What is the problem with Trust Wallet ?
The biggest problem with trustwallet is that it's close-source and there is no way to know how the keys have been generated and whether they are stored in their server or not. That may be why OP doesn't want to use trustwallet. The other problem with trustwallet is that it's only available on mobile and it has no desktop version.

I'll also like to know what happens when multiple reports on a single post are marked as good, while they have different comments, e.g, one is saying the post is spam to be deleted, and another is saying it's fit in another board.
If one of reports is handled and the post is deleted, all reports made for that post are automatically handled and marked as good. Otherwise, all reports made for that post should be handled one by one. For more information, read the old post made by halab.

I don't think it's true to say that you uploaded audio in the forum. The forum doesn't have such a feature at all. You uploaded an audio file somewhere else and shared its link here. That's like uploading a video on YouTube and sharing the link in the forum.

- OP provided an address which he doesn't own (got it from somewhere!)
According to their website, users have to prove the ownership of the withdrawal address. If OP doesn't own that address, then the question is how he/she was able to prove its ownership. - OP backed up the wrong wallet
This is very likely. - clipboard malware (unlikely but still possible)
I agree. It's very unlikely.

You still have chance to change the display name (not real username that is unchanged for all users) by sending your request to theymos. Theymos usually doesn't change the username and as you mentioned, it's only the display name which is changed. But it's not that the username is unchanged for all users. If theymos changes someone's display name due to his/her privacy, he changes the username as well. For more information, read the post made by theymos, before.

I personally use mempool.space (for its ease of use). It just display the values in btc by default. To see the transacted amounts in usd just click/tap on the amount field and it will display the USD value. With doing this, you will see the current USD value of inputs and outputs. OP wants to see their value at the time the transaction was made.

1) Download the software (ledger Nano X),save the webpage that generates the keys,disconnect your internet.
With disconnecting your computer from the internet and generating the keys, you don't make your wallet a cold storage. You should generate your wallet on an air-gapped device. This means that you should use a device which has been always offline and will never get online. The public key is your Bitcoin wallet address,this is used to send bitcoin to your wallet
Your public key is different from your bitcoin address. Your bitcoin address is actually a hash of your public key. If you want to make transaction from your offline wallet,you should import the private key of your paper wallet, to your software wallet by scanning your private key QR code into the text box provided for private keys on your software wallet that is connected to the internet,or you copy and paste your private keys in the box.
With doing this, you defeat the purpose of the paper wallet. Your private keys should never touch the internet. You should create the unsigned transaction on the online device and sign it on the offline device.

it usually contains a series of 12 (or 24) words.
If the wallet has been created in 2013, the seed phrase should contain 16-20 words. Blockchain.com wallet used to give users a seed phrase which isn't supported by any other wallet. They upgraded their wallet in 2016 and started to use 12 word BIP39 seed phrases.

I found a old private key from 2013. I want to double check it doesn't have a significant balance but i have only a few characters in the password.
If you have the private key, that's all you need and you don't need any password. wallet id was recognized, private key wasn't, private key seemed to have some weird words maybe i wrote it down wrong.
Maybe, you are confusing the mnemonic phrase with private key. Isn't that a series of words? If so, that's called mnemonic phrase, not private key. The following link may be helpful to you. https://login.blockchain.com/wallet/forgot-password

It's possible that the banned user is interested in a service someone has posted about it and wants to use it. As the banned user needs to know if the announcement poster is trustworthy enough, he/she should be able to modify his/her trust list.

You can use blockchair.com. It shows the value of inputs and outputs at the time the transaction was made. It also calculates the "total spent" and the "total received" considering the value of the funds sent/received at the time of transactions.

Have to admit that there is a chance that I have changed the email account in BTT account some years ago (after there was some warnings or something).
In the case you have changed the email address associated with your bitcointalk account, you should see an email sent to your old email address regarding the email address change.

I only see LoyceV has data for trust list, not for trust feedback.
Wasn't Pmalek talking about stats on trust list changes? As far as I know, it's not possible for a banned user to leave a feedback at all. Correct me if I am wrong, please.

Yes, but why ? That the question of my post.
Because the seed phrase (whether it's BIP39 or an electrum's seed) has enough entropy and you can't brute force that. Because when I delete my wallet and recreate it from the seed (the 12 words), all the transactions appear as well as all the addresses with funds. That's what scares me.
That's exactly how it should work. And I do a brute force, and the brute script tells me that the words : word1 word2 word3 are a valid wallet, it's over ?
If you manage to brute-force someone's seed phrase, you can access the fund. But the problem is that you can't brute-force the seed phrase. Can you access a wallet if you brute-force its seed phrase? Yes. Can you brute-force a seed phrase without any information about that? No. What prevents a person from having access to the wallet?
Big entropy of the seed phrase.

Same company.
I am sure you are missing something. I just visited the website you bought bitcoin from to see how it works. According to what I read on the website, for withdrawing bitcoin, you have to send them an image to prove that you own the withdrawal address. How did you do the verification? Did you send an image from electrum watch-only wallet window? Didn't you send an image from exodus wallet? That may be why they referred to Exodus in their response.

There are not many words, 1625 is not much when you know the power of today's PCs.
Currently, electrum uses a list containing 2048 words. The list you are referring to is for the old version of electrum's seed phrase and contains 1626 words, not 1625. That's what I don't understand. If I test the combinations and find for example one that has funds, it's over for the portfolio, right?
If you find a seed phrase which belongs to a funded wallet, you can spend the fund. It would be easy to take 12 random words from the list of 1625 words and test and then repeat and that several times per second.
Whether there are 1626 words or 2048 words, it's impossible to access a funded wallet.

Take note you can't delete posts under few condition (such as thread or post on locked thread).
You can delete your post even if it's located on a locked thread. The limitation on locked threads is that you can't edit your posts.

Another comment in that thread has me confused, unless I'm missing something; a user mentioned that he no longer wants to use segwit addresses. Why?
Are you talking about the comment made by the user with the name of nbourbon? If so, I think he/she doesn't want to use segwit addresses just because he/she thinks that it's better to use taproot addresses. I don't think that's due to a flaw in segwit addresses. Maybe, that user doesn't know that with using taproot addresses instead of native segwit addresses, he/she will have to pay more fee for many of the transactions.

If you're using a non-custodial wallet and you have your passphrase in a safe location, that's it.
What you are talking about is called seed phrase, not passphrase. Passphrase is an extra word or characters added to your seed phrase for more security. the company to which the wallet belongs has zero access to your money.
You can't be sure of that if the wallet is close-source. For example, in a close-source non-custodial wallet like trustwallet, you have full control over your keys. But there is no way to know whether you are the only one who has access to the keys or not.
