It is best to remove all parts that may be network or connected to the Internet physically from your device, and this includes the network card and wireless modules.

To send data between the connected device, you can add a camera and scan the data using the QR code.
I prefer Install Tails OS on USB flash drive, and this is an explanation of the steps https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228801.0 , or this Tutorial How to make a cold storage Bitcoin wallet with TailsOS and USB Flash or https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.html

I thought Wasabi Wallet was only for hot storage, since it was originally designed as an alternative to traditional mixing services, is there an option for cold storage?
MEW is an Ethereum wallet. I think the user's question here is about Bitcoin wallets.

The angle of the video filming does not indicate whether there is an individual standing in the corner, but with the negligence that I see from many people in using their bank accounts or trusting a third party to manage their passwords, I expect an increasing demand from Average Joe to buy Ledger wallets.

They won't get attention at conferences or technical forums, but for the public, the idea of having encryption data and able to access it from anywhere without fear is still attractive.

Since you want to manage your full node it is best to connect to Tor with an extra layer of VPN, all of these things will enhance your privacy.
The problem of privacy comes in that one mistake means the end of everything you are trying to build, so without knowing you will not be able to hide your identity completely, and if you are an expert in encryption, the ability of governments to track you is still possible, Monero here is a better option.
If you want privacy from your friends or family, using mixing services may be beneficial.

I prefer to slow down a bit before moving to a new hardware wallet and do your own research for the best alternative. You will find this list with many alternatives that you can search and compare among them: https://wallets.thebitcoinhole.com/

After choosing the wallet and comparing its features, you can prepare a mini-list of alternatives and ask here.



Be careful, DYOR and do not use exchanges that are unknown or with low trading volumes.

They are not MetaMask but scammers who make it and all they need is your email address and make sure that you have posted your Ethereum address publicly, then the possibility that you have used MetaMask is high, they can collect this information via a social attack while sending this e-mail does not cost them effort or time.


This is a big mistake. If you think that is a scam link, clicking on it will not change anything. They can now open your camera, take pictures of you or collect more data such as cookies, including knowing more information about you to use in next social attack.
If you are suspicious of a link, stop with the mouse on it, and the link extension will appear to you, and if that extension is hidden or a redirect link, do not click on it.


If you enter any random words they accept.

Go to his trust page and you will find a lot of transactions. it was not the first transaction he bought in 2019. The above quote shows the first time Bitcoin was requested on this forum (it was a loan, not from faucets.)
If you want more evidence, I can create a separate topic, but I think that if you search quickly, you will find that the account has been hacked/sold.

There is enough to confirm the suspicions, it is true that they show pictures of the team, but guess what, all the pictures are in black and white, and when you search for them on the Internet, you find no trace of these people except links related to this project, and there is no additional information, personal life or anything else.

PARTNERS page does not contain any clickable links.
The date the site was registered in 2019-07-04 However, there are no results in the Google search.
Their plans are limited to the year 2023, although they existed before it.

There is nothing trustworthy about this service.

There is an additional challenge in this estimation, which is that all blocks have become full after ordinal inscriptions. Therefore, in estimating the average, the blocks must be during the last two months, taking into account the possibility of any future soft fork.
Personally, I prefer 2-3 megabytes per day, or about 300-432 MB a day as blockchain daily increase.

Even these estimation may not hold for more than 10 years.

Hey Neven Lovrić  Can you sign a message from one of your old addresses?

This is the nearest address: https://www.blockchain.com/en/address/1BMWacvRR6HS1ZVbUZ7dwKseCsX4zduVor/

Why did you lie about this part? Your posts from 2013 indicate an educated personality who participated in many auctions, the quality of your technical participation was high, so how did you know about Bitcoin in 2019?

In my country, doing such a violation may lead to the suspension of the license from you in the worst case, but this does not prevent you from being able to withdraw from addresses that are not related to investigations, and judicial rulings give 6 months, provided that the user has put his identity verification data. I mean that the process will be, closing all new deposits, collecting all withdrawals except those whose identity has been verified in the worst case, and even this will happen with an automatic effect for some accounts and the effect of a part of withdrawals above a certain amount.

What is happening now is scam.

This is generous of you, your idea is good, but the problem is in describing it, because the book means intellectual property rights and many problems, so many people do not like to contribute to it.

It is better if it is a site for quotations, an online diary, or any other description that is far from the author's intellectual property rights obligation, or that ideas can be reformulated so that they lead to profit from them without the author's permission.

Try to donate the amount to those who love to create animations or comics, which will be attractive to readers and may be an income source for you and him.

Sometimes there are vulnerability here that must be updated, and if they are not obligatory, the user will panic as soon as he hears such vulnerability, and it is not wise not to update the firmware, especially with the popularity of Bitcoin, and it has become the target of hackers and even traditional thieves.

last one: ledger vulnerability: Invalid addresses for certain miniscript policies

Again losing trust is the last thing you need to think about if you are a paranoid so moving to a better wallet would be better, losing part of the money is more important than wasting your health on something not worth it.

Bisq is an example of an exchange platform that does not require users to do KYC or personal information.

Identity verification requirements come when the platform manages or interacts with bank accounts. To do this, the platform needs a commercial license, along with an anti-money laundering procedure. it requires users to comply with those rules, which differ according to the country from which the platform obtained a license.
Therefore, all central exchanges that do not require identity verification are required to do so according to conditions such as withdrawal or deposit from a bank account or exceeding a certain amount according to the license in that country.

You can create a platform without the need to do KYC by making it decentralized or centrally listed in a country while banning any users from countries that have laws related to crypto.

It is not a game to choose who you encourage, just as you are not a judge to decide who will win in the end, so your encouragement to one of the parties will harm you because you put a lot of feelings in something that you cannot control.

SEC investigations began in earnest more than a year ago, and you will find in media reports that they almost made a lot of notes on most of the platforms they reviewed, where they found, in one way or another, that they did not comply with regulatory standards.

https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/

Therefore, if you are upset, they will not stop soon, and crypto exchanges have the choice to either comply or refrain from providing services to US citizens.

The book is usually described as a book because there is a writer who lists the information according to a specific order, so that the outcome is to benefit from the most correct information with an attractive arrangement that attracts the reader. you rarely find a book that is scraps of ideas or was composed of many narrators.

Your effort is appreciated and it is good that it is open source, so why not make it in the form of Blogger? Or a website? Or comics (cartoon stories) or any form that helps others to develop with you, and there is no link or link between its pages.

In the book, it is more difficult because you need to re-divide it into sections, reformulate each section, and delete a lot of things before adding something new, not to mention the wording and intellectual property rights, because your content is from the Internet.

Your use of the hardware wallet depends on trust. If you lose this trust, it is better to buy another hardware wallet. You can consider any open source alternatives or DIY hardware wallet, and if you wait, you will get better recommendations, since I prefer cold storage using Electrum.

Here is a good list for more than 30 HW https://wallets.thebitcoinhole.com


According to what I read, you are safe if you do not update the firmware, but after several months you will reach a point where you have to update the firmware, and then you can fear, until that thing happens, start thinking about a suitable alternative instead of worrying.

Where there are bankruptcy rumors, you will find Binance.

On May 25, Binance suspended deposits that depend on the Multichain protocol, which will force users to the best alternative, which is Gate.io, which was noted in the Blockchain data https://etherscan.io/address/0x3a7937851d67ee2f51c959663749093dc87d9c9a#tokentxns, which proves A lot of FTM transfer from an unknown user (may be Binance) to the Gate.io platform Now then we heard rumors that the Gate.io platform might go bankrupt, which is almost a similar scenario to what happened with FTX.

I explained above that high trading volumes prevent any bankruptcy rumors, but it seems that some are still trying to play the same game that happened with FTX.


I've connected the dots from the link above https://cointelegraph.com/news/gate-io-denies-liquidity-problems-after-multichain-ceo-goes-missing

Lending in general involves a double risk, one of which is the fixed payment term with a guarantee, if you do not pay within the payment term, the guarantee will be liquidated at less than its value, and the second is the interest, which is rising in our current days due to inflation and because of the increase in interest rates.

These risks increase in Bitcoin as the value is very volatile and volatile, and therefore you add another dimension to the factors that currently exist. It is an option that I do not recommend to anyone because you want to borrow in a high-risk investment with slow returns in the short term and the results are not guaranteed in the long term. DCA is the best strategy, it allows you to grow slowly but after a few years you will notice that your assets have increased well.

The good thing is that they put the notice about no withdrawals on the home page, but the lack of suspension of deposits is very confusing.
I sent a message to the support team, and let's see what their response is. If the site is under police investigations, this does not mean that the platform is frozen, otherwise it means that the platform has been sized, and therefore all depositors' funds are frozen.
If users cannot withdraw it is an exit scam, they may not have enough liquidity and therefore everything may suddenly disappear.

it is more likely to an exit scam than police investigations

what It worked for me and you can check the link above, you will find another comment.
Yes, at the end of my reply I mentioned



What is the difference, if you generated new seeds for the same closed source wallet, you did not enhance your privacy or security, all that is required of this step is to check your balance before withdrawing your coins.

I agree.

I faced the same problem several weeks ago and found the solution in updating the wallet with a complete deletion of the previous data, which necessarily requires that you save your seeds before you take any step.
I can't figure out why this is happening, but because the wallet is closed source, there may have been a problem with the code with a particular IP, so stopping using it is the best option.
