Seems like yet another big name in crypto won't survive this bear market as Coin Cloiud (according to coinatmradar the world's 2nd biggest ATM operator in the world) filed for bankruptcy, owning between $100 million and $500 million. It looks like this happened because of their connection with Genesis Global Trading who had financial problems recently and they are one of the biggest creditors for CoinCloud. I don't think CoinCloud have any Bitcoin ATM's in Europe, and most of them are located in North and South America. Maybe there is still hope someone could buy them for a good discount price and ATM's could continue operating with rebranding. I've used Bitcoin ATM for years while there were no better (cheaper) options to buy & sell bitcoin but then competition started showing up that can offer lower fees, making me using BATM only as a last resort and I think that many (at least in my country) do the same so I am not surprised at all to see that companies that offer those services are having troubles.
I think having Bitcoin ATM option is still very important, maybe they don't offer lowest fees but sometimes this is the quickest way to exchange Bitcoin for cash. |

Našao sam još jedan novi hardverski novčanik Ammer Card u formatu pametne (NFC) kartice. Ova kartica se može kupiti za 99 CHF (€100) i podržane kriptovalute su Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Polygon, Ton, BNB, Celo, Waves, ERC20, USDT, USDC... Ammer card izgleda kao obična kreditna kartica, ali ne može raditi na normalnim bankomatima, već samo na njihovim Ammer pay terminalima. Privatni ključevi se balaze na kartici u sigurnosnom elementu sa EAL6+ certifikatom.  https://ammer.cards/PS FatFork možda bi mogao ukloniti Kune i ostaviti samo Euro ili Dolar za sve hardverske novčanike. |

Nisam iznenađen što ovo čujem za LocalBitcoins, nakon što su uveli obaveznu kyc verifikaciju njihova lividnost je stalno opadala, a sigurno su imali i problema sa regulacijom. Nedavno sam čuo za alternativu koja se zove Peachbitcoin.com, p2p trading app, za sad je open beta, bez kyc verifikacije, super je za EU. A postoji i Bisq, AgoraDesk i druge opcije. |

This is not the first time some member is doing ban evasion and he does not get banned by moderators. I remember few years ago I posted clear proof and connection between accounts (address and social media), that guy created many accounts but most of them never got banned. As for IP bans, they are far from perfect, because I know some examples of people who tried to register in forum for the first time and they received evil fee message. Being honest Im bigger contribution to the forum than the Yahoo guy.
Yeah sure, I think you deserve a medal for your contribution in stupidity, and you write forum posts like a real cave man. P.S. The user has now been banned for ban evasion.
Just remember his special style of writing, I am sure we are going to see him again soon. |

I hope Satoshilabs can find a solution to give support to its original model, it would be a pity if they started to neglect it right when the most exciting parts of this technology are supposed to be at the reach of those with a tight budget.
I don't think they are neglecting Trezor One model, but coinjoin transactions need more processing power with memory and model One is getting old for that. It's more likely they are going to focus on supporting new generation Trezor hardware wallet and Trezor Model T, but I wouldn't mind if they release Trezor model Two with small upgrades. I am certainly not going to buy Trezor Model T for more than $200 just because of new CoinJoin feature. |

to be fair, if Gavin were concealing his original reasons for giving Craig Wright the thumbs-up, ill intent is only one possibility. If we don't know his reason(s), then that's as much as we may ever know
Or Gavin was simply blinded by CSW charisma  I wonder did Gavin also played a lot of games with certain government agency as well, and could that affect his judgement as well? Anyway, I see more bad new for Craig Wright as he just lost his Bitcoin copyright claim in UK court, but I am sure that won't stop him going to more courts in future: https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/02/08/craig-wright-loses-bitcoin-copyright-claim-in-uk-court/ |

Even M5stickV has 3 buttons now. After an update, power button can be used to navigate(go back).
DIY version Dock navigates using a rotary encoder.
Yeah I know, but I have to admit that buttons are not very comfortable to use, if anyone plans to use them for entering letters and seed words manually I don't know how old Androids will handle the app. As the app doesn't require anything fancy I hope it has some wide range of compatibility. I have some cheap, but not old phones to test. If you try let us know if it worked.
I tried using Krux app with Android v4.4.2 and sadly it could not be installed on this old smartphone from year 2015. It works just fine in any newer smartphone and in android emulators. |

I find this thread very interesting, I've been wanting to try my hand at producing a DIY hardware wallet for some time, I also saw that it supports lightning network! I would like to know since you haven't updated the thread for some time if you have encountered problems, both on the hardware and on the software side
Everything works fine and I didn't have any problems, but I am not using it very much and device is just ''sleeping'' in one of my tech drawers. I remember there was some small issues during initial firmware and software installation, but this was related to my operating system, not with device itself. Device I used was dirt cheap and I printed my own case, so it's easy to do it yourself. I immediately came to look since I am very passionate about DIY
very nice, I wanted to try with M5stack since I own this device (but I miss the keyboard, I have to provide it)
I don't know if it works with M5stack (not confirmed on website), but I used TTGO T-Display that works fine, and you don't really need to have any keyboard for this. |

It's possible there are some little changes after they did recent facelift and brand design changes. Judging by Christian Reitter who opened Safepal last year, there are no tamper detection sensors here, so it looks like one more false advertisement from Safepal. I would never spend a single dollar on this wallet, but if someone already owns it's good to know that battery can be replaced. honestly speaking, i don't think a firmware update will solve the safepal s1 battery problem, i think the problem is just the type of battery supplied with the hardware wallet that doesn't hold a charge! trying to replace it could trigger the self-destruct protection! you should first order a new device or get a different device than safepal
Does anyone know how exactly their self-destruction mechanism works? If it is triggered by opening of device, than it would be almost impossible to replace battery, but it can probably still be used with cable power connection. They obviously added self-destruction sticker to make it sound look than it is  |

This wallet is still in alpha experimental stage of development, but why do I need to create online account with username and password, instead of downloading wallet and installing it on my computer? I am not interested in creating and using any altcoins or nft with this wallet, but I would consider using it as alternative for stable coins. Another problem I have with this wallet is that I can't find any information about license, so you might want to add this on website. |

Why Electrum doesn't use BIP39 seed? even use and have the same wordlist as BIP39 (2048 words). Electrum developers think that BIP39 seed is not safe enough so they tried to improve it by making their own system and fixing shortcomings. I know this could be confusing to some users, and I would suggest writing extra information when you are generating seed words, by simply writing small note like Electrum or BIP39. In same way I would write derivation path that is not standard, passphrase, and anything that could help recover coins. How to know if no.1 is bip39 seed and no.2 is electrum seed?
You can only know by importing words and checking your balance after that. |

With a strategy to stop the growth of bitcoins by reducing the community behind it, Is it possible that the government (say a collective effort by them all) target bitcointalk since it is the largest community bitcoin has(I think), to stop the activities of forum members from staying together to ensure that this community is disbanded?
It's impossible to stop Bitcoin by targeting Bitcointalk forum, and I am sure theymos is making regular backups in case something bad happens, so it can be restored quickly. Most of developers and people who are working on Bitcoin code are not actively writing in forum, but in theory we could always create another way of communication. Nostr was recently released as alternative to Twitter and it is growing in popularity a lot, so maybe it's possible to do something similyr for bitcoin forum. |

Može još jedno ažuriranje FatFork i Pmalek?  Shitcoins.club otvara prvi Bitcoin bankomat za kriptovalute u Sarajevu, glavnom gradu Bosne i Hercegovine, iako u BiH promet kriptovalutama još nije zakonski uređen. Adresa za bankomat je Kranjčevićeva 33 na na Marijin Dvoru, Sarajevo, a za sada podržava Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum i Tether USDT. To je treći ovakav bankomat u BiH, a druga dva grada koja imaju Bitcoin bankomate u BiH su Banja Luka i Gradiška.  https://radiosarajevo.ba/vijesti/bosna-i-hercegovina/kriptovaluta-u-bosni-i-hercegovini-prvi-atm/483045 |

A minor correction. You can pick your Wasabi coinjoin coordinator. You are not required to use zksnacks.
This is correct, but there is a good chance you won't be able to coinjoin anything because there are not enough coins with using different coordinators, or coinjoin results would be poor. On top of that, most of the people don't even know how to choose different coordinator, and there is always a risk this other coordinators could be arrested for doing something illegal, so it's not very popular position |

OK. So Coinjoin we can consider it decentralized, I guess that's the main difference.
It's more decentralized than other mixing solutions, but there are still some parts that can be centralized, like we saw in case with Wasabi wallet. Joinmarket would be much better and more decentralized than all other mixing options. The guy above is a bot, or?  Post reported. I did some testing of his posts for AI detection and results are showing high chance that he is actually a bot that used some tools to generate posts. Than I saw his post history, with him writing in many different languages like Spanish, Italian, Russian, so I am even more sure this guy should be banned for plagiarism and use of AI tools.   |

Trezor just announced they are starting to test CoinJoin with their devices, and they called everyone who owns Trezor Model T to participate if they want! They didn't post more information about this, but judging by questions asked in their form this will happen in February, and you need to send them your email address (use alternative temp email for this). You will receive invitation to join a Google Meets conference call on test day., and Trezor claims they will delete this record when testing ends, within 30 days at the latest. Dates and times for testing are: - February 15, 15:00 UTC - February 22, 17:00 UTC https://satoshilabs.typeform.com/coinjointestingAccording to information I saw on Trezor github page, you will have to download latest Trezor Suite v23.2.1 pre-release that have option to test CoinJoin with Bitcoin testnet. https://github.com/trezor/trezor-suite/releasesIt sucks that Trezor Model One is not enough for CoinJoin, but I would like to see explanation why we can't use Model One. This is what Trezor support said about this on reddit: At the moment Trezor Model One does not support CoinJoin, as we are still exploring options of the implementation. https://www.reddit.com/r/TREZOR/comments/10w0jfx/comment/j7kuzv1I will use this topic to post all the information from Trezor testing, and people who join this testing can write their own experience. |

How do you enter the passphrase when it has just one button? Or is it scanned in through a second QR code? Of course this wouldn't be an acceptable solution either, since someone could take a photo of that (while you don't notice) or just steal it, as well.
Dude, I don't know who told you about one button, but you are wrong about this, it would be almost impossible to operate any device with just one button, unless it's joystick style Small device M5StickV K210 have two buttons I think, and other larger devices that work with Krux code have more buttons. Sure! But at that point, it resembles more an airgapped computer than a hardware wallet, for me. Of course it will be hard to draw a line between the two definitions. It's airgapped device. Computer usually have more functions and it has wider attack surface. Yes I was talking about this, but previous version of secure element ATECC508A had even bigger issues, so old ColdCard (I think mk2) had to change it very fast. It's realistic to say that same thing can happen with ATECC608A and ATECC508B in future, like with any other secure elements, and you can't exactly remove and replace secure element from working device. Do you know how passphrase entry is realized? I believe unless you have a nice keypad like Passport or ColdCard, most people will just avoid using (a sufficiently secure) one.
Even if you have perfect keypad like Passport you certainly wont write very long passphrase essays, because you still need to enter this each time you use device. You could check the Android app to have an idea of what we are talking about.
Krux Android App for testing (this is also working on some Android emulators I tried): https://github.com/odudex/krux_binaries/tree/main/AndroidWhat would be oldest the Android version supporting Krux app? I have some ancient smartphone device with Android 4 or 5 I think  |

i better go with stamps for $30 from ali and copper plate from our local shop ($10).
Copper is durable metal and you can use it, but stainless steel is better in every way and it's even cheaper than copper if you buy washers in your local shop, they are less than $10. If copper was better than everyone would use it to make metal backups for Bitcoin, and I only saw one or two products who did that, compared to hundreds of projects that use stainless steel. FYI Copper melting point is 1981 F (1083 C), and for stainless steel that is 2750 F (1510 C), big difference if fire happens near your metal backup. |

Thus, only suchmoon's Bitcoins remained unclaimed.  I think that means that suchmoon is rejecting his title of Miss Bitcointalk bronze medal winner, and he is officially confirming that he is 100% male. For next year you must add category for Mister Bitcointalk like someone suggested before. Oh, and what happened with custom hardware wallet rewards that some members didn't want to accept? |
