If my wallet is offline then how am I going to sign and broadcast the a transaction? You said my device should not have an internet connection. We are now moving off topic from the original topic of discussion. Topics like that are better discussed in the Bitcoin Development & Technical Discussion. To quickly go over the process: - Download Electrum on your online device and put it on a USB drive. Place that in your offline PC and install Electrum. - From your offline PC, you need to copy the master public key, paste it on your USB, and import it into Electrum on your online PC. - On your online device, initiate the transaction creation process as you normally would. Once it's created, you can't broadcast it (because you don't have the private keys), but instead you should save it on your USB again. Alternatively you can create a QR code as well. - Bring the saved transaction file back to your offline PC where you need to sign it. - When it's signed, you need to save the new file on USB again. - Plug it in on your online device and broadcast the transaction. Note: You can get your master public key by clicking on Wallet > Information in you Electrum client. The exporting and importing of the transaction files is done through Tools > Load Transaction > From File. Let's not continue with technical discussions in Meta please.

@IKIK You should have read the entire thread before posting. It's all there. It has been explained which members have the ability to change usernames and why. Certain individuals who don't belong to those special groups have had their requests to change their usernames granted, but those are a few individuals and very rare cases.
Good luck.

Aegis is the go-to app nowadays when it comes to 2FA authentification. I am planning to switch phones in a few months as my current one is starting to slow down, and Aegis will be one of the apps on the new one.
Aegis is open-source and allows you to encrypt the stored codes. If someone were to hack you and gain access to your backup, he wouldn't be able to do much with it. With Google Authenticator, the backups are transferred in plain text.

What countries are currently prohibited from playing at Betfury? Some licenses are very determined and specific, if they are based on US law, is it likely that they are prohibited? I'm not from the US, but in many places my country is prohibited, which, I think, doesn't make any sense. I wasn't able to find specific countries mentioned in their Terms of Use. They still need to update their documents specifying the new jurisdictions that have been restricted. But if your country is on the list, you will get a pop-up notification about the restrictions as soon as you visit the site. Of course, you shouldn't be using a VPN to make you real location. Just visit BetFury and see if anything popes up. If you are unsure, ask in the live support.

Theymos has said in the past, that he does not intend to lower the cost of VIP and donator accounts. This means for all intents and purposes, no one else will ever purchase a VIP or donator account from the forum. Theymos has said that he may create additional paid memberships in the future. The Copper Membership account costs about $35, and the cost is periodically adjusted for the price of bitcoin. The price of the Copper membership is now closer to $25. Not sure when and how often this changes. The reason the copper membership fees change is because the forum wants and expects those to be bought. That can't be said for the VIP and Donator tags. theymos knows very well that no one will ever pay those amounts again, and even if he lowered it to 1 BTC each, how many of you would pay $60 grand to get a special tag under your username? And please don't tell me that 1 BTC = 1 BTC. If you want me to believe you, go out and buy a loaf of bread for 1 BTC because that's how much it was worth back in the day. Or pay 10 BTC if you are a true hodler. Where are those receipts? ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Just make sure the image isn't too big. We often see oversized images for no reason. Imgur can resize your images with a click of a button. After you upload it, click on your image, and at the bottom of the window that pops up, you can select the size. In my experience, the "Medium Thumbnail" and "Large Thumbnail" images are usually sufficient.

What is airgapped here? I have few laptops that I use for work. Airgapped in the sense that the laptop can't and shouldn't connect to the Internet anymore. You take a laptop, reinstall its OS, and remove the network card or at least you make sure you never go online with it anymore. You would need a second wallet on an online computer that will go connect to the internet to broadcast your transactions, and a medium like a USB stick to transfer an unsigned transaction > sign it > broadcast it, etc. What could be a danger proof material? A piece of stainless steel plate is a material that will protect your seed from fire or water. Perform a search for "cryptosteel" or "crypto cassette". A make-it-yourself solution like this one is also an option.

...it seems you're very active in the gambling section and that section doesn't have enough merit sources to visit and it might distribute some good posters there. That is true indeed. The Gambling discussions together with the Altcoin sub are the two most spammed parts of this forum. No wonder that many merit sources avoid it like the plague. It's difficult to pick out merit-worthy posts amongst a whole lot of rubbish. But there are good exceptions and they deserve more attention. Just recently I reported such a topic in the Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source thread. I am glad that a few merit sources checked it out and sent some merits to the OP. I will try to find other examples of merit-worthy topics in the gambling boards that deserve some merits, and I can only appeal to other users active there to do the same.

I never got into using the watchlist function on bitcointalk, because I always thought it was much easier to just have a bookmark for a thread I wanted to follow. I find the Watchlist feature very useful when it comes to following new posts in my own threads. If there is a new post, your thread will be bumped to page 1 of your watchlist. Just a simple "CLRL + F Pmalek" will highlight all your threads that contain new posts. That's the usual way I stay informed when someone posts in my threads.

When i first saw this transaction on mempool, it showed estimated time was 3 blocks and 30 minutes. Now l0 minutes later, it shows estimated time is 4 blocks and 40 minutes. Thus its actually taking longer than expected now right? Earlier many hours ago, it seemed transactions were very fast where just doing 10 sat/vbyte would work in just 10 minutes or so? That's why it's just an estimator, you shouldn't rely on it as the absolute truth. The situation with unconfirmed transactions can change rapidly, within 30-40 minutes. The average block time is 10 minutes, but sometimes no blocks are found for up to an hour. Other times, it can happen that we have 3 or more blocks within 10 minutes. If in that timeframe while you are waiting there is a rise in unconfirmed transactions that are willing to pay a higher fee than yours, those who pay less will obviously fall lower on the priority list. That's why you will see things like in your example. A transaction shows an ETA of 3 blocks and 10 minutes later it's 5 blocks. Now the one confusing thing is this. Is the fee rate what that person select in their hardware wallet or electrum or whatever wallet? Such as that 89 that is set as default on nano ledger? Thus you could change that to 5 or 10? There is no such thing as a default Ledger fee rate, what exactly is your question? Then why does 6.2 sat/vB is 2,096 sat ? Is that converting from sat/vb to sat? 2,096 sat is the total fee that will be paid for that transaction. 6.2 sat is the amount the sender is paying per virtual byte. That transaction has a virtual size of 337 virtual Bytes. Multiple the size of the transaction with the fee rate (those 6.2 sat/vByte) to calculate the approximate total fee.

but i checked sportsbet.io also has it. i just go there to bet actually and watch it live on TV. Sportsbet has a separate site for their live streams, do they not? Are you using https://sportbet.one/sports/soccer to watch those streams or can you view them straight from https://sportsbet.io/? I don't remember ever seeing a live stream on their main site. ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

correct ?. does it serve any other purposed if my wallet is lost or stolen ? It serves as another security layer against physical manipulations of Trezor hardware wallet. The link Rath_ shared describes an unfixable bug in the design of Trezor devices. The bug allows an attacker (who knows what he is doing) to extract the seed phrase from a Trezor if he has physical access to it. A strong passphrase or an SD card that stores a secret code are two ways that vulnerability got solved.

Okay so the absolute minimum for sending fee you could send for transaction to work would be 1 sat/vByte right? Transactions below 1 sat/vByte are rejected, yes. Also consider the purging fee (which has now been renamed to "Minimum fee") on https://mempool.space/. If the minimum fee says 2 sats, chances are high that a 1 sat/vByte transaction would be rejected because mempools are limited in size. Also on the mempool site, it seem to estimated how long it would take... i notice most transactions seem to say within one block... even though people who are sending with a 5 sat/vByte fee? Can anyone confirm this now when looking at mempool? That is what i see and am shocked at this. What exactly is shocking to you? Right now, transactions of 4-5 sats are getting included in the next block. I see that low/medium/high priority. It just seems like still some people seem to be sending with only a 5 sat/vbyte fee which surprises me. That's because you are easily surprised, shocked, and afraid all the time. I mean, look at this transaction 8d31b07fcee00ef3490f1a3d097eec6fc25ba36446fbd1cb91e6f30c7095ca5c This person sent 0.10296441 BTC = almost 6000 dollars. They paid a fee of 1,135 sat or $0.66 and got the transaction confirmed in only 12 minutes? Is that correct? Wrong. That transaction paid 5.1 sat/vByte in mining fees. You do understand that the amount you send via the Bitcoin network isn't the factor that determines how much you will pay in fees right? I also thought of something else. Oh, great. I was worried there for a second. Is it possible that if you put a low fee to send on ledger live, it would tell you transaction wouldn't go through and say it needs to be minimum so and so fee? Asking this because a while back when I used electrum to send btc to old nano ledger, I recalled I had to pay minimum so and so fee in order for transaction to even send. Like it didn't even accept me putting a so and so 5 dollar fee... and it had to been minimum double that etc. I assume that if you tried to send with a few lower than 1 sat/vByte, LL would display a notification or error message similar to what Electrum does. Try it and see what it says. Stop thinking in dollar amounts when talking about bitcoin fees. I also checked the other site someone posted. Average sending fee for the day was 20.14. How is it that high? When i looked at the mempool, i don't see many fees even close to that high. What are you on about now? Care to explain with a huge wall of text and bolded sentences?

What would have happened had I put in a nano ledger that had a 0 balance into my laptop once i hit that last step where it ask me to connect and unlock the device? Has anyone tried this though? Each transaction has to be signed with the private keys that are stored in the secure element of your Nano S. If you attempted to spend an UTXO that you can't sign because you have recovered accounts from a wrong seed, obviously it wouldn't work because you don't have the private keys yet. To get the correct signing keys, you would have to restore your accounts with the correct seed. You say ledger live has copy of your master public key for an account you that you have added to it... but what about those you deleted though? Those aren't there anymore though right? Your Ledger still holds the keys for those. You have only deleted the accounts in the interface/portfolio. So you are saying its basically impossible for me to even get to this part then right if I didn't have that amount of btc to send? Like had the seed i restored 6 months ago to this nano ledger... was one of the seeds with a 0 balance... then there would be 0 way it would even display the accept/reject right? You can't spend 10 bitcoin if you only have 1. You can only spend the amount available in that account you call "Segwit 1". <Snip>Then it did... and you said if it was same balances, its the correct seed i restored. This is correct right? Yes, that's still correct. Wouldn't hurt for me to send like 0.05 btc to coinbase now and do it with a small transaction fee? Why, just to check again if you have that amount? How many times are we going to go over the same things over and over again? I see fees now are much lower... so how much sat/vbyte would you recommend? He would recommend that you check https://mempool.space/ or https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC%20(default%20mempool),8h,weight the moment you want to send and enter the fees according to the CURRENT state of the mempool. Those recommendations of 89 or 4 sats/vByte were valid back then, they aren't anymore. Also, even if I do it with a very low fee, the moment i sent it... even if it takes many hours for transaction to confirm, i can always type that transaction number on one of those tx sites to see the transaction and how much confirmations it has right? If the transaction is valid and the fees are above the purging level, you can enter the hash in a blockchain explorer and follow the status of it there. It will be visible in the explorer even before the transaction gets confirmed. It will show status 'unconfirmed'. But for me, I want to make sure that transaction goes through. So once it shows in that site where you can check tranactions, then its confirmed that 0.05 btc is sent? If it says confirmed - it's confirmed. If it says unconfirmed or pending - it isn't.

I recall not long ago, you always need to put at least 10 sat/vbyte? But thats only if you want to make sure if transaction take too long, then you could send a higher fee later on? You can perform an RBF transaction on a 1 sat/vByte the same way you would do it on a 10 or 100 sat/vByte transaction. As long as the RBF feature was ticked when you broadcast the transaction, you'll have that option. That magic number of 10 sat/vByte that you mentioned, that's just the lowest network fees that are needed to accelerate an unconfirmed transaction via the ViaBTC free accelerator service. I heard about that replace by fee term but does that need to be checked in ledger? Is it auto checked? Should you uncheck it? It should be auto-checked by default. Check the status of it yourself when you create a transaction. Under advanced settings in Ledger Live you will see different coin control modes and a tick box to enable RBF transactions. I assume only check it if you want the option to send a higher fee later on if transaction takes too long? Have it ticked always. It doesn't hurt, and it doesn't make your transaction heavier or more expensive when it's on. Consider it a kind of security feature that enables you to bump the fees in case you need a faster confirmation. But, know that you can not use RBF on ledger nano. But, I am not sure if the recent updates support it. True, you can't accelerate your transaction through Ledger Live, but you can have the RBF option enabled and do it via Electrum if needed. Im looking at that mempool site. You want me to look at latest transactions right? Or latest blocks? I assume latest transactions? Just look at the Low/Medium/High priority transaction fees that the site suggests. If you are in a hurry to get a quick confirmation, use the high priority recommendation. If you can afford to wait a little, use the low priority fee.

<Snip> And not to mention the physical confirmation of transactions. No malware, no matter how well-constructed, has yet learned how to physically confirm a transaction sent out with a hardware wallet. With software wallets, that's often the case, as we can see with the various fake Electrum apps that empty the bags of users after installing or inputting the seed.

Don't do that, my brother hid something like that once and we couldn't get it out again... It was just an example to show that there are so many hiding places all around you if you look carefully enough. Scenarios like those that jerry0 considers regarding splitting up the seed in small chunks and storing them in multiple safety deposit boxes in different banks are outrageous. And then, after so many years of asking questions he goes and stores his recovery phrase online...

Stake has made an announcement that they are extending their live streaming services to cover the NBA and MLB for the next two years! All NBA and MLB matches will be streamed live and free of charge for all Stake.com players!
This is a nice additional and I felt like it should be shared here. Hopefully, the NHL will be covered soon as well.

Did most or all of you update to the new firmware yet? Or you all waiting a few weeks before you do it? I got to assume very few people update immediately when there is any firmware update right and just wait a bit to see what others say first? I haven't been offered the update yet, and I am not in a hurry. It doesn't do anything important in terms of security, so I will wait. Also what if you don't update the firmware now and travel and say you won't have access to your seed for at least 6 months or so? You will be arrested and detained by the Ledger Secret Police (the L.S.P) upon your return to your country. When you installed Ledger Live, you gave the company every right to arrest and torture Ledger customers (read the ToS). Usually they don't go that far and all they want to know is why you waited 6 months to perform the update. Thus I heard never good idea to do firmware update without your seed with you. Do you think there will be any concern down the line where there is another firmware update in say few months... then when you do an update 6 months down the line... then you might have issues? I recall years ago people who didn't do any firmware update for years... couldn't do it later on and had that message of device not geniune and firmware way too old. Even if you don't have your seed with you, it's always possible to restore your accounts whenever you get access to your seed. You only need the seed in case your device resets itself and you need to spend money immediately after the upgrade. Only firmware versions 1.1 and 1.2 can't be updated to the newer firmware releases anymore. Everything else can still be updated. The worst case scenario would be that you'd have to update it gradually version by version before you meet the requirements to upgrade to 2.0. That's how things stand now. We don't know what the future holds.
