321  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Which bitcoin addresses are the bitcoin located in the nano ledger s? on: May 18, 2022, 02:29:36 AM
That issue was a while back.  Don't know why but a clear cache restored old transactions on the latest operations.  That is a question of mine so wanted to know how that is possible.  

My issue now is this.  The last time i had to wipe my windows pc, i had to reinstall lot of programs.  Had reinstalled ledger live as i mentioned this.  Now when i did this, it doesn't matter what you call your btc or bch account right?  Example back then before i wiped my windows pc, might have called it bitcoin one segwit.  And called it bitcoin cash.  Then there is that bitcoin native segwit account that never has a balance in it.  Doesn't matter if you name these accounts different when you add accounts again on ledger live right?

Now after i restored ledger live and installed the btc and bch apps on my nano ledger and added accounts, you see the amount and balance of btc and bch and all the old latest operation transactions.  So after that, i did a few transactions of me sending btc and receiving btc but these were not big amounts.  But after each transaction, would show up in my latest operations history and any amount added or deducted would be correct.

So at the moment when you click on accounts tab on ledger live, you see like this

bitcoin segwit
bitcoin main account           green check mark       BTC Amount        BTC Balance

bitcoin cash main account    green check mark      BCH Amount       BCH Balance

bitcoin native segwit
bitcoin one account              green check mark      0 BTC

So the amount and balance of BTC bitcoin segwit bitcoin main account and bitcoin cash main account is correct in both portfolio and in accounts tab.  Was told a while back the native segwit bitcoin account should have 0 BTC since i never used native segwit correct?




However, how do i check what btc addresses are the BTC located?  Because when i went to the oldest transactions, the ones where i send btc from electrum to nano ledger s, you see two transact i ons w i th the TO addresses when entered on blockchain explorer?  When you click on each transaction on ledger live, you are suppose to look at the TO Address correct?  There is a FROM and TO.  So i went to blockchain.com explorer and then copy and pasted the TO addresses of those transactions i sent from electrum to nano ledger s.  However, how come all the old transactions show on blockchain there are two transactions.   The total amount of btc send and received is the same X amount.  But it shows the total balance of 0?  Thats because those btc got sent to a change address correct?  When i look at one of my oldest transactions of sending electrum to nano ledger and copy and paste that TO Address on blockchain.com, it shows two transactions.

When i look at one of my oldest transactions of sending electrum to nano ledger and copy and paste that TO Address on blockchain.com explorer, it shows two transactions when you check that on blockchain explorer?

First transaction shows a recent btc transaction when i sent a tiny amount of btc to a site that has nothing to do with when i sent electrum to nano ledger s years ago?  Change address?



My posts below is going to be in detail and from blockchain explorer.

s



Am going to use 1 BTC to make the math more simple and easier to look at.

2022 Transaction


Does show -1 BTC in red on the right side.  What's that?



The transaction i did on this date was me just sending tiny amount of btc to a site.  Had nothing to do with when i sent btc from electrum to nano ledger s years ago.

Fee 0.0000xxxxxx btc
(x sat/byte - x sa/wu - x bytes)
(x sate/vbyte - x virtual bytes)

hash   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Address starting with number 3               1 BTC              Address starting with number 1                      0.05  BTC
                                                                                  Another Address starting with number 3           0.95  BTC


What i notice is it seem to break the transaction on the left into two addresses on the right?  Can someone explain this?  When you subtract the total amount of btc i sent from electrum to nano ledger at that moment... thats the Address starting with number 3 of 1 BTC, you would get the balance to be the Another Address starting with number 3 after subtracting it from the Address starting with number 1?  So that means that BTC address contains 0.95 BTC?  Don't want to type like 0.0005 BTC on the left side and then like 0.0003 BTC and 0.0002 BTC on the right side so i use 1 BTC to make it simple.




Right below it on the same blockchain explorer page, it shows one of the old transaction of when i sent btc from electrum to nano ledger years ago.

2019 Transaction

Also seems to show +1 BTC in green as oppose to the -1 BTC in transaction above?  So it cancels the other one out right that is why that receive address TO has no total balance?


Fee 0.0000xxxxxx btc
(x sat/byte - x sa/wu - x bytes)
(x sate/vbyte - x virtual bytes)

hash   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Address starting with number 1          1.15 BTC               Another Address starting with number 1         0.15 BTC
                                                                                   Address starting with number 3                     1 BTC
Again seem to break the transaction on the left to the right?  Thus change address?

When i copy and paste that Address starting with number 3 into blockchain explorer, it does show one transaction, BTC amount received is 1 BTC.  None sent.  Total balance is 1 BTC.  

So that btc address of mine contain 1 BTC correct?  Again, im using 1 BTC to make it simple and not type so many 0.xxx btc.  




So basically any btc receive address you ever used on nano ledger s, most likely the total balance of many of these receive addresses in the TO will be 0 because when you do future btc transactions, there will be change addresses which has the BTC sent to change addresses?

But how does it even touch those btc from the very old transactions?  Example say you made say 10 total btc transfers from electrum to your nano ledger s years ago to move all the btc to nano ledger. Let say all the transactions were 0.xxx btc amounts and to make the math simple, after you sent all the btc from electrum to nano ledger, you have a total of 5 BTC in nano ledger s.  Say you had total of 5.xxxxxxx BTC on electrum but after sending fees, balance on nano ledger s is 5 BTC.  

Then any future transactions you did on your nano ledger s, your nano ledger s balance was never below 5 BTC.  Example after you sent the entire balance from electrum to nano ledger in increments, you then receive tiny amounts of btc from sites and then you sent those tiny amounts of btc to other sites.  Say you receive 0.05 btc and then send 0.03 btc to another site.  Thus nano ledger s balance went from 5 BTC to 5.05 BTC to 5.02 BTC.  You do many of these transactions but your nano ledger s balance never touched below 5 BTC.  So those BTC you transferred earlier always moves as long as you done some transactions after it even tough you never touch any of that original 5 BTC balance?  Could imagine change addresses if you start going below your 5 BTC balance.  So say in the example the person has total of 5.1 BTC balance on nano ledger s after all this.  That would mean that person has 0.95 BTC in one of those change addresses that start with number 3 and another 1 BTC in the other change address that start with a number 3?  

Then there would be 5 BTC - 0.95 BTC -  1 BTC = 3.05 BTC remaining total in many of the other change addresses?  So you need to manually add them up yourself?  Recall electrum was much simpler as you go to address tab and change addresses and you could literally see all your addresses just like that and add them all up?  So with nano ledger s, it takes lot more work going through each btc address and change address?

That is correct?  Again i want to make the math simple so wanted to use 1 BTC and 5 BTC as the math wlll be more simple and easier to look at.

322  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Which bitcoin addresses are the bitcoin located in the nano ledger s? on: May 18, 2022, 01:35:53 AM
So back then i used electrum to send and receive btc.  Recall whenever i would receive btc, always used the same receiving address and did that a lot.  Then after a bit, was told you should choose different receiving address so i then started to do that.  After a while, i then bought a nano ledger s.  When i set up the nano ledger s, i sent tiny amount of btc from electrum to nano ledger s and when i did that, i saw the tiny amount shown on ledger live.  This was years ago.  Then i would send the btc multiple times from electrum to the nano ledger s and each time i did that, you see a new transaction so i did many transactions back then when transferring the btc from electrum to nano ledger s.  Also each time i sent btc from electrum to nano ledger s, you would see the balance get added for each transaction etc.  So after those transactions, i have done several transactions of receiving and sending btc to gambling sites for example with the nano ledger s.  Almost all the btc that i had first sent from electrum to nano ledger s years ago, those stay there and after some btc transactions the last few years, the balance is a bit higher than when i first sent the btc from electrum to nano ledger s in many increments.  


But a while later, nano ledger stopped working and had to get a replacement.  Then after restoring the seed phrase with the help of some people here, and then removing and re-adding the accounts in ledger live, the btc balance showed up.  Then a while later, recall downloading electron cash on a pc and claiming the bch and it showed there.  Then i added bch account on nano ledger s and then sent the bch to the nano ledger.  When i did this, you see the btc balance and bch balance and total balance etc.


Then last time i had to wipe my computer.  Was told if i do that, just install ledger live again and once you connect your nano ledger s to your laptop, it would recognize it.  Then i installed the btc and bch apps and once i did that, saw my balance there.


So at the moment, when you click on portfolio tab, you see the total portfolio balance.  You also see btc and bch and the amount and balance of each.  Then you see the latest operations below where it goes back to all your transactions.  Now one weird thing happened a year or two ago... i forgot when but when i went to look at my latest operation history, some old transactions didn't show up.  Forgot if it was btc or bch but it didn't.   Has anyone here ever had this happen to them ever.  Recall someone telling me that is not possible.  But when i clicked on clear cache and then logged out and then logged back in, then i saw some missing transactions show up again.  That is a glitch?  However, don't recall once the amount or balance of btc or bch not correct in portfolio or accounts.


So everytime i ever received btc, i would have the nano ledger s connected and click on that btc account segwit and then it show the receiving address.  Then i copy and paste it to site that i want to withdraw and each time i do that, the btc would show receive in latest operations and it would be added to the balance.  Pretty certain i never reused a receiving address.  When i sent btc, and it goes through, would show the btc deducted from balance as well.

Is metamask a wallet similar to like myetherwallet or something?  its an online wallet and not like software wallet like electrum correct?
324  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What has happened with the mempool? on: May 16, 2022, 12:48:09 AM
Confused with the post.  You mean now the average cost to send btc is higher now in terms of sats?  Could you always send btc with just one sat regardless of average fees?
325  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Nano Ledger S Receiving Address Question on: May 15, 2022, 05:59:11 PM
Hi.  Well the thing is i am pretty sure i seen this receiving address before yesterday when i had this btc receiving address shown yesterday.  So is that possible?



i meant when i check my previous transactions on ledger live which showed when i received btc from a site or me sending it to a site, i never saw the btc address that i saw yesterday generated on the nano ledger in any of my previous transactions in the FROM or TO.  That is normal right?  For example when i look at all the times i received btc to my nano ledger when looking at the ledger live history of transactions, there is a FROM and TO when you check each transaction.  FROM means the btc address that was used from the site that had sent me btc correct?  And the TO is the btc address that i had gave that site to send to and then they sent it to me? Because each time i received btc a while back from these sites, the btc i received would be added to my btc balance segwit account.  The thing is the last time i received btc to my nano ledger was months ago... and the time before that one was a bit before.  But when i check that transaction, i saw a different TO receiving address each time which is normal right?  i don't remember the btc receiving address that was generated to me last few times and then gave that btc address to the site for a withdraw...but if it shows the address in the TO as completely different, then its obviously not the btc receiving address that was displayed to me yesterday right?  Thus i gave those sites a different btc receiving address months ago when i requested btc from them?  i did not do any transaction yesterday and thus did not copy and paste that btc receiving address to the site i want to withdraw because i was confused why i am positive i seen that btc address before recently.  Does that make sense?



So how do i check how many btc addresses i own in the nano ledger s that contains btc and how much btc is in each btc address?  For example with electrum years ago, all you had to do was go to look at the tab addresses and change addresses and you literally see you could have btc in like 25 different addresses and many could contain like 0.0005 btc whereas another one could be 0.5 btc.  So if you had them all up, it would be your electrum btc balance right?  How would i do this with the nano ledger s then?  Because all you see is your total btc balance in portfolio or accounts tab on ledger live.  Do you need to click on each receiving btc transaction on the latest operations to look at your history?  And if so, what do you need to check?  is it all the TO receiving btc addresses that shows in your latest operations for btc?  Then you add all the btc up?  Don't you also need to add up all the btc in all the FROM addresses transactions where you sent btc out as well?  What about the transaction id or that doesn't matter much here?  The FROM shouldn't matter since that is the address from the sender to you right?  i do see that each btc transaction shows the words bitcoin account segwit each time i sent or received btc previously to my nano ledger s when you want to view the details for each btc transaction.  Do you view each transaction in explorer? When i click on view in explorer, for some reason my antivirus program detects the site has dangerous?  Site goes to blockstream.info.  How do i check how many btc addresses i own that contain btc and how much btc in each address?
326  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Nano Ledger S Receiving Address Question on: May 15, 2022, 03:51:13 PM
When i clicked on receive and then choose the btc account segwit, it takes a bit for a btc receiving address to show up on my laptop screen.  So when i did that, am i generating a new receiving address or not?  Because everytime that i am going to receive btc to my nano ledger, i do that and then it generates a btc address and after i compare it to the btc address on the nano ledger s screen, then i click verify and then copy and paste that btc address to the site that im requesting btc from.  The thing here is that btc receiving address that was displayed, im positive i seen it before.  That is normal right?


So when you want to withdraw btc to your nano ledger from a site, are there two different ways to generate a btc address?  One way is the way i did it and it generate an address that i seen before... another way you do something else so it would generate a new address?   Because yesterday, when i saw that btc receiving address and then click okay and verified.  i then click on receive tab again and did same thing to generate btc receiving address and it showed the same exact one again.  Did it again and it kept showing the same btc receiving address.  But that is normal?


How do i check what was the btc receiving addresses that i used previously for my older transactions where i had btc send to my nano ledger s then?  Because i have seen this btc receiving address before many times i recalled.  How do i check what btc addresses the btc balance that is displayed on ledger live is?   Recall with electrum that was simple, you just went to addresses and there were tons of change addresses and you literally see where all the btc were because you would see lot of btc addresses.

 
What i did was check ledger live and check my old btc receive transactions and clicked on it.  For the last few transactions, you suppose to look at the address FROM and TO correct?  Because the TO would be my receiving address?  Because the last btc receiving transaction to my nano ledger shows a receiving address that starts with the number 3 but is not the btc receiving address that was shown earlier.  The same with the last few btc receiving transactions before that, shows TO and an address that starts with number 3 but completely different.


But i am close to positive i have seen this btc receiving address before on my nano ledger s.  Do you know how that could happen? 
327  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Nano Ledger S Receiving Address Question on: May 15, 2022, 04:08:29 AM
Want to withdraw btc from a gambling site to my nano ledger s and then send a tiny bit of that btc to another gambling site.  



When i connected my nano ledger s to my laptop and click on receive in ledger live, i would then choose the bitcoin account segwit which shows the btc balance.  When you click on dropdown menu, you see option of BCH account which i have BCH stored there.  Also there a is a btc account native segwit but it has no btc there.  Now when i click next when it is on the bitcoin account segwit and it shows my balance next to it, it then displays a btc receiving address that starting with the number 3.  So i have to look at the btc address on the laptop screen and on the nano ledger screen to verify it is the same address to verify.  What i then noticed was this btc receiving address that is displayed on both the laptop screen and the nano ledger screen, i seen this btc address many times and come to think about it, i might have used this receiving address many times.  The btc address i am close to positive i used this as a btc receiving address many times or almost every single time i received btc to my nano ledger.  So is that normal and default?  That is not good right?  But i only send and receive btc to my previous other wallets and gambling sites and exchanges and that is all.  Thus not to a regular person.



So by default, whenever you click on receive tab on ledger live and click on the btc account you name it, it always displays the same receiving address each time?  How would you generate a new btc receiving address? Had thought nano ledger generate a new receiving address each time by default... but when i saw this receiving address, im positive i seen this address many times.



Also could i copy and paste that btc address showing on my nano ledger receiving address into blockchair and it would display how much btc i have in that address?  is it very likely based on what i mentioned, the entire btc balance is in this btc receiving address?  Now im not even sure if my nano ledger ever showed a receiving address different from this one each time i get btc received?  Can someone here clarify this?  But since im withdrawing btc from one gambling site to nano ledger and then sending tiny amount of btc to another gambling site, is there much privacy concerns?  Can't imagine they would care much at all?  Then again, the people who process the btc cashouts most likely do no get paid much at all.



Also does ledger live sometimes display your btc or other coins or balance incorrectly?  The balance is correct shown on ledger live but should i ever clear cache just to make sure?  Each time i open ledger live, it takes a short while to synchronize but does synchronize and the coin and balance seem correct.  Did recall a while back for some reason some old transactions on my ledger live history wasn't there and disappeared but clearing cache made those old transactions reappear.  Anyone had that happen a while back?  This was a long time ago.



But right now, i want to know is this normal with the btc receiving address that shows to be one that i seen many times?  Why does it not generate another btc receiving address?  How do you make sure you have full access to your coins that shows on your ledger live?
328  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Sending and Receiving Address and Anonymity Question on: May 15, 2022, 12:35:33 AM
okay i will install LTC app on nano ledger a bit later.



Right now, i want to first withdraw some btc from a gambling site, and then deposit a small amount of that btc into another gambling site.  Privacy shouldn't be an issue when you do this right since its a gambling site and they have tons of customers who use btc then... would you agree?  Because i never thought about this when it comes to gambling sites.



When i connected my nano ledger s to my laptop and click on receive, i would then choose the bitcoin segwit account... its the default one.  When you click on dropdown menu, you see option of BCH account which i have BCH stored there.  Now when i click next when it is on the bitcoin segwit account and it shows my balance next to it, it then displays a btc receiving address that starting with the number 3.  So i have to look at the btc address on the laptop screen and on the nano ledger screen to verify it is the same address to verify.  What i then noticed was this btc receiving address that is displayed on both the laptop screen and the nano ledger screen, i seen this btc address many times and come to think about it, i might have used this receiving address many times.  The btc address i am close to positive i used this as a btc receiving address many times or almost every single time i received btc to my nano ledger.  So is that normal and default?  That is not good right?  But i only send and receive btc to my previous other wallets and gambling sites and exchanges and that is all.  Thus not to a regular person.

329  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Electrum LTC Verification on: May 14, 2022, 05:15:45 AM
Had electrum LTC installed years ago but then stopped using it.  Had reinstalled electrum ltc on my windows pc and did the verification of it.  Don't have any coins on electrum but wanted it on my laptop again.


Now with electrum LTC, is verification still the same?  Want to use it as a small spending wallet for storing tiny bit of LTC... like probably 20 to 50 dollars worth only.


Anyone here done the verification? 
330  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Sending and Receiving Address and Anonymity Question on: May 14, 2022, 05:10:21 AM
So when i install the ltc app, is it okay if i just call it ltc account for now?  Could i change the name of that account later on?  Then i would receive small amount of ltc from gambling site, and then send that 5 dollars to the mystery person?



i don't plan to buy lot of ltc for a while.  Just don't want an issue in the future though.



So let say later on i buy say 500 ltc.  Then i create a brand new second ltc account and call it long term ltc bag.  But when you generate a receiving address for that amount, you would then choose that account right?



So later on if you want to buy more ltc for long term storage, you would still be generating a new address each time right and not reuse addresses?  But it would be for the second ltc account?



But say i want say another 50 dollars worth of ltc and want to withdraw that from gambling site to the small ltc payments account.  Would still go to receive and click on that account right and then it would generate a new ltc address... even though its going to that same small ltc payments account?



So when you are going to send 5 dollars to that person, you need to use coin control to do it right?  But can't you just go to send and choose ltc and then click on that small ltc payment account and then the ltc you send would be coming out from there?
331  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Sending and Receiving Address and Anonymity Question on: May 12, 2022, 11:16:28 PM
But as long as i don't buy lot of LTC soon, i should do this?  Never had LTC installed on nano ledger so should do this?
Perfectly fine to do this, but the length of time between using the address is irrelevant, the history never goes away.

2. Download electrum LTC which i used years ago and use that?
I've never used any Electrum fork so no idea how reputable they are.

3. Download trustwallet on my windows pc or iphone and use LTC there?
Trust Wallet is closed source trash. Don't use it.

But could i create new wallet on electrum now... where the seed is already put in... but get a new btc address where any btc i receive and sent to will have no history?
If the old wallet is empty, then better to just start fresh with a new one.

But i wouldn't want to receive btc to the old seed phrase wallet because when send btc to someone... wouldn't it show my old history?
Correct. Just create a new Electrum wallet if you want to be free from history.

Receive small amount of btc in my current nano ledger but use coin control to make sure that way... that the person who receive the 5 dollar worth of btc doesn't see my btc balance on nano ledger?
This is also a perfectly valid solution.



Well if history doesn't go away, how do i get rid of that ltc wallet on nano ledger say might have few dollars or up to 500 dollars where i don't want it combined to say holding say 5k worth of ltc there?  Am just making this scenario up in case i ever decide to buy a ton of ltc.  So don't want privacy issues such as that person i make ltc payment to... would then see... hey this guy bought lot of ltc. 



Reason this is different is because im sending btc or ltc to someone... and not like an exchange so there could be privacy issues.



Because that is why i wanted to use like a separate wallet like electrum ltc or trustwallet for this because i want the ltc wallet on my nano ledger... if i ever buy ltc to be a wallet for holding.



if i start a fresh wallet in electrum on my windows pc now, will i be using the same seed or creating a completely new seed?  Obviously creating a new electrum seed would be completely new and have no history.  But could i create a new electrum wallet under the same current electrum seed?  Again there is no coins in my old electrum wallet seed but tons of history.  Now if i create a new electrum seed and use that, do i need to know my old electrum seed if i want to go back to that account and access it though?  Do have my current old electrum seed with me so not that big of a deal.



Would you suggest i avoid that coin control way even though you say it is valid?   Basically i want like a spending wallet and don't want it connected to my main wallet.  That is why i wanted to go with ltc as oppose to btc in the first plaace.
332  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Sending and Receiving Address and Anonymity Question on: May 12, 2022, 11:07:17 PM
is this coin control easy to use on ledger live? is it similar to like those inputs on electrum a while back?
It's easier to use with Electrum because it's a cleaner interface. But I had no problem doing it from Ledger Live either.   

Not sure if i ever tried this back with electrum but i recall wanting to either send or receive btc to a certain electrum address so i must have tried this a while back?
Am I seeing this right? Are you asking the Bitcointalk community if you used the coin control feature on Electrum? I guess we need to start keeping track of that. I am sorry, we will do better next time. Judging by how paranoid you are, I am pretty sure you never tried coin control on Electrum.

1.  install LTC app on nano ledger and request between 20 and 50 dollars worth from gambling site and then just send 5 dollars worth of LTC to that person?  But in the future if i buy lot of LTC, i wouldn't want that person to see that.  But as long as i don't buy lot of LTC soon, i should do this?  Never had LTC installed on nano ledger so should do this?
So don't use the same receiving address in the future when you decide to buy "a lot of LTC". Generate a new address and deposit your purchased coins to it and keep it separate from the one you use to pay that person with.

2. Download electrum LTC
3. Download trustwallet
You already have a Nano S that you can use with Litecoin. Why would you consider using something that is less safe like 3rd-party software wallets? Stick with the Nano S and use different addresses and accounts for different needs.


Pretty certain i used the coin control feature or something like that on electrum.  i remember btc showing in so many of my addreses in my old electrum where you get so many tiny amounts of btc.  Asked how do i get btc sent from a certain address in electrum and recall they mention how to do it.  Recalled very well when i did this, i had to pay more fees than usual because i was combining inputs?  That is term for this?  Recall i did this few times in electrum.  So coin control would cost you more or same when sending?



Well the reason why i was considering using electrum ltc or trustwallet is because it will have max 50 dollars on it.  Probably would have no more than 20 dollars total only.  So i want that ltc wallet to be strictly for these small 5 dollar payments that i have to do.  So because of that, kind of don't want to install ltc app on nano ledger because lf i say i have say only 5 dollars worth of ltc in my nano ledger, now let say i want to buy say 50 ltc from coinbase or whatnot in the future.  Then when i send that amount of ltc to nano ledger... it would be sent to a different ltc address on my nano ledger.  So would have say ltc address a with 5 dollars worth.  And ltc address b would have say 5000 dollars worth. 



How do i make sure that ltc address a never ever get mixed with address b?  So say now i want to send 60 dollars worth of ltc to that same person but don't have enough in address a.  How would i use coin control here?  Certainly i can't do this right?  Because i only have max 5 dollars worth of ltc in address a and 5k worth of ltc in address b?  i obviously can't send like 55 dollars worth of ltc from address b to a... before sending it to that same person since they would see the connection?  So only way would be withdraw like 55-60 dollars from a gambling site and either request them to send to address a.... or send to new address... then send the 60 dollars worth of ltc to the same guy?  Makes the most sense to reuse address A then right here since the 5 dollars worth of ltc would then be between 60-65 dollars so i could make payment to the same person?



But what happens when you have some change in your everyday wallet and you don't think you would ever use it anymore.  Let say it could be 50 dollars worth or up to 500 dollars worth. 



Say you don't want to leave it in that nano ledger address a anymore and want it combined so to speak.  Only way i could see no issue is if you send all the ltc from address a to an exchange like coinbase to keep there or cash out for something else because obviously security and privacy issues or not much of a concern since they have tons of customers with tons of money.

So thats if its a used windows pc right?  So if you start with the windows installation...  and then do a clean reinstall... would that be safe?  Or could malware be hiding under the bios or ram or whatever it maybe?


Could you clean reinstall it without setting it up first?  Last time i bought a cheap slow laptop and then set windows up that way but it was a new laptop from a major store.


So if it comes directly from dell, that would not be concern right?  But what if you buy a laptop from a big box store and even though it is new, it could be returned?  Could it have malware or spyware there?


What if you don't use the hard drive or ssd it has and use your own ssd?  But that is still not safe always?


What about if its a macbook?


What if its a chromebook? 


So you are saying it isn't save even buying a new laptop from someone reputable on ebay then?  Lets assume they have near perfect or perfect feedback and they are selling new windows, mac or chromebook.  Are you saying it isn't safe because they could put something in it and then sell it as new?  Or they are legit seller but where they bought it from... that person could put malware there?


Who here buys a new laptop and then does a clean reinstall on it before using it?  Heard some people have mentioned this before... and either they did it to get the bloatware out or because they had some concern about malware even if its a new machine.  i mean don't some big box stores sell you new laptops but it could be a returned laptop?



334  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Sending and Receiving Address and Anonymity Question on: May 12, 2022, 03:55:49 AM
is this coin control easy to use on ledger live?  Never heard of it.  is it similar to like those inputs on electrum a while back?  Not sure if i ever tried this back with electrum but i recall wanting to either send or receive btc to a certain electrum address so i must have tried this a while back?



Have btc and bch in nano ledger s.  These coins are for holding.  Previously if i send or receive btc, i would generate new receiving address.  When sending btc, i would just send to the address... i did not do any coin control or anything like that, never even heard of that term.  Thing is when i send btc, it was almost always to an exchange or gambling site mostly so i wasn't that concerned.  Previously i had sent btc to people a while back but this was a while back.  



At the moment, i want to withdraw between just 20 and 50 dollars worth of btc or ltc from a gambling site first.  Yes you read that correct, only a tiny spending amount.  Would then send that 5 dollars worth to someone that i have to pay.  Would do several of those transactions in the future.  So based on that... what is my best option in terms of choices?



Here are my 6 options.  Again, i want to send with being as private as possible without linking to my btc and bch wallets on the nano ledger and as little fee as possible.  LTC fees seem to be always low.



1.  install LTC app on nano ledger and request between 20 and 50 dollars worth from gambling site and then just send 5 dollars worth of LTC to that person?  But in the future if i buy lot of LTC, i wouldn't want that person to see that.  But as long as i don't buy lot of LTC soon, i should do this?  Never had LTC installed on nano ledger so should do this?



2. Download electrum LTC which i used years ago and use that?  Of course i need to download verify electrum LTC which is something im not a fan of.  But if i had electrum LTC already installed and verified, i would have just used this.



3. Download trustwallet on my windows pc or iphone and use LTC there?  Of course, the issue here is i need to verify the software?



4.  Currently have electrum installed on my windows pc and verified.  Thing is i also entered my electrum seed phrase into it a while back so i have access to the old electrum history.  Thus when i open electrum, i enter my password and then my old electrum wallet opens up.  With this electrum, there were some addresses... where i literally used the same address multiple times excessively.  Don't have any btc in electrum at the moment. So you would not recommend i use the electrum that is installed on my windows pc right because it would see my old history?  But could i create new wallet on electrum now... where the seed is already put in... but get a new btc address where any btc i receive and sent to will have no history?



5.  Now if i were to create a brand new electrum seed phrase, i know that would work since it would be a complete brand new separate wallet.  Should i do that instead?  Note... i currently do have my old electrum seed phrase with me so if i were to create a new electrum wallet with seed phrase... i can always go back to the older electrum seed phrase account because i have that seed phrase with me.  But again... that old electrum seed phrase which im currently logged in electrum have nothing in it at the moment.  But i wouldn't want to receive btc to the old seed phrase wallet because when send btc to someone... wouldn't it show my old history?



6.  Receive small amount of btc in my current nano ledger but use coin control to make sure that way... that the person who receive the 5 dollar worth of btc doesn't see my btc balance on nano ledger?

335  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin Wallet Recommendation? on: May 12, 2022, 03:27:53 AM
Don't know how to control multiple address and use for various purposes.


Again, what i want to do is receive maybe 50 dollars worth of btc or ltc in a complete separate wallet...where i would use it to buy few things online.  Thus i want it completely separate from my nano ledger.  Only have btc and bch on nano ledger so don't want to receive 50 dollar worth of btc from a website... then send 5 dollar worth of btc to someone and then if they check the transaction history, it could link to old addresses which contains btc.


But since i have no ltc installed on my nano ledger... do that instead?  However... could that person i send 5 dollar worth of ltc to... see how much ltc i have in the future if i buy more ltc?  So because of that, i want like an ltc wallet on my windows pc or ios phone.  So electrum ltc or trustwallet?  Had ltc electrum installed a while back but no more and that would require me to verify it and all that.  Again, this ltc or btc wallet would not contain more than 50 dollars at most.  its a spending wallet for buying things online.
336  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Current Sending Fee of BTC, BCH and LTC? on: May 12, 2022, 03:23:22 AM
Can use nano ledger wallet or electrum or maybe electrum ltc but need to download and verify electrum ltc so kind of don't want to do that.


Want to send about 5 dollars worth to someone.  Have windows pc, iphone etc.


Do you recommend just install ltc app on nano ledger since i have no ltc there?  Thing is i want to make sure it is private where the person i send any coin to... whether btc or ltc... can't check the transaction history.  What would you suggest then?  Trust wallet on iphone?  Again it won't be more than 50 dollars worth of ltc or btc or bch that i want to keep in this wallet.  its meant to buy some things online.
337  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ELI5: What happened to UST and why it happened? on: May 11, 2022, 04:33:52 AM
Am confused about this whole situation here.  Haven't many stablecoins dropped below their peg?  What was the big thing about TERRA USD?  Was it because it dropped so much?  The same thing happened with waves and USDN and it dropped similar to TERRA USD and then went back up to 90% + etc.  How come there wasn't that much talk about USDN compared to TERRA USD?



Also, wasn't it pretty obvious that TERRA USD was eventually going to go back to its peg of a dollar?  When i saw it went to 0.70, i thought... isn't it a no brainer to buy TERRA USD because it eventually will get back to at least 0.95 or so?  Someone did mention the upside was you make max 30 percent but you could lose the whole amount.  But isn't this little risk?



Also i read tons of people on twitter talking about this such as they lost 30% of their life savings and many were immediately selling their TERRA USD correct so they wouldn't lose more?  What i don't understand here is... why are these people so freaked out?  Did they literally had all their live savings in TERRA USD the stablecoin?  But what about Terra coin?  isn't it obvious TERRA USD stablecoin was going to go back to its peg or close to it later on?



it was mentioned they sold a ton of btc in order to try to get TERRA USD back to its peg.  So if they did that, isn't it obvious worrying about TERRA USD Peg isn't that big of a concern?  Still confused why so many people were freaking out over this.  So why do many people have so much in TERRA USD then?  Heard about anchor staking and they give like 19.5% but is that owning TERRA USD the stablecoin... and earning that amount of interest similar to like how people own GUSD and earn GUSD on gemini?  if that is the case, then i would understand why so many people would own a stablecoin like TERRA USD.  Or is that anchor interest just having TERRA coin and not stable coin?  Because you would earn interest but its not stablecoin interest.



Even saw on the terra reddit, there was a suicide hotline link shown.  i am still confused why so many people were freaking out?  Again i don't know much about crypto terms such as these sites liquidating shares and things like that but when it was mentioned they were going to sell billion dollars worth of btc to get ust back to its peg, why are people then concerned?  its not like hey ust is keep going down and the company is doing nothing at all to fix the issue? 



Also saw someone on twitter mention, if terra luna goes down in price, btc and all the other coins will go down but that is the only way to get TERRA USD pegged back.  Can someone explain this or why?  They then said if terra luna goes up in price, then the stablecoin TERRA USD would drop so it's a lose lose situation.  is that statement true and can others elaborate on this?  So if you own both TERRA USD and terra luna, what do you want to happen?  Don't you want terra luna to drop a lot so the TERRA USD to peg back to a dollar... then when bull market again, terra luna go up?  Could both TERRA USD and terra go to zero? 



So let say TERRA USD went to 0.  What would have happened?  All the cryptos would have dropped even more correct?  But are there people that put a ton of their savings in UST or Luna?  The way you see people responses on twitter on this, you feel as if all their savings was on it.  Now would this situation been the same or worst if say this happened to GUSD or USDT or USDC?  im aware UST is a top ten crypto but i couldn't believe why there was so much talk about this.  Were people that owned LUNA much more concerned than those that owned UST?  Assuming one person owned USD while another owned UST.  if you owned UST... the stablecoin should eventually get back to its peg.  LUNA... after a while should go back to its normal prices when bull market right?  So why so much talk about this?
338  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Sending and Receiving Address and Anonymity Question on: May 11, 2022, 02:19:06 AM
So if that is the case, then how are you getting much privacy then even when you generate a new receiving address everytime you receive btc or ltc?



So basically you need to make sure if you are planning to send btc or ltc from your nano ledger to someone else... make sure you receive enough btc or ltc first before you send them the btc or ltc... otherwise the person you are sending btc or ltc would know how much you have?  Or make sure your last receiving transaction before this, is enough to cover the amount you want to send?



So say someone has 1 BTC in their nano ledger s.  But now they want to send just 5 dollars worth of btc to someone else.  Then by sending 5 dollars worth of btc to someone... the receiver would somehow see the sender owns x amount of btc?  Thus that person could have 1 BTC in their nano ledger but it could be across say 5 or even 50 addresses?  So how would that person prevent himself to get exposed if he want to send 5 dollars worth of btc?  Request like 6 dollars worth of btc from a site to a new address... then send 5 dollars worth of btc to that person... so when they do that... the 5 dollars worth of btc will be coming from the new address so the receiver would only see small amount worth of btc?  



But does nano ledger always deduct btc from the last receiving address?  You say most likely but that isn't always?  Do remember electrum you could see how much btc are in each individual address... don't see that with nano ledger s.



So if someone wants to do small transactions when buying things online and don't want their nano ledger btc balance exposed, what would you suggest them to do?  Use a mobile wallet on the phone or download another software wallet on your pc like exodus or electrum and use that for small amounts?



Or use another crypto like LTC on nano ledger as that would be okay if you don't keep much a balance on it?  But what if in the future you get more LTC?  There is essentially the same risk if you make future payments and that person could check your history?  Thing here is i mean you are sending crypto to like a person and not exchange... so you don't know that much about them etc.  Not like an exchange where they have so many customers, they are looking at you etc.

340  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What a bear market actually looks like on: May 10, 2022, 07:00:14 PM
What of these coins has went to exactly zero?  Many of those altcoins i recall from a while back is low or has went to very low prices but i don't recall many going to zero.


Can you give examples of altcoins that never recovered from the bear market?  Example i remember two coins called wagerr and coss which were talked about a long time ago... and even now... as low as the price is... as long as you didn't buy it at the high marks, you could probably still get those coin prices up?
