It does go away, however there's no short cuts that I found other than getting better through doing it enough times. Seems the better I became, the easier it became to send larger (relative to my personal bag size) tx's I would recommend getting as prepared as you need to. *Relax, it's all by design* 1) Set aside the day (eventually the afternoon, eventually the lunch hour, etc.) *Relax, it's all by design* 2) I usually think, act, and process better when my hunger has been satiated. Consider having a meal beforehand. Not too heavy (Poutine with sausage for example, for me anyhow) but not just an apple and a glass of water (unless this is your normal "had-a-meal-ready-to-go") -Remember to wait about 30 minutes before getting in the water. Take Tylenol for any headaches, Mydol for any cramps (sorry-I couldn't resist 😜) *Relax, it's all by design* 3) Get your computing device or devices, cold wallet, USB cables, VPNs, settings, check the on/off/functionality of all the cords, connections, Bluetooth, lights in the room, AC if you want it/have it (there will be an increase in body temperature as you attempt to move whatever significant amount your moving, especially the first or first few or more times) *Relax, it's all by design* 4) Get a comfortable seat, chair, hammock, stool, gaming chair, etc...get the computing device situated for ease of access, with cold wallet(s) within arm's reach of said computing device and/or comfortable seating *Relax, it's all by design* 3) Nervous stomach? Have some cold or room temperature water nearby. Take some slow deep breaths, tell yourself that you're calm, all is well, you can't finish what you don't start. Be near the restroom. *Relax, it's all by design* 4) Check and recheck the addresses as many times as it takes. Checked 63 times? Good. 63 times as sure. Over time you'll develop a rhythm with the addresses and how you check them along with the hardware you're using and how this and that work together. *Relax, it's all by design* 5) *SEND THE SMALLEST AMOUNT AS A TEST TRANSACTION.* Overtime, relative to the bag size, this will also become a rhythm. What was once all-the-above to send CAD $527.33 will become the process to send CAD $ 527,333.33, so on and so forth. *Remain relaxed, still by design* 6) It's getting on into the evening/night/morning. You can't delay the inevitable any longer. You either send it now or come back to it later. Of course "later" could be too late, take it into account as realistically as possible. *Remain relaxed, still by design* 7) Time to seize the moment. Confirm, confirm, confirm, confirm, chill. Take a drink of water/soda/tea/coffee/Pabst (side note-Id thought getting a good buzz going would've helped, in my case it didn't help as much as I thought it would, also the foggy thinking...) *Remain relaxed, still by design* 8) Go ahead and calmly copy your TX (transaction number) paste into https://mempool.space/ and see your transaction on the Blockchain. When it confirms, have at the ready, sufficient confetti. Loud raucous yells and hoots are always a favorite, especially for your neighbors. Now...maybe that Pabst as a reward for a job well overdone, but very necessary. 9) Go to bed. There's probably a whole bunch of TPS reports waiting for you at the office tomorrow and you know Lumbergh. Consider a job in construction. *Rinse and repeat. You'll find your rhythm. It's all by design.*
ALWAYS SEND TEST TRANSACTIONS The amount of ppl that just push buttons and hope for the best astound me. Before you do anything in crypto: RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. YouTube is a great resource
They are actually buying Bitcoin lol https://www.vrbo.com/1285685?dateless=true&EMLCID=VRBO-US.TRC.PRSPCT.471d9569ad1e36bd95ac9ac8acb7168e.EML&EMLDTL=DATE20240521-LANGEN_US.TEST17.VERS1.CAT03G300&cta=propertybookingdetails.general.link
Man, people need to TEST unknown sites with a second wallet that has like $5 in. Then after testing it all out amd your account is still good add little bit of funds and test some more until you are confident with a large sum. Never use your main wallet to interact with smart contracts.
Too late now, but in future always TEST TRANSACTION when transferring to a wallet. On more than one occasion it’s safe me from nearly been screwed when the token has been unsupported (wrong token version) or sent through the wrong chain. ⛓️💥 i
TEST NET! It's free and you can jerk around on it all you want. If you can figure out how to make a wallet, I'll send you some coins. Go to [bitpay.com](http://bitpay.com) and look up their list of fountains. At least one of them should work.
Huge merchants, thank you for asking. My frustration is with those that are saying amp is failed. The most bullish recent news is Hy-vee which actually States Flexa by name as an option to pay. On the POS! Guess what, there was no announcement of this or promo of it at all, which to us AMP maxis is part of the appeal. Someone was just shopping there and happened to see it on the POS. These types of smooth and quiet moves will have you all clamoring for a piece of the pie as soon as the evidence becomes quietly obvious. We in the community make a habit of using the prototype app at Dunkin’ Donuts, chipotle, bed Bath and beyond, Nordstrom rack, Ulta beauty, Barnes & Noble’s Regal Cinemas, and many more less popular yet dominant brands in the physical retail world. You don’t get these types of companies willing to TEST your prototype without something real that can really save them money.
Might ONLY work on Coldcard. The passphrase field is not constrained by the BIP39 spec. So it's up to EACH hardware wallet to implement it however they see fit. Some wallets truncate it at 50 characters, others at 100. You will want to verify with Coldcard that your 60-80 character passphrase is not getting truncated. I mean, how would you know? Last I checked Electrum leaves the cap to python (6 GiB), so that might be a good thing to check your method against. Ensure you get the same results on a TEST with coldcard and Electrum. I know for a fact that this is too long for Trezor BTW.
DO A TEST TRANSACTION before sending everything. If fees are too high for the specific crypto you want to send, convert to a stablecoin (USDT for example) and transfert using a cheaper network like Tron or Matic. Binance will tell you the fees in advance as you go through the withdrawal process.
Don't say how much you own. Hardware wallets have a backup option which you must do, and preferably TEST it. Coldcard is a good option and they have extensive documentation which covers everything you need. Trezor Safe 3 is a lower cost product. There is documentation and video guides available for everything and you should review it all to avoid "one mistake" situations.
Buy bitcoin in cheapest easiest way to you. Buy a good hardware wallet like coldcard. Be sure to read the documentation, make AND TEST your backups. If you don't know something you need to read and learn, not guess. There is no going back in time. You need to deal with things how they are today. Exchanges are a part of life now but not a requirement. Some like bisq do not need your identity info but are more complex to use. Read the newcomers FAQ post; it will answer a lot of questions and it's already there. No one will personally help you. If someone is trying to do that they are trying to scam you.
AND MAKE A TEST RUN (send a small amount first, see if it comes through) add the cold storage wallet address to a whitelist. cold wallet basics and what NOT to do is explaoned on my channel (NK I DO T SELL THINGS) https://www.youtube.com/@futurecash look for the wallets video
Congrats on finding your ETH, Coinbase is good to send to and can cash out with bank account or PayPal. Make sure to do a TEST send first and has to be ERC20. Do NOT send ALL funds on first attempt to coinbase, test about $5-$10 worth or whatever the minimum amount that is required. If successful, you can send bigger chunk increments until all is delivered to your coinbase.
If you’re getting into crypto….remember to do TEST TRANSACTIONS don’t send thousands away at one time. Yeah I believe in the technology but MAN do I believe in human error lol
$TEST - got rugged $TOSHI - we will see how this one plays out but currently down $ADA - the founder is insane but I might make some profit if I get lucky $ARBDOGE - made a 3x on this one $PEPE - lost my ARBDOGE profit on this one there are probably a few more that I don't remember
The same dude that posted: "Dec 13, 2022 REMOVE YOUR FUNDS FROM BINANCE IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS NOT A TEST OR JOKE." and who has tweets like this pinned: "I've attempted to sell all my ETH but unfortunately I still have some left in this wallet. I will be giving 69 ETH away every day for the next 8 days to one random person who likes or retweets this." "In 2018, I bought 10,000,000 Cardano tokens and then completely forgot about them. I found them today when I was doing a full audit of my crypto holdings. Because I do not want to hold ADA, I will be giving all 10M of them away to one random person who likes or retweets this." A very credible person
TEST Will you please let me know if you received my MOON tip. It was a fraction, Thanks
I will add when you decide to move funds ALWAYS DO A TEST TRANSACTION FIRST.
