Doe anyone know if this was only done to electrum users?  What about electrum-ltc? 



Also i had no idea of this but there are other electrum-dash wallets as well.  Did those get hacked as well with the version or it was only the electrum with bitcoin?



Also its been said that there was a message you need to click on to update.  So if you click on that link... what happens?  It brings to you a website?  Or did it automatically download the program?  I assume it goes to a site... then you have to still click on the link itself?  What is the site of the link?  Was it github or electrum site itself but a phishing site?  What if you downloaded the program but never opened it?  Does anyone know if you are still safe if that was the case?   Also didn't these electrum attacks started happening in late 2017?  I remember in early 2018 it was huge but i thought it started in late 2017?  When did those fake electrum wallets started happening?  That was 2017 right?  But it was this complicated and tricky hacking that happened in early 2018?

I took a look at the electrum wallets i have installed in uninstall or change a program.


Electron Cash 4.0.0


Electrum 3.3.4


Electrum-LTC 2.8.3.5



I haven't opened electrum-ltc in a long time.  I read that if electrum site and electrum-ltc, do not open any wallet where the version is below 3.3.3 right?  So i should just remove the electrum-LTC now as if i try to open it now, good chance i would get that update message to play it safe?  Thus if i want to download electrum-ltc... download it again from the site?


But what about electron cash and electrum?  But i have no purpose of using electron cash anymore.

So electrum has been out since late 2011? 



Was electrum and bitcoin core the main wallets ppl used back then in 2011 and 2012 to store their btc?  I assume it was bitcoin core... but you had to download entire blockchain and sync... then ppl went to electrum afterwards?



Was there any hacks or issues like with electrum back then like it had been not long ago with all the phishing?   Or did all this happen right when crypto got big? 

This is a huge concern for electrum users.  If someone were to open electrum after not using it a long time, aren't most ppl going to be tricked like this?  I mean most ppl who are not tech savy would probably just update it right?  More than 1/2 ppl would probably do this right without checking it out first?  Thats what im thinking.


Also when you had that update message, did you click on the link and it updated?  Thus it opened your chrome browser?  Or you had to copy and paste it to chrome to download it?  Also you can reject the update right?  If you reject it, how do you do it?  Can you ignore it?  Or is there an X to click to close that message?

I use nano ledger s now to store my btc and bitcoin cash.  I have other wallets that i use because they are not compatible with nano ledger s, so that is my only option.  Like waves and beancash.  I also had wallets that i used previously such as electrum, electrum litecoin and electron cash- i used this to claim my bitcoin cash.  I even have exodus wallet that i downloaded a while back.  With exodus, i downloaded it to see how it was like.  But then i read tons of security issues with it.  I believe i tested it out on my computer then uninstalled it.



As of now, i have no use for exodus.  I however do notice it in my download folder... as it says exodus windows 64.  But its not in my uninstall or change a program.  That means at the moment, i dont have exodus installed right?  Now if i want to completely remove exodus, i just go to my downloads folder, highlight exodus icon, delete it.  Then delete it from recycle bin?  I want to remove it permanently from my laptop.  But as of  now its not there anymore right?  Leaving the exodus windows x64 setup in the download folder does no harm?  Or best to delete it since no plans to use it ever



Also does anyone here use electron cash wallet for bitcoin cash and still use it?  I know there are ppl that say they downloaded the wallet to claim their bitcoincash, then immediately delete the wallet.  I always kept it in my computer even though there is no purpose of the wallet of me as i keep my bitcoin cash in nano ledger.  I do see it in the uninstall or change program.  So i have to uninstall it by going there and clicking it and uninstall right?  Then delete the electron cash setup that is shown in my downloads?



I also have no purpose of electrum ltc and electrum anymore.  I own no more litecoin and do not have any btc in my electrum anymore.  So i do the same... go to uninstall or change a program, and remove each one right?  Then go to my downloads and remove the electrum setup programs from downloads?  I have tons of electrum setup in my downloads like version 2.7, 2.7.8, 3.3.4 setups there.  So first delete electrum from uninstall a program, then delete every single one right?



The thing is im hesistant of opening electrum anymore because of all those issues a while back.  But right now i have no more btc in electrum.  So to make it safe, might as well remove everything electrum from it?  I did thought... hey might as well just leave electrum on my desktop because if i ever want to use it again, i can by clicking it.  But by then, there is already a new updated version of it right so i have to download new version anyway?  So you suggest me to delete all electrum setup folders now as well to be safe?  Again, i use nano ledger for btc so right now there is no purpose of me using electrum.

This coin was at 10 cent at the all time low.  Were there ppl that bought like 10000 of them or $1000 worth?  Because right now... its over 33 dollars.  So that meant 1k worth of binance coin back then is worth about 330k usd right now?



I heard about binance coin but i didnt bother with it because i thought its just an exchange coin... no purpose.  But isn't this coin like buying stock in the exchange itself like amazon? 



Did tons of ppl get rich from it?  I mean 1k usd of bnb back then is over 330k now right?  So someone with 10k worth of it and didnt sell till now has over 3.3 million usd?

What about binance and bittrex hacks?  Did any of them cause customers to lose coins or only binance and bittrex themselves?

Didn't it went from 3 cent to 30 dollar? Why did it drop back down to 1 dollar then?

Are there threads that ppl update with the incoming coins?

Are they still doing this at the moment?  So its free $25?


Now i wonder something else.  What if you asked other friends and other ppl you know to help you out on this.  Let say they don't mind.  That way they all get $25 a person.  Of course giving your privacy is not good. 

is shift still good to hold then?

Well what about those from a long time ago when btc was around 10 dollars and less?  Or when it was 1 dollar?  Surely ppl had like 500 plus or more when it was 1 dollar or less and didn't treat it like its worth anything?

Why is bittrex keep removing coins every so often?

Well lots of these coins prices has dropped.  Many of them are getting delisted...


What coins here are still good?


I mean how does bittrex delist power ledger?  That is a major coin isn't it?

What in the world has happened to waves price?  Why has the price been like this for so long?

Just noticed beancash is getting delisted from bittrex.  I can't even use bittrex but it being delisted is not good at all.  So where do you even sell it then?  When a coin gets delisted, do ppl get other exchanges to accept the new coin?


Also they seem to have delisted zclassic as well?

I got bitcash, what in the world we going to do with it now?  What other exchanges can we use?

What other things ppl need to be careful of? 


What if you use someones powerbank to charge your phone or tablet?  Is that safe or not?  Assuming you connect to the usb port on it?


What if its a power bank that could charge a laptop?  Thus it either connects to your laptops ac adapter spot which is a hole... or say it was usb-c.  I assume the first situation with the ac adapter to the laptop is still possible but very hard?  But if it was connected via usb-c ... its much easier?

Okay so those ppl that got btc around that time and before... was many of you treating it like it was nothing?  Thus 100 dollars worth of btc was 100 btc.  Thus ppl would send 500 btc like it was nothing back then right?

Back then, was many ppl with like 50 or 100 btc or even 1000 btc basically treating it like nothing when it was worth like 10 cents a coin?  For example i read about ppl who would gamble btc at online casino etc with 100s of btc like it was nothing.  WAs there a lot of that back then?  Because if btc was 1 dollar, then its only worth 1k... if there is 1000 bitcoin.
