Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I decided to write to Ledger (again) asap. This time i want ALL my data removed from ALL their databases under GDPR. Of course, i will remind them, that refusing to do so is illegal in the EU and that i have to report it to the officials through my embassador/foreign affairs ministry. In the meantime i'm gonna figure out the correct instance to turn to, which form and/or wording i have to use etc.
Good move. Please keep us posted on this. I'm also thinking of writing to those jokers, to formally request the complete deletion of everything they hold about me, under GDPR. Complete deletion. Those fucks! I hope they go bankrupt and be forced to pay heavy fines. Use formal language and don't be impolite (don't swear, etc.), just cold and to the point. This will scare them even more. Good luck! Will let you guys know what happens in my case too, I just need to find the time to write a proper email. For US customers only. EU customers (no guns allowed): "You're on your own!"
Hey, but we have a spray! It doesn't do anything and it can't even sting the eyes of the attacker, so it's literally like hitting them with whipped cream. That's so clever! Legal, and seems to be able to do a good job at stunning the attacker, and also marking him for the authorities to locate. I want one!

Good morning Bitcoinland. Still bouncing up and down trying to get a solid run over $24k... currently $23566USD/$30300CAD (Bitcoinaverage). C'mon Bitcoin. Let's see $25k by Xmas. So, why would anyone need or want a Ledger if almost anything it does can be done on any computer? Perceived security because it's a "hardware wallet" that's small and convenient? Small 10 inch or 13 inch laptops can do the same thing and more. (it's the "more" part that opens up a larger attack surface.)
Any old phone can do the same thing, take it offline (no sim, no wifi) and its a hardware wallet. Connect to PC with USB or turn on wifi to have hot wallet. Why even bother with all that? Just keep your keys in the medium of your choice... paper, steel, leather, whatever... encrypted , duplicated, and stashed in multiple locations. No need for electronic contraptions.

Just keep your keys in the medium of your choice... paper, steel, leather, whatever... encrypted , duplicated, and stashed in multiple locations. No need for electronic contraptions. Yeah it does work that way. To be fair, the point of these hardware wallets is to sign the messages or transactions securely before being broadcast to the network. If you can properly secure and verify your computers, desktop, phone, laptop or whatever device you use is clean, then they serve the same purpose. If your computer is compromised, whether you know it or not, the moment you connect it to the network, someone can and will steal your corns, redirecting the transaction to a different address or just outright leaking your private keys so they can do it later. (or instantly.) To that end, I'm still not convinced to spend money to get one of them. I'm now leaning towards a Trezor, but I do fine with my own hardware. My "hardware wallets" are my freshly formatted refurbished air-gapped old ancient workstations / servers. Almost eternally quarantined.

SSD's are a poor medium for long-term storage. And more generally complex electronics such as PCs and their many multiple single points of failure is not something to be relied upon. But whatever you choose, those 12/24 words still need secure storage.

It's all peachy, but our leading indicator (GBTC) suggests a 4% drop. Y'all think that it is irrelevant, but a large coin losing almost 50% because of lawsuit (even before any verdict) is (or should be) unnerving to btc as well. Who knows what other lawsuits are in the pipeline or be concocted shortly?

I am used to formal language, i am always friendly, especially to my enemies EDIT: From their FAQ: Does Ledger comply with GDPR?Ledger is working tirelessly to comply with GDPR and other data protection regulations. This is why within 3 days of the discovery of the data breach, Ledger reported the information to the French Data Protection authority and has been provided updates as they became available. Ledger is also working and communicating openly with other data protection authorities. Ledger’s privacy team is also mobilised to respond and manage any privacy related queries that customers may send us. If you have a specific request about your data (access, erasure….) please send us an email at privacy@ledger.fr.
