It's not that hard to run a node using RaspberryPi or some other small format low power computers, but I agree that most people won't do it without a good reason.
If they are not sending and receiving coins daily or on regular basis, then they probably don't need to run full node and download full blockchain.
Any business that deal with Bitcoin should run a full node and Lighting Network node.

Unless you are government official of some corrupt country, than you can run anything you want 
I know several examples of people like that doing Bitcoin for years in some countries (maybe they still are), and story even broke out in news.

That currently works only because Bitcoin is not widely accepted by merchants, so regulators simply couldn't enforce stupid regulations on everyone.
Imagine that you had to pay everything with Bitcoin, but merchant would be forced to scan your sending address to see if there any any alerts for avoiding your coins.
That is why EU is now working on new regulations and this would mean reporting of every little thing and all transaction people are making.
One more danger is the new labeling for efficiency of blockchain in new EU MiCA regulation act.

I don't know how BTCapsule works with this, but last time I checked pruned node for Bitcoin was around 5.1 Gb in size, that is significantly less than full blockchain that is around 86 times bigger.
https://prunednode.today/

Is there any difference in security of BTCapsule runing on Linux and wInD0ws operating system?
There are significant number of people who are using MacOS (maybe higher than Linux), so it would be good if you could add BTCCapsule software for MacOS.

At this point I will consider any centralized service and exchange that holds customers private information to be only one step away from sharing all this information with everyone in the world.
If people are still OK using all this services after so much hacks, leaks, liquidations, and other similar stuff, than they shouldn't be surprised if they get scammed in future.
It's even crazier that governments are now pushing harder than ever this digital identity crap and CBDC, and we should just trust them, yeah right.

This is nothing, compared with the risk you are accepting signing up for services like this.
When you add high inflation of fiat currencies this 10% get's even less important for people who invested stable coins.

I can't believe almost a year passed since last Bitcointalk Community Awards, but I am looking forward for new one and thanks for doing this icopress.
Better to add rules that sending merits is not allowed, or maybe theymos could maybe disable merit option for this topic all together, if that is possible.
I think I saw few topics that had merit button removed (that would be best option here) but maybe I only imagined this things

I agree with this, but doing voting without any rules is also not good.
Newly registered accounts and recently activated accounts should not be allowed to vote, if we want to have nearly as fair voting results.

Maybe there is still a theoretical chance that some important secure leftovers could remain in secure element, and that could be exploited by malicious attacker.
Passport used old Coldcard code as a base and they are the first ones to introduce this feature, knowing how old secure elements they used had known security flaws, this is not totally impossible.
You won't hear about flaws in ledger and similar blackbox devices, because they signed secret NDA  
Anyway, I like this self-destruct mechanism, other wallets have this enabled when you try to open device and mess with the inside.

Passport is hardware wallet for (old) 007 James Bond, mi6 only needs to add special bomb explosion option when you enter wrong pin 13-1 time   💣

I don't really know much infiormation about that, but you can ask NVK and coldcard team.
There are few videos Coinkite-Coldcard released on their youtube channel explaining how NFC feature works, showing address via NFC, and signing a text message using NFC.
BTC Sessions also released full 30 minute tutorial how to use Coldcard with NFC feature, so you can check out both of this channels.

Blockstream Jade made interesting update in their latest firmware version 0.1.38 with support of CompactSeedQR codes.
This contains 7x7 square table grid, and this codes can easily be drawn on a piece of paper and it reminds me on game I played on my school paper.
I am not a fan of Jade hardware wallet, but I like this new CompactSeedQR codes and I wonder if someone saw them in other Bitcoin wallets?

Try telling that to all the people who are using shitcoins like ethereum, that now have 52% of all blocks being OFAC compliance, it's growing all the time according to mevwatch.info, and now it has built in censorship for transactions!
You can also write your government and all other governments and complain to centralized exchanges who all say that tainted coins exist.
Welcome to the crypto main stream narrative, I hope you like it

I sure don't like this, but closing my eyes won't change the fact that people can run into problems if someone catches them with coins coming from some hacks and exploits.
One solution is to stop using centralized exchanges and services, that will reduce potential problems, but you can't avoid them totally.
We could also use Lightning Network or second layer solutions that can also break connection with your previous transactions if done correctly.
Perfect solution would be if Bitcoin would implement protocol based privacy changes, but I am not sure this will happen in next few years.

This is your third topic about exact same thing and it was not needed at all.
I appreciate you are working on this project, going open source and giving it for free, but there is still a problem I initially wrote..
someone can fake the data and abuse your program, and he doesn't even have to be super-duper hacker at all to do this.
I am not saying your idea is bad, but you need to rewrite everything from scratch and use some different method of calculating time, maybe by using multiple sources of information.
This is not easy problem to solve, but I think you are going in right direction, so maybe try asking suggestion and opinion from known bitcoin security experts.

How would people know if their card came preloaded with seed words for 1 Bitcoin?
I don't know if you are claiming that your encryption is impossible to crack, but consider sending this ten cards to known hackers and security experts, not to some random crypto normies and metamask users.

More than you think, and you can count in all signing devices like SeedSigner and air-gapped hardware wallets Passport, ColdCard, Keystone and others in that mix.
It's not that hard to own old laptop with no direct internet connection, and it can have full disk encryption in addition to file encryption.

I wonder how did they survive for so long with one  
With your product people need to use smartphone and they are all connected to internet all the time, plus the cell tower connection.
I don't care really about shitty metamask wallet and how they are handling their supported centralized coins.
 

Wasn't he celebrating comeback in forum just a few days ago?  
Maybe he should add more information on his graphic designer portfolio, adding multitasking and ability to operate multiple forum accounts and pretend they are not connected.

Dude I don't understand why you care so much about this guy and his personal information than about your connection with him.
I know doxing is bad and not allowed in forum, but Naim basically exposed himself and dig his own grave, for all of his (known) accounts.
Regarding your connection with Casino Critique account, you made a mistake of hiding this information from public but you revealed it to some members and I don't understand why.
You can't expect everyone to keep your secret and be angry on them for exposing it  

He was probably doing some design work for Casino Critique, but he has a big mouth and he is not very smart.

Mental illness or some other hidden motives maybe...
Why is he not banned again for Ban evasion with all his alt accounts?

Is it so hard to use your main account and tag him yourself?
Instead you registered new account just to post this... sorry but this is so pathetic.
I know one coward member who likes a lot tagging everyone who wears signatures he doesn't like...

Some people don't like, they avoid or they are afraid of tagging members wit a lot of positive feedback or if they are DT members.
No need to post begginers guide for someone who is obviously not beginner at all
I don't see any signature on FFrankie profile so he probably removed it.
 

This would be almost impossible to prove, and I don't see how anything  can be improved with this.
You are always going t have liars everywhere, and I think most of the people here told some lies for various reasons, most obvious is privacy.
Some could say that Satoshi was the first liar, when he said that he is a man from Japan in one of his profiles

Naim027 is an asshole and abuser, but that is why we have trust system and it works good with cases like this.
When I suspect someone doing stuff like him I could add in my personal Bitcointalk UserNotes script, or write in in public on his profile.

Any tool you would use instead of Trust system would be public, so I don't see any difference here.
You can use Bitcointalk UserNotes script if you don't want to make your notes public.

There was no issues with forum CSS on my side today.
I also think that Cloudflare might be causing problems for you, but it's strange how it only affects certain users and not everyone.
Maybe try using different browsers and delete all your browsing history and cookies, starting fresh.

Pripazite na sumnjivu elektroničku poštu!
Istarska policija je objavila prijave građana koji su na svoje email adrese dobili sumnjive prijeteći poruke u kojima ih nepoznate osobe govore da su na njihovuređaje instalirali malware programe.
Tako su dobili pristup njihovim osobnim podacima i traže da im se uplati iznos od 9000 kuna u Bitcoin-u, a to je sada samo 0.06 BTC-a.
Ovo mi izgleda kao epošta koju sam primao nekoliko puta o mojim navodnim video zapisima seksa kamerom koju ni nemam instaliranu

Držimo se samo Bitcoin-a za decentralizaciju, a za sve ostalo je najbolje reći da su centralizirani shitcoini, a najveće govno od svih je ethereum
Ako malo pogledaš da im je jedan od glavnih ljudi u etherum foundation žena Aya Miyaguchi koja je u vrhu WEF-a onda ti je sve jasno, a pisao sam i ranije za njihovu cenzuru transakcija.
Kad sam nedavno pisao za mevwatch.info bilo je oko 30% censured transactions, sad je 52%, a uskoro 99%

@sbogovac hoćeš možda tamo plaćati ''ovo'' sa eth?  
Već su ih počeli nuditi u vašim školama:

It's not so unbelievable and yes it's real.
I know several exchanges that have much bigger daily withdrawal limits, so compared with them Poloniex is nothing.

It's $50K, not 50 dollars... that is how much money you can withdraw every day.

That is always a risk with any centralized exchanges, especially if they think you sent them coins from addresses that someone reported, or it has some connection with hacks.
Normal users should be fine with smaller amounts, but I would still recommend switching to decentralized exchanges like Bisq or other p2p trading.

It feels like I am time traveling and using ''good-old'' dial-up internet, only thing I am missing is that familiar squeaky sound
One more thing I noticed is that Sinbad is using only telegram for support, but link is not opening any group or a channel, but some bot so we can't see anything.

I agree with you but many websites are still using Cloudlfare (including Bitcointalk), maybe because there is no better alternative for ddos attacks.
