I fell victim to a scam by PST.NET. Regrettably, I made the mistake of sending $27,500 to my account on their website to purchase a virtual card for my business. However, after completing their KYC verification process, they falsely claimed that my wallet address was flagged, which I know is untrue. Sending $27,500 on virtual card...  I don't think you can even spend money from any virtual cards on all websites and you probably can't withdraw cash from them either. I always suspected about pst.net cards, but you need to post some proof with transactions and screenshots for your claims or you won't be taken seriously. You should also read their terms carefully, I am sure they have text with small letters explaining how they can confiscate your coins. They provided various excuses and used AMLBOT.COM, a company of their own, to produce a fake AML report to justify their actions. As a result, they deactivated my account and denied me access to my funds, which is an apparent act of deception.
I don't trust anything coming from amlbot.com with their aml reports, but I am sure this is not their company, I mean owners are not the same. |

I am also surprised it does not feature on the kycnot.me homepage.
Good point. Anyone can post submission to kycnot.me website, including Komodo wallet developers, but I am not sure if they are interested in doing this, and if this exactly fits the exchange or wallet category. Note that latest update from kycnot website is that app devs are currently rewriting it for a better user experience and only necessary maintenance work will be performed, but here is the generator link: https://kycnot.me/generator?type=Exchange |

Finally, together with one of the forum users, we have almost completed work on the creation of UniJoin custom cards.
Can you say more about this cards and raffle you mentioned? Card design looks cool but I am little concerned about private keys with products like this, and how/when are they generated. Even with good intentions someone could leak the keys or hackers could steal them, so I think best thing is that only end-user generates and owns the keys. Then there is a question of delivery for this cards... you obviously need to know personal details and address to send this cards (not everyone can use amazon lockers), and this is problematic information for mixer to have. |

How about an option to add more user(s) of your choice to co-moderate a your self-moderated thread alongside yourself (the op)?
I don't see any good reason why anyone would do that? First you don't know if other members you selected would accept to moderate your topic, and second they could delete all posts and lock your topic at any time without explanation. If someone randomly selected me for moderating their topic I most likely wouldn't even know about that and I wouldn't do any moderating for them. Lot of complications and that usually means more problems down the line. |

Well, I actually really like traveling slowly and long term. Last time I spent 8 months, doesn’t mean I’ll do that again but I just go with the flow so I never know. Will probably just buy a new laptop at some point, just avoiding that for now since I usually go with the higher ends and don’t feel like spending $1k+ to fix a couple lines of code.  Or you could try going in some internet cafes or place that rents you computer and internet access, people usually use them for playing games or talking with relatives from other countries. I wouldn't waste money on junk laptops, but maybe you could look for good old Thinkpad used laptop and use it later as a cold storage, they are almost indestructible military grade T series with amazing keyboards. Hope you are enjoying your vacation  |

Don't hesitate... one special superhero with beautiful eyes will be wearing this avatar soon [you just haven't received my PM yet].  You know I am ready, just add different text below  He reminds me a little on the Pinguin character aka Oswald Cobblepot (Danny DeVito) from old Batman movie, if you are counting super villains in your avatars... but Catwoman would look cool   |

I think that in a week or so I will have all the avatars ready ... btw, my avatar is also from this collection.
I think you are missing another bald guy avatar from that collection, or you kept it only for special super-heroes  |

I really enjoy reading Jameson Lopp review tests, and he rated your seed plate very good. This is probably one of the cheapest A grade Metallic Bitcoin Seed Storage I found on his website, except maybe Steel Wallet, Hodlinox Single Plate and DIYSeed. Are you selling them only on Bitcointalk forum? |

I understand that in the first place you can think about the vulnerability of the server, but besides bitcoin, there was still a lot of things that could be stolen, but nothing was stolen, moreover, not even all of the bitcoin was stolen, so this is anything but not a server vulnerability. Perhaps the problem is indeed in weak entropy, but what exactly in my case, I don’t understand.
If you generated keys online there is a chance some of them got leaked, but maybe you can tell us what did you use for generating entropy? Being a little paranoid during this entropy generation is not a bad thing, and I am even starting to suspect in entropy generated by closed source hardware wallets like ledger. I think you should always do this part offline, and I would never keep keys online or cloud, aka other people computers, even if it has additional encryption. I am sure there is a way for exchange to use some kind of multisig setup to prevent hacks like this happening in future. If you are interested how Seed Generation works in Hardware Wallets check out one of my topics: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5317199.0 |

If you can "risk" the amount and think that your system is safe (like what you usually do), you can just import it to Electrum via "Import Bitcoin Address or private keys" in new wallet menu.
Then paste the WIF private key with the prefix p2wpkh: ; example: p2wpkh:L3BxN68HQp7zUv89ifFNDebU......
The choice is yours.
I am glad you managed to recover access to your coins and learned something along the way. In future it is better to stay away from using obscure wallets like Lunu, and don't hold coins on centralized exchanges, or you won't be so lucky next time Try to stick to proven and tested open source wallets/devices and decentralized exchanges like Bisq. PS I think some people can earn a nice amount of money helping other people recover ''lost'' coins, but at least they deserve donations |

First OBWallet, now LIPA wallet @internetional are you trying to do some kind of weird experiments with this brand new wallets or what? I like testing stuff myself but never with real coins/money, and I am skipping this one because it's available only on iOS devices. |

I cant increase fees i wish i can do
You can certainly increase your fees if you sent RBF transaction like you did, but I would recommend always checking state of bitcoin mempool before making a transaction, especially if you are in a hurry. Easiest way of doing this is by using Mempool.space website that gives you recommended fees with different priorities, and higher fees means faster transaction confirmaion. As for correct addresses, it's easy to copy-paste and then visually confirm addresses, I hope you are not manually typing every character |

Just a little update regarding AtomicDEX wallet, make sure to update to the latest version and don't be surprised to see they changed name to Komodo wallet. As far as I can see everything stayed the same, except rebranded name/logo, and only the name was changed, they are getting back to roots and maybe trying to stop confusion with other hacked project with similar name - Atomic wallet. Domain name is still the same but I think they will try to change this in future, along with other features they have in Komodo roadmap.

Hey so i want to sell my house in Glyfada, Athens, Greece for 250,000 euro, btc, eth or usdt accepted if anyone is interested i would be happy to assist with getting a greek resident's visa since if you buy a house for 250k euros you are entitled to one, if anyone is interested just dm me. No scammers please there will be notarized contracts and a bunch of paperworks so no way for anyone to scam anyone. If you're interested in buying a house with crypto in Greece hit me up.
Interesting offer and I didn't know Greece is giving away residency for buying a 250k house, but is it even legal in Greece to purchase a house with Bitcoin or with other crypto? One friend from Greece told me that you can't even buy anything for cash above 1000 euros (I think) because everyone is asking for digital confirmation of purchase, probably for tax purposes. |

Recently, I found a hard to swallow fact, or just a conspiracy (anyways, y'all can tell me better). I found some information concerning the Intel Management Engine (IME), basically a hardware device embedded to your mother board that allows backdoor attacks to be performed. It's not a secret that both Intel and AMD have their own secret operating systems inside chips that are running all the time and collecting data. Basic protection against this is to use your computer always offline without connecting to the internet, or by flashing the chip and installing open Source bios like Corebot. Problem is that this is not available for most modern computers (some older Thinkpad laptops are supported), and you can only disable Intel ME. Another solution is to use laptops like MNT Reform or Pinebook. My biggest concern about this issue, is on generating BIP39 mnemonics. I wouldn't worry about this if you only use offline laptop as airgapped device, but you can also use open source hardware wallets like Passport got generating seed words. Some people don't like hardware wallets, but I think they are much better for this purpose because they have much smaller attack vector than most computers. Is my reasoning right about this issue? Or am I just overreacting? If so, how would one person overcome the constraints imposed by this IME?
You are probably overreacting. I don't like Intel ME and AMD PSP but it's hard to use most modern computers without them. If you want to ''overcome'' them simply don't use computers, or use alternatives I wrote before.l |

Maybe someone has experienced the same fate as me, the Google Authenticator apk is missing! Maybe my friends know a way to be able to enter Google Authenticator without a key or is there another way to deactivate Google Authenticator so that when we want to enter a market account, we don't need the Google Authenticator key anymore? Hope someone knows about all this, thanks.
Missing from where? And what does it have to do with bitcoin?? Don't use g00gle authenticator app, just first export all your 2FA tokens or create backup, than install Aegis Authenticator app and import all tokens there. Aegis Authenticator is great open source and it works much better than all other apps, but you can also KeePass app as temporary solution, because it can work on computers and smartphones. |

The website design has been updated ☠️☠️
Much better looking retro design for sinbad website, and I really like the new pixelated logo. This probably means that we are going to see some changes soon in sinbad signature campaign Note that the service address has changed. Use the new address to verify the authenticity of letters of guarantee. The address is located in the footer of the site.
Why didn't you use some bitcoin vanity address with ''sinbad' letters? |

It seems that you are correct about this, it looks something similar like ColdCard license, but they only made changes few days ago so let's wait and see if they add proper Open Source license. I asked CoolWallet for explanation and I will update list when I get official reply from them, but for now I am adding special note for CoolWallet Pro. This is still better than closed source license, but it's not good to call something open source if it's not. |

Does biometrics require about $30, I don’t know, but it is not an essential feature to add to this price. I thought it would be possible with that price to remove the logo or different designs from the basic one.
Additional secure element and hardware for reading fingerprints costs money, and I think old Keystone Pro version had tampering detection unlike regular version, but I am not sure if this will be the case for Keystone3. What is the benefit of this? Silly question... so I won't respond to this since the answer is obvious. That's actually very affordable. Nice to see. It may become a good budget option. I compared prices for all other hardware wallets and I think this move from Keystone will force other hardware wallet manufactures to think about reducing prices, or giving special discounts. There are few cheaper hardware wallets out there, but Trezor One will stop producing soon, cheaper OneKey devices are all based on Trezor One code, so we only have Jade wallet that is currently cheaper. Then again, it's fairly cheap to replace and you should have proper backups anyway.
And it's compatible with other hardware wallets, but I don't think battery should last for years without problem, and it won't be as shitty as in ledger nono X. I've seen many lithium batteries that still work after 10 years, although they lost maybe 40% capacity. I've also seen lithium batteries break phones because they inflated. It's convenient to have a battery in a hardware wallet, but adds a risk factor.
You also need battery for laptops and many other devices I think heat and water are the main problems for lithium batteries, so keeping them away in cooler dry places is a good suggestion. Tesla crap had huge problems when floods with water started to ignite batteries and create fires that can't be put down with more water. |

List is updated with few more wallets thanks to your suggestions.
Nunchuk wallet has full Taproot support for some time and it is getting more popular solution for multisig setup and non-KYC inheritance plans.
Bitmask is new wallet that can work as browser extension or web wallet, and it supports Bitcoin Network with Taproot, Lightning Network, RGB, and other features.
I am considering all custodial wallets similar like centralized exchanges so I won't be adding them in this list any time soon.
Do your own research before using any wallet even if they are open source.
