No, this is not true. Electrum isn't safe. Sorry.
First btc i buy in 2011, so if i have same app, ga, 2fa, usb-backup's, knowledge, experience and i lost my coins yesterday just like that from original electrum - something is wrong. And its gone, i have diversification and money managament, but i cant trade now.
Someone steal low ammount, so for me this is paranoid. I read now about it, many people just hacked.
Well, unfortunately you messed up somewhere. I use Electrum almost every day and my coins are intact. Electrum isn't the problem (trust me). You must have: a) downloaded a fake wallet. b) downloaded a malware. c) saved your seed online (where you shouldn't). Or something else. These are the main reasons people get hacked. |

I mean how it even happened? Google scrutiny should be a lot higher here.
That's what happens when Google lets anyone put any app they want on the play store without any review for just $25. Apple at least checks these apps. All we can do is keep looking for these and report as soon as we see something like this. Maybe someone could create a "report fake wallets" megathread or something like this. Then we could just make everybody report it. |

Please how do I locate the newly built forum, just want to be part, thanks for this information, for you to know this, you need a thumb-up but can't do so right now.
The forum will be the same. It will just use a newly made software. Fow now, it is still in development/beta. But you can see how it looks like and test it (maybe to search for bugs) in one of the forums that is using it right now: https://cryptos-currencies.com/ |

Thanks for that tool that'll help but with 168,207 active profiles as per BPIP I can't tell if they will install this script, all of them will come across this topic, how many of them will be caught to that error or how many of them will post long topics. My suggestion is if ever the forum itself can implement it just by giving a warning to how many characters still left just what can we see on our profile when updating our signatures, I guess that's best for all in my opinion.
Yeah, maybe theymos could consider addding this. There is a new forum software that will be released soon, so that's why he's not focusing so much on adding new features to the current forum. My script is just a temporary workaround, but I agree it would be better if that was a native function of the forum. |

I've made a script that does that. If you're interested: Here is my try (in case you are interested). It's a GreaseMonkey/TamperMonkey script. Just paste this in a new script file and whenever you start typing a new post/thread, it will show up "Characters left: X" a little bit under the text area; (X = 64000 - current count) Preview: https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/14/blob12e3077d712dd190.png// ==UserScript==
// @name BitcoinTalk Characters Left
// @version 1
// @include https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=post;*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
function getElementByXpath(path) {
return document.evaluate(path, document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue;
}
countText = document.createElement('span');
countText.setAttribute("id", "countText");
getElementByXpath('/html/body/div[2]/form/table[2]/tbody/tr[2]/td/table').appendChild(countText);
document.getElementsByName('message')[0].onkeyup = function () {
document.getElementById('countText').innerHTML = "<b>Characters left: </b>" + (64000 - this.value.length);
};
P.S: I suck at Js. |

For my own understanding and experience so far, paper wallet is more risk usage, because anytime your device clash or lost from the owner, paper wallet is more difficult to recover, than blockchain wallet.
That's the price you gotta pay if you want to be the true owner of your coins. What happens if Blockchain wallet vanishes? Don't be dependent to other people/services. |

Esse red trust que me fez desanimar demais do fórum aqui.
Quando eu pedi a ele provas, ele me deu block dos PM, ai fui num tópico dele e fiz o mesmo, ele ignorou, ai xinguei, e ele me deu outro red trust kkkkk
É demais pra mim, como uma pessoa dessa pode ter tanto poder no fórum?
Sem querer defender ele/ela (acredite, eu discordo com 80% das coisas que ele/ela está fazendo no fórum ultimamente). Mas, você aparentemente tem uma alt banida no fórum? (supostamente da sua "esposa", coisa que eu não acredito por isso acontecer diretamente e sempre ser a mesma desculpa). E mesmo sendo da sua esposa, você(s) aparentemente estavam trocando fake feedbacks sobre um emprestar 0.5 BTC pro outro (?). Neg trust justificado em minha opinião - pelo menos depois do que se foi descoberto - (sem "double standards" a.k.a ser tendencioso por você ser br, etc - se fosse qualquer outro, eu teria a mesma opinião). E tem sorte de não ter sido banido por ban evasion. |

Man, I have no background in computer science or anything related to that, so most of that article is Greek to me--but I do appreciate the link.
I have not yet set up the Ledger S, but I think I'm going to do it today and may add my NEO onto it. I don't suspect I'll have a problem as long as I can follow the directions. We'll see how it goes. For better or worse, I'm not all that concerned about my coins getting stolen, but I'll be careful about that.
The thing is that you still need physical access to the hardware wallet and a bit of social engineering to "break it". So, in most cases you will be safe as the only way you can actually be affected by this is if the bad guy is with you and you follow his instructions (in this case, he would probably just use the $5 wrench method). I wouldn't worry about this. |

A lot of time has passed since I set up my Nano S but if my memory serves my right I had to check and confirm every single word of my seed and not just a few of them!?
If someone has done the initial setup recently please confirm whether you had to re-enter every single word of your seed or just a few of them?
It only asks for some of your words (e.g #8, #12, #17...) and not all of them. |

Thanks for the text wall, bud. Didn't really read.
Imagine if I went to your house call your family ugly. That wouldn't be cool, huh? So why are you even here if all you want to do is talk shit about Bitcoin?

MarkBTC11 seems a little bit confused, we are talking of privacy here, privacy is not a crime, therefore it's right.
If we can call mixer being part of the mixing industry, we have to understand that there are also illegal mixers and that's those who violated the law, legal mixers serves with the right purpose which is to give us the privacy we want.
What exactly makes a mixer "ilegal"? Which laws can they possibly break? How can we separate a "legal" mixer from an "ilegal" one without tracking the users? Are you saying that people can only mix when they're not buying/selling drugs or doing other shady stuff? |

So an air-gapped computer+printer is best, and then protect the paper + computer from access and fire/water etc. No special stuff beyond that?
I ask because I want to store some keys that don't use BIP39/HD seeds to generate them.
You can also encrypt your paper wallet private-key with a BIP38 password, so anyone getting your paper wallet will also need a password to unlock it. Bitaddress.org does that (check the 'Wallet Details' page). What really matters is WHERE you're generating the paper wallet (so you need a trusted air gapped PC) and how you're printing this information (does your print save a history of what you print?, are you using a trusted address generator?). These are the main things you should focus. |

On a side note, does this really matter when his flags will never get activated since he's not on DT, and even if they are supported by anyone, they can simple by removed from DT?
This already happened all the time in the old trust system.

Pode? Não sei porquê, mas tinha ideia que não podiam mandar PM sequer. É bom saber.  Até onde eu sei não pode não. Tanto que a mensagem diz “banned from posting and send private messages” ou algo do gênero. So se tiver um exploit de responder os PMs pelo e-mail e eles serem enviados. |

PS: Tentei te mandar uma mensagem em privado, mas você bloqueou o recebimento de MPs de Newbies. Poderia me passar um contato de e-mail ou WhatsApp pra conversar mais um pouco a respeito da entrevista e da situação?
No site deles tem esse e-mail na aba "Contato": contato@criptomoedasfacil.comQuanto a opção de não receber MPs de Newbies, você (@Paulo2) pode alterar isso nessa página: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=557798;sa=pmprefsSó marcar a opção "Allow newbies to send you PMs." |

Vish... boa sorte. Pelos prints que eu vi sobre essa treta da MyAlice, o cara é um sociopata e provavelmente só vai inventar coisa (isso se concordar participar da entrevista). To gostando de ver essas "histórias" que você tá buscando escrever sobre. Tava fazendo falta um site bom de jornalismo sobre o mundo das cryptos. |

Have you tried using Purse.io? It is exactly what you are trying to do. A website to buy stuff from Amazon through other person's credits/gift cards (with a discount). |

Isn't the web of bitcoin core supposed to be this? https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/. On the download section, there is windows, IOS, and linux icon below it. So I guess it is correct that " core hasn't released any android wallet version " That means MAC and not iOS (like in the iPhone OS). There is no Bitcoin Core for ANY type of smartphone. Click the button and you will end up here: https://bitcoin.org/en/downloadWhere you can see Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. |
