I don't understand why there was so much disbelief that retired coder didn't solve 120 etc etc
Show me prior to the 120 mini puzzle where the key was published.
120 125 130 all went to the same address no ?
If someone really has 2.3 mil in Bitcoin, why would they spend so much time bragging about it on a forum?
I would never sign up here again. I would NOT be online anymore. Publicly announcing large sums could attract unwanted attention, including scammers or hackers. Or something much worse than that.
Well I complety aggre with this, You're absolutely right.
RetiredCoder need to have some good OPSEC (operational security) is essential, especially when dealing with large amounts of money, like 2.3 million in Bitcoin.
The more you broadcast your holdings, the more you expose yourself to potential risks whether it’s phishing attacks, hackers, or even physical threats. Staying anonymous, using strong encryption, and keeping a low profile online are all key strategies to protect your assets. Being discreet with any financial information and avoiding flashy bragging can go a long way in ensuring personal security. People often underestimate the dangers of online visibility until it’s too late. (I talk by my own experience, some users here may remember my dispute with some other user in this forum). Lesson learned in a complicated way.
If a guy/women can solve the puzzle that RetiredCoder did then no way in hell is this guy/gal getting phised by some lame ass scripts nor dumb enough to get infected.
I just don't believe that for a second.
Also at no point have i seen RetiredCoder "brag" about it. A simple mini puzzle followed by more disbelievers and haters.
If anything its opened up more insight into kangaroo and more conversation about it which personally i like.
