7321  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I Forget authenticor Keys and passphrase of m'y wallet on: October 06, 2021, 09:04:22 AM
You have the option to restore your wallet from seed in Electrum without the 2FA feature.

Click on "Create new wallet" > "I already have a seed" and enter you seed. Enter the correct seed of your 2FA wallet and after that there should be an option to restore the wallet with 2FA disabled. Click on that and you are all set. You can then spend from this wallet without being asked for the 2FA code.

But you should know that you will be creating larger transactions and pay bigger mining fees since you are using a multi-sig setup. Once your wallet is recovered, create a new standard Electrum wallet with a new seed (one that isn't 2FA) and move your coins to that one.
7322  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Recover Funds from Blockchain.com Wallet on: October 06, 2021, 08:52:18 AM
So, as i understand, should i import the seed phrase i created in the www.blockchain.com Wallet from the www.blockchain.com Wallet to newly created www.electrum.org Wallet?
You have to import the seed phrase elsewhere because you don't see the coins in the blockchain.com wallet that you are using now. But that wallet is known for having all kinds of bugs, so I am not surprised. If you had access to your coins on blockchain.com, you could simply create a new wallet with Electrum (with a new seed), and send everything from blockchain.com to the newly created Electrum wallet.

Doing that creates an on-chain transaction + mining fees, but as o_e_l_e_o pointed out, you will have a seed generated in a somewhat safer environment compared to a web wallet. If your computer is malware-free of course. When you import your seed to a second wallet, you aren't creating any transactions. You are just replicating your wallet in a different client. But you are still using a seed that was in contact with a web wallet.

Did I make a mistake that I used exodus? are all funds are gone? or simply should I use the same 12 private keys on new Trezor device at it will be fine?
Your 12-words seed has now been imported into a hot wallet (the Exodus software wallet, and is no longer protected by the safe environment that a hardware wallet such as Trezor creates. The whole point of generating a seed in a hardware wallet is for it to never get in contact with an online client. In your case, you did exactly that. You now need to generate a new seed once you get your replacement Trezor device for increased seed and coin security.

I have also read back in 2018 that there was something wrong with PGP and it was crackable. Can't claim the actual title to be fair but remember that the article was stating that PGP isn't safe option.
I guess you read something about the EFAIL vulnerability like it's explained in this article.

According to the article, it is possible to decrypt a PGP encrypted email if it gets intercepted or stolen from a computer or a server. But to do that, a custom HTML modification would need to be inserted in the encrypted email before it gets sent back to the attacker. If performed successfully, this tricks the email software to send back an unencrypted version of the encrypted email back to the attackers. The problem lies in the email clients, and not directly in PGP. The article mentions Outlook and Thunderbird as two email clients vulnerable to this type of attack. At least they were back in 2018.   

The article suggests a mitigation technique. Disable HTML rendering in your email software.

Unless you're a content curator or some known individual, it's not really easy to make big bucks per article. The most I saw was maybe like close to $100, but the platform is highly-competitive...
I just had a look at some of the posts that were trending and it's not unusual to find posts that earned up to $300-$400 or more. But like you said, those are reserved to the creme de la creme of Steemit. One positive thing is that there are several Bitcoin-related posts that are trending. It's mostly price analysis of some kind though. A huge amount of content is in Chinese and Korean, and there also seems to be a great focus on food and home-made recipes.
7327  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin vs Altcoins on: October 05, 2021, 07:22:31 AM
Bitcoin is useless. Nothing more than a tool for speculative idiots. Satshi who?  What is bitcoin backed by.  We are building a new stablecoin that will be 100% backed by dollars. A currency backed by the worlds largest economy. Unlike useless bitcoin. This is the future.  Reply for more info.
It's because of people like you that there are so many scams in the cryptocurrency niche and many people think bad of it. You are using a Bitcoin forum to badmouth Bitcoin and market your own shitcoin. No one smart enough is going to use that to help you make money. Just close the door after you leave. 

Isn't the first rule of investing to not put all your eggs into one basket? By going only for BTC you would be doing just that.
Your investment portfolio doesn't have to be crypto only. Bitcoin is a big enough crypto basket. That's one egg. Put another egg in real estate. A third one could be in precious stones, stocks, long-term savings, etc.

I started with steemit, you engage with community and get rewarded for it. Hive.blog is fork of steem, you may try both.
How much money can really be made on those platforms though? Probably not a lot. I would think you need a good level of English to create interesting topics that other users will like and upvote. Op doesn't strike me as someone who does that to be honest. Those who take pictures and create artwork also seem relatively successful on the two platforms that you mentioned. If OP has those kinds of skills, he could try it out. Lastly, playing and creating content related to video games is also rewarding.     
7329  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Basics things to note before venturing into crypto on: October 05, 2021, 06:35:30 AM
The headline is wrong.
Those advice you give only works for people who trade cryptocurrencies. And most people do that without any prior knowledge or experience. That's why people lose money. People also lose money because they gamble with unknown coins and unlisted tokens expecting higher returns. But many times those returns only turn into bigger losses.

Owning crypto and trading (especially day trading) isn't the same thing. Don't invest in crappy projects, stick with Bitcoin and maybe (only maybe) some of the more popular alts. Understand that the market moves in the direction that Bitcoin moves, so there aren't many reasons to look for something that will act differently from that trend. If you don't day-trade and gamble with your money, there wouldn't be a need for a trading guru or mentor to help you out. 
7330  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Two strong policies to save your being scam on: October 04, 2021, 06:49:33 PM
Sad thing is that even before Bitcoin was born, this kind of scam already exists (e.g., turning your $10 into $100 in 10 days) and newbies and beginners are still prone to this scheme.
New generations are growing up, they have easy access to the internet through mainstream mobile phones. Scamming people has become easier to do with crypto because it's not regulated. Most of the time, you have no one to turn to for the recovery of your funds. Even if you do, if the scammers are smart enough, they won't be found. 

Although we can’t stop these scammers from continuing to deceive people, experienced ones like us can prevent newbies and beginners from getting victimized by educating them on what’s real about Bitcoin.
It's the ignorant and gullible ones who become victims. Those who only see the promised profits without asking themselves where that money is supposed to come from. If you don't immediately recognize a bitcoin doubler as a scam attempt, I am sorry, but there aren't many ways to help you. You will experience it the hard way sooner or later. Not you personally, just to be clear.   
7331  Other / Off-topic / Re: What do you think about this? on: October 04, 2021, 06:16:15 PM
Sometimes a casino is also partly to blame. Most often casino sites can detect multi-accounts and other violations. But the problem is that they don't flag it. They don't even warn the gambler that creating a second account is a violation of their terms and conditions.
Most casinos hide behind their Terms of Service. They know that players don't read them, but they really should. It's your responsibility to know what's written in the TOS, especially the parts about multi-accounting, VPN usage, restricted territories, and even the restrictions that certain game providers place for particular locations.   

But majority of the casinos couldn't care less about these violations. They would only act on it when a jackpot or a big win happens. That's the time they would inform the player that he does not qualify for the prize because of the violations.
If you win, that's when they will do a proper security audit of your account. While you are depositing money and losing, very few casinos will have a problem with that.
7332  Other / Archival / Re: Anyway to Delete ? on: October 04, 2021, 06:04:52 PM
Even if you deleted all your posts or edited them to show only "..." (I have seen people do that), there are tools and scrappers hosted by forum users that can be used to show the original posts and the content of those you deleted. Therefore, I wouldn't bother. If you want to get rid of your account just stop using it, or change your password by punching random characters on your keyboard. Change your email to something that doesn't exist, log out of your account, and it's as good as lost.   
7333  Other / Meta / Re: Are we now allowing obviously false information to be posted as truth? on: October 04, 2021, 01:42:37 PM
Those types of threads shouldn't even get that much attention on a Bitcoin forum. The best cure is ignoring them and let them die naturally. This only gives them and the OP the attention they were hoping for. I can't remember when I visited P&S the last time and I am not planning to do it anytime soon. Don't let someone's viewpoints in a P&S thread affect your stay on a Bitcoin forum.   
7334  Other / Meta / Re: Should every newbie have a limit in the bounty of social media? on: October 04, 2021, 01:10:46 PM
Years ago, there was suggestion that the forum can charge fee in Bitcoin (not altcoins) from projects that want to run their bounties on the forum.
I suggested that at one point. Security deposits for Bounty threads.

I am probably not the first nor last one to do it though. But the general feeling I got is that no one really thinks that it's a good idea. It would create a wrong assumption that the forum is behind those bounty campaigns and that they are safe to join.


I don't think that anyone should be restricted from joining bounties. If they want to waste their time doing that, it's their loss. Just because someone is a newbie here, doesn't mean that they don't have social media accounts that are perfect in the eyes of campaigns who need them.

It would help to fight spam if bounty reports were no longer allowed to be reported in a new post on the forum. Instead, bounty campaigns would have to allow users to submit such reports off site. Those who don't comply get locked or deleted. But my experience tells me that no one is interested in making any changes to the bounty sub.
7335  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Was thinking about switching wallets to a local one on: October 04, 2021, 12:51:52 PM
If you have an extra laptop lying around, you can do a complete wipe to it and never connect it to the internet.
It's not enough to just not connect to the internet. There should no longer be a possibility to do it. You need to make sure that you don't have the required hardware to ever establish such a connection. That entails the Ethernet and WIFI card.

There, you can do the advice from hosseinimr93. It's better to create new keys when doing this and do not import your old ones.
If you do that and import keys that were once used with a hot wallet, they will remain as keys that were associated with a hot wallet. You are just using them in a safer environment now, but they are not secure, and remain potentially vulnerable depending on the software they were generated in.
7336  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen after 21 million bitcoin have been mined? on: October 04, 2021, 09:55:42 AM
- what happens after 21 million bitcoins have been mined?
The mining process continues, but miners won't be rewarded with the usual block rewards. They will have to manage with the transaction fees only. 

- What will miners do after the total of 21 million bitcoins have been mined?
Same answer as above.

- Will the total supply be increased because some bitcoin holders have died and others have lost their private keys?
Bitcoin is only Bitcoin if it sticks to the original rules or modified rules that don't negatively affect the 3 pillars of Bitcoin (transparency, decentralization, and immutability). The original rules state a total cap of around 21 million units. If you change this to 25, 50, or an unlimited cap, that's no longer the cryptocurrency people agreed to use.
7337  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if stop believing about bitcoin ? on: October 04, 2021, 09:44:25 AM
That question might have made sense back in 2009-2010 when we were first introduced to Bitcoin. It's irrelevant now because Bitcoin has survived and jumped over all hoops that have been put in its way. You can't question Bitcoin's existence or utility just because you can't see it or touch it. You don't see the air you breath either, but it's still there. For now, there is no reason to believe that people are going to abandon a decentralized technology that gives them power and control they don't have elsewhere.
7338  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 6000 coinbase clients hacked on: October 04, 2021, 09:32:02 AM
This is scary, I have some considerable amount of my tokens in Binance and I am definitely risking those coins from being atolen because I don't have any hardware wallet and the hardware wallets that store those tokens are so expensive and a lot of the tampered ones are spreading online, being sold to unknowing newbies.
Can't you invest a small part of your "considerable amount" to improve the safety of your digital assets? The cheapest hardware devices sell for $50-$100. That's a one-time payment for the whole life span of that device. When you think about it, if you withdraw Bitcoin twice from an exchange like Binance, you would be asked to pay withdrawal fees of around $50 in total. That's already the value of a Nano S for example.

Don't buy hardware wallets from unofficial sellers online. Purchase them from official websites or affiliated and official resellers. If a reseller is located close to your place of living, you will have an additional advantage of not having to ship the gadget to your home and have the company store your personal data on their servers. 
7339  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: wrong address on: October 03, 2021, 07:12:47 PM
You don't have to share any of your private info, but there is an easy way to check if you are infected with clipboard malware. Just take any address from a blockchain explorer, copy it, and paste it into your electrum wallet like you would normally do when you create a transaction. If the pasted address changes and is a different one from the address you copied, your computer is infected. It it's the same, it's not a clipboard hijacker.
7340  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: wrong address on: October 03, 2021, 06:57:47 PM
Hard to say without more information.
You might be infected with a clipboard hijacker. A type of malware that replaces the address you copy with one belonging to a fraudster. Try and copy and paste any address in your wallet software, and see if it's the same one.

When we are on the subject of software and wallets, which client did you use to send the coins from and where did you download it from?
Are you absolutely sure your friend sent you the correct address?
is it possible that you did some other work with bitcoin and addresses while copy/pasting that address from your friend, which could have resulted in you accidently copy-pasting a wrong address instead of the one from your friend?
