Maybe an alternative method here would be allowing users to also sign messages with ethereum, as this an altcoin forum.

Is someone actually using signing and verifying messages on other blockchains?
I never heard about that and I never saw this was possible in all altcoin wallets I used.
I suppose this would be possible with bitcoin forks like Litecoin, BCH and others, but I am not sure about ethereum.

I know that people use metamask to sign stuff to log in. That can even be done with bitcoin using some wallets like UniSat (it is in my todo list to study)

It is also in my todo list make a tool similar to brainwallet to verify and a sign messages, which also accepts segwit (brain wallet doesnt)

Do you think people would use it?

I noticed nobody mentioned aqua wallet.

It is a good bitcoin wallet.
It offers an easy interface for lighting network as well. Not for high amounts , as it is not a hardware wallet.

And on the internet, there is not a single tool that can use the twitter video link and provide you the YT embed link so you can use it anywhere. I mean doing it is not so hard, but I think the demand for this tool is not so much, as people don't usually search for videos on twitter AKA X so that's why there is not such tool.

I agree. I found a tool that hosts the Twitter video online for download,  but I didn't thought about hosting in YouTube to share...

And even pasting the video file here, it didn't embed it. That works for you tube only..

A user lost $68 million after falling victim to a "dust attack". The monitoring platform Cyvers Alerts detected a transaction for 1155 WBTC.

The dust attack is used by attackers as a tracking system - they tag the victim's wallets with microtransactions. As a rule, such wallets have similar addresses (beginning and end). Due to inattention, the user can use it in the future for a reciprocal payment.

I think those  ethereum wallets are more complicated.  Só much smartcontracts ans authorizations everywhere...  they are easier to make a mistake. Look that the user lost wbtc,  not btc.

Anyway, lack of attention was very expensive for him...

Always thought that it does not matter which operation system, antivirus or wallet user uses, because he gets hacked not based on what has chosen, but based on what he did. Even if user has super protection system, one reckless click can change everything. I think it is enough to follow security measurements and be cautious, to safely store crypto. As nobody will hack you unless someone find out you have funds.

To a large extent, I share your opinion, because most of the incidents that happen to crypto users have nothing to do with the OS they use, but with the fact that they simply make a wrong move that hackers use to empty their wallet. So let's say a part of crypto users gets "hacked" because they save their backups (seeds/private keys) in e-mail or the cloud or as an ordinary text document on the desktop.

There is no doubt that Windows is the OS that is by far the most exposed to attacks, but even if it is another OS, it still boils down to the fact that it is not recommended to store your cryptocurrencies in desktop/mobile hot wallets. It's simply too much of a risk and that's why hardware wallets exist.

I agree that Linux is safer.  I hate Mac OS or any other Apple stuff  , the costs (price, lack functions, incompatibility) of having them are not worth any possible benefit.

Windows might not be the safer, but it is much better than it was 20 years ago. I am a Windows user since 3.11, and it is much better now.

It is safer, faster, more stable and the WSL (Windows subsystem Linux) is amazing...

As I use a hardware wallet  , I never lost any funds. I also hold some amount of money in metamask for years...

I think the problem is basically bad habits in the internet that most people have...

This is so funny and so well done. I had to share

I thought it was possible to embed videos here. Isn't it? Just youtube videos?

If anyone knows how, please tell me

Diversifying your investment portfolio requires that both gold, the dollar and Bitcoin be present. Otherwise, you may need liquidity, and then you may sell Bitcoin for about 30% of its real value. Therefore, comparing Bitcoin and gold is useless, as you need both in your investment portfolio.

I would certainly add Bonds and Equities in this diversified portfolio. SP500 has performed amazingly well in the last decades and it have a decent share of any portfolio.

It is also a good moment to invest in bonds from good companies or from treasuries as well, as the interest rates are very high.

I think users should be able to delete their bumps. At least after some time has passed.

Additionally,  there should be a limit for posting in certain topics.

For example, a user cannot make more than 1 consecutive post in a day. This would stop many useless bumps.
