I lost all of my BTC

Are you seriously serious?!?

Mic got liquidated

This is post #1:





The irony when we see some posts in this thread blaming the use of TA.

 Let it go man; that attitude will age you prematurely.  This thread has morphed into a community-based, semi-autonomous chat board - the initial post has historical value only.  There's only one rule in here and I can't, for the life of me, remember it.

It's don't write FUCK YOU FATTY, if you do that it will get deleted.

 


That's why I come here so frequently... . for the lulz....


So funny that you, Arriemoller, can't get over a few deleted posts... especially and in spite of you obviously being in the wrong.

Why do they have to make everything so damn difficult to service these days?  Maybe I'm just getting old and inflexible...

While I do resonate with your frustration here, it is not entirely their fault.  Just today I was revisiting a circuit I built almost 20 years ago.  Miniaturization was my primary design goal and then I had a fair bit of feature creep...serious density...let's just say it is NOT easy to work on.

All I'm saying is stop a minute and consider just what they are packing in there.

I'm sure Mic is joking...

But...

Always keep several copies of your recovery seed in paper (or other non-digital) form, and not all in one physical place (e.g., if you have two houses, keep copies in both). Also, use a passphrase in addition to the seed, and never write it down, for plausible deniability and also in cases where someone finds your seed and recognizes what it is.

Another thing I want to stress is that TREZOR, Ledger, and any other h/w wallet that uses standard BIP protocols (almost all of them do), are all interchangeable. This means that you only need the seed (+ the passphrase, if you use one). There is absolutely no difference if you use a TREZOR, Ledger, or even a s/w wallet like Mycelium. Your coins are not "stored" inside these devices. They exist in a universe-sized, multidimensional mathematical construct, and you only have a map to find them. The map is you seed (+ the passphrase, if you use one). That's all you'll ever need to access them.

So, don't worry if you ever lose your TREZOR or Ledger. They are just containers of something you (should) already have.

I may add that keeing portions of the seed (wordlist) in several places makes sense, too.
If there's theft or robbery, they will only get away with a part of the seed.
Be sure to include detailed information in your testament.

I think obfuscating the seed by separating it into 2 or more places poses more risk than it mitigates no?  If you have a passphrase that's not written with the seed then it won't matter if the whole seed phrase is lost to theft assuming you have a backup or a wallet still running it.   I could see where giving the passphrase to a family member would make sense in the case of your passing while your seed or hw wallet could be found in your safe box.
I only say this because there's quite a few people who go to unnecessary lengths to hide their seed words by circling words in a book, keeping half here, half there, mixing the order and other silly ways of losing or forgetting how to put it back together properly.  Reckon it's probably one of the top 5 ways funds have been lost.

I'd like to think Mic is playing a sick sick joke on us.
He claims to have lost his Nano S - with all his corn in it?

How about the Nano X - to the moon edition?
As a sentiment from his post history, I believe that his seed is safe, maybe even Shamir safe.
WO members that know him irl, cheap booze instead of cocktails, new apartment, only tell me that he is moving all-in on BTC - LS style.
I'm sorry, but I think Mic is better than the average reckless Joe.

And that's why detailed informations about recovering the seed from fragments are important.
A passphrase won't work on non-digital versions of the seed, that's why i even considered fragmentation/obfuscation.
Also, if you have parts of the non-digital seed in various places, it's harder for people forcing you to hand over the seed wordlist.
Say, if you have to go to the notary to get you printed seed (or parts), for example.

Haven’t seen this mentioned here yet, but hard to keep up from time to time:

https://twitter.com/ergobtc/status/1197496064854634496?s=21

It is regarding a Plustoken scam?,supposedly continuously selling 200k bitcoins on Huobi. About 1300 per day, and 58000 still to go. Would explain the selling pressure?

[AlcoHoDL]

By the time Mic finds his seed, the price will have dropped to zero it seems...

Lots of red today...

Wow, that guy has carried out a thorough investigation, kudos. I’m not bothered by the selling & subsequent price suppression, it’s giving me the chance to get to an ultimate OCD target number of coins I’ve been after for a long time.

We’ll go up when it’s time.

[SuperTA]

If Mic wants you all to know for some reason that he doesn't have btc we should accept that statement.

[Last of the V8s]

nonsense we all know it he's fucking satoshi
