While I was scrolling through random Bitcoin-related stuff earlier on X, I stumbled upon a new wallet ^{[Zelcore - Desktop and mobile]} that just started supporting Taproot addresses: 8.3.0: New Upgrade, More Features.

• We have to add a different Bitcoin account from the drop-down list of assets that uses the exact same name for all three of their supported formats (labels change once they're part of our portfolio).
  ^{Note: I prefer not to vouch (DYOR)!}

I did some digging, but I had no luck finding a source for the latter part... Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

As a Trezor Model One owner, I'll be upgrading to the Safe 3 soon, but it's mainly because of the lack of firmware updates on T1.
^{- I'm not trying to play down the role of SE in hardware wallets (it's always better to have another layer of protection), but even Trezor puts emphasis on using a strong passphrase in the "latter part of their SE page".}

Here you go: Infineon OPTIGA Trust M

Looks can be deceiving... Most newcomers tend to ignore the importance of having a secure wallet for their assets and when the time comes to spend those assets, they'll hit a roadblock!

It's ASICs now!

Normally, it won't use a lot of bandwidth ^{[I'm blaming it on the app that you and your friends were using at the time (e.g. perhaps it was tracking a lot of stuff)]}!

I tend to go with less popular ones that aren't offering a wide range of services because they happen to be more responsive and on top of that, most of them come with reasonable fees... Apart from things @logfiles mentioned in the latter part of his/her post, transparency matters as well.

Kahit gumagamit ng registered alphanumeric sender ID ang GCash, unfortunately pwede pa rin ito ma bypass ^{[mahirap pero posible]} through the use of application-to-person messaging ^{[also known as A2P]}... Maaring na-compromised ang A2P provider na ginamit ng mga scammer or hindi nila ginagawa nang maayos yung trabaho nila ^{[e.g. verification parts on A2P's end]}: Scammers can slip fake texts into legitimate SMS threads

I'm not sure how long you plan to do these kinds of tests, but considering that v4 is around the corner, it might be better to just go with "Regtest" instead.
^{- Alternatively, there's also the option of utilizing "Signet" for those tests.}

@Sapfirex_ex
This is the first time I've seen a so-called reliable exchange with only round numbers as its reserves ^[archived] and considering that your platform is still quite new, would you mind providing proof of reserve for those claims?
^{- Normally, a Bitcoin-signed message is the priority but in this case, just pick anything that you're more comfortable with!}

Without knowing what you're currently selling in your brick-and-mortar store, it's hard to suggest a great business idea but if it has something to do with electronic devices, you can try becoming an official reseller of a certain hardware wallet brand/s ^{[the more, the better]}.

@Princess Leah
As a short-term GPU miner ^{[in 2011]} who was a college student back then, my dead GPU ruined my chances, and considering that I had a small budget at my disposal, I had no choice but to forget about Bitcoin and mining as a whole.
^{- FWIW, I strongly believe "everything happens for a reason" (no regrets).}

You might want to add a note beneath this line to point out the fact that some/most of these so-called crypto hunters are also scammers and I believe this part deserves having its own dedicated section in your article ^{[e.g. ways of identifying them]}.

• BTW, the third-party providers I've listed in "this post" might be useful.

Yes, two out of three GitHub issues ^[open] with the following label are referring to Bluetooth, so it's safe to say they're going down that path ^{[at least for the next one (unfortunately)]}:
^{- FWIW, based on how they've labeled their devices, I expect the next one to come with a new form factor.}

There's support for Taproot addresses but for some reason, it's hidden deep inside their Advanced settings:

• Advanced > Address Viewer > P2TR <sup>[depending on the three address format tabs that appear, you might have to do some horizontal scrolling]
  - I cross-checked other types of receiving addresses (first ones) that appear for each of the other formats and they matched so I guess the P2TR ones are also valid.</sup>

Same here, but considering their CEO mentioned in the past that production would happen sometime this year, I was expecting/hoping to see it in their latest product so I guess there was a minor setback.

  but I hopping to see Trezor making a good airgapped device as alternative for Passport and Keystone wallets.
  
  Unfortunately, the next one appears to be getting a Bluetooth upgrade, so it's not going to be fully air-gapped ^{[regardless of them allowing users to turn it off in SW/HW]}.
  

No, not to my knowledge ^{[unfortunately]}.

@ContentWriter
Other users already answered your question, but I want to point to something else... If the second-hand HW that you were looking to buy is at the higher end of the price spectrum, it's worth noting that various cheaper brand-new models in the market can also provide similar protection to a certain degree: List of hardware wallets ^{[pick something that has a "secure element" while being "open-source" and having "reproducible builds"]}

Matagal na akong hindi gumagamit ng Exodus pero kung tama ang pagkakaalala ko, may custom transaction fee option sa Exodus ^{[minsan mataas tlga yung nirerecommend nila na TX fee, kaya kahit ibaba mo pa yung fee, hindi pa rin maiiba ang priority niya pero make sure to cross-check it with a "gas tracker" or other sources]}.

I'm one of those users who reads every bit of those things ^{[if I intend to really use them]} so I'd recommend others to pay more attention to such things ^{[e.g. preventive measures]}!

Great catch with the amount of reported bugs on their repository, but it's worth noting that they've published two wallets on Play Store and they recently came out of beta ^{[refer to this post on X]}:

• Bitkit Wallet Beta
• Bitkit Wallet

It's an interesting wallet with a nice set of features, but certain elements/parts of their website remind me of Ledger ^{[I hope there's no connection between the two]}.
^{- I haven't fully tested it yet, but I installed it in an emulator to quickly check if there are any limitations from taking screenshots of the recovery phrase and unfortunately, there weren't any (they do have other types of warnings, but still...)!}

If I understood your presentation correctly, apart from the "SHAD strategy bot", this part is also a paid feature... Am I correct? If that's the case, it doesn't make sense to charge them a certain amount of fee for such a thing.
^{- BTW, how much does the premium option cost?}

For an exchange with many reviews on mywot, I'm seeing little to no changes in your current reserves compared to what it was "roughly three and a half months ago"!

• Would you mind signing a message from an address that contains at least 10% of your Bitcoin reserve?

@scaran
Sorry for your loss, but their ridiculously high annual passive income ^{[up to 420%]} should've been a clear red flag to you!

• FWIW, this isn't the first fake/scam platform with that exact theme and template:
  ^{Note: I only included the ones I could properly archive!}
