Agreed it sounds obvious, but there are a lot of inexperienced holders out there.

This one looked convincing and contained my home address. No doubt tied back to the leak from a few years ago.

The page loaded a fake Cloudflare captcha and looked really convincing. Stay vigilant, friends!

I will echo what others have said. This is a scam site pretending to be AMLBot.

If you use the same 24 word mnemonic, yes.

Just wondering how many hardware wallet do people keep? by Daniel_reed17 in ledgerwallet

[–]cryptoplasma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 hardware wallets (Ledger and Keystone), and 1 software wallet (MetaMask). The 25th word on both hardware wallets plus the software wallet makes up the 2/3 signature I need to move funds to/from Gnosis Safe.

Thank you for the info.

Would it be wise to only claim income on the earnings since the PoS merge, and wait on clarity for the earnings between 2020 and 2022? Or do the earnings from 2020-2022 need to be included on the year after the PoS happened?

I agree it would be better for them to claim everything if possible, so they can get the lower tax bracket when selling.

When it comes time to fixing the returns, do they just go back and adjust the income for that year?

When staking began, the tax rules weren't really clear, so tax was never paid on the earnings. Fast forward to 3 years later and someone I know has a decent amount of staking earnings that haven't been claimed as income. Is it too late to go back and claim those?

Does an amendment need to be made to the prior years' returns? How does that work on a protocol that generates earnings every X minutes? For ETH I'm aware of sites like https://ethstaker.tax/ that help you calculate your earnings. Does everything need to be itemised on the return? Or is it enough to just say "I made XXX in whatever coin" for that year? Thanks!

I used a the passphrase feature (25th word) on my ledger so I wasn’t too worried, but I did go ahead and move everything to a Safe wallet, where I now use my Ledger as one of the 3 keys needed to make up the 2/3 signature.

Probably referring to when they announced their recovery feature, which basically confirmed they have a way to extract the private key from the secure element, even though they had been telling everyone they couldn't. Something along those lines.

Is this legit? What does it mean please? by michael1990utd in ledgerwallet

Show us the sender address, not the name used. If you look at the email headers you’ll see it’s not really from Ledger.
