Mene samo zanima kako će netko kontrolirat Bitcoin
Možda ne mogu potpunosti kontrolirati Bitcoin, ali mogu kontrolirati internet i koliko je 1 BTC u fiat valutama (cbdc) Wink

Jedino ne znam što ćemo kad ukinu keš, al brži smo i pametniji od njih pa ćemo nešto već smisliti.
Vidiš da počinju sa uvođenjem CBDC u svim zemljama, a to znači da je ukidanje keša blizu, osim ako ljudi ozbiljno ne odbiju to planirano sranje.
Ako misliš da ima još ima vremena, pročitaj malo novosti iz Nigerije koja je prva zemlja koja je ukinula normalni keš i uvela eNiara CBDC... onda su se ljudi pobunili pa su morali štampati novi keš koji je povezan sa eNaira CBDC.
Ako nema keša ljudi mogu koristiti i druge proizvode, nešto što ljudi koriste svaki dan.

What do you think would be the safest hardware wallets?
There is no one universally best and safest hardware wallet in the world, and you can always find good and bad things in all of them.
I would generally avoid any closed source hardware wallets devices like ledger or safepal, and I would look something that has regular updates.

If you are only need wallet for Bitcoin than Foundation Passport is good option, but it is more expensive than others.
ColdCard is not really open source anymore now it has common clause license, and it can be used only for Bitcoin like Passport.
BitBox02 wallet is fine open source wallet, but it's not exactly my top choice.

The coldcard is also not included in the list, apparently coldcard is not that trustworthy
You literally wrote ''cold card'' in your list:

For me it would be
cold card
BitBox02
Foundation Device and OneKey

I just did my first every lightning network payment from a smartphone wallet to a desktop wallet ( 2 different wallets, muun and phoenix )
Can you please clarify what desktop wallet you used exactly for lightning transactions, since Muun and Phoenix are both mobile only wallets?
Maybe it's possible to install them on computer using some Android emulator, but that is not exactly what you would call a desktop wallet.

2444  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Doing some work for Saxydev, Earned $90 but Never received the Payment.  on: March 03, 2023, 02:57:09 PM
but you still haven't provided any valid proof of payment, neither publicly nor in a private message to a trusted DT member.
You can clearly see this guy has some kind of mental illness that creates a lot of vulgar insults, lies and stupid posts, so I think it's time for moderators to react and clean the junk.
This clown turned everything into circus show with his recent posts, fake scam accusations, personal insults and he didn't provide a single proof of payment.
2445  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Electrum Wallet + BitBox02 on: March 03, 2023, 02:40:43 PM
I would like to connect my Electrum wallet to a BitBox02 to be safer.
If I lose my BitBox in the future and the seeds from the BitBox as well, are my coins always gone on the Electrum Wallet?
Or can I just restore my Electrum wallet with the seeds and just connect a new BitBox to it?
With BitBox device you can connect their native Bitbox app, Electrum wallet, Sparrow wallet, etc.  but keys (seed) are never moved from secure element chip that is in BitBox device, and they are always offline.
If you lost your BitBox device, and you lost your seed backup that is written on paper or metal (that should always be kept separated), than you can't restore your coins anymore.
Be careful experimenting with keys and stuff like multisig setup.

The coins are still on the seed of the BitBox because Electrum only serves as an interface
Correct.
Unless you leak it yourself, send it to some suspicious website, or keep it in digital form on your computer... you should never do this.
2446  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Multisig Wallet 2 of 3 on: March 03, 2023, 02:28:30 PM
Do I only need the 3 seeds of the hardware wallet to restore the wallet, or do I also need the master public keys?
I don't know for all hardware wallets, but I know that for Blockstream Jade you need both recovery phrase and xpub to restore your wallet.
Ledger and Trezor are not great for multisig setup, or they didn't fully support it when I last checked, so I would be very careful whit devices you going to use.

To sign I would then need 2 of 3 of the HWW,
but to restore I need all 3 seeds right?
Or are 2 out of 3 enough to restore the wallet ?
Yes, with two keys you can spend keys, and there is no single point of failure, but you need to have all three to restore (unless you have xpub from the lost key).

Is it also possible to create a 2 of 3 multisig with the Bitcoin Core wallet?
I would generally not recommend doing this, unless you are already running Bitcoin node 24/7.
If not than you will have to wait for days for blockchain to download and wallet to sync, not ideal situation when you want to make multisig transaction,
2447  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Security feature will still work as intended? on: March 03, 2023, 02:11:24 PM
will the hardware wallet not feel concerned...
...crypto wallets aren't supposed to feel or have feelings.  
You can import seed words from hot wallet to hardware wallet if you are stupid enough to do it... I don't see any good reason for that when you can just send coins to new address.
There is a reason why hardware wallets are more secure because keys are stored offline and they never gets exposed to internet, unless you leak them yourself.

PS
As for crypto wallet feelings and concerns... this is not a circus, so if you continue making comments and posts like this I will have to start reporting them to moderators and put you on my ignore list.

I received partial card numbers in personal message from guy that was scammed by CoinPayCard and I did basic search to find more information about Bank and issuer.
Here is short initial summary I was able to found so far:

Issuer/Bank exact name is: Private Bank & Trust Co
This is actual company with address: 920 S Waukegan Rd Ste 100, Lake Forest, IL 60045
Phone number registered to Alan H Kohn: (847) 482-8100
Official websites theprivatebank.com and privatebankandtrust.com are down for me.

This is their page on Bloomberg website that confirms they are operating as bank:
https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/0799354D:US#xj4y7vzkg?leadSource=uverify%20wall

Stay tuned, I am digging to find more information and connections.
You are free to add anything you find yourself.



EDIT:
CoinPayCard account was online in forum on March 1st, so he is well aware of everything:

2449  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano X Battery Circus on: March 02, 2023, 08:14:19 PM
Whenever I think I heard everything I need to know about ledger nono X hardware wallet, something new pops up to show how bad this device is.
We all heard about  screen issues with older model S that is not manufactured anymore, but model X have their own design flows related with screen.
If you often open and move metallic part screen will be scratched a lot and hard to read like in this examples:


https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/11dy997/flaw_with_the_ledger_x_design/

My suggestion is first not to buy ledger X for reasons I wrote in this topic, but if you already purchased it than do not remove screen protective foil (if there is one).
It is also possible to remove the metal clip and bend the metal to reduce scratches but be careful while doing this.
I am sure ledger is well aware of this crap design, that is why they made corrections with model S plus.



2450  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Alby a legitimate extension for lightning network usage? on: March 02, 2023, 07:55:28 PM
Is anyone aware of the risks of this extension, or has pursued studies on its reliability and excluded the possibility of scams?
I never used Alby myself so I can't vouch for anything, but I know people who use it for many months without any issues.
Alby is open source so any developer can inspect code and see if there are any potential flaws or bugs, but I am excluding possibility of scam.
They are very active on social media so you can contact them with your concerns, they can provide you better explanations for your questions.
2451  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: My PC cannot detect my ledger through electrum. on: March 02, 2023, 07:34:07 PM
I don't want to try anything else without someone else's input here. Anyone else have had this problem before?
Thousands of people have many issues with ledger nono X, it's one of the worst hardware wallets in the world.
Most problems are coming from bad battery and firmware issues, but in your case I would first make to sure to have latest firmware update and Bitcoin app in ledger live.
Ledger recently released new update and they changed a bunch of things, app size increased again for some coins (surprise, surprise).
If everything is updated I would try connecting with some alternative software wallets that support ledger, for example Sparrow wallet.
2452  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Which best for long term investment? Hardware wallet or Software wallet . on: March 02, 2023, 07:21:53 PM
I don't have any money to buy hardware. So I suggest using a software wallet.  However, I have no idea which wallet to use will provide the most security. So tell me a bit about what is a strong and security complete wallet?
If you have money to buy smartphone than I don't understand how you can't have much less money for purchasing hardware wallet.
Software wallets can never be safer than good hardware wallets, except if you are using them correctly on airgapped laptop, that is very unlikely for people who don't have money.

Theoretically speaking, a hardware wallet has more attack vectors than a software wallet, however that entirely depends on how you intend to use it.
What?!  Cheesy
No, hardware wallets don't have more attack vectors, because their only purpose is to work with cryptocurrency transactions.
Software wallets are installed on multi-purpose devices like computers or smartphones that by definition have multiple time more attacks vectors than hardware wallets.
Not to mention all the risk with malware, viruses, keyloggers, internet connection, and bunch of other issues that don't exist on good hardware wallets.
2453  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do you know which Bitcoin wallets provides complete anonymity & privacy? on: March 02, 2023, 05:13:31 PM
Why use the second best wallet when the first one exists?
Roll Eyes
If you have the ability to fully read my previous message than you will see the reasons I stated why I recommended Sparrow wallet, in some areas it is better than Electrum wallet.
It is totally related to question Elevates asked about privacy, and I don't think further explanation is needed at all.
2454  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do you know which Bitcoin wallets provides complete anonymity & privacy? on: March 02, 2023, 03:44:24 PM
If you are concerned about privacy I would suggest to check open source desktop wallet called Sparrow.
This is probably second best Bitcoin wallet after Electrum, and it has support for Tor, Paynyms, Coinjoin with Whirlpool, support for hardware wallets, strong encryption, etc.
https://sparrowwallet.com/

For mobile wallet Unstoppable wallet is decent choice, it's open source, has Tor support and it respects privacy:
https://unstoppable.money/

Wallets that support Lightning Network and some second layer privacy solutions (Mercury Wallet) can also be consider good for privacy.
2455  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do you buy a hardware wallet from unsupported location on: March 02, 2023, 03:34:06 PM
1. Is it safe to ship the hardware wallet to my cousin in the UK and he will send it back to me in Nigeria or this is a good idea? I read that it's safer to buy from official than going to third-party store,  I don't want something malicious inserted in the hardware wallet,  waiting for my first deposit into the wallet.
It should be sure if he makes a purchase for hardware wallet from official shop or from UK resellers, and then send you the unopened package.
Anything can happen in customs, but you can always confirm if wallet is authentic or not, and generate brand new seed words for your wallet.
You can also make your own alternative DIY signing device (krux, seegsigner, diy trezor), or you can use old smartphone as offline wallet (if you remove sim card and turn on airplane mode).
2456  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Foundation Passport Official Thread on: March 01, 2023, 08:47:44 PM
We've tested extensively for durability in-house, and one of the reasons we went with the metal frame was to provide drop resistance. The combination of plastic shell + metal frame protect the screen/keys/camera module very well from their functionality being harmed.
So you didn't experience any serious damage to screen or vital parts of devices during this durability testing?
It would be cool if you could reveal more information about that, but I understand if it's only for internal use.
I think we need to have some guy like JerryRigEverything (check out his youtube channel) but only for testing hardware wallets  Cheesy

We're also working on accessories for our next device for these very reasons. Excited to announce it all when the time is right Smiley
Now you got me interested, just don't go with BlackBerry style device please  Wink
2457  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Secure Element in Hardware Wallets on: March 01, 2023, 08:41:11 PM
More good news coming from Trezor related with microchips they are using.
They started manufacturing their own key component chip wrapper for Trezor model T, that improves security and shortens times for mass production.
I think this is all very important for their new hardware wallet model, that is going to be something special with Tropic01 secure element, and it could reduce price for their devices.

2458  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Paper wallet on Android phone on: March 01, 2023, 08:08:47 PM
After he use that to create a paper wallet, he will format the phone again.
Dude, phone can't be a paper... ever.  Smiley
He can use his old phone (or cheap laptop) as offline wallet and that will work just fine in most cases, it's enough to reset the phone, and install one Bitcoin wallet app.
Then he should remove sim card, turn of wifi and bluetooth, and enable airplane mode, and use QR codes for communication with other devices.
Some people are going extra measure and they are removing components from phones, but I don't think that is needed.

Better option than old smartphone are hardware wallets, he can make his own DIY signing device that are very cheap (starting from few $) or buy official hardware wallet devices (starting from $50).
There are even hardware wallets in form of credit cards, that are cheap and very secure, they can be used in combination with smatphones for making transactions.

Maybe contact the book authors that also sell their books with BTC already? That leaves only a few books.
First step would be to contact authors of books you have on your website.
Since you are giving them free promotion you can ask them to send you their BTC addresses for payment and they can send books directly to buyers.
For every sold book from your website you could receive small percentage payment, similar like with referral codes.
I said previously there are Amazon cards that are sold for Bitcoin, you can also sell this cards on your website for indirect payment of those books.

You could also add separate section for Bitcoin e-books.
For example Andreas Antonopoulos is selling his e-book Mastering Bitcoin, and he is accepting payment in Bitcoin directly, using BTCPay server or Coinbase.

2460  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance - where is it located? on: March 01, 2023, 02:33:55 PM
How does a company like Binance pay taxes (if at all?) and under which law are they to respond to any disbutes?
We know for sure that Binance US is located in United States, they pay taxes and all other stuff in US, but this was created in 2019 and they exist much longer.

Coingecko website is showing that original Binance exchange is using Cayman Islands location, probably to pay less taxes and avoid regulations.
CoinMarketCap (that is owend by Binance) and they are not saying anything about current location, but we know that it was founded in China

It's much easier to find out where CZ is currently located, and if he is in China than Binance exchange is also in China  Wink
