If I understood correctly, both releases are based on the same Ian Coleman tool. The difference between them is that MrFlay's version performs a checksum calculation, yours doesn't. Anything else?

Has anyone used the Electrum Seed Tester by MrFlay and checked its code that it doesn't do something it's not supposed to?

If this indeed occurred, I could almost guarantee that it was due to a hardware-modified hardware wallet, not necessarily a software thing.
I was curious about it myself, so I decided to look into it. It was indeed a software-related vulnerability, and not something to do with a modified hardware device.

They explain in the FAQ in this report that the client's application has to be compromised. You would have to be tricked into downloading a fake Ledger app. It really didn't make much sense for an attacker to play around with this thing because he can't steal any money. All he can do is make you pay much higher mining fees and he doesn't benefit from that.

@Bitinity
Adding a new option to the poll at this stage wouldn't make sense because many users who wanted to vote have already voted. Maybe the results would have been different if that option was there from the start. I also don't think those provably fair slot games are popular among players. I can't remember ever reading something about them and I can't even name a provably fair slot without researching first. Therefore, I feel like it's better to leave it as it is.

Another thing I seek is feature-buy because sometimes it is boring to chase free spins and better go directly buy them.
The free spins buy feature is interesting. I wanted to use it on the Hotline 2 slot the other day. I had some money on a casino but placed it on a sports bet instead trying to improve my balance. I ended up losing it.

Which slots with buy features are worth it in your opinion?

If the Stake team doesn't mind that you use a VPN, then you have nothing to worry about and you can continue using one. But are you sure that they would allow you to play a slot game with a VPN because your original territory is banned by the operator? Have you asked them specifically about this?

It's one thing to use a VPN to gamble and mask your identity and whereabouts.
It's different if you are cheating the game operator by connecting from a different IP address.

If I were you, I would ask the customer support or the owner (if you know him) if what you are doing is OK, so that you don't run into problems if you win big money one day and suddenly questions are being asked who you are and where you are from.

I briefly glanced at your new sports betting feature and tried it out with a couple of small bets.

The bets got accepted instantly after clicking on the 'Place Bet' button. I am positively surprised with the speed, but was wondering are the bets accepted that quickly for bigger amounts as well? Let's say $100 per bet slip?

Why are there no Asian handicap markets for football? I feel like AH betting are fundamental parts of football betting. Do you plan to introduce it later?

I agree we need more emojis or at least an update in the current emojis because they look outdated and too simple right now.
Outdated compared to the brand new SMF forum software from 2006-2009? Call me old-fashioned, but I see no reason to change something that works. I would rather see more topics where I go wow, what an unbelievable post, rather than having this place turned into a smiley fest. Mobile compatibility is the first thing I would focus on. There is a problem that needs some fixing even though many users say they don't mind browsing the forum from their smartphone, but the experience is really bad.

Who cares about smileys Roll Eyes (see?)

The only known way you can lose funds using a hardware wallet using a malware-infested device, is when the device your using has a clipboard hijacker whereas you actually send the funds to the hacker's wallet address; but this should be easily preventable if you double check the address recipient on your hardware wallet when making the transaction.
There was a vulnerability discovered a while back that allowed an attacker (don't ask me how) to increase the transaction fees for bitcoin transactions involving segwit inputs. Apparently, the user wasn't aware of the fee increase. However, that 'bug' couldn't lead to funds being stolen or sent to a different address. It has also been fixed in the meantime.    

Yes, we see a lot of hacking complaints on the Ledger and Trezor subreddit and other communities, but they're because of ignorance and carelessness of the hardware wallet user, not the fault of the hardware wallet(or the manufacturer) itself.
In 99% of such cases it's the fault of the user who downloaded a fake, malware-infected software, got phished by entering his seed somewhere, or had his seed stolen from his email, Google drive or some other online service. And those people accuse the hardware wallet creators for the problems they themselves created.   
8630  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Feature suggestion. JavaScript offline recovery tool on: June 11, 2021, 07:34:42 AM
I had tried it in the past and you can actually recover legacy addresses generated by electrum in Iancoleman.
I bookmarked HCPs post because it might come in handy sometimes. Thanks for suggesting it!

Why does this method only work with legacy addresses, and can't a similar modification be made for native segwit addresses as well?
Is there a different tool that could be used for for native segwit addresses?
8631  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Restoring Electrum wallet with hardware device on: June 11, 2021, 07:21:38 AM
I didn't like the word "restore" that was used in the OP because I thought he was actually trying to restore a wallet from its seed in Electrum. You aren't restoring your wallet. You are just using Electrum as the software to handle your transactions. Electrum never has access to your seed or private keys, hence nothing was "restored".

The wallet name doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is adjusting the derivation path when creating your Electrum wallet. I assume Trezor uses the same paths as Ledger. So, if your first native segwit wallet is m/84'/0'/0', that's the path you have to use in Electrum. If you are trying to restore a 2nd or 3rd wallet, the path has to be adjusted to m/84'/0'/1' or m/84'/0'/2'. You can name the wallet file anything you like.

Of course, if you have set up multiple hardware wallets with Electrum, you have to select the correct wallet file for the hardware wallet currently connected to your computer.

UPDATE:

- I added Tower.bet and Wolf.bet to the table in OP.
- I took a look at Bitdouble.io, but I wasn't able to claim the faucet. Clicking on the "claim free coins" button didn't work. Does it work for you guys?
- I checked out the daily rewards on CSGO500/500Play, but I couldn't claim the daily rewards there either. I am getting a message that I need to reach Level 1 to claim the rewards. It seems it's not possible to claim for new account holders. @UserU what are the requirements to reach Level 1?
8633  Other / Meta / Re: Should some Bitcointalk's rules change now? on: June 10, 2021, 01:09:55 PM
The donation page says that Bitcointalk collected its donations at a time when bitcoin wasn't worth anything. To be precise, they used the term "worthless". The page also states that the forum finances its operations from ads and they have a huge reserve of hundreds of bitcoins. The forum doesn't need or expects additional donations. Even if you lowered it to 1 BTC to become Donator or VIP, I doubt many would be interested.  

This topic introducer maybe seeking for an attention or either just posting because he need merit either wants he's rank to increase
That's a bad attempt dude, a very bad attempt...
8634  Economy / Gambling / Re: List Of Crypto Casinos with The Best Faucets on: June 10, 2021, 12:49:40 PM
On top of this using faucets to reach the minimum withdrawal can sometimes backfire on your account as I remember users complaining back then on why their account got locked and casinos exposed them for using the faucets too frequently.
That seems shady. If the rules allow users to claim coins from the casinos every 10 minutes, every hour, X times a day, when the balance is empty, etc., how can they say that the players are abusing the system? The system allows the player to claim it exactly the way the casino set it up to do.  Huh
8635  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much bitcoins was lost permanently? on: June 10, 2021, 09:53:12 AM
Like other users have said, the sole fact that certain coins haven't been moved for 5, 6, or more years, can't be used to argue that those coins are lost or inaccessible. But my guess would be that at least half of the addresses that haven't seen any activity in the last 10 years can be considered out of reach somehow. Bitcoin has had several bull runs in the last decade, and it's hard to imagine that so many people didn't cash in at least a little bit.

I do remember reading a Chainalysis report from the beginning of the year where they estimated that at least $100-$200 billion worth of coins are forever lost. That's the value the bitcoin had half a year ago, it's much more now.     
8636  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to sign a message?! on: June 10, 2021, 09:22:25 AM
Okay so as a test I sent 2 transactions to my bitcoin wallet.

One for        0.00011792 BTC to  1Apqmd4bQBaazqvRPA4Si8LzLvGjRaf3bQ (the one I signed already)
Another for  .0.00011828 BTC to  1PMHH5BHtr1WEpesJcBPBZ2FZDdfURkohG (which is address that appeared in the receive after the first transaction)

My wallet showed the sum of both addresses once confirmation was completed.

Then I sent 0.00016200 BTC back to the originating address.

The receiving block chain transaction https://mempool.space/tx/4b941d7b2b0bc274f90d4d8310fbed3e640ffe9a5924389b73a85870b72d7cb9

Shows that most of the BTC came out of the second address (emptied it completely) and 0.00001200 BTC came out of the first address, and I'm assuming carried with it a hefty fee do to the small amount in the transaction of the second address ? (Fee was like 0.00007420 BTC)
The amounts that are being transferred don't affect the total fee that the sender has to pay. The fee is determined by the number of inputs and outputs, type of addresses being used (Segwit or Legacy), and things like 2FA, multisig scripts, etc. That transaction of yours had two inputs. If one of the addresses you initially sent to had enough coins, you could have used only that input and paid less in transaction fees. A transaction of 0.00016200 BTC made up of 2 inputs is more expensive than a 1 BTC transaction that only has 1 input (if the same sat/vbyte fees were used).   

So.. it seems, that the balance in my wallet, is simply the sum of all addresses in the blockchain for which I can 'sign' for with my private key.
Private keys - plural. Each address has a different private key.

a) Consolidate them amount all into one address before sending (which I'm guessing would also save me on tx fees?)
If you consolidate your inputs at a time when the transaction fees are low, you will save money when it's time to move those coins elsewhere since you will only be spending from 1 input. Remember what I said before, the amount of coins you send doesn't affect the mining fees you pay. Inputs and outputs do. 

b) Send signatures for every address in the transaction to prove it was me that sent the money for all of them
(and not just 20 other random people sending small amounts)
Another reason to consolidate and avoid the hassle of multiple signed messages from multiple addresses.
8637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which casinos have IP blocks in place for restricted countries? on: June 10, 2021, 08:42:15 AM
Seem like the IP block not working anymore, I tested with IP from USA & France using VPN still can be opened.
I just did a quick test with a French IP address and the restrictions seem to be still active. Try with another VPN provider or different server. Maybe the site doesn't recognize it as a French IP, but one from an allowed neighboring country. Also check your IP on https://www.myip.com/ or a similar site to make sure it displays it from the correct country.

Here is what I get:


 
8638  Economy / Gambling / Re: List Of Crypto Casinos with The Best Faucets on: June 10, 2021, 08:33:39 AM
I don't know which ones offer faucet now but I was wondering if bitsler coins also qualify for the list? I get some 15k BTSLR coins every ten minutes and there's a contest always going on so technically it's money you just need to have the highest balance among top 25. It's quite complicated and I don't think it qualifies for the list but when I saw JCC tokens, I thought it is worth asking Smiley
You were right about Bitsler. It is possible to claim 25 BTSLR coins every 10 minutes. The maximum is 20 claims in a 12-hour period. I will add that to my list as well with the next update. About those Bitsler coins, can they be exchanged for other crypto or do they have any value outside of the platform?

I think it is irresponsible to let the game take place. Firstly, because other players and the coaching staff could be infected, and secondly, because it is a distortion of competition if some of the players are absent because of the infection.
It shouldn't be any different than what we have seen for the club competitions during this, but also in the previous season. Many teams had to play with multiple players sidelined due to COVID. The results were still valid, it's no different from when you have injured or suspended players. The last two years were a huge mess in club football, and all you can do is to adapt and rely on the strength of your squad.
