The thing is, when you make one shortcut, it might lead you to make a second or a third one in the future. That way you are only making your setup less and less secure.

Some time ago, I asked why is everyone recommending using Linux distros on airgapped systems when your computer won't go online anyway? It was maybe o_e_l_e_o who explained it. There are far more attack vectors and backdoors on Windows than on Linux. Windows is a close-source OS with a wider market share than Linux. More people that can be attacked and more incentive to come up with different ways to break its defenses.

If you start making shortcuts and say I am just going to use Windows, the next thing that might happen is you deciding not to remove the WIFI or network cards to make it easier for yourself. While you at it, you might want to save yourself some time and not format your OS and install a clean version on it. After all, you are not going to connect it to the internet. One day you could decide to connect your "airgapped" computer to the internet just for a little bit because you need to check something, and it's quicker than turning on your other computer.

To avoid all that, you should respect all the recommendations or not do it at all and go for the next best thing - a hardware wallet.

It should have as many useful features as a good desktop wallet. Being non-custodial is a must. There are good open-source mobile wallets, meaning there is no need to settle for something close-source. The wallet should give you the freedom to select your own fees even after the decimals. Some wallets come with priority fee selections like low, medium, high, and that's far from optimum. Coin control is another noteworthy feature, as is the possibility to freeze certain inputs if you want to. I prefer wallets that have been around for many years and have clean track records instead of chasing beautiful looking designs and UIs, but with questionable qualities. 

Your mobile wallet will depend on what coins you intend to hold in it. I see no point in using a multi-coin wallet to store bitcoin, for example, when we have standalone bitcoin wallets. And don't use an exchange as a wallet because it isn't.

I will give the OP some time to see if they will respond. If not, I will do something similar. But I am going to delete my original feedback and add a neutral one linking to TrustDice's decision to not wanting to respond to scam accusations in the forum. Bitcointalk players need to know that if they run into problems with this bookmaker, they shouldn't expect to get a response in case they create a scam accusation thread. Instead, they need to include a mediator that may or may not be interested in investigating what happened depending on the case details (TOS violations, sportsbook infringements, etc.).   

It's time to update my Electrum version as well. The last time I checked, I was using the 4.2.2 version, but since my Electrum is connected to my hardware wallet, I am not worried. There also haven't been any vulnerabilities or major issues with that version that I am aware off.

When I upgraded to ver. 4.2.2., I noticed quite an improvement when signing transactions with my Ledger compared to older versions. When I was doing consolidations, for example, it would take a long time to sign with all the private keys. That has greatly improved thankfully.

That's not a bug screen, and it doesn't show anything out of the ordinary. A bug screen would display a window with an error message.

How was your overall internet connection disregarding the issues with Electrum at the time?

Electrum connects to a random server from the list. You can change that and connect to one manually. If you go to Tools > Network, you should be able to see server settings there. Untick the "select server automatically" and pick a random server from the list. Try a few and see which ones work the best. 

I would suggest reformatting the computer first because we have no idea what OP did to have his coins stolen. There could be malware and keyloggers on his system and a fresh Electrum install on such a system is not safe at all.

@OP
It's impossible to single out the exact reason without knowing everything about your online activities and the status of the device you had Electrum installed on.
Are you 100% sure the software was downloaded from the official website and not some lookalike?
How was your recovery phrase backed up?
 
That address you mentioned has already received over 55 BTC. The person knows what he/she is doing. I see that you already reported the theft on BitcoinAbuse. Still, I would be careful trusting any recommendations that promise recovery. I am talking about the suggestion someone gave you about using a cyber security agency to get your coins back. That's another scam most probably where they will ask you to pay for recovery and possibly lose even more or get your device infected. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, and without law enforcement it's almost impossible to find the culprits. 

Answer the questions people asked you to figure out what could have led to the theft, so you know what to do and what not to do in the future.

I have no idea what they are planning. It's a bug or actually a feature of a network smart contract. Once such a contract is released, I don't think it can be taken offline. Tron isn't decentralized like Bitcoin, but you still shouldn't expect that someone out there would/should have the possibility to remove certain network capabilities they don't like.

Fraudsters are using those zero-value transactions as scam attempts, but there are surely other genuine reasons and use cases why such an option exists. Changing it could affect people who aren't abusing it. This is just guesswork btw.

Thanks for the tip. I actually didn't know you could enter it that way, but good to know that works as well.

I have found out that it is indeed an issue with my mouse. I can't really explain what is affecting it. When the mouse isn't connected to the laptop, the Trezor Suite accepts all entries immediately. When it is connected, I regularly have to double and triple click for something to happen. 

I am sure you would have noticed it if it happened to you. It's incredibly irritating having to click multiple times before the software recognizes the clicks. And sometimes there is a lag. You click once, nothing happens, so you click the second time and the software then accepts both entries one after the other.

I am somewhat reluctant to try out the web version. For some reason it awakens the feeling of being less safe than the standalone app, although that shouldn't be the case.

I didn't notice issues with other apps because I was working with Ledger Live at the time as well. I will pay more attention to it next time. It has already happened a few times. I might try a different mouse first. The person who created that reddit thread mentioned removing their USB mouse and that seemed to fix the issues. I will try using the Suite with the touchpad only to see what happens. 

That's OK. When Electrum is used in an offline/airgapped environment, you don't have to fear that your private keys will leak. Assuming, of course, the computer you use is clean and malware free. The device should also be formatted and not be connected to the internet after a clean install of the OS ever. Most people recommend using Linux, but this is your choice. It's also recommended to remove ethernet and wireless cards from the motherboard so no one can try any tricks. Full drive encryption is another noteworthy step.

After that is done, you use the offline machine only for constructing and signing your transactions. The broadcasting takes place on a different online computer. The signed and unbroadcasted transaction can be transferred for signing using a USB drive or via QR codes.       

I took advantage of the recent Black Friday deal and bought myself a Trezor One hardware wallet. I am planning to use it for certain activities in the future, and I have transferred a part of my bitcoin portfolio to it.

But I have noticed something strange working with the Trezor Suite. It doesn't recognize each click of the mouse for some reason. For example, when I enter my PIN code into the software, I often have to click on the numbers 2 or 3 times before Trezor Suite accepts them.

It's the same thing when I browse around the settings or perform other actions in the software. Multiple clicks are often needed. Otherwise, nothing happens.

The hardware device itself works perfectly fine. I have been and still am a Ledger user for years and have never experienced the same glitches in Ledger Live. Therefore, I can rule out any issues with my laptop's hardware or software.

I see no point in uninstalling and reinstalling Trezor Suite because I have never used an older version of it. It's the first time I have installed it on this machine.

Has anyone encountered something similar, and how did you fix it? I will get in touch with Trezor support unless I find out what is wrong. Also, there are no problems with my mouse because it works correctly with other apps.

Are you trying to say hot wallets or maybe software wallets? They are, yes. However, Electrum can be both a hot and cold wallet, meaning you can use it on an internet-connected computer or a permanently airgapped device. Bitcoin Core is a full-node client, which needs internet connection to update and sync the newest blocks. Electrum being a light client that doesn't require downloading the whole blockchain to work is easy to take offline. I think it's still doable with Bitcoin Core, and I could swear I saw an old guide for it in the past. But it's not user-friendly having a full client that is offline.   

No genuine support agent of a respectable hardware wallet company would ask that. It is a misunderstanding. They want the defective device back, not the user's private keys. The user doesn't want to return the Trezor precisely for that reason. It has their PIN, private keys, and the seed in its memory. Perhaps the user is not aware of how to reset the device before sending it back, but even if they did, they might not want to do that for the safety of their coins. 

You don't store it yourself, but does that mean that someone else might store it for you?

I took a look at your Privacy Policy and here are a few interesting points:


You don't mention in your Privacy Policy for how long the data is stored and after how long it gets deleted or anonymized:


Personal data can also be shared with 3rd-parties who might collect it:


To be fair, you do mention that the data used by 3rd-parties is only in connection to the services you provide:


How much time needs to pass before a customer can request to have all its data removed from your servers and offline copies (if they exist)? What does the local law require you do in terms of how long the data needs to be stored?

There is a great thread created about two years ago by webtricks that you might find interesting > [Full Guide+Code]Seed Phrase & The Process of Deriving Bitcoin Addresses from It.
It tells you about generating entropy with coin flips, how to create the checksum, how to derive the recovery phrase from the number sequences, etc. I am sure you will find it interesting.

Ledger has a developers portal where you can build your own apps, add support for them, create your own tokens, and connect them with Ledger. You probably can't add features or omit something from the coin apps that are already supported, but if you know what you are doing, you could build your own. 

Adam Venture also mentioned something that I thought about the first time I read about the features of the Ledger Stax. I am talking about the screen that can always stay on to display your NFT collection and the likes. Who keeps their hardware wallets out in the open to enjoy their NFTs? Is this HW supposed to be by your side when you are working so you can occasionally glance at your NFTs and be happy about having them? When you go out for dinner, are you going to put it on the table next to your plate to enjoy your digital monkey and banana collections? I also don't see a future where people go out clubbing with their Stax's in one hand and a drink in the other. Maybe Ledger thinks that will happen.

There is an even better way. Don't copy anything from your transaction history when you are sending and receiving crypto. Congratulations! You have just upgraded your security.

The wallet or blockchain explorer could have a button to hide all 0-value transactions. That would get rid of this scam from popping up in front of your eyes. Blockchain explorers already tag these schemes as scams and malicious attempts. At least on Tron they do. 

What kind of recommendation is that? It's OK to use it, however, be very careful because it's extremely dangerous. That's another way of saying it. It's OK to walk in a minefield, but be careful not to step on a mine. Otherwise it's all good.

I don't follow altcoin trends, so I am not sure what kind of issues you are referring to. If it's about the OP and his friends having their wallets hacked, it's worth considering that they might not know how to keep their crypto safe. Getting hacked, phished, or malware-infected is usually due to user mistakes and not because of the wallets that were used.

According to the official site, the newest version is 23.1.2, so it can't be 23.1.12 as you claimed.
When was the last time you tried the QR feature and did it work properly? Downgrade to the version prior to the newest one (22.12.19) and see if the QR feature works as it should. It it does, there are clearly some issues with the newest version. Alternatively, speak with their support. It seems like they are offering live chat on their website.

There is no reason to be worried about the address poisoning scam. It doesn't affect you one bit if you send and receive coins the normal way. The normal way isn't coping addresses from transaction histories or blockchain explorers. I don't use Exodus, but it surely has a send/receive window or tab where the wallet will display your receiving addresses. That's the place where you should copy them from. If you are sending coins to someone else, take the address they sent you in whatever method you use to communicate.
