Will. I found my P2PKH Private Key. It's uncompressed. Nunya muted me and I have not been on for months (WTF)?
I need help getting my funds. Also, it will generate a new block (50 BTC to the miner).
Who can help me?

2023-07-22 02:03:42 UTC

Should I mine my own block? Is that allowed?

2023-07-22 01:59:54 UTC

I am having to use Damus Amethyst for Android because nothing shows in Nostgram.

Help, Nunya.
I found my P2PKH Private KEY. It's uncompressed and I need to make it compressed to WIF format. Also, I must sign the transaction.
What do I do?
Please help.
Also, a NEW BLOCK will be generated and create a miner award of 50 BTC.
Please, someone HELP.

Derek.
Please help.
(1) I found my P2PKH private key. The miner will likely receive 50 BTC for generating a NEW BLOCK.
(1)(a) How do I compress an uncompressed private key that is Base 58 P2PKH to WIF compressed format so I can import my funds?
(1)(b) How do I sign my transaction by generating the signature with my private key from a previous transaction? Do I have to do that because it's P2PKH?
(2) Does Nostrgram still work because I cannot see any messages I post there buy I see them in Damus for Android? If so, please contact the Nostrgrsm admin and send this message.
Thanks.

I found my P2PKH private key and the miner will likely receive a 50 BTC payout for generating a NEW BLOCK. How do I recover my funds?

Omg? You guys are charging for a 30-day subscription to a relay now? IMO, that is a sure way to end anything possibly good to come out of the nostr platform because it deters users from engaging when there is already an issue in keeping a users base to be consistently engaged. Smh. I don't usee it enough to pay for a relay service and if there is going to be a charge for any relay service, it should be based on user usage per account. Why pay for something you are not using? 🤔https://media.tenor.com/m2r1OCUD_OYAAAAd/robert-downey-jr-frustrated.gif

No. This request is not intrusive and the norm since you are not promoting advertising and primarily work to provide a free service to users similar to the example of Wikipedia or Cornell Law School reference services. Additionally, if you a 501(c)(3), an appropriate receipt for tax write-off purposes for a registered nonprofit foundation would likely increase the amount donors may contribute.

I would say, this issue would be isolated to a small subset of banks if Dodd-Frank was not partially changed in 2018. Nevertheless, in 2018 the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act "rais[ed] the threshold to $250 billion from $50 billion under which banks are deemed too big to fail and also eliminated the Volcker Rule for small banks with less than $10 billion in assets."
Therefore, while a smaller confined subset of financial institutions would have been the only concern, we are now looking at a larger regional group that could potentially cascade out of control along with the necessary rise of interest rates. However, the US economy is strong, unlike the 2007-2008 Great Recession that was looming since 2005 which will confine any domino effect to the specific regional banks, associated regional communities and industries, and troubled tech sectors. Additionally, the digital currency markets will take a large hit (This is the crash I've been waiting for because the market has not come close to being bottomed from the recent crash and the Fed has over and again demonstrated a unique historical pattern to flush out instabilities and pop balloons in the markets. The Bitcoin ballooned value will also likely be highly impacted. Silverlake Cryto Bank also crashed this week. And mostly all account holders with SVB were uninsured deposits and commercial accounts.).

Everybody who owns stocks or has investments in China pr its allies better be ready to pull out before the crash because the United States of America, Europe, and their allies will be pulling out of the Chinese manufacturing base and relocting to friendly countries if China supplies weapons to Russia (The manufacturing relacation plan is already in place).

If he's innocent and his rights were violated, then why did flee.
It sounds like to me that you have no idea how the justice system works and drinking the cool-aid. The only evidence anyone needs until he makes a stand in court is the fact he fled. If he is so innocent, then prove it in a court. Again, the fact that he fled proves that he knows he's guilty and the rest is a circus act.

WWIII is inevitable and the war will likely be wide spread soon.
Therefore, If the war comes, I will probably die sooner than others because I live where many military strategic targets are located and I have made peace with my demons and ready to die.
Hopefully, the common people and all of humanity will win in the end.

Not at all. He's not an enemy combatant. And that is why he should seek protection from the court to ensure his rights aren't violated. He would go through the court process, not be detained by the CIA as a foreign citizen.
Let's be honest, if he lost in court, he wouldn't get much time being young and a first offense.

Nobody. That is why I said it's probally his biggest fear. Although, I don't believe he'll have anything to worry about. And it would probably all work out because it's a different culture today. It'll all come out in the wash.
There are court proceedings he could start now in absentia. Although, he would have to initiate everything. It would look better on him if he tried something to make mends. They would allow him to bond.
He could demand extradition in all alleged charges against him and they would have 180 days to transport him or all could be dismissed. Or, he could file civil petitions for protection. You never know unless you try.

Bitcoin is not sustainable and everyone knows it (Quantum computers are coming).

I have full faith with absolute loyalty in the CIA and NSA, and they have reasons for what they do.
With all due respect, if you have a gripe with USA intelligence, you should have went about it differently where you would have been protected by whistle blower statutes instead of violating espionage statutes (Nobody is above the law, not the CIA, NSA, or your unlawful actions since there is a legitimate process for reporting violations instead of leaking intelligence to the press that violates laws. You believe you're a hero, but in my eyes, you're only another criminal seeking attention because you're equally guilty and did not follow the statues that would protect you. Your wrongful actions doesn't make it right).
Also, I do believe you should let it go or face the music because you're beating a dead horse until to have enough balls to fight in a US Court for what you believe in. That was a long time ago and you ran instead of appropriately making a stand to fight for what may be right.

A.3. Sample Code
We include here a sample implementation of deterministic DSA. It is
meant for illustration purposes; for instance, this code makes no
attempt at avoiding side-channel leakage of the private key. It is
written in the Java programming language. The actual generation of
the "random" value k is done in the computek() method. The Java
virtual machine (JVM) is assumed to provide the implementation of the
hash function and of HMAC.

/**
* Deterministic DSA signature generation. This is a sample
* implementation designed to illustrate how deterministic DSA
* chooses the pseudorandom value k when signing a given message.
* This implementation was NOT optimized or hardened against
* side-channel leaks.
*
* An instance is created with a hash function name, which must be
* supported by the underlying Java virtual machine ("SHA-1" and
* "SHA-256" should work everywhere). The data to sign is input
* through the {@code update()} methods. The private key is set with
* {@link #setPrivateKey}. The signature is obtained by calling
* {@link #sign}; alternatively, {@link #signHash} can be used to
* sign some data that has been externally hashed. The private key
* MUST be set before generating the signature itself, but message
* data can be input before setting the key.
*
* Instances are NOT thread-safe. However, once a signature has
* been generated, the same instance can be used again for another
* signature; {@link #setPrivateKey} need not be called again if the
* private key has not changed. {@link #reset} can also be called to
* cancel previously input data. Generating a signature with {@link

I see it differently #[0] #[1] .
(1) Miners arw being paid for a block size whether its full or empty, a block is a block,
(2) sats are a legitimate form of payment the same as "This Note is legal tender for all debts public or private" listed on cash bills and used the smae as an exchange of funds between individuals outside of the banking network, and
(3) sats are now a form of "cash."

I don't the Nostrgram layout because I like smooth scrolling. Tumblr has the option for multi column or single colum. It should have the option.

China is using the andriod apk's, working on an apple sideload, and sharing the app they already downloaded 😜.

No. If the device has it, the device would have to delete it. And China is a running a back already and opened a second group in wechat a couple of hours ago.
Chinese 🇨🇳 have learned that the CCP may stop the client from being downloaded, but users can still sideload the app and the CCP cannot stop the protocol.
