Weird... Are you sure that hardware wallet is $12 price? The price shows $59 in my side?

The design looks the same as ledger nano S. So I think this is another clone version of ledger nano.

I can't trust blockchain.com as a wallet to hold a large amount of bitcoin because it's an online web wallet also I don't want to give my important ID's to them because anytime they can use my documents from other activity or sell my documents in the black market and use it in illegal activity. That is why it's not safe to give your real identity online. So they are just using it to take advantage of asking for KYC to get unique customers.

And they just want to make sure that the claimers or customers are unique just like Raja_MBZ said "people might abuse the giveaways by simply making multiple accounts" which is easy to do.

$125m is a really big amount of money and I don't believe that they can give away such a big amount maybe it is just a marketing strategy so that more people will attract and join.

I tried to check the website looking for the owner's details or CEO and developers but it seems the site still under development because they only have the front page, social and contact and the domain registrar is registered on China.

I don't find any more details about the wallet so for me this it's not safe if you are planning to buy this wallet.

According to Reddit from here Orasaifu Another Smart Credit
The company is claiming to be US-based just to enhance their legitimacy which is not.

So like the other said go for well-known hardware wallet for safety purposes.

The last time that I use it last year march and I haven't experienced any issue yet or facing any problem using bought accounts but before I use them I change my IP first to UK IP to be able to use them.

I just used their cards to take advantage of getting $100 bing ads coupon and AdWords coupon because you can generate 10 unique cards per month but right now I stop using it because Bing and AdWords never accept this type of card last year.

For safety, I think it is better to send your bitcoin from bitcoin.com to your new wallet(like electrum) just make sure that you have the seeds backup and I think better to choose recommended transaction fee from your wallet because if you pay 1 sat/byte the process may slow and the confirmation may longer to confirm.
You can use this site https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ to find which fee you must use.

For Electrum to ledger nano s you can follow the guide from the link given by Theb after you setup your ledger nano you can directly send your bitcoin from bitcoin.com wallet to your electrum wallet(connected with hardware wallet)

It should be safe compared to import your seed from bitcoin.com wallet to electrum.

You don't need to deal with someone here there are many trusted website that you can buy bitcoin with money transfer like MoneyGram.

Take a look at this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=405208.0

As you can see they are accepting MoneyGram and you can exchange your money into bitcoin and the good part of that it is one of the top trusted on perfectmoney exchanger list https://perfectmoney.is/business-partners.html

You can also find other exchanges from the exchanger list above that accept MoneyGram but make sure that you choose a exchange site with high trust score because they are well-known and trusted.

Here is another list of Lightning Network wallet http://lightningnetworkstores.com/wallets

You can also try the zap wallet check their github here https://github.com/LN-Zap/zap-iOS and check their website from here zap.jackmallers.com


Anyway, it seems that lightning network wallets are still in a beta test I don't know if what wallet is safe to use.

I used Revolut before but not created by me, I bought the account from a seller in the marketing forum before. I never have experienced to register from their app since they only support EU countries.

There are few countries are supported according to their help section from here https://www.revolut.com/what-countries-are-supported/

Are you sure that they are not taking any fees? Look at their coinpayments pricing from here https://www.coinpayments.net/help-fees

Almost all 3rd party crypto payment gateways have fees there is no free except for payment gateway from our bitcoin clients like electrum through RPC.

However, the fees are not as big as fees from PayPal or other USD payment gateways.

I'm using Coinpayments in my one of my woocommerce website but it still underdevelop so I don't know if how safe they are.

The site is newly registered as of 2019 it's obvious that this site is a scam.
Look at the details below.



The domain info is GDPR Masked or Data Masking. They hiding their contact info and original location which obvious that the owner is planning to scam.

Can you also share with us the email they use or received from the fake airdrop?

So that we can block this email from our email.

Do you guys see the export wallet option from the menu? and the sign message feature?

It seems that they remove this option? Or they forgot these features?

I tried the wallet it seems fine but when I resynchronize the wallet it hangs a little bit but it's fine. It looks the same as mobile wallet but some of the other features are gone.

There is something blocking your electrum that is why it keeps synchronizing or the circle shows red.

If you are not using VPN it might be a DNS issue or maybe your antivirus blocking your electrum wallet.

Change your DNS first with Google or OpenDNS

Google DNS
- 8.8.8.8
- 8.8.4.4

OpenDNS
- 208.67.222.222
- 208.67.220.220

after changing DNS reboot your router and ISP. If still doesn't work

Try to other PC and install the latest electrum wallet then restore your wallet again. I hope this time it will work.

It mostly falls positive but if you feel that this is not safe you can use the low version of electrum like 3.0.6 portable version

I used this portable version because the higher version and installer of electrum shows more warning signs from VirusTotal compared to new version.

Take a look at this result for electrum portable 3.0.6 https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/c04ca855f94533b2303cc5415604585b294c45a82fb85f0647d9f336b8901cb2/detection

Well, not all users will prefer Trezor as the best hardware wallet because Trezor wallet is hackable but they already fixed this issue so it is safe to use as of now but not 99% safe.

The best hardware wallet for me is Ledger Nano S never heard any issue about this wallet until now and I heard just now about their new Ledger Nano X which has new feature but I don't know how safe it is compared to Nano S.


I prefer to use USB compared to use a Bluetooth because I heard that you can receive a virus like "Airborne virus" even the device Bluetooth is off if your phone Bluetooth is on and the source of the virus is from other phones with Bluetooth off you can still receive a virus. I experienced this before with Nokia n70 and my nokia 6600. So I believe that Bluetooth is not a good interface for a crypto wallet.

I used revolut before and use their cards for Bing ads and AdWords before but I never heard that they support crypto.

Anyway, it seems that this is already been discussed here before look at this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4871890

This is good for those who are looking for a prepaid card that accepts crypto and the good thing is that you can withdraw your PayPal directly to your revolut account and then you can exchange it into crypto.

You can only find the mac address if you can access the miner. Look at the image below.



You can find the miner's IP just shut down or disconnect the other miner and then go to dashboard>network>settings> change protocol to static and then change the IP to the higher range after that connect the other miners again.

Another way is make them all static and edit the IPs one by one just make sure that there is no other miner has the same IP.

So you mean you are an old customer of WEX which is a scammer? It seems that you are planning to do the same as the WEX?
You are promoting it without privacy policy which is very important for the customers and without proper structure and the site don't have a unique favicon?

So how do you think could they trust this site?

I think it might be better if you fix your site first from website structure and to privacy policy and build trust here in the forum because for me I don't trust the site without them.

Have you tried to factory reset the miner? If not, you can follow this guide from here 3 ways to restore factory the s9 miner.

After that set the fan speed to high speed you can find the fan speed in secret menu if you don't know how to do this you can follow the guide from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2690140.0  

If the above solution doesn't work you can post the kernel logs here so that we can easily spot the problem. You can find the kernel logs from the miner dashboard> system >kernel logs. Then paste it here or in http://pastebin.com/

Let me ask if the quoted from the OP is it in Electrum X python result? Where did you copy this logs?

Also, let me ask if you are using this electrum server from here https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server ? upgrade to electrum X might solve this issue.

Have you tried to refresh or reload the wallet by using the refresh button from the top right of the screen?

The button looks like this


then wait for few minutes to refresh the wallet.

If still doesn't work try to reboot your phone and internet. It sometimes a DNS issue that is why the balance doesn't sync properly and sometimes it's a server issue. You just need to wait for their response regarding this if you still having this issue.
