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). |

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  We're also working on accessories for our next device for these very reasons. Excited to announce it all when the time is right  Now you got me interested, just don't go with BlackBerry style device please  |

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. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/trezor-controls-its-silicon-chip-supply-chain |

After he use that to create a paper wallet, he will format the phone again.
Dude, phone can't be a paper... ever. 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. https://aantonop.com/product/mastering-bitcoin-2nd-edition-ebook/ |

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 |

There are two crypto ATMs listed on the website Coinatmradar for the city Tokyo. Does anyone have more information on these machines?
There are more places you can find Bitcoin ATM machines for exchanging Bitcoin or purchasing goods with Bitcoin in Japan. Try to search your location in coinmap.org website, it is showing much more places in Tokyo that support Bitcoin. On different website coinatmfinder.com I see 4 Bitcoin ATM locations in Tokyo. However, I don't have any additional information about them related with fees, limits, identification, etc. Sources I used: https://coinmap.org/https://www.coinatmfinder.com/bitcoin-atm-location/JapanEDIT: One more useful source map and app you can use for finding places for spending Bitcoin in Japan: https://btcmap.org/ |

 Pocket Science? First time I hear about that, but it must be something related with thieves and criminals who are stealing stuff from people pockets... it's science for pockets. Now comes the twist, I search for term Pocket Science, and there is actual company with that same name, and Pocket Science myth.  PS Would you guys please stop bumping this topic, and moderators please lock it. |

I don't know the reason for this user selling his newbie account which previously looked like it belonged to a project representative on the forum. A while ago there was a signature campaign about them on the forums, but it was only for a week before it was finally put on pause.
Maybe because on our conversation I told him the truth about his solana shitchain stopping all the time, and he couldn't handle the truth So I don't think they will be banned for trying to sell their account. Maybe if they are spamming.
Nobody said they should be banned for selling his account, but he literally turned all his previous posts in spam fest with editing and adding same sentence, that is definition for spam. I see moderators deleted most of his posts, but few of them are still visible, so maybe they can edit them and return original text from archive. |

One of the most valid criticisms of Bitcoin is that it reduces the ability of the Unite States to sanction enemies of the West
Oh please... give me a break  There is no East or West, they are all political puppet controlled by small group of people, and we should all be aware of that after things that happened in last few years and decades. Military industrial complex machinery is running full steam and I only see paid people putting more gasoline on this wild fire. Bitcoin can be used by anyone without limits, and sanctions are not doing anything btw, they made much more damage to the ''West''. All this circus reminds me a lot on George Orwell's book (and movies) 1984, with Oceania ''fighting'' Eurasia, and in reality few rich lunatics are in war with majority of regular people. The US is the military arm of the WEF, and as such is one of the greatest enemies of freedom. Bitcoin gives us the chance to resist the banking oligarchs, who are seeking to restrict our freedom.
I could be wrong, but I think they are still allowing us to play with Bitcoin until they release their stupid CBDC crap. For some people it will be easier to accept that slave CBDC money, now when they got used to Bitcoin and QR codes. Again, I hope I am wrong... but let's check back on this post in 5 or 7 yearsm, and see if I was wrong. |

Decrypt just released first in-depth review of new Ledger Stax hardware wallet that is showing most we saw so far, but I am not sure if this is paid or sponsored review. Funny enough they didn't like ledger's E-ink display (I like it btw) because it can't be fully used to display NFT's in full color, and with right they say that some users don't like wireless protocol for communicating with other devices. I expected to see more from this review, maybe comparison with older ledger wallets or showing other improvements or weak points, but whatever. https://decrypt.co/122367/ledger-stax-hands-on-review-hardware-wallet-ipod-design-flourishes |

I just notice that member GodsOfSolana edited ALL of his previous messages with text '' account for sale'' This shitcoiner is blatantly advertising he is selling his worthless newbie account and he is spamming forum in this process. This is GodsOfSolana account: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3535503Archived posts: https://ninjastic.space/search?author=GodsOfSolanaI think he should be permanently banned from bitcointalk forum, or at least all his messages should be all deleted by moderators. I did report some of his posts but I had to create this topic to get more attention from mods and to hear oppinion from other members.
Topic is self-moderated for obvious reasons. |

And if you like the project, please support it by buying your next Bitcoin book through the website so we get a small commission on the sales . Your project looks cool, but Bitcoin books should have the option to be purchased with Bitcoin directly, not only to pay Amazon and fill pockets of Jeff Bezos. Maybe you can add additional option with alternative like BTCPayServer, if book creators accept BTC payments, and i am sure some of them accept it. It's cool that you are accepting donations both in BTC and in Lightning Network. EDIT: Amazon gift cards paid with Bitcoin could work as alternative, but I prefer direct BTC payments. |

Scammers never sleep Few day ago in one of my temporary email addresses I received this two messages from fake Trezor with similar content, but it was obvious to me so I didn't click anything and I permanently deleted both of them. I think this is not connected with any Trezor leak, but to some other crypto service... so they are using any crypto leak hoping that people are using hardware wallets. |

I have just participated in this market a few recent months and begin with some BTC. I am saving them in my cold wallet and I'm wondering how to bridge my BTC to another chains such as Ethereum, Polygon to get more profit from Defi. Please help me and give me some good ways (reasonable cost and safe) to do that. Thank all!
Don't do this! Any token that has bitcoin name is not real bitcoin, and has some peg that can be broken. Moving Bitcoin to other shitcoin chains you are making it full centralized and controlled by few people who can make your new token worthless. Just looks what is constantly happening to Solana shitchain, and people are still using this shit, Binance chain is no better and runned by CZ and few of his friends. There is also a risk you could face soon with regulations, because everything else except Bitcoin is going to be considered as security. |

Also, CZ should start asking for assistance from his backers from China.
CZ is looking more and more like a convict from Chinese prison with this new haircut and fake smile. I don't think his friends can help him this time. This was kinda expected after everything that has happened lately with Paxos and BUSD. I mean, even CZ announced that Binance will simply have to move away from BUSD eventually so no surprise that their biggest competition is already doing that, especially since they have their own stablecoin. I think Coinbase exchange will have big problems in future with shitcoin securities, so this BUSD doesn't mean anything if we look at bigger picture. Regulators are probably going to target all stablecoins in near future, maybe because they are making move for introducing of their CBDC slave currencies. We are in big trouble if people don't realize this on time.... because you obviously wont be able to buy and sell anything without that junk.  |

What does the community think of when it is appropriate to use ChipMixer? What is the best way to reduce risk while taking all parties on the other end of the chain, who may not be focusing on decentralization and privacy? Does the team have official responses to these questions?
You can use ChipMixer anyway you want, but my suggestion is to try and avoid using them in combination with big centralized exchanges. There are even cases of people sending coins to Binance and Coinbase without any issues, but I heard cases of frozen and lost coins, so it can be a risk. If you are using coins from ChipMixer for direct payment or for trading with someone p2p you should be just fine with almost everything. is it the site is down?
It's down for me as well. I suspect that is because of constant ddos attacks, but I am sure the are working to fix this so just be patient and wait for official CM reply. |

Ik It's not the actual proof, As I mentioned earlier they have the same address of that mobile application
Address they used is the same like on that shady Payday website from Nigeria, 256 Chapman Road, but posting first few digits could be helpful for finding more information about this scammer. I am expecting from all other affected members to post this, so we can collect all information that could be useful for finding this scammer. Setup a business. Get a credit card from a company that allows unlimited employee cards that you can set limits on. Charge people for the card (profit), give a crappy exchange rate for the BTC -> fiat load (more profit), then set the limit of the card to that. And take the rewards / cashback that the card offers (even more profit).
Obviously all the KYC would go back the the business, but does that really matter?
It could work in theory, and I think some of the alternative cards are doing something similar. Potential issue could arrise if banks notice something suspicious with transactions and block or ban accounts. Fresh news from Mastercard and Visa - they are freezing all activities related with blockchain and crypto partnership until new regulation is better clarified: https://cointelegraph.com/news/visa-and-mastercard-halt-new-crypto-partnerships-report |

If necroposting isn't allowed to prevent spamming why aren't very old threads lock? Answering something years after other member asked a question is stupid and clear case of necroposting. Original topics doesn't have to be locked at all, unless original author decides he wants to do that, or if topic turns into spam fest that can result in moderator locking it. If I come across an old thread from 2021 and I think I have new input to contribute, would do you advice me to start a new thread instead of bumping the old one?
It depends from case to case, and there is no universal answer for this question. |

cijenim tvoje mišljenje, ali moram te ispraviti u ovom slučaju. Istina je da sam u posljednje vrijeme manje aktivan na forumu, ali to je samo zbog mojih drugih obaveza, a ne zbog nedostatka interesa za lokalnu zajednicu ili zbog moje trenutne sig. kampanje (koja broji i lokalne postove, btw).
O dobro je, a počeo sam se malo brinuti da nisi slučajno ostao trudan i FatterFork Ovo je bio moj način da ti kažem da je perfect time ža ažuriranje tvojih tema, a i malo kritike ponekad nije loše. Čuda naprave, jel to sve od forumaša napravljeno ili neki third party?
Sve je od forumaša, BPIP strainca je originalno ideja člana Vod, ali su je preuzeli ibminer i suchmoon, a Nijnastic.space je napravio TryNinja. |
