5221  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: mtgox issuing free NFTs to users... on: March 30, 2022, 12:16:36 PM
It appears Mark Karpeles has decided to try and give some value back to those who were stolen from by mtgox in the form of issuing NFTs.  The NFTs contain information about your account such as: Bitcoin Balance MtGox, Fiat Balance MtGox, MtGox Trade Volume, MtGox UserID, & MtGox Registration (if you opt to have this information included).
OMG!
Can someone please tell mister Mark Karpeles that stupid NFT hype is now over, and that he can't make more profit from something like this anymore?
Whats next in the ''roadmap''? Maybe Roger Ver making some new testimonial video how he now trusts Mark and his new revolutionary NFT junk  Cheesy
If people are crazy enough to believe him and buy some of this NFT's then they deserve to lose all their money...

OP you should first fix that broken link in your post, but I have to say that article is written very bad and without any confirmation on sources used whatsoever.
It's some old speculation based on old news of russian central bank, and false statements like ''crypto market is down falling'' that makes no sense.
I don't know about any recent news for release of digital ruble, and I even heard that Russia will accept Bitcoin for trading with other countries.
This news is pure speculation and nothing more.

Today, I logged in to that account and I was surprised that I can still trade, even withdraw but the withdrawal limit is about 4000 dollars, I did not try any of the trading pairs because I have no balance and I did not deposit, but did I miss something? Can unverified members still trading and withdraw funds?  Huh Huh
Did you ever received multiple emails from them, reminding you to send documentations or you will not be able to trade or withdraw coins anymore?
Check out your notifications page and see if there are any restriction information, but I think that verified accounts now have 160K BUSD Daily withdrawal limit.
There is a small chance they left some accounts untouched by their new rules, but it's a big risk using it like this and they can at any time block your account and funds.

Hm... Da. Kad smo već kod transparentnosti... Zna li netko kakav crypto mixer, a da nije samo za Bitcoin? Provjerio sam Chipmixer i Jambler ali koliko sam uspio shvatiti, oni su samo za miksanje BTC-a. Kad bi postojali mikseri za ostale kriptovalute, onda i transparentnost ne bi bila tako velik problem.
Tornado.cash je mislim najbolji mixer za ethereum ali nisam siguran koliko se isplati koristiti ga kad su velike naknade za transakcije na eth mreži.
Sigurno ima još nekih mixera (možda onaj novi koji sad rekalmira Royse) ali su mnogi sumnjivi ili scam, a možeš koristiti i neki centralizirani exchange bez kyc verifikacije koji ima sličnu funkciju.

What is going on here? Has the Mercury Wallet team hired cheap shills to post their fake conversations here or do they have some other agenda? All those questions and answers are fake and the accounts might be controlled by the same person.
Looks like many of those accounts are connected and it's easy to see this in their post history showing them post in same topics asking stupid questions.
Mercury wallet have nothing to offer or sell so I am not sure why would they pay for something like this, unless they want to bump up this topic.
If this continues I will report all their post for spam and tag this accounts.

Block Explorer now available

https://explorer.mercurywallet.com/
Is there a way to see a rich list and who holds most coins?
I would suggest everyone to use vpn for searching anything on explorer, and read Privacy policy... they can keep IP addresses and personal information as long as they need to.

@nicosey
After we all saw what recently happened with Wasabi wallet and zkSNACKs, my question is can something similar happen with Mercury wallet in future?
5226  Other / Archival / Re: Announcing Wasabi Wallet 2.0 on: March 29, 2022, 05:03:16 PM
Wasabi developers released official explanation for latest zkSNACKs Blacklisting Update, and how that is going to affect future of Wasabi wallet.
They admit the mistake of using one default coordinator for their wallet and they are blacklisting it, instead of discontinuing zkSNACKs, claiming they are doing this for survival of privacy on Bitcoion...  Cheesy
Going anonymous is mission impossible according to them and they think it's a bad idea, but what is surprising to me is they are claiming that Wasabi coinjoins increased multiple times since their announcement (of death with a candle tweeter post).
They still didn't explain how exactly is zkSNACKs Ltd going to blacklist certain unspent transaction outputs if they are not monitoring and collecting user data  Roll Eyes

I think their new logo jinxed it.

Hey,
So I have my own node(Umbrel) and I am looking to setup a Lightning wallet that connects to that. I quite like Zeus for now, BW does not seem to be able to connect, does anyone have any other recommendations?
I am not using iPhone so I can't tell you more about best wallets, but you can check out this list of most Lightning mobile wallets below.
Go first for open source and non-custodial options, and do your own research about them:

5228  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Live Liars Data Collection on: March 29, 2022, 03:16:18 PM
You have absolutely no way of knowing what the owners of the random Electrum servers you connect to are doing with the data they gather from you. Some servers are being run directly by blockchain analysis companies.
I just gave un example and we are not talking about some random people who run servers, we are talking about official wallet developers who openly say what they are doing.
It's well known fact that blockchain analysis companies and government agencies run their servers for tracking, but that is totally different story.
Let's not mix wallet manufacturers with third parties.

Even although Trezor say they don't collect these things, you are still using their servers to update your addresses and transactions and so they could keep logs if they wanted. Just like a VPN, you cannot verify what they say. And you can connect any wallet over Tor if you want.
I guess you can sort off verify it if you know what you are doing, because Trezor and their Trezor Suite application are all open source.
And yes I know running your own bitcoin node is bets option for privacy, it's not even that hard for average Joe to do it.

If you wish to review our service, please do so by all means.
We will respond to all of your comments and categorize the given feedback if we can confirm the issue, and keep you updated as to whether or not it is fixed.
I can do some testing for your service when I find some free time, but for now I can do it only for testnet version if that is still available.
Is there any instructions I can read before I use it, and what should be written instead of mainnet custodian url address?
Taproot is already supported on your wallet if I understand correctly or not?
5230  Economy / Goods / Re: Stainless steel Bitcoin Recovery Seed Plate on: March 29, 2022, 02:40:28 PM
Hasn't been tested there yet, but it's a good idea and can be done.
In my opinion, however, the Seed Plate should do very well here, because stainless steel in the thickness should be very resistant.
If nothing else, sending it to Lopp for testing would certainly bring more attention to your stainless steel plate, and who knows maybe it gets rated high on the table.
He was testing all of them for corrosion, crush test, heat, price and gives them overall rating.
Not all stainless steel are equal, and more thickness is better for sure Wink

PS
Let us know if you decide to send him plate for testing, I would love to read review.
5231  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bad way of storing keys?/ on: March 29, 2022, 12:42:19 PM
I've sheltered my private key and recovery seed in a m.2 memory on my PC and I take it offline (remove from PC) but someone said its a bad idea, this person said that people have forfeited private keys to HDD before and they never recover their BTC, is this true?
Storing and moving recovery seed and private keys on m.2 and other flash memories is a bad idea, because you can't really delete content of your drive even if you click delete and format.
That is why SSD drives have the option of secure deletion with algorithm adding random values over, or some drives can have encryption option for improved security.
I would generally prefer using some offline old fashion way for saving your seed phrase, like regular pen and paper or more durable stainless steel metal.

...
All this stats for hard drives depends mostly on usage for ssd, and storing conditions for hdd, but in reality I know drives are surviving much more than those stats are showing.
I would still not use any of them for reasons I mentioned previously.
5232  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Live Liars Data Collection on: March 29, 2022, 12:15:25 PM
I'm no fan of Ledger's stance on user data and privacy, but this is not unique to them or even unique to hardware wallets. If you use any wallet which goes through any server which is not your own server pointed at your own node, then whoever runs that server will absolutely be able to see your IP address and details of every address you query and every transaction you make, as well as any other unique identifiers the wallet software communicates to them, and can keep that data for as long as they want and share it with anyone that they want.
This is only partially true, because I can use Electrum or some other wallet that maybe have records of my IP addresses and transactions, but they are not sharing that info with any partners of parties that pay more, and they don't keep this data for five years.
In Trezor hardware wallet used with Trezor Suite app I can disable sending of all information (in settings) and I can enable Tor to hide my IP address.
This is what Trezor can collect if you enable anonymous data collection:
https://docs.trezor.io/trezor-suite/misc/analytics.html

is there no way to do this offline?
There is no way you can update ledger offline and you must use normal computer, not a mobile device for this process.
5233  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Ledger Live Liars Data Collection on: March 29, 2022, 10:41:59 AM
If you are still using ledger live application with your ledger hardware wallet, than I you should really think again about it.
In reality it's impossible to update your device without ledger live application that can be only used on computer, so you are stuck with it at least partially.

You should know what data ledger live collects from users and for how long, because they are not even hiding it, as you can see in their privacy policy page below.
Device session identifier, IP address, clicks, actions, language and region for your operating system, transactions, etc.
They are keeping all this data for ''legal'' reasons and retention period is five years, and they share customer data with their partners.
Knowing that ledger and their partners were hacked and data leaked multiple times, I think it's crazy for anyone to trust ledger with your data for years.

What's even worse is that Ledger chairman and co-founder murzika publicly lies how they don't collect IP addresses.
So now we have proof and confirmation that people who own and work in ledger are liars:


source: https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/8xdgfi/warning_ledger_live_collects_information_without/e22jqdi/


source: https://www.ledger.com/privacy-policy
archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20220329104422/https://www.ledger.com/privacy-policy

Best solution for this is to stop using ledger wallet, but temporary fix would be mandatory use of Tor or some good open source vpn like Mullvad.
Don't trust my words, and do your own research about this.

You accused us and lied, i'm just showing the proof. But please open another topic, don't spam here.
Listen you freak, you seem to have a lot of time writing on forums...  I was the first who said that I send you a message about that and anyone can see what I asked, so you don't have to add your stupid interpretation.
I can write wherever I want and if you don't like it, create your own little forum so you can control whatever you want.
I didn't lied about anything, all I did is posted my suggestion and suspicions, especially after I heard you have given six figures deposit to the bank Cheesy
I will post more details about this deal as soon as Mastercard send reply to my questions.

Seeing you Trust score, I already regret that I give you my precious time.
Btw, you didn't ask about the free cards:

Let me quote that for you so everyone can see better what exactly I asked, and people can also see how you will take special care their private information on your website.
Have a nice day, and please don't spend to much money on fake reviews.

And let's be clear, you message us on both Telegram and Online chat with the same questions. We answered them all, so I don't know what you want, but you are basically stalking us at this point.
Total bullshit!
I never messaged you on Telegram, and if you can read, you can see on my profile that I don't use Telegram.
I can translate you this in russian if you want.

I think you are mad that you didn't get a response on the free card, you should have mailed.
Yes sir, I was crying all night because I didn't receive free card that I never asked to receive  Cheesy
I believe that virtual card is $64.99 and I could live like a king until the end of my life with that money, so I was very mad...

Oh I just can't wait to receive official answer from Mastercard, so time is ticking away and you still have time to perform your circus tricks

Hi, the only message you send was the following...
Very childish to post something like this
Let me spell that in plain English and you can use translator if you don't understand it - YOU ARE IGNORING TO ANSWER PUBLIC QUESTIONS so how the heck than do you expect me to ask the question in forum?!
Very immature and scummy behavior from you to ignore my simple question to explain how that works, and it's even worse to say it's childish from me to warn other people.
But hey, if you want to ply this game I am ready to continue talking more about red flags, since you didn't answer a single concern people sked in public.

First, you are saying that you are based in Europe, but you can't disclose what country exactly (OPSEC excuse) and you are working with PerfectMoney that makes me think you are probably based in Russian Federation.
It's impossible to operate something like this with virtual cards without kyc legally from Europe, so it's my right to suspect this could be a money grab and short lived scam.
There is not a single word about CryptoDebit anywhere on internet, no social media associated with this service, and only way for getting support is by email or telegram?!

To make things even more interesting, I will contact Mastercard directly and ask them to confirm if they are working with CryptoDebit, and if they are offering this kind of service, maybe I am wrong, so let's see what they have to say.
I am archiving their webpage in case they delete it or change it in future:

I agree, living on bitcoin is hard. Even harder, where strike is not an option, and probably won't be anytime soon. I also ask a lot of businesses if I can pay in bitcoin, but right now, it's far and few in between, if any. I helped two local businesses in accepting bitcoin in their shops, though, we're getting there.
It is hard to use only bitcoin, unless you are living in a war zone, banks are closed and your fiat ATM machines are not working or they are out of cash.
We have examples of people being able to survive or buy a car they needed only using bitcoin.

Edit: In the meantime, use these links to the OpenPill and OrangePill downloads on the official SeedSigner GitHub
Thanks, and I hope you have enough Raspberry Pi zeros in stock, because prices are going up quickly, that is if you can find them anywhere.
It's not looking like chain supply crisis for microchips will be resolved any time soon, and now I can't even find Rpi v2 with wireless to buy.

I do ask if I can pay with it everywhere as well - some surprisingly say sure and whip out their phones.
I ask that all the time, but many people still think it's a scam  Roll Eyes maybe because we saw many fake accounts created of public figures asking for Bitcoin payments, and regular people than associate bitcoin with scam...
Scammers even hijack their social media profiles and then ask for bitcoin ransom to return their accounts.

For me it's showing that last update on your website was on  11 March 2022...
One suggestion, maybe you can add information for bitcoin vpn providers that are open source.
This can be good advantage over other closed source alternatives, if the code can be verified and reproduced.

Nord have just bought over SufShark, so they are now owned by the same company. The same company that got hacked, tried to cover it up, and then only admitted it to their users months later when they were exposed.
Hmmm thanks for this info.
I didn't know that connection between Nord and SurfShark, and I just wanted to test and see how SurfShark is working :/

Windscribe are still largely closed source.
I think that windscribe desktop application v2 and browser extension are open source, and you can use login credentials with open vpn.
Do you by any chance have any list of open source vpn providers, I would love to check it out?
Last time I checked I think Mullvad and ProtonVPN claimed they are open source.
