I don't know, I've never imported a car.  Maybe there're some tariffs that need to be paid, but I would imagine that would have been charged along with the importation fees, not when (if) the car is re-sold.  Good line of questioning though...  I would like to hear the OP's rational for that comment.

I think you're confused about that.  The IRS doesn't require you to claim proceeds from the sale of personal used goods as income.  Did you get charged fees and a tariff when you imported the car?

The federal government doesn't charge any taxes on private sales of used cars.  The money that people spend on cars has already been subjected to federal income tax, and since most cars depreciate in value there's no capitol gains.  Some states do charge sales tax on used car purchases, the buyer is responsible for paying those taxes.

I'll buy that for a dollar.  Seriously, what are you asking for it?

I have no familiarity with this vehicle, they're not imported to the US.  Is it full time AWD, or does it have a selector?  What size engine does it have?  Manual transmission?  Any chance you're willing to drive it sunny Northern California?

I certainly hope it's nullius, because I would hate to believe there is more than one insufferable narcissist of that caliber on this planet.  If I had any doubts they've been extinguished by reading this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg60264248#msg60264248

The way he quotes himself, brags about (alleged) accusations of nullius being Lauda's alt (wishful thinking,) practically gushes over nullius like he's a legend, and already suffering from delusions of his own grandeur.  Just like nullius would.  It's definitely the dark-side of nullius.

Promises, promises.


Ooooh, so you're an intellectual?  An intellectual who believes in curses?  Do you cast spells, also?


Lol, how pathetic.  Just save your cursed coins, nobody want's them anyway.

You got your money back, but you didn't get to play fast and loose with their casino.  That's not a scam.  As it is, I think it's been made pretty obvious that nobody (with any clout) supports your allegations.

Here are some more legitimate questions:

If a woman wears a skimpy dress to a sausage party and gets raped, who's to blame?  Is it
A. The woman?
B. The dress?
C. The rapist?

If my car is stolen and thief drives it through a toll booth without paying toll, who's accountable?  Is it
A. Me?
B. My car?
C. The car thief?

The answers are obvious; it's the person with the most money.

I reached an age milestone not long ago, and for some reason I've been really nostalgic about my teenaged years.  Dusted off a bunch of old punk-rock records recently, here's one of the bands I was into as a kid:

Every man imagines his own sperm as if it's rocketing out, germinating the universe...


Right?   

I'm sorry for any confusion; you said that a customer can reject KYC and in most cases he'll get a refund.  What would cause a customer to not get a refund if he rejected KYC?  What happens to the funds in that case?

Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day, it's a sign:

Can you please answer a couple of questions?

1. Are you a representative of ChangeNOW?
2. How were you able to link that transaction to the OP?
3. Why isn't ChangeNOW using their official account to make these posts?


Good to know.


In most cases the customer gets a refund?  What happens otherwise?

If you're thinking about from a long-term investment strategy it doesn't matter when you buy.  I purchase a little bit of bitcoin every month.  I bought when it was $60k, I bought when was $28k.  I'll buy if it drops to $19, and and I'll buy when it pumps to $100k.  I'm playing the long game, so the current price is really not as important as the over-all average price of my bitcoin purchases.

$125.  I updated the OP to include prices in USD $cam tokens.  


Lol, if you buy it you can do whatever you want with it.  It's worth noting, however that the Nano X is like new.  I've never actually used it as my regular hardware wallet.  I only played with it to learn about how Ledgers work.  When I first got it I imported a hot wallet into to and made a couple of transactions.  Then I restored it and it's been sitting in the drawer for almost two years.  It is one of the early models without the problematic battery.

Can you provide some more detail, please?  I've never used the Changenow service (fees are way to high,) but they've been around quite some time and I haven't heard of them being scammers before^[1].  TrustPilot lists over 7k reviews with 4.8 stars average.  I'll refrain from discussing the reliability of TrustPilot reviews, that's another subject.

Are you sure you were dealing with the right site, and didn't get phished?

Thank you for that.

As OmegaStarScream has mentioned; when importing your seed into Electrum, on the page where you enter the seed phrase click on the "options" button and select the check box for Bip39 seed.

On the following screen it'll ask what type of wallet you have, i.e. legacy, nested segwit, or native segwit.  Receiving addresses that start with 1 are legacy; if they start with 3 they're nested segwit, and if they start with bc1 they're native segwit.  Select the option that correlates with your type of addresses. 

It's been a week and a half since I reported the .xyz site (I hope I wasn't the only one,) but it still tops the search results on google.  A friend called me the other day, asking if the .xyz site was the legit one or not.  The last time he used chipmixer I walked him through using tor.  He said he was about to send the coins but it felt too easy, so he figured it must be a scam, lol.  Good call!

I told him to bookmark chipmixer.com, which he had not done.  He did bookmark the tor site in torbrowser, but had forgotten about all that, which is why he searched for it.  Just another lesson about the importance of bookmarking sites you use for financial transactions.

Excellent review.

In all honesty I feel the idea is a lot better than the execution.  I had considered conducting this experiment myself but decided against it feeling it's not as safe, secure, or functional as an air-gapped Pi (or other PC) running an open-source OS such as Ubuntu.  My main concern with the setup is that you have to keep your seed phrases accessible or pull them out of hiding once in a while, which exposes them to significantly more risk than is necessary.  Conversely, an air-gapped PC can store your seeds relatively safely behind strong encryption, and multiple layers of encryption can be implemented.  Once you're seeds are paired with wallets they never need to be exposed again.

Theft of loss of SeedSigner appears to pose slightly less risk, assuming the seed is thoroughly purged from the system.  I haven't audited the code, but I assume the seed is stored in ram while the device is in use.  If the OS uses swap files to store the seed it can retain the information unless it's overwritten with random bits as the device is being powered down.  I don't know about you, but none of that would really ease my concerns if the device was stolen.  Again, a thoroughly encrypted OS is likely to buy you more time to discover the loss of the device and move your funds.

One benefit to the experiment, however is that if you tire of it you have all you need to convert it into an air-gapped PC (with the exception that I would want a bigger screen.)

All in all, it looks like a really fun project whether you use it to manage funds or not.  

I think they broke something long before that.  When I first bought the wallet there was a desktop app provided by KeepKey.  I used it with Electrum from the get-go because the native app only supported legacy addresses.  At some point KeepKey merged with ShapeShift and they ported the desktop app into a google chrome extension, but the standalone app was still available.  Shortly after that a firmware update broke the ability to pair the device with the desktop app, unless it was started with admin privileges.  The same applied to pairing with Electrum.  To fix that issue, they stopped supporting the desktop app. 

It seems obvious that KeepKey doesn't really care about this.  They would just as soon have all KeepKey owners limited to using ShapeShift to manage their accounts.



That makes two of us. 



I don't use either of those wallets so I haven't tried.  When Core 22 was released with hardware support I was able to pair my Nano S, but the KeepKey was problematic.  I assume it was the same issue that prevented it from pairing with Electrum.  I don't expect Specter would behave any differently, since it's mainly just an alternative gui for Core.  Sparrow is also is just a gui wrapper around Electrum, so again I doubt it would behave differently with the KeepKey.

Because of the way hardware wallets interact with your computer, there's almost no risk to your bitcoin from malware and viruses.  They're not without risk, however.  There's still the potential for clipboard malware to change a send-to address.  They still require caution and diligence by the user.



As you've indicated, there's the potential to download a malicious version of Electrum, which is the biggest risk to your coins.  There's the potential for other types of malware to capture your key strokes, and compromise your passwords.

If you are a confident and competent computer user who takes great care to avoid getting hacked or download malware, then you're desktop wallet is likely to remain safe.  But realistically, only you can assess the risk/reward of your behavior.  I would advise against storing the majority of your wealth on a desktop wallet.  Personally I use desktop (or "hot") wallets as if they are my leather wallet in my pocket, and I don't keep very much cash in my leather wallet.  If it gets lost, I'll still be able to feed the kids and pay the bills.

You can lock, delete, or move this thread to the archive section all by your self.  You don't a moderator to do it.



Oh FFS, would you make up your mind.  No one here is that desperate for your 1mBTC, blessed or cursed.  Personally, I'm tempted to oppose your flag just to see if you'll honor your word (and your curse,) because I think you're full of shit on both accounts.



What are you talking about?  There's no revoking your right to be jackass after it's already happened.  This is the interwebs and everything is archived.  You won't be getting any good-boy points for paying up, and you're not losing anything by not.  No one cares.
