The only problem Ledger had recently was in the synchronization of Ethereum accounts with their servers. It was much slower compared to other assets. It affected sending and receiving of ETH and Ethereum tokens. That was fixed in the most recent LL update.
Are you sure about that?
This is what their official Ledger Support posted recently, and it was affecting everyone who use Ledger Live app for Bitcoin, eth, sol and near (whatever that is).
It's possible they fixed some problems, but there was a whole thread with instructions how to downgrade, wait to sync, and do bunch of gymnastics.


https://nitter.net/Ledger_Support/status/1626142335636500480#m

Honestly, I'd just recommend changing from ledger. They aren't exactly the most decorated in terms of trust or technology.
If someone is using hardware wallet for shitcoins than I guess it's ok to use ledger, but developers are wasting a lot of time fixing shitcoin issues like I posted above all the time.

I was quite intrigued by it due to the display and QR but what's with those dimensions, for real 4 inches wide? Hope it's not a trend and we're not going from wallets you can tuck in your pocket or hide beside flash drives to things the size of a tablet.
I don't know if you saw image I posted with Coldcard Q1 next to the model mk4 and laptop... but this is huge device, and I think we need to have a small backpack to carry this device outside.
Coldcard didn't release exact dimensions anywhere so we don't know the final looks, but that backside with batteries looks very thick like a brick.
Did anyone found exact dimension for Coldcard Q1 or maybe NVK can tell us this little ''secret''.

But, lets face it. All their previous ones did not come with cables either so it's not like anything changed with that. All you got was the unit in a bag.
I can clearly see on Coinkite website that Uncle Jim's Bundle and KISB Guide Bundle are available now, and they all include USB-C cables.
They are also selling power only USB-C cables separately for $16.99  Roll Eyes
2544  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Serously You Label Your Metal Seed Storage Plate?? on: February 18, 2023, 10:37:28 PM
I just noticed that Keystone and a few others actually have their name on the seed plate
I had one similar seed phrase backup and I don't like that system Keystone is using, with separate letters and screws.
Yes it's stainless steel, but in Jameson Lopp testing this kind of metal backup plates never got higher grade ratings.

Why don't you just put a layer of bright orange enamel on the outside and print valuable stuff inside on it.

OK, I think it's a bit much to have your logo on something that is supposed to be safe / hidden while holding something valuable.
I just bought one for a friend and saw the logo and was thinking WTF???
What did you expect to receive?
You are not going to receive blank plate when you are purchasing accessories from brand hardware wallet, but I think you can easily use sand paper for that or permanent market.
However, it's much better to purchase regular stainless steel washers, add your own seed words and pay ten times less money.

I am not advertising anything, but OneKey is offering interesting and unique aircraft-grade titanium alloy based solution, that only have only minimal logo that looks like 01.

2545  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Is Metal Seed Storage Safe in an Earthquake? on: February 18, 2023, 10:28:23 PM
I keep them in a waterproof and fireproof notebook, but is there any proof of the efficiency of this Metal Seeds and/or notebooks with earthquakes? Does it bear the violent shocks?
It depends what type of metal you are using, but good stainless steel washers or thick plate blocks will withstand earthquakes, water and high temperatures.
Notebooks and laptops can survive only if you are using quality military protection brands like Thinkpad for example, but I can't be 100% sure what will happen f building crumbles.
Good Thinkpads are known to survive fire, water and fall on ground, but I wouldn't keep digital seed phrase in any laptop.

What are the solutions, in your opinion, if an earthquake occurs? Or in other words, the best solution if you are in an area active in earthquakes and tsunamis.
Best protection is to use passphrase and distribute seed phrase backups in multiple locations, cities or even countries, and multisig setup is  best for larger amount of coins.

Compering Lauda with escrow.ms is only viable with the feedback of their trust page. I don't think the OP was talking about only the feedback page but the whole escrow.ms thing. Lauda banned herself and wanted to disappear with her own will. If she would not decide to disappear then she would still thrive.
Lauda asked to be banned after he was exposed for plagiarism that ruined his reputation, and he is a male but you can call him it if you want.
Punishment for multiple cases of plagiarism is permaban so he decided to perform hara-kiri.

I fully agree with you here. It is, indeed, a lot of obsolete information... But this would also imply an entire campaign from administration for revamping all these topics and I am not sure if anyone would be willing to do this entire work. Instead, what I proposed was referring only to a part of the whole which needs revamping, thus being a little easier to achieve.
But we the people (members) can report all sticky topics that are obsolete and outdated, and this is not so hard to accomplish.
I am sure we can find plenty of volunteers for this work and for editing or rewriting this topics.

The way DT is these days, it's entirely possible that there could eventually be a - sticky topic on nearly every board. Scammers make DT every month and their inclusions then make DT2 leading to lots of new/old tags that will be visible on trust scores.
DT coalition is sadly on life support currently.  Tongue

My opinion, as long as the information is valid, why mess with it? The easier solution if anything might be to remove trust scores on sticky topics.
Most sticky topics in Beginners & Help section has outdated information.
Imagine recommending someone Bitcoin wallets with topic that was not updated for years, or checking How to earn Bitcoins topic, and this is just a few examples.
Trust feedback is important, but I think it's time to check and clean up all stickies.

Hvala Rikaf1p za još jednu lokalnu analizu!

Jesam probao na par njih ali bez uspjeha za sada, obidjem bounties jednom dnevno da vidim ima li sta novo... Bice nesto prije ili kasnije. Gledam isto da krenem nesto ozbiljnije neku temu na forumu za svoju dusu ali samo da sam sa sobom kristalizujem pa ce biti i od toga nesto.
Malo sam pogledao tvoje postove na Ninjastic stranici i mislim da moraš malo više pisati van Altcoin sekcije ako hoćeš da te neki menadžer uzme u obzir malo ozbiljnije.
Može to biti Gambling sekcija ili nešto vezano za Bitcoin, Beginners and Help, Meta, Marketplace, itd pronađi nešto što te zanima.
Većina menadžera gleda analizu tvojih postova i sekcija za bilo koju kampanju, pa pokušaj ovo poboljšati, i zaboravi na 99% altcoins kampanja.

I'm pretty sure this won't fly at all in the EU. 🤷‍♂️
Yes they will fly and create so much waste and evil pollution with plane fuel burning... but I guess only usbc cables are creating waste in the world.  Cheesy

ok to play the devil's advocate - you get the usb-c cable with the coldcard. What good does it do with your lightning port iphone exactly?
Nothing, who said it has anything to do with iPhones?
Comparing smartphones that are sold in billions for decades I can somehow agree with their shitty tactics of removing chargers and cables in recent years.
But Coldcard is selling few hundred devices max, and they are already removing essential stuff for functioning of their devices.
I don't know any other hardware wallet brand that is doing this right now, so I have to criticize this stupid move.
2550  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: New HW wallet announced: COLDCARD Q1 on: February 17, 2023, 07:05:26 PM
At least in the EU apple is forced to switch to usb-c. Weather their shitty lightning through usb-c implementation will actually support data transfer on these devices - probably not because earning money through licencing lightning is too good of a deal for them - is a thing you should take up with apple.
Dream on and read the latest news about that iPhone topic.
They are planning to introduce payment charges fee and verification for this special cables, so you won't be able to use your universal usb-c type cable  Cheesy
Note that I am not a fan of iPhone at all, just trying to provide evidence that billions of people wont be able to use new coldcard device without paying extra money for new cable and new batteries.
Btw coldcard is based in Canada, that is North America, not EU.
2551  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Why doesn't every hardware wallet support two-factor seed phrases? on: February 17, 2023, 07:01:56 PM
notice i was referring to splitting up the passphrase not the seed phrase. two different things. splitting up the passphrase would still provide - could still provide - plausible deniability. you would just need to remember which part came first.
This is not a good idea, and remember that this is not ultimate protection for your assets, that can be brute force attacked, and keeping anything in your brain/memory is highly unreliable thing.
Please don't come up with this ''revolutionary'' splitting techniques for anything, because many security experts say that this is recipe for disaster.
People who are trying to make stuff to complex usually end up losing access to stuff they are trying to hide.
 
2552  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: New HW wallet announced: COLDCARD Q1 on: February 17, 2023, 06:52:48 PM
it's usb-c, it's quite the standard these days.
I guess iPhone users are screwed than and they can't use new coldcard wallet, but I guess that is nothing...''only'' around billion people use iPhone devices right now... especially in North America.

We need to progress past triple A's I think, and establish a slightly better, at least bigger capacity battery. I've used 18650s for a lot of things, and they function decently well for most things. Aren't as common as your double A's, and triple A's though. However, they aren't some specialised hardware, and can be picked up relatively cheaply, and easily from a variety of places.
I agree, especially when we have examples what happened with Foundation Passport and Keystone essential.
When you are not shipping device with batteries it's just another way to cut on production cost, that is something coldcard is trying to do with upcoming device.
It's much better strategy that Passport used in their new device, using the same rechargeable battery that was used in old Nokia phones.
2553  Other / Meta / Re: The curious case of sticky topics created by authors with negative Trust on: February 17, 2023, 06:42:52 PM
Opinions?
How about banned members with negative trust?
Lauda also had negative trust even before he left the forum and got banned, other members found some cases when he did plagiarism in his early days, but I think we have several sticky topics from him.
Some of them can be found in Beginners & Help, others in our local board, and maybe there are other stickies I didn't notice.

I have nothing against members you mentioned in your example, but maybe it's time to check again all sticky topics and update what is needed.
It's not only issue with negative trust, but I think some topics are really outdated and others need to be deleted.

2554  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Trezor T showing wrong balance? on: February 17, 2023, 05:14:50 PM
I have a Trezor T model connected to the suite. It works but I have a problem with the balance showing a different amount to blockchain explorers. I have a extra 0.0042 in my account on my Trezor but I have checked all addresses and I only have 1 address with Bitcoin in it and that is the one that is displaying around 0.0042 more. What am I missing?
Did you check what Bitcoin amount is exactly showing on Trezor Suite app?
I wouldn't trust all bitcoin explorers (mempool.space is not bad), and maybe there are some unconfirmed transactions or change addresses that are not shown.
Maybe try to to reset and resync of Trezor Suite, and install latest version v23.2.1

I have not touched this wallet in a while and I am worried that it might have been compromised. I have updated the firmware today and it is still showing the same 0.0042 difference. Should I try sending some btc to a address to confirm that my trezor is working? and has not been compromised and showing a wrong balance because it has been hacked?
Compromised how exactly?
You can easily check you addresses and see if there are any outgoing transactions, and I hope you didn't enter your seed phrase on some shady websites.
Using Trezor wallet I would suggest using passphrases that are not stored anywhere for better protection of your coins.

I find it hard to believe that my hardware wallet has been hacked because it has not been accessed since creation. The seed was created at initial setup and was backed up and no btc has been transferred from my address it just shows the wrong amount on the suite. I have tried the web suite and the app they both show the same amount.
Hackers don't need to have physical access to your device if you give them seed words yourself.
I never had any problems with Trezor Suite showing wrong amounts, but it's literally impossible to see different amounts for address that didn't have any transactions...

I have a problem with my NANO X. This morning when I try to turn it on it shuts down immediately. I tried to load it but it didn't help. Has any of you had the same problem?
You are not the only one having problems with ledger nano x model.
This is one of the worst piece of crap hardware wallets available today, and they have many problems with cheap batteries they are installing in this devices.
Try connecting your device with cable instead to see if it works, and try resetting your device, but it could also be a problem with firmware update that creates problem.

I wrote about ledger nano X problems few years ago, but they are still happening very much, and I heard they have problems with latest ledger live app:

So there's this bitcoin testnet faucet, which I believe has been around for some years now, that started to display some scam ads (or maybe this is the first time I'm noticing it)
I don't see a big issue with this, especially when we know that g00gle is doing worse things with their ads for years.
This is the first time I heard about this Bitcoin testnet faucet, but I can see they are using some affiliate id links starting with tracking.affid21221il.
They are probably earning tiny amount of money for this, but it pays for domain and they probably don't care what is shown in this ads.
2557  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Forget about exchanger search! Use BestChange! on: February 17, 2023, 04:33:12 PM
This data can be transferred confidently, and they will not give potential scammers any benefit even if something happens to the exchanger.
However, you need to blur the expiry date and the CVC code on the card if it is written on the same side. You don’t have to provide the back side of the card.
They don't have to abuse this personal information, but that can also happen because you can't guarantee it won't, however there is high probability that sometime in future this data can be hacked.
We don't know who exactly is storing this data. We don't know who exactly is using this data and if they are sharing it with other third parties. We don't know anything.
Hiding expiry date and CVC is not a bad idea, but I bet many people are not doing it or they are not doing it correctly.
I would not use any exchanges that ask me to send them something like this.

First thing, you should never post your restore link in public like this with session token, but I guess you know everything and it doesn't matter to you so much because you are smartass... Roll Eyes
Make sure that you transaction is confirmed because I see deposit address on that link and it is showing no transactions, so check if you used correct fees before making accusations, and wait for Chipmixer team to reply.

Is there a way to add dark mode to the forum?
There is no dark theme switch, but you can install custom themes or use extensions and add-ons with dark themes, BPIP would be nice option that enable many other useful stuff for bitcointalk.

I don't know what web browser you use, but for Chrome or Brave browser you can do one small trick to enable dark theme for all websites, and all that without installing any script or extension.
You can do this by entering this text in your browser address bar: chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark

You can Enable any option you like most, restart your browser and you can always return back to Default option.
