The most important thing is that you make up your mind that you just MIGHT lost the money that you are investing/trading. If losing this money won't affect your day-to-day life then Proceed. If you are gonna end up with a hell of a debt then Quit.
At the end of the day - it's your money. Your Winning or Losing won't affect us.

Just came across a reddit post which also mentioned this. To be honest, those who are advocating against btc are themselves crooked scammers. They hate btc but support the banking system lol.
These are vested interests.

BTC - proven record of value appreciation over a decade
Fiat - Also proven record of value depreciation over a few centuries
Choose your poison wisely!

Paypal's adoption of btc shows how easy it is to see through the privacy veil of bitcoin. More power to privacy coins like XMR!

The golden words in cryptos are
"Never sell 100% of your positions"
FOMO is real. 10 years in the past BTC was worth pennies. Today around $13k. I really hope to see where it all stands 10 years down the lane.
The growth is real. The greed is real. Mistakes can cost you fortunes.

Sorry to hear about your loss.
But I'm happy to see how bitcoin saved your day. Cards can be blocked but cash in hand can be robbed. BTC on the blockchain cannot be touched unless we are stupid. lol

This is what happens when you are porn addicted for too long. Your preferences change. I suggest you abstain from watching porn. Check out yourbrainonporn website

Your demo is down. Could you give us a working demo of what exactly we would be buying?

Yes, you know the private key right?
And why can't I generate a similar address using a random vanity gen?

The screens look impressive. How much is the wager amount and the winner pot?

To summarize:
Wallet - Electrum - Being used on VM with linux
Mnemonic - Stored on password manager && G Drive (encrypted)
Funds lost a few hours before OP accessing the wallet.
The points of failure that I can see are either your VM is rigged or Your password manager is compromised.
Kindly add any other details necessary.

Honestly corporations have already made BTC into a privacy nightmare. Given their grand entry and adoption of crypto now will only make privacy a myth. More power to Monero like coins.

These charities will get into hell lotsa trouble in case they accept donations from these hackers. Iff the hackers wanted to donate they could have just handed over cash anonymously. Why the drama?  ? |

Do not mess with your hard disk now or write anything to it now. Sometime it is still possible to recover formatted data from a disk. Waiting to see what others have to say on this.

I intend to use the HW with Electrum and MyMonero/Moneroju. MyMonero is not compatible with hardware wallets, as far as I am aware. For a desktop wallet you can use with a hardware wallet, you'll need to use the official Monero GUI wallet: https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/#windowsMoneroJu supports Ledger devices. Yeah, looks like I've missed the promo sale. Ledger frequently email out discount codes to previous customers to share with their friends, usually in the region of around 10-20%. You can usually find people handing out spare codes on the Ledger subreddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/. Alternatively, if you can wait a couple of months, the last two years Ledger have had a Black Friday sale. Last year it was 30% off, the year before that 50% off. But in all honestly, I've been researching this Ledger vs Trezor topic all day. I still haven't figured out which one is better. First I was inclined towards Ledgers but then after learning that the Secure element part is not open-source - I've switched my opinion to Trezor. Then again after learning about the hardware vulnerabilities in Trezor (which are said to be mitigated via firmware updates) - I'm kinda lost in my way. How do big Hodlers store their coins? Am I being paranoid? |

From what I've read online - Ledger is partially closed-source and a bit difficult to use in terms of usability like upgrading firmware and reinstalling apps, installing/uninstalling apps, low memory etc It is partially closed source, but most of it isn't. The firmware upgrade process has been simplified to the maximum. In the past you needed to connect, disconnect, and reconnect the cable again while holding a combination of buttons. They abandoned that and now you connect the device, click the download button, confirm that a serial code on your device matches with what is displayed on the screen and you are ready to go. Installing/reinstalling apps is a 1-click process, completely beginner-friendly. Since you intend to use it for Bitcoin and Monero only, the older and cheaper Nano S is good enough. You will have enough memory for a 3rd/4th app even after those 2 are installed. But, if in the future you want to keep 50 different coins on it, you can always uninstall one to install another one in its place. It doesn't affect your holdings in any way. You just missed a Ledger Nano S/X promotion where it was possible to get a 20% discount on your products. It expired yesterday. If you decide to buy one of these, Ledger often gives discounts on their social media. Sometimes it pays to wait a bit. This is indeed a relief to my eyes. Yeah, looks like I've missed the promo sale. But it's good that I've discussed my queries here and learnt a lot of things I was unaware of. |

You need to use Ledger Live to update the firmware on your device, and also to install and uninstall different coin apps. In terms of actually sending and receiving funds, you don't have to use Ledger Live at all (and in fact, I would recommend not using it since it is a privacy risk and has inferior functionality to other wallets). Ledger devices can be used with a variety of bitcoin wallets such as Electrum as discussed above, and also can be used with Monero's GUI wallet.
I will make a note of this point. I intend to use the HW with Electrum and MyMonero/Moneroju. Thanks again for helping me out. |

Edit: if you get Ledger, I advise you don't use it with the ledger wallet app, which is quite crappy; just get Electrum (and verify it) and use it with your HW.
Thank you for the inputs. I was of the opinion that I have to use Ledger wallet app on PC if I need to send/receive funds. So, once I get the Ledger - can I just start using it with Electrum? Do I need to depend on the Ledger PC app for any updates or anything like that? |
