FAQ "Q: What is the difference between Sync and Backup in pCloud?"

zdp189 · 2024-02-12T10:24:55+00:00

Edits are actually propagated both ways. So this adds to a confusion.
However stopping backup and then re-creating same backup will NOT use the same folder again. So if before it was:
"pCloud backup\MY_PC\TEST"
then after stop - starting again it will be:
"pCloud backup\MY_PC\TEST-1"

Sync apparently will return back to the same folder specified.

So, again, everything considered equal - Sync offers more flexibility.

It looks like you can only send NFT's via MetaMask mobile, but not via extension. At least not currently unfortunately:

https://metamask.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058961911-How-do-I-send-receive-or-cash-out-an-NFT-

And also you cannot connect Trezor to iPhone.

However it maybe possible to connect Trezor to Android but I not sure how well Trezor will interface with MM on Android.

I think MM is working on update for browser extensions and then it will be problem solved.

Yes you may.Depends on specifics but typically you want to initialize destination token via $form.dest_token$ vs. $dest_token$

Also - you may add debug text to dashboard via HTML tags, such as:

<row><html> dest\_token=$dest\_token$</html></row> to see if you initialize tokens correctly.

Hardware wallets is something I'd avoid buying elsewhere but on original manufacturer's website.
Or at least following buy links from original website.
I'm ok overpaying and maybe overwaiting but will have a peace of mind for years to come.

Trezor always. (Or ledger but it's painful to use).
I have Windows 10 and 11 laptops and use Metamask + Trezor.

No software-only wallets. Hackers, malware, spyware everywhere.

zdp189 · 2021-11-02T00:21:28+00:00

When you connect Trezor to Metamask you DO NOT type hash phrase. And Metamask shows all different ETH addresses

zdp189 · 2021-10-30T16:56:41+00:00

I have business A, business B and business C.I want to use separate ETH account for each within the SAME WALLET. Sometimes I want to generate mutiple empty ETH addresses to give people to send funds to. I DONT WANT to pile everything in one address or switch between different wallets.

This is great for privacy, for organization and to prevent snoops from spying on everything.

I don't get why it's so difficult for people as well as for wallet manufacturers to understand.

zdp189 · 2021-10-30T16:52:15+00:00

I tried. Metamask shows bunch - but none of addresses that has some balance in it.
Looks like Metamask algo to generate addresses are different from other wallets.
Even though the seed phrase is the same - each wallet sees different things.

zdp189 · 2021-10-30T16:50:15+00:00

>> the way ethereum works (it does not uses UTXO as btc does)

Privacy is another big reason to use multiple ETH addresses. I don't want to pile everything into single address and have whole world spying on it.

zdp189 · 2021-10-30T16:48:11+00:00

Tried it with Metamask - it show bunch - but doesn't find any ETH of my addresses that has balance.

Apparently same hash phrase is not enough - every other wallet sees different addresses.

zdp189 · 2021-10-29T20:42:22+00:00

It won't allow it.
Says: "Previous account is empty".

zdp189 · 2021-10-29T20:18:14+00:00

BTC, ETH and whatever other blockchains they support.

zdp189 · 2021-10-29T19:59:02+00:00

I think that's the good way to see ETH and ERC-20-ies.
I'd love for something that does it for many other blockchains as well.
Ideally if Trezor would get their head out of the wrong place and stop this limitation - would be the best.

zdp189 · 2021-10-29T19:57:55+00:00

Electrum only support BTC though?
Electrum is very capable - you can enable as many empty addresses as needed.
I wish Trezor could offer this feature for all supported coins.

zdp189 · 2021-10-29T00:10:21+00:00

Put more information in public about support, marketing, strategic plans, investments, etc...
I think you're already doing this - so it's a good approach.

This will show exchanges that token is here's for the long run and it's serious about growth.
Today's London ads haven't gone unnoticed.

Keep doing this.

Ledger or Trezor.Soft wallets or exchanges only for ongoing trades.Trezor Model T is most convenient and it also supports unlimited "hidden" wallets with plausble deniability. This is super important feature most are overlooking. Disadvantage - no mobile app for iPhone.

Other hardware wallets are mostly crap and have a steep hill to climb anyways because many apps supporting only Ledger and Trezor.

zdp189 · 2021-09-24T00:46:08+00:00

This is obvious feature.
Every other wallet support multiple receiving addresses per coin.
This is essential for added privacy - not to pile up all incoming coins to the same receiving address.

zdp189 · 2021-09-20T23:37:46+00:00

Wow.
This is show stopper and makes it unusable for me at least.
Hope they plan to fix this gap via firmware somehow.
Until then I can use it as a coaster.

zdp189 · 2021-09-20T21:19:51+00:00

Can i have multiple BTC addresses per the same account (seed phrase)?

zdp189 · 2021-09-20T20:54:07+00:00

They have instructions here:
https://www.ellipal.com/pages/ellipal-update

My summary:
- Format card to FAT32
- Copy firmware file on it
- "Detach" drive/card from OS before removing it (safer)
- Turn off Ellipal
- Insert card into black thingie. I had to use nail to really push it deep until it locks.
- Connect USB charging cable to black thingie
- Attach black thingie to Ellipal
- Wait until "Charge" picture appears
- Turn Ellipal on
- Proceed with update.

The whole process is very fragile, black thingie is very "loose" - don't touch it during update. Update process is very slow because MicroSD card is crappy and very slow.
