To convert a mnemonic to a private key, you first need to generate a seed from the mnemonic using a key derivation function such as PBKDF2 or BIP39. The seed is then used to generate a master key using a hierarchical deterministic (HD) key generation algorithm such as BIP32.

The master key can then be used to derive a private key, which is a 256-bit number represented as a hexadecimal string. This private key can be converted to a WIF (Wallet Import Format) key for Bitcoin, or directly used to generate a public key and address for Ethereum.

To generate a Bitcoin address, the private key needs to be hashed using the SHA-256 and RIPEMD-160 algorithms, and then encoded using Base58Check. This produces a unique address that can be used to receive Bitcoin.

To generate an Ethereum address, the private key is used to generate a public key, which is a point on an elliptic curve. This public key is then hashed using the Keccak-256 algorithm, and the resulting hash is used as the address.

Step 1: Mnemonic to Seed

A mnemonic is a sequence of words that can be used to generate a seed for a hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallet. HD wallets are designed to create a hierarchy of keys, starting from a single “master key” that is derived from the mnemonic.

The seed is generated from the mnemonic using a key derivation function, such as PBKDF2 or BIP39. This function takes the mnemonic as input, along with an optional passphrase, and produces a 512-bit seed.

The seed is a random value that can be used to derive multiple private keys and addresses. It’s important to keep the seed secure, as anyone with access to the seed can generate the same keys and addresses as you.

Step 2: Seed to Master Key

The seed is used to generate a master key using an HD key generation algorithm, such as BIP32. This algorithm takes the seed as input and produces a master key, which is a 256-bit number.

The master key is the root of the key hierarchy for the wallet. It can be used to derive multiple private keys and addresses, each with their own level in the hierarchy.

Step 3: Master Key to Private Key

The master key is used to derive a private key using an HD key derivation algorithm, such as BIP32 or BIP44. This algorithm takes the master key as input, along with an index number that corresponds to a specific private key in the hierarchy.

The private key is a 256-bit number represented as a hexadecimal string. It’s important to keep the private key secure, as anyone with access to the private key can spend the funds associated with the corresponding address.

Step 4: Private Key to Bitcoin Address

To generate a Bitcoin address from the private key, the private key needs to be hashed using the SHA-256 and RIPEMD-160 algorithms. This produces a 160-bit hash, which is then encoded using Base58Check.

Base58Check is a custom encoding scheme that is used to represent Bitcoin addresses in a more compact and user-friendly format than raw hashes. The resulting address is a unique identifier that can be used to receive Bitcoin.

Step 5: Private Key to Ethereum Address

To generate an Ethereum address from the private key, the private key is used to generate a public key. This is done by performing a series of mathematical operations on the private key that result in a point on an elliptic curve. The public key is a 512-bit number represented as a hexadecimal string. This public key is then hashed using the Keccak-256 algorithm, which produces a 256-bit hash.

The resulting hash is the Ethereum address associated with the private key. Ethereum addresses are represented as hexadecimal strings and are 20 bytes in length. In summary, the process of converting a mnemonic to a private key and then generating a Bitcoin and Ethereum address involves several steps, including generating a seed from the mnemonic, deriving a master key from the seed, deriving a private key from the master key, and finally, generating a Bitcoin address using the private key and a Ethereum address using the public key. It’s important to keep the mnemonic, seed, and private key secure, as they provide access to the funds associated with the corresponding addresses.

Extract the private key from the seed phrase

A detailed answer to a frequently asked question!

Typically, non-custodial wallets use a seed phrase to restore access to funds. Seed is a sequence of 12, 18 or 24 words, BIP39 standard. This standard contains a dictionary of 2048 words and key generation protocols BIP32-44-49-84-141. With a wallet seed, you can access funds in almost any non-custodial wallet application. Accordingly, the reliability of seed phrase storage is a top priority for a cryptocurrency user.

In some wallets, access to funds is provided through the Private Key, which is a sequence of alphanumeric characters. It is worth noting that the private key provides access to only one specific coin address, while the seed phrase gives complete control over all coin addresses that were generated in the wallet. In simple words, the seed phrase contains all the private keys for all addresses in the wallet.

The process of extracting a private key from a seed phrase is quite simple, let's look at it using the example of the Ripple coin (XRP).

Attention! Further operations will be performed with your seed phrase. By continuing to follow the instructions, you take full responsibility for the safety of your assets.

• Save latest BIP39 release on PC https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/releases/
• Disable all networks on the PC - Wi-Fi, LAN, Bluetooth. This is necessary to ensure the security of your seed phrase. It is better to do this on a “cold” computer that will never be used for the Internet again (or the operating system will be reinstalled immediately after the necessary steps);
• Open the downloaded BIP39 release in html, and enter the seed phrase in the BIP39 Mnemonic field. In the Coin field, from the drop-down list, select the ticker of the desired coin, in our case it is XRP;

• In the Derived Addresses section, use the search (CTRL+F) to look for the address we need and its private key. In Trustee Wallet , this is usually the first address in the list, unless HD wallet mode is enabled.

• Now the resulting private key can be used in any official Ripple wallet.

This method can be used to obtain private keys from the seed phrase of any coin, but it is important to follow the rules of “digital hygiene.” Please note that the rules for handling and storing a private key are comparable to the rules for a seed phrase - do not transfer to anyone, store securely, etc.

PS If you don’t see the required address or you don’t see all of them, then you need to fill out the “Derivation Path” section. This also applies to wallets such as Coinomi, Atomic Wallet, where the coin path has a different standard. Full instructions on how to register the path of the coin you need can be found at the link https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki or in the documentation for the corresponding wallets.

 

Introducing LeoDex | Multi-Chain Swap Interface and HIVE Aggregator

As many of you already know, we've been working with the Maya team to list LEO on the Maya Protocol. Maya is a friendly fork of Thorchain and is a cross-chain, decentralized exchange.

This DEX protocol ecosystem is in the early stages of flourishing. They've released a ton of exciting updates with many more on the way. We believe Thorchain, Maya and other adjacent protocols are going to begin eating market share from the largest Centralized Exchanges in crypto.

Decentralized Exchanges have long-been a mission for me. I want to see LEO, HIVE, HBD and other Hive-based assets proliferate on DEXes and gain adoption.

I believe DEXes - especially L1, cross-chain DEXes - are the future of crypto trading.

Right now, the vast majority of crypto is still moved across centralized exchanges. You deposit into a custodial account and then your assets are at risk until you convert them and withdraw.

Most of us have experience doing all of this. As Hivers, many of us also remember how CEXes can be leveraged against a decentralized community.

To me, this poses a significant existential threat. I believe that every major crypto project needs to have a presence on L1 DEXes.

The Need for HIVE on DEXes

With LEO, LeoDex, our listing on Maya and our brand new Hive Aggregation Technology, we are proud to steward a march toward a decentralized future of trading for the Hive ecosystem.

LeoDex utilizes aggregation technology alongside the NEW LEO token listing on Maya in order to enable cross-chain, L1 swaps of NATIVE HIVE.

🟢 No Wrapped tokens
🟢 No KYC
🟢 Full Self-Custody
🟢 Incredibly Fast
🟢 Efficiently Priced

You simply connect your Web3 wallet and can instantly start swapping.

Right now, nearly 100% of all HIVE traders are trading on Centralized Exchanges like Binance. Why? Because there are literally no DEX listings for HIVE.

With LEO Listed in 2 critical places, we have the ability to integrate HIVE swaps into LeoDex and unleash L1 HIVE trading through the Hive Aggregation Technology we built.

The Need for LeoDex on Maya

We've taken a deep look at the exchange interfaces currently on Maya. There are some that have some cool features and UI/UX, but there is a severe lack of an intuitive, clean and feature-rich user experience.

That is where the INLEO Team can shine. We have so much experience in building UIs for the community, by the community.

An incredible opportunity has presented itself to simultaneously:

1. Bring HIVE & LEO to the world of Cross-Chain DEXes
2. Build a UI/UX for the Maya community that is superior to anything they've ever seen

Introducing LeoDex | Multi-Chain Swap Interface

LeoDex is a multi-chain swapping interface. It is powered by Maya Protocol and our Hive Aggregation Technology (HAT).

PLEASE NOTE We are launching LeoDex into OPEN BETA. We recommend using small amounts and being cautious with the UI. We've spent the past week running extensive tests and fixes but there can always be bugs with brand new technology.

At launch, LeoDex V1 offers a core feature set. There are many more features that will be rolled out with time but the initial phase of LeoDex offers a few game-changing features to the LEO, HIVE and Maya Communities:

1. L1 Swaps, Powered by Maya Protocol
2. L1 Liquidity Pools, Powered by Maya Protocol
3. Arbitrum Gas Faucet, Powered by LEO
4. HIVE Aggregation Tecnhnology, Powered by LEO
5. Multi-Chain Wallet UI
6. Multiple Wallet Options
7. Historical Swap UI
8. Affiliate Fees That Buy LEO + CACAO and Perma-Pool

This post will serve as an introduction to this initial feature-set. Subsequent posts will dive deeper into the nuances and how-to's of each. Let's dive in.

L1 Swaps, Powered by Maya Protocol

The core feature of an L1 Cross-Chain DEX is the ability to swap assets natively across blockchains. LeoDex is powered by Maya Protocol and with that connection, proudly offers these cryptos for L1, Native DEX Trading:

1. BTC
2. DASH
3. ETH
4. USDC
5. USDT
6. WSTETH
7. KUJI
8. USK
9. RUNE
10. CACAO
11. LEO
12. HIVE

*More on HIVE & LEO's integration below.

L1 Liquidity Pools, Powered by Maya Protocol

Maya Protocol runs based on AMM (Automated Market Maker) technology. This means that Liquidity Pools power the swaps.

LeoDex is launching with a barebones UI for depositing and managing L1 liquidity. This UI was not intended to be in the original feature set, but we added it as a little "Bonus" since we had some extra time for the v109 integration by Maya's Team.

This will allow users to deposit and manage L1 Liquidity.

This UI will improve greatly in the coming days. We wanted it live primarily for the launch of the LEO Pool.

To find tutorials on How to Deposit, check out the new LeoDex Docs Tutorial Section.

Arbitrum Gas Faucet, Powered by LEO

In the process of building our Hive Aggregation Technology (HAT), we realized a signifcant hurdle for the average Hive user of an L1 DEX: Gas.

LEO operates on Arbitrum and Arbitrum has gas fees. The gas fees are super cheap on Arbitrum. In fact, it is known as one of the cheapest EVM blockchains. Fees on transactions are typically $0.01 or less.

This makes our HIVE Aggregator extremely powerful. Since the fees are cheap, small swaps are possible. You could trade as little as $15 across this L1 aggregator with ease and cheap fees.

That being said, you still need just a few pennies of Arbitrum Gas (Arbi ETH) in your wallet to make these L1 swaps.

So we went to the drawing board to think of a way to faciliate the acquisition of gas for the typical Hiver. Guess what we came up with?

The Arbitrum Gas Faucet. You simply click two buttons and using your Hive Keychain Wallet, you send 10 LEO and get $0.75 worth of Arbi ETH gas autonomously sent to your wallet.

This side-steps the need for Hivers to interact with Arbitrum outside of clicking a few buttons. It was a massive roadblock to usability for the average Hiver who may not be familiar with Arbitrum and we just completely removed it.

You'll notice the "Arbitrum Gas Faucet" button light up on the LEO and the HIVE swap screens of LeoDex. Clicking it will get you gas for the Arbitrum blockchain. If you already have gas, then you don't need to use it.

HIVE Aggregation Tecnhnology, Powered by LEO

HAT allows any Hive-based assets to be swapped with L1 native assets on Maya Protocol. This is an incredible achievement for us. Many of you know that we have experimented with bringing HIVE & HBD to Decentralized Exchanges.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post - this has been a huge mission for me. I believe in the future of decentralizing crypto trading and bringing HIVE & HBD into this future.

The issue is that wrapped assets have a lot of headaches and roadblocks. I always wanted to get down to the L1 Native asset level with HIVE.

HAT makes this possible. Now you can swap L1 Native HIVE (and soon, other Hive-based assets) seamlessly with anything listed on Maya.

Want to swap L1 Native BTC for HIVE? Now you can do it with a few clicks via https://leodex.io.

This integration is an absolute game-changer for the LEO and HIVE ecosystems.

All the swaps are routed through LEO's Maya Protocol Liquidity pool. This swap volume will increase the yield for LPs from swap fees and thus, lead to deeper liquidity.

As this liquidity grows, larger and larger swaps will be possible. Maya is also working on Streaming Swaps.

Have you dreamed of a future where some BTC whale could come in and swap 10 BTC for 1.7M+ HIVE in a single transaction?

This future is now possible with LeoDex + Maya's upcoming Streaming Swap technology.

As of right now, we have 1 HIVE route enabled and we are quickly testing it and adding more routes. If you use this route, please understand that it is in Open Beta. We are still refining it.

1. Test with small amounts
2. We will be adding more routes (i.e. swapping into HIVE) once the 1st route is refined with 100% uptime

Shortly after that, we'll work on HBD swaps. We've also spoken to the Splinterlands Team and are going to build DEC & SPS swaps into LeoDex.

With LeoDex.io, a multi-chain future for HIVE-based Assets is now possible.

Multi-Chain Wallet UI

We built a super lightweight yet feature-rich wallet client for LeoDex. When you tap on your logged in wallet at the top right ,you can see all the chains that you are connected with and your various balances within the connected wallets.

Logging in with a Keystore, you'll see this in your wallet page.

The globe icon at the bottom left of each wallet will take you to the block explorer page for your wallet.

The QR code is the QR code for your wallet - you can use it to receive assets on that chain.

The copy icon allows you to copy your connected wallet address.

Clicking on the arrow icon next to any asset in this wallet client will open this window, which allows you to send assets. IMPORTANT make sure you fill the recipient address properly if you use this UI to send assets. Failing to do so will result in a loss of funds. This is a self-custodial crypto wallet interface. You are responsible for what happens when you send, swap or pool funds with the various connected blockchains.

A good reminder for all of LeoDex that Nifty gave in the Threadcast today: this is a self-custody future. LeoDex does not hold assets. You do not deposit into LeoDex. You connect your self-custody wallet. This means that anything that happens is up to you. LeoDex is simply there to connect you to Maya Protocol.

Multiple Wallet Options

At launch, there is Keystore and Hive Keychain as login options. Connecting with Keystore will connect you to all the checked networks.

If you check "Hive" it will also prompt you to enter your hive username after clicking connect wallet.

This will log you into LeoDex using Keystore + Hive Keychain with whatever Hive username you entered.

If you try to do an action that requires a HIVE sign in, but you haven't yet signed in with Hive - then we added this prompt that tells you to sign in with Hive Keychain. Clicking it will allow you to enter your username and then it will sign you in with Keychain.

We are sprinting right now to add XDEFI as a login option to LeoDex as well, but Keystore is the most utilized wallet client for Maya Protocol users, so we prioritized it for the launch day of LeoDex.

We hope to have XDeFi integrated by next week.

Historical Swap UI

Clicking the history button at the top right will show you your most recent transactions on Maya Protocol. If you click on any of these transactions, it will populate in the "Transaction Tracker" on the homepage.

From this tracker, you can view important info related your transaction including the TX Hash as well as the "View in Explorer" link to see it on the Maya Block Explorer.

Affiliate Fees That Buy LEO + CACAO and Perma-Pool

Trades on Maya Protocol using LeoDex generate affiliate fees for the LeoDex UI.

These affiliate fees are collected by LeoDex as CACAO tokens. LeoDex then autonomously buys LEO with 50% of the fee earnings. The other 50% remains as CACAO. It pairs the two tokens together and then Permanently Pools (Perma-Pools) them into the LEO-CACAO liquidity pool on Maya.

This is vital as the more trading volume that happens through LeoDex's interface, the more affiliate revenue will be earned which will lead to more organic buying on the LEO token and perma pooling into this LP.

This liquidity is vital for the Hive Aggregator to have efficient swaps. The flywheel starts with affiliate revenue. As this affiliate revenue grows, the liquidity will deepen. More liquidity leads to more swaps which leads to more affiliate revenue which is then deployed back into the LEO-CACAO Pool 🔂.

Track LeoDex's Progress

Mayascan has an Interface Wars section. LeoDex now prominently sits on the list. It's time to start using LeoDex for your L1 swaps. As swaps occur, the swap volume of LeoDex will grow and our ranking on this list will climb.

Our goal is to break into the top #3 DEX Interfaces for Maya Protocol.

With HIVE & LEO Swaps on the way once v109 is adopted, things are about to get wild.

In the meantime, go explore LeoDex and prepare for the ability to:

1. Add Liquidity to Maya's LEO-CACAO Liquidity Pool
2. Swap any L1 asset with LEO
3. Swap and L1 asset with HIVE

https://leodex.io is now live in OPEN BETA!

Again, test with small amounts. We are looking for rapid feedback, iteration and fixes in these early days. Your feedback is extremely vital to refine the experience of LeoDex and make it the best UI for L1 swaps on the Maya Protocol and Hive.

 

The solution to the “Havana syndrome”. How the GRU cripples American diplomats with secret weapons

casbt1osint.blogspot.com

View Original

Meanwhile, more and more Americans are reporting strange health incidents. In the summer of 2017, several victims appear in Guangzhou at once: some of them say they heard a strange high-pitched sound, unlike anything they had ever heard before. Victims also complained of dizziness, brain fog, headaches, short-term memory loss, insomnia and nausea. One victim reported that she would suddenly lose her balance and sometimes feel a sharp pressure in her ears. As a result, the US State Department had to evacuate more than ten employees from Guangzhou.

There were also similar incidents in Beijing in 2017. At least one American government employee, an employee of the Department of Commerce, reported strange sounds and sudden health problems - nausea, loss of balance, ear pain.

Information about the Chinese incidents is clearly incomplete, there may be more cases than we know today, just as there could be more trips by GRU employees, so it is difficult to make any comparisons between specific episodes and trips of 29155 members to China. Perhaps, thanks to this investigation, other victims will tell their stories, and this will allow us to establish the full picture.

Tbilisi, 2021. Identification of Albert Averyanov

Joy (we'll call her that) moved from the USA to Georgia in February 2020 with her diplomat husband and son. They settled in Tbilisi in a house on a quiet street not far from the embassy. Joy, a doctor by training, worked in a private American clinic.

On October 7, 2021, she was waiting for her son to return from school and washing clothes on the second floor. When she was taking clothes out of the washing machine, turning to the window, she suddenly felt something similar to a powerful sound wave that pierced her head to the left, from the side of the window, filled her with an all-consuming noise and responded with a terrible headache. Joy left the room and went into the bathroom, where the sound seemed to disappear from her head and she vomited. She called her husband, who soon arrived accompanied by security officers at the embassy.

While waiting for her husband, Joy looked outside, noticed a strange car that she had never seen on this street before, and took a photograph of it. Near the car she saw a tall, fair-haired man with a thin build. There was a girl next to him, they were very well dressed, as if they were going to a wedding or a play. When the man saw Joy taking photos of him, he quickly ducked into the car.

From that day until now, Joy has been experiencing severe migraines every day (which she has never had before). Her consciousness is foggy, it is difficult for her to find steps when she goes down the stairs, coordination of movements has been disrupted, and problems with the vestibular system have begun. She often has ringing in her ears and has developed hearing problems. The dizziness was so severe that sometimes it was even difficult for her to turn over in bed. Her hearing has become hypersensitive, and even the sound of the air conditioner sounds to her like the roar of an airplane engine.

At Johns Hopkins University, Joy was diagnosed, later confirmed at the University of Los Angeles: bilateral semicircular canal dehiscence, a very rare disease . It could be congenital, but then the disease would have manifested itself a long time ago, or it could be the result of an injury, but Joy had no injuries. She had to have surgery and have metal plates inserted on both sides of her skull. This alleviated the symptoms, but did not eliminate them completely.

American investigators were unable to determine what caused the incident. However, as The Insider found out, by a strange coincidence, GRU officers from unit 29155 were in Georgia at that moment.

On September 30, 2021, General Andrei Averyanov, head of military unit 29155, went on a work trip. At the same time, his son Albert Averyanov, whom his father took into his unit several years ago, also flew out of Moscow. Albert, despite his young age (then he was 21 years old), had already gained serious experience: while still a student at Moscow State University, in 2017–2018 he unofficially “trained” in Geneva under the supervision of the above-mentioned Yegor Gordienko, who was then working in Geneva under the cover of the second Trade Representative of Russia at the WTO. After this, Albert became an active member of the group (as can be seen from his calls and fellow travelers), although, unlike the others, he continues to lead a completely public lifestyle, flies abroad under his real name, plays football with friends for the Evian team ( 29 goals per year) . 60 matches), takes his girlfriend Nastya for a ride in his Mercedes-Benz ML/GLE - hardly any of his classmates knew about his secret life. At the time of the events described, Albert had just completed his master’s degree at the Faculty of Global Processes at Moscow State University (the topic of his thesis was “Formation and institutionalization of the global level of management of migration processes”).
