If you can verify the bug by creating a test-transaction (no need to broadcast it, just reject it on the Ledger), that would be much appreciated.

I tried it on my Nano X, and the address you have a problem with is displayed correctly on my device - The Nano X at least has a larger screen so the entire address can be displayed at once.



Unless it's fixed already in the latest firmware, but I'm always afraid to upgrade those.

In the worst case, it can happen that you brick your hardware wallet - but I think that happens very rarely. Yet those initial problems that have occurred with Ledger firmware should be a thing of the past - this process is now much more painless and faster - unless you are using some old OS like Windows 7.

Spacecat_4, to find your transaction on blockchain explorer just right-click on the transaction in Electrum history and select the option to see the details of the transaction - a link will open in your browser, and you will get a site like this - then you need to copy the hash of your transaction. There is a possibility that the transaction can be accelerated, but only if it meets the criteria of the minimum fee.



Depending on his transaction fee, rebroadcasting the transaction could help.

This is not true, re-broadcasting is something completely different and will not help the transaction to be confirmed faster, but only to keep it in mempool.

There are additional services claiming to be able to "accelerate" a transaction. Their ability to get a transaction confirmed faster is limited to re-broadcasting your transaction, to help in the situation where that mining pool has dropped your transaction already.

Ledger has announced that there are difficulties with Doge transactions in Ledger Live, perhaps this is the reason that the addresses in Ledger Live and Ledger devices are not identical.

We are currently experiencing some difficulties with DOGE transactions in Ledger Live. As far as we know, there isn't a third-party compatible wallet that you could use in the meantime.

More info here - > Send DOGE with ledger live to exchange but does not get sent.

LOL. Tomorrow USA central bank says they baned Bitcoin. Price would drop 30%.

Only 30%? I think that in this particular case, that percentage would be much higher, because we should not forget how much influence the US has when it comes to Bitcoin. We are not just talking about Coinbase, Grayscale, PayPal or Tesla, but also about the global US influence on the rest of the world - which means that such a move would be followed by some other countries that otherwise blindly obey every command from the US.


Also check out today, an entire country of 85 million people banned crypto and the price dropped all of $3000 and looks like that was it.

Turkey did not ban cryptocurrencies in the literal sense, they banned their use for the purchase of goods and services, and everything else is still allowed as before. It is also wrong to compare Turkey and the US in this or any other context, these are two completely different countries and what happens in them affects the rest of the world quite differently.

$50k could happen soon but it is a big stretch to say it will, and if it doesn't happen soon it will probably never happen.

For someone who has been in the world of cryptocurrency for a long time, the word never should not exist in the vocabulary - because when it comes to Bitcoin, anything is possible.
7625  Economy / Economics / Re: Coinbase reported significant user growth before IPO on: April 17, 2021, 10:51:03 AM
Yes , coinbase  is mostly in us while binance is global
Binance supports 46 fiat currencies while coinbase only 3 (USD, EUR, GBP

Perhaps we can conclude that Coinbase is still targeting the markets that have the highest standard of living, and the US, UK and EU definitely fit into that strategy. I think most Coinbase users also come from these parts of the world, while Binance is trying to position itself as a global crypto exchange available to anyone around the world.

However, Binance still does not have a strong enough reputation, and it is certainly not helped by the fact that they are still perceived as a Chinese company - although they have long since moved away from the influence of Chinese authorities and become a global player.

i only see this in the movies but do this trully happen for real ? but teams should be investigate if what is the truth . they need to prepare lie detector test to eliminate liers

Too many people live in an imaginary world, and the reality is something else entirely - why should it be weird that there is bribery and corruption in sports, or that athletes are blackmailed into doing something against their will? Wherever big money revolves, crime is present - and sport is just one big money factory that everyone wants their share of. Lie detectors, however, are not something that can be proof that someone is really lying - so they cannot be the solution to the problem.

The sport is full of scandals, some are public - but at least so many have never seen the light of day -> List of sporting scandals.



checking google it seems that vismin cup has some sort of "bubble" and players are being tested for covid to check if they are haven't been infected.

Thanks for the info which then indicates that the problem was not in the physical fitness, but it is really a rigged game.
7627  Economy / Economics / Re: Coinbase reported significant user growth before IPO on: April 16, 2021, 02:24:45 PM
At a time when crypto is going viral, everyone wants their share of the pie, so I'm not at all surprised that the number of users has increased in such large numbers - and when we add that Coinbase and Binance are the most famous crypto exchanges, it is logical that most new users end up on these platforms.

For me personally, it is not too important where someone will buy their crypto, but it is much more important that they understand what they should do after that, which means that they should not leave that same crypto to someone else for safekeeping. The idea of cryptocurrencies actually takes us back to the beginning of the problem - crypto exchange controls your coins and they are controlled by the government - which means that your funds can be frozen at any time and, in the worst case, confiscated.
7628  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An obvious rigging of Sports. on: April 16, 2021, 01:44:04 PM
Oasisman, is there a possibility that the players (at least some of them) were infected with Covid-19, are there any pre-match tests? If they weren't sick, then this is more than an obvious set-up, and considering how hard they tried to miss clear opportunities, it seems to me that the goal was to finish the game with as few points as possible.

It’s just not clear to me how professional players ever agree to do something like this because they put their whole career at stake - and no one can not get rich from one game. However, I would add that sometimes players are blackmailed into playing badly or doing a specific thing in a game (get a red card in football) - and if someone kidnaps a family member, I believe most players would do anything to bring him back.
7629  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Copper - a 5-year investment for those with no capital. on: April 16, 2021, 01:29:04 PM
This thread was for people with no investment capital, and not for those with the money to trade.

And there are really many of them in the world we live in, although some do not understand or do not want to accept it. Smart people know that garbage has its value, and I see it every day on the streets of my city where people literally go from house to house looking for just scrap metal, old and faulty electronics or digging through garbage containers in search of plastic, glass or tin packaging which they then sell.

Your idea is not bad at all, but you must know that there are people who will never get their hands dirty with jobs like this, they will always find an excuse why it is a bad way to make money.
7630  Economy / Economics / Re: Bernard Madoff dies in prison. A 20 year long Ponzi on: April 16, 2021, 01:09:26 PM
I didn't realize he was so old, but I guess time flies and I'd kind of forgotten all about him since he's been in prison.  Too bad, so sad about the judge not letting him out on compassionate grounds.  He didn't deserve that IMO.

I think he deserved the punishment he received, and the judge made a good decision - there should be no mercy for such human garbage, and I think he got it by not being sentenced to death (if at all possible for his crime). People like him are greedy to the bone and don't give a damn - they would take a crust of bread from a hungry man only if they could profit that way.

What I am personally sorry about is that there are no more such punishments for those who still follow his example today - of course they manage to catch some, but I believe that most of them manage to disappear long before they are exposed.

I'm just amazed at the childishness and pettiness of /r/WSB's mod team, but it's totally in the spirit of subreddit to make quick emotional decisions.

I was not impressed with their decision to allow a discussion of crypto, but I am not in the least surprised that one article offended them to withdraw that decision. The guys obviously have a very high opinion of themselves after what they've achieved, and no one can blame them if they don't want to discuss Bitcoin - but this kind of behavior is really childish.

They hold us for cattle that can be shoved with all sorts of rubbish

The thing is then very simple, if someone treats you like cattle (as you say), you have the choice to pretend that nothing is happening, or to simply stop using their services - use crypto exchange which in your opinion have a better relationship with customers.



It is fair if the site utilizes emails if there are important notifications, but not marketing randoms. As a matter of fact, in my case, not only am I receiving spam emails coming from the the main Binance site, I am also receiving more spam emails coming from the local Binance. I think emails are being shared.

As I have already written, it is no wonder that Binance behaves so aggressively when it comes to advertising via e-mail, but it is also possible to disable it in the settings. What would those whose data was leaked publicly in the Ledger database say to all possible spam that arrives daily on e-mail and SMS, and calls to a mobile phone? 

Far from me defending Binance, but trust me there are a lot worse things than what they do - and they can’t be turned off in a matter of seconds as needed in a particular case.
7633  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: BlockChain.Com Wallet - Why transaction FEE Is very HIGH on: April 16, 2021, 10:41:42 AM
I wasn't sure which of the free accelerators were used by you so just to be sure...

I was convinced that Via would help in this case, but like you, I got the message that the fee is too low. There may be something from AntPool, but they don't seem to be as effective as ViaBTC, of course if the fee meets their criteria.



How many days should i wait for confirms based on those information?
Are those accelerators effective on that?

There is a good chance that your transaction will be confirmed this weekend - unfortunately you can't do anything else at this point except wait for everything to resolve itself. That accelerator you used isn't really that, it's a broadcasting service that doesn't speed up your transaction. The only effective accelerator that I can confirm has helped me many times is ViaBTC, but your fee is too low and therefore does not accept your transaction.
7634  Other / Archival / Re: Binance, please stop spamming at email on: April 15, 2021, 02:41:34 PM
If Binance exchange is top, then why are they spamming like the last beggars?

And why don't you know how to protect yourself and your privacy and let someone send you spam? I have an account on that exchange, but I don't have any problems with their e-mails, nor with spam from anyone else - and I don't understand why you are surprised by this type of communication and advertising?

People who have money always want more, don't think of Binance as any different from others - you always have the choice to turn off email notifications, or use some other crypto exchange - is that so hard?
7635  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: BlockChain.Com Wallet - Why transaction FEE Is very HIGH on: April 15, 2021, 02:26:38 PM
Will it confirm after 3-4 days?

At the moment, your transaction is a little more than 19 MB from the top, which means that with this state of mempool you will most likely have to wait for the mempool to empty a bit for the weekend, and for transactions that pay 10 sat/vbyte to start being confirmed.

However, since you can't increase your fee (which is already high anyway), I'll speed up your transaction, so you can expect to get your first confirmation in the next 2-4 hours Wink
7636  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Freewallet.org - SCAMMERS CONFIRMED - Pending Litigation on: April 15, 2021, 01:48:29 PM
I am still shocked how can people in the year 2021 still keep huge amounts of money in the custody of basically random third party.

I'm not shocked at all, because people are still generally confused about what cryptocurrencies are and what the differences are between fiat and crypto - and between the classic banks and services in question. If by any chance the OP had taken $100 000 to its bank and deposited it in the account, the bank would certainly have responded through its internal mechanisms and asked the owner to prove where his money came from.

The OP simply chose from all the bad option one that will cost him a lot of time and nerves, but that is the price he has to pay if he just sends $100k to a complete stranger with a catastrophically bad reputation.
7637  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin are playing with the big boys and cleaning their energy footprint on: April 15, 2021, 01:21:01 PM
As for the listing of Coinbase and other similar companies, this is nothing strange or unusual, it is something completely normal in the business of any company - because everyone wants to increase profits and be as competitive as possible in the market. All this, of course, gives even greater legitimacy to cryptocurrencies, because it shows that these companies will not just disappear and that this is not a passing trend.

When it comes to crypto mining and its effects on the environment, I think one thicker book could be written just from the posts that exist on this forum - but everyone who has read those same posts carefully knows that the whole thing about mining is pretty harmless considering all the other industries that destroyed our planet 20-30 years ago, and now they are just driving the last nails into its coffin while at the same time calling out Bitcoin which consumes some miserable 0.2% of the world's total energy consumption.

As I already wrote in a previous post, it’s not just a question of whether BTC uses energy from renewable sources or is 100% on coal, the point is that it consumes it at all. Hatters will always raise this issue because it is very easy to manipulate such news, so we already have an idea that is spreading in the form of the message "BTC mining will leave us in the dark".
7638  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will never go below $50,000 again on: April 15, 2021, 12:59:29 PM
For these reasons, Bitcoin will never go below $50k again, even if we get a decent crash at some point like most people expect based on past market cycles (and yes I've been in crypto during the two big crypto winters), the bottom still won't go under $50k. Do you agree? Hit the poll!

I am personally not convinced that the price will never go below $50k again, especially since the current price is only some $13k above that level and a drop of only some + 20% would be enough price falls below this level. Of course, you start from the assumption that this bull run will inflate the price of at least x3 or x5 from the present, and that the absolute bottom will not be below $50k - but these are just speculations, no one can say for sure that the past will not happen again.

Regardless of the extremely positive trend, there is always the possibility of some bad event that could shake all markets (example of declaring a pandemic = BTC 50% down), and BTC is still reacting to such events.
7639  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "COIN"- Coinbase IPO- Opens today- Thoughts? on: April 15, 2021, 11:05:11 AM
I had no doubt that this news will have a positive effect, but some seemed to expect the price of BTC to react in a much stronger way than it actually did. In that sense, this news is not as strong as, say, PayPal or Tesla, but at least it helped us finally break the strong resistance that existed at $60k and keep the price above that level.

I’ve never been someone who buys stocks, and so it will be this time around - although I think a company like this has a pretty good chance of continuing to grow in the future. No matter what anyone thought of Coinbase, we can’t escape the facts that say they are currently the largest crypto exchange with around 1 million BTC in their wallets.

We all know how important it is to be your own bank when it comes to crypto, but it will take time for people to understand the difference between a bank and a crypto exchange - until then it is to be hoped that Coinbase will not become the next Mt.Gox.
7640  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ex-CIA Director Proved Bitcoin Use in Illicit or Crime to be disprove on: April 15, 2021, 10:37:36 AM
So the conclusion of this statement in your opinion is valid if the use of bitcoin for illegal things is still not big?

Of course, he didn't discover anything new that we didn't already know, and that is that Bitcoin is not something used by criminals or terrorists. When all the possible data is compared, then fiat is still the king when it comes to illegal activities, and if someone wants to hide something through crypto, then they will use other alternative currencies that have far greater privacy.

I am confused by that, because on the other hand there are groups that agree that bitcoin is often used for crimes, especially terrorism. on the other hand there is this statement, maybe I should look for many sources of reference to see the real facts

And I believe you're not the only one who's confused, because the media always emphasizes that Bitcoin is something that bad guys mostly use - but it's slowly becoming a nonsense story, because according to that, both PayPal and Tesla should also be on the other side of the law if they use Bitcoin. As a result, the focus of the "Bitcoin is bad" story has recently shifted to the environmental impact of mining. You don't have to believe everything you read on the internet, most of the news is mostly speculation and bad journalism.
