I get that people can set whatever price they want on their items, but the sales platform should be moderating the products going up to sale to make sure it is not money laundering in disguise of outrageous prices such as these - and there definitely shouldn't be a 7-figure US sales price on this order.
I never said this cloned website is legit, but last time I checked it was showing the exact same prices like in AliExpress website. They are just using NowPayments to convert fiat currencies to Bitcoin, but I would not risk exposing my information and delivery address. Even with original Aliexpress and sellers from China you can get tricked and receive some junk. |

Though, summing up all of the fees that Etsy charges, they are essentially taking up to 9.5% per transaction, plus $0.45 USD. That is quite a bit. I'm sure that a much more vendor-friendly version of this could be created with minimal transaction fees - at least in comparison.
Etsy is probably one of the worst marketplaces I ever saw. They are ripping of sellers, they don't allow them to sell their stuff anywhere outside Etsy and they have very strict policy for account suspension. I recently talked with one guy who is selling stuff there and he told me several people could complete purchases and they got their accounts suspended for no reason. I don't want to have anything similar that works with Bitcoin, it's much better for sellers to create their own website and add direct Bitcoin payment option. One forum member recenetly released clone of AliExpress called AliBitress that accepts Bitcoin payments, so in theory it's possible to do something like that with Etsy. |

so no one here wants a centralized bitcoin.
But what has happened recently? I heard that there are two mining pools that are actually controlling 51% of the global hash rate.
This information is misleading and not entirely true. You can easily check the state of all mining pools and there are not two mining pools that have more than 51% of hashrate. FoundryUSA has less then 27% and Antpool has less than 21% that is below 50%, but mining pools are not single entity and they change all the time. Compared to all other shitcoins and bitcoin forks I would say that Bitcoin certainly has most decentralized mining, but situation can certainly be better. Anyone who wants to help decentralization should join smaller mining pool, there is nothing complicates about that. |

information about accounts, history, and transactions are never stored on the device or cards. They are only available with the desktop companion (CySync) application. How about information like IP addresses and transactions that are registered by Cypherock server? Since there is no way to run full node with Cypherock or use any alternative software client like Electrum at this point, this would mean that privacy is not very good. Is this information being saved anywhere and for how long? I can understand. These are things that are part of the roadmap already.
I can't follow everything myself so please post any Cypherock update changes in this topic, when they are released. Thank you. |

Even at this early days of the year after a long holiday devs still deliver its newest update of the app to its newest version. And yeah, with lots of fixed bugs this includes lightning, hardware wallets connection, binaries, etc.
I see there is some important updates for hardware wallets like Trezor and ledger, and they even added warning for everyone who is still using ledger HW.1 devices, they should migrate asap if they want to continue using them with Electrum wallet. My habit is to usually wait few days after release of newest Electrum update, just in case there are some unexpected bugs and problems found. |

Anyone else notice that if you wrap something that contains really long lines with [code] tags, that it'll look okay in the actual post, but if you browse your post history afterwards, it'll render much wider than the surrounding posts and throw everything out? It happened to me several times before and I never understood the reason why this is happening. People who are mostly affected with this glitch are probably members who are creating many ANN topics and adding codes for signature and stuff like that. @theymos: Please consider merging this fix, or applying your mind to the problem and coming up with something better. Thanks!
Majority of people will never notice this but I still think it would be a good idea to apply this fix, so nice work again PowerGlove. |

I changed my phone, and unfortunately, I forgot to export GA Account and also my seed. I need to transfer my assets from electrum, but I cannot do that due to 2FA and needing the Google Authenticator. Where is your old phone now? Maybe you can still turn it back on and export everything you need, but seed words must always be kept offline on piece of paper or on metal plate. There is backup option for 2FA but I would suggest replacing Google Authenticator with much better open source alternative called Aegis Authenticator, and even KeePass can be used as temporary solution for this. |

Čini se da to za sada baš ne funkcionira kod ovih tokrena za hrvatsku reprezentaciju ali ne znam da li je kod nekih drugih klubova to možda ipak profunkcioniralo?
Kako ne? Pa zar ne vidiš da sam isto to pisao  https://token.hns-cff.hr/ |

Jade hardware wallet is already in this list for some time and I know it's open source. New hardware wallet added today is called Hito. They are still in pre-sale phase, and they promised to release open source code when they complete pre-sale, but I would be careful and wait for github links to be released. Additionally, someone (like WalletScrutiny) should verify if code is going to be reproducible or not inreality. |

I think the Bowser wallet is a neat project, but should only store small amounts of bitcoin, if any. Have you tried flashing the AWS one? I don't think it works
No I didn't and sadly I don't have AWS M5Stack device to test it out. Bowser is just a fun little project and there are much better DIY devices that exist today, like SeedSigner, Krux and other stuff made with RapsberryPi Zero devices and Trezor code. I am following all open source hardware wallets and signing devices that exist in one of my topic, so anything new and interesting that comes out will be posted there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5288971.0 |

Anyone used a Ledger Nano-S-Plus before? I just rage threw it accross the room... 4 attempts to use a phrase I made via dice then 20 pin invalids and I smashed it... This device is a massive pain in the ass I wouldn't recommend...
You basically compared apples and oranges, and I think you are writing nonsense after you came back to forum after long period of inactivity. It's not that I like ledger hardware wallets, but blaming ledger wallet for not accepting seed words you generated who knows how is ridiculous, and why didn't you do the same thing importing them to Trezor? It's better to explain how exactly you generated seed words with dices. One bonus question for you spazzdla: - Can you please prove ownership for any of your address posted in forum before? |

I don't think a mobile phone will ever be considered good cold storage, ever. The issue is that unlike an old laptop which you can take apart and remove the BlueTooth/Wifi chips, you cannot do this to a mobile phone. This is true for most smartphones but there are certain modular models like Fairphone and you can open them very easy and replace or remove almost anything you want. After removing antenna and all the other things you don't need (maybe microphone) you could also put phone in airplane mode just to be sure. I would never buy and use Iphone as cold storage, but there are phones with secure storage and some people are working on fully open source phones. It's not my first choice to use phones as scold storage, but it's possible to do it. |

I just got spooked it still does display some private keys. So are these keys legit or just some private keys needed in part of the software seed to make the whole scheme work?
This is just partial keys and you need other parts in your setup to make it complete. You can test multisig setup with bitcoin testnet coins and you don't have to waste any transactional fees using real Bitcoin. There could be some issue with hardware wallets you used, because some of them like ledger and trezor don't have very good implementation for multisig, or it's incomplete and not totally safe. |

Does YoMix by any chance have any connection with shady exchange Yobit, because they have very similar domain name? I see that main IP address for YoMix is located in Russia, that is the same location for Yobit exchange, and I saw there are more connections with links used by sberbank One more interesting thing I saw on their website is that Yomix that you can't be identified that you used mixer if you use clean new address, and that you are safe. I am not sure how exactly can they say something like this.  https://archive.is/NMeF5 |

That doesn't sound like you're following Coinbase's compliance at all.
Don't worry, I am sure some legendary members who are supporting them (like he confirmed) are going to tell them what to say next time Now they created new third topic in Services for their scheme service and this time it's self-moderated, some members are even glad because of that... If or when this thing turns out to be scam and people lose money I will personally take all those members who openly or secretly supported them responsible. New accusation against me is that I am somehow censoring and deleting his posts to hide something. Because he obviously doesn't understand English language and meaning for word consecutive, I would suggest him to go back in school or open a dictionary and use better translation machine next time. Creating duplicate topics is also breaking forum rules. |

So, how can a hardware wallet be a better option than a paper wallet?
With hardware wallets you can generate multiple addresses, send coins quickly, make additional passphrases, create multisig setup, etc. Paper wallets are still usable but they are used much less nowadays, there is nothing wrong if you use both of this options. I know, that a simple piece of paper can be damaged or lost, but, apart from that, how can it be hacked ? You obviously can't hack paper, but someone can find them, duplicate or take picture of them and steal your coins. Paper wallets are lately used a lot in scamming people, there was many reported cases in Australia, scammers tricked people in thinking they found free bitcoins. This means that paper wallets have been used to make phishing attacks with success. Alternatively, I could save the keys on 2-3 usb sticks and then protect the usb sticks, in order to avoid every point of paper failure (i.e ink stains, water etc). Isn't that extremely safe ? Am I missing something here ?
USB sticks are worse than paper, and I prefer keeping backups in physical form, not in digital. |

So here is the scenario, I have an Electrum wallet on my laptop. Now i want to download electrum (or any other wallet on my android phone) and setup a watch only wallet on my phone.
The reason is that since i carry my mobile always with me, i do not want seed to be stored in my phone, A watch only wallet will help me see my funds and in case of a phone lost, my bitcoins will not be at risk.
If you are only monitoring one address than you don't need to install any app, just use browser explorer and bookmark page with your btc address. Best way would be to connect hardware wallet with your electrum wallet, so nothing will be saved on your desktop or on your mobile device. With watch only wallets you can't send coins and make transactions, but when you connect hardware wallet you can do everything and monitor your addresses. |
