WALLET

miboc4

If you lose/share your seeds you lose everything. DO NOT WRITE IT IN YOUR PHONE. DO NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF IT. DO NOT WRITE IT IN YOUR COMPUTER. KEEP ONLY COUPLE HAND WRITTEN COPIES AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE SOME WHERE SAFE. MAKE SURE YOU REMEMBER HOW MANY COPIES OF IT YOU HAVE AND EXACTLY WHERE YOU KEEP THEM. YOU ONLY NEED YOUR SEEDS IF YOU LOSE YOUR COLD WALLET. SO IF ANYWHERE ONLINE IS ASKING FOR YOU YOUR SEEDS DO NOT SHARE IT. YOU ONLY NEED YOUR SEEDS IF YOU WANNA RESTORE YOUR WALLET ON ANOTHER COLD WALLET. BEFORE EACH TRANSACTION DO A TEST TRANSACTION ( SMALL AMOUNT).

I looked through the pics your partner isn't showing his address of the wallet from his screenshot. THE WALLET HE IS SHOWING YOU IS NOT THE SAME ADDRESS YOU SENT TO! THIS ISN'T EVEN HOW CRYPTO SCAMS WORK. THEY CAN'T HIJACK THE NETWORK. YOU GOT SCAMMED!!! END OF STORY!!

Dude, just the Bitcoin airdrops alone mean that a FOUR WALLET man is packing some serious crypto... /s Its like an update of the analog classic 'how can I be out of money, i still have (paper) checks left'

MrRGnome

I'm informed, I've both read your publications and watched your interview. I find both very unsatisfactory. For example, How does a non-custodial wallet figure it is even remotely possible or appropriate that they block WALLET FUNCTIONS if users do not KYC? Instead of treating me like a clueless dope maybe you should consider that people such as myself have been shoehorning users your way for years, consuming all your justifications and nonsense, and are completely unsatisfied with it?

Here’s one of mine from early days: Draft: PAPER WALLET ============ End another day, passions left astray, yeah.. So much confusion in media’s grand illusion, no such thing as free.. Dividing souls for baleful goals, top greed feels no pain   Save my crypto, keep it safe.. paper wallet, my off grid escape Buy the dips, ride the highs.. to the moon my wallets fly Private keys on the chain, paper wallet make it rain   Global pressures, global fears.. watch the stars, the time grows near DeFi crypto heroes rise, glimpse a flicker of old money demise   Save me crypto, keep me safe.. paper wallet, my off grid escape Buy the dips, ride the highs.. to the moon my wallets fly Private keys on the chain, paper wallet make it rain   The future unfolds, a brand new theme.. as my paper wallet feeds, my sim reality dreams…

Ignorance with crypto will get you hacked I should know. I was using a hot wallet in 2021-2023 and got caught up in Sh*t bag ATOMIC WALLET hack. Lost 38,000. If you don’t use a cold wallet you will eventually get hacked. Trezor is the only cold wallet to use. Getting hacked was a wake up call for my ignorance.

YOUR SEEDPHRASE IS YOUR WALLET not device ,not pin ,not app/software or anything else. YOUR SEED PHRASE IS YOUR WALLET and you can recover it on a new device or any other device or wallet software.

roughly 3 million of bitcoins there are 21 millions of bitcoin out there (which about 19 millions were already mined) there are more bitcoins lost (about 4 millions) than bitcoin with corporation and that is WALLET INDEPENDENCE but lets not forget that these guys are legally dependent of lots of people.

jojowhitesox

I lost 0.75 BTC to the Celcius scam. NEVER put anything in these "banks", REGARLESS of the interest they say they will give you. I learned my lesson the hard way so you don't have to. GET A HARDWARE WALLET!

sevbenup

You probably shouldn’t have had $200k in a hot wallet if you don’t understand bitcoin. That may sound harsh but I say that because YOU ARE ASKING THEM TO RETURN THE FUNDS TO A COMPROMISED WALLET.

CipherX0010

You're not getting that back 😂 Next time maybe keep that much btc on COLD WALLET?

Somebody has access to your wallet... And you want the funds to be recovered TO THE SAME WALLET!? No wonder you got got.

Before anything else, understand that trading and holding are two totally different strategies and require two different mindsets. If you are long term, then stick to mostly DCA with some (once or so a month) buys and sells in a different wallet, not to exceed 10-20% of your total bag. Any more than that and you’ll wreck yourself. I have a routine, weekly DCA set up that I will not touch, but I also have a bag on the side that I play with. It helps to separate your accounts, like use one exchange for long-term and one exchange for trading. I don’t have any way of accessing my DCA bag without jumping through lots of hoops. My trading bag is on my phone and one click away. During downtrends, I go heavy into my trading wallet. Usually leverage. I am not afraid of zeroing-out my trade wallet. During hype, like this last touch of 70k, I’ll shave some profits. Once my trading wallet gets big enough, I’ll move some of those to the long-term bag. NEVER MOVE FROM LONG-TERM TO TRADE WALLET. The hardest part of all this is self control. It helps to put your long-term wallet in cold storage or something you cannot easily access. Transferring into my long-term is super simple, moving out of it is a pain-in-the-ass, as it should be. It’s designed to stay put for many years.

Your 24 WORD "RECOVERY" PHRASE IS YOUR WALLET. not device ,not app ,not pin. You need it in order to "Recover” your wallet ,thats how crypto works and there is nothing you can do without it. Absolutely no one can help you ,don’t fall for scammers in your dm.

solomonsatoshi

You appear to have a learning/comprehension difficulty. I advised OP to LEARN HOW TO OPERATE A HOT WALLET. and then LEARN HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN COLD STORAGE. There is nothing reckless about my comments and your hysterical response is entirely disingenuous and baseless.

Kendu is listed on 12 CEXs I believe, the biggest só far being Bitmart and LBank. You can also buy from Coinbase WALLET (not the CEX), crypto.com wallet (not the CEX) Metamask or use Uniswap directly. If you need something you can DM me, do not trust random DMs and links, please.

COLD WALLET. The only anst

SpecialistComposer88

The other answers are good but here's the TL;DR version  1. Wallet. A wallet is just that, it's where you keep your crypto.  Some good beginner's choices are Coinbase wallet for Bitcoin, or Metamask for other cryptos. 2.Blockchain. think of it as a network. You have the Bitcoin network, the Ethereum network, Binance, Solana, et cetera. 3. Exchange. This is where you can *buy* and *sell* crypto for US dollars(or whatever currency you use). It's very similar to a stock trading platform. You can also send crypto to and from your personal WALLET if you like, or simply leave the crypto on your exchange account until you are ready to sell.

SEEMS LIKE AN AMAZING PROJECT BUT (POWSCHE) THEY ALSO HAVE A COMPETITION IN THERE TELEGRAM WHICH REQUIRES YOU TO CONNECT YOUR WALLET TO THERE WEBSITE. THE SAME WEBSITE GIVEN TO ME IN THE GROUP CHAT.. WAS THE SAME WEBSITE PRIVATELY DMed to me from one of the admins. COULD BE A GREAT PROJECT!! BUT TO CONNECT YOUR WALLET TO SOME RANDOM WEBSITE YOU MUST BE A MENTALIST. MAKE A BURNER WALLET IF YOU THINK ITS LEGIT BUT I DONT TRUST IT ONE BIT

I need a GOOD COLD WALLET IMMEDIATELY. DM me for the answer, please, and I am SOOOO SORRY this happened to you.

Sutanz

If 2-3% yearly on crypto makes you do such dumb things and your reason to pick a wallet is the "customer service" you are doing it all wrong. Connecting your wallet to any service you see advertised anywhere is calling to be scammed. It doesn't matter if the ad is shown in your wallet as an NFT, on Twitter or reddit, you JUST DON'T CONNECT YOUR WALLET TO SITES YOU DON'T KNOW OR TRUST. Even less accept unknown transactions. You've fucked up on every level and this is only the result of greediness and ignorance.

briguy37

If the hardware wallet is designed and implemented properly, yes they are safe to connect to computers/other devices. With Good Hardware wallets it is not physically possible for the device to communicate the private key (or any form of the private key) to the device it is connected to. Instead, the private key stays inside the device and the connection to the computer is used to instead communicate other things. For example, you might tell it through the app on your computer that you want to send some of the balance to another wallet and leave the remaining balance in the same wallet. The desired transaction info would be sent to your hardware wallet through the connection, allowing the hardware wallet to know what you are trying to do and to show you the details of the transaction on your hardware wallet (e.g. making sure the addresses and amounts are correct) so you can verify them. This step is VERY important because if your computer is hacked you might think you sent it one transaction but the hackers sent their transaction to the hardware wallet behind the scenes without you knowing about it. Finally, once you have verified the transaction ON YOUR HARDWARE WALLET, your hardware wallet should require you to provide some sort of code/password to approve the transaction. After this, the signature for the desired transaction will be sent to the computer. THIS IS THE SCARIEST PART, IF THE TRANSACTION IS INCORRECT AND GETS EXECUTED, THERE IS NO ROLLBACK! Once the transaction hits the computer, that will then forward it on to the blockchain to be processed by miners, after which the transaction will be accepted into the blockchain and completed. The important thing to note about this is that the Private Keys to your wallet that can be used to create transactions to spend money from your balance is NEVER exposed to the computer. Instead, the only thing that is exposed is a Signature for a Transaction that you have explicitly Verified and Authorized.

Just hang onto it. It split just recently and is going crazy. When you get tired of it you can convert it to cash and put it in your bank. When using it as cash get the other account number and plug it in. DONT hook up. If you do have to hook up make sure you immediately unhook after a transaction. For BitCoin you should have a cold storage wallet to store it in. A good cold storage unit is FREE WALLET (FW). Cold storage isn’t used much for trading. Just transfers and purchases.

Grand_Deal_7813

Don’t know about Monero, but other than that, all the other coins are generally available on all major hard/cold wallets. Also, I would suggest investing in an actual hard/cold wallet, rather than just withdrawing to an online HOT WALLET.

shadyghxst

Bluewallet, Electrum wallet, Blockstream Greenwallet, Trust wallet, Safepal wallet, Exodus wallet. All these wallets are safe as long as you don’t do something stupid like give away your SeedPhrase for whatever reason. YOUR SEEDPHRASE IS YOUR WALLET ,not any device or app.

shadyghxst

This sub always pushing newbies into hardware wallets but I believe user knowledge on how btc works and safe practices is the most important and first step in self custody. I go on Ledger sub and there are people using these wallets who cant even check a tx on an explorer or don’t even know that "hardware wallet” is just an overpriced dedicated device used to generate your SeedPhrase which is actually the real wallet and losing your seed it means losing your funds. Op I would advice you to download some hot wallets like BlueWallet, Electrum, Green Wallet, Exodus wallet, Safepal wallet etc and start experimenting with them. Learn how to write down your seed phrase and how to recover it. Eg you can generate a seed from bluewallet and then recover it using Electrum or exodus. The SEED PHRASE IS YOUR WALLET not any device or app. You can even send a small amount from your Coinbase into any of these hotwallets and then send to another hot wallet on your phone just to see how it works outside of exchange accounts. I learned a lot about Btc by downloading and using hotwallets , they are free . When you understand how It works you can even make your own cold or air gapped wallet with a phone without buying any hardware device.

Hey, I'm experiencing something similar to this, except they sent fake usdc to their wallet I'm using polygon. I sent 1 usdc to my other wallet to test, success. Then I sent the rest of usdc again, success. A few minutes later, a new transaction shows on my page. Same amount of my usdc but fake usdc. I don't know how the scammer could send fake usdc from MY WALLET to their wallet with a similar address. When i check the history. This fake usdc never ever entered my wallet. It only shows a single transaction out. Minting?

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())

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.

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.

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 recommend downloading the WALLET GUARD extension

Stop using Atomic wallet. They had an inside job that drained many of there wallets and then brushed it under the rug. Many post about this in their sub where deleted and if you mention this, they typically ban you and remove your post. STOP USING ATOMIC WALLET.
