3021  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: WARNING when using mobile device wallets (Android, iOS) on: August 20, 2023, 12:19:00 PM
Definitely no other way but to stick to original apps within our smartphones OR lets just switch to the Hardware Wallet and Paper Wallets. Best on the market so far.  Smiley
I don't think sticking to the default or stock keyboard app of the smartphone would be the best piece of advice. For example, Google also collects all kinds of data. That's why those keyboard apps can even try to predict the word you wanted to type but misspelled it, and what you might type next.

I would rather suggest one only chooses to use software wallets that have their own virtual keyboards for typing in passwords, seeds...

Keyboard can collect and share data if it's granted Internet access, block it using firewall app like NetGuard [1] (some android skins have this functionality built-in). Of course this will restrict the functionality and some keyboard apps might even refuse to open until you grant Internet access.

Or you may use barebone keyboard apps like Simple Keyboard [2] which doesn't require Internet acess in first place.

In my opinion, people go to particular casino for the reputation it has built over the years and the confidence that they are less likely to do fraud with kyc and their funds.

Now, this can be done by any new casino, consistently provide good service and then the day will come when you will be recognized and compete with head of tables, thing is preservence. Stake is king of throne right now, it won't be forever.

I've come across multiple posts where the original bitcoin gamblers regretted the fact that none of the crypto casinos are anonymous like they all used to be, almost all of them requiring KYC at some point of the customer journey.

You could make an on-chain casino but they work best on fee less blockchains (I only know Hive and have created a post about casino found here). Otherwise paying transaction fees for each transaction is simply not worth it, even at cheapest blockchain — consider it has 1 cent transaction fee, 100 transaction which are quick to do and you lose 1$, transaction confirmation time also matters.





3023  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Wallet for Android / Re: Pros vs. Cons on Android for Bitcoin on: August 18, 2023, 12:21:27 PM
Android is an open-source, you can modify it if you have the knowledge or use privacy-oriented custom ROMs. Btw, if you follow the basic rules, like, not to use public wifi, don't visit malicious or unknown websites and so on, you won't be at a high risk of attack.
Only Android base is open source, but rest of this OS is full of junk, bloatware and propriety software code, especially in phones from China, but samsung and other brands are not great also.[/url]

Stick to stock android from reputable brands, you won't come across such junk (Google, Motorola, Asus). Chinese OEMs give good hardware at low cost and this low cost comes at cost of these ads.

However, most of added junk can be gotten rid of. Disable the apps that show ads, toggle ad personalization off (this is found in specific apps or in device settings), uninstall with adb, root the device, flash custom rom.

I used miui for couple years, which is notorious for showing ads. It's just that people don't bother to disable them that's what causes trouble. Device model specific search will show articles/videos on how to make it clean.

Using GrapheneOS is probably one of the bst open source OS you can use for your smartphone devices, it's clean Android OS with big security improvements, but it's far from perfect.
However, I think it's good enough to be used for everything related with Bitcoin apps.

GrapheneOS Only supports Google pixel [1].

Study mentioned was done in Chennai, I'd say Indian homes are least conducive for work. Here is similar study [1] done in Netherlands, results are opposite. Point being, such survey results are only good for that particular part where they are done, and should not be used to judge broadly.

First, it will compromise the browser which will lead to installing the malware in the background and you will have to know idea what is going on and there is no way to find out.

Unless browser has "install unknown apps" setting enabled, browser can't install anything on it's own. This is off by default.

Quote
And also you can't find the malware install root directory in your app management likely the malware will be completely invincible and keep running always on the background.

That will require rooted device, and SU permission to the malware.

Quote
If you want you can see the presentation on youtube about how such attacks are done. Google Protect is not going to find those malware if the attacker is smart enough.

Still attacker will have to manipulate user in some way to get necessarry permissions.



Mind linking video you are talking about?
3027  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Wallet for Android / Re: I'm Looking for android wallet with taproot, ledger and connecting to my node. on: August 16, 2023, 10:17:46 AM
But Windows also has some security features to mitigate the potential attacks which is not actually available or effective on Android due to its inherent architecture.

How do you mean? Android is built on Linux inhering it's security features (sandboxing, permission model, SELinux, Encryption).

Quote
As the article says no platform is completely immune to attacks so we can't simply rule out the security of the funds by linking it with the second most attacked platform.

Yeah I do not, my question was people use HW on Windows which is 1st most attacked, why not on Android?

Quote
As I said one click on an unknown click will give complete access of our Android to someone which allows the attacker to provide endless ways from simple ones like tricking the user to authorize the transaction to intense ones like social engineering, and blackmailing which will become an eventual loss.

One misclick can't give complete access to your Android, only downloading malicious apps and giving them dangerous permissions can — such as accessibility, device admin, installing unknown apps and if device is rooted then that'll be Super User. Android will warn you before you allow such permissions. 

Stay away from dodgy sites, stick to Google play to download apps, read reviews, be mindful what permissions you give and if they are really necessary, encrypt your data (new phones come with 'on' by default), use lock, don't connect to unsecure networks and you will be good.

Android, Windows both have large user base, so they get attacked the most but weakest link is always the user.
3028  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Wallet for Android / Re: I'm Looking for android wallet with taproot, ledger and connecting to my node. on: August 15, 2023, 11:48:13 AM
But I think it is not really good idea to connect your Hardware wallet to Android since we know Android is more vulnerable to malicious attacks.

According to this Gizchina article — Windows is most targetted, Android is next and least is Apple ecosystem. But, people use it on Windows so why not on Android?

Quote
so you may let someone access and control your cold storage just because you linked an unknown link.

Everything requires physical confirmation on HW (that's whole point of it), phishing link can't do anything unless you yourself give physical confirmation.

I do not personally think password change is any red flag as it's one of recommended security practices.

But it is true that when some account has it's password changed recently/frequently, it might get under radar of people who check for hacked/sold accounts, so they can reward that account with proper trust rating.

I always think of BTT as a highly valuable platform. I'm in fear that my BTT account would get compromised someday if I saved my password in an online place. So I never saved my password anywhere. (I know I should have used a diary to note down my password.)

Use offline password manager. I myself use password safe [1] on my android. Encrypt it and make backups regularly, so even if someone somehow gets access to the cloud file, he can't have access to the data without knowing the password.

Stake your Bitcoin address as an alternative way to secure your account [2].

3034  Economy / Gambling / Re: Play Simple telegram-bot game "Unix Season" on: August 14, 2023, 03:59:54 AM
Games on telegram aren't popular here, so it is difficult for you to market it here even if it is free. because at the beginning of its appearance, Telegram was already considered a scam field for crypto users. If I were you I will try to build the website like others, this is one way to build trust here. Even if your intentions are good, and have the output to create a real cryptocurrency game, but one thing you should know is, the people will play your game if it really makes them happy, not the fear to be loss.


Honestly speaking it would be a turn-off for many since it requires downloading the app and like you said, scams galore.

I think most people here use telegram (no need to install it even as you can use it on web and registration too is easy), it shouldn't be of trouble.

Regarding game, it seems bland, you can keep guessing same answer and you will eventually win, I won thus, however I have no idea how to proceed with bonus [1] !? Also, I dislike how it clears previous games.

Nope, no need to update what's already written, it'll be enough if new articles reflect the update, rest will follow.
3036  Economy / Gambling / Re: Kryptogamers Hive No KYC Casino on: August 13, 2023, 03:54:56 AM

Almost a number of casinos have now implemented a KYC system, especially large casinos, and all of this is done because of compliance with the licenses that exist in certain casinos.
Even though many gamblers may disagree with such a policy, there are still some casinos that do not require KYC like this casino which can be a recommendation for gambling without risking KYC.
It's just that at the moment this casino only uses coins based on the Hive blockchain and for me it was quite interesting trying to gamble in this casino.

We cannot fight with what is impossible to beat, everything has been focused in that direction, even if we do not want things to happen with kyc, there will always be ways to force ourselves to comply with them, and the other is to use casinos that do not have kyc requirements that are centralized like freebitcoin, apart from this I don't know of others unless they are decentralized casinos that have other rules, but in general I prefer casinos that are centralized, because they offer more security and more guarantee that they do things better like in duelbits, this is It's just that I think and I believe that things should be done that way.

I counter, but isnt this leaning towards non-KYC hubs like Hive blockchain somewhat amiss? Sure, the charm of non-KYC is irresistible, but at what sacrifice? Premier casinos insist on KYC, not for sport but for compliance and your guard. Arent we concerned about our funds going awry? Doesnt security hold more weight than simplicity?

Centralized venues like Duelbits, strictly following KYC, embody responsibility and dependability. If things go downhill, wouldn't you opt for a casino answerable to the law than some enigmatic decentralized stage? Isnt it smarter to risk on the game, not the platform?

Funds can go awry or need to be guarded if there is someone holding your funds in first place.

Users here don't try the platform, neither understand what on-chain is (I'm excluding lightning wallet part) and just come here and write in ignorance.

Hi Kryptogamers, I actually do like your design and the games you are offering I was wondering what coins do you accept? Only Hive? I was interested in placing bet using Bitcoin, I would like to try and test all of your games but I would possibly stay on the Crash game, I would also think that a public games is a good idea like all people can place bet at the same time on the same round or something like that.

We are glad that you liked our minimalistic design. If you are interested in trying out our games without a Hive account, do check out Fortunekingz (https://fortunekingz.com) which works on POLYGON blockchain. Fortunekingz, a sister site of Kryptogamers, is also a provably fair optionally custodial gaming platform based on POLYGON blockchain in which you can play with MATIC and USDT for now. Hope you win and have a fun playing experience Smiley

I'll update the op.

3038  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stay updated on: August 13, 2023, 03:31:44 AM
If you have to force yourself to know particulars about a thing you aren't interested enough in it. Natural interest automatically keeps you updated, possibly your relative has that and you don't.

I also don't have access to satellite dish like my relative does, this is how he is able to get the best out of these sports.

Satellite Dish shouldn't be an excuse, we are in era of Internet, which you have access to. If your connection is weak to live stream, sub to relevant channels on social sites, join reddit — they give moment to moment updates.
