With regard to these so-called instant exchanges, we should take everything they say with a grain of salt ^{[usually, they do have a part in their TOS that mentions they could still ask for other details (e.g. source of funds, KYC documents and etc...) and this happens more often than most would think (especially if one part of the equation involves mixers)]}!

Since gumamit ka ng dalawang number sa app nila, then baka related ito sa cache issues nung app sa phone mo kaya subukan mo rin mag clear ng cache at data ^{[baka masolve yung invalid OTP issue]}:

• Ganito ang steps sa Android devices:
  
  • Settings > Apps > GCash > Storage > Clear data & cache

That's going to be a huge update ^{[best of luck]}, but you can begin by using the following platforms ^{[use ctrl + f for SHA-256]}:
^{- Unfortunately, for some of the details you still need to go to each of the manufacturers' pages, but it's a good start.}

• WhatToMine
• ASICMinerValue

I believe that's the culprit and based on some of the issues & fixes ^{[e.g. this one]} on Google, it usually affects the CPU and memory, but for some reason, it's affecting my GPU instead.

I tried both of them and at first, I thought it worked, but as soon as I interacted with the app ^{[specifically the Twitter feed section (scrolling and etc...)]}, my GPU usage goes up to the 20 - 30% range.
^{- From what I understood, normally it shouldn't have that kind of impact, so perhaps there's a bug that's causing it (BTW I'm using an Nvidia GPU on Windows 10).}

@SquirrelJulietGarden
OneKey recently added support for Taproot, so here are the steps for creating Taproot addresses in their Android app ^{[it seems to be "open-source"]}:

• When you first open the app, it creates an Ethereum account by default, so you have to change it from the top of the page and select Bitcoin.
  
  • Then click the "create account" button:
    
    
  
  
• Choose Taproot
  
  
  
  
• Click "receive" button
  
  

It's worth noting that "used" hardware wallets ^{[in general]} don't have a resale value ^{[selling an unused HW is hard, let alone a used one (I'm referring to normal people, as opposed to an official reseller of a certain brand)]}!
^{- Considering that there's a very high chance of getting a modified version in secondhand markets, most buyers tend to stay away from that route!}

You shouldn't ^{[for the most part (unless you own a customized version)]} if you're going to only buy one!

Now this is the kind of feature that I'd love to see in hardware wallets ^{[whoever came up with it is a genius]}

I have to admit, I really enjoyed seeing Trezor taking a dig at Ledger

A hardware wallet, NO, but a software wallet, YES... Blockstream released "this" for Jade but having said that, the more I'm reading about it ^{[e.g. here's one]}, the more I think this might actually be true ^{[can someone confirm if it really works]}!

Another strange move by them, but perhaps they're planning to create a dedicated website for the Stack Duo.

I tried replicating it with my Android device ^{[for both of their wallets]}, but I had no luck so I checked their Twitter timeline and they did release a statement earlier mentioning there's "a major bug on iOS that causes crashes ^{[it has something to do with their current Monero library (they'll change it soon, but no ETA yet)]}".

Don't be, it could happen to anyone

Same here... Considering that a lot has been added to the app in question, it's probably just poorly optimized but having said that, it also feels like it has a cryptojacker in it ^{[to a small extent (I'm not trying to accuse OP of anything but personally, I don't have issues with free apps that have such things as long as they explicitly mention it in multiple places and only use a small percentage of my resources while I'm using their app]}.

May point ka, pero sa tingin ko hindi rin tatagal yan dahil for sure tataas din yung presyo ng mga ganyang services at in the long run, liliit ang target audience nila ^{[dahil mas mabilis mauubos ang funds nila]} hanggang sa mawala tlga sila.

Sa pagkakaalam ko, walang official statement na nagsasabing ipagbabawal nila ang prepaid sims in the future!

For what it's worth, you can create your own version ^{[with a personal touch]} of Blockwatch V1 while also saving some money in the process... From what I can see, they were using the "Watchy E-Paper Smartwatch kit ^{[by SQFMI]}". It's open-source by design ^{[HW and SW]}, so if you know how to code or you're willing to learn, then it could be the next best thing:

• Note: I prefer not to vouch, but you can get the above kit for "$59".
• Watchy: The 50$ e-Ink Smartwatch Unboxing
• Custom Watch Faces & Enclosure Prototypes
• Watchy E-Paper Smartwatch Lets You Build Your Own Wearable Tech

You have a point, but when it comes to a 5$ wrenching attack, the attacker could still hit you until you give them the seed phrases ^{[in other words, destroying our devices would only cause a delay against this type of attack]}.

Personally, I'd still keep it in someplace safe ^{[after wiping/resetting it]} even if it becomes obsolete, but I've seen a microwave oven and a hammer would do a wonderful job of destroying these kinds of devices.

Are you implying that there's an easy way to trigger its self-destruct mechanism and that actually bricks the device instantly, as opposed to wiping it ^{[I've noticed most wallets tend to only wipe it]} or you were referring to something else?
^{- Based on the two coldcard models that are in the above table, they don't seem to have the former.}

I'm not sure if that's how they are numbering the different releases for the PRO version, but for the free versions, it starts with a 2 ^{[v2.61 > v2.51 > v2.41]}... I just tried the latest version ^[v2.61] and I can also confirm the higher fan spins ^{[especially at the beginning (it uses around 30% of my 5-year-old GPU, in a form of interrupted spikes)]}.

  I don't know what version I had before the update, but it certainly wasn't as resource intensive as v6.20
  
  Same here... Last time I checked, my ancient laptop ^{[without a dedicated graphics card]} didn't have any issues running it, but now even my 5-year-old desktop is feeling the load ^{[especially in the first few minutes of running the app]}.

I guess you can always rely on the version that's available on their "download page".

Sorry for not describing it in a clear manner ^{[my bad]}, but you nailed it... By default, the first generated Bitcoin address has a derivation path of m/84'/0'/0'/0/0 ^{[change address is m/84'/0'/0'/1/0]} and for the second and third generated Bech32 addresses is m/84'/0'/0'/0/1 and m/84'/0'/0'/0/2 respectively. I only used that particular derivation path as an example, but stack wallet/duo also supports Legacy & Wrapped segwit, and earlier, I did my tests for these two as well.

I completely forgot that feature existed ^{[out of habit (SMH)]}, but since I ditched my stack wallet seed phrases a week after making the small payment tests, I would've not been able to use the "detect existing accounts" feature in Electrum because the seeds that I used earlier, didn't have any pre-existing accounts attached to it.

It literally takes a minute to create an account, but a part of me thinks you might be referring to issues surrounding units of evil. Am I correct? Regardless of that, it's not a good practice to use your real name or anything that connects your online persona to your real identity ^{[websites/forums are always a target for hackers and if they manage to gain access to the database, then they could use such information for all sort of things]}!

AFAIK, the highlighted part results in a permanent ban.

I still have a Microsooul coin, but I'm not sure it'd be useful to you... It's also a 2014 Microsoul 0.01 BTC Series-1, but it's peeled and ungraded ^{["it used to have ANACS MS 67 grading"]}: Pictures
^{Note: I'm not sure where you're currently residing but unfortunately, I can't ship to the US.}

It's worth noting that this one doesn't allow you to take a screenshot of the recovery phrase page, but the other one still does ^{[quite strange]}!

Speaking of Electrum and derivation paths, I had no luck finding them ^{[I even increased the gap limit to 2000 and also used ismine("type your address") in the console, but it kept showing false]} when I used the exact derivation paths that stack duo ^{[this probably applies to stack wallet as well]} shows for each of their addresses, so in case someone else stumbles onto a similar issue, just go with what Electrum suggests by default ^{[until account (e.g. m/84'/0'/0')]}.

It seems that the "Crypto.com Pay" option is also available ^{[IIRC, it doesn't have any limits for Indonesians, but do some research before using it]}:

• After clicking its button, you have to select other cryptocurrency wallets from the bottom left corner of the pop-up window > type your email, agree to their terms ^{[don't forget to "read" them]}, then click the continue to payment button > change the payment currency from CRO to BTC > pay.

Alternatively, you can try one of their "official resellers" as well ^[DYOR].

I managed to find a few more fake airdrop websites:
^{Note: I replaced all of the valid links with their respective archived versions!}

• arbitrumfoundation-airdrop.com ^{[Creation Date: 2023-03-16]}
• arditrum.com ^{[Creation Date: 2023-03-23]}
• arbitrum-chains.com/arbitrum ^{[Creation Date: 2023-03-14]}

Please take a minute to also report the above websites to their registrars ^{[you can find their names by clicking each of the creation date links]}.

BTW, there's one more in the following thread: FAKE ARBITRUM PRESALE AND AIRDROP ONGOING (NEVER JOIN PRESALE)

I'm hoping na tinatakot lang nila ang mga kliyente/users ^{[dahil supposedly may no-log policy si CM]} at ang malaking bahagi nito is multiple nodes + anything na hindi connected sa mga users nito ^{[it'd be nice kung ito tlga ang result, but I'm not getting my hopes up]}

Hindi fair na ituring natin sila bilang isang scammer dahil never sila nag scam ^{[there's a big difference between how someone uses a particular platform and what that platform does or doesn't]}!
