If you have an extra laptop or PC you can run Bitcoin Core offline(Not full node) and never connect it to the internet and be safe from any attack online and let your current Bitcoin Core full node and use it as your watch-only wallet.

For me, its a way safer but it's a bit technical when making a transaction compared to when you use a hardware wallet directly to your full node. Trezor is a good option as suggested above because it supports multiple coins but if you only want to save BTC then an offline or cold storage wallet is enough.

EMC2 is altcoin or token this is not the right place to talk about this.

I suggest only use a wallet that support this coin since you mention Electrum it doesn't support other coin than Bitcoin so if you have a backup seed phrase or key to recover your wallet you should be able to recover your wallet by importing it to a wallet the supports this coin.

I research a bit and it seems Coinomi support this coin if you have a backup key you can import it to coinomi wallet.

He was just pointing to privacy which is a good way to prevent someone from tracking our Bitcoin but the problem is all addresses that we use in the signature campaign are always public there's no way right now to make our BTC private because we already posted our BTC address here on the forum and all transaction are recorded on the blockchain even we keep changing our BTC to any signature campaign it's still public unless if we sent the BTC to other address which they don't know if we own that address where it sent to.

It's impossible to happen on Electrum it doesn't have a feature the same as Samourai.

Electrum does not have any tools that can be use for money laundering and we're using it as alternative lite wallet because Bitcoin Core needs more resources than Electrum.

The government only seeks for wallets or services that can be used for money laundering maybe Sparrow and Wasabi both of them have the same features as Samourai.

For other assets I don't think you can do that in trezor only 4 thirdparty wallets are supported check the link below

- https://trezor.io/learn/a/third-party-apps-and-trezor

Exodus have multiple coins and token supported but it does not have multisig feature but Electrum it does but it only support Bitcoin.

For Electrum multisig guide trezor already have a video guide about this check the link below.

- https://trezor.io/learn/a/what-is-multisig

So you don't have any choice but to use multisig only for Bitcoin and use single key for other coins.

Would you mind to check those components that you pointed to if the only burnt part is the capacitor you can just remove it and it should work just fine.
To make sure that the capacitor is shorted is by using a multimeter to test if it is shorted with the ground remove it and try to run the unit but the image is not clear is the IC and diode burnt?

Well we're not a developer but if you check their Github page it seems most of the developers agree that their source code  is safe so that's the only thing we sure that Trezor is safe.
If there's someone who keeps posting on their GitHub page that it has spyware or any fraud codes inside then Im sure this news will spread immediately here on the forum and into crypto community but no reports that Trezor can retrieve your wallet seed backup.

Why not only run this hardware wallet on offline devices or cold storage since it's allowed to make a raw transaction from an online device to an offline device and only connect your Trezor to offline device for signing a transaction.

Non-custodial should be one of the wallets you looking for.  You can use Electrum for BTC if you want full control, it also have a multisig function and for other coins and tokens I think hardware wallet is the best option than using other wallet you don't need to worry about using hardware wallets even if they are not operating or they closed their business just make sure choose a hardware wallet that generates a seed phrase backup because that's the only backup you need to recover your wallet to other wallets in case the hardware wallet is no longer working.

And take note of the multi-sig wallet it is not good to use on a daily basis because of the transaction fee.

Now we see MTmax on the middle drop a lot from 116c down to 78c which is a big improvement after taking the original fan back to the unit.

Why not build something like noise reduction if you can't handle the noise for long? or soundproof box you can DIY for this unit if you want to reduce the unit noise.
Check a sample from the link below.

It could possibly be the next target to be seized by the government and other wallets with the same feature.
The only wallets that I know with the same feature that are currently not being seized by the government are Sparrow and Wasabi.

It seems the government wants to seize all services that have this feature and no more privacy.

I do not think this is the right board for this topic it would be better if you bring this discussion under altcoin discussion to get a better response.

Since most of people use USDT and it is widely used so why not accept USDT instead of the US dollar because it is easier to transfer than accepting a US dollar? The only risk is how you protect your wallet from hackers I don't think there is an issue with Depeg?

There was a hack that happened I think last 2015 about USDT that made developers push to make a hard fork USDT to make the stolen USDT unspendable. I don't see any other risk of accepting USDT.

Your choice is pretty expensive you didn't include the cheaper GPU like RTX 4070 super which is cheaper and has less power consumption I won't go with 4090s as you can see it consume much power. If the power rate in your country is a bit expensive the wise option is RTX 4070 super and you can optimize it for power efficiency.

I don't think it's a negative aspect of Bitcoin look at those people who use PayPal many people are being scammed with cashback and they never solved this case until now and many users and small merchants or sellers who accept PayPal as payment are always victims with cashback.

It is a pretty bad idea to make Bitcoin the same as Paypal I am fine with Bitcoin except for current network congestion.

I think the reason behind about this is many people wants to be part of the blockhalving history and there is a runes currently minting on the Bitcoin blockchain which is I think the reason why the transaction fee keeps increasing it almost 2 weeks when the transaction fee is high before block halving and now after block halving the fees is pretty expensive retailers or smallholders can't able to make a transaction due to fees which is higher than the amount they want to send.

There's no choice but to wait or if I'm lucky enough to see a free submission on ViaBTC I will include it right away before it becomes 0.



It is more likely a plan or a manipulation to me which is why there are runes or inscription minting nowadays is to keep the Bitcoin price at the current level this is just my prediction they use it to congest the network so that people can't sell their BTC while block halving remember the recent bearish last week that keeps all crypto collapse during that week and suddenly transaction fees gradually increasing before block halving? People panic to sell so they use runes and inscriptions to keep the network congested and to avoid retailers and holders selling their coins. What do you think?

The network is very congested every few hours the transactions increase it seems I can't make any transactions today with Bitcoin.

It seems there's no chance to make a transaction today with less fee or a transaction with enough fee that we can submit on Viabtc but the problem is I've waited for almost 6 hours but no available free submissions on ViaBTC it seems there are many users are waiting for free submission? or they temporarily remove the available free submission what do you think?

Well, I just heard it on Reddit before and from -ck quoted below

You cant find the transaction tab in preferences even in view settings you can't find it because it never existed what you looking for is the history tab there is no way to enable or disable this tab because its enabled by default. That is where you can find the transaction under the history tab and by clicking or right-clicking the transaction that is where you can find the "replace by fee".

If I'm wrong why not take a screenshot of your current wallet and let's see why you can't find all transactions?

Just translated what you are trying to say like the above said you can use Electrum just make a new wallet on Electrum and send all of your BTC from your segwit wallet to Electrum.

And I never heard of any Bitcoin wallet that doesn't accept BTC from a segwit address you should be able to receive it from any wallet.
Also, take note of the current network this is not a good time to make a transaction because the transaction fee is very expensive due to network congestion.

I don't think they panicked to sell maybe last week when bearish but right now the market looks pretty stable at around 64k.
And about the fees it is due to runes currently in the minting process which is why the transaction fees are still expensive maybe once most of the runes are done in the minting process, we should see the transaction fees would go back to normal.

DCA is a good practice for spot trading and hold it until we see the $100k level let's hope to see this price in  November or December.

Would you mind trying to factory reset the unit by holding the reset/ip report button for 5 seconds then release if successful then setup the unit and test it again.

If still didn't work I found someone who has similar logs and he fixed the issue by flashing the unit again check the link below
