Re: Question about Change & Receiving addresses
by
Forsyth Jones
on 07/05/2025, 20:45:07 UTC
Try importing only the receiving descriptor in Sparrow Wallet, like this:

Code:
wpkh([6ac77e84/84h/0h/0h]xpub6D9yC3ibKEDbLjV8fcF1AmQyBXuKErT13KeW4cVTqS7e6XmaoEMzJeU1gyHUUHwMx5F6utw4VkSB416rXrPCgRi1tLWxSHbZoWjv281oEKc/0/*)#hrntfr65

You don't need to import the change descriptor, Sparrow wallet will automatically calculate the change path using the extended public key.

See, in my case (using another descriptor I just generated for testing) Sparrow correctly imported both receiving and change addresses from the descriptor containing the xpub:

Eu tenho a Ledger, é consegui uma SafePad numa promo.

Mas, realmente uma é mais do que suficiente. A menos claro que a pessoa queria redistribuir por mais wallets o seu portfólio.

Agora a comprar eu ia para o Tezor, parece interessante. Mesmo assim acho caro. Algo na casa dos 60€ já é mais do que o suficiente.
SafePad? Nunca ouvi falar dessa wallet, não seria safepal?
Trezor é boa, tenho a Trezor model T e funciona comigo há 5 anos desde à aquisição. Bitbox02 também é uma ótima wallet.
Eu recomendo ter mais de uma hardware wallet, pois quem tem uma não tem nenhuma, eu tinha 2 trezor, eu perdi a minha trezor one e estou só com a Trezor model T, não pretendo fazer o upgrade para os modelos mais recentes, porém estou começando a pensar em fazer minha própria hardware wallet DIY com a Krux ou adquirir uma coldcard q.

Ainda não tive tempo de me aprofundar nessa treta, então por mim, continuo deixando do jeito que está, no ano passado estávamos tendo um hype enorme em cima dos runes e ordinals, parece que essa hype deu uma amenizada e retornamos com a mempool e taxas.

Porém navegando no "X", ví este tweet que menciona:

Os executores do Knots estão censurando transações financeiras. meu nó rejeita todas as conexões com o Knots. Dane-se o Knots e qualquer um que o utilize. Knots está censurando transações de privacidade, como o coinjoin p2p & payjoins , Stealth addressing Bip 47/PayNym.

O Knots é um node alternativo que rejeita o OP_RETORN, ainda não me aprofundei na parte técnica referente a isso de como que ele censura transações com coinjoins e outras alternativas de privacidades citadas no tweet acima.

Re: Bitcoin Core 29.0 location & security basics

If this is a concern for you, I recommend that you enable Tor in the Bitcoin Core settings.

I don't know about Windows (I think it's easier on Linux), but on Linux the steps to run Bitcoin Core over Tor are as linked below:

Setting up a Tor hidden service
TOR SUPPORT IN BITCOIN

15. Bitcoin over Tor[video] - This tutorial helped me a lot

Is it possible for a bad actor to work out where my node is located, thus making me a target for physical burglary?
By default, Ubuntu is secure enough (assuming you're not specifically targeted by someone with tons of resources). Even Ubuntu help page only mention very common advice[3]. If you don't want your IP address known by other full node and any website you visit, VPN should be good enough. But take note some some VPN provider doesn't take privacy seriously.
For his purpose, it doesn't matter if the VPN takes privacy seriously or retains logs. In any case, his real IP will be hidden. He can go with any of the current top VPN providers and it will suffice for this use case.
No need for VPN, just enable TOR.

The user is the biggest vulnerability and not the OS, regardless of hardening. You won't get hacked if you don't do anything wrong on desktops either. Mobile wallets lose out on privacy concerns and more limited features in comparison to some desktop wallets.
Some wallets like BlueWallet, Stack Wallet and others allow you to add a custom server, such as an Electrum server (electrs, EPS, electrumx etc) connected directly to your full node.

Optionally, you can enable Tor on these mentioned wallets. It's always best to prioritize wallets that offer privacy-enhancing features.

Zack Herbert CEO of Foundation, the company behind the well known Passport line of wallets recently shared his belief that "seed phrases may soon be obsolete". He said that Foundation is already working on developing of the seedless wallet. It should be mentioned that other companies have already entered this space. Notably, Tangem and Cypherock X1 offer alternatives to seed phrases. I have Tangem 2 Wink
In theory, the seed would be split into three parts - two on physical cards and one on the user's device (like a phone). But what if I lose one of these cards or the phone? I'd still need to exercise the same caution as with multisig wallet keys or shared Shamir backup shares.

The user will still have to save things and it won't change much that people will continue to lose things.
Do you have an official statement from Passport about this? I checked their blog but couldn't find anything related.

Re: How many [btc]-addresses can be created for each seed phrase?
by
Forsyth Jones
on 05/05/2025, 22:35:49 UTC

But each family member will have their own seed phrase. When generating a new seed phrase, of course, you can create millions of BTC-wallets, but this creates a problem due to the increase in the number of seed phrases (all this needs to be saved).

The point is to be able to create the maximum number of addresses with one seed phrase.
If you haven't read it, I recommend visiting my thread about BIP-85, a smart way to unify backups by storing multiple mnemonics derived from a single seed (master) that solves this problem.

Of course, there are different types of btc that can be used, which will increase the limit of available addresses. But, for example, in signature campaigns, the segwit type is used and with frequent changes of campaigns, for example, this limit will be quickly exhausted.

If we also take into account the undesirability of reusing the same address, then the limit in BTC-addresses will still be quickly exhausted.
What are you concerned about? Are you referring to the "limit" of addresses that Trezor Suite can reach - gap_limit or are you actually concerned about the end of addresses generated by an extended key?

Re: Ledger teria cartas falsas?
by
Forsyth Jones
on 05/05/2025, 20:59:07 UTC
Então, por exemplo, se eu nunca tiver recebido uma carta da Legder e do nada aparecer nos meus correios uma carta desta empresa pode ser golpe? Mesmo se eu já estiver uma conta, e no passe de mágica receber uma carta posso desconfiar?

Qualquer coisa relacionado a cripto que chegue pra mim eu considero golpe.

Nao clico em nada. Ninguem vai me mandar dinheiro por email, entao eu diria que é seguro deletar praticamente todos os emails relacionados a cripto que aparecem.

Se viesse uma carta na minha casa, eu ficaria bastante preocupado, pois eu não dou meu endereço para nenhum serviço relacionado a criptomoedas. E sim, 90% de chance de ser golpe.
Eu fico imaginando, esses caras provavelmente obteram os emails e endereços daquele vazamento da ledger em 2020-21.. ou a Ledger deixou vazar novamente os emails, seja com o sequestro do co-fundador da Ledger ou em algum outro momento, se esses bandidos conseguiram os endereços daquele vazamento de 2020, os bandidos estão muito confiantes, pois já se passaram 4 anos depois deste vazamento e muitas vítimas já podem ter mudado para outro endereço e etc.

Imaginem o perigo que essas pessoas sofrem, os caras possuem até mesmo o endereço físico deles... correm até mesmo o risco de serem assaltados e/ou sofrer tentativas de sequestro se os bandidos observarem alguns padrões, seja por tentativa de phishing e outros e filtrarem quem tem mais BTC/Cripto.

Por isso que eu recomendo, ao comprar qualquer coisa relacionado a BTC, crie um novo email que você usará só pra isso.

Eu já estava procurando essa tua mensagem quando vi que você me parabenizou  Grin. Se passaram algumas semanas mas já estou de volta! Uma ótima campanha e um gerente melhor ainda! Espero te ver comentando e apostando com a gente no tópico do Brasileirão!  Grin E nunca desistam pessoal, uma hora dará certo!

Postarei sim, voltei a acompanhar mais meu time e outros esportes também.

Se não me engano ainda tem 3 vagas em aberto para Legendary na BetBolt, quem estiver em busca de uma campanha é só aplicar lá.

Aconselho ficar de olho na campanha da bet105, visto que 2 participantes foram aceitos nessa que estamos.
Parabéns a vocês dois por ter aceito, eu acompanhei este casino quando ele postou seu ANN, parece que tanto o ANN quanto o casino foi feito tudo por uma pessoa só, o dono. Quando ele postou o ANN, eu ganhei um bônus de $5 para jogar/experimentar o casino, o Bônus era limitado para os 50 primeiros que o solicitassem e fornecessem um feedback válido sobre o casino. Recomendo ficar de olho nos tópicos de ANN dos casinos, podemos acompanhar algumas estrelas em ascenção.

I noticed that you've a ranking system that doesn't require you to wager as much to achieve.

Out of curiosity, I just logged back into the casino and saw that I had some bonuses to claim (due to my previous wagers that I used with the bonus provided). Your rakeback system is quite generous.

My GingerWallet syncs to my Bitcoin Core node v28.1 and I haven't really observed any sync issues so far. Contrary to your setup I use my GingerWallet only as a hot software wallet, so no hardware wallet connected.

What is the sync counterpart in your case, an Electrum server or Bitcoin Core or Bitcoin Knots?
In theory, I make sure to run bitcoin core (v28.0) to ensure that transactions sync across my node. I forgot to point this out.

I have both wallets (both created by gingerwallet and hardware wallets). However, I haven't transferred any funds to the hot wallet yet, so I'd like to test that as well.

I had a quick chat with the team and they informed me that your withdrawal has been enabled. Can you please confirm and update the thread?
thank you very much!Withdrawal allowed!
i will delete topic or close as resolved after i get my money
It's great that everything has been resolved (or is in the process of being resolved), but what was missing was proof that the funds came from an exchange (as you yourself claim), this would have given more credibility to your complaint.

You showed your personal email in the screenshots, if it isn't for exclusive use by the casino, be very careful when sharing/showing your personal email, scammers may try to send you spam and other scams.

As Cointxz commented, you provided screenshots that didn't show the entire conversation with support, in short, everything could have been resolved more easily, you could have recorded the screen scrolling through the messages you had with support.

Anyone having sync issues? I have a wallet (connected to a hardware wallet) on GingerWallet, but it doesn't show the most recent inputs, all of them are inputs from just one address, as they are signature campaign payments (4 new inputs are missing).

Every time I reopen the wallet, it shows the same result, the same happens when I sync. I deleted the wallet and restored it again, the same problem happens.

The wallet doesn't sync fully since previous versions, I'm currently on v2.0.18.0

I thought about GingerWallet hiding balances on the same address to avoid reuse, but I didn't find anything related to settings.

It was great working with you, you were extremely professional and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to be part of the BetFury campaign. I hope we can work together again, whether on this or in future projects. Soon after this post, I'll start using the signature of the campaign for which I was selected.

Re: Hot vs Cold Wallet Cryptocurrency
by
Forsyth Jones
on 03/05/2025, 19:08:33 UTC
My question is, this is how it works similar to a hardware wallet, we make transactions then need permission on the device that stores the private key to sign the transaction and then broadcast it again on the online device.

If there is a method like this, why do most people buy hardware wallets, are they easier to use or safer than the methods above, or do they just look like they have a lot of bitcoin assets if they have a hardware wallet?  Grin in my country, many influencers suggest buying a hardware wallet because of the security issues of local exchanges, and those influencers suggest not to store assets of more than 1btc on the exchange and if it is still below 1 btc it is okay to still store it on the exchange, as written above (not how many assets are stored but how long the assets are stored in the coldwallet) I agree with this.
Because a hardware wallet is already a unique device for signing transactions in isolation and is presumably more secure than a hot wallet.

Also, if you don't have a second PC/laptop or an old notebook, buying a signing device like Passport, coldcard mk4/q, bitbox02 can be cheaper than buying a new computer just to sign offline transactions. Many air-gapped hardware wallets have a camera to scan QR Codes, so it's easier to sign the transaction on the hardware wallet and then transmit the signed transaction to the online device.

Also, if you don't have enough technical knowledge, you can end up compromising both your online and offline devices where your keys are stored. With a hardware wallet, there's presumably less chance of this happening (unless you compromise the seed phrase by writing it down somewhere online, you should write it down on non-propagable media such as paper, steel plate, etc.)

I recommend hardware wallets for both beginners-intermediate and veterans, for me, the only basic requirement for a hardware wallet is knowing the importance of the mnemonic phrase, passphrase and an amount that is sufficient for you.

Don't you have the passphrase and PIN from the file? If you do, just import the backup into the bitcoin wallet app and it will ask you for the passphrase and PIN (if you have enabled them).

I never use wallet by schildbach ( Andreas Schildbach), but have you tried reading recovery guide on https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/bitcoin-wallet/blob/main/wallet/README.recover.md? If your text based file is human readable or doesnt contain weird character, it's probably in Base58 key format.
Optionally, you can decrypt the backup by following the above document and/or following the instructions in various topics:

[HOW-TO] Export Bitcoin private keys (in WIF) from Bitcoin Android (schildbach)

Has anyone here been able to decode the backup of bitcoin wallet (schildbatch)?

If the backup file is protected by a PIN code, you need bitcoinj to decrypt it.

We can only thank eXch for all its contributions to the bitcoin community. It will leave a huge legacy and we will be in need of services of this quality, as it's unlikely that another company with such quality will emerge. It was a pleasure to use eXch's services, they are note infinity!

Regarding the list, I agree with satscraper, software wallets like electrum and sparrow are some of the best options for desktop, iti's much better to use my hardware wallets through the UI of these wallets. The same goes for Passport hardware wallet, which has been consolidating itself more and more due to its quality and robustness, although I would include more options like: coldcard, bitbox02 and trezor.

For mobile wallet for bitcoin, I would add bluewallet, green wallet...

Fiquei muito feliz com a conquista!

Agradeço a todos pela força e os incentivos  Wink
Parabéns pelo novo rank, muitas oportunidades virão, portanto, continue fazendo o que você está fazendo. Você recebeu bastante méritos nessas últimas semanas, é bom quando os nossos esforços são reconhecidos.

Caramba, jura que eu abri esse tópico e o primeiro não lido foi exatamente aquele em que você comentou que ainda faltavam 106 merits? Conseguir isso em pouco mais de 3 meses é sinal de que você está fazendo um bom trabalho. Bom saber que ainda tem gente recebendo merits por aqui... pois eu to na crença de que isso está cada vez pior nessa aba local.

Meus parabéns! continue assim que logo você se torna um legendário Wink

No mês passado até que rolaram bastante merits aqui na nossa aba, mas pelo jeito voltamos ao que era antes Cheesy.... vamos la pessoal, holdar merits não enche a barriga! bora ser generoso e fazer a "merit-economia" daqui girar... Não tem o lance de apoiar o comércio local? então.. bora apoiar a aba local  Cheesy e lembrem-se: é melhor compartilhar a riqueza do que lamentar a pobreza!  Smiley
Notei também que mês anterior, a circulação de mérito deu uma melhorada, bom, já é um bom sinal e fico na expectativas de que as coisas vão melhorar mais. Eu também estou ficando sem Smerits para enviar.

Não sei se já ouvi falar nessa Fold. Olhando rapidinho no site deles, parece ser um daqueles apps de fintech que permitem a compra e venda de btc, assim como facilitar o uso dele pra pagar contas e também gastar os satoshis por meio de um cartão de débito?

Interssante que eles dão até 2% de cashback para essas compras (1.5% pra usuários gratuitos e outros 0.5% extras para assinantes do "fold+"). Tendo algo assim por aqui e sem aqueles spreads secretos (onde é "0% taxa" mas o preço é 5% menor na hora de vender), com certeza eu usaria. Hoje meu cartão me dá pelo menos uns 1.7% de cashback considerando as milhas que eu ganho e vendo.
Primeira vez que vejo também. Lendo a notícia, o papel se valorizou, agora mais e mais empresas tradicionais estão ou fazendo reserva de valor/tesouraria ou empresas cripto (como esse caso) estão se integrando no mercado financeira, o que eles tem em comum é a narrativa: Bitcoin. Baseado na premissa de serem os primeiros a enxergar o bitcoin como uma ferramenta para aquisição de lucros (quem chega primeiro, bebe água limpa).
