Out of all of the people Diego contacted, most didn't reply. The ones who did, sent their actual  public key . However, one idiot sent their  private key . The guy must've generated their first wallet and copied and pasted the wrong damn thing. Even though the wallet UI explicitly...

What is that? Who are you?

You don't know me. But I picked you. I picked a lot of people actually. But you're the first to respond. So if I can trust you, then I'll give you everything I have. Sorry that sounds weird. I have 576 million dollars worth of ...

Diego's palms sweated. He couldn't believe he was still alive. He should've been dead... well last year. But then he escaped narrowly. But when the agents got him last month, then he really should've died.

They both began laughing.

Fake messages from his friends' phone numbers arrived at his inbox to which he would respond. Keith's script intercepted these messages, prevented them from going to the friends' devices....

"I'd like a  beer as well."

Denver raised his hand. It took ten seconds. His voice wheezed through the air. He'd taken his oxygen mask  off. Marc Love had already gotten up but Denver swatted him away.

The waiter acknowledged the request. Gave the two younger men a look that asked 'is...

electricity was free up here. They had solar panels facing straight out into the sun. And boy did the station eat up a lot of juice. So many computers and appliances everywhere. And the whole infrastructure that allows people to survive inside of  Spacecity . the mechanism that taks the...

"I'm really glad I got to meet you."

"Same." she smiled. Her teeth were a shade of cream. Not white like the toothpaste commercials. He thought they were perfect. They probably would've been blinding white years before. Before all this coffee up in Spacecity . Man didn't Cal wish he was...
