So, for those of you who use Windows and some of the free / cheap backup software that is out there. Be aware that some products are backing up your C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming folder which has your wallet.dat file in there.

I have seen 2 people that had their wallet.dat files in the cloud.

In theory all these places claim that your data is secure and nobody but you can access it.
In reality who knows.

Be aware. Be careful.

If you are running the older version and need to download the newer version of Electrum make sure you ONLY go to https://electrum.org/
Don't google it. Don't Bing it. Don't Yahoo it. Just go to https://electrum.org

Don't trust any other thing or any other link, or if you are running an older version anything that pops up telling you to download a newer version from someplace else.

Or, do people actually fall for this stuff?
I give you sumcoin:

https://twitter.com/SumcoinIndex?lang=en

A coin that has no free wallet. You have to buy it on Google Play / iTunes
https://slicewallet.org/

You have to fill out a google form to apply to mine on their pool:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScjVseZCjgk21BguY50V3CT_64290C07rTQmi03ZtoZoP2pEQ/viewform

They actually threaten to sue people who mine it elsewhere or even discuss it:

How do people actually fall for this?

The BUTTON is refresh.

The way I showed the OP to get to it will remove all transactions and re-query the mycelium servers for ALL the transactions on your addresses.
Try it.
With the refresh any new transactions it sees will come in.
With the reload you can actually see all your transactions disappear and come back.
This way if something is compromised with the local database it will fix it.

Just followed your link.

A bunch don't even exist anymore too.

Needs major updating.

If it's free it's for me.

There is no way to reverse the transaction.
There are no funds to "recover" you have them.
You just have to get to the address that the change was sent to. The ledger has it.

After sleeping on it I wonder if having them labeled the way they are and how they are linked is part of the problem.
Should trust & feedback be 2 separate things?
If you look at a profile you see trust. If you click on the link in the profile it brings you to feedback that can about anything.

I can be utterly trustworthy but still an utterly abrasive asshole.

Should it be broken up into 2 separate things?

Trust = If he / she will do what they say they will do, ship what they say they will ship, pay what they say they will pay, etc.
Feedback = Do you really want do deal with this person?

I have had dealings with people with red trust for various reasons. But if they sent me 4 quarters for my dollar as agreed then that's good and worthy of positive trust.
If they at the same time are doxing people and being a jerk on the forum, then they should have some massive negative feedback. Still good trust.

So we could in theory have 3 things.

Merit = Are they good posters. Help out people. Useful to the board.
Trust = Can you trust them with money / items / etc.
Feedback = do you really want to deal with them. Because even if the 1st 2 are good you might still want to avoid.

Now I know most of what I have been saying would be related to sales and other things in terms of trust and feedback. Because I could have massive negatives in both Trust & Feedback but still be useful in the Mining Support board.

But it comes into play in other areas when just dealing with other people. We are all anonymous behind a keyboard the more separate data points about how we behave can only be a good thing in helping how others see with us and deal with us.

As for the people who sell collectibles when they sell hardware and the like, unless we really want to turn this into eBay / Amazon I think the comments you & Steamtyme made are correct. It is really DYOR.

Just bouncing things around my brain.

Enjoy the weekend everyone.

So after not spending any real time in meta I have been poking around here for the last couple of weeks (even made a few posts)
This is just my view on everything going around about trust & the default trust.
[Full disclosure I only have the default set]

Anyway.... I have to ask how much it matters by itself without doing your own research.

Case in point. I am going to pick a random victim sidehack [sorry dude just need a hardware person to make this point]
Looking at his feedback. It's 100% perfect. He has been selling his amazingly excellent hardware for years now. I have bought from him, I have sold to him. If he sent a post saying send me 1BTC and I'll send you a 200th miner that runs @ 1500 Watts I would not even blink, I would just send it. THAT IS HOW MUCH I TRUST HIM.
Now.. He sends me a PM saying "Yo Dave, I took in a beautiful mint 2011 Casascius  I know you like them, I took it in trade for 1BTC I'll sell it to you for the same" I would have to think long and hard about it. Not that I don't trust him, I do 100%. But what does he know about collectibles? Is it really mint? Is it authentic or one of the forgeries that have been seen? Is it vulnerable to the defcon hack from years ago? etc. So what is feedback worth at that point? You know that YES you are going to get what you bought from him. But you don't know if it is what he says it is, because he may not know.

It works the other way also I 1000% trust krogothmanhattan. Would ship him coins & collectibles w/o getting paid 1st, would send him BTC to buy collectibles w/o worrying about escrow. Would I buy a used antminer from him. Yet again, have to think. Can he tell if there are issues with it the way sidehack can? How well can he take it apart and put it back together to clean it....no idea.

This kind of comes from years of seeing this on eBay. A really good quality seller, with 1000s of positive feedbacks selling PC parts has a few "other" items to sell. And poof you just got a "mint condition" cylinder head for a 2007 Honda VFR800 at amazing price. Except for the fact that it's warped and for a 2002. He didn't know, it's how he got it from someone he trusted and is just moving it in good faith. [This may be a real life experience I admit nothing]

So yes, the trust system is important. But, in the state it's in now you really can't rely on it without doing your own research.

Do we need to make this more obvious for newer people?

And a bit of what I said on another post.

Dave's logic behind making this feedback information more public and with more information attached to it. --> Anything we can do to help remove scammers is good. Anything we can do to make scammers lives more difficult is good. If a new person does not know and does not look to find out that's on them.  If they don't know and we do but don't tell them or make it difficult to find out, that's on us.

Counter argument --> We are not your mom. It's not our job.  

So, with this long rambling post coming to an end. Is there a better way? If so what is it?

I have no idea, but I do think it needs to be discussed.
