You start to understand.
The point of having BitBox (or any hardware wallet) is to not allow Electrum handle the seed (and private keys) because Electrum stays on a computer connected to the internet, thus unsafe.
As long as you have BitBox correctly set up and connected, Electrum will know that it doesn't have to handle seed/keys/signatures, instead ask BitBox do that job.

"The coins are still on the seed of the BitBox" <- this is not correct, but still a not too bad representation either. The coins are not in a wallet or a seed. They are on the blockchain and anybody can see them as long as he knows the address(es). And that's OK. However, only the person(s) having the private keys (which are created from the seed) can spend the coins. And that's where BitBox helps in a secure manner.

You misunderstood how bitcoin works. The coins are never in a wallet, they are on the network. The wallet only handles the keys (and shows the amounts).
This being said, as long as you have a properly backed up seed and nobody else has access to it, you're good and you'll be able to recover your wallet/addresses/keys. It's preferable to do that with a/another hardware wallet for obvious reasons.

The thing is... that nothing is certain. Not even fiat. And I don't mean the current day's inflation, which is still not huge (but far from small either).
But look at Venezuela and their fiat. Do you really think that something like that (2018-2021) cannot happen to "better" fiat, like EUR or USD? Not now, but maybe in 20 years? Never say never.
That's why keeping some eggs in more baskets is the best... if one can afford that.

1. No matter a wallet is lost or not, the coins will remain on the address they belong to, no matter what. And that's because there are many cases that addresses from very long ago are actually not lost (one example is collectibles / funded Casascius coins). And if bitcoin would implement a way to get those coins, that would be stealing.
2. You say that those addresses can be easily hacked, still, I've didn't hear of any such hack. Do you actually have any proper info that can back this assumption of yours?

I've only seen the first day of pre-season and I've stopped there. I think that the first two races will tell much more than the test would do.
Plus, if Mercedes is so far behind, I kinda doubt Aston Martin would be that close.
I hope that the gaps (overall) are not that big and that we'll see some nice racing. I'm curious if Oscar or Nyck will perform some miracles on the grid; I wish they will

Electrum offers coinjoin? Must be a copy-paste mistake.
Also coinjoin is imho overrated, since the link between coins/inputs is not broken and also the coordinator knows about all the movements.
And, let's not forget: you could have been also adding at least Bitcoin Core to the list. Maybe Sparrow too.

The 2FA part was already said, I won't repeat that.

Bafta!

Concurs incheiat.

Luckily I've made a proper archive of his post history (well, only first page, but it's good enough), it will be available for posterity in his trust feedback.


This is a Copper Member, hence it can post images and has some few more things allowed.
However, you do have a point, I'm not sure what the account owner was expecting...

First of all your wife should be OK with that. Then you have to be aware that the chances you'll ever buy back the exact same items is slim.
This being said, jewelry usually fits in "what you afford to lose" and bitcoin price is indeed expected to rise greatly (with the note that reality may or may not meet the expectations).

I would not do that, but I don't buy too much jewelry either - we don't keep more than what my wife wears - however, if my wife would keep some piece(s) for the memories they bring, I would probably not sell them for Bitcoin.
Still, it's your choice and I wish you best of luck! (which would mean bitcoin price rise greatly; something I do like to see.)

There's lately a "wave" of old accounts that start claiming they're admins and some also send "welcome" PMs to newcomers telling about a so-called forum's wallet (obviously a scam).
So yeah, good catch OP and let's keep our eyes open.

Bitcoin doesn't have gas fee. Bitcoin has transaction fee.

Ethereum and its tokens use gas fee and that's not OP problem.
Even more, if you start confusing people they may end up using wrapped bitcoins on other chains, and that's risky since those are only tokens borrowing bitcoin name (and claiming to be pegged to it's value).

So.. let's stick with the original bitcoin, OK?

The quick answer is: the fee you're paying (counted as sat/vByte)

Transaction confirmation means that it's included by miners in a mined block. The miners will (almost) always include the ones with higher fee, since they want to earn more money.
And with new blocks being mined every ~10 minutes, sometimes, when the network is more busy, a higher fee can get your transaction mined faster.
For a better view you can take a look at: https://mempool.space/

The withdrawals from exchanges go "faster" because the exchanges overpay the fee.

That will have to wait. Now there's the drama about BUSD going down, about Binance going down (I've already seen this movie after FTX, is it a re-run?)...
Now they have ammo to keep buyers worried (and losing time). When they'll get no other "news", then the "abandoning" story is just as good as any other and may worth publlishing

I agree to that.
I would add that it may worth a negative tag for account selling, just in case only his post history gets wiped. (Edit: I've added the tag too)

Yes, it is. And so it is for all communities, no matter the color, religion and whatever stupid and outdated classifications they might use. Ah, and it helps everybody, no matter they have a bank account or not.
And bitcoin offers that same opportunity also for those from outside USA, which seems also somewhat... overlooked.


Indeed, slavery was there for long. Wars between villages, castles, cities, whatever, sooner or later led to slaves.
It doesn't have to be done by bringing people with ships across the ocean to still be slavery.

While CZ clearly cannot be trusted, I think that Binance, even if it may be in a difficult situation, may get lucky. I think that Bitcoin price going up has relieved a lot of pressure from all those doing odd businesses, since now their reserves (most probably fractional) worth more in USD.

BUSD may go down. But it won't drag Binance with it. At least that's what I think.

Thank you for the kind words.
I've fired it up and I have the numbers while syncing (blocks from about half a day) - first image and from when it was quiet - second image.
The data is from both Task Manager and Process Explorer.





As you see while syncing it goes up to 1GB, but when it's cool it's much lower.
Also I'd add that I have in config


which is higher than the default and may have as result some more memory allocated, but honestly I didn't read much into the docs and I may be wrong with the implications.
However, at some point at startup it was showing:

I'll bump this since it would be useful to be read by more people and I also come with something potentially interesting.
It's only partly related to flags - it's more related to the red warning - , but it's a behavior of the forum that may be good to be known.

I mean this:


And for a better context I'll add this topic.

@Upgrade00: if you think that this information doesn't belong here, please PM me to remove this post and I'll do that.

That's correct. I thought that OP has mistaken something.
TryNinja's quote clears it up completely. I didn't know either about this behavior.
