Nobody dies a virgin… Life fucks us all.
There’s literally a thread on this board with 1,000’s of public addys.  This particular thread is about finding Zuki’s addy for his paper weight & smoothie not giving a single fuck about his customers after the sale is made… errors at no charge!

Hello Smoothie Klaus?? 🤣

If I have the initial few digits to your debit card, should I be able to ring-up your issuing bank and retrieve the full number?

Teller: "Hello, my name is Amy from chase bank on a recorded line how may I help you today?"

Hacker: "Hello, I forgot the primary account number to my debit card, but I have the first few digits"

Teller: "Sure thing! Please just read off whatever you've got, and I will locate your account for you."

Hacker: "Fantastic! You are so helpful! The first few digits to my number are 3049... "

Teller: " I located your account no problem. Here is your full account number."

Hacker: "Real quick, before you go, can I please get the pin for that, I forgot that also"

Teller: "Sure thing!"

Real companies have real data privacy provisions. The situation I outlined above is outrageous, but it illustrates the same concept we are debating.

I argue it is on the individual to secure his own full public keys.

Public keys are valuable pieces of data that must be stored properly by the new owner.

These are cryptographic technologies, to keep pace you need to develop proper infosec around them.

For example, what if I was a hacker who knows the first bits of your coins public key.  

If I am able to contact the manufacturer and retrieve the full public key by impersonation it would void the security and confidentiality of the product.

Hackers could gain access to the full public keys of coins owned by individuals they were targeting to determine their funding status.

If someone stole a picture of one of my coins and contacted the manufacturer like "Hey, can you please give me the full public key of this coin. I lost the address a few years ago." And the manufacturer provided the full public key, it would be a breach in security.


Ummm no to all that.  This sounds like a smoothie ass kiss to me… 🤣

I was also in the "Not even worth a reply from Smoothie" club when I needed an addy for a paper weight.  Luckily the seller found it many months later & sent to me  Grin

Good luck Zuki!

SM, same story here. He can log on and sell items, but unfortunately ignore established customers for what looks to be a simple request  Huh

Bump.

Who was the last owner, do you know who you bought the coin from?

No. Was not disclosed. Tried messaging smoothie and offered a few bits for his time. But no response as usual. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess he would rather see his coins die and turn to paper weights.

  I purchased awhile back some coins from Lealana and they all came with the pub addys on a spread sheet or word doc.

   Without that sheet my coins would be pretty much useless if it ever came to loading them.

    I do hope the original owner comes across your thread on your coin and you get closure in being able to load your coin!

Thanks. Yeah it's a real bummer to see so many coins become paper weights. It's cool to see the newer coin makers put the addys on the coins. I have messaged smoothie offering to pay for his time to dig it up. (if he has a list) but I know he doesn't always respond. So I figured I would take one last shot before just peeling the coin. I really don't want to peel it. It's a long shot but figured I would try.

Like the title says. Looking for the public address for a 2013 Lealana 1Ltc BF serial #6586. I know it's a long shot. But Maybe the last owner has it. Kind of sucks no master list exists.  So many paper weights out there.

First bits: LbfzJLRt

Thanks in advance. I have high hopes. Lol
