When you are sending Bitcoin to someone, several things can go wrong. One of the most common mistakes is sending to a wrong address. That can happen either due to a mistake by the sender or the receiver of the coins. There are things called clipboard malware that change a copied BTC address to that of the hacker's. Even though someone copies the correct address, that malware can replace it with a different one. If that happens, the sender can end up sending the coins to the wrong destination address or the receiver provides the sender with a wrong address. Either way, a confirmed transaction results in the loss of funds.

Always check the status of your transaction on a block explorer and if it shows a different result from what you see in your client, you could have an easier time to figure out what went wrong. In this particular case, the transaction got confirmed, the receiving address was correct, but the wallet (which has a long history of various bugs) didn't credit the new balance. The simple solution is to switch to a more reliable app that doesn't have those problems.       

Still no correct answers for the two missing terms. I have unscrambled an additional character for each of the two words. Take a look at it now and see if it's a bit clearer. What everyone expected would take only 30 minutes could now take 3+ days to complete. Let's finish this in style.

Još koji dan i mogao si uvezati dva mjeseca u jednu analizu. Pošto si ovu sastavio, već dolazi vrijeme za narednu.

Kod njemaca je izgleda došto do velikih promjena kad su u pitanju merit sourceri. Osim tog podatka da su zauzeli drugo mjestu po broja ukupno podjeljenih merita, imaju i odličan merit/post omjer od 0.73. Pakistanci su mi u toj kategoriji zanimljivi (neću da kažem sumnjivi) sa omjerom od skoro jednim meritom po postu. Ovako napamet ne znam nijednog člana Pakistanca što naravno ne znači ništa.   

These two terms are correct:

But this one isn't:

Unfortunately, both guesses are wrong.

Only two words remain scrambled after Cornia's successful attempts. Words #1 and #2. Who can decode the two missing terms? 

Ask yourself, expensive compared to what? Compared to a web wallet or exchange? Yes, it is. Compared to the possibility of losing all your crypto because you got infected with malware and someone hacked your account to empty all your coins from it? The exchange could get hacked like we have seen with Mt Gox or Cryptopia and many others. In that case, the device is not expensive at all.

Most of us carry smartphones that cost around a grand or more. Those are expensive gadgets we could save money on.

That's a very bad strategy you are suggesting there Alen. Someone once said that exchanges can be divided in two groups: Those that got hacked and those that will get hacked. No idea who said it though. The question is, which of those two will be holding your coins when it happens?

There is absolutely no reason why you should use an exchange as a wallet for storing your crypto unless you are looking for trouble. If you think exchanges don't get hacked or are involved in various types of exit scams, make some research on the subject and see what you can find.

Most people will tell you that it's a bad idea and I would agree. Staking and earning interest on coins requires that you give up custody of those assets and put them in the hands of someone else.

Ultimately, the choice is yours. Do you think the interest rates are worth giving someone control over your bitcoin? History has shown us that many platforms have been hacked, or the owners have performed exit scams and rug pulls. There is no protection against that and it can happen at anytime if you are dealing with untrustworthy individuals.

Personally, If I had some altcoins that I would be willing to "gamble" with, I would stake them somewhere in return for a decent percentage. But I wouldn't do the same with my bitcoin.

I didn't know there was an option to turn on automatic updates for Ledger Live. Is it turned off by default? I can't remember turning it off when I initially set up my Ledger wallet and went through the settings menu to see what is on offer. Regardless, OP was experiencing issues with the firmware update, not the Ledger Live update process.

You are free to bump an old thread if the information you share there is valuable enough to do that.
The information in OP could be outdated, a link might not be working, the software suggested in it might have been abandoned, the topic might be pointing to services, sites, or members that have in the meantime scammed others, sadly passed away, or are nowhere to be found. In cases like that, it's perfectly fine to make a new post in that thread and update it with brand-new information or recommendations.

What is frowned upon is writing low-effort posts in such threads, like thanking the user and telling them how useful the thread is. Such posts don't improve the thread in any way. I have also seen spammers advertise their own sites or services in old threads and that shouldn't be done either.

When you say that you got phished, what exactly happened? Did Electrum at one point display a pop-up that instructed you to update your software, you clicked on a phishing link, and downloaded a fake Electrum app? Or did you manually search for and download a fake version of Electrum from the internet?

If your coins were sent to a fake wallet, there is a chance that they have already been moved to another address. Incoming transactions on some of those fake Electrum apps are often sent to the hacker's address upon confirmation  You can check if the address you sent them to still holds the funds or not on a block explorer.

If you installed an unknown software, your computer might be compromised. Besides installing a legit version of Electrum, you might want to consider reinstalling your OS to be 100% certain that your PC is not infected with any malware that might have come together with that fake app.

None of the suggested terms are the correct ones.

Your account was created after this thread was made. I have a rule in the first post where I don't allow users with accounts registered at a date after the creation of this thread to participate in the game. None of your guesses were correct anyways.

Believe it or not, but only these two terms are correct so far. All this editing had me looking through LoyceV's and TryNinja's scrappers to figure out who wrote what and when. Anyways, two have been solved and there are four words to go. cygan seems to be leading the race again. Any contenders for the throne?       

Let's say that becomes a possibility in the distant future, why would people participate in that? For the money? What do you think would happen to Bitcoin in that case? You would see a bear market and drop in value that we haven't experienced before. Unless a fast fix was found, it would be the end of Bitcoin as we know it. I don't see why Bitcoin enthusiasts would coordinate their efforts in destroying something in such a way.

I am glad you got it fixed in the end.
Just for reference in case someone else faces the same problem that you had, which registry cleaning software did you end up using, and what is your operating system? Maybe not all of them work equally well, so it's good to know.

I have heard about BOLOS but I have to admin that I never took the time to look up what it meant. When I saw the user mention the term, I thought it was just a bunch of words he put together my mistake. My bad!

I wonder how their staking platform performs when compared to other staking options in terms of rewards, and if Ledger gets a percentage of each sum that is paid out? If you use their swaps platform for example, you get worse rates than if you visited the official website and performed the swap there.   

That's a shame. In that case, I have no other choice than to leave the amount in the OP that I currently have. I can't get official information about the reasons why some members have bigger while others have lower withdrawal minimums. Therefore, I will just keep the amount I see in my account and that is 0.002 BTC.

Here is the 10th and final round of my word game.
I hope you had fun with it, enjoy!


1.   mining code
2.   block header
3.   eosio
4.   ring signature
5.   opcodes
6.   hyperledger

* Members of all ranks can guess the terms.

Good Luck!

You might as well try to update the Bitcoin app to the newest version (if it isn't already) and see if that fixes anything. Although it shouldn't have an affect on the firmware upgrade, but who knows.

The other two possibilities is to contact Ledger support and explaining in detail what is happening.
Resetting your hardware device to factory settings, recovering from seed, and trying it all over again.

But check with Ledger support first. Be prepared to wait though, they aren't exactly the fastest to respond.

So in a post-apocalyptic world without the internet, electricity, and maybe water, your biggest worry would be how to send bitcoin? Bitcoin can already work over satellite or via radio waves. But again that requires electricity or a power generator of some sorts.

How are people going to charge their phones with no electricity? Don't say solar chargers please because majority of people don't have those. And there would probably be a shortage of them since everyone would want one. With no electricity, it's not going to be easy to mass-produce them.

I am a long-standing Ledger user myself and pretty satisfied with my purchase, but If I needed a new hardware wallet today, I would go for a Trezor. Ledger has let the community down several times by not admitting the extent of the database leak and producing faulty devices. I don't think Trezor or any other company would have handled it any better because it's business and protecting your face and interests above all. Trezor also doesn't like discussing the unfixable seed extraction vulnerability, but I think it is something that should be part of their starting manual and onboarding process. Like I said, protect your interest above all.   

Not exactly sure what this is supposed to mean.

They were both created for the same purpose. There is no reason to think that hodlers use Trezor for long-term storage, but they work with a Ledger for everyday transactions. Usually it's either one or the other.

And what features would that be that we don't care about?
 
Most people wouldn't be able to name 50 different coins even if they had a gun pointed to their head. So those numbers mean nothing. Besides, both Ledger devices support the same coins. On Trezor, it's the other way around. The Model One doesn't support all coins that the Model T does.

Ehh, what? I am not sure what a "Blockchain open Ledger Operating system" is, but the difference between the two is that Ledger uses a secure element which is closed-source. You cannot reproduce it because the code is not public. Trezor, doesn't have a secure element at all and is reproducible and open-source.

What app are you installing/uninstalling?
I came across this reddit post where another user had the same error on the Nano X while using VeChain. He got it fixed by installing the latest VeChain app on his device. Try and uninstall your apps manually before updating the firmware, maybe that will fix it. Or updating them to the newest versions.
There are several threads where people complained seeing that error in connection to their Litecoin, but like you said, they fixed it by installing the newest firmware and LTC app.   

Yeah, you should still be using the latest firmware for various reasons such as vulnerability and bug fixes, stability improvements, etc.

Is your Ledger Live updated to the newest version which is currently 2.35.2?
