Long time since I have posted. I'm stuck here with the fact that last year, I connected my Metamask wallet (on Ethereum) with a web-3 website that used the Ethereum address (or its private key) to create a Bitcoin address. That way, I could use MM on Bitcoin.
No, you can’t. MetaMask UI still does not support Bitcoin, so all you will get is an address to receive payments, and when you want to spend from it, the problem will be. You also mentioned the web-3 website, which means that the private key is connected to a website and that website can record your private key.
Thanks for the suggestions. However, it's not what I'm looking for. Metamask can (nowadays) get you a BTC address thanks to their "Snaps" but this solution didn't result in the correct Taproot address. Therefore I think it has something to do with derivation paths.

Re: Generate Bitcoin address from Ethereum address via Metamask
Even they use same BIP and seed word list, you should never use two different wallet tools / softwares to import and use a same wallet seed phrase or private key.
Because they are built by different teams and one team can be good and another can be bad. By using one private key, one wallet seed phrase around different tools, you have risk to lose your coins anytime if one of those tools are compromised or have back doors.
Don't let your laziness makes you poor or bankrupted.
Thanks for the advice but I know what I'm doing, no worries. It concerns a hot wallet (metamask) while my funds or safe and sound on a hardware wallet. It's because I try out alot of new things and this time I forget to write down the web3 site I connected to, although I think it was generative (dot) xyz, it still returns a wrong btc address. What I'm looking for is a tool that allows me to change the derivation path from or a BTC private key or a seed phrase. The goal is to find the correct taproot address. Iancoleman's tool (offline) helped me on the way and Sparrow wallet too but Sparrow doesn't allow me to change a derivation path I noticed.

Re: Generate Bitcoin address from Ethereum address via Metamask
A much better way is to use the seed phrase and derive a bitcoin address using its derivation paths like m/'44/0'/0', m/84'/0'/0' and so on.
Thanks for the suggestion. So I download iancoleman's github page (mnemonic code convertor) and pasted my metamask seed in it. The thing is now that this convertor doesn't show Taproot addresses. Can I do something with the info I have now (e.g. BIP32 Extended Public Key) and introduce it in my Bitcoin Core wallet (or via cli)?

Re: Generate Bitcoin address from Ethereum address via Metamask
Never heard of any Web3 website that uses metamask with your ETH address(Privkey) to generate a Bitcoin address. Are you sure that it is a Bitcoin address? Do you know the 3 first character of your Bitcoin address? Legacy/Bech32 address?
Yes, 100% sure. I don't remember the format. Think it was or a Segwit (3) or a Bech32. I can't find anything anymore in Google.
Why not export the private key of this Ethereum address from your Metamask wallet and import the private key to any Bitcoin wallet like Electrum?
Or you might be talking about Zion here's their website btc.justsnap.io
I may try the Electrum part but I'm not sure for Zion's solution as I think it's an online form. Thanks for the help!

Generate Bitcoin address from Ethereum address via Metamask

Hey guys,
Long time since I have posted. I'm stuck here with the fact that last year, I connected my Metamask wallet (on Ethereum) with a web-3 website that used the Ethereum address (or its private key) to create a Bitcoin address. That way, I could use MM on Bitcoin. Now, today you can use these so called "snaps" on MM but that wasn't what I used. It was in the beginning of the Ordinals, think early last year. Appreciate if anyone can remember that website, even if it doesn't exist anymore

Re: I would like to offer Bitcoin as a checkout option.
For the love of Bitcoin, never ever recommend anyone to use Bitpay. They are terrible, incompatible with many wallets and will censor vendors and users on demand.
Coinbase is the same as bitpay. Maybe even worse, as you won't even have the privatekeys of your funds and they are strictly regulated, freeze account funds at will and so on
Same type of service, but Bitpay is by far a bigger sell-out and can't be trusted with anything.
And I've noticed that when checking out via the Bitpay-plugin, Bitpay wants me to create an account. Why should I want to do that!

Re: [ANN][ICO]🇨 Crypterium - Digital Cryptobank with Credit Token & Open Platform🇨
if KYC leaks this will harm the customer, indeed some projects look good, but for KYC business, some customers fail !, I hope Crypterium seriously takes care of it
Yup, exactly my concern. It's getting time for this "personal blockchain" containing our own personal info (verified by...) so we only have to show some verified hashes.

Re: [ANN][ICO]🇨 Crypterium - Digital Cryptobank with Credit Token & Open Platform🇨
Am I correct if I say that CRPT on Binance DEX can't be transfered to the CRYPT wallet (IOS/Android)? It's kind of wrapped on the Binance blockchain right?
Correct. Currently the wallet does NOT support BEP-2 tokens. Our team will be providing compatibility very soon.
Thanks Jeremie. Looking forward to that. Another question: users can link their bank account to their crypterium account via KYC. I hope that Crypterium doesn't create another bank account in the user's name in some other country? I've had that surprise before... Also, I hope that KYC info is really good taken care of (encryption, special access level, ...), unless you're using third party?

Following the temporary closing of all trading on Cryptopia, we have opened a new exchange listing next to the existing CryptoBridge. As previously discussed, higher volume exchanges are in the works, but none as actionable as lower volume ones, and we needed to open another market quickly to avoid trading centralization.
Again, please be aware that not all exchanges listed on our CMC page are endorsed, please only trade on the ones that you see listed on our website - https://gincoin.io/.
Great, however, it was my first experience with CryptoBridge and I liked it so far.
Question: can I use a shared cloud node for a GIN masternode?
This is just great news! If this happens, there will be a huge explosion. Waiting, gentlemen.
I wouldn't focus too much on that DX Exchange.
For one, its not being launched by NASDAQ, it just uses the NASDAQ trading engine. They are just mentioning it for marketing purposes.
Also will the exchange do KYC? If not then I would becareful because I don't think the SEC will allow trading of US securities on the DX exchange. Even if they do KYC, I still don't understand what loop-hole they went through to be able to allow trading of US stocks. This is very similar to CFDs and other derivatives. Maybe if it doesn't allow US customers it might be acceptable I guess.
Yes, DX.Exchange has an KYC procedure you have to walk through while registering. You have to upload ID's and so.
