We now have multiple wallets that have already introduced this privacy feature or have signaled that they are working on implementing it. I like where that is going. But wait until the US government finds out. They might try to bring more democracy to Bitcoin and its developers.  |

OK, let me rephrase - It might take a long time before the community will find a coordinator that's operated by a trustworthy individual, or group of individuals, who will not be honeypots. Because there WILL be honeypots pretending as coordinators that will utilize zkSNACKS software after June 1. I'm very VERY confident that we'll see them. Kruw will now tell you that the reputation of an individual doesn't matter because everything is open-source. He might also mention that it can't be a honeypot because the wallet doesn't collect any information. Did I mention it is open-source? Finally, if you are not running your own coordinator then you are a pussy. |

Foundation Passport has also announced that they are planning to introduce support for BIP351 and Silent Payments. They plan to integrate it with both Envoy and the Passport hardware wallet in the future. Of course, it's not added yet, but just something for you to keep an eye on.

Actually, with my secondary stake account (in wife's name) I used it with VPN for years ( the IP is even from a restricted region, haha ) and never had 1 single problem about it.
So obviously there are different experiences about this subject.
Just my 2 cents. It can be just a matter of time. You might have been lucky this far, but it doesn't mean you always will be. Also, your use of VPN will remain on their record. If they ever decide to perform a deeper check, they will see it. We shouldn't suggest to other users that it's an ok thing to do because they will get the wrong impression. One more thing. Be careful about multiple accounts in the same household even if they are registered to different names. It's especially important if you play with bonuses. One account per household is a common rule on online casinos. |

Based on the limits you saw on Sportsbet, I take it that you are not betting on popular leagues, but perhaps some second/third division teams. It's quite normal that bookies and odds providers limit how much you can bet on such games. Have you checked the limits on Blackjack.Fun for the matches you like to bet on?
Btw, don't play on Stake with a VPN and try to bypass their restrictions. It's a sure way to get yourself into trouble and have your winnings and perhaps even deposits confiscated.

I have heard of the Bitget exchange, and know it's one of the partners and sponsors of Juventus football club. You can see its logo on their sleeve. I have also seen the exchange being advertised in Serie A matches. The Bitget wallet is a companion app of that exchange. I have never heard of anyone use either of the two services, but it's surprising to me that there are scam accusations against them. It wouldn't be the first time, though. 1xBet (connected to 1xBit) is also a sponsor in the Italian football league, but anyone who follows this forum knows about the awful reputation of 1xBit.

Recently, the upgraded Tangem app added the passphrase support for their latest (version 2) cards that have the option to generate (or import) BIP39 SEED phrases. Thus, i have reset my cards to factory settings ( the procedure on how to do this can be found here) and added passphrase to my SEED. Without resetting it is not possible to do this. But that newly added passphrase isn't going to add any extra security to the coins on your initial non-passphrase enabled wallet/addresses. Are you going to move your coins to new addresses on your Tangem that take advantage of the passphrase feature or will you leave them where they are and add extra security to addresses funded in the future? |

A bug is a bug. It may not look serious for experienced user like you or me but put someone, less experienced, in my place. He/she may suspect that if wallet is corrupting the simple thing then it is capable to corrupt other valuable data relevant to transaction. Such kind of bugs are nonallowable and should be fixed ASAP. I understand what you are saying and I agree that it needs to be fixed, especially since it shouldn't be difficult for their developers to change that workflow. But I repeat that it isn't a bug that hinders you from using the signing device with all its current capabilities. Foundation should just leave the name alone and not add any timestamps to the signed transactions because the device is missing an internal clock. |

Very confusing post Sonia. Let's break it down. This is an address that looks exactly like your Bitcoin address wallet It doesn't. Address poisoning scams aren't common on the Bitcoin network. They are more common on alternative blockchains, but even then the two addresses aren't exactly like. Only a few characters at the beginning and the end are the same. it is adviceable not to copy address even if it appears instead type and check the address properly No one types addresses out character by character. You copy them. However, you don't copy them from blockchain explorers and transaction histories. You do it from the receive tab/receiving feature of your wallet. because these scammers works on your two last wallet numbers. I assume you mean characters. Remember that you said that addresses involved in poisoning scams look exactly like your bitcoin address? Now you are talking about the last two " wallet numbers" only a few sentences later. |

I just noticed that with the latest firmware version you released a few months ago, a new device has become compatible with the Krux DIY hardware wallet. It's the Yahboom K210 module. It's a touchscreen device that runs on Linux and has a touchscreen. It's cheap and can be bought for $50 to $60 at Amazon. http://www.yahboom.net/study/K210-Developer-Kit |

As this wallet is always off-line it can not make use of the services of an external oracle to get correct date. Thus internal clock probably should be implemented with the initial manual setup of the actual date. Or, at least, Passport should preserve that date of data which it receives for signing from the software wallets. It's not a serious bug. As long as you aren't keeping multiple PSBTs on your microSD card, you won't find yourself in a situation where you don't know which signed transaction you want to broadcast. The easiest fix would be to just not rename the file at all, and add a "signed" prefix or suffix to it. |

Yep, it feels exactly like a seedsigner, how can I change that?? I guess you set it up using the Advanced Setup mode. The standard and assembled (non DIY) Jade has a beginner setup and advanced setup. The latter one creates a stateless signing device that you can use with SeedQRs. The beginner setup feature creates a standard wallet with the information stored on the device like with any other hardware wallet. You also need to set up a PIN. Like I said, this is for the normal Jade. I can only assume it's the same thing for the DIY variant. So, go through the beginner setup, not the advanced one. |

since the new release (2.0.0) of Stack Wallet, this multicoin wallet now also supports taproot for BTCitcoin. Stack Wallet's interface reminds me of that of Blue Wallet. Both use that swipe left to right feature to switch between different wallets. @dkbit98 can therefore also be added to the list in the op  I don't think dkbit98 should be added to any lists because he is a person, not a Taproot-supporting wallet. Pun intended.  Found another open-source mobile wallet [Keeper (by BitHyve)] that supports Taproot addresses. OP can always compare his information against the software wallets shown on the Bitcoin Hole. The Taproot feature is one of the points mentioned on the site. |

With curiosity to find out whether it requires KYC in making a purchase, it turns out that transfi does not require KYC. But make no mistake, I did not continue the purchase until successful by using mobile wallet as a payment method.
It could be that for the next process it is required to complete the KYC. Perhaps it will let you start the exchange, but then to actually finalize it, you will have to submit your documents. Maybe it's one of those typical "we don't require KYC unless it's necessary", and it always turn out to be necessary. Here is just a small part of their Privacy Policy dealing with the AML and KYC procedures that confirms identity verification is necessary: The Company will verify the identity of its customers and users under its “Know Your customer” processes. For individual users, this will include name and date of birth that is verifiable electronically through an accepted and valid Government issued document accurately containing the users name and date of birth. Acceptable forms of identification for an individual user varies by country of operation and includes one or more of the following:
National ID;
Passport;
Residence permit for a foreign national;
Any other acceptable ID allowed by regulation; and as additional verification form
Valid Address document like a Utility bill/bank statement (could be any of the above if they have the complete address and not merely a PO Box). https://www.transfi.com/policies#aml-kyc-policy |

I remember the first time it happened I freaked out, because it showed that someone actually sent some transaction from my cold storage address, it didnt make any sense and I assumed my seed was in jeopardy. The transaction you saw couldn't have been an outgoing transaction, only an incoming one from an address with similar characters as yours. these days most of these are filtered on etherscan so you wont notice. But if you don't use an address book and copy and paste your recent transactions, then you are at risk. Correct, but a victim could use a wallet that still hasn't implemented such filtering and be tricked to copy an address from their wallet's transaction history. But I think the most popular ones have already introduced some type of measure to not show these types of transactions by default. |

Being a product of Blockstream and one of the possible companion apps for the Blockstream Jade, it's weird that they are not prioritizing adding support for SeedQRs. Several other software wallets have it but Green is still lacking in that regard. Not that it would be my first choice if they had it, but I still think it's a feature that would draw some more people to the software. |

Unfortunately, since it's a custodial service and your friend doesn't possess any keys, only the exchange can give your friend his coins back. I don't think it will do it, though. As far as exchanges go, a couple come to mind: - Robosats[1]
- AgoraDesk[2]
- Peach Bitcoin[3]
AgoreDesk is closing down soon and should no longer be recommended to people. It's one of the latest victims in the global fight against privacy-enhancing services. You can't open new accounts any longer and you won't be able to post new trades either. The website shuts down in November. |

but speaking of Binance or any other cex, how can someone know my name on a cex, ok governments might do and the people inside cexs might do other than that can sellers of products and services can see my personal information on some cexs? Don't forget another important piece of the puzzle. Many CEXs are high-value targets for hackers who try to breech their security and obtain money from their hot wallets or user data of their customers. Some CEXs have been hacked in the past and that will continue in the future as well. Such data can be sold on underground forums or simply be posted publicly for everyone to obtain a copy. If your sensitive information is in that leak, that's how anyone can connect you to certain addresses even without the help of blockchain analysis companies or the cooperation of the site. |

Ooo ... I don't need to continue if possible both need KYC in terms of purchasing Bitcoin. I haven't checked if they require KYC, but such services do 99% of the time. Being an on-ramp to bitcoin and a bridge between the fiat and crypto worlds, it's only natural that you can't use their platforms and remain anonymous. They comply with whatever regulations their regulating authorities demand from them. So, expect KYC and SOF. |
