You don't need to do this. You can simply uninstall one or more apps on your ledger to free up space, then install apps for the coins you need to use at the moment. When you uninstall apps from your nano s, your private keys for the coins are not lost, since your keys for all the coins come from the key stored on the secure element in your device.

All you have to do is swap out apps to use more coins than you can fit apps on your device, there is no need to buy multiple devices.

Investing money is like gambling , it's either you earn a lot or loss all the profit. However we need to trust and be confident in your decisions to earn more. The more you invest the more you have the chance to earn a lot. In addition try to research first what are the things to remember and background check is necessary.

Investing money incurs risk like gambling, but when you invest the odds are in your favor. There's a big difference.

Miners use up all your system's resources, including those that are normally used for rendering the desktop. Machines aren't really meant to be used at the same time they're mining. It's possible that if you're just using a CPU miner, that chrome is using GPU acceleration, which doesn't rely on the CPU to draw it's windows, just like your game would be doing. But it's really not optimal to try to mine and use your computer at the same time.

Just from some basic googling, it appears they were a ponzi/bitcoin doubler scheme, not a legitimate investment. However, if your blockchain app still shows you have Bitcoins, then those should be yours completely, and you should be able to send them as you see fit.

Oh no, sorry Nicehash users. However you should have not been investing in cloudmining in the first place. The profit gained is more advantageous to the operator than the user.

Having said that, is anyone expecting a twist in the story? All it needed was one heinous employee to execute the "hack".

Piss off you twat, it's a mining pool.

No, they also sold hashing power for BTC and some altcoins.

With that said, I'm not sure how much in BTC they sold but with the amount reported to be stolen, I would consider that they sold a large sum of mining contracts.

It's not cloud mining. Cloud mining is an all around shady business that usually isn't really what they claim to be. Nicehash was a hashrate marketplace, where they provided the market and took fees on people buying and selling hashing power. People didn't buy "contracts" for x amount of time, they just paid for it as they used it.

Thanks for linking my article! When I'm not working on classwork these days, I'm usually working on projects or coming up with ideas for new ways to improve our provably fair systems, like https://github.com/RGBKey/yolodice-sentinel
367  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How Come NiceHash Stored Nearly 5 000 BTC? on: December 08, 2017, 12:32:40 AM
Yeah, I was never a fan of their "wallet" system. It had stupid fees, and encouraged users to keep larger than normal balances on the site, which is why they held so much. Also, not everything was from mining, many users had money on there that they were using to buy hashpower. They were a "hashpower exchange" after all.

OKay then Etahn_NX.
Good to hear this from you on this matter as it is getting way out of hand on the amount of fees that miners are requesting for just sending a small amount of btc such as my example below.

I just bought 0.00262btc on coinbase. That went okay and it is in my coinbase wallet.
Now I was about to send out this small amount of btc out to my other wallet so I can send it to my casino wallet.
Now this is where the problem lies.
It is asking for a fee of 0.0008btc just to send out this small amount which leaves me with 0.00182btc left.
That is over $13 just to send out at the current price.

That's absolutely nothing that Ethan has control over. The entire Bitcoin network is super congested right now because of the incredibly high volume of transactions resulting from the crazy price increase. This is a result of the current lack of scaling on the Bitcoin network that is hoped to be solved with solutions like the Lightning Network.

Also, a warning: I've heard that exchanges like Coinbase in the past have banned user accounts for withdrawing directly to gambling sites. User beware.
369  Economy / Exchanges / Re: How to 'Cash In' on Coinbase? on: December 08, 2017, 12:28:20 AM
You can sell on GDAX, the exchange connected to Coinbase, and then either set up a bank account with Coinbase or just hold a fiat balance on there for a little bit while things die down.
370  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Legacy or Segwit on Ledger Nano S on: December 08, 2017, 12:26:39 AM
-SegWit wallet implementations could potentially be buggy since they're relatively new and not implemented on some major services

I doubt any reputable wallet provider would allow a buggy segwit release. I don't think that's an issue. That's why it's taking so long for some services to implement it, is because they're making sure they do it right.
371  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Legacy or Segwit on Ledger Nano S on: December 07, 2017, 08:48:49 PM
Yesterday I tried to use a Segwit address on Ledger Nano S, then tried to send some bitcoins from an exchange for testing, the site was telling me the address is not valid. Is there a possibility that some exchanges/web wallets don't support these types of addresses?
It's possible, but strange. Segwit addresses are just pay to script hash (P2SH) addresses and have been in Bitcoin since the beginning. The exchange could be doing the wrong thing and only letting addresses start with a 1, which is not how Bitcoin addresses work.
372  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Nicehash, exit scam? on: December 07, 2017, 07:33:38 PM
It don't think it's an "exist scam", they've been around for a very long time (not that that guarantees anything, but still). I do think there's a very high chance that this is an inside job and unfortunately I don't see how they're bouncing back from this.

That's exactly how exit scams work though. You stick around for a while to build up trust, and then you pull the exit scam. That's why it's called an exit scam.
373  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Hardware wallet - Claiming forked currencies on: December 07, 2017, 05:45:26 AM
is it easier/harder to claim the forked coins with electrum or nano ledger s?
Electrum will not directly provide you with an interface to use coins from forks. The Nano S probably will, given that the coin is of high enough value and enough people want it.

375  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Not seeing balance of segwit address in Bitcoin Core on: December 07, 2017, 02:45:04 AM
Yea, I mainly just use the GUI interface but thought I may as well try segwit. Looking forward to the next update.

I don't trust any lightweight/thin wallets after a bad experience with the now defunct Multibit. It lost track of all bitcoins and had to rescan every time I used it, then started saying my wallet was corrupted and not even rescaning properly. Luckily I managed to extract to Core and have been using that ever since. The few times I've used Electrum I've found it really slow at connected to Electrum servers and finding my balance.

I probably should invest in a hardware wallet but don't like the idea of paper backup and would far rather seed words on my computer, which defeats the purpose of a hardware wallet. I tend to throw out all paper, so I don't trust myself with wallet words. It's safer for that to be spread through my computers and backup drives.

I have a Nano S and I love it. If you don't want to use a paper backup, you could do what I do, create an encrypted container using VeraCrypt, use a strong password with it and inside store a text file with your seed. You can back that up however you want.
376  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Nano Ledger S - LiteCoin wallet? on: December 07, 2017, 02:42:51 AM
I can’t offer any help, as my Ledger Nano S arrives in Friday.  I’m really looking forward to using it.  Have you tried ERC20 integration through MEW?  Do you find it easy to use?  Seems like it would be from the videos.  I wonder if MEW integration would also allow LTC management???
Well at this point i am regretting i bought a Nano S and can't recommend it to anyone.

Relax, it's a great wallet. It's unfortunate that you're having issues but I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

Here are some steps to try from a reddit thread with someone who had a similar issue:
  • Stop Parity and Geth if they are running on your computer. Parity, at least, interacts with the USB layer and can interfere with the wallet app. The wallet app sits there telling you to please connect and unlock your Nano, not seeing it.
  • Check with another cable
  • Try with a different USB port or through a USB hub
  • Try to delete the Bitcoin app from the Manager, install it again and see if it's better (If you can get the ledger manager chrome app working)

If all those fail, try posting on https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet
377  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Not seeing balance of segwit address in Bitcoin Core on: December 07, 2017, 01:08:40 AM
Yeah, Bitcoin Core is definitely not the ideal Segwit wallet right now. Electrum has segwit support, but uses Bech32 addresses which aren't really supported anywhere. I've had my best segwit support from Samoura (Android wallet) and my Nano S.
378  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Nano Ledger S - LiteCoin wallet? on: December 07, 2017, 01:06:20 AM
I've never had those kinds of issues you're describing. The Bitcoin Wallet chrome app contains most of the altcoin wallets. To use Litecoin and most of the other altcoins (not Ethereum), you open the Bitcoin chrome app and the correct altcoin app on your ledger. So your steps would be to open the ledger Bitcoin chrome app, connect your nano s, unlock it, and open the litecoin app on your nano s. The window should then load on your computer and display the litecoin wallet.

Ethan, once the Lightning Network has stable implementations out, will YD be supporting it? I think it's super important that we get as many services on board as possible, and everybody loves less fees.

This is why people are freaking out: https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/1EnJHhq8Jq8vDuZA5ahVh6H4t6jh1mB4rq (Myself Included)

There's absolutely no reason for their hot wallet to hold 64 million dollars. That's completely inexcusable and a huge red flag.
