And it's gone...

@mjglqw The Trezor firmware is Open Source.

Ledger Nano S has published source for many components, but important pieces are still missing (they have significant challenges because of NDAs on the secure element they use).  Supposedly more will be released this year.

Very likely to be your VPN.
Check ports / general internet access.

The last option is not secure.  32 bit key ids can easily be faked and have been many times.
Use the full SHA1 fingerprint to verify.

Just switch to a hardware wallet and make your life easier.

The malware can't make a Trezor screen tell you lies.

Do it one wallet at a time to ensure the never more than one loaded wallet is exposed at a given time.

Yep, everything is correct with this.
Disregard the "warning" -- gpg has a terrible UI.

Since you say it is a lot of bitcoin...

Electrum is the way to go.  Not Mycelium or another mobile wallet.

Here is a very high-level overview of the steps:

Creating the sweep transaction (online)

• Setup the hardware wallet (backup the seed, etc)
• Record the hardware wallet address it generated.
• Load the paper wallet address into an online version of Electrum (Keep the private key away from that computer, just the ADDRESS)
• Create a tx spending from the paper wallet address to the hardware wallet address.
• Save the tx as a file to a USB stick.

Signing the transaction (offline)

• Create a secure TailsOS on a second USB stick and boot into it. (make sure to select Networking => Offline from the welcome screen)
• Load Electrum (it is pre-installed)
• Create a new wallet from your private key (type the whole thing)
• Import the unsigned tx and sign it with your private key
• Save the signed transaction as a file back to the USB stick

Broadcast the signed transaction (online)

• Rebot back to your online system
• Load the signed transaction into Electrum
• Broadcast it

That sounds a lot harder than just paying themselves part of every block :-)
As long as users / investors don't care, this kind of crap will continue.

Did you ever get this resolved?

$100 / XMR yesterday... The only cryptocurrency you can buy on major exchanges with "privacy by default"... Hmmm...

Hi, whatever happened to this proposal?

Could not find a listing for Monaco Technology GmbH
https://www.moneyhouse.ch/de/search?q=Monaco%20Technology&status=1&tab=companies

The news article claims they are in Zug, Switzerland, so they should be listed above AFAIK.

I'd avoid until you have concrete evidence this is not a scam.

Hi Scheede


Don't worry, Kraken doesn't block you or cause any problems for having two accounts logged in with same public IP.
I've done this with my partner many times.
You can even use the same computer if you want, but use separate profiles in Chrome or different browsers.

+1 to this!

After yelling scam and posting all the screenshots, we then learn that OP created "180 cards with different and fake names".
He kinda forgot to mention that part... eh?
That is definitely scammy behavior and would cause fraud alerts and account freeze at any reasonable company.

Hi there, I'm enthusiastic about the idea, but after digging in a little more, I have some concerns about security / development of this project...

• The wallets page does not seem to mention Open Source, GitHub, compiling yourself, etc.  I found the source code on GitHub, but it hasn't been touched for almost a year.
• The website does not use https, so literally everything users see / download there could be replaced by a MITM effortlessly.
• The Android wallet is not on Google Play.  Instead it is just an APK file to download from the website (see item above).
• Did not find GPG keys or digests for the files, so installing any of these is really dangerous (especially for anyone who might have another cryptocurrency on the same system like people here).
• The Linux binary on the website has no file extension.  Not a big deal, but makes me wonder if anyone has ever downloaded and used it.

I have some questions about the economics / distribution, but need to read & think more.  :-)

Ethereum was selling ETH tokens used to pay for smart contracts on the platform.  It's true that the platform wasn't built till later, but Vitalik Buterin had a fantastic reputation for contributing to the Bitcoin community and for his technical competence.  If someone believed that Ethereum would later become a success, then the value of ETH would rise accordingly as the "fuel" of the platform.

These "Mycelium tokens" have no use outside of speculation/donation.  There is little reason to think the wallet will make a profit, but even if it does, there is no reason for the value of these tokens to rise accordingly.  If there was a direct tie between profits and dividends, then there might be a thin thread connecting the two, but I didn't see any.

Good luck with that if you can't even spell "Cryptsy".

+1 for JoinMarket (and perhaps TailsJoin getting a small percentage as well)

Would love to have gmaxwell take a look at the implementation and provide feedback.

Watching the code commits (https://github.com/darkwallet/darkwallet) seems to be the best way... the devs are not doing a good job on news updates and such.  But there is progress as you can see  :-)
