I wasn't thinking exclusively about Ledger Live, but in general in the sense that someone wants to get rid of an old laptop or desktop computer on which they had some important data at any time. In this particular case, some information could be extracted from the disk, which could only be a threat to the OP's privacy.

What you are seeing is Total AdBlock, and it seems that some others have or had a similar problem with removal. Look again in plugins and check if you really removed that plugin, then check in Add/Remove Programs of your operating system (I assume you are using Windows) and if the program is listed there, remove it. Also, check in Chrome settings if these pop-ups are blocked.

When someone who does not know the basics of using the Internet asks a question like this, everything is more than clear. Even AI doesn't want to answer stupid questions, or is too stupid for an intelligent answer. Someone wrote a long time ago that Bitcoin is the smallest problem in the event that quantum computers become capable of breaking such encryption, because before BTC it would break everything else that is protected by various encryptions.

Your post history says the exact opposite -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3525757;sa=showPosts

Of course, it's safe if the whole thing works on the new device, in fact you made a wallet/s recovery and the old laptop can only represent an additional risk. In case you plan to sell or give that old laptop to someone, I would suggest that you format the disk and maybe even try to use some additional tools that can almost completely erase the data from the disk. I usually never sell or give away such sensitive things, regardless of all methods, today's technology can save data even from disks that look completely destroyed to someone.

The good old method is still physical destruction by breaking the disc into pieces (use protective equipment), then douse it with some flammable liquid and set it on fire, and scatter the remains in a landfill.

After all those epic failures with which you proved yourself to be a "top expert", this is another epic failure with which you will not achieve anything, let alone help someone. Can you play your children's games with the boys from the neighborhood?


Excellent advice, you advise people to wait for the price to be even higher before they start investing in Bitcoin What about your predictions that the price will stay below $22k or your claims that it will go below $15k?

I already wrote that I do not agree that we should put CBDC and Bitcoin in the same category of complexity, because digital fiat is nothing more than a visual display of one's funds in a government application - there are no fees, transactions are instant and there is no need to think too much. In addition, when the time comes for digital euros or US dollars, you will be able to pay with them anywhere, with Bitcoin this will probably never be the case.



Obsessive control of people and their actions in order to control the masses results in the fact that the CBDC starts from countries that have a deeply indoctrinated population, just as is the case with China and Russia. If you can sell a nation the story that Nazism is back and that they must go and liberate Europe, as was the case in World War II - then you can sell them anything, let alone digital fiat.

Even if they fall into some serious problems, it is unlikely that politics will let them fail just like that, because it is still a company of great importance for the US considering that it is globally positioned. What you say about the workers is unfortunately true, because there are so many stories about it online that one wonders if it is possible for such a company to actually profit from such massive exploitation of people all over the world. But they are not the only company that operates in such a way that people are consumables that they use in the way that suits them best.

We can debate whether Bitcoin has succeeded or not, but we cannot talk about Bitcoin succeeding in any way as you say "break the entire traditional system" because the percentage of people involved in Bitcoin in any way is less than 5% of the total world population. Realistically, maybe 1-2% even understand or use Bitcoin the way it should be, while for the majority it is just an investment like any other. Human perception of capital and value has unfortunately not changed much since the existence of Bitcoin and the vast majority of people still keep their value in the bank, stocks, bonds or gold.

It is not so important what people think of CBDC, it is more important how governments will gradually introduce it into the system. When (and if) classic FIAT is replaced by CBDC, people will have no other options (except BTC), and most of them do what the government suggests anyway. In countries like China, it is already a done deal, and I doubt that it would be difficult to implement the same thing in countries like India or Russia.

I am of the opinion that CBDC is still simpler than BTC, there is not much to understand except that you need an official government app and it all boils down to the send/receive button.

What do you get when you mix Powell and AI?  

Answer: A perfectly honest politician

There is always a simple solution for the government because they have mechanisms that can manage almost any situation. Printing money is the only thing that saves them at the moment, and they will do it regardless of what the implications are for ordinary people. I read that many, including Powell himself, knew what was happening in SVB even 1 year ago, but they did not do anything, as if it was more convenient for them to have what is happening today.

I don't want to get into any conspiracy theories, but I think that in high politics and business, nothing happens by chance. In that case, we have to ask ourselves what is the ultimate goal of everything that has been happening in the last 4-5 years?

It would be good if you check which firmware version you have on the Nano S, because such an old device probably has a firmware version that cannot be upgraded. Practically, it is a device that may be completely unusable because it cannot work with Ledger Live, and most likely not even with Electrum, not to mention outdated coin apps that would represent a security risk even if you could connect the device with some software.

---

It is always recommended to have the latest Ledger Live before a firmware upgrade, and even if the OP tries with some older versions, he probably won't be able to upgrade a device with such old firmware. There is only one way to find out the answer to that question.

It seems to me that the wives of many forum members will be angry, and their mothers-in-law will not be thrilled that their sons-in-law are gambling with their wives' money. Recently, a member announced that he was going to sell his wife's jewelry to invest in Bitcoin, which is perhaps a little less risky than what the OP is doing.

If you take $200 and try to trade with it, you will probably lose it or make a minimal profit, but if you invest that same money in Bitcoin, you might double or triple it in the near future (1-2 years).

Some would say "nothing new in the West", except perhaps that this time all that money will be used to save the banks in order to prevent a repeat of the crisis that arose after 2008. As much as some are surprised that the US government stood behind all deposits in all banks as a guarantee, I wonder if they had any other choice at all? Of course, they could act selectively or not act at all, but that would certainly cause a domino effect and the collapse of dozens of US banks in the first wave, and then the spillover of the crisis to other markets.

The situation in the EU is currently stable (at least that's what they say), but the Swiss case is a clear example that even the best in business can mess up. Regardless of all the guarantees, no one should feel safe keeping their money in the bank, but most people simply don't know any better than that. Bitcoin is an alternative, but most authorities will do everything to make it an alternative for a very small number of people.

You can speculate on the price of BTC, but you cannot be sure that it will not be worth more than $150k or that it will reach less than $100k. No matter how much you rely on past performance and patterns, the fact is that emerging factors such as pandemic, war and inflation along with the recent failures of large banks can significantly affect the global market, which includes the price of Bitcoin.


Look, I'm not saying that you can't profit from trading with altcoins, but that it's about the fact that there are fast pump&dump schemes where you have to react quickly. The fact that overall you are in a loss of 10% while Bitcoin went from $15k+ to $28k+ in just a few months speaks for itself. If you really aim for profits of x20 and more, then you have no choice but to look for an alternative to Bitcoin.

I personally doubt that any of the currently active managers will decide to increase pay rates even close to what CM was paying, or in other words, to suggest it to a potential new advertiser. The standards have long been set, and the question arises, why pay someone more if he agrees to less?


Some may try it, but it is not against the rules of the forum to have multiple accounts and participate with them in different signature campaigns. Of course, there are those who work against the rules, but that is something that has always existed.


What has changed compared to the past is that today we only have two types of advertising, one is mixing, and the other is gambling. About 6-7 years ago, there were several different businesses that used signature campaigns for their advertising.

You have a good memory, I wrote it more than half a year ago, but I still think that every member should stick to it, because otherwise you could get into big trouble. Campaigns come and go, today they are still possible, but tomorrow they may be banned.


That's a long time, which can seem even longer if rank is your only goal. However, merits will be a much bigger obstacle for the majority, especially if there are less and less active merit sources that will reward quality posts.

This one seems even braver than the old John McAfee, who once advertised himself with the same speculations, and we know how that ended. I'm not sure how this bet works, but does that mean whoever wants this bet needs to have $1 million? To me, it seems like some kind of game for the rich, and for them that amount is obviously insignificant enough to gamble away it in this way.

No matter how euphoric and fanatical you are when it comes to BTC, that price can be reached in 90 days only if some big central banks and rich investors start buying BTC en masse and cause mass madness and FOMO that we have never had the opportunity to experience.

I was wondering when your next topic that starts with "have been in crypto just over x days, months..." will appear. Given that you always ask similar questions, the conclusion is that no one gave you a good enough answer or you did not understand what we were answering.


Only 10% considering that you invested 70% in altcoins? Consider yourself lucky that this percentage is not even higher, because most altcoins are completely meaningless and lose value even when the price of BTC rises. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you should invest 100% in Bitcoin, but that you are taking a much greater risk by investing in altcoins.


x10 to today's BTC price? I won't say it's impossible, but that would mean 1 BTC would be worth $280 000, and the last big bull run only pushed the price up about x3.5 from the previous ATH ($20 000 - 2017). I personally don't expect the price to go that high, but that's just my opinion and it doesn't have to be correct at all.

If in the end you successfully received the transaction, then without any doubt your "delay" has to do with the fact that you are using a non-custodial wallet. With the custodial wallet (if it is synced with the network) you will see the sent transaction almost instantly. I recommend you to change your wallet, because every customer will not feel comfortable if you doubt whether they have made a payment or not.

Use the exchange for what it is intended for, not like some kind of bank account, this is not only the wrong approach, but as you yourself have seen, it can create very unpleasant situations.
