WALLET

Out of curiosity, I went ahead and reviewed how Electrum does hardware wallet passwords. Basically it's the public key from the derivation `m/4541509'/1112098098'`. Here's a minimal bit of code to do the decode, assuming you can find the XPUB at that derivation. # python -m pip install setuptools==65.5.0 pip==21 wheel==0.38.1 # pip install libsecp256k1-0 electrum[crypto]@git+https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum.git@4.5.2 from libsecp256k1_0 import * from electrum.storage import WalletStorage from electrum.bip32 import BIP32Node DERIVATION = "m/4541509'/1112098098'" WALLET_FILENAME = 'default_wallet' storage = WalletStorage(WALLET_FILENAME) if storage.is_encrypted(): if storage.is_encrypted_with_hw_device(): # https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ # https://appdevtools.com/base58-encoder-decoder XPUB = 'xpub6ECc2hG3eExuXKFPxnfUkUuGPGcgrJoHMhej82VDRTFAe9syWg75QiWaKVC2rDnz567HNPSfjpPf74bfzgUMBSbeCbBRiL3DuJsx78J2W19' xpub = BIP32Node.from_xkey(XPUB) password = xpub.eckey.get_public_key_hex() storage.decrypt(password) else: print("no password provided") print(storage.read())

Blockchain.com is not “YOUR WALLET” Not your keys, not your coins. 🤷🏼‍♂️

ErmenegisSarchiavizz

completely illogical deductions. since the very first step is to spend fiat money from my bank account, the worst you could hypotize is that I could want to buy attack weapons with clean money without gvt noticing :D I'am joking, obv. the other stuff is nonsense. The money has just be taxed upstream : i just want to return the real owner of my money, seeing looming such shit like IT.WALLET and CBDC, political debanking and the abolition of cash. I don't trust CEX too, as they are government compliant. Understood now ?

POST YOUR WALLET, you coward

nyaaaa

There is no money on TRUST WALLET. > they work with a 3rd party which is changelly Because they get cut when stupid people use high fee services. > and they start asking for KYC after a swap When else? There is no before. Just use one of the big exchanges with low fees.

Regular-Cockroach-24

They money is on TRUST WALLET… they work with a 3rd party which is changelly, and they start asking for KYC after a swap… my friend sent all they ask for because he has everything legal and all they need my friend already send it but changelly is like a never ending story, they are know scammers apparently… they keep saying the case is under review… last week they told my friend he will get a resolution between wednesday and friday, he didn’t receive any answer yet. Tomorrow is deadline.

I'm not blaming you for anything. I'm saying what you're saying is wrong. The instructions at https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum are not instructions for building a cold wallet. They're instructions for building and installing Electrum. Nowhere in those instructions does it say "NOW DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE FROM THE INTERNET BEFORE SETTING UP A WALLET. BY THE WAY, HERE'S HOW TO SAFELY SET UP A COLD WALLET ON ELECTRUM." Don't project your failure to understand instructions onto me. My cold wallets are fine. You're the one who doesn't know what his own posts say.

INSTALL: a lightning wallet (mobile or desktop) of which there are dozens - search for, evaluate, install. FUND the WALLET: Transfer bitcoin to the wallet. TRANSACT: SEND and RECEIVE with public keys, ad nauseum, until you run out of gas. THIS IS THEE method for peer-to-peer transfer of bitcoin. MANY people are doing this.

Reminds me of finding an old file on my old computer called "BITCOIN WALLET". It was linked to an exchange in Canada that is now dead lol. RIP imaginary money. 

nassauboy9

Met my cousin two days ago to review some finance with him. He is very conservative on his finance approaches. After couple hours conversation, he said still does not see the value BTC offers. He cant make that connection to its like gold but with more versatility. If BTC is becoming a form of gold, or adopted by companies on balance sheet, or used by countries as currency, or being one of the most successful ETF by arguably one of the largest and dominating funds in the world ... LOL, yeah cant convince him and he is truly a smart guy by other standards. Our meeting was involving trust companies and holding companies and personal corporations and how to distribute wealth ... I just found is so odd that could not even convince him to OPEN a WALLET and let me send him a free 10$ of btc. I been in BTC since 2009 and all this time be telling him. In some cases I feel we just at the point where masses will start to be able to know about BTC and we shed that "its for illegal stuff" We shall see.

When you created a cross wallet position, you had to transfer funds from spot to Cross. The same applies for withdrawing. You first have to transfer it to your Spot wallet and then withdraw. You go to ACCOUNT WALLET, choose Transfer

cheerful_afternoon

I don't think you need to use new version of core. That qt version of yours is sufficient if I'm not mistaken. If it has console, you should be able to dump your private keys via that. Nevertheless, you can do it that way too. Download latest version of core, install and run. Upon first run, it will create a wallet for you in it's folder: wallet.dat Exit core, delete the wallet file it created and paste your wallet file in it's place. IT'S CRUCIAL TO ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR WALLET.DAT FILE SOMEWHERE ELSE IN CASE ANYTHING GOES WRONG. You could mistakenly delete your wallet, or over write it. It's best practice to have a backup. Let me know here in the comments if you need more help.

Great idea. I have 0.15BTC on an old PAPER WALLET ! It’s been there for a few years and it hasn’t moved. So it should be safe. No one has access to its private key

Do you genially have reading comprehension problems? How many times do I need to repeat myself - IM NOT TALKING ABOUT BITCOIN WALLET PROTECTION. I'm talking about how to avoid getting malware on your PC. This discussion is pointless.

Cannister7

Look. There's no other way for crypto to "get moved" than a TRANSFER. If someone gets your seed, they import your wallet, then they TRANSFER it out. If you sign a malicious contract that gives someone permission to drain your wallet, then the contract TRANSFERS YOUR FUNDS TO THEIR WALLET If you have a virus that replaces your copied wallet address with a different address and you don't notice... Then you accidentally TRANSFER the funds to their wallet instead of where you intended. Seriously, I have no idea why I'm getting down voted and you're acting like I'm the idiot. If you have crypto on your address on the Blockchain and it moves to a different address THEN IT'S A TRANSFER!! IF IT HADN'T BEEN TRANSFERRED THEN IT WOULD STILL BE IN OPs WALLET!!! So, your comment about 'it was a transfer so they must have your seed' is fucking stupid.

MakeItMine2024

Hello please tell me you keep it in a cold wallet. Hot wallet keys are only as good as the wallets provided is honest. I got hacked in 2023 where the wallet called ATOMIC WALLET swore not to save peoples keys but actually did just that on their servers where their security was breached and hacked out on June 2nd 2023 .. 5800 people lost 100 million in 15 minutes.. no passwords were used in the hack so access to keywords were the only explanation which they denied having.. hopefully you have a Trezor as getting hacked for 40,000 was significantly impactful as it was 30% of my annual take home income for 2023

Active-Deal-6123

When people say private key they mean the following: COLD WALLET, preferably TREZOR HARDWARE (Safe 3) OR LEDGER (Nano S). dont be losing the btc boy, thats 50 x 40,000.00 gbp. I would also reccomend 2 cold wallets. or even 4 cold wallets. Hide ur shit = the more the better Thats 50 x 40,000 gbp = 2,000,000.00 sterling. I would reccommend selling 10 btc just to get capital for yourself and retain the remaing 40btc across 4 hardware cold storage wallets. 40/4 = 10 btc per cold wallet. GL

RandomStoryBro

As someone who also lost 70% of my money in celsius.... you are absolutely right. To anyone new to the space: not your coins, not your crypto.... GET A COLD, CUSTODY WALLET. Don't make our mistakes :)

Dettol-tasting-menu

Look. It’s all hair splitting. People always have their strong opinions: BMW vs Merc vs Audi. ANY HARDWARE WALLET is good enough. Even the most disliked one here namely Ledger. Any reputable one that get mentioned here is infinitely better than keeping your coin on an exchange. Just pick one and do it.

lbuprofenAddict

It’s common sense to the IRS that if someone is buying bitcoin every week from Coinbase (who reports your transactions to the irs), and is then sending that bitcoin to the same address/wallet every week, that it’s probably your wallet. Doesn’t matter if the blockchain doesn’t say “HEY THIS WALLET RIGHT HERE BELONGS TO ______”, it doesn’t take a lot to figure out who’s wallet is whose just by following the transactions

SmoothGoing

I did not miss anything. Coins are going to "MY WALLET." That's the answer OP should provide because that is where OP should send them.

You are getting a lot of misleading information. The way you would safely store Bitcoin is just natively. You generate a new Bitcoin address OFFLINE (from a safe method, obviously) and send your Bitcoin there. Then you can look at your wallet every day just using the public address or a Wallet tracking app. While the private key (to access your Bitcoin) never would even touch the internet. What you were using was a HOT WALLET. And also a hardware wallet that people for some reason keep suggesting since a few year is a MIDDLE MAN.

shadyghxst

- Download a mobile app wallet like BlueWallet, Safepal wallet, Exodus wallet , Trust wallet ,etc. - Write down the seeds from the wallet you’ve downloaded and make sure to confirm its all correct - Now send your funds from trezor to your newly downloaded wallet . - Wipe and Setup your Trezor again , write down the seeds and make sure not to lose it again ( YOUR SEED IS YOUR WALLET not device , not app ) - Confirm everything is correct and send back the funds from the mobile wallet.

The problem with this setup is where they're being sent to. It could be setup to send to send the funds equally to 3 different wallets corresponding to the private access for each individual. The problem with this is that if one individual died or lost their private key, the other 2 individuals lose that money altogether. They'll never retrieve it. It could be setup so that the 3 of 3 transaction sends the funds to a new 3 of 3 shared multisig wallet where they'll be able to draft their own transactions whereever they want and split the money how they decide. The benefit to this strategy is if all 3 people sign the transaction, then all 3 people must be alive and have access to their keys. The problem is a low risk of enacting the transaction with all 3 people to a shared 3-3 multisig wallet, and while the money is sitting there, and before they split the money, 1 person dies, refuses to agree to a distribution proposal, or loses their codes. If just one person messes up in this situation, they all lose ALL the money. -- As for the other benefit, the 3-3 tx would send to a 3-3 multisig wallet, the 2-3 tx would send to a 2-3 multisig wallet, and the 1-3 tx would send to a 1-3 multisig wallet. So there is some flexibility for codes lost or people who die before the funds are sent to a multisig wallet, but whichever tx they decide on and multisig wallet they choose poses a risk if 1 party decides not to agree to any distribution, dies, or loses their codes after initiating the first transaction to a multisig wallet. Now, I did a bit more research and it seems like my idea for a smart contract for a WALLET to move from 3-3, to 2-3, to 1-3 is not only complicated; it's impossible. Wallets can't have smart contracts as far as I can understand. Only transactions can. Here's my new idea, although it is much more complicated. Each party creates their own wallet that only they have access to. Let's say there are 4 people: A, B, C, D. There are 4 different wallets they own. I am person Z, so my money is in there. Their wallets have no Bitcoin yet. I would draft several different transactions. A tx equally distributing to all of them: ABCD. In case 1 of them dies or loses their private keys, I'll also draft tx distributing to ABC, ABD, ACD, BCD. In case 2 of them die or lose their keys, I set up txs for AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD. And in case 3 of them die or lose their keys, I set up txs for A, B, C, and D. This means there are 15 different transactions that need to be drafted. As for each transaction, every single one needs smart contract language to automatically change from 4-4 multisig, to 3-4, 2-4, and eventually 1-4. This is necessary, as the alternative is drafting 4*15 transactions... Ex: ABCD 4-4, ABCD 3-4, ABCD 2-4, ABCD 1-4, ABC 4-4, ABC 3-4, etc... So using smart contract language dramatically decreases the number of transactions to keep track of. Using this methodology, it prevents the problem of 1 party extorting another and refusing to sign the transaction unless they get a higher distribution (since only equal distributions are even possible). It also solves the problem of any party dying or losing their keys at any point in time. No funds are ever risked in limbo as they would be if they were ever moved to a permanent multisig wallet. The obvious con is the complexity of: - writing smart contracts that would transition a single tx from 4-4, to 3-4, to 2-4, to 1-4 over time - drafting the sheer number of transactions necessary to mitigate the risk of inheritors dying or losing their keys. If there are 2 inheritors, there needs to be 3 tx drafts. 3 inheritors= 7 tx drafts. 4 = 15. 5 = 31. 6 = 63. 7 = 127. This is all assuming equal distributions between inheritors. If there are varying distribution options, it increases this amount much more. It might be cool to create a software that could take each party's receiving address and public key and other necessary information to automatically draft all the possible transactions in a neat format with easily scannable QRs. Possibly even put each inheritor's name and have an option to click buttons to signify which inheritor died or lost their key, to quickly display the correct transaction which would equally distribute the money among the remaining inheritors receiving addresses. This would make it super simple for the inheritors who may not fully understand Bitcoin or may not be the best record keepers to figure out which transaction they need to use. Then the software could even show the block (and predicted date) when the chosen tx would be possible. For instance, an ABCD distribution would be available a lot sooner than an AC distribution would be, because ABCD can be done with 4-4 multisig, but the AC needs to wait for 2-4 multisig which may be several months or years later. But, there is one really big problem with this and all the multisig options. Inheritors could strategize with each other. For example, maybe C and D are really close, and A and B are not so close with anyone. C and D could choose not to sign the 4-4 multisig and wait until it reaches the 2-4 multisig to send all the money to themselves (CD receiving addresses), while A and B are still alive and helpless to stop it. But, this is the case with any decreasing multisig strategy.

Too long, too many "restart without blah blah blah." 1. Boot up your offline laptop. 2. Create two Electrum wallets, one for your new "seed phrase" wallet, and one for "import addresses or keys". 3. Type your private key in WIF format into the key-based wallet. 4. Pick a destination address from your seed-phrase-based wallet. 5. Using a SEPARATE ONLINE COMPUTER, create an online watching-only "import addresses or keys" wallet. 6. Enter the ADDRESS (NOT the private key) into the ONLINE COMPUTER WALLET. 7. Generate a transaction in the key-based wallet telling it to send the full amount, minus whatever mining fee you choose, to the destination address. 8. Save the unsigned transaction to a flash drive. 9. Move the flash drive to your offline computer. 10. Sign the transaction using your key-based wallet, and save the signed transaction back to the flash drive. 11. Move the flash drive back to the ONLINE COMPUTER, load the signed transaction, and send it to the network.

Crypto WALLET to crypto WALLET is fine and not taxed (or crypt wallet to an exchange). Swapping one coin for another IS a taxable event. You should be noting these transactions in a spreadsheet and using something like Koinly (I’m not affiliated with them, just a customer but have liked their service) to pop out the tax forms you need after linking the exchanges you use to their site.

I’m basically asking if your computer can do it all (music player, camera, browser, etc) without any external tools or steps to accomplish what you need to accomplish. Built in. You’re telling me that your computer can do it all, it just needs external devices that can help. You can buy a separate camera to mount, you can connect your mp3 player to get your music, and you can connect all kinds of external protocols for me to just say that my computer does all that, right out of the box. No external swapping/wrapping nothing. The layer 1’s you mentioned can’t do everything right out of the box like my computer can. I get that it can do it, but that shits clunky. Idk about you, but I don’t want to send my eth anywhere just to stake. Solana you have to trade your sol for a/b/c/d sol to stake. With cardano, I press 1 button and it stakes. No trading, no sending, no wrapping, no bullshit. On top of that, I can also lend out my Ada (since I never sent it anywhere or traded it for any wrapped bs) on a lending defi protocol and earn money on that. I can earn both staking rewards and interest **at the same time**. Name me a layer 1 protocol that can do that without a single coin leaving my wallet. No trading, no wrapping, no sending it to another wallet. You can’t. So your answer has to fulfill 3 requirements in order for me to be satisfied by your argument. Name me a layer 1 protocol that satisfies all of these arguments: 1. A layer 1 protocol (not built on top of another chain) 2. I shouldn’t have to wrap, convert, flip, trade, send… NOTHING, to be able to stake. As a bonus, 3. I should have my original coin in my wallet at all times, no wrapped bullshit coin IOU. THE COINS THEMSELVES SHOULD REMAIN IN MY WALLET so that I can sell, trade or do whatever I want, when I want.

I haven't heard such nonsense in a long time. As I mentioned, the internet is full of guides on how to quickly and safely purchase Bitcoin. Yes, if you use dangerous wallets like Ledger, you can lose it, but TREZOR or TRUST WALLET are completely safe. And yes, only 1% of Americans have BTC in their wallets, so it's important to alert them and teach them the correct procedure for buying cryptocurrencies. I work in IT security and I know that at least one ETF fund will be hacked within 2 years, 100%. This needs to be constantly repeated and explained how people should behave; there is no other way.

Sure, but that largely speaks to regulation, right? If you tokenized RE in this environment where people pretend "code is law" that is a non starter (of course "code is law" is not reality anywhere). There are plenty of benefits (potentially) to tokenizing RE. If RE was a token (and thus all prior ownership interest was visible) you could largely opt out of things like title insurance. Or, if you still had TI, because the history of title was easier to see the title insurer would charge much less to insure. Similarly, escrow wouldn't go away, but escrow could be much more automated and cheaper. Taking out debt instruments secured by the property would also be streamlined. An example might be a Mortgage on a house someone I own free and clear. Currently, if I want a mortgage I have to go make an application at a bank or mortgage broker. The bank is going to charge me a pile of origination fees, the bank is going to need to check on the title, the bank is going to need to check to see how encumbered the property currently is with debt and so on. Rarely do people shop around too much between banks/brokers. If the title was tokenized, prior inspection would be linked, value would be more knowable, ability to see debt encumbrances would be instantaneous and transparent, and overall the process could be more automated. More automated = competition to reduce prices. Beyond that the borrower would have access to people willing to fund part of the mortgage from all across the world and would be sure to get a better interest rate. Currently if someone steals your NFT the exploit is visible on chain and the police will try to find the person, prosecute them, and get you your NFT back (something that is really interesting that we are going to be seeing more of is if you buy a stolen item - even if you didn't know it was stolen - you have to return it to the rightful owner and it is the purchaser who is fucked). Obviously, there aren't too many law enforcement entities who have any idea how to do this, but more are starting to. The smart hacker, however, sells the NFT and washes the funds and never touches a centralized exchange. This is why stealing RE NFTs have no upside for an attacker. Everyone can see it is stolen and to attempt to utilize this token you have to go to the house and evict the rightful owner at which point you are arrested. In the scenario you mentioned with the hacker on your doorstep it wouldn't be that problematic. You were notified immediately when your NFT exited your wallet and made a police report (actually the hack never happened because of the robust safeguards wallets have in 2040 including a user set cooling off period before any transaction completes and you can void the transaction after the US legislature passed the SAFE WALLET ACT of 2036). The hacker was stupid enough to show up on your doorstep and was immediately arrested. After police department on chain experts (which in this year 2040 is the fastest growing major) looked at the transaction they identified that you had connected your wallet to a drainer address and the transaction was easily identified as fraudulent. Hacker goes to jail and NFT is returned. If hacker refuses then the old title is voided and a new one issued all of which is visible to future owners and lenders on your blockchain title.

Decide where you'll purchase it from. Create an account, if necessary. Avoid Robinhood and Paypal. Obtain a wallet. Get a wallet which allows you to generate your own "entropy," for example, by rolling a 6-sided die 99 times and entering the values as they're rolled. DO NOT LET THE WALLET PICK YOUR ENTROPY - people have lost their Bitcoin that way. You only have to generate entropy once. Be sure to properly and securely back up your seed phrase (your wallet will give it to you after you enter the die rolls). Buy Bitcoin. Send it to your own wallet. Repeat. Don't try to time the market - never sell Bitcoin with the expectation of buying it back later for less. Gamblers end up broke. Patient Bitcoin investors end up rich.

Part of reason why this community blindly buys and sells their crypto based on posts they see here and lose money is the same reason more than 80% comments have failed to realize that the fault is not ledger's BUT their CDN is compromised which runs a malicious Javascript when you connect to any dapp which is using Ledger connect kit.

Some mistakes I can recommend trying: - Sending assets to the wrong address (happens more than you can fathom) - Sending assets back to sender address (btc specific) - Sending assets to a smart contract address. - Putting the private key of your wallet in plaintext on disk or cloud and put 10 usd on there. Simple example of what NOT to do. General Advice: - Avoid shit coins: Fomo is a very real thing, lock your assets up and make it very inconvenient to get out. - BUY 3 HARDWARE WALLET!!!!!!!!!!! 1. Wallet for permanent investment (long term lock up), 2. Wallet for play money (fomo will drain this wallet for sure), 3. Backup for 1. - Avoid holding assets on exchanges. - DONT USE EXCESSIVE LEVERAGE! - Prepare for a flood of scams attempting to sim swap attack you. - If you get a DM from a lovely lady trying to flirt with you, imagine it to be some fat lard trying to scam you via romance scams.

Yup, I agree… this is why I personally tunned out from “simply bitcoin” channel. They turned into priced obsessed moon boys, like a different flavor of the trader bros mindset. I honestly don’t think they understand bitcoin either… their standard of “orang pilling” someone is opening a HOT WALLET and you holding someone else’s private keys etc… they never accounted for that “uncle Jim” “borrowing” his friends bitcoin to pay off some drug dealer, bad debts etc… they do not respect the process and would rather RUSH ADOPTION by watering and dumbing it down. I just can’t respect that honestly.

Of course it's a scam. You don't need to tell us and you shouldn't even mention the website, as all you're doing is giving them free promotion. You should've known better, and now you do. It has nothing to do with that particular site,. *any* site offering "lucrative returns" is a scam. Any site offering trading is a scam. ONLY EVER BUY BITCOIN FROM REPUTABLE EXCHANGES. THEN WITHDRAW THE BITCOIN TO A SELF-CUSTODY WALLET. Anything else is folly, and it's your own damned fault, u/ComedianCommercial78, for being naive and greedy.

You didnt ask for it. Plusbyou havent even checked your wallet in a long time right? In fact, WHAT WALLET?

Listen fucktard I wasn't shilling a coin. I was pointing out a WALLET. Loopring wallet is an ethereum layer one and layer two wallet with a DEX built in you mouth breathing jackass. You can F right off now.

Priority levels are not a real thing. There's a certain fee in sats per byte that will get you in next block. There is no fee that will get you confirmed in "6 hours" since NO WALLET on the planet can predict the state of mempools 6 hours from now.

This is a shit take, if that's the case, did you plugin your hardware wallet to set it up? HOT WALLET = KEYS ON PC = STOLEN CRYPTO ... USER STUPUD!

Good for you, next time, wait for market correction. Welcome in crypto, few words for start you may find handy: FOMO, ATL and ATH, COLD WALLET, Don’t ever: Share your seed phrase, EVER, Believe people wanting to help you, Trust too good deals.

If I can advocate two things it's going to be WALLET SECURITY and KEEPING YOUR EMOTIONS IN CHECK when trading and or watching your money go up and down cuz you will be be tempted to do things you shouldn't do. From that point it's riding the wave.

I'm starting to think that your issue may be reading comprehension. Paypal has an actual crypto WALLET now. So you can use crypto directly with any merchant and anyone on Paypal with a crypto wallet. You do realize that if merchants have a crypto wallet on Paypal, they can receive crypto from anyone, right? And it's all on the same account. &#x200B; And no I'm not lying, you can see the proof for yourself on Paypal's very own site how that works: [https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/how-do-i-transfer-my-crypto-help822](https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/how-do-i-transfer-my-crypto-help822) [https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/what-can-i-do-with-crypto-within-paypal-help893](https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/what-can-i-do-with-crypto-within-paypal-help893)

> Hey guys so I got this email from Bitrex saying I somehow have about $1300 in assets with them Bittrex doesn't send this email. > Issue is when I go to that website and connect my coinbase wallet What website? Why would you connect your coinbase wallet? If it's https://bittrexglobal.com/ that is the ONLY site, and it would never ask you to connect your coinbase wallet. You should NEVER connect your wallet to any exchange website. Does your email look like this? https://cybernews.com/crypto/bittrex-crypto-scam-former-clients/ If so, you are being scammed. DO NOT ENTER YOUR WALLET DETAILS OR CONNECT YOUR WALLETS ONTO RANDOM INTERNET PAGES.

STOP BLINDLY LISTENING TO RANDOM REDDITORS STEALING YOUR HOPIUM, EVERYONE KNOWS WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN. PRINTER GO BRRR, BEAR GO BULL, CANDLE GO MOON, MEMECOIN GO RUGPULL, EXCHANGE GO SBF'D, WALLET GETS HACKED, WIFE BECOMES X-WIFE, HOUSE GO FORECLOSURE, YOU GO WORK THE CORNER FOR A PIMP NAMED PAPA SMURF. Quite simple really... And yes, all caps makes it even more true.

What backs bitcoin is litteral freedom and power, freedom from government's bullshit antics. Freedom to hold your own money, Freedom to transfer any damn time you want! Oh! and the expecttion of that money getting transfered SAME DAY! No, 3 - 5 day bullshit. No, Oh! We flagged you for bullshit, guess you are not getting yor money. Oh yea, no bullshit requirements like "beneficiaries", "wills", "trust", other stupid ass buzz words. THE BENEFICIARY IS THE INDIVIDUAL THAT HOLDS A PHYSICAL COLD WALLET!

Guys - i appreciate the effort but please understand - ARMORY WALLET DOES NOT USE SEED PHRASES. the only information i have to work with is the original btc address i sent the money to, my wallet passphrase, and the Watch-Only Root Data and Watch-only root ID. so at this point im totally lost

12 billion market cap with no supply cap. already rank 8... buying this is insane, you realize around market cap needs to double for you to double your money, where the billions coming from, for a wallet??? like a WALLET. any shitcoin has a wallet since birth and their own blockchain, banano for example has onchain messanging, nfts, many wallets, free instant tx, is wrapped and available on about 6 other blockchains and swaps. barely 6 million market cap with over 5 years of community engagement. people invest in the most insane hype. like just pick any shitcoin with merit and you might actually double your money because buying hyper undervalued projects is MUCH better than clearly over valued projects that get hyped with the bare minimum news.. wow they have actually developed a wallet. and wow shit imagine having their own blockchain, that's crazy!

Who keeps 700k in their exodus wallet?! How many fucking times do we have to talk about this?! Not your keys, not your coins - DON'T KEEP YOUR SHIT IN A HOT WALLET. I'm so tired of hearing this shit.

>Does any of the above sound legit? Sparrow is on 1.7.9. That part sounds legit. However it seems you downloaded a fake version. The official Sparrow download page is here: [https://sparrowwallet.com/download/](https://sparrowwallet.com/download/) That 'Sparrow Telegram Group' is clearly fake. I'm sure you were led there by the fake version of Sparrow that you downloaded. It may have all started with that 'notification', although it's curious how you got that and they knew you were running Sparrow in the first place. Heres the thing. You shouldn't be using a Desktop wallet AT ALL. Maybe you had some malware that allowed someone to see your screen. They saw you had Sparrow, and made a notification pop up to download their hacked version of Sparrow. You should NEVER USE A BARE DESKTOP WALLET. EVER. And THIS IS WHY. If you want a free wallet, use a phone app. Phones are not prone to malware; apps run in virtual containers, and the app/play store is currated. If you use Sparrow, or Electrum, use them with a hardware wallet!! You are lucky it was *only* 900k sats. That was a cheap way to learn this lesson.

This is kinda cynical, but true. At least he hadn’t named .txt file “CRYPTO WALLET SEED”

Binance disgusted me on several ocations. Suddenly i have 4500 Ape-something-coin in my BINANCE ACCOUNT WALLET. They are worth 0$ they are still there after 2 years. If i'm stupid and try to sell them, the hacker that sent them to me can probably empty my wallet. They wanted me to go through KYC two times... My previous buy history is just gone on all the crypto i bought, so i can't check what i paid for it (android app)

Op please check that the matic is the official matic. You using metamask, and it is registering is a good sign but just check on the plyscan explorer that it shows the right token. Also just as an extra precaution check your revokes, and if this is an older hot wallet I highly recommend making a new one that you will never interact with. Congratulations on the big lucky win, please be safe as people will snoop your wallet, dm you scams, and try to hustle it away that you've claimed your a noob. Before making ANY moves if you at all feel uncomfortable, stop and ask. Can dm me if necessary I've worked full time in defi for 2 years. Use test transaction and lasty NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR SEED PHRASE OR CONNECT YPUR WALLET TO UNOFFICIAL SITES. CHECK 5 TIMES.

Let's say you have a trezor but this works with any hardware wallet (make sure it's open source). Let's say you have your trezor, generated a new wallet for yourself at that time. You wrote your 24 seed words and are storing them safe and secure. If you're using a [passphrase](https://blog.trezor.io/passphrase-the-ultimate-protection-for-your-accounts-3a311990925b) (you should), this will be pretty easy. You can use another passphrase for your daughter. You: 24 seed words + your passphrase Daughter: 24 seed words + her passphrase If you're not using a passphrase (again, you should), you can generate for her completely new 24 seed words (plus a passphrase). **BEFORE you do that, locate your backup words and test the ON THE HARDWARE WALLET itself**. Never type these words on a keyboard, always on the secure device. https://blog.trezor.io/test-your-seed-backup-dry-run-recovery-df9f2e9889

For a bitcoin wallet your private keys (24 words) are essential, "not your keys not your coins" is the most important saying with good reason. If you don't have these words you don't really own the bitcoin, meaning someone else holds your keys. In the last few years we have seen how dangerous that is: mt-gox, FTX, Celsius, Blockfi, and many many other exchanges where users lost everything. If you use a hardware wallet, then you generate the 24 words with the hardware wallet and connect the hardware wallet to your computer wallet (like sparrow wallet) So the hardware wallet only use is to keep your 24 words safe and away from your computer and the internet. If you generate the 24 word in sparrow wallet it becomes a hot wallet and that is fine for smaller amounts. The lightning network is kind of a different story. A good bitcoin wallet or any hardware wallet is never connected to the lightning network. These are two separate things. You have most of your bitcoin secure in your cold wallet, preferably a hardware wallet that is never connected to the internet (like a air-gapped ColdCard) The lightning network is by definition always connected to the internet and not as secure for larger amounts. I have set up my own lightning node, but that is a bit more advanced. I use it for smaller amounts and is not connected to my main bitcoin wallet. For you I would suggest setting up a mobile wallet like Phoenix wallet for lightning. Just keep it on your mobile but keep most of your bitcoin in your secure main hardware wallet. Good tutorials from BTC Sessions: SPARROW WALLET https://youtu.be/qJ\_SpQX\_YKw?si=vqc-LzUAIyLhVS9D&t=4 Coldcard (hardware wallet) https://youtu.be/FAYmE5-40PQ?si=6\_QywVbvHyYOxX39 PHOENIX WALLET (Lightning): https://youtu.be/cbtAmevYpdM?si=B-5sQ5vZjax8N5qa Good luck!

This thread is speculating (incorrectly) on the computational effort to brute force ONE DETERMINISTIC WALLET SEED when the 24-word mnemonic for that seed is known but the words are in the wrong order. If successful, the operator of such a supercomputer would be able to steal all the coins from THAT ONE WALLET. All other wallets are safe. Unless the wallet holds billions of dollars in assets, it's not going to be a profitable venture.

macsoft123

Some people almost deserve to loose all their sats.. who buys 1 entire BTC knowing nothing about the basics about how to store it, BRAGS to the world he has BTC… IN A HOT WALLET… and then.. after seeing people’s comments saying to get a hardware wallet.. goes and buys one…ON AMAZON?! 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 30k investment, doing ZERO research before doing it…

CorruptedCube

Not fully agree, but I do agree that people need to realise that they should own their coins. STORE YOUR COINS ON A WALLET.

Scam, DO NOT CONNECT YOUR WALLET!

SubstantialNet7089

Use strike or swan. Deposit the $2700 and buy bitcoin of set up a daily / weekly / monthly purchase amount, or just buy it all at once. BUY A COLD STORAGE WALLET and transfer your Bitcoin from the exchange to that.
