Although I'd question your choice for BCH , the rest of the info is useful.
I did withdraw, I've tried to swap, it looks like I need also BNB for the network fee.
So I need to also get some BNB into the wallet? Does it matter on which chain I transfer BNB to Trust Wallet (on which chain should I transfer for the fees?)

And if I withdraw them into trust wallet, can I exchange them in-wallet into ... something more useful?
Or is there someplace I can exchange those tokens?
I guess that I'm not the only one that doesn't really care about Trust Wallet, nor their token, but don't mind for a small present.

What is the wallet to be used now for waves?
The Chrome extension is not updated for more than 2 years, the topic also not updated for 2 years and the links are not working.

0. Especially if there is more money in that wallet, make sure your computer is malware free. If someone else gets access to your private keys you'll lose your coins.
1. Make a backup copy of the .key file.
2. Open the .key file with notepad and look if the line or lines that don't start with # are something like

5Kb8kLf9zgWQnogidDA76MzPL6TsZZY36hWXMssSzNydYXYB9KF 2014-01-01T18:46:20Z

Where the first part is 52 chars long, then there's a space and a date.
If you have this format, you can easily import. The 52 char strings are the private keys and you can ignore the date.

If it's not, then it's password protected and you have to remember the password, open the file in Multibit then save it without password.
If it's not password protected, you have the private key (or keys, if there are multiple lines).

You can import them easily into Electrum. (make sure you download it from electrum.org and verify it before installing! https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/)
3. In the "Create new wallet" step you choose "import bitcoin addresses or private keys"
4. At next step copy/paste the long strings (private key, no date) into Electrum and prepend them with p2pkh: so it'll look like
p2pkh:5Kb8kLf9zgWQnogidDA76MzPL6TsZZY36hWXMssSzNydYXYB9KF
(this is an example, make sure you use your own private keys)

If there are more private keys in the .key file, do this for all, one private key per line.

Next.next... until you finish all the steps and you are good.

Cum se zice, "Merry Christmas and happy new ATH!"

Craciun Fericit, sanatate, fericire si bunastare, si voua, si la toate persoanele care conteaza pentru voi!

I have a Nano S and it looks almost like an USB stick.
Trezor looks somewhat like the remote control for the garage (?)

The remote controls usually have too many buttons, even those for A/C. Another candidate may be a Gameboy, where actual games can be there to indeed hide the actual use of the device.
Would such device get more users? I kinda doubt it, but it's up to HW producers figure it out if it worth it (if you propose that to them).

So now some devices look somewhat close to existing electronics, while others not at all. If that matters to you, buy accordingly.

Merry Christmas everybody!

I hope that Santa will bring you and your loved ones health, love and prosperity.

There are plenty of places you can look for reviews. (e.g. https://tradingbot.info/ )
Some bots also have trial period. Look of reviews and also use well the trial period.
People will suggest this or that based on their preferences. You'll have to pick yours by what you need.
Don't rush it; research.

Also they usually announce their moves usually long after they actually happened and their orders were (indirectly, as mk4 said) spread over longer period of time at multiple exchanges. So you won't know what period of time to actually check.
 
And you should check the charts for exchanges with much bigger volumes than Bitbay. I suggest one of the Top 3 from here.

This may be of interest for some of GOLD users and traders: Livecoin is in trouble, it looks like they've lost (at least) the control of their servers and "news channels" because of some attack.
I don't know about the user funds. Full story: https://www.coindesk.com/livecoin-crypto-exchange-hack
Maybe GOLD team can spread the news too.

You said that you downloaded Electrum from electrum.org; however, you didn't confirm that you have checked the signature; if you didn't there's a chance you may have been tricked to download from a clone site with similar domain name and (like eIectrum.org or such)

This is the first thing that comes into my mind, but other things may have happened - from malware to false positive...

Any properly configured and used cold storage is safer than any HW in use. That's not about Ledger.
On the other hand a good HW is a good enough mix between security and convenience.


Yup. I am also one of the customers happy enough with their product.


Very nice, I'm happy for you (genuinely). Clearly there aren't many that do this and I think that you are missing or minimizing something: we are not talking about customers that bought clothes, for example. Since their products can be associated with money/wealth, they should have had better safety measures than the usual shops...

That's true. With a stick with Tails on it you can easily set up a cold storage and you are just fine (even safer than a HW actually) and also remain anonymous.

However, some may be associating HW users with wealthy users (which is imho incorrect, but still possible) and can cause physical problems to some Bitcoiners. Whose fault it is? It's the fault of the buyer or the fault of the company that has left the customers database unprotected?

Most of those who are not on the 272k list may not understand how important this is and not care too much since they are not physically affected.
So yes, their reputation was affected, but not that much. Clearly not heavily enough to go bankrupt.

Probably this year's Christmas sales will be better than usual for Trezor, but I don't expect much else happen.

Actually AliExpress doesn't support PayPal for all sellers and all countries. The seller has to have this payment method activated and the list of countries is short.
Since I do buy things from AliExpress now and then I was rather surprised by your "guess". I've looked into their support page it tells it clearly:


I've also found on internet a story about a conflict between AliExpress and PayPal from many years ago, which is the possible cause for PayPal not being widely accepted on AliExpress. I don't know how legit it is, but here's the link.
Since I think that Alibaba and AliExpress have the same ownership (basically more or less the same company) I think that this means that PayPal is out of question for both.


So Bitcoin VISA/Mastercard prepaid/debit cards are still the way to go for OP.

What @pooya87 proposed is the safest and best way imho.
Create a new wallet, you'll benefit of all its features properly and leave behind completely the other wallet.

Just make sure your electrum was taken from the official website and the signature verified, and also, in to avoid waste of money, do this step (and move your coins) when the mempool is not this full.

Basically there's a big chance that even if one pays the ransom, still won't get his files recovered.
So using backups (a 1-2 TB external HDD is not that expensive and may be just what you need for this), avoiding to click every link and installing a good enough antivirus are the first rules.
Torrents can indeed be infected, but on the other hand many download only movies from torrents, hence the torrents rule could be improved in the post made by @TravelMug

MicroStrategy has just done this. And although many are surprised by it I find it normal:
1. It's consistent with the rule to buy more times over longer period of time.
2. It validates the analysis that the bull run (or bubble?) is just at the beginning.

To me it looks like politicians try to hide the fact they didn't do their job properly (the so hated lock down), which will make them now even more set aside.

I am not convinced that the new covid mutation is related to Bitcoin price movement (as said, mutations happen more often than most of us know). Maybe the forced (by EU) lock down is one of the causes.
And possibly the other cause is that there won't be any Brexit deal, despite many people's (futile) hope that politicians will get to their senses.
I'll add some market manipulation to the mix, since some know so well to fructify the news and .. here we are.

I think that's still not the whole data and I fear that more may come out.
I mean... they have "only" my e-mail address although I bought the device.
...and I've checked both files from the archive on github.


Should we make a rule and forward all the mails related to Ledger we receive to Ledger's mail addresses?
Or suing them and asking for financial compensations would make them understand better how big is the fuckup they've made?
