But there isn't one in LoyceV's example. One quote tag is closed, he opens a new one, but where is the closing one? Besides, multiple quotes require multiple closing quote tags. What am I missing here?

Have you ever considered the following: All these altcoins and shitcoins that are created are all being advertised as the best thing you will ever come across in your life. But then you have bounty campaigns and signature campaigns where they are giving away tons of it. If it was that good, and those tokens were so much better than crappy old Bitcoin, wouldn't you want to keep most of them for yourself and "trick" the gullible investors and campaign participants into accepting Bitcoin? Paying them in worthless coins, and gladly taking their Bitcoin shows the real intentions.   

What is the ultimate goal? Do you want a button that puts one paragraph in quotes, and then creates new quote tags where you can enter a different text? I might have been dropped on my head as a baby, so I am not sure I understand the request properly, bear with me.

But shouldn't it be

instead of
?

Whenever I needed to verify Electrum, I used this guide > https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/.
The process is slightly different now because the signature files contain 3 signature of 3 different developers. In the past, they only contained the one from ThomasV.

I couldn't find the key via the fingerprint as explained in the article, but you can download and import the individual keys from the links on Electrum's download page. The final results look a bit different than what they did in the past but the software will tell you if the verification was successful or not. 

How does a non-technical person verify that it's a genuine Foundation Passport hardware wallet with a genuine firmware? You mentioned supply chain attacks, and since I only have experience with Ledger, I know that a fake Ledger device can't connect to official Ledger servers. So if someone in the supply chain replaced the HW with a fake one or made modifications to it, I wouldn't be able to use it with the official software. How does it work with Foundation's HW? 

That's not how it works. If you generate a new receiving address in Ledger Live and fund it with Bitcoin, the next time you try generating one in the same Bitcoin account, the software will display a new one. But for that to happen, the previous one needs to have received coins. If you just generate an address and never send Bitcoin to it, the next time you click on the button to get a new receiving address, Ledger Live will display the same one. 

If you want to check if that particular address has ever received any coins, just enter it into a blockchain explorer.
If you want to use different receiving addresses, or more than one because LL can only generate one at a time per Bitcoin account, just connect your Nano with Electrum, go to the addresses tab, and pick from one of the 20 unused receiving addresses displayed at the top. 

I agree with you, but does it solve the underlying problem?

Let us assume that China is manufacturing backdoored components that are part of hardware wallets, and 99% of all hardware parts are delivered from China. You now have hardware wallet vendors who claim two different things. One group says made in <insert country> and the other says assembled in <insert country>. The way they explain the manufacturing process doesn't change the fact they are using backdoored Chinese hardware (let's still assume they are backdoored). If the end-users loss their money to a backdoor, it makes no difference what the website and the wallets' official documentation claimed.

I don't see why not. I doubt the Seedkeeper checks the validity of the seeds, and it really shouldn't. Especially those you import yourself. Look at it as a paper wallet where you can write down anything you want. If you write the words down correctly, you are good. If not, you might lose your coins if you didn't make a simple mistake that can be solved by bruteforcing. 

What if they are not your coins anymore? You withdraw your coins from a casino to your private wallet. That's step #1. In step #2, you exchange those coins (or one part of the withdrawn coins) for some other asset and send it to a wallet address provided by the buyer. The exchange wouldn't know that the coins have changed hands here. I assume blockchain analysis companies wouldn't either. Even better if there was a step #3 where the coins move from private wallet to private wallet of the other user before being deposited into an exchange.   

It's funny how you explain that the reputation of the platform is important in determining its overall ranking among other things. Another factor you consider is the number of unresolved scam accusations and complaints of players against that particular brand. But then you put 1xBit on the list of 20 of the best crypto bookies around. Maybe if they reach 1 million complaints and scam accusations you will consider not advertising them on your website. But we are not quite there yet.

I think that it has already been fixed by Coingecko. They released a statement on Twitter advising users to still be careful but also stating that the ad script has been disabled (https://twitter.com/coingecko/status/1525238360847134720).

There is absolutely no reason for a site like CoinGecko to request that you log in or connect to any wallet to browse the site. Anyone who thinks clearly should know that. It would be like Bitcointalk asking for your seed while logging in to your forum account.

There are several reasons for that: wrong investment strategies, no risk assessment, investing too much or all your capital, investing in dubious altcoins you know very little about but someone said they will become the next Bitcoin, etc. There is no such thing as a safe bet and there are no sure things in investments and speculative asset classes. Understand the risks and the possibilities that you can lose all of it.

People never learn and when they are in over their head, unfortunately they take the suicide route. But that's just the beginning of new problems and pain for their families.   

I wouldn't say that the signature campaign was a distraction that prevented you from learning. How much did you post weekly before you joined a signature campaign? If we are talking about 5-6 posts, it's your frequency of posting that's a problem for most campaigns, not the fact that you are wearing a paid signature. If your average before joining the campaign was 30-35, but it dropped to 10 when you started wearing your signature, it's obvious you started doing something wrong.

Whatever your style of posting was that led you to be accepted in a campaign, it was good enough. If it wasn't, the campaign manager would have selected someone else. All you had to do was maintain that quality and frequency of posting, and even better, improve it. Maybe campaigns with fixed weekly quotas aren't your thing. Perhaps you would have done better if you were paid per post with no weekly minimums. But there aren't that many of those around.     

Posting this here although it's not related to Ledger but to Coldcard. It can still serve the purpose of proving how companies claim one thing, lie, and/or deliberately don't show the whole picture.

So, the new Coldcard Mk4 is out and this is what the manufacturer says about it. "Made in Canada". I actually don't know if it is or isn't, but I doubt the hardware components are made in Canada. We already had that discussion when Ledger claimed something similarly. Just below that, there is a sentence that says, "Lovingly soldered in Toronto, Canada". Soldered and made in are two different concepts. The question is, where do they get their hardware components from that are then soldered onto the board in Toronto? Also from Canada or maybe China or some other country?

Jesi li provjeravao odakle dolaze hardverske komponente za novi Coldcard? Ako si obratio pažnju na stranicu gdje predstavljaju novi uređaj, piše "Made in Canada" a ispod toga "soldered in Toronto." Dakle lemljenje i postavljanje komponenti na mainboard se radi u Kanadi. Uređaj se ne proizvodi u Kanadi jer komponente vjerovatno dolaze s druge lokacije. Možda iz tebi drage Kine.

Call it whatever you want as long as you know what you will be using it for. 

Yes. 

Yes, that's how I explained it in the previous post.

Yes, you generate an address in the new account that will be used for your long-term storage.

Yes, you can just generate a new receiving address in your "long-term storage" account or even create a 3rd account that will be your "second long-term storage LTC account" if you want to be absolutely certain that you won't connect addresses A and B in the "first long-term storage" account. If you bought 5000 LTC one time and 5000 LTC a second time, those two parties don't have to know that you own both inputs.

Yes, just generate a new receiving address in the account you created for those small LTC deposits.

If you have only funded that account with one $50 LTC deposit, it's obvious that's all you have. You can't select a second input if it's not there. If you want to send something, the funds for the new transaction have to come from that previous $50 deposit. Coin control helps you when you have multiple inputs of $5, $10, $15, $25, $50 worth of LTC, for example. With coin control, you decide which of those inputs you want to spend.

The thing is, it's dangerous to give automated "helpers" like bots and APIs the permissions to access and work with your money. Can you trust it to not have any bugs or intentional vulnerabilities that would allow its creators to edit the receiving addresses and amounts being bought/sent? Probably not.

I have never used the app, so I don't know. My assumption is that the coins will be deposited in an address that's part of your app. But maybe you can enter a custom address, which in your case would be one that's part of your Ledger. Someone who knows more about Cash.app could give you a better answer.

Don't forget the often-occurring wallet maintenance issues. You mentioned a good example with Dogecoin. Wallets can be in "maintenance mode" for weeks and months before you can access your coins again. Interestingly, it occurs when there are huge pumps or significant drops in value. Once the issue is fixed, it's too late to take advantage of the situation in case you wanted to buy something cheaper or sell it at a high.

Not necessarily the experienced ones, but certainly those concerned about their privacy. Often, it goes hand in hand, and those who have been around for a while are also concerned about remaining anonymous. That's something you can't do on CEXs where you are often asked to verify your identity and answer questions about your business activities or origins of your money. Saying, that's none of your business doesn't work. Hence, we have completely decentralized P2P exchanges where no questions are asked.   

Maybe. But don't forget that signature space is limited. Chances are that most of that character space is already lost because of the sig you are wearing, so you won't be able to do much with what remains. One way around it is if a Hero/Legendary would wear a sig for a Member/Full Member, which leaves him with enough room to include other things in his signature space.

Good campaign managers surely check if there are additional lines and entries in the signature that shouldn't be there. It's against the rules to have that.
Here is just one example:

 

I informed you about the existence of this scam accusation against your casino on 7 February. You were on the forum that day because I saw you online.


A week later, I posted in your ANN thread again mentioning the scam accusation and asking if you can share your side of the story:

He doesn't have to. He most probably just registered to inform the community and make the scam accusation thread. He isn't the first one to do something like that and he won't be the last one.

If that's true, you have to prove it. Just saying it doesn't make it true. Post some proof to convince the community he is a faucet abuser. I think that's the only way to remove your negative trust rating.

A support staff banning your from the casino's chat is not a scam. Your feelings and opinions that Max might be an Indian who is a scammer waiting for you to deposit money so he can confiscate them is also not a scam. The only thing that happened here is that you got banned from accessing the chat by someone who has the power to do so. Maybe he didn't have to do it, but you also didn't have to go off-topic and talk about Luna or Terra.

5Dimes did not scam you, case closed.
