Recent news again warns that if you have a crypto wallet installed on your phone, and the Apple ID is not yours, but you bought it, then you need to transfer your funds from the iPhone, in order to avoid theft.
I don't think this should be called Apple ID Vulnerability, and that is coming from someone who is not a fan of Apple products at all (read - me). It's stupid to buy different ID account from someone else just because you want to install some app, I think using a VPN would be much better alternative. |

My worries if this team provide a rigged cartridge which all the seed phrase in already on their data base. There’s no way for a normal guy like me that doesn’t have enough understanding on code to check if the cartridge is same to generate seed phrase at all. I don't think they are sending any seed phrases with cartridges, that was not my conclusion after reading all material posted by them. This is first news in public and they started working on GameWallet few months ago, but I am sure I saw that use generates seed phrase with a button. I said that I would prefer to import seed phrase generated offline by myself, and I expect them to release everything as open source... I am not messing around with any closed source wallets anymore. The last thing I remember is, I gave my gameboy to my cousin. If he still has it (chances are slim) then I am going to get it back LOL. I never thought I will have a use of it anymore 🤣
I think Gameboy Pocket would be best as hardware wallet, it's smaller than regular version. We better think about all retro pocket devices we have hidden in boxes... but I saw someone is making The idea is interesting, but looking at provided video and reading their video it seems this wallet only can generate mnemonic phrase. I expect all hardware wallet should transaction signing feature, although i doubt it's possible in this case since GameBoy doesn't seem to have HD camera accessory. Without signing feature, i could just run offline Bitcoin wallet on Linux which utilize /dev/urandom.
Just imagine special cartridge addons that includes build in cheap camera and support for miscroSD cards... Frankenstein GameWallet. I think based on what they said it still under develop and they might add some feature since the old gameboy has link cable they maybe use it to transfer signed and unsigned raw transaction they can convert the link cable to USB adapter using Raspberry Pi Pico.
It's possible and I would like to se that. I think they picked a perfect time to ask support from community, but I doubt they will release anything this year. Anyway, I am folloing this project and I will post any updates... unofficially. |

Although I'd like to recommend people not to send back their device - no matter what - since without open-source firmware, there is no way to tell whether a reset fully erases everything.
That is true, but I would move all funds and double check everything before sending anything back to ledger. Most they can get from returned device would than be only history of transactions, and that is if they are hiding something. This option is only if you want to get money back from ledger, I personally prefer optional destruction and total demolition  |

Actual BL-5C do fit though, right? I will look for one and reply to this if I'm successful.
Yes it fits perfectly. Original Nokia battery BL-5C have slight variations for mobile phones with different size and power between BL-5C, BL-5C A and BL-5C B. Battery capacity is also different: - BL-5C is 970 mAh - BL-5CA is 700 mAh - BL-5CB is 800 mAh This means that BL-5C that is supported by Passport will give a longer battery time and will fit perfectly. |

Disease is officially spreading  After ledger made very unpopular move with their new crap Recover feature, now we have another closed source wallet Safepal planning to do something similar, but they are even worse. In upcoming update they want to connect and backup seed phrase with iCloud and GoogleDrive for waller recovery: In our coming update, we will support the iCloud/GoogleDrive key backup mechanism. If users lose their seed phrase, they can recover the wallet via their cloud-end back-ups. Source: https://medium.com/lysithea-ventures/an-insightful-exchange-recap-of-safepal-ama-with-ceo-veronica-3479ee32b796I will repeat again, Safepal is closed source junk and they are doing exactly the same thing as Ledger. This is really strange and it makes me think that same group of people is controlling or commanding this manufacturers what to do. I mean... they can't be so stupid to release this ''news'' in very similar timing like Ledger circus show. Keeping seed phrase in cloud... what could possibly go wrong?  Stay away from Safepal, and stop using it. |

Do you have old Gameboy console collecting dust in some old box of memories? Maybe you like '90s retro gaming items or you are a collector? Thanks to guys from Keyp you will soon be able to turn your own GameBoy into secure offline cold wallet, generate seed phrase and use it to store Bitcoin and Ethereum. There will be no internet connection so we can call this a cheap airgapped device that is going to have Open Source code. Now comes interesting part, there will be NO firmware updates ever, and all updates will be released as a new game with cartridges  Randomness will be generated inside device, and that can be a tricky part, so I would like them to include option of importing our own seed phrase manually. Wondering who the heck is Keyp?They are working with web3 Games and Apps: https://www.usekeyp.com/Do you want to help this project?Upvote on product hunt and retweet on twitter. https://www.producthunt.com/posts/the-game-walletI don't like they will focus this wallet more on ethereum than on bitcoin, but it is what it is, and this is still a cool project. For more details check out GameWallet website:  https://www.gamewallet.gg/ |

Good day, everyone
Sinbad is not hacked, there was a technical problem, which is solved now
I apologize for the late response
Can you please explain what happened with different theme on your website that some members noticed, are you working on some new design or not? |

Right now, I believe Robosats may honestly be a more private option, since you use it through Tor and it receives no 'device information' like a mobile app, doesn't deliver notifications through centralized Google / Apple servers and so on. Yeah but I don't think you can use Robosats for meetups and trading face to face for cash, plus I think there are much more options in Peach compared to Robosats. I think adding support for Tor would be a good idea for Peach, and maybe Robosats and Peach Bitcoin can work together in future. In theory Peach could alter create web app with limited functionality, like The Bitcoin Company did with their no-kyc cards. Well, mobile phone numbers are nowadays often tied to real identities using KYC. So if this communication is not encrypted end-to-end without backdoors or implementation flaws, a three-letter agency could knock at Peach's door, fetch a copy of their data, map phone numbers to identities and end up with a nice list of 'suspicious P2P Bitcoin investors'.
Communication is done within Peach app and I think it's encrypted, so I don't think there is anything connected with phone numbers. My biggest complain to Peach is that source code needs to be released as open source, for code encryption to be inspected for bugs and exploits. |

When uploading, before pressing the upload button, you can edit the size of the image. To do so, just click on the thumbnail image that appears on the screen and a popup will open for editing.
I tested it and it works great, just like I wanted and it speeds up my image uploading process a lot. Now you need to remove that checkbox to agree with terms each time if I am using Tor or other browser with private window. |

Can we ever trust what people from Ledger say anymore?
Only a few months ago, they claimed something completely different.
I never trusted them after many fiascos they had, leaking customer information multiple times, low quality check of their devices, battery issues, short support for older devices, closed source, etc... That being said, we should be very careful with all other hardware wallet manufacturers, they can turn on users and make deals with devil in a same way like ledger. Big red flag should be when manufacturers start to collect millions and billions of dollars from different campanies. I hadn't seen this before, and it makes me wondering: if Bob would get their hands on Alice's Ledger, would it be possible to upgrade the firmware and upload it online? I always thought the whole point of a hardware wallet is to make it impossible for private keys to touch the internet, but now it's starting to look like an expensive hot wallet.
This is what ledger claimed before, but now they are changing tune with different ''song''. They turned impossibility into new feature It strikes me as very unlikely that anything related to this is going to cause widespread losses anytime soon, so I don't think that an Important Announcement is necessary. Probably, but many people could still lose privacy, and mystery sharding encryption was never verified by anyone. I edited Ledger out of my "do not keep your money in online accounts" post. I still want to recommend some hardware wallet which is fairly easy-to-use, so I left Trezor in, even if it may not be perfect.
I think currently best open source wallet could be Passport by Foundation. They are 100% Bitcoin only device with open source code and reasonable price compared to Trezor Model T. No shitcoins liste there (unless someone makes community project support), and it's quality device assembled in US. |

Not realizing that some of these hardware wallets share similar flaws; chips. So you want to have hardware wallet device without microchips? It's not the problem with microchips, Bitcoin also need chips to operate, but closed source firmware is the biggest problem because code can't be verified. Quick question, please is coldcard open or closed source?[/b]
No it's not. Coldcard changed license from open source to Common Clause and now it has only verifiable source code. Open source hardware wallets are listed here in my topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5288971.0 |

Pazite se žena i lažnih brokerica! Policijski službenici Policijske postaje Ivanec zaprimili su prijavu 26-godišnjaka da je prevaren pri ulaganju u kriptovalute. On je ostao je bez 27.000 eura nakon što se na društvenoj mreži javio na oglas za ulaganje u kriptovalute Prema dogovoru početno je uplatio iznos od 250 eura uz aplikaciju, ali uz ponovne uplate je to došlo do 27.000 eura! https://varazdinska-policija.gov.hr/vijesti/prevaren-pri-ulaganju-u-kriptovalute/37383 |

Moderatora nećemo dobiti. Nikad ne reci nikad. Možda i ne dobijemo lokalnog ali theymos može zatražiti globalnog moderatora Naš dio je skoro bez prijava i ja se ne sjećam kada sam zadnji put nekoga prijavio
Tu sam ja za priave ne brini  Problem našeg lokala je što svi super pričamo engleski a ipak se o svemu konkretnije može pričati u glavnom dijeu foruma. Ja tu dođem samo na druženje  Nemamo mi problem, svi smo dosta aktivni smo globalno na engleskom a glupo je forsirati i pisati nešto na lokalu samo zbog Rikafipove analize. |

I found one more website that is accepting Bitcoin payments and they are giving 2% discount for everything purchased with BTC. Website is called Shoppinginjapan, they are specialized mostly in selling quality genuine wrist watches and they are shipping worldwide to most countries. There is no middleman like in case with ZenMarket, you pay directly with BTC and they are sending package directly to customers and sending with DXL Express.  https://www.shoppinginjapan.net/shopping-guide/#paymentPS
This is not advertisement and recommendation, just result of my research for ordering stuff from Japan.
Do your own research. |

This sounds like bad advise to me. Your advice is much worse (doing nothing), but go ahead update and have sex with your ledger wallet if you think it's safu to do it Based on what warrenty claim you want a refund? That Ledger lied to you that your seed or private keys never leaves the secure chip?
They are literally preparing to receive class action lawsuit for false advertisement and you are asking me this question Why that?
For fun and for better security. People are doing it already and recording videos,like in this example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6SoLaOF8uIwho would do something so mind-bendingly dumb that they've probably won the world record for losing the most customers in the shortest period of time.
Someone should register them for Guinness World Records book for this |

Incredible. How were you able to detect the differences and tampering in the micro-components inside the hardware wallet?
It was not me, it was Kaspersky you know, one of the biggest antivirus security company... that makes me think new Trezor fake device scam is probably coming from Russia. Trezor is still not shipping in that region of the world and scammers used that situation to create new cloned devices. Components inside are easy to differentiate even for amateurs like us, just read the labels. You will see the link under the images on the OP
Maybe he thinks I am mister Kaspersky  |

As a reminder, Passport comes with everything you need to get started, including a replaceable and rechargeable battery, an industrial-grade 8GB microSD card, microSD adapters for Android and iPhone, and a USB-C cable for charging.
Nice move with this discount that landed perfectly during ledger collapse $199 is perfect price, cheaper and better than Trezor T and most other hardware wallets. That being said, we still want a cheaper version, something like Passport A, similar like there are Pixel 7 and Pixel 7A smartphones I was wondering about Nokia batteries compatibility and I remember you guys said they should be compatible with old Nokia batteries. There was a guy who tried doing this and old Nokia battery was not fitting the case of Passport, even if they look almost identical in size. This is not a big deal, but I would like to be able to have few spare batteries I can easily swap anytime... so everyone make sure to have correct BL-5C battery (not similar BL-5CB model)  |

Why do I feel that this application will work as a chainalysis backdoor to track all your portfolio easily, it is a GUI XPUB import APK app.
I am not going to use this app but I think they release most of their stuff as open source, so this app should be no different and code should be checked by security experts. Trezor can be criticized for some things and I ram not recommending their devices atm, but I have to give them credits for staying on open source path for so long. Any app installed and used on smartphone should be considered as privacy risk for obvious reasons. Can I contact using Tor?
Trezor desktop app have Tor integrated, but they didn't do a very good job and some stuff got leaked, until someone reported issues on their github and it was fixed. That is why open source and community contribution is great. |
