10882  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do "premium" or "pro" antivirus help on transactions on smartphones? on: March 02, 2019, 09:11:31 PM

No. Coinomi was just caught last week with a newbish mistake. Just google for: coinomi security flaw
A good smartphone wallet is Mycelium.
And yes, especially if you are not great at tech, a hardware wallet can be a savior.

I read about it.

But as I read, it was a desktop only flaw. They sent data to Google or something like that.

Yes mycelium is much better you are right

Hey Sir,
Can you suggest other wallet other than electrum..?
Wait.. how about on smartphones?

//thumbs-up to masters

I believe the best desktop wallet is Electrum. Bitcoin core is also a good option, but less intuitive imo

For smartphone I use coinomi, a multcurrency wallet.

The best is to buy a ledger nano or a Trezor (hardware wallets). They are not expensive and are simple to use and very safe


About phishing attacks you can use extensions like metamask that will alert you common phishing sites
10884  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to Send USDT without BTC as Miner Fee? on: March 02, 2019, 12:01:02 AM
There are erc20 tethers also. So if you want to save on fees, you could get the usdt erc20 token and you will pay some fees using Eth, but its much cheaper than btc

Almost nobody uses ERC20 version of USDT, believe me, Tongue

I believe. However there is no reason to consider it an inferior usdt version. It is worth the same as BTC tether and is backed by the same company. If you are worried about fees, it is a good option

Maybe you sent to the wrong address?
As it has already many confirmations, or you sent to the wrong address or you are having some problems with your wallet software
10886  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Guide] Factors to consider before joining paid signature campaigns. on: February 28, 2019, 07:12:09 PM
No doubt the number 1 you listed is the most important. Build your reputation here and build your account before applying.

This way you are also less likely to promote scam, as you will be worried about your reputation. Also, avoid newbies managing campaigns, as it will probably be a scammer.


There is one important thing also. When you join a campaign you will have incentives to post. This is somehow a problem, because it's hard to post a lot.

One good thing I try to do is to read more than I write. This way I keep updated and have more things to write.
10887  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do "premium" or "pro" antivirus help on transactions on smartphones? on: February 28, 2019, 02:29:15 PM
To name a few,

avast, bitdefender, mcaffe, ... etc..

As the subject says. do they really provide enough security with transactions especially in crypto?

 no.

If you use a hardware wallet for example, you don't necessarily need to use a paid antivirus software. The hardware wallet is quite secure by itself, and a free malware bytes and a windows defender software or something like that is enough.

If you use a desktop wallet, such as Electrum, the most important is to avoid phishing sites. Avoid installing program from Unknown sources... You need healthy habits online to stay safe.

Look for the official website to install the wallet, never download from third party websites

I think those paid antivirus consume too much computer resources and I don't like them.
10888  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrencies: a middle-ground between libertarian capitalism and communi on: February 28, 2019, 02:22:21 PM
Sorry but I don't see anything related to socialism policies in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is 100% libertarian, from the cypher punk movement.

Socialism is about empowering the government to control the whole economy and make it "better than free market". That's exactly the opposite of what cypher punk movement and Bitcoin is doing

They are claimable! And that is what everybody is asking Craig S. Wright to prove. If the real Satoshi still have his private keys, then he could possibly access these donations. However, the first 50 BTC cannot be spent due to the Bitcoin original code.

Faketoshi will not be claiming anything. I don't get why people don't just ignore that psychotic lier.

I believe Satoshi made this on purpose so that nobody would ever be able to claim to be Satoshi, not even himself.
This will provide some kind of decentralization, as nobody is the creator
10890  Other / Ivory Tower / Re: Our capitalist minds don't let us evolve. on: February 28, 2019, 12:28:31 PM
I think capitalism allow and somehow encourage people to evolve in certain aspects of live. (Like material and educational). Spiritual evolution (or whatever you call it) is not related to how the government and the economy are organized imo.

Previous systems like feudalism were much less encouraging. Most of people couldn't change their status in life. The richest countries today are the ones who moved from feudalism to capitalist systems.

Socialism is also not encouraging any evolution, as people doesn't have incentives to do so. Just take a look at Russia, China, North Korea , Venezuela, and compare to capitalist countries like USA, England, Australia, Germany. Where does citizens have more freedom and will to evolve?

So, I believe capitalism is the least worse system.

Nova pergunta.

Como funciona um bitcoin Mixer? Quando surgiu o primeiro?
10892  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Coinomi wallet sends your plain text seed phrase to Google on: February 27, 2019, 10:13:31 PM
It's one of the few non open source ones out there and this proves why it's a bad idea.

This is true

I don't get why those companies insist in making closed source wallets.

I am glad this is a desktop only issue, as I am using it on Mobile. Desktop version is quite new, so this will probably be fixed
10893  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Help to Recover Blockchain.info Wallet on: February 27, 2019, 06:18:37 PM
I dont have email address, wallet ID or any other information.

So the wallet isn't yours, you just found it and try your luck by accessing it? This is what I get from your story so I'm sorry if you got offended.

This really looks like to be the case.

If the wallet is his, he could easily click forget password and go on.

He just found some random file that looks connected to the wallet and now he wants to get some money from it.

Anyway, I don't think that file is enough.

Maybe some part of the payload or whatever he has is the wallet id, but he needs the password to use it.
10894  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there a bright future in the DAG currency? on: February 27, 2019, 04:51:20 PM
Dag is an interesting concept, but different from the blockchain.

For iota, it's important because iota needs free and fast transactions for IoT stuff. Not every project need these attributes, so you don't necessarily need a dag protocol for everything
10895  Economy / Economics / Re: Are off shore bank accounts worth it? (US citizens) on: February 27, 2019, 04:41:27 PM
As far as I know, off shore bank accounts are expensive. You need to pay high bank fees.

Hey are worth if you have a big amount of money, so you can save on taxes.
10896  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Coinomi wallet sends your plain text seed phrase to Google on: February 27, 2019, 12:30:04 PM
Thanks for sharing this

I use coinomi for years. I really like that wallet, as it is easy to use and I consider it safe (but I just keep small amounts of money there). Usually I put at the most the value of my smartphone in a mobile wallet.

It's practical and the UI is very good. Easy to set fees , add any token or and most of coins, etc...

I will look for more information about this incident, and I will consider moving my funds somewhere else.
10897  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to Send USDT without BTC as Miner Fee? on: February 26, 2019, 03:51:58 PM

10898  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano S Vs Trezor on: February 26, 2019, 12:16:19 PM
Ledger absolutely supports those things. I know because I am currently using them.

With Ledger, you can set up not only one passphrase, but as many passphrases as you want, to hide as many different wallets as you want. Each of those accounts will be completely hidden unless you know the passphrase, allowing for plausible deniability. There are set up instructions here: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005214529

Ledger nano also support "hidden wallet " feature. You can set a second pin which will have a different seed.

So in case someone is physically forcing you to send your coins to him, you can unlock your second wallet and give you just a small part of your holdings.

https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005214529-Advanced-passphrase-security
Quote

Plausible deniability

To protect yourself in case of physical threat, make sure your primary PIN code unlocks only a minor part of your crypto assets. Then set up a passphrase attached to a PIN code and store more significant amount of crypto assets on the passphrase-protected accounts.

If you are under duress to unlock your Ledger Nano S, you can surrender your main PIN code to the attacker while hiding the PIN code that unlocks your passphrase-protected accounts.
10899  Economy / Economics / Vitalik buterin suggests ripple is better than BTC. on: February 25, 2019, 10:08:17 PM
In a discussion about BTC, Vitalik buterin just said xrpp is better than BTC.

https://mobile.twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1099497025748398080


I think this is interesting, as many people keep saying ripple is a centralized shitcoin,etc, while it is not a shitcoin. On the other hand, it shows how Vitalik is not anymore that guy who would like to decentralize everything.
10900  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: need to post instructions according to the rules on: February 25, 2019, 03:51:47 PM
People already gave you all information you needed to find the rules.

What I can add, is my experience. I was worried about forum rules when I joined, because I saw lots of people talking about them, about banning etc..

But later on I discovered that the rules are used to fight spammers and bad actors. If you are a legit user trying to promote your legit service, you are good to go. Read the rules , follow them, but relax , as you are not going to have problems if you are not trying to cheat the forum .
