This is a good point. For all the time I have had my Nano S I have never needed to carry it with me to make a transaction somewhere on the go.
I've taken mine on 3 week long vacations before... used it a couple of times as I was able to buy some gift cards for the missus to get some online retail therapy when we were in North America  And I have an OTG cable for my phone, but I've never used it while actually "on the go". I also have an S that is the backup clone of the X and kept in a separate location. Always good to have compatible backups.
This is why I have the Trezor ONE. So, if the Nano S or the Trezor ONE breaks or is lost... I can easily access my funds using the other device without needing to wait for a replacement. |

Here is my current version... I can't tell you what the exact things I changed were tho, as it has been quite a while since I modified it.  I do remember that I made some modifications to the "thread listing view" so that it was highlighting "unread" threads better or something like that... and I remember changing the "quote" "delete" and "merit" buttons I think... and possibly the colour of links and/or quoted messages. .tborder {

What about baunty?
Aside from the terrible spelling... check the thread he is looking for a bounty in!  |

So your saying these mobile/desktop wallets estimation of time is usually not very accurate?
It's just an estimate... and while they're generally not toooo bad, there are always things outside of the control of everyone that might screw it up. For instance, miners might get "unlucky" and not find any blocks for an hour, the mempool floods with 10s of thousands of unconfirmed transactions and your transaction gets stuck at the bottom etc. Or you could be like "screw it, I don't need it in a hurry" and send with 1 sat/byte fee expecting to wait until tomorrow... and then the miners get lucky and find like 4 blocks in a few minutes and your transaction gets included. I've had both things happen before... but generally, I'm always like "screw it, I don't need it in a hurry"... so I pretty much always just send with 1 sat/byte and let it ride  |

Hello Ive downloaded the mobile version of electrum via Google Play store, and it is 3.3.7 version. The new 3.3.8 has no update yet, but can I ask should I have deleted the one Ive downloaded and stream again this new version from electrum download directly? Cause there is no update yet from Playstore. Or there is none difference on technical aspect even I dont upgrade it. Thanks.
You can see the 3.3.8 release notes here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES#L7-L13Whether those changes are important to you or not is only really something you can determine, although generally speaking, it's better to get the lastest version. If you download the 3.3.8 APK directly from the Electrum website and verify the signature, you should be able to simply install it and it will automatically update the version on the phone without you needing to uninstall 3.3.7 first (I just tested this on my phone). |

Anyway, you made progress because I actually pressed "on" the wallet name "default wallet", the type is "imported" and I missed the other one named "test" which was also imported. The new tech guy made both as they both have the same balance. Difference being the "default" says "watch-only", which is the one I was trying to use and the "test" does NOT say "watch-only".
Can I simply delete the watch-only wallet or now that I know, just leave it alone and don't use it.
If it is a straight clone of the "test" and has exactly the same address/balance... You can probably delete it without too much issue (especially if you still have the paper with the private key on it!)... but probably best to just leave it and ignore it for now until you are 110% sure you don't need it for anything. So if I bring my other HD wallets onto my mobile I can practice sending and receiving between them, yes?
Should be able to yes... just remember to check what the network is like so you can see fees appropriately etc... https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/ If you see BIG spikes and lots of transactions showing as unconfirmed, it's a bad time to test, as fees will be high and confirmations can take a while |

Is that really enough or should I do more in order to make sure Bitcoin is completely wiped off my system?
What are you actually attempting to achieve? Did you want to simply uninstall Bitcoin to free up some space? Or are you trying to remove all evidence that it was ever on your system, so anyone searching on your computer would not find any traces?  |

Thanks for "resurrecting" the nex dark theme thread... and thanks for the the mod to fix the avatars... the circles were really annoying, the "rounded square" is a much nicer effect in my opinion. Nice work!
NOTE: You really shouldn't have created the thread in the "archival" board tho... you should move it to "meta" or to "off-topic". Use the "move topic" link in lower left:  And select "Other - Meta" (or "Other - Off-Topic") from the dropdown list! |

I appreciate the help but not sure why you would say paper wallets don't usually have "seeds". What little I know they are the most important part.
We definitely used the Private key I recall now because we had a letter that was under case which was suppose to be a capital letter. once we figured that out it worked. I can't remember everything exactly but we didn't choose the normal 1st choice I think it was the last one that says Import existing wallet.
Then entered the seed, made a password, then entered the Private key via typing in the long address starting with the "L".
No... A seed phrase is a backup for a HD (hierarchical deterministic) wallet. These wallets generate multiple private keys/addresses from that seed. Granted, most of these wallets will tell you to write your seed phrase on a bit of paper, but they're not typically called "paper wallets". like I said a "paper wallet" is generally just one single private key/address. If you did the "import bitcoin address or private key" option... there is NO option to type in the private key in Electrum Android... you can only use "PASTE" from the clipboard... or the QR code scanner:  I check the "wallets" by choosing the 3 dots and just one wallet 'default wallet' and no "watch-only" message.
And what does it say for "wallet type" if you tap the wallet name at the top of the main window? |
|
|
|
So after we entered the seed phrase (and private key I believe)
See... this sounds wrong. Paper wallets don't (usually) have "seed phrases"... paper wallets are generally just a single private key/public address combo... and you either import that private key into a wallet (fyi, not possible to an Electrum wallet that already has a seed, has to be a new wallet or an "imported" wallet)... or you sweep the private key to an existing wallet. It sounds like the wallet you currently have is "watching only" and was created using the "address" and not the private key. If you click the the wallet name at the top of the screen, what does it say for "Wallet Type"? And if you click the "3 dots" menu button and then select "wallets" do you see multiple wallet files listed? |

I'll try just importing the wallet.dat again and see if it works now that its synchronized, and if not I'll try to use pywallet to hopefully pull the privatekeys from the wallet and import them into Electrum.
Just remember... after Bitcoin Core is synced, make sure that you shut it down completely before doing anything with the wallet.dat files. Once it is completely shutdown, then you can put the 'old' wallet.dat into the "datadir" and then restart Bitcoin Core. Theoretically, it should open it. If it doesn't, it might also be worth checking the "debug.log" file for the relevant errors. It might output something more useful there than what it shows in the error dialog box messages. |

Thanks... I had long suspected that this was indeed the case, but it's nice to get the perspective from someone that owns and has used both.
I also have the Trezor ONE and I believe the same applies to the "ONE vs T" situation.

As of right now i have the entire chain synchronized and downloaded, and every file from the bitcoin in the old computer now on my new computer. At first I did have a pruned block chain of about 10 GB but i remember an error saying the wallets last use was too long ago and that it had to use either the full chain or a larger prune to update.
Yes, if you have pruned, you'll struggle to get it work when trying to open a "new" wallet.dat... as it'll need to rescan... which it can't do because, obviously, it'll be missing blocks. You definitely need a fully synced Bitcoin Core with the full 250+gigs of blocks. Before you do anything else, I hope you've been working on copies of the wallet.dat that you found and that you still have the 'original' wallet.dat that you copied from the old laptop. I made a new wallet in Bitcoin Core and imported all of those files, consisting of a database folder, .lock, .walletlock, blkindex.dat, db.log, debug.log, peers.dat, pywallet.py, readme (seems to be for a python extension?), wallet.dat and a wall.dat.bak.
If you have successfully installed and synced the latest Bitcoin Core... then the only file you would require from the old laptop is "wallet.dat"... anything else might cause a lot of unexpected issues if you overwrite things in the Bitcoin Core directory. Anytime im synced with the chain and try to open the wallet it just says "opening for seemingly forever" but eventually says it failed to open because the wallet de-synced.
Was this having imported all those old files? or just copying in the old "wallet.dat" and nothing else? If it's giving errors when you try to import just the "wallet.dat" and nothing else, then the wallet.dat might be corrupted You might need to attempt to use the "pywallet.py" on this old wallet and dump the private keys that way... I'm kinda curious as to why pywallet.py was even in that Bitcoin folder that you found... it is NOT part of Bitcoin Core, it's a Python script that was used for, amongst other things, extracting private keys from "broken" wallet files. If you don't already have Python installed, you'd need to install the latest version of Python 2.7 (from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2716/ ), make sure you have the latest PyWallet file (from here: https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet ) and then try using the --dumpwallet command to extract whatever you can out of the wallet.dat There is a lot of useful stuff in the PyWallet thread, but do note that this utility is no longer maintained and the dev is not active: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34028.0Again... whatever you do, make sure you're working on a copy of the 'old' wallet.dat |

Do you think it is worth the expense for an existing Nano S owner if you only have 1 or 2 coins (ie. not a big altcoin hodler/trader)? Is the "value add" really there for the extra expense in that situation? I like the concept of the Nano X, but I just don't think that in my situation, it warrants spending another ~US$140+ for "features" that I'm not sure are of any use |

Is there any risk of fund loss if I use Ledger Live together with Tails or is it, in fact, safer to use my hardware wallet on this OS? I'd use Electrum but I have some alts I need Ledger Live for![/li][/list]
Given a lot of hardware wallets claim that you can use them on a compromised PC without issue... then using it with a Tails Live USB should be not different to using it on say a Windows or MacOSX machine. In theory, (unknown and/or unpublished flaws in HW security aside) the OS you use your hardware wallet on should not make any difference to the security of your private keys... they're effectively "shielded" from the network by the hardware wallet itself, regardless of what that device is connected to. The only way to "lose" your cryptocurrency would be if you didn't follow the proper checks and procedures and executed transactions without properly confirming outputs, addresses and amounts etc. |

And that is all correct. If it says "watch only", then there are no private keys contained within the wallet file, only public keys/addresses. @andrecalabrese, what were the exact steps that you used to create this wallet? |

There is also a Moonlander 2 support thread already in that same board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2420357.0 You might be best off asking for support help there. Alternatively, you could just try asking in the mining section for assistance. There is one in the "Altcoins" section if you're not mining BTC. You can find this board here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0NOTE: If you click the "move topic" option near the lower left of the thread window, you can move this thread yourself rather than starting a new one:  |

I need at least 1.32 tBTC for testing. Anyone kind enough to lend me some? Cheers.
Try and reach out to mocacinno... he has a faucet thread setup here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5223320.0I do know that a month or 2 ago he was offering to "lend" people larger amounts of tBTC if they gave him collateral that would enable him to buy hashing power to re-mine the loaned tBTC if they didn't return the tBTC when they were finished with it: What would you need 50 testnet coins for, that 0.50 or 0.05, or 0.005 will not suffice? I don't have that much either, but you can always get from the many faucets a small amount. It's for testing, the amount should not matter.
But I'd like to also know if there are any other ways of acquiring such amount of testnet coins other than mining them.
Nope, you either run in regtest mode, or you mine tBTC... Sometimes 0.5 tBTC does not suffice, for example: if you're designing a mixer... You'll need a lot of tBTC in order to do a proper taint analysis. @OP: I run a faucet: https://tbtc.mocacinno.com and i've given tBTC as a loan in the past. I have > 50 tBTC (but most are on my hardware wallet at home, so i can't access them for another 3 hours) However : since you're a newbie, i would require sufficient collateral for such a loan. The collateral should be sufficient to rent hashrate from miningrigrentals and mine >50 tBTC in case your run off. To tell you the truth, the diff on the testnet is still very high and the block reward is ~0.39 tBTC, so i'm afraid it'll be a lot of collateral to loan 50 tBTC. IF you're interested: i'm willing to use a trusted forum escrow to hold the collateral, no intrest, but ALL fees are payed by you (including the fees to transfer the collateral to me or the escrow, and the fees to transfer the collateral back to you). Please do not PM me, but post anything on this very thread... I don't like to hide in PM's, telegram, mails,... |

Did you actually shut Komodo down in between copying all these wallet.dat files around? As wallet.dat files (for most of the Bitcoin Core clones anyway) are essentially just a database... if you don't shut the program down before copying/moving/renaming/overwriting etc, you can very easily end up with a corrupted file. How did you make the backups exactly? Did you just shut down the app and then copy the wallet.dat? Did you copy the wallet.dat while the app was open? |
