Are you sure that's not the reason? The source explains that it's invalid because of an invalid witness version.

Here is the quote for the entire line where that address is shown:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0173.mediawiki#bech32

No, that won't happen. They have not mentioned anything about KYC in their announcement for the upcoming service, so someone might get the wrong impression that since they don't need to undergo KYC to use their hardware wallet or Ledger Live, the same will apply to the debit card. It won't.

We can see from the limited list of supported countries that they will try it out in well-organized western nations and the EU. If they wanted chaos, they could test it in the Balkans, Nigeria, or Venezuela. 

I didn't know about your thread. To be honest, I never thought to check in that particular board as I never go there. Since the information is relatively new, I thought no one else made a thread about it yet. I guess I was wrong. I opened it here because it is related to Ledger hardware wallets and the connection that will be made between those wallets > Ledger Live > the debit card. But you are probably right that it's a better fit in a different board. Since your thread is older, I will just lock this one since it makes no sense to have two similar ones, and mine doesn't offer any additional information compared to yours.

I am keeping the option of acquiring such a card sometime in the future open, but I agree with you that I don't want it to be connected to my hardware wallet.

Bitcoin won't be the only asset it supports. One option could be to convert some BTC to a stablecoin and spend that with the card, for example.

Locking the thread as promised...

I haven't seen an alternative to the forum that I really like, so I don't see a reason to leave. I am sure that I would be less active, but you would still see me around regularly. I don't like browsing crypto blogs and websites either so where do I go? There is only one German blog that I visit occasionally and that's it. I really don't like the Twitter/Discord/Telegram atmosphere with memes, lols, and whatnot. I feel like more effort is required to write decent to good posts here than what we have on social media.

Signatures won't be banned because theymos knows that's the start of the end.   

I think you have to pay those costs yourself initially. But if it's all covered by them, they should refund the user if you show them the proof of how much you paid.

The newest firmware upgrade isn't urgent. It doesn't fix a recently discovered vulnerability, so you don't have to worry about it for the time being. it's related to support for Taproot. If that is not something you need to use right now, just wait it out.

Jel imaju ova dva uređaja secure element i koji od njih je djelotvorniji za po koljenima? Iako izgledaju isto, nekako više povjerenje imam u ovaj lijevi.

I have also found it interesting that on the link that was shared above, a really short address like "bc1sw50qa3jx3s" is a valid Native Segwit address. I have never seen anything that short. I remember that I generated bech32 addresses that were visibly shorter by several characters in the past, but nothing like that one.  

Ledger has partnered with Baanx to introduce a crypto debit card called the Crypto Life Card.
Not much information is available at this stage. But, Ledger is planning to link it to Ledger Live and your hardware wallet and enable you to convert your coins into fiat and spend them.

It will also be possible to have a part of or your entire paycheck deposited on the card. It’s not yet available, but those interested can join the waitlist. By referring other users, one can get the card for free if the service is supported in your country. The card will first become available in the UK, France, and Germany sometime in early 2022. After that, it can be obtained in the USA.

PS: They could just use the leaked database dumps to send their customers the cards as a gift. No need to create a waiting list.

What do you mean that you are trying to retrieve them? Are you trying to send them from your address on your Nano S to somewhere else?
I managed to find this on Ledger's reddit page from last year > https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/it5f4r/bug_report_when_i_send_xrp_held_until_escalated/.
That user reported seeing the same error. However, his XRP was still sent. Can you check your address on a block explorer to see if the transaction was performed despite the error?

One more thing. Are you aware that XRP addresses have a minimum reserve requirement? This reserve was 25 XRP in the past. I think they lowered it to 10 XRP in the meantime. What that means is that those 10 XRP will always have to stay on your address and you can never spend them. They don't belong to you. Ripple says it's a measure against spam.

So if you have 20 XRP on an address, only 10 of those are yours to spend. If that address of yours holds only 10, you wont be able to spend those. It has got nothing to do with Ledger. It's the way the Ripple network was set up.   

I don't think you ever will. They are a type of invalid address format for native segwit addresses. You probably couldn't generate such an address by any reputable wallet software. 

I don't think it is.
 
I think his seed was already saved in a password manager before he started asking if that is ok to do. He was probably looking for confirmation from someone that it's a good way to protect the seed. But even after multiple people told him it isn't, he felt there was no reason to change anything.

If you give Jerry advice, he asks other people if the advice you gave is good. If he gets confirmation that it is, he will tell you that he has decided not to do it the way you told him to.

Yeah, he has a hardware wallet, but he doesn't always have access to it. Or more precisely to its seed. He has been asking questions about passphrases and how to set one up on Ledger for over 2 years. He never did of course. He can surely send his coins to his Nano S even if he uses a potentially vulnerable computer. But his paranoia levels are extremely high and I don't think he wants to connect it to that potentially infected PC.

@Jerry
What is the problem with the other computer you mentioned that you have? You said it doesn't have Windows. Ledger Live is available for Linux and MAC as well. I am not sure about the other software you are trying to save but you should check it out.

I promised that I would write an update when Ledger support responds to my question so here it is.

I sent them a message yesterday asking if they will refund tax and shipping costs to users who brick their devices following firmware upgrades. The automatic email that my message was delivered and a ticket was created was received at 9:50 CET. After that, it took them only two hours to reply back. I got an email from them at 11:51 CET.



But since they didn't answer all my questions, I sent a second email in the evening asking again about the charges.
I received a reply from the same customer service representative this morning. He told me that if the Nano breaks while it's still under warranty, they will exchange it for free. If the wallet breaks due to a software issue, it will always be exchanged for free. There is an unlimited warranty for software problems according to James. Since a malfunctioning device after a firmware upgrade is surely classified as a software problem, your hardware wallet will be replaced even if the original warranty expired.



To be fair, he again didn't directly answer my question regarding the tax and shipping charges. I can only assume that Ledger covers those as well, but I am missing the needed confirmation from James.

In this particular case, the response time was really good.
I think it's a positive thing that if you brick your HW due to a fault of their own, just contact the support and you will get a replacement for free.
This gave me an idea for another test I am planning to perform with their support staff, but more about that another time. 

Thanks for the source. If you scroll down towards the bottom, they list several Native Segwit address formats that are valid.

Besides addresses that begin with "bc1p" like LoyceV mentioned above, they can also start with a "bc1z".
One example of an address with an invalid checksum is one that begins with "BC13".

I never said that they have to prove anything to Messi. I just said that the motivation could be high to kick their asses despite already securing qualification to the knock-out stages. And they did even though Lewandowski didn't score.

Manchester United ran out in a completely changed lineup. I am glad I waited until I saw the team sheets. After looking at them, my bets went on Bayern and Benfica, and no money was wasted on Manchester United. I am sure they caused havoc for many gamblers last night.   

We often hear how Native Segwit addresses begin with "bc1", but the 4th character in a Bech32 is also interesting. It is always a "q". At least I though that it was always a "q". If you look up transactions in recent blocks, for example, you will notice that the "q" seems to always be the 4th character (unless it's a Taproot address).

I have three questions:

1. What is the significance of the "q", and why that character?
2. If the "q" is the standard or a must, how do you explain this Binance support article that talks about Segwit addresses? In the screenshot, you can see that the address on Binance begins with "bc16". The info in the article may not be completely correct, but the screenshot is surely not a mistake.
3. Are there Native Segwit addresses that don't begin with "bc1q" (like the one above), or is a mistake of some kind?


I tried scanning the above address with Electrum on my mobile and the app is importing an Ethereum address. It might be possible that they did that on purpose for whatever reason. Maybe to prevent people from sending coins to it and then blaming Binance for their mistakes. 

Forget about the password manager if you have that same seed on your computer. You have a Ledger Nano S. Why are your coins not on the Ledger?

You ask for advice. People give you advice. Then you ask if the given advice is good or if you should do it in a different way. Ultimately, you are probably not going to listen to what people tell you anyway. An anti-virus or anti-malware software is not some magical eraser that undoes your mistakes. It could find and neutralize a malware on your computer, but it is also possible that it doesn't detect it at all. In case of new malware, the software might not have the definitions to classify it as malicious. We don't know what you clicked on and if the site was configured to automatically download and execute some type of malware.

You have played with fire and now you got burned. You have been told multiple times not to store your seed digitally and you keep finding excuses why that's OK for you.

Your computer might be compromised. If you are lucky, it wasn't. Buying a new computer won't solve the problem that the files you have on your old one are potentially infected. If your coins are your priority, reformat your computer, and start from scratch.

If your coins are gone, they are gone. There is very little you can do about it. Buying a new computer just to restore your wallet will only tell you if they are there or not. What are you going to do with the old one and the data you keep on it?

Something is wrong with that link that you shared in OP. Clicking on it doesn't take me to the article and I have tried it with multiple browsers. Maybe because it's not "https://". Anyways, try to replace it with this one which works > https://blog.trezor.io/trezor-suite-and-firmware-updates-december-2021-d1e74c3ea283.

It's positive that Trezor has now joined those few brands that already support Taproot.
Just like with all other firmware upgrades for hardware wallets, maybe it's best to wait a few weeks before performing the update just in case something doesn't work like it should. 

I don't think so. I am not aware of any pen-shaped hardware wallets. Looks like a standard pen to me. I think he was trying to say that the best and safest way to store your recovery phrase is by using a pen and paper and not relying on other parties or gadgets, like in the case of hardware wallets.

I am not so sure about Atalanta. They have this tendency to mess up when you expect them to win and play well when they seem like the underdogs. The Champions League is different from the domestic Serie A and I give a slight edge to Spanish teams compared to those from Italy.

Bayern will play this match without several starters. They will be resting some of their players because they have already qualified and secured the first place. I still think that Lewandowski will be very motivated to show Messi's ex-team what he thinks of Messi's Ballon d'Or win. I also see this as a Bayern win, but I want to wait with my bet until I see the official lineups for the match.

I think that Manchester United is a good choice tonight.
Both Benfica and Dynamo have injury concerns.

Pa nisu svi isti. U onoj temi u engleskom dijelu neko je postavio jedan plave boje. Dosad nijedan nije bio kao ovaj tvoj uklještani .
Neki ljudi uništavaju električne uređaje čim ih uzmu u ruke. Drugi pak godinama koriste telefone, kompjutere ili hardverske novčanike i nema ni traga korištenja. Zanimljivo mi je vidjeti ko je kakav.

Sjećam se sad te tvoje priče. Čak sam bio i komentarisao kad si to podjelio na forumu. Ružno iskustvo jbg.
