Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

Talking about death... one of my Ledger wallets have died. It has a burn mark near the LCD (deforming the plastic case) as if it had internally shortcircuited or something....

Anyone knows if there is some warranty replacement or something?

Has it happened to anyone else?

check this reddit thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7riczy/melted_ledger_nano_s/

WOW! That is EXACTLY like mine looks like. Same burn mark in the same corner! I wouldn't be able to distinguish that one to mine!

Gotta read it Thanks!

P.S.: Looks like there is not much to learn there except I am not the first one with that same problem so maybe there is hope for a replacement.

np.

i have a nano s thats just for erc20 stuff (trezor can do erc20 as well but i wanted them separate), i have two trezor ones (the originals, which i like MUCH more than the nano) and a trezor T on its way. use those for the main stacks.

i prefer to spread my coins around multiple devices in case one device (or its seed) gets compromised or destroyed. although the since the seeds are spread around so much unless most of the state i live in gets wiped off the earth thats a pretty small possibility.

but still i feel safer with some on paper, some on varied hardware, and smallish amounts of spending money on computer and android phone.

I also have a Trezor, but for some reason I don't like it as much as the Ledger. I have had it pretty much unused for over a year now. Maybe it is just that the Ledger was the first one I bought and I got used to it. Maybe this is a good time to move the BTC and other supported coins I had on the dead ledger to the Trezor, and the unsupported altcoins to another Ledger.

I do the same spreading over devices and some into exchanges for trading. Never put all your eggs in one basket no matter how many backups you have. It's been some time I stopped using "classic" paperwallets though.

“Immoral?” I asked him.

 

“Suppose you could make a lot of money trading freshly harvested baby brains. Would you do it? To me bitcoin is almost as bad.”

 

Anything else, Charlie?

 

 

“I regard the whole thing as a combination of dementia and immorality. I think the people pushing it are a disgrace. There ought to be some things that are beneath you, that you just don’t do, and this is one.”

 

well what do you expect from a crusty old decrapit grandpa who looks like he belongs in a nursing home?...

baaah... bitcoin is immoral! ... bitcoin is a disgrace baaaaa!!
Mildred!!! I just crapped my Depends again!

Good morning all.

Support is hodling at the .786 fib which is a good sign for now. Like it or not..news and rumor will set the price this week at Consensus imho.

There was a critical vulnerability found in Bitcoin-ABC 0.17 applicable to BCash miners. Because BCash only has a few miners they just gave the "trusted" (lol? what does that even mean?) miners the patched software privately. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyone know what exchange this is on? #ineedabag     Way better than some offerings I have seen.

Wait, WUT? Is that for real?

This is escalating quickly.... good.

As much as it does look like an aberration to distribute the patched binaries to trusted members (presumably more than 50% of the hash rate... BITMAIN anyone)... It is probably the safer way to go here. If the vulnerability is critical enough you can't risk allowing third parties to carry on a bindiffing analysis (much less a source diffing) on it before most of the network is protected. Depending on the simplicity of the vulnerability it could only be a few hours apart from getting the patched binaries to fully exploiting it live.

OTOH, the frequency of this critical issues tells a lot about the poor secure coding practices and review of that fork. Which is nothing that we didn't already know though. Nothing to see here.

The old guard is starting to realize what Bitcoin really is. And they're scared shitless. Which is why the MSM is keeping up their questioning, so that they can keep grabbing these negative soundbites and pushing them out to Average Joe.

The average Joe would probably trade freshly harvested baby brains if that would make him some money.

freshly harvested baby brains

mmmmmmm, the other, other white meat, I'll have some pink lemonade with that

jojo69 eth volatile enough for you? setting records for volume

my particular pairs have chilled out somewhat in the last day, just coiling for the next bound I am sure

Well there is the abortion coin known as BCash, so...

For fork redemption, I'd recommend camku on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinAirdrops/comments/8e95u6/hard_fork_selling_extraction_services_kyc/

He only takes a 5% cut, and does much of the work.

I purchased the newest Trezor model T, which will be shiped at the end of the month. I will use the old seed to claim all the remaining hardforked shitcoins available.

I had a chat with this guy, Camku is legit and honest.

I feel like we had the umpteenth bull hangover. I feel dizzy: still sitting here at work doing crazy things while I should be out there in the world. They say good things come fot those who wait.
Come on Bitty, do something

Is there an ICO for this baby brain technology I've missed? To the moon!

Bill Gates was also in Omaha saying stupid things: "I'd short btc if I knew how." lol gtfoh, old man, 17 year-olds know how to.

It's the first token you can mine yourself. Well, you and a waifu.

Why is btrash doing so well ?

Probably because of the upcoming fork.
...

Proponents are looking forward to a 32 MB block size increase and op-code additions that could bring ethereum-like characteristics to the BCH network.

Jesus Titty-Fucking Christ.

The cancer that is BCash cannot die soon enough, along with Roger Ver.

Bigger blocks is a good thing. The problem is that they are being deceptive cunts. If we had chosen big blocks and they had chosen segwit, we would still think the same thing about them, and for the same reason. And be applauding ourselves for making the correct choice.

It's the people, not the tech.

Perhaps, but we do have better tech.

By what metric? Not interested in having that debate, but it needs to be backed up by something.

Regardless of that, if the tech were reversed we would be talking about how they overly complicated things. Humans feel first and then rationalize. Especially in this sort of tribal spat.

I'm not very interested in having that debate either. I'm really tired of all the bcash vs. bitcoin debates.

I will say that segwit is a safe and elegant way to scale without increasing centralization. A conservative blocksize increase is safe, but still a last resort measure, as it inherently increases centralization.

Decentralization is one of the most, or the most, important foundational principles of Bitcoin

So he is pro babies... 

Wonder if he has heard of BCASH?
