Is the reason there is a waves price difference between waves exchange and binance due to the usdt not being exactly one dollar?


Also, does the waves exchange lag when you are going to do trades? 
422  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: 🔷 Waves Tech - a powerful blockchain-agnostic ecosystem on: March 06, 2022, 10:51:16 PM
Can anyone here imagine waves going to ETH levels or is this just not possible anymore?

Look at Michael Saylor and Max Keiser?  These people are beyond rich.


They don't even need to do anything anymore.  I believe they are billionaires.  Why do they even care about any of this?

424  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase Google Authenticator Backup Key Question? on: March 06, 2022, 09:53:25 PM
Okay I understand that.  So because of that, I want to use Raivo OTP.  Does anyone here use this one?


Thing is when I first try to set it up, it ask me


Choose a storage provider that you want to synchronize and backup your tokens to


None (offline)
Personal ICloud



Which one do I choose?  After this, it also ask me for a master password.  Now do I need to enter this master password each time I log in?  Or its something I need to write down as a backup in case something happens to my iphone?


Also if something happens to my iphone after setup, what do i need as the backup?  Will they give me a key to write down and make sure I have that?  Is it that key and also the master password I create so I need both of them?


I want to have a backup where I write it down on paper and not scan a QR code.  Can anyone who uses Raivo OTP answer this?
425  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase Google Authenticator Backup Key Question? on: March 06, 2022, 07:51:35 PM
Oeleo i know you mentioned authy isn't good.  But with gemini for example, that is apparently the only two factor they allow that isn't a yubikey.


For coinbase, I wanted to google authenticator but the issue is the backup requires you to take a picture of the QR code.  I do not like this because I would need to use another iphone to take the picture right?  Could i take the picture with my primary iphone which the google authenticator is installed in?  I have two phones but the other phone is an older iphone and if it has malware or virus, I don't want to risk taking a picture with it.  Or would you say there isn't a risk.


The other issue if even after taking the picture, where do I even store it?  I hear people say make copies of it.  Well that would require a printer and if your device is compromised, aren't you compromising your QR code as well?  Thus its similar to like dont type your seed on a computer or any device and print it out?  Since essentially the QR code is like a seed phrase for a wallet?  Or is it not that extreme?  Because I heard the QR code is basically the backup?  But someone would still need your username/password for coinbase for this?


I wanted to go with Authy for coinbase because it works fine with gemini.


Now do you have any opinion on Raivo OTP?  I believe you mentioned for IOS ... go with Tofu right?  The issue with tofu is I read there isn't a backup key that you can write down on paper and you have to scan a QR code as the backup... is that correct?  If so, I don't like that because you are taking a picture of the QR code and it can be compromised easily right?  I hear people say they print the QR code out or store it on a flash drive.


But with Raivo OTP, I read its open source... but you could actually back it up easily because it gives you a long key to write down and that is your backup?  If that is the case, wouldn't that be the best option for IOS than Tofi?  I see lot of good reviews about Raivo OTP for IOS and many seem to say its the best.

Well most people will be using coinbase on their pc.  Yes you could use coinbase on the iphone but that isn't comfortable.


It would make sense to have google authenticator on your primary phone that you use.


So you do not use coinbase on the pc?  


Is there a way for take a photo of the QR code on my primary phone right now or not?  


Could I find the QR code on coinbase.com on the computer?



Can you still use authy for coinbase or not?  I am reading mixed reviews on this.  What about Tofu?


So you are saying if i set it up again and instead use the authy app or Tofu app to scan the QR code instead of google authenticator, this would work?



How can I use authy with coinbase?


Do I scan the QR code with the authy app as oppose to google authenticator app and that would work?



So as of now, I need to uninstall google authenticator as my two factor authentication and then scan a new QR code but this time scan with Authy?  So that means authy will display a 6 digit code each time when trying to log in coinbase?  Authy is 7 numbers isn't it so how would that work with coinbase?  Who here still uses authy with coinbase?
427  Other / Archival / Re: Complex password is the key to security on: March 05, 2022, 10:27:26 PM
Can someone explain why it takes seconds to brute force say a 7 digit number?  So someone password is say 8090050.  You telling me it would go through each number and then find a match?  Or it would not only find the match but then log in?
428  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase Google Authenticator Backup Key Question? on: March 05, 2022, 10:02:08 PM
I open google authenticator on my iphone.  I click on the three dots, it shows


Edit
Export Accounts
Settings



There is no transfer accounts.  You mean click on Export Accounts?



Aegis is not supported by IOS...



You said


Even you can install google authenticator on many device and all would work appropriately but installing it on two or more devices will not be appropriate and reduce your safety, for security and safety reasons, best to just have the authentication app on a single device which should not be the device you used for your Coinbase account.



I am confused with this.  So you want me to have google authenticator installed only on one device.  Okay.  But I should not have the authenticator app on the device that is used for my coinbase account?  Did you make a mistake with this statement?  I cannot imagine someone who use coinbase and use google authenticator for it... and the google authenticator app they use is on another phone of theirs and not their primary phone?

429  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase Google Authenticator Backup Key Question? on: March 05, 2022, 09:55:55 PM
There is no character code in my coinbase account for me to write down.  If there was, then I would do this as I prefer it this way.


Coinbase seem to only allow me to use google authenticator or Duo and those are the only two options.  I cannot use Aegis because I use IOS.


So what are my options now?  I do not want to take a picture of QR code as the backup because if I do that with my other old iphone, if it has malware, then isn't my QR code at risk as the other person mentioned?  Taking a picture just does not seem safe to me if the device you are taking it with might be compromised now or compromised later on.  My old iphone is a backup iphone I have.  I use my primary iphone to install authy and google authenticator.  Now if coinbase allowed authy, i would do that but they don't support it.


Could I install another two factor authenticator for coinbase and if so, which one?


Also I would prefer the backup to be a code I write down.  With Authy, I created an authenticator backup passphrase which is my password in case something happens to my device.  What other IOS programs allow this with coinbase?


430  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase Google Authenticator Backup Key Question? on: March 05, 2022, 09:06:47 PM
Wait.  You can only take a picture of the QR code as a backup?  There isn't like a long key you need to write down like 68fdsalkjfksajf99sfda977098ambibasd to restore it?


And you cannot take a photo of it with your phone.  You need to use another device to take photo of the QR code?  So if your other device is an old phone and it has malware, then you compromise yourself then?  How is that exactly safe?


So basically anyone that has your QR code has access to your coinbase account?  But they still need your email and password for coinbase right?  



https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/managing-my-account/get-back-into-my-account/restoring-2-factor-authentication-from-a-secret-seed



Isn't there a secret seed one could write down as mentioned in article above?  Or is that meant for coinbase wallet accounts and not coinbase accounts?



431  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Storing Cryptocurrency in Coinbase Vault Vs Hardware Wallet? on: March 05, 2022, 08:20:59 PM
If someone is not confident in keeping their seed phrase safe, then wouldn't coinbase vault probably be the best option then?  Has there been any cases of it being hacked from anyone?


The thing is if you want to get your coins out of the vault, coinbase will make sure they do some strict verification because they move the coins outside the vault again right? 
432  Economy / Exchanges / Coinbase Google Authenticator Backup Key Question? on: March 05, 2022, 08:17:23 PM
So I changed my coinbase account two factor authorization to google authenticator and use it on my iphone.


I had to scan the QR code on coinbase site to the google authenticator app on my iphone and it scanned.  But where is the backup key that I need to write down if something happens to my phone?  Could I install google authenticator on two devices at the same time?  Even if I could do that, I want a way to restore my coinbase for google authenticator.


How do I do this?  I thought there was a long key you need to write down on paper as your backup?  So if anything happens to your phone, you could just enter that long key to restore it... that isn't how it works with google authenticator?  Do you need to write down a backup key for this particular google authenticator on this phone that would restore all accounts?  Or would I need to write down a backup key for each specific site like coinbase?  If so, where is this?
433  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How can I get over clip board malware attack? on: March 05, 2022, 07:10:03 PM
Would a hacker really use their time to create clipboard malware for something like greencoin or bluecoin?  How long would that even take?  So owning certain coins would prevent you from clipboard malware then?


434  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: (Scam Alart) Binance Phishing Email Alert on: March 05, 2022, 06:54:27 PM
What happens if you copy the link and paste it to the web browser but do not enter it?  Does it show the same binance link?  Doing that could not get you malware right?


Now if you click on the link, can you get malware/keylogger on your computer?  If it directs you to a site and you just close it, are you safe?  I heard it has to download a file and you need to open it for you to get malware/keylogger.  But I also heard of links where it would automatically download script to your computer and then you get malware/keylogger?


Can someone here elaborate on this?  I hear lot of mixed opinions on this where most people said clicking on a link won't do anything unless you enter sensitive information in it. 
435  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How can I get over clip board malware attack? on: March 04, 2022, 06:03:30 PM
So is it possible for you to copy and paste a btc address ready to send and the cliipboard malware changes it... but if you copy and paste a btc address to say notepad or address bar on chrome ... and it doesn't change it?


Also what if it looks like a btc address but it has much less characters or more characters?   Could the clipboard malware recognize it such as okay this is over 80 characters long... this is not a btc address?


Also I keep hearing about only btc and eth when it comes to the clip board malware attack.  But what about other coins though?  Imagine you had some coin that is worth little and most people haven't even heard of.  What happens there?
436  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: is this Phishing or not? on: March 04, 2022, 05:50:59 PM
But what if the owner of a site or others who are reputable tells you that the site that is

http


tells you its legit though?  Then no issue right?  But if you visit a site that is http, can you catch malware?  Or you have to still download something and run it in order for malware to activate?
437  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: is this Phishing or not? on: March 04, 2022, 04:04:30 AM
Would posting that site to the virustotal be enough to see if its a fake site?
438  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Non-custodial Wallet App security for long term on: March 04, 2022, 12:39:36 AM
If instead of a hardware wallet, would most agree keeping it in coinbase but coinbase vault would actually be more safer than trustwallet or metamask?
439  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you regret when you miss selling at ATH followed by a correction on: March 04, 2022, 12:37:54 AM
Would you say this only applies to coins that are not the top coins like BTC, ETH etc?  Because those altcoins could easily just go down and never recover?
440  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / How do you differentiate two same hardware wallets? on: March 04, 2022, 12:15:09 AM
Assuming you have two hardware wallets the same one, whether its the nano ledger s or x or trezor, how do you differentiate the two hardware wallets before you enter the pin?


Do you use the same pin or not?  Because if you don't, then when entering the pin, you would get it incorrect because the pin would be for the other hardware wallet and then you only have two pin attempts left.


Do you put a sticker over on it or something?  I do see there seem to be many different colors now with the nano ledger s.
