We need to have topics of this thread categorized such as taxes, wallets, blockchain basics, how to swap, etc. Just a knowledge bank on crypto. I've seen a lot of good knowledge passed around in this thread and that search function doesnt always work.

I agree. Many of us are brand new to this, and I don’t need special hardware for my stocks, but i am very computer savvy.

I’m using crypto dot com and have a few grand in investments that I’m going to hold for a while (except Doge, gonna sell that soon...maybe.) but I keep feeling like I’m getting mixed info on storage.

Was about to pull trigger on a Trezor until I read a review that said the device failed or something, and if it does fail then you are SOL forever...as opposed to your Coinbase or Kraken or whatever account you use not being on the hook for it...gave me a pause.

thoghts?

I sent it from Bittrex straight to my ledger, I didn’t even know it was possible to have it both on and offline at the same time. :dwillhuh:

It wasn’t stolen till years later and by the time it was I didn’t even have Bittrex anymore, they closed my account (and took my 2000 ADA) because of NY residency.

I got the Nano S

How was it online and offline at the same time? And to steal it off your nanos wouldn't your Nano s need to receive the code and you confirm by pressing the button on it?


No disrespect, but this sounds like more of a user error than anything. If you had taken your private keys offline initially, and kept better track of your Bittrex, this shouldn’t have happened.

Get a hardware wallet.

Relying on anecdotal evidence compared to the vast majority who are having no issues isn’t a good investment. Just take extra precautions, dot your Is and cross your Ts.

How do you take your private keys offline?

I learned blockchain basics by watching hours of YouTube videos.

I heard trezor is the safest cold wallet, the ledger a few months back got hacked and a lot of users emails were stolen.

I don't use Trezor, but I don't think I'll ever use ledger again. I was getting a lot of text messages from "ledger" about my Ledger Nano S. I never clicked the links as I knew it was a hack/scam. I can't go back to trusting them right now.:manny:.
