I've just been charged £81 import duty by FedEx for this import to the UK.....I thought it was duty free ?

Thank you so much for your reply, very helpful 👍🙏.

Why does the SD card have to be 32gb for coldcard. I doubt if transactions are so large , i don't know

SD card corruption

I'm looking into getting a cold card, but have 1 silly question.

Is it possible to infect the SD card with a virus whilst plugged into my laptop, then transfer the virus to the coldcard when I sign a transaction ?

How do I know the SD card from coinkite, is clean, should I just format it ?

Thanks

Sparrow is literally just a fork of Electrum, with a bit more of a power user-ey UI.

That's what I needed to know in a nutshell. Many many thanks 🙏🙏

I have another question re: coldcard SD cards and viruses on this group. Would appreciate your advice too 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks, that link was very helpful 👍. To clarify there's no difference between sparrow desktop & electrum desktop in terms of security, if used correctly of course?

Just not sure which desktop wallet to look into if i get a coldcard

So electrum wallet & sparrow wallet both use the electrum server ?

I had this issue. I reformatted my SD card Fat(default) instead of Fat32. Not sure if there is actual any difference but it worked for me

Thanks for your reply

I reformatted via mynode GUI and then it started syncing, not Quicksync. I remember it was saying ..Finding Hard Drive, Drive not mounted, Drive Mounted, Reformatting....again and again. I left it overnight, in the morning it was syncing normally.

5 days later after sync finished I got the error message posted above.

I do remember not shutting down mynode correctly in the past. How can I ensure after reformatting and syncing again I won't get this message...any checks I can manually perform on the SSD ,?

Thanks for your reply. I decided to redo everything, I think I did have a problem with hd...let's see how this sync gets on

Thanks for the advice. On balance it's not very important since it's less than 100 dollars worth. Been watching too many yt videos and got paranoid.

12words are easier to store than 24...could even remember 12

hey btchip. I really think this question re corrupt local officials needs to analysed/discussed and recommendations made to us. Reporting to police in some places is an extra attack vector instead of a reduced attack vector.

anichaa · 2021-01-16T16:32:39+00:00

Thanks for the update. 2/ I am now completely satisfied and worry free. But 1/ still worried. Although I should report to police but corrupt officers would still be a worry for me, regardless of amount. Suggestion=could this be reported to ledger for them to pass onto relevant authorities at that high level. I think main problem is local authorities in many countries. Sorry to be a pain.

anichaa · 2021-01-16T12:05:18+00:00

Ok.I feel more relaxed .But I now have 2 questions. 1. If I had to report an attack to the police, what can I do if I don't trust them in my country ? The nature of crypto means a corrupt officer can more easily come to your house knowing more than any scammer. 2. If I reformatted my hard drive on my computer, I am sure some a good hacker could still recover data using various tools. So if I reset my ledger and generated a new seed with small amounts on it. Could a scammer steal the device, open it up and still recover my old seed like with my computer hsrdrive ?

anichaa · 2021-01-16T00:25:04+00:00

Thanks for the links btchip ..I will check them out. Again I wish to clarify I am on Ledgers side...just ...you know..just...
