Millions Recovered from Forgotten Wallet
In 2013, Michael lost access to his digital wallet containing 43.6 bitcoins due to a hard drive failure, a loss worth only a few hundred dollars at the time. By 2022, he realized that his wallet held a fortune, but he had no way to access it. With the help of hackers, he miraculously regained access to the stored bitcoins.
The Forgotten Password
Michael, who wished to remain anonymous, used the password manager RoboForm to generate a secure password consisting of twenty characters, including letters, numbers, and symbols. He stored this password in a file encrypted with TrueCrypt and saved it on his computer's hard drive. Unfortunately, he didn't back it up, and when the hard drive failed, the password to his digital wallet was lost.
In 2022, realizing the value of his inaccessible bitcoins, Michael sought help from security specialists and hackers, but their attempts were unsuccessful. The challenge of brute-forcing the password was deemed practically impossible.
A Breakthrough in 2023
A year later, Michael contacted two previously approached hackers who had gained experience with other password generators through reverse engineering. They decided to apply their skills to RoboForm.
A crucial clue came from a 2015 changelog on RoboForm's website, noting an improvement in the randomness of its password generator. This suggested that earlier versions, like the one used in 2013, might not have been truly random. The hackers hypothesized that the system time was used as a seed for generating passwords.
By manipulating the system time, they discovered that RoboForm could produce the same password if the same time was used. They created a program to generate possible passwords by incrementally changing the system time, generating around 100 passwords per second.
The Successful Attempt
They generated a batch of passwords for the time period when Michael's password was likely created in 2013, but the initial attempt failed. In a moment of desperation, they reconsidered the possibility that Michael might not have included special characters in his password. Adjusting the parameters, they restarted the process, and on the second attempt, they succeeded.
"We were fortunate that our parameters and time range were correct. If any had been wrong, we would have continued guessing blindly," said Joe Grand of Offspec.io, who led the project. "Pre-calculating all possible passwords would have taken much longer."
The wallet, containing bitcoins worth approximately $3 million (about 67 million CZK), was finally accessible. Without the corrected error in the RoboForm application, accessing the wallet with current methods would have been impossible.
For those interested in the detailed process, Joe Grand, one of the two hackers behind the recovery, has shared a video explaining the breakthrough. This article is based on information from his account.

📍Definition:
A hot wallet is a type of digital wallet that stores the private keys of digital currencies online.
📍Security:
A hot wallet is considered less secure compared to a cold wallet due to the constant connection to the Internet, which makes it more vulnerable to hacking and cyber attacks.
📍Usage:
The hot wallet is mainly used for day trading and instant transactions, and is suitable for people who need quick access to their digital assets.
📍Examples:
- Mobile application wallets: such as MetaMask and Trust Wallet, which are applications installed on smartphones.
- Web wallets: such as the wallets of the exchanges Coinbase and Binance, which can be accessed via the browser.
-Desktop wallets: Software that is installed on your computer such as Exodus and Electrum.
📍Advantages:
- Ease of use and quick access to funds for instant transactions.
- Suitable for daily trading and frequent uses.
📍Disadvantages:
- Vulnerable to hacks and cyber attacks due to constant connection to the Internet.

AI and RWA are in the past. A new narrative is going to replace them!
Crypto market moves from narrative to narrative, giving opportunities to make big money to those who are early and less greedy.
Today, I will reveal a new narrative that is currently not obvious to most.
DePIN > RWA > AI > what's next?
Blockchain service was the most funded category by venture capitalists last year.
But it includes a wide range of projects, one of them being wallets.
Why am I so optimistic about wallet tokens?
1. MetaMask's IPO in May-June.
2. Exodus will go public on the NYSE American and tokenize its shares soon.
3. High BTC dominance - altcoin season is inevitable.
4. Long accumulation.
@safe
Safe (previously Gnosis Safe) is a multi-signature wallet that's commonly used by projects, startups, and institutions.
It's built on smart contracts. A transaction can be sent only if the majority of signers approve it (2/3, 3/5, etc.).
Tier1 backers include:
1. 1kx (lead)
2. Coinbase Ventures
3. Digital Currency Group (DCG)
4. Lightspeed Venture
5. Tiger Global
Valuation was not officially disclosed, but it was reported to be worth around $1.25 billion, $1.25 per token.
$SAFE
The chart looks better than 90% of altcoins, the price is approaching key resistance.
Price targets:
• 3.30
• 4.35
• 5.40
Since GSR invested, I suppose they are the MM here, they know how to push the price up.
I calculated the average price of VCs' tokens, considering Core Contributors and Foundation, it's about $0.33 per token.
A $1.25 billion valuation in 2022 doesn't seem credible; there could have been a catch or intentional misleading.
VCs' profit is not large by standards of venture investing and there's not enough liquidity for them.
Safe tokenomics
There won't be huge unlocks soon; instead, it will happen smoothly until 2030.
Users received 37 million tokens (~$75M), but the price did not collapse, perhaps because the market maker accumulated these tokens to send the price significantly higher.
Only then will there be liquidity for VCs and the team to fix profits, which is currently not present.
@TrustWallet
Trust is a non-custodial mobile and extension wallet that was acquired by Binance in 2018.
They recently added Swift Wallet feature, which is a type of smart wallet aimed at increasing mass adoption by eliminating seed phrases and allowing payment of gas fees in any token.
After going through the top 100 wallet addresses, I noticed that early holders haven't been selling for years - from 2020 until now, even after significant price growth.
To back up my statement, here are a few wallets:
1. 0xd1b189422012e023edeec0eaa1270af78b0a4d71
2. 0xbcda6b138f41c8c5cfec32568817ca168b24fc29
3. bnb18jr0rwanc9caweya9s0rqx7yj56t2087faw7dp
$TWT key metrics
Market Cap: $451M | FDV: $1.1B
Price targets:
• 3.80
• 5.60
• 7.50
Trust's business model is sustainable, since the project generates revenue $70K from swaps every day. After looking at statistics we see clear uptrend.
@iSafePal
SafePal is a mobile, hardware, and estsension wallet backed by Binance Labs and Animoca Brands. It competes closely with other top-tier wallets like Ledger Nano X and Trezor Model T
In 2023, SafePal sold over 10 million units of its hardware wallets globally.
Pre-valuation: $40.00 M
$SFP key metrics
While most alts were bleeding and dropped by 50% or more, SFP has been strong and shows an uptrend, approaching the resistance level on a weekly timeframe. It's been accumulated for about 100 weeks.
Market Cap: $362M | FDV: $392M
Next major unlock: July 31, 2024
Price targets:
• 1.55
• 2.30
• 3.05
Other wallet tokens
$C98 - Price: 0.26 | Market Cap: $198M | FDV: $263M
$XDEFI - Price: 0.08 | Market Cap: $7.2M | FDV: $19.8M
My positions:
I have bought $TWT for now, maybe I'll add some $SAFE soon.
Stay on my TG channel, I'll share my portfolio updates there.

What is Multisig wallet?
Multisignature (multisig) wallets are a type of cryptocurrency wallet that require multiple signatures or approvals before a transaction can be executed. This provides an extra layer of security and helps prevent unauthorized access to funds.
In a traditional cryptocurrency wallet, a single private key is used to control access to funds. This means that if someone gains access to the private key, they can potentially steal all the funds in the wallet. Multisig wallets solve this problem by requiring multiple signatures, which can be provided by different people or devices.
The most common type of multisig wallet requires two of three signatures to approve a transaction. For example, a company might set up a multisig wallet with three signers: the CEO, the CFO, and an external auditor. In order for a transaction to be executed, at least two of the three signers must approve it.
Multisig wallets can also be set up with more than three signers, and different combinations of signatures can be required depending on the specific needs of the wallet owner. For example, a company might set up a multisig wallet with five signers, requiring at least four signatures to approve a transaction.
Multisig wallets are commonly used by cryptocurrency exchanges, large companies, and other organizations that hold significant amounts of cryptocurrency. They provide an extra layer of security and help prevent unauthorized access to funds in the event of a security breach or other security incident.

Breaking News: Microsoft testing Ethereum wallet in EDGE Browser
Tech giant Microsoft has reportedly developed a #cryptocurrency #wallet called "Crypto Wallet" in the testing version of its Edge web browser, according to software researcher Albacore.
The wallet is based on Ethereum and will allow users to store and transact Ethereum and Ethereum-based tokens in a non-custodial way, similar to Metamask.
Although still in early testing stages, the wallet will feature a built-in #Ethereum exchange that supports ETH, DAI, UNI, USDC, and USDT.
Microsoft has not confirmed the wallet's existence but has been active in supporting Web3-related projects, including establishing standards for the metaverse and introducing metaverse features in its Teams app.
The wallet may also support Bitcoin at a later date.
