Why? I don't understand the fixation that people have with whole numbers. I have a friend who is slowly showing some interest in Bitcoin, but he is so concerned about owning a whole Bitcoin and is not considering smaller amounts. One day he said he doesn't think he will ever have enough to purchase 1 BTC. I keep telling him how ridiculous that is, because he can purchase much smaller amounts. I tried to make a comparison with fiat and explained it to him like this:

When you get your monthly salary, you aren't getting round numbers. You aren't being paid $10.000 a month. Maybe you earn $1374/month. You didn't turn your job down because the pay isn't a nice round number. Why don't you apply the same logic to Bitcoin?

Can I ask what level of experience and knowledge you have about crypto and what research have you done to feel comfortable in recommending those coins to your family? Where are they storing their digital assets? What did you tell them about protecting private keys and seeds? Crypto isn't like the stock market? If Bitcoin dumps, so will the rest of your uncle's portfolio. If Bitcoin rises, so will the majority of alts.   

Recommended by whom? How profitable will that investment be long-term? Check the top 10 coins from 10 years ago, do you recognize any? Check the top 10 from 5 years ago, how many of those are still in the Top 10 today?

It doesn't matter what the exchange is or isn't. One reason to be concerned is that the exchange can abuse your personal information. Another reason is that their database can get hacked, someone else gets hold of your information, and that person or group abuses your identifiable info. Don't make the mistake of thinking that an exchange values you of puts your interests and needs above theirs. They will always protect their own businesses and that means selling or sharing your data with government and law enforcement agencies if they are being required to do so. 

Import them from where
What about the individual crypto apps on the hardware wallet? Where those still installed on the device? If so, the simple solution is to re-create your accounts in Ledger Live with the device connected to your PC to allow it to scan your accounts and balances. Not sure what could have caused it though.

I use mine mostly as a portfolio checker as well. Do you connect your Nano when you generate new addresses? You should do that as well to be able to compare the address in LL to the one displayed on the screen of your device? It works without doing that check, but it's not recommended.

Electrum's coin control is superior. If you are interested in spending certain inputs, paying too many, etc., that should really be done with Electrum. It's easier and more user-friendly I think.

According to the link you shared, their reddit moderator mentioned that the secure element is manufactured in France. The rest of the device is surely assembled elsewhere where the labor is cheaper. That same moderator (btchip) also mentioned in a different reddit post, that the device is not manufactured in China. I have no link for that, but I believe it was said in one of the user complains that dkbit98 linked to in this thread.

There isn't much to add besides the points I made in the previous posts. I don't play a lot, but I place a few bets every now and then. I have no complaints, only the recommendations mentioned previously that I feel would make the site better. I have noticed that they often offer better odds compared to much more popular sportsbooks.

The casinos make money when players lose their deposits in various games. Since that is not enough for some of them, they have introduced excessive withdrawal limits to profit even more. It's not a scam in the traditional sense, but it's certainly a model that should be criticized and called out publicly, so that the community knows what is going on. Pocketing $90 on fees at a time when the withdrawal fees are like $0.15 is plain wrong.

I have had my Ledger long before the leak (same as you) and it fulfills many of the needs and expectations I have for a hardware wallet. The leak was unfortunate, but none of us can do anything about it now. I am not stuck with it, but I am using a product that works fine. My respect and confidence in Ledger as a company has been shaken, but that's got nothing to do with their hardware wallet or its features. If I needed a new hardware wallet today, Ledger would certainly not be my first choice. But we are now moving into off-topic territory, so it's better to stop.

All those forecast sites and "predictors" are unreliable. I would even go as far as to call them bullshit. Enter any coin in a search engine followed by the terms 'forecast 2021/2025/X', and you will get a bunch of prediction platforms. All of them are showing incredible growths for all assets you look at. Newbies shouldn't use or trust such sources because they will get the wrong idea that you can purchase any coin you want and it will give you good returns.

That's the thing. It is apparently supposed to provide a safe (or safer) environment to the onboarding and seed generation setup. But that process is already safe (at least it's supposed to have been safe all this time). If it's not, have we been led to believe that it is?

It reminds me of this spiderman meme:

@cryptown
It might help if you explained what you are trying to accomplish by changing the gap limit. There might be a better and safer way to do it if you tell us what you are trying to achieve.

The ease of use is affected. Unless you made it clear to your heirs that they need to increase the gap limit and check the addresses beyond gap limit 500, it's unlikely they would think of doing it themselves. Restoring a wallet from seed where the software uses a standard gap limit would return an empty wallet right? Or you simply suffer a memory loss and forget about the gap limit you used.

What's the benefit of this improvement? You can set up your new wallet without an internet connection, I get it. You can generate a new seed, maybe even test its validity (not sure how Trezor does it). But if you are using a hardware wallet, you probably don't have an airgapped system anyway. Sooner or later, that device where you set up your Trezor on will go online. It's not like the old hardware onboarding processes leaked the seed phrases because you needed an internet connection. Maybe I am not looking at it the right way.   

I would never purchase a hardware wallet to store $50 in it if that amount is the first and last time I own Bitcoin. But if that's not the case, and you are planning to periodically increase that stash to say $100, $200, etc., it's well worth the money and the trouble. I think that if someone's first experience with Bitcoin is a positive one, that person would likely want more. Let's not forget that if Bitcoin reaches a valuation we all hope for, those initial $50 would be worth a lot more. 

Just a small typo in your previous post. I fixed it for you

I would advise you to take a look at the Bitcoin for Beginners series by Andreas Antonopoulos. The playlist consists of 45 videos of various lengths. Some are as short as 4-5 minutes but there are also video lectures as long as 1-2 hours. And it's free.

You can, but not in a standard way. You have to first enable the console tab by clicking on 'View' and 'Show Console'. Enter the following code in the console tab:
Electrum will then generate a new 12-word seed for you to write down.

Here is an example of how it looks. For some reason, I had to do it twice because nothing happened the first time.

They have been OK so far, but they are also lacking on certain fronts.

- The matches in their offer miss plenty of interesting betting markets. Just make a comparison and open the same match on Betja and on Sportsbet.io and FortuneJack for example. You will notice how those other two platforms have a much wider list of betting markets.
- A similar thing can be said about the live betting markets. They only offer some basic markets. Not sufficient in my opinion.
- Their betting limits are small. Highrollers can't play on Betja because of those limits.
- They have a weird restriction in live betting. I have often noticed that if you place one live bet, they won't allow you to place another one on that same match. That makes no sense and that's not something I have seen with more popular brands. 

Thanks for the suggestion. I noticed that they created their ANN thread today. There is an old thread about that particular platform but it wasn't started by an official representative of the casino. It's a nice way to announce yourself to the members on Bitcointalk, but since the casino is still new here, I will wait a bit before adding them in my OP.

The minimum bet amount matches with the amount you can claim from the faucet. It should be around 5 cents I think. You can claim the faucet once every 60 minutes and you need to place a bet with the claimed amount before you can claim again. Sometimes the bet needs to be 1.40 or higher for you to be eligible for another faucet claim.

Did theymos remove support for Grin or was the link never added on the purchase copper membership page? According to his post, it's suppose to be there, but it isn't.

There is nothing wrong with your suggestion, but for someone brand-new to Bitcoin transactions, it might be easier to have a look at mempool.space at first. After that he can learn how to check the mempool manually. While I am writing this, we have only around 600 unconfirmed transactions in the mempool and a 1 sat/vByte is enough for a quick confirmation unless something changes dramatically.

A quality post is also one that creates more questions, initiates a genuine conversation, makes you think and look at things from a different perspective. A good post can change your initial opinion.

Tupac once said that he won't change the world, but he will ignite a spark in the person that will change the world. A good post can do that to. It can give you the idea you needed to make something happen.     

Most of the coins and tokens are created for the developers to make money on them as fast as possible.
Most have no use cases or valid reasons to exist. The "solutions" and benefits they promise to offer can already be taken advantage of by using Bitcoin. Many of the shitcoins are based on empty promises that an MVP will be created sometimes in the future, but it never is. Mostly, it's just a theory and a whitepaper promising to change the world.

Stick with what is know, what is working, and has a significant global userbase. Don't chase lambos and leprechauns.
