Can anyone rebuff the argument in the article that if he did do the single legitimate proof, hackers could steal his bitcoins?
Also no word given that if he did prove himself what legal ramifications that opens himself up to with various governments
- kale 10y agoI think it's referring to the fact that you pay to a hash of a public key, but once you do a singe transaction, the public key becomes known. I'm not sure how that's a vulnerability, since the leftover balance is paid to a new address, and I was under the impression that early bicoins were paid to public address, and pay-to-hash-of-public-address was added later. I'd love for someone to enlighten this. (I got out of bitcoin when TradeHill was still running).
