121  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: What needs to be improved or added to your preferred BTC Wallet? on: March 15, 2024, 10:56:38 PM
What I'd add to Electrum (which I think is impossible to happen, as the devs have no interest in this at all) is support for address types all in the same wallet (just like in Bitcoin Core).
If you were referring to generating various types of addresses within a wallet, I agree, but it's worth mentioning that importing the private keys of these addresses while specifying their script types could also count as some kind of support for the above thing.

Another thing I'd add to Electrum is the function of importing private key directly into a standard wallet, so the imported key would be saved in the same electrum wallet file (not from the same seed!), just like in bitcoin core, I think There is no need to create a new import wallet file just for this.
You have a point, but perhaps the developers wanted to separate the less-secured ones from the rest.

Others take a screen shot of it.
Good thing that you mentioned this... I'm quite disappointed to see some Android wallets seem to have no protection against taking screenshots on their seed creation pages!

Admit it, you were all waiting for this (to buy), right? Smiley
To some extent, yes, but not for that reason Tongue

It's interesting that I couldn't find any information about source code, but it can be found on their github page:
https://github.com/proto-at-block/bitkey
If you were referring to the content of their homepage, then perhaps it has something to do with the first bullet point in their "Notes" section:
- IIRC, the server code had something to do with one of the keys, so I guess that counts as not being fully open-source!

  • This document (including Software and schematics) is current as of 2024-02-22. Our goal is to make sure the code we publish is up to date with what is available in the App Store. We may publish other items on a less real time basis (e.g. server code and schematics) and so what is published may not always map to what is in production or design.

the function is different in Mycelium it is CPFP but for Electrum it is RBF.
Am I correct in assuming that you were referring to the Android version of Electrum [the latter has both of these bump fee features on its desktop version]?
- I find it strange that users don't get the same set of features on all of the platforms!

@Forsyth Jones
  • For Electrum, I'd add Taproot support [for some reason, they hate it when someone asks them about it], custom entropy and spaced address displays.
  • For Stack Wallet, I'd add PSBTs, RBF, CPFP, custom entropy, Taproot, and spaced addresses.
    - I hope they'll improve its custom node implementation (last time I checked, it was quite buggy).

Yea its weird, however, Coinmarketcap shows the same countdown as we do.
Indeed it is, but CMC was also part of the other halving countdowns that I checked yesterday and I just double-checked [it's still showing a different countdown to yours]: Screenshot
- Perhaps the device you're checking it from is suffering from synchronization issues.
125  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Foundation Passport Official Thread on: March 12, 2024, 03:34:30 PM
We can’t wait to hear your feedback on our new site!
I love its minimalistic approach and the dark mode feature is the icing on the cake Smiley

We have a HUGE week of giveaways, games, and celebrations planned for this week,
IMO, these kind of games deserve having a dedicated thread: 1 MILLION SATS hunt
- I think I've found three of them so far (please don't make them harder) Grin

BTW, I'm curious if anyone from the Philippines has tried applying to become an official reseller...
126  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: 📖 BLOCKXS.COM - CRYPTO WEBSITE DIRECTORY on: March 12, 2024, 12:51:29 PM
I'm not sure if this was just a mistake or if the above inaccurate data was taken from an outdated source, but it's worth noting that all of the other halving countdowns are showing almost a week more than that.
- I do know it's just a rough estimate, but still...

BTW, the following subreddits might be useful for the Reddit category:

- r/BitcoinMining
- r/Jobs4Bitcoins
127  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: NGRAVE hardware wallet? on: March 09, 2024, 12:16:45 PM
NOT asking if you particularly have one, just opinions on if its the best hardware wallet.
If you were referring to some of the review platforms that rated this hardware wallet as the "best" due to its so-called highest security certificate, it's important to note that this information is misleading [the EAL7 is for their firmware (AFAIK, none of the other brands have requested their firmware to be graded) while their secure element has a grading of EAL5+ (it's worth noting that there are other hardware wallets with higher secure element gradings)] and there must be a reason why after three years, they still haven't released the source code [despite saying they will in numerous occasions]!
128  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: BitBox02 Experiences on: March 09, 2024, 10:10:37 AM
Hm.  I'm puzzled as to why anyone who'd get a HW wallet would also sign up for insurance like that, especially when it requires all sorts of personal information.
Their target audience is only those who have invested a significant amount without having the proper knowledge of protecting their assets [these are the type of people who only care about results, so they tend to throw away money for any type of protection (even if the trade-off is between convenience and privacy)].

  • It's quite frustrating to see BitBox and some of the other known brands have chosen the route of offering solutions that rub more salt into the wound!

And I have to say that when it comes to wallets--from software ones to hardware--the simpler, the better.
I completely agree with the above line [If it doesn't mean sacrificing some of the necessary features].
129  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Unnecessary na pagpapalit ng transaction fee on: March 08, 2024, 06:19:38 PM
kaya yun same process ginamitan ko sya ng RBF sa mas mataas na fee at yun na confrimed na sya kinabukasan sa 35sats na fee.
Base sa mga screenshots na napost mo kanina, mukhang Mycelium ang ginagamit mo kabayan at last time I checked, wala pa itong RBF feature [CPFP lang ang meron sa Mycelium].
- Usually, mas malaking fee ang binabayad natin sa CPFP dahil kailangan good enough ang Tx fee natin for two transactions (parent and child Txs).
130  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Philippines SEC will Ban Binance. Effectivity End of Feb. 2024 on: March 08, 2024, 02:30:08 PM
Looks like na delay ang ban ng binance dahil sa in-between na discussion ng binance at SEC PH.
Sa mga nababasa ko kabayan, parang wala namang discussions sa pagitan ng Binance at SEC [internal discussions lang ang ginagawa ni SEC tungkol sa Binance] at considering na mukhang hindi pala kailangan ng court order ang NTC para iblock nila ang mga ganitong platforms [credit goes to BitPinas (e.g. OctaFX)], it could be just a matter of time bago mangyari ang ban na ito.
131  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Anong hardware wallet ang mairerecommend nyo ngayon? on: March 08, 2024, 12:34:02 PM
10 years ago na pala nang ma launch yang Model One noh,
Yes, unang hardware wallet sa buong mundo...

Bakit kaya mas mahal yung Model T sa Safe 3, dahil ba  sa touch screen yung previous model?
Yes, pero nagko-contribute din ang mga sumusunod na bagay sa presyo nito:

  • Higher screen resolution
  • Colored LCD screen
    - Kahit medyo luma na ang LCD displays, mas durable (in general) pa rin sila compared sa OLED displays.
  • More cryptocurrency support
  • MicroSD card PIN encryption

featue na Secure Element Protection, ano ibig sabihin niyan? Kumbaga sa security parang 2FA or another layer of protection?
Basically, it's another layer of protection: Secure Element in Trezor Safe 3

Sakin kasi nag burn yung lcd screen kaya hindi na kita yung screen. Useless na since hindi mo maenter yung pincode.

132  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Crypto Vending Machine on: March 06, 2024, 06:00:53 PM
Kaya hindi talaga siya practical ngayon dahil alam naman natin na kapapasok lang natin sa minor bull run dahil sa halving na paparating 2 months from now.
Sang ayon din ako sa sinabi mo kabayan... Sa tingin ko the only way para maging sucessful itong crypto vending machine sa Pinas is if nagbigay din ito ng five to ten percent cashback sa mga gagamit nito.
- Sa pagkakaalam ko, wala pang ganitong feature sa vending machine nila.

Only one acceleration per account still beats being overrun by Ordinal spammers who make it impossible to use.
You have a point, but the rate at which these restrictions are being introduced in such a short period is a clear indication that sooner or later, there'll be no free accelerators left [I hope I'm wrong].

I am curious to know whether an account is allocated one lifetime free transaction, or is it reset after a specific period of time?
I can happily confirm that after four days, I was able to accelerate another transaction from my main account [I didn't check on the third day, so that might be the limit].
134  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: 52 Hardware Wallets, compared feature by feature on: March 06, 2024, 01:04:48 PM
Thanks for the feedback. I couldn't reproduce it, but probably the amount of data in the table is starting to be huge, mainly on the hardware wallets screen. I am planning to implement any kind of pagination, so the website can support more items.
You're very welcome Smiley I'm not sure what you did yesterday, but I'm no longer experiencing the issue in question [the lag used to be around the header area only], so perhaps there's no need for the above implementation yet [the current one-page design is great for using the Ctrl + F].

That is true, but most modern smartphones have NFC this days, even cheap models.
You're right [it could be an option for a lot of users], but as someone who only uses extreme/tough rugged phone cases, I prefer not to remove my phone case to have a smooth experience with a hardware wallet [I had a lot of bad experiences for changing such phone cases in the past (e.g. Breaking the phone case or chipping a small part of my previous phones)].

Nice find!
I will try it later to confirm if it works,
Thank you... For some reason, I can't find a way to manually enter any discount codes [quite weird], and despite seeing on the cart page that "discounts are calculated at checkout", the following discount link didn't have any impact on the price:

Code:
https://store.twenty-two.xyz/discount/LOSTEMPIRE
135  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: 52 Hardware Wallets, compared feature by feature on: March 05, 2024, 02:53:07 PM
and it is connected with smartphone via NFC connection.
Unfortunately, that also means it's not going to work with certain types of phone cases.

Portal is currently being offered as pre-sale for €89
There's a 22% discount code [LOSTEMPIRE] for those who might be interested in purchasing this product.

I added Portal hardware wallet to the website.
Did you make any other changes to the tables [specifically hardware and software tables]? For some reason, it keeps lagging when I try to scroll down from the very top section in Google Chrome [I couldn't replicate it in Tor, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browsers].

136  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Nano Ledger S Plus Firmware and Ledger Live Update? on: March 05, 2024, 01:02:32 PM
So there would be no issue still using the nano ledger s plus as is right?
I'm not sure if you've already updated the firmware to v1.1.0 or if you're still using v1.0.4 and below firmware, but the only thing that v1.1.1 brought was giving Nano S Plus users the option to use their controversial/questionable ledger recover, so you can peacefully continue to use the previous firmware version.
137  Economy / Goods / Re: Original Pieces of Art for Sale on: March 04, 2024, 04:20:55 PM
would love to have some feedback on where and how we can sell this art! We can shcedule a videocall so you can see the pieces live.
Honestly, all of them appear to be rendered images, so the first thing that you should do is replace them with actual photos of the paintings in question while also making sure that there's a handwritten note that contains your forum name with the date [on each of those pictures].

You might want to also mention if you're willing to use escrow services from this forum:

Apart from this forum, you can try your luck in the following places:
Note: I prefer not to vouch, so DYOR!

138  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Anong hardware wallet ang mairerecommend nyo ngayon? on: March 04, 2024, 02:03:32 PM
Anong hardware wallet ang mairerecommend na gamitin ngayon especially sa mga kasalukuyang gumagamit nito?
Trezor Model One user ako at so far, maganda ang overall experience ko, pero it's worth mentioning na lately, hindi na sila nagrerelease ng firmware updates para sa model na ito, so mukhang malapit na ma-phase out kaya I'd recommend to go with Trezor Safe 3 [ito ang latest product nila at may secure element na sya].

Ano mga dapat tandaan bago at sa pagbili ng hardware wallet?
Dapat Open-source yung hardware wallet at may secure element.
- Mas maganda kung may mga reproducible builds ito.

So san kayo nakabili?
Sa isa sa mga official resellers nila.

Ano price range ng mga hardware wallets?
$30 to $300.

di ko pa kasi alam mga officail websites nila, research ko muna.
Refer to this table kabayan [under company section]: Hardware wallets

Siguro ok na sakin yang Model T kung sakali, wala naman na kasi akong mga altcoins sa ngayon, Bitcoin na lang.
Kung ako sa iyo, magbabayad ako ng $20 more para sa Passport Batch 2 [by foundation devices].
139  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Product feedback for new Hardcore Wallet on: March 03, 2024, 06:07:38 PM
We want bitcoin to be easy to use for anyone.  Turn it on, create a password, save your seed phrase and send and receive Bitcoin.
I hope its user-friendly design won't come at the cost of leaving a more robust prototype on the shelf... Would you mind sharing some of its security features?

2. We are hoping to sell the base model between $300 and $350 US and the 2TB version for $450.
Are there any other differences other than their storage capacities?
140  Economy / Exchanges / Re: eXch - instant exchange BTC / LN / XMR / LTC / ETH / ERC20 on: March 03, 2024, 01:45:57 PM
Here's my brief review of eXch:

The very first thing that I noticed was its minimum limits being so low that it makes it the best [and probably the only] option for those who want to exchange smaller amounts, so I used a small amount to pay for a monthly subscription [I do know it's the opposite of what we normally recommend to newcomers, but I wanted to see how they'd respond if I encounter a problem (FWIW, everything was buttery smooth)]... My exchange involved sending Bitcoin and receiving Monero, so I was expecting some delays due to full confirmations of the UTXOs from previous orders but to my surprise, a few seconds before mempool.space displaying the next block on their website, eXch already had sent the transaction from their end [I probably got lucky with little to no backlog, but still...].

Out of curiosity, is the 15-second auto refresh still accurate or there has been some changes that don't reflect on the order page?

  • I noticed the confirmations shown on my order page were a confirmation behind, in comparison to what was being shown at the time on blockchair [screenshot].
    Note: I did check the status of your XMR node and it was displaying the correct block height at that time.
