That doesn't sound like me.

He purchased a total of 313.63 CTSI in trading pair of BTC/CTSI at an initial price of 0.00044BTC
Consider my account compromised if I start buying shitcoins.

Have you ever considered purchasing several hardware wallets (e.g. a Ledger S), initializing them with the same seed and storing them in different places (parents, a bank safe deposit box, ...)?
No.

Quote
I would have no problem if the ledger should fall into the hands of someone else, I think it is impossible to guess the pin.
I would prefer a BIP38 encrypted paper wallet if I have to store it in different locations. I don't really dare do it (and certainly won't recommend it), but even if you post the encrypted private key, it's quite safe with a decent password.

Would you help me? I've been coding and trying to figure out ways to scrape all comments in all threads yet I keep encountering bugs with my code (python).
I did scrape all posts already (but didn't keep track of the board), so it would be a waste of forum bandwidth to do it again. I know nothing about Python though.
What are you trying to accomplish?
14145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Aug 2020] Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! on: August 06, 2020, 07:50:52 AM
Just now, my friend was about to transfer 0.0015 on my wallet but he can't due to high Miner's fee (254% of the amount to be transferred),...
Your friend (whom you trust) can send the transaction with 1 sat/byte. If his wallet doesn't allow that, he should use a better wallet. With many small inputs the total fee can still be high, but that's just the minimum. It can take weeks to confirm, but since you trust him (and you're not in a hurry), that shouldn't be a problem.

14146  Other / Meta / Re: [Request] Stats on: August 06, 2020, 06:52:43 AM
by simply going to a local board and scrape every comments in every thread and in every page (this is really hard). I hope I could patent this idea
Actually, it's quite easy Cheesy Getting all topics on a board is something I did in January last year, and once you have all topicIDs, you can scrape all topics (which takes some time).

The Beirut explosion should be a wake-up call to all of us, to store your Paper wallets and cold wallets in more than one geographical location. A national disaster or a accident like this might wipe out your house and if you used that as your primary hiding place, you would lose more than your house.
Storing your crypto in multiple locations increases the risk of someone else gaining access to it. From what I've seen, the number of people who lost their crypto to theft is many times larger than the people who lost their crypto to large disasters.

This is definitely one of the disadvantages of crypto, that you truly own your own money.
It's always a trade off between the risk of losing access yourself, and someone else gaining access. I've never found a solution that fully satisfies me.

Recover your forked funds and send them (straight away) to an exchange (better imo)
That's not what your own quote from Coinomi recommends. If you send your Forkcoins to an exchange and your BSV ends up on your BCH address, you won't be able to get them back.
14154  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Paper wallet to Nano S on: August 04, 2020, 02:58:47 PM
I know how to launch a live version of lubuntu, for example, but how I do then get electrum on it?
It's been a while, and I've used several images so I'm not sure which one worked exactly, but Electrum was preinstalled on some of them. I think Knoppix has it.
It's much more annoying for Forkcoins indeed, and if the amount isn't too high, Coinomi is a lot easier. Just don't forget the lack of replay protection, exporting private keys to recover coins from the wrong chain is more work. I can send you $0.01 in BCH if you PM your cold storage address.
Instead of using Electrum, you can also use coinb.in to create an unsigned transaction online and sign it offline.

Do I download it in advance on a USB/CD and install it from there or do I download it from the internet and then disconnect the internet?
It might work, or it might ask you to install additional packages, which requires an internet connection.

I have just read @Bitcryptex walkthrough of the Lightning Network support in the recent Electrum update and for me, it is just obvious that 90% of people will never touch it until everything will be working in the background without them even noticing it.
Try these mobile wallets:
BlueWallet (custodial LN) (see topic: A great lesser known wallet! [BlueWallet])
Phoenix Wallet (non-custodial LN) (see topic: Opinions on Phoenix Wallet?)
Those are the easiest LN wallets I've tried. Just don't deposit more than you're willing to lose.
14156  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Paper wallet to Nano S on: August 04, 2020, 01:47:14 PM
This is exactly why I suggested to move the coins to a fresh new wallet in ledger nano. Their private keys will be exposed, and even a small mistake can be final here. I would do the simpler: just move coins to a new ledger nano wallet
I don't get what you mean here.

Do you have a seed of your paper wallet?
Paper wallets don't have a "seed", they have a private key.

14158  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The Lightning Network FAQ on: August 04, 2020, 09:41:49 AM
I want opinions, how long to wait before Lightning surges in usage among the "Bitcoin mainstream"?
I was hoping more established sites (such as casinos and exchanges) would start using it, but it's mainly small/new sites that use it.
I haven't seen a single signature campaign paying in LN either, even though there are campaigns that pay quite small amounts in Bitcoin. Sending small amounts of Bitcoin to many addresses doesn't take that much fee, but using those small amounts can be expensive. LN would be great for that, but as long as it's not just possible to pay several people at once without receiving a payment request, it's not going to happen. Just imagine having to ask 50 people each week to send you a payment request, each for different amounts.

As far as I know LN is still classified as "experimental" and "don't put in more than you're willing to lose". Making payments still doesn't work all the time. Lightning Network Statistics - Bitcoin Visuals shows how LN went from nothing to it's current state in 2.5 years. Even before that, I was looking forward to it already. Given it's slow progress, I'd expect at least several more years to become mainstream. And this will also depend on existing wallets adding LN, and on Bitcoin fees.

Have you considered a BIP38 encrypted paper wallet? I carry one in my wallet (created offline using bitaddress.org). I've never used it (I also hold a small amount in Mycelium), but if I ever find a shop that accepts Bitcoin, I'm ready for it.
This topic convinced me I don't have to worry about someone easily brute-forcing BIP38: I'm BIP38 curious, please help me out!.

Of course I keep a backup of the paper wallet at home Smiley
