<…> That way you can make individual powerful passwords and keep them in a txt file without putting them in risk.
But having them on a txt file on the actual drive, even on linux, may still encounter the odd malware that you can install through a wallet downloaded from a wrong site. What’s more, even if isolating the computer as much as possible will mitigate risks, there’s still the risk that someone grabs/steals your physical computer, and mounts the linux disk as a secondary device to access the content, gaining access the txt file.
Well, then use a brand new usb flash drive to save it there and use it exclusively with that PC. Downloading anything infected with  malware is user's fault. Hence avoid downloading anything from that computer. And of course, having a genuine licensed antivirus will prevent most of the malwares beign installed.
If someone steals a PC, there is no much you can do about it.

Using an exclusive computer linux  based to access your cryto related website businesses is a great step. Don't download anything from internet, be torrent or sharing-websites like mega. Don't install cracked softwares, nor apps and never connect usb to it.
Use it exclusively for crypto related browsing.

That way you can make individual powerful passwords and keep them in a txt file without putting them in risk.

Hi forum members,
just saw there are any old ant miners, like s5,s6, s9 etc. being sold for $100- $600.
I know they are useless to mine BTC today, but my question is if is it possible to use them to mine any other altcoins?

No , Asic's in question are programmed to mine with SHA256 Algorithm (Mainly BTC). So u can use it to mine any other coin with uses the same algorithm as mining BTC is not profitable .


Ok, would you mind to mention some examples of altcoins to mine with it?

Or a source where I can take a look?

I'd buy second hand GPUs in your local area instead buying from Aliexpress, it should be cheaper and safer

I've compared prices in FB marketplace and Aliexpress and in some cases local are cheaper,  but they are very rare.

The title of your thread is somehow sketchy, maybe you should change it in to "3 ways on how hacker steal bitcoin",
because your title can be possibly thought as a tutorial to hack a bitcoin.
Just my two cents.

Also if you are exploring the internet, don't click any ads or suspicious link that might bring you to another platform or make you download files from unknown source. Some malware are downloadable and can enter you computer when it disguised as a legit software. So be careful on downloading from any links or websites especially if you have no idea what is it about.

With that, they can track all of you information in your computer to hack your bitcoin so be aware with that.
Yes, indeed it's a kind of a clickbait.
So, even if you have the seed phrase and all BTC is still not 100% safe.
