Found a btcrecover program on github ... going to screw around with that. Since bitcoins went crazy and nearly hit $20K apiece, I went and dug up my wallet from 2012 and found 10.09 mined bitcoins still on it. I hope I've got a decent idea of what the password would be. Brute Force!

Bitcoin dropped on Friday. 1 bitcoin is worth $13,813.04. If you have 10.09 bitcoins. That's worth $139,373.57. Nice chunk of change.

They are saying that the bitcoin market is headed for a ruff ride. Gov't is looking to get their taxes off of it. As it is capitol gains. They look at it the same as stocks and bonds. You make a profit, they want a piece of it.

I remember thinking it wasn't worth the effort when the price was around $100 apiece. They were pushing $20K apiece earlier this week

If I crack it, I will definitely be installing a Fast Intention Twin Turbo on my Z

Good luck to them. Unless the bitcoin community wants to pay the taxes it ain't gonna happen. The government can take it from companies accepting bitcoins, but they'll never get capital gains taxes from individuals that don't want to pay it.

I've seen brick and mortar bitcoin stores that will pay you cash for bitcoins or vice versa. No identification exchanged, so I'm not sure how anyone would find out you made a bunch of cash from selling them.

From what I read. The gov't just has to follow the transactions. They will have no problem with that. All the gov't's is holding back and wanting to see how this will play out before dropping the hammer. The Chinese have done some things already. They all want their pound of flesh. If they can't get it. They will close it down.

No matter what we think. The gov't WILL have the last word in this.

They can follow the transactions all they want. What they have to do is associate the transaction with an individual. Right now I'm sure it would be easy for the government to do so because bitcoin users know they aren't doing so just yet. Once they do start trying to tax bitcoins, the transactions will start going through different channels to avoid government oversight. Eventually it may have to go underground completely, but it is likely the bitcoin economy online is sufficient enough to survive in an isolated environment; there's a lot of stuff you can purchase anonymously with bitcoins. Or they'll just use currencies outside the US government's jurisdiction. It's not hard to convert foreign currency to US cash without the government's knowledge of who the money belongs to.

I have a spare 980 4GB GPU if you want to use it for cracking.

I think I'm good on that front; thank you very much for the offer. I've got a buddy helping me out. He's got the experience and hardware. I'm just going to get things started and run it on his machine. If we run into problems, he's my troubleshooter

tickets are not that expensive.

Bargain basement prices on rountrip is $295. Seats are in the cargo hold, under the leaky economy class toilet though.
