Added first xpub in Bitcoin Fun section #551

Hi @prusnak. Sorry to disturb you, but I would like to discuss with you about this PR.

It adds the first example of a leaked xpub in Bitcoin Fun section of BTC RPC Explorer (xpubs were allowed recently in this section). It is a perfect example because it shows how things can go wrong when a xpub key is leaked together with a derived private key. But the problem with the embedded link is the criticism of your action at that time, and so I need your approval before I submit this PR.

@Thierry61 I prefer this not to be added. The blogpost does not explain truthfully what has happened.

Thierry61 commented 1 year ago

No problem, I will close the PR.

Note that I am interested if you happen to know another interesting example of a leaked xpub key (with a non-controversial link!)

Hello. If xpub zpub ypub wallet has Bitcoin, you can extract it. I will extract the private key of the same wallet. And I will become a partner.
