Hello,

couple of hypothetical questions and observations.

1. hypothetically speaking if I would be able to break btc code what should i do?
- personally i would add 2-3 btc per day, and would keep low profile. of course would change them for fiat and would spend that fiat the best way i can.
now how would anyone be able to figure out that?
i know that exact number of bitcoins that has been mined is known, but since they are all over the place it is impossible to calculate how many are there at the moment.
we know how many SHOULD be there, but not and if someone has/is managed to earn free btc... Cheesy

2. hypothetically speaking
if someone would install win 7 fully registered, and after that if that same someone would install win 10 over that windows he/she would not have any problems with win 10 activation and upgrades.

i hope that hypothetically i was able to help someone.

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts.

best regards,
G

I have a direct answer for your topic question, 1 word:

Don't.

Windows and Bitcoin? Well its sad that's how Satoshi did it back then, but that is begging for getting your coins stolen. That OS has the worst security. Rather than worrying about licenses or if it was legal or not to upgrade your windows 7 into 10 (it was legal but i don't think you can do that anymore), you should wipe the whole thing and install Linux.

It doesn't matter if you spend the 120 USD the Windows license cost (at least the cheap one, don't ask me about the other flavors), its still a garbage OS that should be avoided like the plague.

You should do yourself a favor, and avoid any "legality concerns" by switching to Linux completely, then you will never need to worry about product activation or subscriptions anymore.

As for "breaking Bitcoin", you can't, period. It would be too long and boring to explain you why, but the system was so well designed that its simply impossible to pull that out. The blockchain, the miners and nodes simply make it more expensive than any gain you would ever theoretically make (the 51% attack).

Why yes, you would only need to have a mining power 51% above current WORLD mining hashrate. I think its cheaper to just buy yourself a quantum computer and crack the infamous satoshi's coins, and that would give you less money than what you invested in the whole thing anyway.
