Re: Bitcoin payments in an online store
by
Forsyth Jones
on 19/07/2025, 22:32:57 UTC
I recommend using BTCPay Server, it's the best payments gateway, you can configure directly with your XPUB or hardware wallet, meaning you receive payments straight to your wallet. No KYC required.
https://btcpayserver.org/
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5525072.0

Shopify is nice, but has expensive rates, if you have skills or develop enough skills, you can leave a site as beautiful as Shopify templates and even more. Optionally, you can hire a professional to set up your store in WordPress, after that, the only spending will be with the server and other dependencies of your store.

Re: Should Coin Control be enabled by default?
by
Forsyth Jones
on 19/07/2025, 21:51:34 UTC
I confess I don't use coin_control very often, I rarely use it in Bitcoin Core, which already offers a satisfactory coin selection, in my opinion.

Moreover, Bitcoin Core's enabled Coin Control interface is extremely crude and ugly. Once enabled, there should only be a single button on the send tab for any user to use, similar to how some wallets implement this.

The enabled coin_control interface takes up a lot of unnecessary space on the send tab, everything could be replaced with a single button or something similar that doesn't clutter the UI unnecessarily.

Re: Treta na BitcoinToYou? Saques e suporte desativados

on 17/07/2025, 18:11:33 UTC
A história sempre se repetindo e o contexto segue intacto, toda corretora pode sumir com o seu dinheiro, por isso, assume-se que é melhor deixar o seu capital em sua carteira ou deixar somente o que for negociar no momento na exchanges.

Será que eles estão a esticar a corda, aproveitando a alta no Bitcoin, para com o dinheiro retido gerar mais dividendos internos? Tipo investir com o dinheiro dos outros...

Nós bem sabemos que isso vai dar porcaria. Infelizmente os que têm os fundos retidos, dificilmente vão o ver de volta.

Se não querem que as pessoas depositem dinheiro, desativam a função. Mas, ainda há quem deposite? Quem comunicado estranho.

Pois é, tudo muito esquisito, eu só espero que quem tem grana retida lá, consiga sacar algum dia. Vamos aguardar os próximos acontecimentos.

Acompanhei de perto a evolução dessas exchanges desde 2015 quando eu entrei no mercado, época marcada pela foxbit e B2U, o que será que anda acontecendo, o André já é rico (o cara tá no mercado desde 2010 e já movimentava centenas de BTC) não tem motivo pra roubar dos clientes e deixar a justiça na cola. Por que tudo isso está acontecendo?

I have been using Swapuz and CCECash.

I believe ccecash is better, however the fees are terrible high... swapuz has much lower  fees.

I always ask in the support about my addresses before seeing coins. Never had problems and I always send in batches of small amounts
Thanks for the recommendation, it seems like a good service. I'll add it to my list in case I need to swap again.

It's worse than that. They take your money without saying what's wrong with it and ask you to submit all private information about yourself and the source(s) of the money. Then they tell you to wait while they investigate. During that time, you are blocked from accessing your funds but the "tainted" and "questionable" money that got you in trouble was already sent out to another client of theirs as "clean" money with no bad history to it. 
This alone proves that governments and their right-hand men (banks, exhanges) don't care about your privacy, they just want to tax and monitor us. Not only that, they use tax money to reinvest it in more monitoring tools to tax the population.

Well, I lost my bet unfortunately...

Sorry for your loss Slow death, I can't explain it either
Flamengo and Botafogo played in the World Cup, had great games, played VERY well, and when they got back to the Brazilian championship, they went back to playing poorly and couldn't even score a goal  Roll Eyes
One day you're Flamengo, who competed in the Club World Cup, even beating Chelsea (3x1), and then returns to the Brasileirão losing to Santos F.C, a team relegated to Serie B in 2023.

Pure football juice.  Cheesy

Neymar finally scored a beautiful, decisive goal for Santos (not from a set piece). Could he be back?

Even for firmware upgrades or software updates, I don't trust the apps notifications. I just go to their official website by typing the address and update my software. Because on Electrum we have seen how scammers were able to send notifications on the apps that force the download of fake software or malware. So always need to verify the official sources. Because it's related to the funds, and we need to be very careful.


Isn't it easier (safer) to save the original link to your favorites and then use it every time you need it? Typing an address is error-prone and just one wrong letter can lead you to a phishing address.

Sending messages via e-mail and exploiting a vulnerability in an official app is something completely different. What hackers did with Electrum 7 years ago, if I'm not mistaken, was truly brilliant (for them, of course).
Yes, it was indeed a very well-executed social engineering tactic, but unfortunately, the lightning bolt of knowledge struck the wrong house, the criminal.

I don't remember exactly how this attack happened, as it was so long ago (if I'm not mistaken, it involved malicious servers exploiting a vulnerability that allowed notification pop-ups to be displayed to users, tricking them into thinking it was an Electrum wallet procedure).

Likewise, we must always be alert, identifying any non-standard procedures with these wallets (e.g., Electrum displays a message in the footer informing that there's a new version of Electrum, but the update is never performed through the app; instead, there's a link to the official website). Likewise, we must be careful with our hardware wallets, downloading, for example, the Trezor Suite from the official website (and preferably saving it in the browser), verifying that the software behaves as in previous versions, and always carefully reviewing the information displayed on the screen of these devices.

Everyone is already tired of knowing, never, under any circumstances, provide the seed phrase (or passphrase), even if the hardware wallet software is requesting it (because in this case it's a trojan pretending to be the official software).

Re: Why smartcards are the future of seed backups - Ledger R. Key vs Seedkeeper
by
Forsyth Jones
on 16/07/2025, 19:06:46 UTC
Passport Prime offers the optional and interesting backup scheme called Magic Backup that involves NFC cards. It doesn't store on cards the whole SEED. In fact the given SEED is split into three SSS-parts two of which are separately stored on individual cards while the third, encrypted part is stored on mobile with installed Envoy app:


Good point. I agree that Magic Backup provides greater convenience without sacrificing security using the Shamir SLIP-39 protocol, as long as it's an alternative backup option, as I still feel safer by annotating the backup seed phrases.

From what I understand, Prime's default for wallets will be SLIP-39, I hope BIP-39 continues to be supported, as I personally don't use SLIP-39.

The great advantage of Prime is that it comes with 3 NFC backup KeyCards, reducing the cost of an alternative backup for the user.

During the Passport Prime backup process, the backup includes not only the seed phrase, but also the app metadata (labels, etc.), 2FA credentials, and encrypted files. So, what is the capacity of each of these Backup KeyCards?

We’ve seen how Magic Backups in Envoy make recovering your mobile wallet effortless, with your seed secured by your device, backed up to your cloud and your settings backed up as an encrypted file.

Passport Prime takes that to a whole new level, as a personal security platform, it protects not only Bitcoin, but also 2FA credentials, encrypted files, security keys, extra seeds and more.

Magic Backups work differently here, and it’s important to note:

🔁 Passport Prime and Envoy each have their own separate Magic Backups.

Envoy Magic Backup secures your mobile wallet seed and app data.
Prime Magic Backup securely stores your Passport Prime app data and part of your Master key.
These are two distinct encrypted files, stored on the Foundation server.

BitMarxz is correct. Backups should be done as soon as the wallet is created to avoid further issues. Regardless of whether the software has automatic updates or not, be sure to download the wallet software from the official website. I recommend using a hardware wallet to store your seed phrase more securely (obviously, a new wallet should be created and should never leave the device).

Today I'm quite happy, how could I not win the weekly betfurry contest, my guess was right in the Last Character contest, I didn't expect it, I made it without thinking and it was right, but on the other hand I'm sad, my cellphone was lost and fell and I don't know where, making me lose access to my betfurry account, I've contacted betfurry Support and contacted them here to tell me the email I use, because I know the email cannot be changed, hopefully I will get a quick response and access the gmail I use, hopefully everything goes smoothly
You should make yourself a backup for each accounts that you use in casinos and emails. But as long as you've provided them with an accurate answer based on your email and account, it will be retrieved.

Don't you have any other cellphones or devices for you to log in your account or you've completely kept the record of your account through that phone?

Well, in good faith they'll help you with your account access again.
I have got my phone, with the help of email I found the person who found my phone, he is an honest person, thanks to him I can access my betfurry account again, I am really grateful to him, finally I can play again on betfurry
Glad everything has been resolved asyakashi, it's very bad to lose its own phone, because the worst than the financial loss is the personal information bomb that it represents, so it's crucial to act fast due to the risk of falling into the wrong hands.

It's essential to keep your phone encrypted, usually with a digital attached PIN password.

Also use a password manager and learn everything about it, there're several websites and videos on Youtube teaching its operation, I personally recommend KeePass.

Also, keep the habit of reading and watching Digital Security Related Videos, you don't have to follow everything to the letter, just the ones that best fit your threat model.

I can say that the reason why you noticed a visible difference between the Betfury platform and other crypto betting sites that you've been on is because the services being rendered on the Betfury platform are not just gambling, as I have mentioned before, probably before you commented on this thread, so I'm saying it again for emphasis.

 As you continue to enjoy your experience on the platform, do well to explore other features on it, as those will excite you as well.
One of the differentials I admire about Betfury is its cryptocurrency stake that has a generous APR for both the term (depending on the term and currency, the user gets up to 27% APR for fixed-term) and flexible.

Fluminense are super happier no doubt! They had a great run at FCWC , made a lot of money , made a lot of new fans and these money they earned will help them fight for Copa Libertadores right ? because I'm sure they will make some key transfers now or sell their important players in Europe to make even more money hehe.
Yes, that's true. After all, it's $ 60.8 million, it's much more than a lot of title out there. Now it's about to spending the money wisely for the club's good performance.

I found President Trump very cool to have handed the cup cup to the cast. Will the USA like football with the Club World Cup better?

I only watched the 2nd half of the end of the match of PSG x Chelsea, I was counting on PSG would win, but something happened and the victory for Chelsea was inevitable with unbeaten 3-0 victory in the 1st half. A match marked by much stress among players, violent fouls and even expulsion from João Neves after clearly pulling Cucurella's hair.

An incredible performance by Cole Palmer (2 goals and 1 assistance) and João Pedro (striker revealed by Fluminense).

I thought it was a deserved victory for Chelsea, being the first world club champion (new FIFA format).

Coldcard Q users - are you able to set up different wallets on the same device?  Meaning, can I set BTC aside for different purposes using the same hard- wallet?  Doesn’t have to have separate paraphrases

Yes, you can use different Bitcoin accounts by changing the account number in the derivation paths.
https://coldcard.com/docs/paths/
Not only that, you can have more than one wallet through the Temporary Seed (Ephemeral Seed), where users can store a temporary Seed. You must enable the Seed Vault feature to use it.

You can also access different wallets derived from your original seed through passsphrases (each passphrase accesses a specific wallet).

I recommend reading all the mentioned resources to use safely, dramatically decreasing the chances of operational errors.

Re: Wasabi Wallet - Total Privacy For Bitcoin

on 14/07/2025, 18:29:17 UTC
How do I create a Taproot wallet on Wasabi using Trezor? This has been an open issue for a long time but I don’t think anything has been done about it.
https://github.com/WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi/issues/13601
Unfortunately, on both Wasabi and Ginger (its fork), taproot addresses are only available for hotwallets, not for hardware wallets connected to Wasabi.

I can't verify this for you right now, but it's been like this since the last time I checked.

If you are looking for a way to use taproot addresses in your hardware wallet using third-party wallets as reliable as Wasabi, I recommend Sparrow Wallet.

Depending on the brand of your hardware wallet, most reputable hardware wallets provide support for Taproot through their official clients (Trezor suite, etc).

I'm not sure, but if you already have funds in Taproot addresses on a hardware wallet, Wasabi will display the balance, the only difference is that it doesn't yet support receiving to Taproot addresses, could someone confirm this for me?

Ashigaru requires a dojo node to be installed to broadcast and verify transactions. While great for privacy, it can be challenging for the more inexperienced.

Existe, porém o Bitcoin é um ativo ao portador, isso significa que quem tem posse das chaves é o dono dos Bitcoins e tem liberdade de movimentar quando, onde e para quem quiser, bastando pagar a taxa de mineração.

Porém se você quiser ganhar um rendimento pelos seus bitcoins sem ser através da sua valorização natural, você teria que enviar parte de suas moedas para alguém (uma exchange por exemplo), você pode trocar bitcoin por outra moeda, esperando que essa moeda valorize mais que o Bitcoin (trade), coisa que é recomendado se você tiver certeza do que está fazendo, como saber analise técnica, grafica e fundamentos do mercado. Não é muito fácil e você nem sempre sai ganhando.

Existem alguns serviços de leading (semelhante ao rendimento da poupança do banco tradicional), onde você empresta seus bitcoins e ganha uma % por um tempo (semana, mês, ano e etc), eu particularmente não recomendo, a menos que seja uma quantia que você queira arriscar.

Você pode oferecer produtos e serviços aceitando pagamentos em Bitcoin, dessa forma você não precisa comprar (trocar seus R$ por BTC) em exchanges.

Existem moedas (não o Bitcoin), onde você pode ganhar via staking, onde você bloqueia os tokens na rede (algorítimo Proof-of-Stake (P.O.S)) e recebe certas quantias (não costuma ser muito) do token por ter confiado suas moedas à rede de maneira segura (na sua carteira). A ETH, Cardano ADA aceita fazer isso direto de carteiras específicas (geralmente as oficiais).

Furthermore, I confess that I had several sync issues with my GingerWallet balance. Besides, my PC wouldn't allow me to install/run both software (Ginger and Wasabi) simultaneously, and there was some kind of conflict.

I had to uninstall Gingerwallet to install Wasabi. I really liked the idea of 2FA (Ginger) as an added security feature, but having my balance without sync issues made me switch back to Wasabi.

An important note is that since I already had a wallet created with GingerWallet, when I tried to open the same wallet using Wasabi, it was unable to open it, indicating the two wallet formats are incompatible between the two software. I had to re-enter my hotwallet's seed phrase in Wasabi.

As soon as I can, I'll test Ginger Wallet again and see if there are any improvements.

Re: How to import WIF format private keys into Sparrow?
by
Forsyth Jones
on 13/07/2025, 22:01:00 UTC
The issue here is that Sparrow doesn't support WIF import (until someone tests and proves otherwise) into either an existing HD wallet or a new import wallet (like Electrum). Currently, only a full node wallet like Bitcoin Core allows importing isolated private keys into an existing BIP32 wallet (they won't be part of the root key, but will be protected by wallet.dat).

See too https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5483885.0

When I can, I'll test it on Sparrow.

It would be a very useful feature, in my opinion. I always argue that users with a private key (e.g paperwallets) won't always want to sweep it first. Depending on mempool congestion, they'll choose to simply import it in a secure (offline) environment and will send it with the right to a change address, without having to create two new UTXOs (two transactions).

Wallet developers need to reconsider this key import issue; Bitcoin Core is perfect in this regard.
