This is a good reference point especially for new investors who believe that it is a good idea to keep your money on exchanges. Exchanges should be used only for what the name suggests - the exchange of currency A to currency B and once that is done the money should be withdrawn to a safe device. For better visibility I am going to add the list of hacked exchanges so it's visible in this thread as well. I think it is important as there are many well known names in that list.

Maybe I'm missing something but why would anyone recommend a desktop wallet of any sort? It's not something I've ever considered for a second. Your online computer is a gaping hole waiting to be plundered. A Bitcoin wallet is just another program sitting on there ready to be ravaged. Using Electrum together with a Ledger or Trezor device is one reason. Electrum is much more user friendly compared to Leger Live for example. It has options that Ledger Live lacks such as RBF. And when you connect the two there is no need to input your seed so you are as safe as when using Ledger Live with your device.

To simplify this; a well know spammer/"almost scammer" has received a flag, and made some negative trust retaliation; which is quite useless, but has also been spamming threads created by people supporting the flag. Mods have deleted most/all of the spam replies, but that doesn't feel like enough (for many). Spamming is against the rules and that is why reported spam posts got deleted. Scams are not moderated and therefore mods wont ban scammers unless they broke some other rules in the process. Your suggestion of users coming together and 'arranging' for another user to be banned is not the way it should go and is pretty controversial. It is like oppressing a different view on things. The 30 of us 'arrange' for you to get banned because we don't like you even if you didn't break any rules. Like suchmoon said, if you don't like someone put him on ignore and don't talk to him. If he is a scammer open a thread in the appropriate section, post all the proof and have him tagged.

I will try to duplicate it in the indicated sub-forum, if the moderators approve it. No don't duplicate the thread, it is not allowed and it could be deleted by Mods if it gets reported. 12. No duplicate posting in multiple boards (except for re-posting it in the local language boards if it's translated). https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0Instead you can move the thread yourself to the appropriate board.

It's a nice move, but I think it's not enough. Italian football league have a deeper problem than a high tax on salaries. There are no attractive games, usually, they play too much defensive and it's not attractive for the audience. very few matches played where used is more than 60% of stadium capacity. I think English second league have more visitors than Serie A. Also corruption tendency and scandal like Calciopoli was not helping. Why will someone watch the game, where is already known the result. The problems with Italian football are present not just because of their defensive mentality. I don't think that mentality will ever change, that is what makes them what they are. The problems are in the infrastructure and the stadiums. Italian stadiums are old and unattractive. They look like huge concrete prisons and not a place where you want to bring your family to enjoy a football match. Italian clubs don't own their stadiums, except Juventus. They rent them from the city. Take a look at this, is this how a stadium should look? Then there is the problem with fake merchandise that is being sold close to the stadiums which is actually unbelievable in the first place. The President of Napoli talked about this when fans asked him why he doesn't invest more like Juventus does with Ronaldo. He told the fans they need to change their 'cheating' mentality and support the club instead. Stop manufacturing and distributing fake Napoli shirts and instead buy the official merchandise from the club. He also mentioned that Napoli fans are paying off the stewards who are checking the tickets to let them in for free. There are so many things that need to change for Italian football to again be competitive.

...but yes there is another way to get merit, ask anyone who has a lot beg for it maybe they can give you some That is not good advice and OP should not do that. He will not get merits by begging merit sources and might end up with a negative rating instead with a red text box saying 'Merit beggar'.

This forum has several 100.000s users, you want to suggest that someone should store personal information of alllll these members in a centralized way somewhere. What if the database gets hacked, who would be responsible in that case? It is too much of a responsibility for one person and it goes against the pillars of Satoshi's vision and general privacy.

People who earn 'easy money' from gambling don't value that money because they didn't have to work hard to earn it. They won it being lucky. That is why it is so easy for them to spend it, throw it away or gamble it. Those people who have to bust their asses to provide for their families value every single penny and they wont even try to gamble with it.

This should be moved to the Altcoin boards because it has nothing to do with Bitcoin. We can't help you here regarding your deposit. Best thing for you to do is either contact their support team from their official site or try and discuss the issue with one of their Telegram admins. This is their Telegram group as posted on the official site, contact them and explain your problem. https://t.me/bleutradeexchange

Having a copy of your wallet.dat should be the way to go but it doesn't hurt to write down your xpriv and keep a physical copy of it someplace safe. What if for some reason your wallet.dat malfunctions or the storage where you keep it. Note down your xpriv as well for to sleep safer

"Be your own bank" sounds nice again, in theory. But I've heard of more horror stories of people losing hundreds of thousands of USD because they somehow ended up in a situation where everything was either stolen or missing IRL - That is why you need to to take necessary precautions to avoid getting yourself in a situation where your funds are stolen. Be it paper wallets, hardware wallets or air gapped systems, whatever you are comfortable with. The #1 thing most people will tell you here is "Not Your Keys - Not Your Money! That means don't leave any money on exchanges no matter how trustworthy they are or seem to be. Different types of hacks have happened and can happen again in the future. There were also incidents like exit scams where an exchange would simply shut down, take the money and leave for good.

Most of these phishing incidents happen because of a compete lack of common sense. How people can believe that they can get free money in a few clicks of a button still surprises me. Obvious phishing such as bitcointalk.to (which I still click sometimes, because it is really identical to the original. You can modify your host file add the site to it and in that way block your computer from accessing it. Read about that here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5134015.0Or just use the site:bitcointalk.org method to display results only from bitcointalk.org

A crypto influencer is no different from those Instagram models advertising shoes, purses or underwear. If you pay them you will get your product advertised and that is it. It is a paid review and it shouldn't be looked at as a recommendation or investment advice.

Now if they sell
JR From what I have read Napoli is interested in a loan deal with an option to buy James at the end of next season while Real Madrid wants to sell him right away. That difference is the reason why the deal has not been finalized yet.

Also whenever i typed electrum in google, i dont think i ever seen any fake electrum wallets sites under google search on the 1st page... unless you are talking about those google ads where they list electrum wallet at the top which are most likely fakes? You don't see them because they get reported and then removed by Google. Never trust the AD results! Currently there are none for Electrum and lately they are hard to come by even for famous exchanges. In the past googling Electrum or Binance would show you an ad as well. The lack of crypto related ads is probably Google's way of fighting crypto.

I would never buy hardware wallet as second-hand device, and $25 or $30 is too cheap price which would be a clear sign that something is wrong. Also I did not think that price of Nano S is as above price, but as o_e_l_e_o say you should correct your price for that amount. I agree with this. The only way I would consider purchasing a second hand device is if I knew the seller personally. Either a friend or family member I trust. But I would still ask for proof where the was was purchased from. If he can prove that he bought it directly from the official source I could be tempted into purchasing it.

If you're truly worried that these old files could one day find their way into a capable hacker's hands, then why not just identify all your remaining assets, and sweep them ALL into a new wallet, and then you only store that? The OP is actually using Ledger Nano S. He has moved his assets there and is now asking what to do with the software wallets left on his system. OP isn't saying what exactly is bothering him and why he is so worried about deleting all traces of his old wallets since they are already empty.

The recommended fee at the moment for a relatively fast transaction is now between 5-10 Sat/Byte according to https://coinb.in/#feesIn the future you can use that as a reference when deciding what fees to enter. Unless there is a new and sudden jump in the price it might get confirmed by tomorrow morning.
