[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[elrippos friend]

hi !  

i am new to monero, but i have some experience with bitcoin core and bitcoin cash.

i have found a list of app wallets on the official website ( getmonero.org/downloads/ ), ok good !

i plan to generate an address / viewkey / spendkey, with moneroaddress.org.

then i plan to store the address / viewkey / spendkey in a txt file, compressed in a password protected 7z archive (AES-256)

then i plan to use the mymonero app wallet (android) to manage the address (to receive / send xmr)

( i  do a similar approach for my btc addresses / coins, and for my bch addresses / coins, and no problem until now (fingers crossed ) )

a few questions, please :

Q1) is the generator on moneroaddress.org trustworthy / reliable ?
 answer : apparently yes because recommended on the official website...

Q2) is the mymonero app wallet (android) trustworthy / reliable ?
 answer : apparently yes because recommended on the official website...

Q3) who funds the developments of the monero protocol ? are the developpers / contributors only working for the "cause" ?
 answer : apparently by donations and crowfunding...

any others advices you may have for a beginner ?

thanks !

You will not like my reply.

I am going to assume you are planning to store what you consider to an un-lose-able sum.

Personally I think using moneroaddress.org is risky unless you know exactly what you are doing, and then the Dunning-Kruger effect is your enemy. You should ABSOLUTELY NOT use it on a computer that is connected to a network, or ever will be again.  If you can use some disposable OS or tails etc on a laptop that wont ever...  muh seriously.  It's really really just a bad idea.  I assume you will be entering in seed words on a internet connected computer...  all it takes then is a keylogger etc.  I guess if you are going to create a watch only wallet that is basically cold storage...  Then it's better.

Yes MyMonero is (probably?) trustworthy.  But you are choosing the lest secure of all Monero wallets.  It's a web wallet.  I would either use the official wallet, or Feather.  And you might as well generate your keys in those if you planned to just type them in in the first place.

Using a hardware wallet is really the best bet.  Period.  Seed created on unconnected device.  Stored on paper (or metal etc).  You get to use a Bip39 passphrase...  It's worth the 60-100$ IMHO.

Maybe someone can give you a less paranoid answer...  Why says I am right?  Don't trust.

Good luck!!!

AMEN

I'm using the core wallet with the trezor model T and I have a different address showing up on the screen of the trezor to the one I'm supposed to be sending to according to the wallet on screen.
Anyone ever seen this?
Anyone have any idea what the heck might be going on here?
I'm not clicking send because thats literally the point of the trezor.

I would guess no-one wants to give you bad advice so no replies.

That would scare the shit out of me Anon..  I would not hit send, that's for sure.

What I would do:
Make sure Trezor is up to date firmware/app wise.
Search reddit.
Try it with a fresh install of the s/w and a recreated wallet.
Reach out to Trezor if the above does not solve it...

Were did you buy the Trezor Model T?
Are you using the GUI wallet? Were did you download the wallet software? Did you verify it?

Try the suggestion here:

To add, the issue will be fixed in the next release.

I know Trezor Model T and Ledger can work with other Monero wallets but is there any other hardware wallet fully supporting Monero coin and what is going on with your own Kastelo hardware wallet project?

Are you sending to an integrated address ? Those are 106 characters long, instead of the usual 95.

If so, then the Trezor is likely splitting that address into the correspdonding standard address and the short payment id.

You can check this using monero-wallet-cli, and run:
integrated_address ADDRESS

Replace ADDRESS with the address you want to be sending to. If the command prints the address you're seeing on the Trezor, you're good. If not....

Haven't seen this information posted here, so here it is: 0.17.2.0 (both CLI and GUI) was released.

Congratulations to the developers for bringing out further improvements to this project!

And many thanks for all the hard work you have put in, mostly for free. I don't think you guys receive enough praise.
