Some people think the DigiByte Nights competition is too easy, so here is something for people that like more of a challenge. Grin

10,000,000 DigiByte!

The above funds are available to steal from DigiByte Blockchain and will be considered legitimately obtained if the perpetrator of such an act explains to the community and developers of DigiByte how it was achieved. Its as simple as that, explain how you did it and they are yours, uncontested.
If nobody can steal them, then there they stay for eternity!
Please dont attempt to hack my computers, it is illegal and pointless. The wallet that controls them is not and was not ever on my network!

This isn't really a fair contest unless you have intentionally generated these addresses in a way that can be brute-forced (something like the WarpWallet challenges). Since the addresses have no outgoing transactions, the only available attack vector is to brute force secp256k1+sha256+ripemd160. But without knowing how the addresses were generated (for example, they could just be random 160-byte addresses, in which case they are for all practical considerations unspendable) I'm not going to waste my time.

You are a wise man, i believe they are unspendable. I was just having a bit of fun. The owner of the wallet somehow, he doesn't know how he did it, overwrote the .dat file. He was messing around manipulating the wallet from outside being clever. Made his face quite red for a bit and that doesn't look good on an IT lecturer.
BACK UP! BACK UP! BACK UP!, He broke his own golden rule!

Tell the wallet owner to create another new wallet.dat (never been used), encrypt it with the exact same passphrase used before, and then import those addresses.

@ycagel, Sorry, I don't have much of a clue about anything beyond what we all know. I'll be doing a 3rd quarter mailing at the end of Sept. first of Oct., and I'm going to focus exclusively on DigiByte in that report, so that will be something. Since we're actively targeting gamers, perhaps we might want to look at ideas on how we can reach them on a cost effective basis . . .
