends on the wallets you are using, coin addresses are generated in random so make sure you don't give it easy to anyone that suspicious.

Yes, almost all the threads in Meta are enough proofs to say that bitcoins are hackable. More or so, there are lot of scammers too. New accounts seems to find ways to gain faster nowadays by hacking and scamming bitcoin users here. Old members seem to trust services because of past experiences that are smoothly done. But in my opinion, all must be very careful now. Scammers and hackers are everywhere.

I will say it is dependable on the wallet. While some wallets are susceptible to hacking others are more prone.

But once all security features are activated you should be safe.

51% has to do with adding a transaction to a block-chain, and once a new transaction has 51% consensus it stays and the longest blockchain wins the battle on the de-centralized network.

This HAS NOTHING to do with security, SATOSHI created "51%" to solve the double spending problem.

Now security, which is what we're talking here, is that there is a KEY, a private key and a public key, your address is public, and if I KNOW your Private KEY then YOUR Money is MINE.

Now that question to be asked about "HACKING BTC", is HOW do I get YOUR BTC private key?

Well it can be done, and above I explained how its done, and if you google, you can learn.

On the question of infinite time and hash-power that's not true, while true on 'brute force' ( dumb search ), a sophisticated sorted butter-fly algo can drop the search space to 2**32, current 'infinite bullshit' is 2**50, or 2**128, but advanced researchers who study EDCSA see patterns and figure out algos to reduce the search space to 2**32 or less, and then it can be done in short-time computationally.

The problem as shown on this topic and OP, is that the majority here don't have a clue about BTC or how it really works.

The OP asked a good question, but the normal BOTS&TROLLS stepped forward with the normal canned bullshit, sure in a world of MORONS BTC can't be broken, that was the idea behind "Brain Wallet", and all the lemmings that followed that moron lost their BTC.

Just a few years ago RSA with 128 bits was impossible to break, but then one day a guy discovered they were seeding with ports which were 2**10, which meant that if you search a small seed-space you could break the CRYPTO in a few minutes to this day BANKS still use RSA, which is well understood how to hack.

Same with BTC ( sha256 ), smart people study patterns and figure out how to reduce the search space so that a crypto-puzzle can be quickly solved.

***

All of this is BULLSHIT really because anytime BTC wishes they can move from SHA-256 to SHA-1024 and make BTC impossible to break, IMHO the ASSHOLE hold BTC back to SHA256, because the ASSHOLES want to be able Steal "asset forfeiture" as they wish, just like they do now with banks.

Ergo if BTC doesn't get off its ass, then the zcoin ( zencash ), ... will be where the crypto-anarchy people go, and BTC will be for assholes & morons.

Yew, bitcoin is hackable because it is in the online system. We all know that there many people who are expert in using internet, they can hacked an account whenever they want, specially when they knew that it is for them to hack it. So, if you have a big money make sure your wallet or your bank account have a strong security. Therefore, you may sure that your money is safe.

Source??? Google is your friend, I have given all you need above, if you just google.

"Google is NSA" - Putin.


...

Give me an address, and I will hack it, it can be done, that's what LBC is all about, this is what EDCSA-sorting is all about, and bloom-filters. It can be done. It's just not done where it attracts attention.

When anything digital is form of 0 1, there is still chance but the efforts needed is enormous and yet to be exploited. Present security measure on cryptocurrency are still considerably very safe though, private keys and 2FA are very reliable as long your device is not compromised before implementing them. So far i haven't hear any type of hacking methods that could render these security measure useless other than hijacking/human error. As for the bitcoin network itself just google and you would know difficult was it to 'HACK' the entire blockchain and steal your bitcoin by resolving the entire blockchain with maybe an alien supercomputer from outer space.

You can say its hackable because its on Internet, but it isn't easy to hack bitcoin otherwise by now, all the big hackers would have been quite rich and people would stop using bitcoin much due to its vulnerability.
It is hackable, but one can take some precautions or some steps to make it secure.  

Yes everything is hackable in my opinion and the hacking depends largely on the time, the place and most importantly the 'intention', if the intention is really worth it.

So the question is, is the intention to hack Bitcoin (not the various Bitcoin wallets) really worth it?

The shills & taut's are much louder than the 'experts', just to to twitter #bitcoingold and you can see the supporters still expressing the promise that BTG is "GOLD",


Hell just the other day Apple's "WOZ" said that BITCOIN was 'math', please don't make me vomit, the forks and the shit-code released by BTG-CHINA is proof that "BITCOIN" the block-chain/merkel tree is just one big hack aka kluster-fuck. BTC is NOT MATH, BTC uses math, but its NOT math, BTC-SATOSHI is masturbation by consensus open to the public ( who can read code ).

Most PONZI's play out this way, not until there is blood on the street does it end, as you all know 99% of the public still doesn't own or know about BTC, ... its when the shoe-shine boy is selling "satoshis", then you will know closure is soon.

What we do know is that every criminal, con-artist and crook is involved in BTC, and most of these people are RUNNING 99.9% of the commercial worldwide business 'BTC store-fronts'

Keep it Simple, Keep it pure, and go back to SATOSHI, ... libertarian anarchy that was BITCOIN, it was never for get-rich quick MORONS, or GOV, or White-Collar Assholes (lawyers/bankers)

Problem today is that BITCOIN has been co-opted by the assholes. BTG proves that fact the point being that BTC-CORE allow's this SHIT to even happen,

yes see the red trust of others here in forum you can got that when you scam others here in bitcointalk forum no one is secure here even your so protective in your account if the work of some person is hack or scam other they have also an professional skill from doing that i have also group in facebook group that can create a phsing site to hack someone so be careful before you register in other site that you dont know well

51% attack does NOT allow anyone to gain access to addresses to private keys that they don't own. It can only prevent transactions from confirming or "reverse" them by double spending it. It isn't a risk to user's Bitcoins.

Bitcoin can't be hacked, unless you find a 0 day vulnerability. Even then, the changes could be reversed easily. The only viable way for private keys to be compromised is when ECDSA gets cracked. That will only give you a chance to crack an address with previous transactions being sent from the address.

Both of you are wrong no one can hack the btc system it is completely impossible the only way to lose your bitcoins is by the user error like deleting the private or sending to a wrong address.

This is a way that no one hacks your account , there are still plenty ways to bypass this security but what if the sites database is itself compromised your 2FA won't help you in any way.

The only solution to not lose any of your bitcoins is storing it on a offline pc or using a hardware wallet.

Yes everything involves online can be hackable by those smart hackers. But then again this  would be avoidable if bitcoin system is really secured. As we see now a lot of investors trusted bitcoin so it must be secured enough for them to continually invest with bitcoin.

Yes, it is hackable but for that person who is able to download the full list from directory.io and search for addresses in that list. Although, it is not yet feasible to download as it requires such a huge database that no one can have on this Earth. It means bitcoin is unhackable for a human at least, keeping aliens out of this as we don't know their limits.
