2  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Trezor hacked (again) on: February 17, 2022, 08:35:48 PM
I enjoyed watch this video!

Tension was real with the faulty ground  Shocked



That is why I think that having multiple solution is the best thing you can do, own multiple hardware wallets, own DIY signers like Seesigner or Krux, and own a laptop with sole purpose of being a secure cold storage.
I am so fed up with hardware wallets at the moment, that I'm pretty much exclusively using airgapped encrypted devices and paper wallets for my non-hot wallets. Adding in KYC linked debit cards, supporting KYC and AML requirements from privacy invading centralized exchanges, adding unnecessary features (and therefore vulnerabilities) such as games to the firmware, adding support (and therefore vulnerabilities) for hundreds of useless shitcoins, the list goes on. I don't want to spend money on yet another new hardware wallet for the company to announce in few weeks' time that they are now implementing *stupid feature* and I have yet another device that I don't want to store my coins on. At least with a DIY solution I know it will still work exactly as I want it to in 1, 5, 10 years' time.

Posting this video on Youtube now in 2022 is just a free marketing campaign for Kingpin more than anything else, but it sure hurt Trezor so they even had to comment on that video with explantion.
Lol. People are dumb. They just read the headline about Trezor being hacked and start to panic. No one bothers to actually read the story to see this is a non-issue.

I didn't even check DIY solutions before buying one, I should... I don't like the changing address of Ledger, don't know if it's a rule for all hardware wallets but I don't really understand the goal.

Create useful topic based on your experience.

Ask relevant question.

Search topics with some small tricks to do (and same time learn!) to earn merits.

Good luck

I have a few MONACARDS, but it's quite difficult to buy MONACOIN.

That's a shame because NFT on MONA are very nice and also be available on OPENSEA throught emblem.finance!

Bittrex is the easiest place for me to get some MONACOIN Wink

I read that withdraw fees are quite low? How much is it for Monacoin ?

The most important thing you have not mentioned is redundancy.

One back up is no back up at all. You need, at a minimum, two back ups, with one of those being stored off site. Writing your seed phrase on paper and storing it in the same building (almost always your home) as your hardware wallet is effectively no back up at all, since you will lose both hardware wallet and seed phrase back up with any natural disaster, fire, flood, etc. You should have your seed phrase written on two separate pieces of paper, with one of those stored in a secure location away from home, with a friend or relative, in a safe deposit box, etc. If you are uneasy with a copy of your raw seed phrase being stored away from home, then use additional security such as a passphrase or multi-sig, although these also require at least two more separate back ups.

That way it doesn't matter if your home is destroyed and you lose both your hardware wallet and your seed phrase; you can always recover from your second back up.


Yeah right indeed, I haven't mentionned redundancy. OG are here to add criticals informations!
Two differents place of storage is a must have.

I'm not very confident with paper I like the metal way like crypto steel capsule. A bit expensive, but principle can easily be done with inexpensive materials.

Indeed, the seed should never get online, not even for the printer (also mail, cloud, desktop are not proper places for storing).


Yeah right, memory of printers.




And, important: after you generated the seed, wrote it for safe keeping and so on, write down 1-2 addresses (can go even to a text file), reset the HW once again, recover from the seed, match the addresses. This would ensure you don't come crying in 10 years that the seed you've written down doesn't give the addresses you expect.


Very important, I forgot to mention. (but fortunately I have done that check)

There is a pinned thread though on bitcoin wallets (*), which does include a section on hardware wallets. For those that explore around the forum a bit, there’s also a complete subboard dedicated to hardware wallets. Threads come and go, and for it to be regularly visible on the first page of a board such as B&H, it’s either got to be a pinned thread, or one with a heck of a lot of activity.  

(*) Regardless of whether a given thread is pinned or not, one should check and contrast to see if the information on the thread is still up-to-date and correct.



Yes you are right, my title was more like, no beginners ask question about hardware wallet, that's weird Smiley

Also maybe the threshold is outdated  Cheesy:

Quote
Amount: If you are dealing with large amounts of bitcoins you will need a secure wallet. Hardware wallets and secure offline wallets like Armory are good options.


Thanks for the links, it will help ones who find that thread.

I have waiting too long before buying an hardware wallet, but better later than never  Grin!

Don't start with a test wallet with a seed stored in a text file, because days after days that wallet might be your main one.
Better to start with good practice with a secure solution.

- Buy your hardware wallet brand new. Do not buy it from someone, even told "new" or with blister. These hardwares might be compromized.
- Not always possible but it's better to buy it in a physical store, if bought online, your address might be intercept.
- Store your seed in a safe manner, hidden and fire proof. Mitigate ratio safe / risk of lost. For example, I do not like the memory for storing my seed, or bury it in a very remote place. Ask yourself if you can find it in 5-10-15 years ?
- Perform all hardware steps alone, in a quiet area. Mask all camera, and never type/take picture of your seed on your mobile or computer even offline.


Remember that:

- If hardware wallet is lost, funds can be retreived with seed
- If hardware PIN wallet is lost, funds can be retreived with seed
- If hardware wallet is stolen with PIN, funds are compromised
- If hardware wallet is stolen without PIN, funds are safe
- If seed lost, funds are compromised and only way to restore is Hardware + PIN
- If seed and PIN lost, there is no way to retreive funds
- If seed and hardware lost, there is no way to retreive funds

In any case if one of the three, PIN, hardware or seed is lost or stolen, transfert all your funds to new settings.

Stay safe

No one knows what will happen in the short term, but:

The ATH ($69,044.77) happened in Nov 10, 2021.

The current hodl line is at 3 years, 4 months, and 4 days.

That means we'll see a new ATH at least on Friday, 14 March 2025.

Didn't know that site, like it !
Thanks

I really hope for you you can refund your loan.
The motto "invest what you can afford to lose" can also been seen as what happen if my investment go to zero, can I mentally withstand that lost and continue my life as it was.

Thanks for your answers,

It's clear now, I have found additionals informations here regarding private keys, and compressed/uncompressed private key.

https://learnmeabitcoin.com/technical/wif

But an answer call another question!

As I understood, an private key starting with 5, give a legacy address only, and also give an uncompressed adress. Obviously the public key generated by my 5xxx private key gave me a compressed key, probably compressed for ease of use.

Quote
Compression Byte suffix (optional) - Indicates if the private key is used to create a compressed public key.


Is there a way to find out our uncompressed key and perform send a transaction, just for science ?


Same question with private key starting with L or K


I think we don't speak about the same freewallet, I use the https://freewallet.io/ counterparty one.
16  Other / Beginners & Help / Question regarding links between oldish bitcoin addresses and segwit ones on: September 11, 2021, 01:03:05 PM
Hello,

I'm on freewallet and have an imported wallet, with some address (seems) paired with a segwit addresses (bc1...).
I tried to import a bc1 in electrum and it imported the oldish address.

Is btc addresses have always a paired bc1 addresses? Is there any other pair that exist?

For the import I find the solution, I have to let the "p2wpkh:" tag

19  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: CoinMarketCal and OpenSea sites advice on: September 02, 2021, 11:10:38 PM
Hi!

I do not know coinmarketcal but opensea.

On open sea you filter by project, you can even add more project to your search, and then enter a keyword to look into this serie.

You have also filters for proprities of nft your are looking for.

But there is no filter for saying which one will generate profit, if any.  Grin
