Re: What you should need to consider before trading cryptocurrencies?
The most important thing is that you make up your mind that you just MIGHT lost the money that you are investing/trading. If losing this money won't affect your day-to-day life then Proceed. If you are gonna end up with a hell of a debt then Quit.
At the end of the day - it's your money. Your Winning or Losing won't affect us.

Just came across a reddit post which also mentioned this. To be honest, those who are advocating against btc are themselves crooked scammers. They hate btc but support the banking system lol.
These are vested interests.

BTC - proven record of value appreciation over a decade
Fiat - Also proven record of value depreciation over a few centuries
Choose your poison wisely!

The golden words in cryptos are
"Never sell 100% of your positions"
FOMO is real. 10 years in the past BTC was worth pennies. Today around $13k. I really hope to see where it all stands 10 years down the lane.
The growth is real. The greed is real. Mistakes can cost you fortunes.

Sorry to hear about your loss.
But I'm happy to see how bitcoin saved your day. Cards can be blocked but cash in hand can be robbed. BTC on the blockchain cannot be touched unless we are stupid. lol

To summarize:
Wallet - Electrum - Being used on VM with linux
Mnemonic - Stored on password manager && G Drive (encrypted)
Funds lost a few hours before OP accessing the wallet.
The points of failure that I can see are either your VM is rigged or Your password manager is compromised.
Kindly add any other details necessary.

These charities will get into hell lotsa trouble in case they accept donations from these hackers. Iff the hackers wanted to donate they could have just handed over cash anonymously. Why the drama?

?Re: Wallet lost after windows installation? Used portable version.
Do not mess with your hard disk now or write anything to it now. Sometime it is still possible to recover formatted data from a disk. Waiting to see what others have to say on this.
I intend to use the HW with Electrum and MyMonero/Moneroju.
MyMonero is not compatible with hardware wallets, as far as I am aware. For a desktop wallet you can use with a hardware wallet, you'll need to use the official Monero GUI wallet: https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/#windowsMoneroJu supports Ledger devices.
Yeah, looks like I've missed the promo sale.
Ledger frequently email out discount codes to previous customers to share with their friends, usually in the region of around 10-20%. You can usually find people handing out spare codes on the Ledger subreddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/.Alternatively, if you can wait a couple of months, the last two years Ledger have had a Black Friday sale. Last year it was 30% off, the year before that 50% off.
But in all honestly, I've been researching this Ledger vs Trezor topic all day. I still haven't figured out which one is better. First I was inclined towards Ledgers but then after learning that the Secure element part is not open-source - I've switched my opinion to Trezor. Then again after learning about the hardware vulnerabilities in Trezor (which are said to be mitigated via firmware updates) - I'm kinda lost in my way.
How do big Hodlers store their coins? Am I being paranoid?
From what I've read online - Ledger is partially closed-source and a bit difficult to use in terms of usability like upgrading firmware and reinstalling apps, installing/uninstalling apps, low memory etc
It is partially closed source, but most of it isn't. The firmware upgrade process has been simplified to the maximum. In the past you needed to connect, disconnect, and reconnect the cable again while holding a combination of buttons. They abandoned that and now you connect the device, click the download button, confirm that a serial code on your device matches with what is displayed on the screen and you are ready to go. Installing/reinstalling apps is a 1-click process, completely beginner-friendly. Since you intend to use it for Bitcoin and Monero only, the older and cheaper Nano S is good enough. You will have enough memory for a 3rd/4th app even after those 2 are installed. But, if in the future you want to keep 50 different coins on it, you can always uninstall one to install another one in its place. It doesn't affect your holdings in any way.
You just missed a Ledger Nano S/X promotion where it was possible to get a 20% discount on your products. It expired yesterday.
If you decide to buy one of these, Ledger often gives discounts on their social media. Sometimes it pays to wait a bit.
This is indeed a relief to my eyes. Yeah, looks like I've missed the promo sale. But it's good that I've discussed my queries here and learnt a lot of things I was unaware of.
