Got it! I was thinking that the golden rule "If you don't own the private keys to your coins, you don't own them." applies to all wallets.
It still does... it's just that wallets that use "seed words" derive all their private keys from those seed words... so as long as you (and ONLY you) have the "seed words"... you still control the private keys ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Yes, the Seed (your 24 words) can generate all the private keys you need. All the private keys from your ledger wallet are derived from that 24 words. For educational purposes only, go to the website iancoleman.io/bip39 Insert any seed, this one will do it "word word word word word word word word word word word word" (never insert your seed, ofc, as you can lose your funds when you write them in a computer) Scroll down and you will see many Public Address and their respective private keys. This is what your seed generated from ledger can do.

1 week proves nothing. Trading is all about managing risk over long periods of time.
When I first read the thread I thought"well this is a risky bet for TMAN" Because cryptosparks says he can make 700% ROI. Well , even though it is a obvious scam he might have some trading skills. And TMAN if offering his Avatar, signature, betting 1btc, and he is also an "amateur" , not a professional trader , afaik. But then, cryptosparks, with 700% not, is afraid? Is inventing ridiculous excuses like escrow and now "one week is nothing"? This cryptosparks is really a scammer. If he had any trading skills, he would be able to clean his reputation here .

Before you make a decision -- and you can guess by now a lot of us here don't recommend Bitpay -- I urge you to experience both tools yourself. Andreas Antonopoulos shop has btcpay, and then compare to a merch using bitpay. I was looking at Antonopoulos shop and he accepts BTCpay and Coinbase (non custodial multi-currency). I didn't know they had a non custodial option. https://twitter.com/aantonop/status/1051214765001822208I did the integration between Coinbase Commerce (non custodial, multi-currency) and EventBrite myself. LN with BTCPay is definitely on the roadmap next. I'm working on a prototype already. Hope to launch it with my first event in 2019. https://aantonop.com/checkout/ Bitcoin or Lightning Network payments powered by BTCPay Server Lightning Network payments powered by BTCPay Server Ether or Litecoin with Coinbase Commerce (non-custodial)

So how do you ever update anything? You'd need to wait until the update to the update was tested...
I have never seen a new firmware from ledger comes with a beta program. This was clearly a different update, a big one. I decided to wait and I didn't regret ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Sometimes the same firmware version stays for months without any update and no beta program. This is not the case and soon they will release a new update , probably

Electrum claims that their seed generation is better than bip39, so they won't change their eccentric seed . But I see no reason for this, and it only causes confusion (which we already have too much around here). Why are they doing this?
Did you actually read the link that BitCryptex provided above? -snip- They do this at the expense of compatibility with BIP39 wallets... as they consider their method better. Did you actually read what I wrote? "Electrum claims that their seed generation is better" Exactly what you said in the end. I just don't think that their "better" method, used only by them, and only by vanity, at the expenses of community and compatibility problems should be used. They should just be like everyone else, as they are not better than anyone and community accepted bip39 standard, not Electrum standard.

If you don't have enough technical skill then you may use third party API like coinbase (But is not recommended). As far as I knew they doesn't required deposit fees. You may read more about their commerce API, https://commerce.coinbase.com/docs/ If you in case use coinbase API then you should move your fund on Hot or Cold wallet regularly due to security reason. Coinbase is the same as bitpay. Maybe even worse, as you won't even have the privatekeys of your funds and they are strictly regulated, freeze account funds at will and so on It is not a matter of technical knowledge You don't need more technical knowledge to use btcpay. OP came to he right place asking for questions and definitely he shouldn't use neither bitpay or coinbase

. Samourai wallet has some coin controls too. They show you utxo's and allow you to mark some of them unspendable which allows you to choose what outputs you spend from.
I didn't know samourai allow coin control as well. This is exactly what coiniomi does , allows you to mark some inputs as unspendable. This is a must to me, I think every wallet should have this feature. I am going to recommend samourai from now as, as it is better than coiniomi (if you don't need a shitcoin wallet)

With 200mio USD in the Pocket you can create an own new bitfinex...
Nobody serious will ever trade that here. Only New wannabe scammers think thats the amounts played with here.
Ofc Additionally why the hell would someone sell under market price? Someone who is willing to sell 30k btc could just spread along many exchanges and sell over a few months. Much less risky also

I mean posts like following examples when the poster does not bother himself to visit the official website of a gambling website or an ICO/IEO.
That's just bump spam, dumb questions are an easy way to pretend involvement. This is obviously an abuse and should be reported. However, the OP is talking about something else, he even mentioned a question about forum rules: What cryptocurrencies are accepted? Can we bet on champions league matches on your site? What is the price of tokens at ICO? When will ICO end?
Also, assume that there is a discussion about the new bumping system and someone asks what is the new bumping system. Should I answer such a question or I should report it?
I don't agree with this. Reporting legit questions ? This forum is very hard to navigate, specially for newbies. It is not easy to find rules, bumping system and so on. Most of the new users (if they are real users) don't have even an idea what is "bump". Moderators must be cautious not to delete legit posts. This forum is an important tool for bitcoin, and even the dumbest question should be answered correctly, because we are the bitcoin support. If someone doesn't know how to make a transaction, or which fee to use, or he doesn't know what is an address, or what is bump, or whatever he asks, I would answer. The problem comes when a user is abusing to bump a ICO, and this should be reported.

What is a recommended fee / byte? I'm not in any hurry (it doesn't matter if it takes 1h or 12h) Does it matter if I send 0.00001 btc or 1 btc?
No it doesnt but depends on average transaction fee and queue size, it can be stuck forever (until it will be returned to you/dropped from queue because too low fee [48h around]). I use mostly 1 sat byte fees, and it is always a surprise. Sometimes I get confirmed in a few hours (2-3) and sometimes one day. I never waited 48h, but if that's not a problem for the pp, o ser no reason why not to use 1 sat/byte fee, which is the lowest fee possible

As forum may know already, he and some DT users are teaming up against a service from CryptoSparks which I have been using for some months now.
If you use and recommend CryptoSparks, which promisses 794% ROI ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182103.100), you deserve a red tag. This is obviously a SCAM or a Pyramid scheme. whatever it is I don't care, but anyone dealing with it will lose money sooner or later. Red tag well deserved. If someone makes a flag, I will support.

Already confirmed, 16 confirmations by now. Probably a explorer bug? 2-3 Blocks have been mined already but my transaction doesn't seem to confirm.
is there any problem with my transaction ? How to rectify ?
Please tell me
9 sat/byte is too low according to https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/So follow the recommended fee from the above link (The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 36 satoshis/byte) I know that new users get insecure when they see that a transaction does not confirm instantly.. but do you really need 2-3 blocks confirmation? A 9 sat/byte is not a small fee, and a 36 byte fee is very expensive IMO. Unless you really need the money now, there is no problem in waiting. I am used to make transfer with 1sat/byte when I can wait 12hours, or even more than 1 day. There is no risk in doing so, and your bitcoins won't disappear. Especially if you are transferring coins to yourself (which is very common. Form exchanges to my wallet, or from different addresses).

It's a shame it's not easier from a mobile device, but this will still help a lot.
The only mobile wallet with coin control that I know is Coinomi ( https://www.coinomi.com). It is closed source and it is a multicurrency wallet. Not as safe as Electrum, but it allows you to control which inputs you want to spend. Electrum mobile does not support coin control.

Cara, sinceramente, se você tem 20 mil dolares e quer investir em criptomoedas a melhor opção é só uma: Compre 2.5 bitcoins.
Essa opinião é praticamente unanime entre os usuários e investidores em criptomoedas mais experientes.
Esquece essas suas opções aí. Muito risco.
Você pode também comprar os bitcoins ao longo do tempo (embora esteja com um desconto bom agora). Por exemplo, gaste 2000 dolares por mes em bitcoin.

Any of those websites can incorporate with Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Just sell those services, like VPN, and accept Bitcoin as a payment method .
I love to be able to buy services with Bitcoin online.

Eu pessoalmente iria preferir que a Binance vendesse USDT aqui do que criasse um BRT ou algo assim da vida.
Não temos dificuldades em trocar BTC por reais no Brasil. Mas caso pudessemos comprar USDT aqui a partir de reais ou de BTC seria bem vantajoso, até como uma forma de investimento em dólar no curto prazo. Seria bom também pq poderiamos mandar para esse USDT para outras exchanges em outros lugares com facilidade, já um stable coin brl ficaria sempre preso a binance...

Valeu pessoal, parabéns a todos que participaram do concurso de arte. Eu não participei.
Eu virei merit source no lugar do Sabotag3x. Estou usando da melhor forma possível. Vamos participar das discussões e botar os merits pra circular.

Is this application open source?
All bitcoin wallets should be open source.
I will suggest that you add this feature, coin control. Allowing users to chose which input they want to spend. Very few wallets do that in android.
