Is this recommended to be done on a different computer?  I read that claiming bitcoin cash, you should use another computer.  I assume using this on the same computer as bitcoin cash would be fine?  What about doing this on same computer as you keeping btc on the same computer with electrum?

I have btc stored in electrum.  I do have a password i put in it if you want to send btc.  Thus if you send btc, it ask for your password.  However, i did not put a password there for the encryption of the btc balance.  I also used electrum litecoin where i keep litecoin and when i click on it, i have to put the password in order to view my litecoin balance and history etc.


To those that use electrum, do you encrypt your wallet where you have to put a password on it before you can view how much btc is showing on balance?  Because if you don't, when you click on electrum wallet, it shows your btc balance etc.


I use windows.  What precautions can i take since i use a computer for it?  For example, i asked on a thread where i said if someone had access to my computer, could they install a keylogger or malware or program and then hack my electrum?  I was told yes.  This is true right?  I feel it has to be true since i read about people who download the wrong electron cash and then got their btc stolen... so that means if someone computer savy got your laptop, then you have no more bitcoin?


People say use cold storage or hardware wallet.  What exactly is cold storage?  The thing is what if you use electrum a lot to send btc to and from etc.  Would cold storage work for that?  About the hardware wallet, you mean trezor or the ledger right?  So if you had a hardware wallet, its impossible for someone to hack your bitcoin wallet?  So if you have trezor, you dont need electrum anymore?  So if you download the wrong electron cash on your computer but use trezor, your bitcoin are safe?   But what if someone had your computer and your trezor?  I assume they still need to know something for your trezor and if so what is that?  Is it a password or a number code?


Now let say you dont have a hardware wallet and just use electrum or exodus or your computer.  Well if you put a password on your computer at startup, is that enough or not?  Like if you put a password for windows before startup, its the one where you have to type it before you can use your computer... is that enough?  I did hear its easy to get by that and the windows password is useless.  Is that true or false?  I also heard people mention bitlocker or something like that.  Can someone explain this?  So having bitlocker would protect your computer information if someone had access to your computer?  Thus if they had physically possession of your computer, they would not be able to view your computer without a password?  Because i want to know what is the way to make sure no one can log into your computer if they were to say have access to it.  I assume this is the number 1 thing you could do to protect yourself besides not clicking on links etc?


Also there are tons of links and signatures here from poster etc.  Is there a very good chance some of these links posters post here are keyloggers/malware where clicking it could mean your bitcoin wallet such as electrum get hacked?

if im planning to send btc a lot from wallet to bittrex, then i could still use cold storage?  Well what if someone has access to your hardware wallet then? 


So basically if you keep btc in your electrum even if its encrypted to not show btc balance... they can just download a keylogger on it and thats all?


What could be done to prevent this?  So if you install a program like bitlocker to secure your computer such as you need to put a password on it in order to use your computer, would that prevent it or not?  I want to know what is needed to be done on my computer where if someone had access to my computer, they cannot view my electrum or anything else on my computer.  Because i believe putting just a password for windows 10 is not enough?

Okay so if want to encrypt my electrum similar to like how i did it with my electrum litecoin... does that password have to be the same as the one i send my btc?  Or is it suppose to be different?

Also do most people encrypt their wallet where if you open it, you cannot see the balance or account history?


What if someone had access to your computer?  Could they install a virus/program and that would mean you lose all your bitcoin etc?  Because i read about people downloading the wrong electron cash for claiming bitcoin cash and gold etc and then their electrum wallets got hacked and coins emptied.

Hi there.  So does that mean the electrum password could be the same one when you open it... and when you send it?  Or is that not recommended?  Or is that preferred?


Also if someone i mess this up, as long as i have the 12 word seed, then there is no issue at all right?  Because i read something related to it where if you create another electrum wallet on your computer... then when you open electrum, it opens the last electrum that you use?



With my electrum litecoin wallet, i have to put in a password to open it to view balance etc.

Okay so if i send btc from my address, there will be a trace no matter what right?


So does that mean if i receive new btc now... and have them sent to a different btc address on my electrum... then when i send btc to bittrex or another site... as long as i click send btc from this address, then there is no trace etc?  I dont mind trace but if it can be avoided, i would prefer that as i do want to be more anonymous.

These are the coins under 1 dollar that im thinking about.



Funfair
Edgeless
Bitshares
XEM
XLM
IOTA
Bitbean



Thoughts on these?  Bitbean is like 1 percent of 1 cent...

Does anyone know at what price funfair and edgeless first got listed on bittrex?


And does anyone here think its good idea to buy these?

Thoughts on this?  Im considering this mainly because btc price is very high now and i could get good amount of waves as the price hasn't went up that much yet.

Can someone tell me when these altcoins like waves, nem etc were available on bittrex?  Were they easy to buy a lot of it back then?


Is there a way to know when exactly certain altcoins got listed on bittrex?  Such as was waves listed there when it was 20 cents?  Or not until it was 1 dollar etc?  What about litecoin and those other coins?

Anyone who use hitbtc have any comments?

When i open electrum on my computer, it shows the btc balance and history.  When i send btc with it... i have to put the password though in order to send btc.


I also have electrum litecoin and when i open it... it ask for the password before i can open up electrum where i could view my litecoin balance etc.  I believe i did this when i installed litecoin. 


Can someone tell me how i can hide my balance in electrum when i first open electrum?  Also this is more safer right?  So that means there are 2 encryptions for electrum wallet?  Thus one should always have the password encryption for sending btc.  The other would be called encryption for opening the wallet?  Can someone tell me what this is called?  Also, is the encryption password for opening electrum suppose to be the same password as the password you put down when you send btc or litecoin etc?  Thus if you have a password for opening the wallet to see the balance... is that generally the same password when you are readying to send btc or litecoin etc?

It would seem you need lot of money to even do this.  I mean imagine you had 10k to get bitcoin now.  How long you think it would take for btc to 100x?

Also how did waves go from 20 cents to over 5 dollars then?  Because back then, there always was 100 million waves in circulation right?  And what does that mean?  You mean 100 million waves that are out there by the public?  Because with bitcoin, i know there is 21 million but apparently around 16 million are in circulation only.  So where are the other 5 million or so?


But with waves, how did it go from 20 cents to 5 dollars when there was 100 million waves?  Because the marketcap was only 20 million at the time?  Thus it fit the criteria of between 10 and 50 million marketcap?

Okay so market cap is the most important thing to look at?  So basically only bet coins between 10 million and 50 million dollars?  Because under 10 million coin marketcap means that coin is useless or shit coin... but any higher than that... its already high where it cannot go up that much?


If that is the case, can someone explain why all the coins in the top 30 or so basically all 20x or 50x or 100x or more then?  And what about those coins like shift that are 1 cent but then over 2 dollars now?  Could you have gotten a lot of shift when it was 1 cent?


On coinmarketcap, there is also the word volume.  What does that mean?  Does that mean thats how many coins were traded that day for that coin?  Thus even if the volume was 2000, that meant 2000 coins was bought/sold that day etc?  And where does that number come from?  I assume all exchanges combined?  Or only the popular one like bittrex?  So anyone that used shapeshift... did that count towards the volume?


Okay few examples i want to use


Funfair
Stellar Lumens
Edgeless


Do these fit the criteria of coins that are good idea to invest or not?  Stellar lumens is less than 5 cent but because the marketcap is already so high, its just cannot get to 50 cent or 5 dollar?  Funfair is less than 3 cent but market cap is 100 million.  So the odds of this coin going to 1 dollar is just not possible?  Edgeless however is more than 50 million and 70 cents a coin or so.  I heard lot of good thigns about edgeless.  So this coin could go up to 10 dollars, 50 dollars etc?


What about shift then?  I noticed the price doubled and the market cap doubled but its still less than 20 million cap.  So that would be a coin to invest due to the low market cap?


What about the supply?  Is that a big thing as well?  Because if a coin only has 100000 coins... vs say 10 million or 1 billion or 10 billion, does that mean a lot as well?  Or it does but not as much as market cap?  NEM is 21 cents and has market cap of almost 2 billion dollars.  There is a supply of almost 9 billion coins.  So this coin should probably be avoided because there are way too many of it?



Is there a number for circulating supply where okay don't buy any coin that has over 500 million coins etc?  Or 100 million?

Well then how did coins like shift, waves, nem and those coins that started out less than 25 cents did this then?  These coins all 20x minimum... some of these coins cost like 0.0001 so these essentially 1000x or 10000x etc...  Is it because back then the market cap was so low?  Thus because the market cap is high for almost everything, its not possible for coins like these to go from 5 cent to 1 dollar or 20 cents to like 5 dollars anymore?

Any thoughts on


Funfair
Iota
Edgeless
Mercury
XEM

Bitbean



Also is it possible for coins now to got from 10 cents to 1 or 2 dollars anymore or this is not possible due to the marketcap for these coins being so high?  Thus many coins did 10x, 20x, 50x earlier.  But what is the last coin to do something like this recently?  Thus coins that are under 1 dollar ... but i really want to know of like under 50 cents or 25 cents which went up a lot.  Because if you start out as 5 cents... and go to 1.25... that is 25x.  That is more impressive than going from 1 dollar to 5 dollar because that is only 5x.  Thus getting a lot at 5 cent means you X the amount many more times than a coin at 1 dollar.

I did.  But how would i know how much shift one could buy?  There is volume and marketcap shown.  Which one is it?  For example if you look at beginning of the year, price is about 1 cent. 

241   is the volume
 
95,577  is the marketcap


Does that mean the marketcap in $ was only $95577?  So what does 241 in volume mean?  So the price is about 1 cent at the beginning of the year.  So how much shift could one buy?  Could one buy 10000 of these?  100000 of these?  Because if its 1 cent... well that would be 100 dollars or 1000 dollars only.
