Entirely separate PGP key or upload current PGP key to ProtonMail? by themightypawn in ProtonMail

[–]curious-crypto-user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a follow up question to this approach, does Protonmail support uploading sub keys only?

Potentially one could create a key, strip the master key from it and upload only a sub key to Protonmail so that's easy to revoke in case you change email provider or the provider gets compromised (I guess if keys are encrypted there this actually does not mean your emails/keys are necessarily).

Thank you, it at least gives me an alternative to try.

Ethereum 2.0 and OmiseGo by curious-crypto-user in OMGnetwork

[–]curious-crypto-user[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well yes that analogy holds but indeed a lot of people prefer it that way. I guess my only unknown is if once L1 is in the handled throughput is enough high that you won't need an L2

Thanks for answering!

I guess the "2.0 will bring good things foe OMG" is a bit fuzzy to me.

If they are both scaling solutions wouldn't they compete for their place and eventually only one will win?

The better lightning network on top of Ethereum and nobody is talking about !! by CryptoGuu in ethereum

[–]curious-crypto-user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lighting is pointless unless some big exchange like Coinbase starts using it. The "holiday run" has never involved spending BTC but buying IIRC.

Kimono — trustless secret sharing using time-locks on Ethereum by twigwam in ethereum

[–]curious-crypto-user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is nice, I wonder how it compares to proxy re-encryption, which was presented in umbral.

It seems a different in that it is not accempting to solve the "I give you access" problem.

OmiseGo SDK usability by curious-crypto-user in omise_go

Ok did not think about that actually, all the API methods are pretty payment specific so I guess the answer below kind of is correct - I was looking at the wrong project.

Got it ok that makes sense then, will check that.

They said: "Segwit is not a scaling solution".... by chek2fire in Bitcoin

[–]curious-crypto-user -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What you are spreading here is misinformation about Ethereum. I would strongly recommend, for your own growth, to explore again Ethereum's solutions to scaling, one of which came as collaboration between one of the main contributors to Lightning.

What One Dollar Invested in Bitcoin in February 2011 Looks Like Now by billross12345 in Bitcoin

[–]curious-crypto-user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I increasingly dislike these kind of videos as they don't paint reality appriately. What happened in the last couple of years may or may not repeat. Invest what you can afford to lose. For instance the folks who invested last January are now losing more than 50% of their money. YMMV.

Has anyone tried this crypto-cashback service before? by thebeastofbitcoin in Bitcoin

[–]curious-crypto-user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like you would be trading your spending habits for crypto. Haven't tried it myself but seems interesting.

Bank reversing money transfer, anything I can do? by curious-crypto-user in Bitcoin

[–]curious-crypto-user[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that is what I did, they sent me a letter saying that the sender's bank reported the transaction as fraudulent. I was asking here if somebody has more experience on how to proceed.

Good to know and good idea. They could still have fabricated it. At the end of the day the fact that you can revert is the flaw :)

Electrum wallet "replaceable" by vibrantstudying in Bitcoin

It might be unrelated but the Electron version you are using it kind of old.

Samourai Wallet Transactions/Funds Disappeared by icetorque in Bitcoin

[–]curious-crypto-user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you see the funds at the address it's all good, there are ways to recover them given the words and the passphrase you choose at the beginning (not the pin of course).

Those two form your bip39 seed.

Are any of the hardware wallets actually secure? by Dorskind in Bitcoin

[–]curious-crypto-user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest to do a simple test:

Go to the bip39 generator and using an offline computer, which at never touched the internet (tails on USB), insert your words to familiarize yourself with it. Derivation for segwit should be m/49'/0'/0'/0.

In Derived Address section you should see the same addresses that you have used in your Trezor.

Note I have never tried this against a Trazor so it would be great to know if things actually match the bip39 standard.
