Like many others. I always had a fantasy that Satoshi Nakamoto (or whoever is behind bitcoin) to comeback one day and use the wallets owned.
Therefore since we're making a wallet. I had to outline 10 lines of why would Bitcoin creator use PrivateBit. And there they go :

10. Holding stays the default. It never pushes him to act. Moving is a deliberate, rare flow.
Clearing all ten with proof and we believe it's as good as a wallet he would use.
Past that, the only thing that's better is his own implementation.

Very nicely explained. I mentioned this yesterday under @Rob1Ham space.
The possibility that the attack was a single compromised key was still an option. Although multiple hits and Binance look like they sleep. So its definitely their rollup/payout system that got yoinked.
This looks like a compromise of Binance's internal wallet control systems, rather than direct access to signing keys.
The 11 theft txs match the wallet fingerprint of legitimate Binance activity.
Let's compare a routine sweep from earlier this year to one of the theft txs 🧵

Ordinals theory can't inheritely be a traceability feature. There are ways to make untraceable. We are working on a puristic model.
While there is an honorable mention @Ord_Dropz . Is there @Ob1_Wan_Satoshi ?
When all satoshis are traceable by ordinals theory
Then those stolen bitcoin should always traceable
Use ordinals protocol with your bitcoin nodes

Take a read ordinals enjoyer 📖
The engine for private ordinals is being built and tested. And here is a summary of what we have.
Ordinals and the fee pool each get their own account, on separate key paths.
A firewall in every send stops ordinals coins from being spent with payment coins, and stops ordinals change from going back to the main wallet.
You can top up the fee pool through its own Silent Payments address.
Topping it up straight from the main wallet needs an explicit acknowledgment.
We ran a real ord node on Bitcoin's local test network. It received three inscriptions with different postage and 300 runes, then sent them all.
Every inscription arrived at the right spot, and the runes split correctly with none burned.
The transactions match ord's own in shape and size.
How is this "private" ordinals or better said a privacy model for ordinals metaprotocol. Is gonna be explained next.
