841  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: OneKey Hardware Wallet HACKED! on: February 13, 2023, 07:10:58 PM
and for this job they received $10,000 bug bounty reward from OneKey.
Based on what I'm seeing under the "Bug Severity and Bounties" part of OneKey's program, I believe it means they were dealing with more than a single bug [perhaps we're not seeing the whole picture]!

but it's a good reminder to everyone, don't blindly trust any device just because it is open source and it has secure element.
Don't trust, verify.
You have a point, but the main issue is the fact that an average joe like me, doesn't have the necessary skills & knowledge to deal with such cases [unfortunately].
842  Other / Archival / Re: [BIG LIST] Crypto Debit Cards on: February 13, 2023, 04:30:49 PM
Bit2Me [a cryptocurrency exchange in Spain] launched a crypto debit card recently:
- It's worth noting that "in the first stage, the physical card will be available within the Spanish territory only [this limit doesn't extend to their virtual card]", but there's also this: In which countries is Bit2Me Card available? [I'm a bit confused if it's still in the first stage or not]

  • Up to 9% Cashback
  • It supports "BTC, ETH, ADA, XRP, SOL, DOT, USDT and B2M [their native token]"
  • No maintenance fee
  • Daily limit of up to €2,500 and a monthly limit of up to €20,000 (for the other costs and limits, refer to "this page")

Note: My post shouldn't be taken as a vouch!
843  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: List of useful Bitcoin block explorers on: February 13, 2023, 01:39:10 PM
Small update:
  • It seems that "CoinMarketCap explorer" no longer supports Bitcoin [the same goes for Ethereum and Litecoin]!
  • Learnmeabitcoin explorer is currently "2,476 blocks behind" and none of the "developer's accounts" have any kind of activity in the past month [I hope he's fine].
  • Localbitcoinschain explorer is currently unavailable.
  • I just noticed that the "onion link of Blockstream" is the same as the V2 address of "Deep web explorers" and since it's no longer supported, I think we should remove them as well.

- They're claiming that they're "holding user assets in bankruptcy-remote accounts and it comes with digital asset insurance", but I couldn't find any useful information about the insured part.
845  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2023-02-11] Kazakhstan Law Limiting Crypto Miners’ Consumption of Electricity.. on: February 12, 2023, 04:15:15 PM
So the law is "once again" getting tighter for miners! I feel bad for those who relocated their mining operations to Kazakhstan [especially for those who came from China]... The way I see it, If they continue down that path, this particular sector will cease to exist in a couple of years' time [except for those who are using renewable energy].
846  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: New HW wallet announced: COLDCARD Q1 on: February 12, 2023, 10:52:53 AM
That annoys the crap out of me. You are taking pre-orders and have not finalized the design.

At this point if you are selling me something with published specs I should get what you said.

I don't care if it *might* even be better. Perhaps I wanted that SE for some reason.
I think I chose the wrong set of words to portray the situation yesterday [my bad]... They might add "another" SE [from a different brand] on top of the existing ones that are present in Mk4, so it might end up having three SEs, but I also agree that they should've finalized the design first.
- They also mentioned the same thing (three SEs) "is also part of the process for Mk5".

with a larger screen
In addition to that, it comes with a higher resolution and a colored screen.


It's certainly not pocketable.
Personally, I think this is one of its advantages.

NFC communication is my biggest worry
"Behind the batteries, there are two little cutouts to the PCB and by scraping the one that's for NFC [the other one is for USB data], it permanently disables it [6:53]".

I like that we have dual sd cards but what would be the use of having 2 sd cards in the device at the same time?
  • Dual slots means you can keep unsigned and signed transactions on different cards. Copying files and keeping dual backups is easier now.

Pero ako, hanggang ngayon di pa rin registered at antay pa rin sa tawag para sa mga postpaid users.
If Globe postpaid or platinum user ka, may napadala na silang text asking for confirmations at kailangan daw mag text ng “SIMREG” sa 8080 para mafinalize yung registration mo.

Pero pati si Google nagulohan sa tamang deadline. Cheesy

Naguguluhan din ako Cheesy Mukhang June 27, 2023 was the original deadline, pero iniba nila ito [may chance pa na maextend ito]: DICT urged to revert SIM card registration deadline to June
849  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Trezor CoinJoin Testing on: February 09, 2023, 08:54:03 PM
It sucks that Trezor Model One is not enough for CoinJoin, but I would like to see explanation why we can't use Model One.
The only thing that I could find by browsing their repo was the following issue that implied having conflicts with something:


but I wouldn't mind if they release Trezor model Two with small upgrades.
Based on this "pull request", I think their upcoming model that "I mentioned in the past" might actually be the improved version of Model One.
850  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Safepal hardware wallet review and opinions on: February 08, 2023, 01:46:42 PM
About modifying the safepal battery, it seems doable.
~Snipped~
this makes it possible to replace the safepal battery with another battery of the same type.
It's a good thing that SafePal users can easily find a replacement for their faulty batteries but technically, this doesn't count as a modification that allows other types of batteries to power S1.

this would be better than waiting for a refund (for new users) which of course would take quite a long time.
I'm not sure if you were referring to newcomers to this field or new S1 users who might have the basic knowledge and tools to pry it open, but for both cases, I don't think it's a good idea [unless it's the last resort]:
  • e.g. former would destroy something while the latter would void the warranty!
851  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Bitcoin Island Retreat - Sasama ba kayo? on: February 08, 2023, 12:38:09 PM
If ever man nasa boracay ako sa mga panahong ito hindi din ako aattend, siguro sa labas nalang sisilip silip kung sino mga kilalang aattend. Baka may makita akong sikat haha edi nakapag papicture pa  Grin.
Hindi mo na kailangan sumilip, dahil inupdate na nila ang "page na ito" at sinama na nila yung mga speakers Tongue

Yun nga lang, may presyo and registration fee ito kaya medyo mahal din pero ano yung exclusive fee ng $100? Purely for registration lang ba ito? May kasama na din bang pagkain dito?
Hindi ako sure kung registration fee lang ba ito or hindi, pero it's worth noting na "$180" na yung registration fee ngayon [for locals ₱2,100 lang or roughly $40 (for now)] at itataas nila ulit ito by next week!

Meron ba nakaattend dito and hows the experience?
End of next month pa yung event.

@trading.ctj
I only had a quick glance at its free version and despite seeing that most of the features can only be accessed in the pro version, it looks promising.

  • It'd be nice to have an option to manually type the names of the exchanges we use and have them as an option in the exchange field of the "add trade" page.
    • On the same page, there's a description field under the "additional information" part, and since we can add notes after adding a trade, I don't think there's a need for the description part.
853  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin freelance ecosystem development for fractions of Bitcoin - Bounties site on: February 08, 2023, 07:50:10 AM
I don't know if they use escrow system and block the given btc value from the employer's account till the bounty ends or someone completes the job, can anyone shed some light on this?
From what I'm seeing on their "GitHub repository", it doesn't appear to have any kind of escrow system to temporarily block those rewards:


There is very little activity there unfortunately. Two bounties posted in December 2022 and the one before that dates back to February 2022.
You're right, but I also noticed Nostr has a dedicated page [it's in the footer area] with a lot of unclaimed bounties from the past month.
- I do know it's not the same, but it might be interesting to some users.

854  Other / Meta / Re: Stake your Bitcoin address here on: February 07, 2023, 07:47:18 PM
with which program can I do it? I use it from android so I need a program or rather an easy-to-use app
a howto that explains how to do it in an easy way would also be nice, bad luck I'll do it as soon as I learn! Smiley
There's an old thread [it's no longer being maintained due to the inactivity of its OP] that's still partially valid: How to sign a message?!
- From which android app you took the above address (perhaps it also has this kind of feature and it's just hidden under the advanced tools or something like that)?
855  Other / Meta / Re: Report plagiarism (copy/paste) here. Mods: please give temp or permban as needed on: February 06, 2023, 06:04:22 PM
There is a thing called self-plagiarism. I'm not sure how the forum moderators feel about it, though.
As long as they're not spamming the same content/post in various places [it's against rule #12], they should be fine:


Found another user [Goria77] that plagiarized @dkbit98's response to one of my posts [in the same thread]:

  • Copy:
    They probably loaded up with microchips when they were available for cheaper prices, and chip shortage is not so severe as it was few months ago or last year,
    than they increased device prices a lot after that, so now they can afford to offer bigger discounts.
    As much as I appreciate was Trezor has done for hardware wallets and overall Bitcoin industry, I wouldn't buy any of their devices now, even with big discounts.
    I would still use them if I receive them for free, but I think there are better options on the market right now.

Well, they finally refunded me, so perhaps they're not scamsters.
I'm glad you finally got what's yours, but considering how much time it took, it's still a bit strange they didn't process the exchange and give you the cash! Did you ask for a refund or that was the only way?
857  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Coins.ph Official Thread on: February 06, 2023, 02:04:41 PM
bigla na lang nilang binabaan yung limit ng account ko at nag request sila ng updated na KYC.
~Snipped~
thinking back wala naman akong maisip na dahilan kung bakit nila bigla ibaba yung limit ng account ko, lagi ko naman ginagamit at as far as I know wala naman akong suspicious transaction na ginawa.
May possibility na expired na yung nasubmit mong documents kaya nanghihingi sila ng panibagong documents: Why do I need to update my information with Coins?

Not sure how many of you access coins.ph from a PC but they are now redirecting logins to pro.coins.ph.
~Snipped~
So its literally impossible to access your wallet from their website now and they insist you login through the app.
There's a workaround [an android emulator] for accessing their e-wallet services on a PC, but it's quite risky if you're keeping a lot of funds with them!

Just finished checking the source behind that tweet and it appears that it's actually for "cryptocurrencies"... For those who are interested in seeing the ranks for the remaining 133 countries [with sufficient data], there's an interactive map in the following link: The 2022 Global Crypto Adoption Index
Note: Their methodology isn't the same as the previous two years.

Thank you very much @SFR10 for your additional input with very easy to understand steps for those who want to apply this method in the app.
Can I add a picture to those steps?
If you can, maybe tomorrow I will add it.
You're very welcome... Sure, but I forgot to mention something so please insert a sub-bullet for #5: There are three ways to get the 256 bits [coin flip, dice and icosahedron] and if you don't provide enough entropy, it'd use its RNG to get the remaining bytes for you.

I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't participate [my plan was to reveal my votes in the last few days of the event to minimize its influence on others, but for some reason, I forgot], but I'd still like to thank icopress, GazetaBitcoin, Cyrus [Cryptios], Sorsis [Betnomi] and everyone who voted/participated for forming this year's colorful event Smiley

I would appreciate it if the winners would post their bitcoin addresses here.
