<j​effro256:monero.social> Is luigi1111 able to see messages on IRC from Matrix?

who?

jeffro256: yes but you can't PM him from matrix

<j​effro256:monero.social> Ah makes sense thanks

<j​effro256:monero.social> I was just trying to PM them about my CCS payout

Maybe

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> jeffro256: contact plowsof

<j​effro256:monero.social> Well whoever, luigi1111 or plowsof , I just wanted to request payout for repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/c…als/-/merge_requests/390#note_22025. Thanks in advance ;)

<y​pavtv97lx:matrix.org> Hi, I have a concern about the security of my cold wallet that I generated years ago on a virtual machine (ubuntu) that was never connected to the Internet - Was there enough random data so the generated seed is not compromised due to low entropy ?

Well, "yes" and "no" seem to be the possible answers. That at least winnows out a lot of possible answers such as "green" and "scurrilous".

Unless someone here was there when you did, it's unlikely anyone knows.

But you could make a new wallet, ensuring everything is as you like, then move your monero to it.

Then your question is moot.

<y​pavtv97lx:matrix.org> So I shouldn't be concerned about someone generating my seed by brute-forcing due to too low entropy ?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> No. What mooo said was "if you are concerned: ensure concerns regarding entropy are addressed, then create a new wallet and move the funds from your old wallet"

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Mooo also said "you are either 100% sure that you did/didnot use low entropy when creating the wallet, or youre 100% sure that you dont know. In any case aside from "im 100% sure the wallet is good", you should be making sure you are 100% sure.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> tldr: youre clearly not confident, so common sense would dictate that you should create a new wallet and move the funds to it, as that is the only way to answer your question of "should i be concerned" with "you have no reason to be concerned".

I really said we do not know. It's either yes, no, but how can we know ? (yes, pedantically, it does depend on how much brute force power can be brough to bear against that wallet, but I was not feeling like pedantry I guess).

But, broadly, yes.

How they inferred "it's ok" frm what I said, I have no idea...
