Re: Safely storing newly created wallets programmatically?

What can I improve or change?

Since it's for business usage, i would make these suggestions.
1. Do some research on TEE (trusted execution environment). It's feature provided by CPU or SoC to manage sensitive data more securely, although some people distrust it due to various reason (e.g. consider Intel ME as a backdoor or security issue).
2. Unencrypted swapfile bring security concern, since sensitive data may be stored there temporarily.

Although i agree with @odolvlobo to simply have few casino's wallet and database which track user's balance along with it's changes, since your user currently doesn't have access to their private key anyway.


I looked into this and this is exactly what I was looking for, you're right about the INTEL ME backdoor I worry about, but due to the processor I use I can mount additional firmware and hopefully make a solution that doesn't piggyback on preexisting TEE on the CPU. Will keep the thread updated if I have any more questions.

Implementing an on-chain casino is probably not going to work very well if every bet involves a transaction. Maybe you can implement it on the Lightning network instead.

Otherwise, you are probably better off holding player balances in a database and have deposits and withdrawals go through the casino's wallet.

All bets are done server side with random.org, I've implemented user wallets so that transaction fees are lower

It's a casino-type platform where players can play against eachother, if they were able to control their own keys they would be able to run off if they lost to others

Safely storing newly created wallets programmatically?
by

I'm working on a project that creates a new wallet for the user that is not controlled by them, what would be the safest option for storing newly created private keys programmatically?

Currently, this is what I implemented: Creates new wallet with user-input randomness coupled with server side randomness, encrypts the private key with a password that is stored offline, clears the non-encrypted private key from memory, then writes the encrypted private key to the database.

The internet traffic is quite big for one full node already, if you put more than one, it'll be even greater, and that may attract some curious eyes too.
That's all that came into my mind. Plus, I would do IBD for only one node and then copy the data to all the rest.
Ignoring the initial downloading of the Blockchain. I can't imagine it bringing too many eyes when compared to what an average household would use for streaming services, and the like. Fortunately, we're in the age of streaming, and people are downloading their content constantly which has meant the traffic usage is much higher. I don't think three nodes would bring too much attention from a privacy stand point. I guess if you're streaming, and running the three nodes it would just add additional usage, but again certain households would use a lot more than the average anyhow.

I believe they were NeuroticFish was referring to the upload usage that would be coming from my network, this would indeed be different from other users on that ISP, but I don't believe it would be enough to cause much attention to be brought onto me.

I opted to use the WireGuard servers on Mullvad VPN. I'm aware I have to put my trust into them, but this seemed to be the cheapest plan to get past my ISP and privacy issues, other VPN providers are known to share data with Federals, and anyone who subpoenas them.

Did I miss anything in this plan? If so please let me know  Grin

Why all the complexity? Just run a Tor relay on each computer and hook up your nodes to them. Bitcoin Core has native support for Tor connections, in fact it is possible to configure it to listen only on Tor if you want.

I hadn't thought of that, thank you for the input. Native tor support would make it easier then my previous option with the added perk of being more secure  Grin

The idea of hosting a full node, or maybe even more then one has been in my head for a few months, I like the idea of running a Bitcoin node or two, and possibly an Electrum node along side those. Laying out the plan I devised would most likely be the best way to get feedback, so here it is.

Each node will be hosted on a laptop connected to one or more external hard-drives, they'll all sit on a rack made to hold miners. They all will have ethernet connection, and will all run simultaneously. That's where the anonymity issue comes into play, I want to run a node but I also don't want my ISP knowing and shutting off my service. I opted to use the WireGuard servers on Mullvad VPN. I'm aware I have to put my trust into them, but this seemed to be the cheapest plan to get past my ISP and privacy issues, other VPN providers are known to share data with Federals, and anyone who subpoenas them.

Hello Everyone!

Please keep your political opinions off this topic, as this is not something discussed here and there are other threads to express your thoughts regarding this matter.

At this moment we have the first 5MW available and we began placing clients:







Please note that we are fully booked and we are not currently looking for clients in this thread.

Binance is refusing to lock account belonging to Russian customer's, what is your take on this? I believe that this might be a better move due to Russian Citizens that don't desire war still being able to move their Roubles to crypto for safe storage.

On 24th February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale military invasion on Ukraine. The conflict has the potential to be a humanitarian catastrophe.

In the 48 hours since Russia launched a full-scale invasion on Ukraine, the UN reports 120,000 people have already fled their homes. Neighboring countries  are receiving refugees. Poland, for instance, has estimated that it could receive up to 1 million refugees.

In response to this crisis, we are donating $10 million USD to major Intergovernmental Organizations and local NGOs on the ground to help provide emergency relief to refugees and children to support logistics on the ground such as food, fuel and supplies for refugees in countries bordering with Ukraine and more.

To help the people of Ukraine please join us by donating crypto directly here.

You clearly have no sensible reason for your opinions because you seem to be of very low intelligence. You do not want a proper investigation of the Wuhan lab for bullshit reasons because you do not see there being any problem with a laboratory releasing a deadly virus into the world. You are a chlurmck.

Im not going to continue this argument, you have a history of spamming threads and swearing at members for no reason. Those reviews by the way, are ment for people who have been to the physical place, so you were misusing the review system by making a review when you have never been there.

We're still here guys & girls.

If any of you have visited the site recently, you might have noticed the lack of items....... Well Tesco blocked our IP address so we couldn't scrape the data anymore.

Anyway, I have written to their innovations team and hopefully, we'll get whitelisted. In the interim, we'll have to perform some magic and rely on older data.


Also, we are working on a historical pricing graph so watch out for that  Cool


I would recommend a different web crawling method, if you're getting flagged for scraping then you might have to change up how it works, are you using a headless browser with a user-agent or are you just reading html? Without disclosing exactly how it works would you be able to identify why it get you flagged?

Re: 3D Printed ducting designed for Asic Miners

on 01/03/2022, 16:12:45 UTC
Hi

We are 3D Print Shop 4 U. https://3dps4u.com

we design and print ducting that is designed to mount onto an ASIC miner to help you control the hot air and reduce the noise some.

We have provided ducting on eBay now since Jan 2018 and have a 98.7% positive feedback rating.

We have just expanded into our own website off eBay, but still operate on eBay.

We normally ship within 24hrs for smaller orders, please allow extra time for a larger order.

We have several designs for current ASIC miners including the Antminer S19 Pro or Goldshell KD5 etc, we also carry 120mm and 140mm Ducting.

We have just finished playing with a new material which is Nylon infused with Carbon Fiber. Which can withstand heat up to 155C/311F. We currently have very limited supply of this material and it is expensive compared to PLA +/PLA Pro. but it can withstand much higher air temps. as systems and technologies improve.

We can design custom ducting for specific machines if we don’t have a design currently for a miner. All it normally takes is one quick measurement.

Please contact us with any questions you may have. Sales@3dps4u.com

We are on Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/3dps4u

eBay Store located https://www.ebay.com/usr/3dps4u

Hey!

I like your idea with the 3D printed ducting, but if the air is hot enough, wont the PLA filament warp and melt slightly due to hot air?

There are so many people trying to get crypto from others by pretending to live in Ukraine and need the funds. You're gonna have to get some serious proof that you're telling the truth before someone sends you anything.

QuickAccount. You are an incredibly stupid person. I have never claimed that the Bitcoin blockchain should be used to store actual text of documents. That will be incredible expensive and insecure. Please learn what cryptographic hashes are because you are clearly a terrible and worthless human! You know absolutely nothing. I was simply talking about storing the MERKLE ROOTS of the documents. My review would have gotten more likes, but most people are too f***ing stupid and worthless to understand what I am saying, and that includes you.

P.S. You have absolutely no evidence that anyone there thought my review was satire. Quit making stuff up because it makes you look like a pile of s*i* that came out of a hippo's a*s*o*e.

I am proudly banned from Twitter because Twitter panders to institutions such as universities which promote VIOLENCE! Everyone on Twitter except for me is a m*r*n, so I have no choice but to insult them!

"Bitcoin was NOT made for storing text data such as those info logs."-IT DOES NOT F***ING MATTER WHAT YOU THINK THAT BITCOIN WAS MADE FOR BECAUSE THE LABORATORIES CAN POST MERKLE OF ALL THEIR DATA AT ALMOST NO COST, AND NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! DO YOU WANT BITCOIN TO NO LONGER HAVE CENSORSHIP RESISTANCE JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT BITCOIN IS TOO PRECIOUS TO CONTAIN THE MERKLE ROOTS OF DOCUMENTS? DO YOU WANT TO GET RID OF BLOCKCHAINS ALTOGETHER BECAUSE SOMEONE MAY WANT TO USE IT FOR A PURPOSE THAT YOU CANNOT COMPREHEND? YOU ARE SUCH A F***!

People on this site are incredibly s***** and pathetic!


I completely understand what you're saying, but I disagree with you. I am infact allowed to disagree with you. Going on swearing rants against the other opinion isn't what this forum is for, if your feelings get hurt that bad because someone disagreed with you, then the internet is not the place for you.
