In general, you won't use button that much, it's only needed to verify your actions. You actually need the buttons quite often. You need them to setup and verify your PIN and seed words. Every time you want to unlock the wallet, you use the buttons to find the correct PIN numbers. To interact with a particular cryptocurrency, you have to open the associated app on your hardware wallet. As you mentioned, the buttons are used to verify addresses, amounts, fees, etc. You also need them for settings changes, display configuration, creating a passphrases... About screen size is optimal I think, it's not touch screen. I don't mind the screen size either. A lot of people seem to be displeased with it. But if you think about it, it's much easier having your address divided in 3 parts when you verify it. The address is a string of random letters and numbers. It's not a logical sequence of characters you can remember whether or not you see the whole thing or a 3rd of it. I find it easier to see one string and verify it's identical to what is shown on Ledger Live, and then move on to the 2nd and 3rd one. |

I have started checking and updating the new withdrawal fees and amounts because of the latest price crash. I came to Flush and remembered that we came to the conclusion that the minimum withdrawable sum was the equivalent of $20 in Bitcoin + an additional 0.00008 BTC, which is the fee. But that might have changed because they currently allow players to withdraw a minimum of 0.00082004 BTC. That's around $16-17 with the current BTC value. Maybe the withdrawal amounts don't update that regularly and it will take a few days until the next one hence the current difference.

Did they pay at all? I have no idea. A few hours after I made that post, Royce announced that the casino has decided to stop promoting its site through Bitcointalk because of its unfriendly environment. Later that day, the casino went offline and the ANN thread got locked. I can see that Bitlucy is back online now. |

Što se walleta tiče, ima ih hrpa, MEW (MyEtherWallet, idealno s Trezorom ili Ledgerom u pozadini) i blockchain.info ako ti trebaju samo glavni coini. Za mobilne, čuo sam dobre stvari o Jaxu, ali ga osobno ne koristim. Iskreno, ne bi nikome preporučio niti jedan od ovih walleta koje si naveo. MyEtherWallet je OK za Ethereum i tokene sa Ethereum mreže, ali s obzirom da Jstallone želi da uloži samo u Bitcoin ne treba mu MEW. Jaxx i Blockchain.info/com imaju mnoštvo problema i ima gomila diskusija na forumu o lošim iskustvima koje su korisnici imali.
Trofo je dobro spomenuo poznatu frazu " Not your keys not your coins." Ako ne posjeduješ svoje ključeve već koristiš mjenačnice i custodial servise kao Wirex, Bitfinex, Poloniex, itd zavisiš i od milosti i nemilosti tih stranica. Mogu da od tebe zahtjevaju da dokažeš porijeklo novca i uradiš KYC koji može da potraje. Mogu da ti kažu da su njihovi algoritmi ustanovili da novac potiče iz sumnjivih izvora (kladionice, mixeri), mogu zakonske regulative da se promjene za bilo koju države pa da imaš problema sa pristupom svom novcu, itd. S druge strane, kad samo ti imaš pristup privatnim ključevima, niko ništa ne može da te pita. Najčešće se preporučuje Electrum wallet na ovom forumu. On spada u ovu kategoriju non-custodial novčanika gdje te niko ništa ne pita. Za osobnu sigurnost preporučuje se i provjeriti autentičnost Electrum walleta. Ako se odlučiš za to, bit će uvijek neko da ti pomogne s tim. |

Makni se s toga i samo pređi na Futures, puno bolje iskustvo. Jel ima KuCoin i Options trading ili samo Futures-e? Osim ako ne ubrajaš i Options trading pod pojmom Futures. Nisam nikad razmišljao ni o jednoj niti drugoj varijanti ali mi na prvi pogled Options djeluje malo sigurnije jer zadržavaš mogućnost da ne ispuniš uslove ugovora ako ti se cijena ne sviđa. Naravno, plaćaš premiju jer ništa nije bez rizika. |

I invest little to no money into Bitcoin. I work for it occasionally and provide services in exchange for Bitcoin quite regularly. So my income from fiat remains a stash of its own and my Bitcoin is a different pool.
It's hard to manage fiat in the way that you can comfortably say I only need these $100, while the rest will be invested into Bitcoin. I am using those numbers because that's what was mentioned in OP. Things happen short-term where you need more money than you originally thought. Financial needs for you and your family change. You need to fix your house, you need to repair your car, buy a new TV because your kid broke the old one, get your daughter some bracelets, buy a new suit for work because there is a tear in the old one, etc., etc. How are you going to do that if there is no money in your bank?
Imagine you just started out investing when Bitcoin was $50-60k and because you didn't plan for future needs, you now need to liquidate a chunk from your portfolio to pay for something that has to be paid short-term. You would be making a huge loss selling your coins at $20k when you bought them at $50k.

But, again, for as long as you're capable of paying it. No one knows what the future holds. That's why it isn't recommended to do things like that. Sure it looks great now, great job, great wife, beautiful kids, new house. But in the future that all could turn into being laid off, divorce and paying alimony, and no house due to a fire, earthquake, or other disasters. If that wasn't bad enough, the bank is on your ass because your borrowed money to buy Bitcoin. That didn't work out, and you are having problems paying them back. |

The hard way, I also learned my lesson, that the seed phase should be kept in different places, not just on the computer. I hope you don't keep the seed phrases to your crypto stash digitally on your computer or anywhere online at all anymore. Only offline backups on paper or metal should be used for optimum security. Storing these backups in different locations is of course always the way to go. There are people that have been searching wallets through google(search engine) and they've ended up with a copy cat app of the specific wallet that they search.
It's full of sponsored ads that appears at the top of the results so be mindful of that when using search engines for wallets that you'll use. Everyone should use uBlock Origin nowadays, especially if they rely on Google's Chrome as their go-to browser. AdGuard AdBlocker is also good. It gets rid of the sponsored ads you see when you search for something on Google among many other benefits it offers. If using dice, how about just using a seed phrase generated on a reputed wallet, then used as passphrase which is also secure just as seed phrase with 128 bits of security and remain almost impossible to bruth force. Take a dictionary or a big book and stick your fingers in 8 different random locations. Pick 1 random word per page without looking. That's a total of 8 words. That should be enough for a secure passphrase. You can even spell them backwards or include a number and/or special character in each word for more security. |

The answer to the question if you should take a loan to buy cryptocurrencies is a very simple one. NO, never!
The money is not yours, and you would be taking too much of a risk putting it into something as volatile as Bitcoin. If you have some savings or you would like to invest a part from your salary, that's OK. Would you take out a loan to play Blackjack? Would you do it to place a bet on a football match? I hope the answer to these questions is NO.
If you can't pay back on time, the bank will charge you more. Depending on how much you borrowed, they could seize your assets and possessions. Not paying back on time will destroy your credit rating, and if in the future you need a loan for a much more valid reason like the health of you and your family members, it will be harder for you to get one.

...I'd recommend you to check if Ledger devices are more attractive for your situation, just keep in mind they have had some problem with leaks some months ago. Both manufacturers have had issues with personal data leaks, but the one that Ledger caused is a much more serious one and involved more user data. As a rule of thumb, you should avoid to provide personal information when ordering a HW as much as possible. Easier said than done. If the manufacturer doesn't ship to PO boxes or the courier in your country doesn't deliver to PO boxes, you have to ship the package to a real address. One way around it is to have it delivered to your place of work. But whoever sees the package and accepts it will obviously know about your crypto interest. Some other things you can do is pay with Bitcoin instead of PayPal or Credit cards. You can create a brand-new or temporary email address just for the hardware wallet purchase. If you live in a country where you can purchase an anonymous SIM card without connecting it to your real identity, that's not a bad idea either. edit: I checked Trezor's website, and unlike what the person above says I see MATIC and SOL MATIC is supported by both Trezor devices. SOL (Solana) is not supported at all. Don't mistake Solana for the Sola Token that can be stored on a Trezor. No idea what that is. Isn't ledger will still need user's information even using amazon for shipping? Although ledger might not be going to include your whole personal info e.g. name, contacts and address to their database but they will still include you to their mailing list (names and emails) for marketing purposes. If you buy the HW from Amazon, it's Amazon who sees your personal and shipping information, not the HW manufacturer. The Amazon reseller has the devices in their possession, so no interaction is required with Ledger. You have to sign up or opt in for the mailing list to be included in it.
@Titanium99 If you live in the USA, you might want to check out the Foundation Passport Batch 2. n0nce wrote a great review of the first edition of this HW > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5382675.0. The second one is better and solves several issues seen in Batch 1. |

The banner at the top of the page said "update to Ledger Live 2.43.1", but when I actually went through with the update, it said that I updated to version 2.43.0. I haven't updated to the latest version either. I am also still on v2.42.0. It seems that they migrated to a new repository, that's why there is no information about the changes made in the newest versions in the old GitHub repository. The new one is here, but I can't find any release info. According to the Ledger Live downloads page, the newest version is indeed 2.43.1. Not sure why you couldn't immediately jump to the latest one and the software upgraded to 2.43.0 first. I will take a look at it to see if the same thing happens to me when I decide to make the update. |

Hi everyone! A copper member DireWoIfM14 demanded me to return a non-existent loan amount of $1,999.91, but he sent the loan to a different address. Say it's legal? Is this a scam? What should I do? Should I look for a good lawyer? Help me URGENTLY, I'm in shock We have had similar false accusations against DireWolfM14 just recently. You might want to check the Scam Accusations board for more info. Let me guess, someone contacted you over Telegram asking you for the money, am I right? Pay attention to the username you posted and the username of the person on Bitcointalk. The real copper and legendary member of Bitcointalk is DireWo lfM14. The person who contacted you and whose username you posted is DireWo IfM14. Do you see the difference?
Nice trolling there DireWolfM14 with that transaction ID.  |

Is the site still working or is it no longer active? Trying to access https://bitdouble.io/ seems to redirect to a non-existing site like ww1.bitdouble.io or https://ww3.bitdouble.io/ every time I try to open it. When was the last time someone accessed it and played their game successfully? |

Regarding the hotel prices @Pmalek I doubt that for $5 is actually a feasible option (would you mind sharing the video? Sorry, there is no way I could find that now. I don't even know where I would start looking. I saw it months ago. The video never showed the rooms. Everything is up in the mountains, so it's far from luxury of course. It looked like a temple that was repurposed to be a hotel or perhaps a hostel with multiple people inside the rooms. But since The Pharmacist was talking about multiple people working on bounties/signature campaigns, even that is acceptable for a group of friends. I remember thinking the same as you. How is it possible that it's that cheap?! |

I don't know how true this is so don't hate me if I am wrong. I watched a video of a guy who wanted to escape the everyday stress of modern societies, so he packed his bags and went to Nepal. The guy claimed to have stayed in a hotel-like accommodation with good and healthy food and all that cost him $5 a day. That leaves plenty of money for good wine, Cuban cigars, and other types of pleasures.
If it's that cheap, one might even consider spending a few months on holiday in Nepal to save some money you would otherwise spend in large metropolitan areas.

Lol, you can't even read to whom that thread was directed, so stupid. I am not the one who created a scam accusation thread accusing a bookie of scamming him despite the community telling you that their terms and conditions show that the maximum payout is €100.000 and that you are wrong. Seeing that your cries over not having received a payout of €200.000 didn't work in the scam accusation board, you decided to create a self-moderated thread in Gambling and delete comments that you don't agree with and which proves you wrong. Like the fact that the screenshot you posted shows the paragraph in which they explain the maximum payouts per bet. No one agreed with your thread in Scam Accusations and no one agrees with the one in Gambling. Stupid! |
