So while looking for fallback cannot hurt, it's early for that ; new HW will most probably be launched meanwhile and then one will have to take a close look again. If you want a fallback now which you know will be 100% guaranteed to work in 5/10/20 years' time (or as close to 100% guaranteed as possible), then get yourself an airgapped computer. For the price of some hardware wallets (~$200) you can easily find an old second hand laptop which you can buy, strip the connectivity hardware out of, format the hard drive and install some light weight Linux distro (or even strip out the hard drive too and run Tails via a live USB). And even if popular airgapped software like Electrum is long discontinued in 20 years time, you can be almost certain that there will be old copies of it still being hosted or even just a simple tool like Iancoleman which you can use to turn your seed phrase in to private keys and addresses. An airgapped device plus your seed phrase keeps you completely protected against failure of your hardware wallet. An (old) airgapped computer is always a good option, but it lacks 2 things: convenience (you probably won't get it out with you) and foolproof (I will never forget the guy that came to bitcointalk complaining that his money got stolen from his "airgapped computer which he used to connect to network only for short periods to get his transactions out", heh). That's why I consider SeedSigner a strong option. It's just a Raspberry Pi Zero (not too far from a general purpose computer after all, just cheaper) with a fancy enclosure and the necessary hardware and software added to it. It's cheaper too than the 200$ mark. Ah, and no WiFi, so less chances for errors. |

You cannot be more wrong. A forum that doesn't allow administration and censorship is the recipe for disaster. Although the forum, as it is now, allows freedom of speech, it still prohibits spam, plagiarism and spreading malware. Probably more too. And hundreds of posts (at least) are removed daily because of this. On the other hand, a forum like you propose will be the ultimate garbage collector. So my proposal is, like I tell those who want to create a better Bitcoin too: be my guest, make your own and see how many will embrace your idea. Then you will see if the idea was good or not. |

While FTX is still rather small, they had aggressive advertising and many have foreseen FTX as the one that will soon replace Binance as pretty much the top CEX around.
It might be small if we trust Binance numbers, but remember that CZ was the architect behind that incredible volume at OKCoin when everyone knew the numbers are fake, so how much of what Binance claims is true? This is correct. On the other hand, I hope that you realize that the chances are slim that it's only Binance faking their volumes (and FSX is not). So I'd take absolutely every exchanges' volumes with quite a pinch of salt. And just the fact Binance's shitcoin does much better than FTX's shitcoin tells that CZ must be doing something better than SBF, even if that's only the playing the smokes and mirrors game. Edit: fixed typo |

CZ's intention is certainly to destroy Sam's kingdom.
While FTX is still rather small, they had aggressive advertising and many have foreseen FTX as the one that will soon replace Binance as pretty much the top CEX around. Of course that now, with FTT in trouble, CZ has found the best moment to liquidate his stash and cause even more problems to the competitor. Will this destroy FTX? I don't know. But it will most probably show that its place is not on top. |

the link he sent is a fake miner website, to track my hardware model, OS\network envirment
This is the "benefit" of doing this kind of things privately, on telegram, instead of publicly, on the forum. If done publicly, others could have been seeing the links and the story and tell you from start that it all stinks. PS. Scammers were around in 2014 too. Even more, since then the account could have easily change hands too (hack, selling, ...); tagging it now. |

To begin with, my opinion is that this topic does not belong in this board, because what do the tokens of a crypto exchange have to do with Bitcoin?
I agree it should be moved, but not to altcoins, but to service discussions. Imho those (shit)tokens only show that a service may have issues. The emphasis is imho on "Are your funds safe at FTX", not "FTT is falling". The problem is that comments may turn the topic in altcoins shitshow. |

the Trezor from that time where much easier to hack
While looking up for something unrelated, I've read about Trezor's official reasons behind not using Secure Elements. In one of the many options we reviewed, we saw a potential candidate for a Secure Element to be used in our product and we went deeper into our research. As this was a Common Criteria certified chip, we did not expect what we found. Over a few weeks, we uncovered several different critical flaws requiring no special hardware leading to the extraction of the secrets from the chip. We quickly realized these were the attacks nobody tested against. I don't know whether it's the same chip as Nano S is using, but maybe you get to use some of Trezor's knowledge on the matter. Unlike Ledger, who are bound to not divulge anything about the secure chip they use, Trezor may be able to help. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, still, it can be an idea... |

Though i don't know by myself, but people are actually saying that they have been charged almost $100 as a withdrawal fees, cannot be sure , but yes there must be something cooking behind the walls..
OK, I've looked myself for their help pages. Bitcoin (> 0.01 BTC) and most altcoins' withdrawals are officially for free. ETH, tokens are not free. Even more, of qualifying for free withdrawals, one has to actually trade, it seems: Note: For free withdrawals, however, in the case of a user whose fiat/stablecoin deposit/withdrawal volume exceeds their trading volume, we reserve the right to charge a withdrawal fee of up to 0.10%. We will reach out to any users affected before applying this. So I don't know where the 100$ fee comes from and if it's for real (there are plenty of users complaining on the internet about this or that without understanding what they're doing and how this or that service is charging money from them, so without proof I tend to ignore most of those). However, I see FTX policy somehow related to Binance's no trading fees for this or that pair (and also an attempt to increase FTX user base) and I think that it is only a temporary policy. |

I plan to revenge and withdrawed 1000 usd from my bank to make big bets and win much more.
This is the usual mindset that makes people lose al their belongings at gambling. Obviously, a wrong mindset. Gambling should go by the "lost some, won some" mindset. If you lost some today, you'll also play tomorrow (or whenever) only money you can afford to lose. If you win, great, if you lose, no biggie. BTW: the "lucky people like me" idea may be a result of simply not playing too many rounds. Keep gambling at the fun level, else you may become very unlucky, and you don't want that. |

While FTT is expected to have... difficulties, especially after CZ announcement that they'll (slowly) sell some huge amounts, I don't know of actual withdrawal issues from FTX.
However, it's always well known that keeping funds at centralized exchanges is risky, so at least those keeping their money there for no good reason should really consider withdrawing to their own wallets, especially as I've read that FTX has not withdrawal fees (I don't know though whether this is for Bitcoin only or other crypto too).

This is where the dilemma arises: buy now Trezor model T or wait for the release of updated model, which, the release of which may happen just in the period of these 2-3 years, when Nano S will be supported. It seems to me that in this situation, one should not rush, because nothing critically unacceptable in the case of model S is happening now, but I think that there is already a reason to look at other models as a fallback. If Nano S+ or Nano X doesn't interest you.
I agree, there's no rush at all. Nano S will not be phased out neither too soon, neither too abruptly, and during that time many better and cheaper models can be launched. And not only by known or new HW makers, but also independent projects like SeedSigner. So while looking for fallback cannot hurt, it's early for that ; new HW will most probably be launched meanwhile and then one will have to take a close look again. |

Sper să nu supăr nici eu prea tare maximaliști Bitcoin, dar sincer eu cred că o să aibă mai mult valoare simbolică.
Tehnologia blockchain a evoluat destul de mult de la Satoshi incoace, iar evoluția continuă.
Nici maximalistii nu le stiu pe toate, desi unii s-ar putea sa fi devenit maximalisti fie fiindca s-au ars ei, fie fiindca au vazut cat de multi s-au ars cu monedele alternative. Si da, tehnologia a avansat, cu toate poticnelile si erorile inerente, dar da, tot evolutie este. Așa că aș prefera mai degrabă să pun banii la treabă decāt să aștept să crească Bitcoin, ca Fat-Frumos din poveste.
Banii sunt tot timpul o problema spinoasa si fiecare decide pentru el ce face cu banii lui, ca parerile vor fi intotdeauna impartite. Intelesem punctul tau de vedere, incercasem doar sa iti spun (cum) sa privesti si din alt unghi problema.. refuzurilor.. si sa nu o pui prea tare la suflet. Fiind momentan doar un erc20 token, versiunea asta se cheama "P.U.L.A. mică". Așa că are sens și să fie tranzacționata inițial pe 1inch. Nu vă faceți griji totuși, e proiectată să crească exponențial  sa ai noroc si sa creasca cel putin cum iti doresti! |

And btw, there's something CEX has and DEX doesn't: crypto cards. Again, banking, as I said  That's a good point. Still better to use DEXs and spend bitcoin directly though, rather than using yet another centralized third party to switch to fiat on the go.  I beg to differ, for this only case. With banks being picky in many countries about where the money comes from, this can easily become a problem if one sells Bitcoin. I find crypto cards useful for those who can't use Skrill and similar. But maybe I am missing something, my experience is limited. |

The more that centralized exchanges pull stuff like this, then the stronger the argument for DEXs become. Already DEXs win hands down on security of your coins, on security of your data, on privacy and not selling your information, on fees, on not being hacked, on not scamming their users, on not being fractional reserve, on not freezing accounts or seizing coins, speed of setting up an account, not requiring KYC, the list goes on.
Clearly. The platforms get more robust and ... well, everything there goes in the right direction. The only thing CEXs have going for them is the speed of individual trades, but continue to alienate users and that one metric becomes less and less important.
I've said it before, CEX is becoming more and more a business similar to the banks (plus forex). Some prefer that, some will go out of that. Not everybody sees crypto in the same way. And btw, there's something CEX has and DEX doesn't: crypto cards. Again, banking, as I said |

Personally, I am against these charges and it affects the rate of crypto adoption. It discourages people from starting to use crypto. What is your opinion about this practice ?
I find it interesting. I think that those exchanges do/will have an exodus of accounts (and funds) and a liquidity drop too. At least it helps people keep their money in their own wallets (at least I hope so). On the other hands, it can cause an even more centralization of users in the few bigger and more active exchanges, which also don't have this kind of fees. Unfortunately I don't expect many CEX users opt for DEX, not yet. But maybe soon enough... |

I would still like to know if future updates will be released for the Nano S as well
They have been still selling Nano S this year, 2022. And, afaik, by the European laws (Ledger is French, right?), they have to offer full support for at least 2 more years. So for now I would not be worried. Not yet. After 2024, that's another story. |

Pretty crazy what's happening this weekend, no?
Actually it happens early in the (European) mornings too, during the week, and rather often. For now all is nice. The "madness" will start when the price will jump fast again. |

In my country up to 7 people I knew very well ( friends and family ) want me to help them invest money in crypto, after telling them the risk involved and how it will be better if they learn themselves they turn the idea down..
Now they want me to invest their own money on coins and they aren't ready to choose the coins they will like themselves.
After thinking this through and through I started feeling like they are doing this to hold me responsible if something goes wrong.
Is my thoughts right? If you are in my shoes what will you do?
It can be that they fear they may make mistakes and it can be that they are not ready to take responsibility for those actions. It's you who know better all this. However, no matter how good you explain, there's a very good chance they'll blame you anyway if something goes wrong. I would not do this, especially if there are doubts like you've expressed. If they really want to, you can guide them on each and every step (even by staying behind their back), but doing the actions yourself, ... I don't know... |

Salut. Noi nu avem acces la tine pe calculator, deci calea locala nu ne ajuta. Pune poza pe imgur.com sau postimages.org si da-ne link-ul de acolo. In plus, doar o poza s-ar putea sa nu ajute asa mult, recomand sa spui si cum se numeste portofelul pe care il folosesti si eventual link (mai ales daca e ceva portofel pe web). |
