Each line with installer/binary has the corresponding signature file.



And of course you have to take a look where you save them (or use Save As)


If you have troubles seeing the file extensions, look at tutorials like this one https://www.itsupportguides.com/knowledge-base/windows-7/windows-7-how-to-display-file-extensions/

I also recommend the official website. And they accept card, paypal and bitcoin: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006658493-Payment-methods


Well, if you want it to be sent to your home, you don't have much of a choice. Maybe Post Box, but I don't know how that works in Russia.


An option is an USB stick with a live OS. (e.g Tails OS)
On the stick persistent storage you may have to install a newer version of Electrum, for example, and after that always make sure your internet cable is disconnected when you boot from the stick.
You can find tutorials here or on Electrum website how to work with cold storage. Basically you keep your seed on paper (and may have to enter it on every boot); on the normal PC you run a wallet in view-only mode, but you need it to create and broadcast transactions; the Live Os you keep only to sign transactions.
Imho it's cheaper and safer than hardware wallet, but (much) less convenient.

And as long as you have the seed on paper you can break the USB stick, you can erase it, reinstall, update, ... just I'd start with wiping it and reinstall before attempting an update (wipe doesn't need internet, while update probably needs it).


Edit: if you go for Electrum, before using it, please read the posts about making sure you have the legit version.

Oh, good to know; well done. The UI shows only 3 active miners and no stats on when the last block was found. So people can assume the worse.
I think that'll be a good advertising to show more such info on the page.

Edit: also if it's PPS, people should know from the page!

First of all, thanks for the offer.

I think that the options greatly differs from person to person.
I read even when I commute - either bitcointalk, either news, either a book - on my phone. I find easier and faster to read myself. This way I can also skip the parts I find irrelevant (for me). So no, another text-to-speech (or whatever form) would not help me.

I even used to ask for the opposite: here and there some projects publish audio files with meetings, what is decided to do next, how the project is going and so on. Most of the time I don't get to listen to them, because I would be interested in some 10% of it and don't afford to listen 30-60 minutes for that. I asked a couple of times for transcripts, then I just gave up.

Nowadays, especially for English, people can have text to speech if they want it, on their phone, on their Windows (I think).. At least I seem to bump over that more than necessary 


TL;DR; For me it's not an useful feature/effort; thanks though.

Thank you. At least you didn't call me "moron" 


I don't think that this is an easy task. It's pretty unlikely to happen.


OK. Quite unlikely situations, but at least this makes sense.


Yup. OP has got some ideas in this thread and this is one important direction to take.

This is one of the things that makes you a good candidate. The other thing is that you are going to be merit source for normal (English) areas and Italian too.
You have my support.

That would be one great moment in history. I can't wait for it.
At that point the centralized exchanges will remain only a gateway for fiat, which I guess that DEXes will be unable to address.

From what I see, I think that you've imported ThomasV signature.

I don't know what you've done next. You should have then downloaded the installer and the signature for the installer (in https://electrum.org/#download at the right side of the installer).
Also you may have to make sure that the signature file ends with .asc, not with .asc.txt
And then decrypt/verify this signature file.

I've seen cameras where setting low ISO (100 or less) was basically impossible, so the noise was present whenever there was no perfect sunshine. I so don't remember what camera was that, but if I will remember I'll let you know.

And of course, there may be a "cultural difference" too in what cheap camera means 
What I mean is that Canon EOS 350D costed 999$ in 2005 and that doesn't make it cheap. I can even tell that my camera from 2005 (Sony DSC-H1) made cleaner pictures than my actual DSC HX-60 ; imho nowadays they sell high number of megapixels instead of better image processors.

I agree that the commercial exposure the image gets and the creativity are the most important.
However, I'd put the camera onto place #3 because many may prefer unedited photos and a bad camera can add noise into the photo which will make it undesirable.

I think that both are as bad as each other. Just the way this goes is way different.
Smoking is more bearable on long term and may or may not kill you.
Gambling addiction will most probably lead to financial problems which lead to personal problems, stress, depression and so on, which can (but not necessarily will) also kill you (and it's not only the case of suicide).

The interesting part is the "good things" related to these, the moments that can lead to addiction.
While gambling brings adrenaline, fun and with a little thinking can be done without getting into addiction, smoking gives you nothing at all. Some may say it is good against stress, but there are a ton of alternatives, some may say it's good for social acceptance, but imho if a group accepts you only if you smoke you may be way better without it on long term.

First of all, this question was answered before a good number of times. You should have been searching for the answer.

Now, the steps are described here: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/
Edit: this may also be of help: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5130429.0

Although your use case is highly improbable, there's counter measure for that too.
For example if you use Electrum, instead of pressing Send, you can press Preview and check there. Then Sign and Broadcast. If you go on this path there's no place they can change anything, no matter what.

Altcoins can be a good thing. They can be the training ground for new ideas, they can back interesting projects.
But right now they are out of hand. Too many worthless projects only live to create a bit of hype, get listed, drain some investors' money and die off.
It's not CMC. It's also the discussions and spam(!) associated with them (which they make for increasing awareness).

In certain limits it would have been healthy. But we are way beyond those limits.
Can we do anything to distinguish the completely irrelevant projects and stop them from getting listed at exchanges, from getting discussions around them on forums, reddit, twitter and so on? Not really. 


TL;DR: it's not healthy, but there's no solution against them either.

The reason is most probably not this, but some may think that the hype around Libra and the proposed regulations (of which some may affect Bitcoin too) may have made investors get out.

Imho the current state is simply speculation and I expect to see pretty soon a trend reversal.

Somehow everybody missed the part where I was telling about 3rd party custody wallets. Like Xapo, or exchanges...

Good luck double spending from there.

That's correct. And in the way I was "convinced" to do a real check on the recipient address, the wallets should do the same. It's not hard to make a window pop up and ask for double check start, middle and end. And the more advanced users can deactivate it.

The only place I've seen such behavior was when the "wallet" was a service owned by a partner company of the receiver.
But in theory if one knows that certain addresses belong to certain services (custodian wallets or maybe exchanges too), he can whitelist them and credit unconfirmed transactions, because those don't double spend transactions, the risk is much lower. Just... how to obtain such a list of addresses?

This volatility smells of manipulation. But you're right, I guess I linked these two too tight.
I'll correct the other post.


Nah. Bitcoin already taught me to never say never. You (and me) don't know what will happen in the future. At some point the exchanges may get more regulated and the levels of manipulation (and maybe volatility too) could decrease greatly.
But yeah.. "maybe", and "could", and "maybe in the future" are not useful now.

I CPU-mine for Monero now and then and one big problem is the minimum payout threshold the pools have. This can be solved indeed by using another altcoin, so I understand (partly) OP's logic in this. But maybe the user/miner should choose from a list of cheap altcoins for payments.

However, since the pool is too small, the payouts are too rare. I think that OP needs to attract a couple of bigger miners first, to have a hash rate that ensures real chances for at least one block per .. week(?).
What I mean is that no matter how small the miner is, he wants to see now and then that he indeed earned something, no matter how small value. .. and to have some certainty that he won't mine for days after days risking to get absolutely nothing.
