When I connect it to the PC, the screen of the Ledger lights up very dimly. Can it be that he is broken? Or is it the connection from the ledger to the PC or something else?
Weakest point of ledger nano S models is cheap low quality display that often gets unreadable after few years of usage or storage. Easy temporary solution is to use smartphone camera to read content on screen, and you can also order new display from China for few bucks and replace it yourself. Permanent solution is to stop using ledger closed source wallet and switch to some better alternative. If I have to order a new hardwallet, does it matter from which manufacturer or does it have to be one from Ledger so that I can get back in with the 24 words?
You can use most hardware wallets and import 24 words, but I would choose models with open source firmware. Depending on what coins you have good options are Bitbox, Trezor, Keystone, Onekey. I Use macOS Monterey 12.6.9 the new cable don't solve the problem.
Try connecting it with diferrent OS like Linux (usb live version), just to make sure it's not because of operating system.

There is not much we can do about it because even when we have 5000 XMR it gets sold within an hour or two. There are some people that are monitoring our XMR balance with scripts via API to receive notifications when it's up then come and buy it all. However this problem (which is not really a problem) will get some workarounds eventually.
Is it possible that some big centralized exchanges are buying coins from eXch? I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case, but I noticed other coins can also dry out sometimes , for example there is not a lot of Bitcoin at the moment (a bit more than 0.92 BTC). At least we can see balance of reserves, that is impossible with big exchanges, so it appears like they always have them even if they don't. Also, it's possible to backorder XMR on eXch. What some of our users do while no XMR reserves are available is creating and funding an order so it gets executed in a first place when XMR reserves reappear with sufficient balance to cover their order.
Sounds good.

Odmori se dobro od foruma, i nadam se da se uskoro opet vidimo kad se vratiš iz Amerike i kad se stvari stabiliziraju na poslu. Malo su svi promašili kontinent sa svojim nagađanjima, ali ipak putuješ izvan Europe PS Pazi se i u Americi ima ''otmica''

1- Has anyone ever lost cryptocurrencies stored in a hardware wallet? Yes. You can lose anything even if you keep it in most secure place in the world, if you give the keys (seed words) to someone else. For example, the manufacturing company may have stored the words of the device, and after someone makes a purchase and transfers the balance to the hard wallet, the manufacturing company steals them. Has anyone ever reported that they lost their cryptos stored in hardware wallets? Not from direct sales, but anything that has closed source firmware could do that in theory because you can't verify the code. 2- How do I know that the words I received will not be assigned to another user after some time in a hot or cold wallet?
You are not receiving anything with wallet, you should be the one who is generating random seed words. 3- I want to buy ledger nano s plus or safepal s1. which one is good? (I only want for bitcoin)
Both of them are bad, but safepal is probably one of the worst hardware wallet, closed sourced and dirt cheap junk. New model Safepal X1 could be a bit better, but it's still new and I wouldn't risk it until I see some reviews. I am only recommending hardware wallets with open source firmware, that can be Passport, Jade or Bitbox if you only want to use it for storing Bitcoin.

I've never seen a crypto wallet that basically tells me to give up on crypto I have this option disabled because I don't care about current fiat values and analytics so much, and it is just a distraction for me. And why would you even care about default settings for anything you use? Do you buy smartphone, car, tv and other crap and just use default settings or you set it up like it fits you. This is basically just like buying a new car but not changing seat position to fit your height, or turning on air conditioning to hot during summertime... Easy ''fix'': Appearance - Tab Settings - Markets Tab - Switch Off.

However, eXch absolutely serves for mixing when you exchange some coin to XMR, which is a privacy coin that is proven to be untraceable.
Small problem is that you aka eXch don't always have XMR available in reserves for exchanging with other coins Some people reported this back to me several times and I confirmed it, but I think even Binance exchange had liquidity issues with that specific coin.

I have already discussed how to securely store Bitcoin. For me, it is impossible to never use USDT. Now, let's talk about how to securely store the Ethereum token USDT and share my thoughts with everyone here!
This is to complicated and it has nothing to do with Electrum wallet. One alternative for using USDT is with layer-2 Liquid Network and L-USDT token that is backed by Bitcoin and it has much lower transaction fees. I think that supported hardware wallets are Jade (airgapped) and Ledger, and Green software wallet that should have multisig support.

Here is where I was coming from. For example Bruno, many people distrusted his judgement but the person is no longer alive. Zepher is distrusted by many too. Same applies for him too. None of them will be leaving any more feedback to anyone anymore so there are nothing left to trust or distrust their judgement. They are above of all judgement. You can't really confirm if someone is going to come back in forum or not, even if they are dead. For example we had one well known DT member in our local board marlboroza and he was inactive for really long time, but then he made a post last month. Second example was another of our members that stopped writing for few months, and we started to speculate what happened to him, he came back and said that he had to take a break because of his personal life. There is no exact period to determine if someone is ''inactive'', really inactive or retired. If Bitcointalk turns out to be as legendary as I hope it will be, our posts and trust feedback should still be here centuries from now. In about half a century, when the last of the current users stops posting and becomes inactive, they'll drop off DT1 and all their inclusions will become "untrusted". By then, the current scammers are inactive too, so the tags served their purpose and will only be part of history.
I think things will change drastically in next half of century, I am not sure internet as we know it and bitcointalk will even exist.

OpenDime, SatsCard and Cacascius; yes that's what I was looking for. Thanks
Paper wallets could also do something similar because they have printed private key, and there is also several projects that made bitcoin paper notes that look great and can be used the same way like cash. Here is one of them called offline.cash, I think I remember them from bitcointalk forum, but only reservations are available.

Interesting little project that it's relative easy to make it, I know LILYGO T-Display is dirt cheap to buy and it's widely available on internet. Code for nerdminer is open source and that is great, but I think this would be useful only if I had time machine to get back in past and actually mine some BTC

I want to buy a hardware wallet. I only have bitcoin. In your opinion, is safepal good or ellipal titan mini? (I don't have a financial problem, I just want an air gap hardware wallet). I also want a hardware wallet that support bip39 password (a cipher that is needed during recovery, in addition to words, and is actually a protection for words) when creating the wallet.
Both of them are bad and closed source wallets, so I wouldn't waste money on them. Safepal recently released new model that has open source firmware, but it is using only bluetooth for communication so this is not airgapped device. There are few more available options, cheapest one is Jade hardware wallet, than you have Keystone and best option is Passport hardware wallet. They all have open source firmware, and Coldcard is also available if you don't mind CC license (not open source),

It detects any change. See this signature. I had to search in the page source to find the one byte that changed. I don't worry about false positives, the campaign manager can see the difference between correcting a byte and switching campaigns. Sounds good, but I guess they would have to keep list of participants updated all the time, that can be a hustle for some. How can manager see if link in signature was changed, maybe with added different custom link or different website?

A few days ago I got the news that Bitcointalk member Joerii (Joeri Pross) passed away, leaving behind a wife and 2 young kids. I never knew the guy in forum but I am sorry to hear this He was only 40 to die unexpected suddenly, but I hear a lot more cases like this in last few years. I was reading news reports you posted translated from Dutch and they are not saying what was the cause of death, but they know he it was not a crime, he just went out to walk. Did they found out the real cause of his death? I saw in gofundeme that he died from fatal accident as he slipped and fall into water. RIP

Re bugs, I have now hired a QA. Hopefully we will reproduce this bug and will catch new bugs before users do. I plan to release an update by Oct 15.
Am I getting any special reward for catching the first bug? I already replied to message you sent me, so you know situation about no-code review, but I will try to test Crosspass app again on different device when I have more free time. Cheers.

Don't give them strange ideas for the Pizza Baking Contest 2024. Having an Italian stating that "pizza with passion fruit and mayonnaise" is somewhat legit (according to Poe's Law) could lead to a disastrous outcome.
I cant forget this year special exxxotic pizzas that contained lemons, potatoes, and who knows what else. It can't get any worst then that right? Right?? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66022857

Therefore, I ask that when you send a PM, write something in the subject of the PM and not just leave the "(No subject)". This helps a lot in managing PMs.
I am guilty for mostly using default option aka No subject in forum If this was email or if bitcointalk had better personal message system I would probably pay more attention to this, but now it sucks and adding different title when someone already sent me ''No subject'' is silly. How about instead of changing titles we change and improve the whole messaging system.

Well done! I am thinking about false positives with this tool. Is any change to the signature going to be detected, like adding or removing few characters by mistake? Or it only detects when someone removes and/or changes signature?

Not sure if they had a last-minute change or their product page is just inaccurate, but on its user manual page, they're claiming it's a " 200mAh battery". I checked multiple sources and they are all saying battery is 128mAh, but you never know with stuff coming from China Manuals often have outdated or different information, something like this happened in my case with one item I purchased from China recently, it happens more than you think. Only way to confirm battery and screen color is to see review testing from someone, and I heard they gave a lot of Safepal X1 devices for free in Singapore, so they are coming soon. It appears that it's not going to show the full address on its display [last picture]! Maybe it shows up full address when you click on it. Again, let's wait and see first review from some youtuber. I've been using hardware wallets for years, but the Ledger debacle with key extraction APIs baked into the firmware taught me a lesson about trusting any company. Open source code is a big part of the answer, but third party wallet access is too.
Maybe they change it later, support for other wallets is must have, for many reasons including multisig setup.

I've just received the 1.3-inch OLED screens and soldered one of them. Here's a photo comparing the two screens.
It makes a big difference, but is it showing more characters on screen or they are just bigger? Most important change would be to show full transaction addresses, and for signing transaction confirmation. So now you have two DIY Trezor devices, or it's the same one?

Added MyCitadel software wallet to the comparison.
First time I hear about MyCitadel wallet, but it looks interesting and it has similar clean interface like Electrum wallet. I see it has support for hardware wallets, so I downloaded it and I will probably test it next few days. Nice to see list of supported hardware wallets on thebitcoinhole.com website.
