When using a USB-connected device such as a flash drive, external hard disk, or a hardware wallet, your operating system allows you to safely eject the device before removing it from the USB port. 

When the eject feature is initiated, the system stops any read or write operations potentially running in the background. If such work was to be abruptly interrupted, a possible negative consequence for the device could be data corruption. The chances for that to happen are slim, but they exist.

When we are talking about hardware wallets, they are different from standard USB flash drives because you aren’t copying data from your computer to it and vice versa. However, a connected hardware wallet can also be ejected safely before being physically removed from the USB port.

In this poll, I would like to know, are you safely ejecting your hardware wallets before disconnecting them, or do you just pull them out of your computer?

In all the years of using a hardware wallet, I have to be honest and confess I have ejected it maybe 2 or 3 times. I feel like I should be more careful with it in the future.

Hvala, hvala. Nisam se ni prijavio da postanem merit source već samo dođe jedan dan poruka od šefa da me je postavio za source-a. Pitam ga da li to znači da sam source za svoj lokalni dio foruma, kaže on da nije o tome razmišljao. Dakle, po principu udri gdje stigneš. Gledaću naravno s posebnom pažnjom naše lokalne članove jer nam merita uvijek fali ovdje a postova i kvaliteta imamo.

Dobro si to promašao. Nisam se ni sjetio da na BPIP-u ima evidencija o promjenama u Default Trust-u. Ako nekog zanima, može ovdje pratiti najnovije promjene > https://bpip.org/TrustLog. 

Like the comment underneath your post suggests, I don't want to include casinos that have negative tags for valid violations. Even though the feedback for DuckDice was written back in 2017 and some users who initially posted a negative rating revised their trust to neutral, I still don't want them on the list.

Simpledice doesn't seem that popular on Bitcointalk, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. They aren't negatively tagged, so I will take a look at their offer with the next update of my OP.

A properly secured seed should never come in contact with the internet or be stored digitally. Paul's seed was used on a software wallet, an app that is considered a hot wallet. If his software or computer experiences a breach, gets hacked, or infected with malware, an attacker could get his hands on the private keys like it was mentioned amongst the replies. Whoever has the private keys/seed, owns the money they protect.

Even if such a breach didn't happen, it's better to create new wallets and get a new seed than using the same seed across multiple software. 1 piece of software represents one item that could be attacked. Replicating the same private information across new apps creates 2 or more attack vectors and ways to lose your coins. Compare that with sharing a secret with one person vs sharing the same secret with 3 people. With 3 people knowing what you know, the chances of someone exposing you have increased greatly.

Riddle #9 is solved!

Varaš se da smo dobili "samo" jednog merit source-a. Eto vi sad nagađajte ko bi mogao biti drugi.

A ne smije tako, ja skupio dovoljno merita pa mi ne treba više. To ti je kao u nogometu. Pobjediš, pa odmah razmišljaš kako ćeš pobjeiti narednu utakmicu. Pobjediš i tu, onda dolazi ona poslje nje. A kad osvojiš titulu, onda trebaš pobjeđivati slijedeće godine da je odbraniš i osvojiš neke nove titule. Nešto slično je neki Juventosovac jednom davno rekao. Samo da se ogradim i osiguram.

Not much has changed today. Check out the results when you perform a search for "best bitcoin wallets". This is the top-ranking article: https://www.thebalance.com/best-bitcoin-wallets-4160642.

The best "wallet" according to them is the Coinbase "cryptocurrency exchange".
They recommend that beginners use SoFi which is a brokerage platform. In their explanation about SoFi, they mention that users can't deposit or withdraw from the platform, but it's still something they recommend to new crypto users.

Ovo je objavljeno prije više od mjesec dana pa me čudi da se o tome nije prije pričalo. Nekako nije dobilo dovoljno pažnje. Prvi put čujem za jedan takav plan. A ovaj neki socijalista, Eero, predlaže da se prestane sa korištenjem PoW sustava. Zašto jedonostavno ne predlože zabranu rudarskih postrojenja na ugalj kad im je u interesu dobrobit planete? Dajte ljudima poticaj da koriste manje štetne izvore energije i prije svega jeftinije pa će te vidjeti da i to može. 

Mislio sam da kad te netko doda na svoju trust listu da će se ime tog korisnika pojaviti na LoyceV trust listi u polju ispod "judgement is Trusted by". Ali kod Stalker22 nema Trofe, a ni kod Trofe nema Stalker22.

Evo njihovih lista:

There actually is. You can use a Telegram bot which will send you a new message every time someone mentions your name on the forum or quotes one of your posts. Have a look at [TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+). I don't like Telegram, so I prefer using LoyceV's notification bot. You create your own notifications page that you can save or bookmark. You simply visit that page to check if you have been mentioned or quoted somewhere on the forum. Try it out, it makes on-forum life much easier. 

Let's switch the focus from potential phishing exploits and fake devices back to the recovery phrase. Paul already has a seed. The seed he used in his software wallet. Instead of wasting time in generating and writing down a new seed, why not just recover the wallet with his old seed? The one used with his hot wallet - the software wallet.

Graphics isn't something I give great importance to because I would rather play a game that is not that pleasant on the eyes, but fulfills some other essential requirements. A catchy game needs a high payout potential combined with a low house edge. It should be equally attractive for small-time gamblers who prefer to play with just a few cents as well as highrollers who stake 100s of dollars worth of coins. I like a good soundtrack and quality sound animations, because the game is supposed to arouse all my senses. I find it repulsive when the game sounds like I am playing Pac-Man.       

I lost interest in your post as soon as I saw the words "debunk" and "verifiable truths". I have seen it dozens of times already. I also didn't read the thread you linked to. I am not interested in the quarrels you have with other forum members nor do I take part in dramas and conflicts. If you want to talk Bitcoin, there are appropriate boards for that. Keep me out of stuff that don't concern me. No one forces you to be here if you hate every single aspect of this forum. 

I completely agree with you when it comes to separating funds in cold storage to the coins you use every day. But those everyday coins should (in my opinion) be on a more easily-accessible medium. A mobile wallet that gives quick access to the coins by unlocking it via a PIN or password is easier than carrying a device that you have to connect to your laptop or phone with a cable before you can use it.   

So by removing the original chip, he was able to replace it with the same type of chip that contains an unofficial firmware. If you were to plug that device into your computer and open up the official Ledger Live software, the hardware device wouldn't be able to connect to Ledger servers, download updates, or new firmware releases. That's how you could tell it's fake.

I guess it has to come hand in hand with a fake software and installation instructions that ask the victim to enter their seed into the software. You will have to make multiple mistakes and completely swerve away from everything you learned about setting up a hardware device, storing a seed, and so on.

I still think that will be enough for plenty of people to be tricked into losing their crypto assets. 

I guess polarized sunglasses could be worn to be able to see the screen of someone's Trezor from different angles even with a Privacy Glass Protector. If you have ever looked into the window of a moving car while it's sunny, you would have noticed you can't see inside or you can't recognize the faces. With a good pair of polarized sunglasses, you can.

I can't say that the prices would tempt me to buy either of the products. The whole thing reminds me of the crap Ledger tried to pull with their over-priced hoodies and t-shirts. But, there is a market for everything. I wonder if they are still selling those!?

And then there is this claim:

https://blog.trezor.io/panzerglass-and-privacy-glass-screen-protectors-for-trezor-model-t-c5aaa9fb265f

I would say it's the opposite of natural to carry your hardware wallet with you whenever you leave your home.

Wallet - Check
Keys - Check
Cell Phone - Check
Trezor Model T - Check
Pocket pussy - Check

It depends. Are those couple of bucks all that you will ever store on it? I think most people have plans to increase their crypto stash with time. So even if you start of with owning only $10 worth of bitcoin, it does make sense to purchase a hardware wallet straight away if that amount will increase by another $X amount after every week/paycheck, etc.

I agree with you that it wouldn't make sense storing a tiny amount which is smaller than the value of the device if you aren't going to add more to it. In that case, I would look for a suitable non-custodial and open-source mobile or software wallet depending on which of my devices (PC or phone) I trust more to be secure and malware-free.   

I just took a look at your EURO 2020 offer for the England - Denmark match. I like that you have a wide variety of Asian Handicap markets. Some other platforms I bet on don't have that many.

However, you are missing a lot of interesting markets. For example, the To Qualify market doesn't exist. Many bookies have a Draw No Bet option, Betja is missing that. Things like total team goals, total number of goals per team, home/away team to have a clean sheet are also some things that are missing as well.

I am sure that with time, your offer and userbase will expand.
All the best!

Someone once said that Bitcoin is the first successful use case or application of blockchain technology. It's certainly not going to be the last one. I like that explanation, it makes sense. Saying that Bitcoin is based on or relies on blockchain tech is also correct in my opinion. Such a statement doesn't exclude the importance of math or electricity.

I wasn't planning to because I think most of the threads would probably be outdated and not as relevant today. If people think I should, I can do it. Especially now after theymos added another reserved post in my thread. You are right, there are certainly some interesting discussions that should be mentioned as a historical reference. I will take a look to see what I can find after taking a little break from looking at tables.

There is nothing wrong in using the Lightning Network. You are being mislead by someone or something regarding the double spending issues. The Lightning Network is intended for people who transact with the other party on a more regular basis. It's for multiple transactions, not really the best way to send one transaction and close the channel.

You say you want to buy things. Are you buying your goods from various people and shops, or is if from the same party every time? Multiple parties would require multiple payment channels and multiple on-chain transactions to open and close those gateways. You won't be able to save money in that way.

Someone suggested using Litecoin. That's also an option. Look into USDT on the Tron network or dogecoin as cheap alternatives as well if it doesn't have to be bitcoin.
