It only appears under Human interface devices after its unlocked by the PIN and the Bitcoin wallet selected (on the ledger device).

I was using merit also as a bookmark tool.
When I saw a good comment which I would like to come back in the future, I was meriting them
This way I could easily check them back in my merit history.
But merit history is going to be wiped after 120 days. Is this really necessary? I wish merit history was like the blockchain, forever recorded .
I know Dmrdmr save merit history in google sheets, which could be accessed, but I would prefer to access the merit history here.

Thank you for the reply.
So there seems to be danger in just accepting the given wallet address!
The danger is that you may have misspelled some word. Or, if you didn't bought from official retailer, someone could have hacked it. The best is to always update its firmware first, create a new wallet, reset it and restore it (to see if you can restore it, if you have the right seed). |

lol that was very crazy.
People don't even try to use google to see if they are doing something wrong. Or read the replies to their posts..

The forum main purpose is not fighting spammers.
This is a place where newbies are welcome and they can find a community to help them, answer their questions and help them to discover bitcoin.
I started posting here when I needed to clear a doubt about btc . I needed to create a topic for that. then I discovered how nice his place was and became a member.
Shitposting is a problem, but the forum is still working. Your solution would take out an important functionality from the forum.

Hi Guys,
The Federal Reserve has increased interest rates, The European Central Bank will stop QE, it seems the occidental economy is starting to grow.
Will it benfit the cryptocurrency market in his whole or it will drain money from it toward classic investments?
what do you guys think about it?
What's your opinion/analysis?
Increased interest rates do not make economy grow, as higher interest rates encourage people to lend money. At the same time, they make it difficult for entrepreneurs to borrow money. When it´s hard to borrow money to make your own business the economy does not grow. Usually government increases interest rates to reduce inflation rates and to attract money to the country. This is why dollar is on a bull run, because everyone is buying dollar so they can invest in the US at high interest rates. There is no reason to invest in high risk countries, unless they increase even more their interest rates. I think this higher interest rate may have a negative effect on crypto (not much) and a negative effect in stock market. This is may be good opportunity to bonds in the US, so smart money may go that way. actually an increasing of inflation is caused most of the time by an increasing of demand on supply in goods markets (due not only by money supply factors)... central banks keept low interest rates in order to encouraging money lending from banks to entrepeneurs... another thing: people don't lend money, they borrow money... banks lend money at higher interest rate of FED funds... we're talking about the same thing from a different point of view!! anyway you're pretty right about investors buying dollars in order to buy securities and government bonds that have an higher interest rate now, this will lower the price of these asset then!! and risk countries have an higher interest rates because they are risky, not only because of monetary policies. I know this topic is a lot more complex, I just cannot cover it all on a 300 characters post lol people write books about it. I just said the basic to show that economy is now growing because interest rates are increasing. In fact that is mostly the opposite in most cases. |

Need some help. I want to move some BTC from a paper wallet to a Ledger Nano S.
I have only recently set the Ledger up so dont know whether I can directly do it.
Do I have to go to something like Electrum?
Replies are much appreciated
Be very careful if transfering high amounts. 1 - Reset your nano. 2 - Update the firmware. 3- Create a new PIN and set of words. 4- Download Electrum or Chrome Apps 5- Check the public address. 6- Reset your nano again (3 times incorrect PIN) 7- Insert your set of words and restore your wallet 8- Check if your public address is the same. 9- If the same, you are free to go. |

I am still confused about this stealth address. I can generate a new address for a payment, and then I will have total price on that transaction. If for any reason I want to have privacy over the future transactions of that uotx, I could use a coinmix service. Is there any advantage of using an stealth address over his method? Maybe convenience, if there is an easy client to handle stealth address? +1 merit for pugman, for the best question so far.  |

Have you set up the Ledger yet? The device configuration and setup happens completely on the device itself and does not require a computer or any interaction with a computer.
It only needs some power source from the usd cable. This source is usually a computer, but can be a smartphone too or anything else with a usb or similar connection. |

I am configuring a new Ledger Nano S.
When I connect the Ledger to my laptop after installing the 2 Chrome extensions, Ledger Manager and Ledger Wallet Bitcoin, nothing happens.
But the extensions open when connected to another computer.
I have contacted Ledger support. As per their instructions:
I have disabled cookies.
Disabled Anti-virus, Vpn and firewall.
No change.
Appreciate your ideas.
Do the following steps (it´s a bit tricky) 1- Connect ledger nano. 2- Open app Ledger Wallet Bitcoin 3- Unlock with your PIN 4- Select Bitcoin in your ledger nano.5- The app will unlock The app will open only when you click bitcoin wallet in ledger nano. If that doen't work, try to swift 2-3 steps. The most important is that you click on BITCOIN using your ledger nano while the Bitcoin Wallet App is running. Personally, I think electrum is a better client than chrome app. It works very well with ledger nano, try it. It has an option to open a hardware wallet. Better for advanced users. https://electrum.org/#download |

Make sure your address is truly generated randomly. /thread.
Yes, this is the most important. A private key is just a random generated number. This number is then hashed using SHA256. But you can hash words, phrases, small numbers and this will generate valid private keys. Just put these hashes in bitaddress.org and you will get the public keys too. If you want to find a collision, the best way is to try to find poorly generated private keys. If you try to hash some words like "wallet" "satoshi" "bitcoin" you will find some addresses which doesn't have balances now, but they used to have. I tried many already, but manually. Never had any luck. Maybe if you can make a program that can try millions of inputs per second, hash those inputs and check the balance of them, you may have some luck. You will only find poorly generated private keys this way. Edit: I read a post by butka few months ago about this, couldn´t find it now |

Most probably in this section are users that are interested mostly in Economics, so I want to know why Economics attracts you?
To have better understanding about cryptocurrencies you should study economics. Even to understand the news and politics. I am not an economist, but I have studied a bit. Especially personal finances which is very useful for anyone who works and earn some money |

Bitcoin is a long term investment. If you are worried about the price, you are overinvested and you will make bad decisions.
Early adopters who made lots of money were those who bought and didn't expect short term gains.
Bitcoin fundamentals are the same now as they were when Bitcoin was 3k, 20k and now. Hodl and wait a few years

These are normal things, part of the normal market cycles, so you should blame no one. That being said, no doubt there are big players on the market affecting some of these price changes of Bitcoin. As for Theter, I'm also not surprised. The researchers from the first linked article managed to find correlation between Tether issuance and the upward movement of bitcoin price. So this suggests that USDT was being used to buy cheap BTC and thereby pump the price of BTC as a result of their actions. I doubt that the real HODLers are in the decline though.
No regulation has its disadvantages, such as this Tether and Bitfinex price manipulations. THe market still needs to mature a lot. Cryptocurrencies are a long term investment. We still need some regulation, better and safer wallets for newbies, better exchanges. Also the technology itself still has a lot to develop. It´s hard but I am trying not to look to much at the prices. |

Infelizmente deu azar, 6 meses voce pegou o topo historico do BTC seguido do ano de baixa que está sendo 2018 até então.
Ha meio de ganhar com a queda, que seria abrir operaçoes de short, mas igualmente arriscado para novatos que nao entendem muito bem o que estao fazendo.
Olha, eu acho que é melhor entrar no mercado em queda. É bom comprar barato ue. Se a pessoa está acumulando, o melhor que pode acontecer é cair pra pessoa que esta comecando comprar barato. Quando eu comecei a comprar só subia. Eu queria comprar, mas todo dia que eu olhava tava subindo 10%. Dai eu me desesperava e pensava "vai cair, nao é possivel". E so subia subia subia... comprei a todos os precos. Dai finalmente veio uma correcao, coloquei tudo q eu podia ter colocado. Mas o que eu mais desejava quando descobri o bitcoin foi um mercado assim como temos hoje. Coragem. É sempre dificil comprar btc. Subindo ou descendo. |

Windows Defender alone is not enough. You need to use Windows Defender (antivirus) and Malware Bytes (anti malware/spyware) at least. They are a simple combo which will deal with most threats. However, you need to be careful with your habits online. Avoid downloading piracy products from shady websites. Avoid these adult videos websites which are full of virus. Avoid to download cracks for software. If you download something suspicious, sent it to https://www.virustotal.com, which will scan your file, before opening. Also, get a hardware wallet if you store coins in your daily computer. |
