I’m only 6 minutes in so don’t spoil it for me but he just said this:

My friend forgot the password. The irony is is that he’s a poker player with a photographic memory. He remembers everything, cards, license plate numbers etc but he forgot this password.

I’m thinking, yeah right. Your “friend” is a degenerate gambler who has sold the coins chasing losses at a casino and “forgetting” the password is the way he doesn’ have to own up to it.

Maybe I’m too harsh and cynical but that’s what it smells like to me. I’ll keep watching and find out.

I feel bad now. Good story though.

Hack the planet!

I don’t want to watch the video.

So . . .

Is it relatively easy for a smart person to steal a crypto wallet or not?

[Gators1]

Maybe

I had to scan-watch the video you bastage!

So The Kingpin succeeded, but Trezor would have you believe “not next time, buddy.”

The rest is fair enough but why even mention “This attack requires full physical access to the device” like that in any way mitigates it?

Today I’m proud to announce the Hog Wallet:

You write your private key on a piece of paper, fold it over twice and stick it in your pocket. My system is impenetrable in normal operation. Any attack requires full physical access to the device.

I want one! If someone picks my pocket and uses the paper to steal my Lithucoins then I will be left immensely richer!

That’s enough to get whole industries that cave into tens of people.

Okay, I just created a variable called toBeOrNotToBe and I’m feeling rather pleased with myself.

// Validate is array / not array
const expectArray = kind === PROPERTY_ARRAY;
const isArray = Array.isArray(property);
if (expectArray !== isArray) {
    const toBeOrNotToBe = expectArray ? 'to be' : 'not to be';
    throw new Error(`Expected '${joined}' property ${toBeOrNotToBe} array.`);
}

I haven’t run the above code yet (it’s part of a bigger module) so it might be buggy.
