4681  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: What wallets I can use to get Segwit and Taproot addresses? on: July 10, 2022, 08:58:29 AM
As of today there is no wallet (that I know of) that generates Taproot addresses although it is supported at a protocol level. But pretty much every wallet made after 2019 supports Segwit addresses.
Ledger hardware wallets and the native Ledger Live does. If you are using the latest firmware, it contains the needed support for Taproot. You can create a Taproot account just like a Legacy, Nested/Native Segwit account. After that, you can generate Taproot addresses, send, and receive coins. I haven't tested it personally, but the option is there.

When it comes to the choice between Native Segwit and Taproot addresses, I would go for Native Segwit. Taproot is still new and lacks significant support to be used daily without running into difficulties when transacting.

Wasn't sure where to post it, so I will just briefly mention it here.

The official Ledger website is now calling their Ledger Nano S the Ledger Nano S: Final Edition. I am not sure when this was changed, I just noticed it now. Sorry, if it was mentioned already. Anyway, it's the end of production and the last 10.000 devices will include an NFT of some sort. Roll Eyes

There are a few pictures of this digital collection on https://shop.ledger.com/products/ledger-nano-s-final-edition.
Doesn't seem appealing to me, but I guess every product has its buyer. Hopefully, they won't drop support for the Nano S after a few months.
4683  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: New to Nano X Ledger and might have loss a transfer. Help please ? on: July 10, 2022, 08:28:13 AM
You shouldn't import your Ledger-generated seed into a hot wallet such as MetaMask to recover your MANA because you will be risking all your other assets as well. Especially if you have Bitcoin and some other alts of a significant value. Using that seed with MetaMask doesn't make it secure anymore.

I would move all my other crypto assets into different wallets generated from brand new seeds. After that, you can think about importing that seed into a hot wallet. If you mess up or get phished, the worse that can happen is you losing your MANA instead of MANA and everything else.   
4684  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Anyone tried FTX swap with Ledger Live? on: July 10, 2022, 08:12:11 AM
I am sure that Ledger takes a cut when you swap your coins with the new FTX and Ledger partnership. I remember doing a similar check without doing an actual swap with one of their other partners in the past. I just checked the rates. The offered rates in Ledger Live were worse than what I was offered on the exchange website. There is no reason to think that things would be different now with FTX. I can try something similar with FTX just to check the rates later. I am not doing their KYC though. Cheesy

How downloaded file can be checked?
It's not possible to verify the Ledger Live installation binaries right now. When they abandoned the old GitHub repository and moved to a new one it stopped working. But the Ledger team should be aware of the problem and there was talk about this on reddit.

Their reddit moderator knows about it.

I wonder why Ledger's website only shows 2.42.0 for Ledger Live Releases and therefore no sha512 hash? https://www.ledger.com/ledger-live/lld-signatures

I assume some script broke when transitioning to the new monorepo on github - I'll notify the team, thanks for noticing

4686  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Which is the best Hardware Wallet ? on: July 10, 2022, 07:49:35 AM
I will only do a head2head between Ledger and Trezor as the two most popular brands in this space.

1. Security - DRAW
- When it comes to the security of your seed and private keys, both manufacturers have done a good job in that regard and your keys remain your keys unless you give them to someone. I am leaning slightly towards Ledger due to a secure element, but since you would require physical access and the technical know-how of how to extract a PIN/seed from a Trezor, and you can mitigate the vulnerability with a complex passphrase, it's not too big of a worry for me.

2. Compatibility - DRAW
- Both wallets can be connected to several third-party apps in case there is no native support in Ledger Live/Trezor Suite.

3. Ease of Use - Trezor
- Ledger requires you to install individual crypto apps for your assets, but that's not the case with Trezor. If you use the old Nano S, you will run out of space after installing two stand-along apps. Although it's not an issue for me personally, I will give this point to Trezor. Working with and following the on-screen instructions on Trezor Suite/Ledger Live isn't difficult for anyone who has been using a computer long enough.

4. Option to store X number of coins - LEDGER
- Ledger supports more coins and tokens than Trezor. There is also no difference in support between the Nano S and the Nano X and both can work with the same assets or not. With Trezor, it happens that one model supports one coin, but the other doesn't.

5. Price - LEDGER
- Ledger hardware wallets are cheaper than Trezor devices. No need to explain this any further.

6. Privacy - TREZOR
- Both are privacy-invasive in their own ways. There are features you can opt out of but data collection, data storage, and sharing of data is a thing. Ledger stores private information of their users longer than Trezor, so the point goes to Trezor.

I just noticed something I never thought about before when it comes to the names of the casinos. Wolf.bet and Tower.bet, for example. I see that the name you gave them is Tower and Wolf without the .bet domain. Somehow it feels like the domain is part of the name and something is missing when you just say "Wolf" without the .bet. Do you not consider the .bet as part of the entire brand name?

In that case, shouldn't BC.game just be BC because .game is also a domain you can buy? Looks kind of naked to me. 
4688  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Wasabi blacklisting update - open letter / 24 questions discussion thread on: July 09, 2022, 11:00:23 AM
After all, Bitcoin is here to set us free from the heavy chains of our current monetary system.
But that's exactly what you are not supposed to be in their eyes. That's why there is so much focus on destroying what Bitcoin is and it has nothing to do with stopping criminals, pedophiles, and whatnot. It's about stopping all of us using and trusting something out of their reach. It's the same as with the POW mining objectors. It's not about having people move to clean energy sources or incentivizing them to do so, it's about attacking a core feature of Bitcoin in an attempt to give it a hard hit that would be difficult to recover from.
4689  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: MBTC in Electrum Wallet on: July 09, 2022, 09:32:06 AM
Not to get into a whole discussion about this, but mBTC is the stupidest denomination I can think of in crypto with the exception of gwei for ETH (and I'm not even sure what a gwei is, but ETH owners are apparently supposed to know).
I agree with you that in many cases it's unnecessary, but there are situations where it can help. For example, it's easier to tell someone to pay you 0.5 mBTC instead of 0.0005 BTC. What was the first thing you did when you saw the BTC amount? You counted the zeros, right? 0.5 is easier to remember than a 0 followed by a dot and 3 more 0s. However, I never use or think in mBTC denominations.


Btw, why is mBTC the default coin denomination in Electrum? I am sure there is a reasoning behind it. If we compare it to a standard ATM, I am sure people would agree we don't want the ATM showing us options to withdraw 5.000/10.000/50.000 cents. We would like to see the $ amounts instead because people think in $ amounts not in cents when they are using the USD.   
4690  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: [TUTORIAL] - How to create a multi-signed wallet on Electrum on: July 09, 2022, 09:10:52 AM
@gagux123
Some time ago, RickDeckard took the same steps you took and recreated the guide, but his screenshots are in English. This is the post btw. I see that your OP still contains the images in Portuguese. Maybe you should consider using the ones in English to make the post even better.

I am not a native speaker of English and please correct if there is incorrect grammar.
There isn't anything significant to correct and those who understand the procedure won't have difficulties understanding what you are talking about. But if you do want to correct something, you mistyped "click" on two occasions and wrote "clicks" instead. As in "clicks next". It should just be "click" without the "s".

Great tutorial!
4691  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano S Plus on: July 09, 2022, 08:30:58 AM
You can replace this with new device if it's still in warranty, but question is what happens after warranty expires?
You can test it yourself like I did. Make up a story and contact their support. They will ask you to prove the claims by sending photos and/or videos showing the problem. Most probably you are going to need a valid ticket ID. If they are satisfied with what you sent them, they will tell you what to do next. Depending on the problem, you might get a free replacement no matter if the device is under warranty or not.

It is not clear to me why a company with great resources and experience can't produce a HW wallet with normal quality.
It's simple really. Better quality means greater initial investment in the materials, which reduces their profit margins. As a result, they earn less or they have to increase the price of their devices. If that happened, people would than complain less about the build quality, but would complain about the increase in price.
4692  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: [LIST] Open Source Hardware Wallets on: July 09, 2022, 08:16:28 AM
Bitbox is collaborative with authorities
Collaborative in what way? Are they collecting, storing, and sharing user data with government agencies upon request? I am sure they all do that. Companies (crypto-related or not) have to respect local laws and regulations and aren't exempt from them. Maybe you are talking about the Address Ownership Protocol (AOPP) they support when you said they collaborate with the government. 
4693  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Which hardware wallet to buy? on: July 09, 2022, 08:06:38 AM
My cryptos are the following, have read each one will require different appa? If anyone can give me an idea which apps I will need for each one?
Bitcoin
Quant
Algorand
Polygon
Cronos
Decentraland
Enjin
Shiba Inu

All those coins are natively supported by Ledger. That means you won't need any third-party wallets that have to be connected to your Ledger device. When you get your Nano S Plus and you set it up, just start typing the name of the assets in the Device Manager and install the appropriate crypto apps. After that, it's just a matter of creating an account, generating and checking if you have the correct address, and transferring your coins from Coinbase to your Ledger.

The only difference is Shiba Inu, which is an ERC-20 token that should be kept in an Ethereum account. Unless SHIB has migrated to a mainnet and become a coin in the meantime.

Neka privatna Telegram grupa s 10-tak članova ili dobri posloženi Discord sa stotinjak članova je OK.
Sa ovim prvim se slažem. Ako je samo odabrana ekipa dio grupe to je ok. Ako ljudi imaju isti interes, onda nije ni bitno gdje se o tome razgovara. Javne grupe gdje se svako može priključiti i dobiti pristup i odmah početi spamati o novom Bitcoinu i viagra tabletama nisu za mene.

and btw all phones are manufactured in China.
I know that, but I was talking about proper Chinese brands like OPPO, Huawei, Meziu, etc.

I bet someone created similar one-click software for breaking regular pins and passwords, and you can only imagine what real hackers and gov agents have in their toolboxes.
Let's just say that if you are involved in any kind of criminal activities, you shouldn't carry your smartphone with you when you are spending time with or talking to your criminal syndicate. Cool And consider everything you have ever stored on your phone as retrievable in many cases. 
4697  Economy / Gambling / Re: Pmalek’s Collection of The Best Gambling Threads and Discussions on: July 09, 2022, 06:56:20 AM
A new thread has been added to the collection. Mahdirakib's Loyalty Bonuses & Promotions on Crypto Casinos and Sportsbooks can now be found on the top of the table. If you want to check what kind of offers are available to new and existing players, I suggest you take a look at it. Don't forget to read the TOS to understand the requirements for each bonus or promotion. 
4698  Economy / Gambling / Re: Loyalty Bonuses & Promotions on Crypto Casinos and Sportsbooks on: July 09, 2022, 06:47:54 AM
Great work with this collection Mahdirakib. If you run out of names or you are unsure what casinos to add, feel free to take a look at my collections where you have made significant contributions yourself by suggesting good platforms.

There must be gambling websites or other casinos that also have loyalty bonuses or promotions but you haven't listed them yet, my question is have you tried all the promotions from the casinos on your list?, just curious
It's really irrelevant if OP tried all these bonuses and promotions himself. It's unlikely that he did considering how many there are and how many more will be added in the future at one time or another. It's a list of what is available out there and if you are interested, you can check out what seems appealing to you personally.

This is nice, but the list is too small because most gambling sites that I know are not in the list. GXGBET, BECH.games and etc are not found in the table.
GXGBet is brand-new and relatively unknown. I am generally cautious about new sites. It's name isn't BECH.games, it's BCH.games.
4699  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Transfer from BRD on: July 08, 2022, 09:41:04 AM
<Snip>
Open-source is better than closed-source, but only if the product is popular enough and sparks enough interest for independent code review. Trezor falls in that category. An open-source and brand-new piece of software that no one cares about is definitely not more secure due to the fact of being open-source. If you don't have people looking at the code and understanding what it does, it can still be malicious.

Think about it like this:

Open-source is a battle between good and bad.
Imagine a group of honest community members reviewing open-source code, but also imagine a group of hackers looking to steal crypto? Can they both review the code? Yes.
The honest group finds a vulnerability that can be exploited. They communicate their findings to to the owners, the devs update the code, and everyone is safer. Good job. The hackers find a vulnerability that can be exploited. They don't tell anyone, but instead take advantage of it. They end up stealing $5 million in crypto before the devs and the honest members of the community discover how they did it to patch their code.

Imagine the same scenario with a piece of closed-source software. Can hackers and honest code researchers inspect the code for vulnerabilities? No, they can't. The story ends there! The closed-source code can be excellent and unbreakable, and it can also be vulnerable to various types of manipulation. We just don't know. Only a small group of team members know what the code does, hackers and honest contributors can only discover vulnerabilities by chance since there is no code to read and inspect.

Izgleda da sam jedino ja operisan od tih Telegram i Discord kanala i ne volim ih. Ne vidim tu nikakvu kvalitetnu komunikaciju kad više ljudi priča svoju priču i gubi se osnovna ideja. Kvalitetnih postova sigurno ima ali se izgube u gomili. Ne mogu zamisliti pakao da recimo treba da nadjem neki link ili preciznu informaciju koju je neko podjelio prosli mjesec a u međuvremenu napisano 5.000 novih poruka... To je ovdje na forumu ipak lakše.
