1 2017-07-24 12:29:29 <adiabat> Hey - I think there is a problem with a wallet
2 2017-07-24 12:29:37 <adiabat> sending to a zero pubkey hash
3 2017-07-24 12:30:03 <adiabat> not sure if I can post an address here without getting banned but
4 2017-07-24 12:30:07 <adiabat> 14p5cGy5DZmtNMQwTQiytBvxMVuTmFMSyU
5 2017-07-24 12:30:26 <adiabat> pretty sure that's the hash of 21000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000ac
6 2017-07-24 12:30:51 <adiabat> in the last few days, a bunch of coins have been sent to that address, most likely in error & lost forever
7 2017-07-24 12:35:06 <goatpig> is there some altcoin ICO with a burn under way?
8 2017-07-24 12:35:38 <adiabat> It may be breadwallet; they have a recent update with a bunch of code that deals with pointers & key derivation
9 2017-07-24 12:36:11 <adiabat> I looked into this because someone got this address on a breadwallet android install, then wrote the address down
10 2017-07-24 12:36:30 <adiabat> he said "hey, the address I generated has 3 bitcoins on it! great!"
11 2017-07-24 12:36:59 <adiabat> this may be malware / a bad apk out there, or it may be a bug in key derivation
12 2017-07-24 12:38:51 <adiabat> seems possible if you have a bad pointer to your private key, and that gets sent in to a pubkey fom privkey, which then gets turned into the 14p5cG... address
13 2017-07-24 12:53:55 <uvarovserge> messagePrefix: '\x18Bitcoin Signed Message:\n',
14 2017-07-24 12:54:09 <uvarovserge> what does \x18 means? why 0x18?
15 2017-07-24 12:54:14 <uvarovserge> litecoin has 0x19
16 2017-07-24 14:36:45 <Emcy> hey. Do you know upnp in bitcoind does not seem to refresh a mapping periodically/automatically
17 2017-07-24 14:37:21 <Emcy> so if the gateway loses its mapping (by reboot perhaps) bitcoin will lose incoming peer capability
18 2017-07-24 15:42:18 <woodface> can i change the static const int64 MAX_MONEY without to have to ganerate new genesis block ?
19 2017-07-24 17:47:56 <adiabat> hey if anyone knows the breadwallet devs, I posted this issue:
20 2017-07-24 17:47:58 <adiabat> https://github.com/voisine/breadwallet/issues/437
21 2017-07-24 17:48:09 <adiabat> it's quite serious as I think it is resulting in lost funds
22 2017-07-24 17:48:31 <adiabat> so I want to get their attention it asap, not sure if they're on IRC or what
23 2017-07-24 17:53:22 <grubles> adiabat, looks like you got a response
24 2017-07-24 17:53:28 <grubles> on github
25 2017-07-24 20:41:49 <omarshibli> adiabat, any luck? I saw this commit on github https://github.com/breadwallet/breadwallet-android/commit/88378aade1d2674389ee38081feb9e992577ebb1
26 2017-07-24 22:17:48 <floog> I want to develop my own bitcoin client as a project, is reading the whitepaper enough? Or what else do I need to know?
27 2017-07-24 22:19:39 <goatpig> read the BIPs too
28 2017-07-24 22:23:18 <Dizzle> The Bitcoin Wiki is pretty great for this task. The interesting thing about the protocol itself is that it is up to the clients on the network what is acceptable and what is transmitted, hence "reference clients" can be used as a reference for the protocol and consensus rules.
