Hacking a Samsung Galaxy for $6,000,000 in Bitcoin!?
Ғылым және технология
With the promise of up to $6 million worth of Bitcoin locked on this Samsung Galaxy phone, it was a challenge we couldn't refuse. In this episode, Joe moves his lab to a Seattle hotel room to hack the phone live with owner Lavar, a transit operator, and his friend Jon. Was the adventure worth it!?

Honestly, probably because it feels like it's produced by the same studio doing every formulated reality show on network television. It's a topic tech enthusiasts, engineers, programmers, etc. would love to see in detail but it's edited like an episode of Hoarders and some DIY makeover show. It tries to appeal to a wide audience and checks a lot of boxes while not really focusing on any of them. I'm not saying it's bad or necessarily an issue. It's obviously pulling in views but it's basically the vanilla ice cream of content creation. He needs to figure out who his audience is. Just my two cents.

Yeah, the sucky part was we could see the ending from a mile away. There's loads of people out there with supposed Btc from "the early days" but it comes down to just a few coins from only a few years ago. There's a huge difference between spending $900 in 2012-ish to buy 15 coins, compared to spending $400 in 2017-ish to buy 0.15 coins. And then another huge difference trading them for $60k versus $20k per coin. One amounts to roughly $1Million, the other to $3,000. Or in this case, difference between $6Million versus $600.

You are amazing Joe, I'm sure everyone enjoy moment you working on the devices
Your great Engineer Strategies are kind like Beat the Tony Stark

Great video but I am so gutted for Lavar... I was so hoping to see a life changing end for him. Good job Joe, I just had to watch this from start to finish.
Not the desired outcome but the video was excellent either way. Great hack!
Poor Lavar. I liked this video. Great job Joe. Liked and subscribed. You're the man.

I actually watched the whole thing..very well put together. I felt ever bit of that end result. I'm pretty sure that's why the word DAMN was created.

Just epic ending, that's better than a blockbuster.
Don't drink tap water guys
somehow, also on computers, this kind of stuff always seems to happen when your client is right there while you are working on the device. what seems to be straightforward and easy turns into a rabbit hole of twists and turns.
Man this video is amazing, the scenes, everything. Even got excited when you cracked the password. Good job :)
Man I was rooting hard for Lavar, these guys are a bunch of champions. Was the adventure worth it? Hells yeah man - he got closure at least, and a great video to boot!
The production and quality of this video and the content enveloped in it is too good. Great job. Excited to see your future endeavors.
You could really tell how nervous the owner was. Awesome video. Btw I LOVE the soldered on external jtag breakout, it always looks so cool to have almost invisible tiny strands of wire come together on a breakout board and connect to a reader
Cool video! But I think the easiest task was the soldering. SMD soldering isn’t that hard if you use enough flux and a stable counterpart. His version with single thin leads wasn’t the best way. He should have used a socket of the same size, split into half and then solder pin to pin with enough flux. Then you can solder it with any big iron and the tin would only stick to metal/copper and would have no shorts. The other work is pure genius!
Unreal how you aren't one of the most popular people on youtube. Your videos are the best! Fellow Oregonian too here
I feel bad for both because I believe he charges a percentage to hack the wallets...and both came out losing but a emotional nerve racking video and definitely a learning experience for both men
