🟨 $ZACHXBT — REAL SIGNAL 🟨 On-chain doesn’t lie. Over $26.7K in creator rewards generated — and still active. That’s real engagement, not hype. Aligned incentives. Fees flowing. Community building the right way. Shoutout to @zachxbt — the values speak for themselves. Quiet setups like this don’t stay quiet for long 🟨🚀

@zachxbt if your data was leaked in the original ledger leak, and you kept using ledgers you deserve this

Kamakura @KamakuraCrypto ·

@zachxbt best to just get a USB with TailsOS and persistant memory and use it as a cold storage I guess or what else would be better then trezor or ledger? trezor open source atleast, fake name info could help a bit

Fascist Frieren Fan @PermaBull2024 ·

@zachxbt It's just more reliable to keep stuff stored in non hardware wallets now. ETFs are actually the safest for the majority of people. I hate to say it. Change my mind.

dorjidan @dorjidan ·

I don't deny that I defended Ledger when the first data leak occurred, even though I was a victim myself I think that some things just happen, and there's not much you can do about it but another data leak is unacceptable, especially from a company that bases its credibility on security shame.

@zachxbt Yep. A piece of paper hidden in a safe place is far more useful.

NeffXBT @Neffxbt ·

@zachxbt @de1lymoon Yes. For the address, we can use an office address, friend's address, or just a landmark where one can pick up from the delivery executive. The rest can be submitted randomly.

@zachxbt @de1lymoon lol, your advice Zach, if they catch you🤣 you meant to say "can't" by the way actually, I wonder why they say we should use those methods as the best for our crypto safekeeping; aren't those gadgets produced by a company

@1un4rPunk @ff_v12 @zachxbt @Trezor Good point... buy them with cash directly at a Ledger booth in a conference?

@zachxbt @de1lymoon Use their nano s versions, with absolutely no access to: 1) bluetooth or any wireless 2) no cloud access And strictly stay away from their recently advertised “cloud key restore” service. Never ever trust any of those even if their name is big in the space.

Danny @Trezor @Dantoshi ·

It is meaningfully different, because it was (unfortunately) only e-mail with Trezor. Still bad! But not the same. With e-mail you can also switch easier or use a throw away address. We try to reduce third party dependencies as much as we can and esp. when it is about physical addresses and phone numbers. It's quite painful to do this stuff in house and this global-e third party for localisation for selling globally is something we all do in-house.

@zachxbt @BoredElonMusk I like Ledger, but this is getting ridiculous. How many times has this happened in the last year or two? If I remember right, this makes at least three. At some point, it doesn’t matter how good the wallet is if they keep getting hacked and exposing customer information.

@rabizzzy @zachxbt @KeystoneWallet i like the product but the two concerns are 1. its quite large 2. supply chain issues with being made in china haven't used a keystone enough to be able to comment on the user experience

rabib @rabizzzy ·

@dr_zircuit @zachxbt @KeystoneWallet the distinguishing feature is that it's airgapped so you don't connect it to anything. so curious what the concern is re: supply chain
