UMC was already mentioned as the manufacturer of the chips in some earlier announcements. I remember the name either from sources you shared or maybe the Czech blog post that was posted on the forum a couple of weeks ago. 

UMC already operates out of two locations in China and if the US and China come to an agreement, maybe their Taiwanese headquarters will be called China in a few weeks or months as well. 

o_e_l_e_o has already covered this very well, so there isn't much to add.

An amount such as $100 isn't valued equally in all parts of the world and by all people. For some, it's their entire monthly salary, but for others it's something you spend on your friends on a night out. There isn't really a threshold that needs to be crossed for you to start using a hardware wallet or cold storage. Take any amount. Let's do $100 since that's what I mentioned earlier. Imagine that $100 worth of BTC in your possession. If you lost it tomorrow, would you a) laugh about it because it's such an insignificant amount in your life that it's not worth worrying about, or b) you would be holding your head in disbelief at what you have done not knowing if you will be able to put food on the table one week from now?

If your answer leans more towards "b", I would consider upgrading my security to make sure I decrease the possibilities of losing my coins.

It basically boils down to trust in one way or the other. You can verify the installation binaries, signatures, and firmware, and that will tell you that they are signed by the right people and originate from the official teams behind those wallets. And then what? How many people actually know what the open-source code does and check to make sure the developers didn't insert something malicious or made an unintentional mistake? 1/10? More likely 1/100 do that.

The rest of us mere mortals are stuck trusting that nothing malicious has happened and that those 1/100 that know what they are doing have done their jobs properly. The system is generally working quite well for popular open-source projects with significant communities. But all it takes is one intentional/unintentional mistake for it all to crumble. Hopefully, that'll never happen. That's why most people can't do much then rely on trust despite the saying: "verify, don't trust."

I don't know why they don't, but they really should for the safety of their users. Especially the inexperienced ones that might not know the dangers of buying from unofficial sources. Anyways, n0nce shared the following link to Trezor's Wiki above: https://wiki.trezor.io/FAQ:Ordering_and_shipping#Is_it_safe_to_buy_a_Trezor_on_Amazon.3F. 


There is a link in the Wiki that leads directly to the Trezor Amazon store. More precisely, it links to the Trezor Model T. It should however link to Satoshilabs' profile on Amazon where the customer can then select either the Model One or Model T. 

krogothmanhattan and minerjones do plenty of giveaways and raffles that involve physical coins. krogothmanhattan ships such items for free within the United States, but if the other party lives outside of the USA, the products get shipped to minerjones who handles the rest. Both individuals are trustworthy and if OP decides to have the HW shipped to his country and is OK with another forum member knowing his address, I would get in touch with those two dudes first. 

Never open Amazon in your browser and type "Ledger" or "Trezor". OP needs to make sure he goes to the official website and finds the links to the official Amazon resellers from there. 

OP is still a newbie. He/she has collected a decent amount of merits (for a beginner) but the account status has not changed because the required amount of activity points is lacking.

The balance is not exactly 0.6 BTC. OP mentioned it's 0.6104...ish.

I don't think easternklaas is interested to discuss this matter any further. It's been a week since the account was last seen online. I guess we will never find out what he found on the beach (assuming the story is true). Case closed... for now.

Do you believe the future of Bitcoin involves people doing background checks on the coins they are about to receive? So if I want to sell my bike for Bitcoin, I need to ask the buyer to tell me the address/addresses they will pay from and what's the origin of the coins, so I can check if they are in any way tainted. But keep in mind: we don't know what Wasabi and their analysis companies consider taint, and we have no idea what they are looking for. Only they do and they will tell us when our coins are rejected.

Korisnik fahbil je još 2018 napravio mobilnu aplikaciju za Bitcointalk.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4500633.0

Po onome što je napisao u početnom postu, aplikacija se može koristiti bez da se uloguje na svoj BTT nalog. To bi trebalo da znači da nije potrebno unositi lozinku. Probao nikad nisam niti imam namjeru. Od 2018 se ništa ne dešava po pitanju ažuriranja aplikacije a i korisnik koji ju je napravio nije više aktivan.

That's unfortunately the way the entire crypto gambling industry works. Crypto gamblers wanted to stay anonymous so in the beginning that's how it was. It's still like that at some platforms, but the casinos reserve the right to ask you to verify your account any time they see fit. In the future, there will be more of that. Ideally, that should be done at the beginning, but it isn't. Casinos are businesses that love making money, not losing money. They have therefore created a system in which you are free to lose, but when you win, everything about you can be checked. That does not justify your action of trying to cheat and verify your account using someone else's documents no matter how much it was raining.   

It might sound harsh, but that's what you should have done. The TOS is public but no one reads them.

Read the TOS and find proof of your statements. If you think you have a claim against FortuneJack, you can then file a complaint with the responsible gaming authority.

To bi onda moglo značiti da si uspješan kladioničar. Limiti ili čak zatvaranje naloga se dešava onima koji od kladionica uzimaju pare, osim ako nisi nešto drugo skrivio. U vrijeme kada sam se dosta više kladio, preferirao sam strane online kladionice. Veći koeficienti i mogućnost odabira samo jednog para a ne kao nekad u domaćim kladionicama gdje me lopovi tjeraju da odigram minimalno 3 ili čak 5 parova.

So, one brother stole $100 worth of ether from his own brother. How well do you know the guys and does the alleged thief seem shady to you? Does it sound like something he would do? You never mentioned if the ETH that was sent to the wallet is yours or not. Is it?

Chasing those $100 isn't worth the trouble. Law enforcement isn't going to do anything about such a small amount either. If you were to follow the trail of the money and realize that the coins were deposited into a centralized exchange, chances are that whoever created the account on that site has undergone KYC. But no exchange will disclose such information to random people, and you will be asked to involve the police and/or present proof or a court order.

The best you can do if you are friends with the victim is to teach him how to create his own wallet, generate and backup a recovery phrase, and keep the information safe from other people, including his brother.

Ako govoriš o ruletu, šanse su manje od 50% jer ima polje 0 kako je Trofo spomenuo u svom postu. A kod Američkog ruleta, šanse su još par postotaka niže jer osim standardnog polja 0, ameri imaju još jedno dodatno duplo 0. U fizičkim kockarnicama su mnogi sistemi zabranjeni. Kao npr ono brojanje karata koje vidimo u Holivudskim filmovima. Martingale nije zabranjen jer dugoročno predstavlja siguran gubitak novca. Da im je to prijetnja i da se boje da će im na taj način igrači uzeti veće sume novca, siguran sam da bi ti poslje par rundi Martingale sistema osoblje pokazalo gdje su vrata za izlaz.

Clipboard malware or not, if you verify the transactions you are making you would notice that the addresses don't match. Too many people are way overconfident and don't check anything and want to finalize and broadcast their transactions as soon as possible. Check the letters and numbers of the address character by character to make sure they are identical. When you are done checking, check again. Use a hardware wallet to be certain that the two addresses match. Hopefully, you won't make the same mistakes again. 

You don't invest money that you don't have. If OP is in debt of $6000, he should focus on returning and honoring that contract first. Debts don't disappear. Instead, they become bigger. What is $6k today can become $7k tomorrow if you are not careful.

Are you suggesting staking and similar irresponsible activates? Whoever has followed what's been happening on the crypto market in recent months will know how dangerous such platforms are and they ought to stay away from them.

True, but that's a whole lot of guesswork. Looking at the value of one output, you might say this is probably the change because it's the equivalent of $/€/£43.28, while the other entry of approximately $/€/£20 is the amount that was paid. But maybe that $/€/£43.28 equals exactly 1000 units in my local fiat currency and blockchain analysis got it all wrong. 

Dobro, onda mi nemoj vjerovati.
Netko je te sisteme i algoritme pravio i netko ih održava i provjerava. Taj isti netko može i da vidi ili sazna neke stvari. Situaciju mogu da iskoriste ako žele ali to se može uraditi na pametan način. Npr, nećeš odigrati brojeve za jackpot ili neki veliki dobitak, ali s vremena na vrijeme dobiješ neku siću koja se i onako vrti i isplačuje na bingu i to onda kladionice ne primjete. Znaš onaj vic kad se Fata vrati iz kurvarluka i kaže "markica po markica, 101 markica"!

As TryNinja mentioned in his post, the email he received was marked as spam. Maybe your email landed in the spam folder as well and you simply deleted it alongside other spam emails. Check your deleted emails folder, maybe it's there.

Only a part of the database was allegedly breached. Maybe you are not on the list of potential victims. 

Taj iznos je sigurno skupljen u jedno vrijeme kada Bitcoin nije imao ni približnu vrijednost kakvu ima danas pa tada onda to nije bilo nekoliko miliona.

Ne da mi se pratiti trag novca ali ova adresa na kojoj se nalazi 750 BTCa je imala samo tu jedno transakciju i ništa više.
Ova druga na kojoj je 500 BTCa je imala nekoliko transakcija prije i poslje depozita od 500 BTC. Ali nema promjena u stanju poslje Jula 2021.

I think it's Tron and TRX. He mentioned in the OP that he had 6000 TRX.
Blockchain data shows that 2.800 TRX was transferred from Huobi to this address: TNKk8nh8rDe3443vfaRN3bPZpujfQsMLJS.

He mentioned that his address is this one: TA4FabawZ5BsVaoWysywPxCSbomUBfVBsT.
But that's not where those 2.800 TRX went, and inserting that address on tronscan shows no results.

Zbog velikih lobija koji stoje iza te industrje igara na sreću okreče se glava. Na ovom forumu se često spominje open-source i "provably fair" kada pričamo o softverima i platformama za igre na sreću ali ko razmišlja o tim konceptima u tradicionalnim kockarnicama i kladionicama?
Bil mi vjerovao kad ti kažem da određeni ljudi koji rade kao informatički stručnjaci i IT za neke kladionice znaju tačno koji će se brojevi izvuči na bingu? Ali taj je kriminalni lobi previše jak da bi to ikoga zanimalo.
