Thank you. Why is it not worth it? bip39 is a code that can be placed on recovery words. If your words fall into the hands of a thief, he can't do anything with just words and will need a password. If he simply retrieves the words, he will see an empty wallet.
It's SafePal that I think is not worth it. It's closed source (at least the old version of it) and has a very bad user experience, probably the worst I have ever seen. I find that the need to scan QR codes constantly is quite annoying as well. If you decide to go with it, I know it supports BIP39 (like pretty much every other wallet out there), but I'm just not sure if you can add a passphrase to it like you intend to do.

Hello. I want to buy a hardware wallet. I only have bitcoin. In your opinion, is safepal good or ellipal titan mini? (I don't have a financial problem, I just want an air gap hardware wallet). I also want a hardware wallet that support bip39 password (a cipher that is needed during recovery, in addition to words, and is actually a protection for words) when creating the wallet. Thank you very much
I bought a SafePal some time ago, and I don't think it's worth the money (and it was even cheaper back then). Not sure about the latest one that just came out: https://www.safepal.com/en/store/x1Also, I'm not sure I understand what is "bip39 password" you're referring to here. Is it the extended words that you can add to your seedphrase? If so then Trezor has that: https://trezor.io/learn/a/passphrases-and-hidden-wallets

-snip- It works not only on top of the page, but on all individual avatars: ||bitcointalk.org/useravatars/avatar_375981.png -snip- You're right but it should work on the top image only, if he selects the part surrounding the avatar image instead of the image itself (I would imagine that ADB allows you to do that too). Like this: bitcointalk.org###upshrinkHeader .bordercolor .windowbg
I tried it and it doesn't look like it has blocked any other parts of the page.

I see the amount but nothing else other than that. Was there more info yesterday, like how much of each assets they have etc? Somehow I can't remmember whether it was there last night when I checked their CMC profile. -snip-
Yes. They had the list of assets as well as the addresses and the amounts on them yesterday. So I just checked some of the addresses from the link you posted, and it looks like they were targeted: https://etherscan.io/address/0x53eb3ea47643e87e8f25dd997a37b3b5260e7336#tokentxnsWe can see here that funds were sent to the hacker's address, and then to what looks like Coinex address that still have funds (50M in Ether, and 20M in tokens) :

It's a PR bullshit of course in order to calm their users but I doubt that anyone is buying it, at least not those that bothered to check their numbers. I mean, their 24h trading volume is ~$30 million, "reserve" is ~$32 million while hackerd amount is in range of $18 to $27 million. Small amount my ass.
Am I the only one who can no longer see the reserves now? https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/coinex/Since this is "Reported directly by the exchange" as mentioned on CMC, I would imagine that the only reason the data is not showing is because CoinEX no longer wants it to show... and if that's the case, that's even more worrying.

So it looks like Franklin Templeton (1.5 Trillion dollar in assets under management) filed for a Bitcoin Spot ETF today[1]. Gary Gensler also had a hearing with the Senate today where Bitcoin ETFs were brought up. These were some of his statements: Referring to a federal judge’s bombshell decision last month to side with Grayscale over the SEC, Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) asked Gensler what the body needs to see in a filing to approve a spot Bitcoin ETF.
Gensler told the Senate Banking Committee Tuesday that the SEC was “still reviewing that decision,” and added: “We have multiple filings around Bitcoin exchange-traded products, so it’s not just that one you mentioned, but it’s multiple others who we’re reviewing. I’m looking forward to the staff's recommendations.”
Gensler today reiterated that he thought the industry was a Wild West of noncompliance. “It’s a field which is rife with fraud, abuse, and misconduct,” he told lawmakers.

I just downloaded Unstoppable and imported my coinomi seed.
It is Taking too long to sync (more than 10minutes and still 18%). I am not using Tor.
The wallet also has a heavy UI, too many useless tais like markets, news... I found how to hide some in the options.
Overall good wallet, but I think it could more simple and straightforward, like electrum
Do you have thousands of transactions by any chance? and are you using ZEC (I know they have an issue with it syncing)? Otherwise, I know the syncing is a bit slow (maybe a minute or two compared to other wallets) and I have experienced it before, but 10 minutes and you're still at 18%?! That's way too much.

Using incognito mode can not lead to your Bitcointalk account to be logged out automatically, it only help people browsing history not to be recorded on the browser used. -snip-
This is why I'm asking OP how this happened exactly. But if you browse using Incognito, close... and then close the whole window, and reopen it again, then you will have to type your credentials again. I could be wrong, but the Session ID or token must be stored on the client's side so when the user deletes that data from the browser, he's asked to log in again.

Well, i want to use LTC. Other than government and the exchanges (exch.cx) themselves, other people can't trace it like you , me and other people only access to the public blockchain ? Please tell.
Yes, that's true. If that's what you're worried about then yes, other individuals are probably not going to be able to see much but then you should keep in mind that there are platforms like Arkham Intelligence that allow people to post bounties for this type of thing.
