Could you "fake" burn? I don't understand how you can create a Wallet or send it to a wallet without a key but there being no possible way of creating a key or cloaking a legit wallet as a burn wallet?

Sorry if I sound retarded I know nothing of the space.

You can, but there are burn addresses that are public and known to be legitimate burn addresses. Think of it like dropping money into a fire. Sure, you can say you did it, but for these addresses just sending it to the address is proof it was burned and then there are plenty of people/programs watching it to then remove the currency from circulation and calculations and stuff.

ooh, ooh, how do I set up a "legitimate burn address" ? That sounds like the job for me !

"did you burn that coin?"

"uuuuhhhh.. yep"

I know you think you're smart but these transactions are publicly verifiable, that's the whole point of the blockchain stuff. You can see what address X sends to address Y and Z. No personal identifiers except the address itself.

Anyone being fooled by someone lying about this would also be fooled by literally anything, at which point you should try more effective scams than crypto if that's the goal.

That's exactly what he did. He just said at the start of one video "I burned all the dev tokens to prove that I'm serious."

No evidence shown, just that one line. I laughed when I saw it, because that's exactly what someone preparing for a rug pull would say.

Something something mathematically impossible for a private key to exist for the used public key.

At least that's how I've seen it explained, I did not verify it myself.
