• Another post on how to secure a seed passphrase

  Finally, a few words on how to actually do it. I will only discuss what I consider the possibile best way and this will not be an extensive guide, just an outline: 1. If you don't have it already, get Tails OS, the amnesiac live Linux distro. Tails is a well-respected privacy-focused Linux distro that can be booted up from a USB drive or a CD and runs directly in the RAM on your computer (i.e. The volatile... - Source: Reddit / 8 days ago

• Warning, might be a dumb question. What happens if the software you use to access the ledger goes down?

  The software doesn't matter. The hardware doesn't matter much. The seed phrase is the critical thing. I suggest getting a good physical backup, e.g. On steel (see: https://blog.lopp.net/metal-bitcoin-seed-storage-stress-test/) and get familiar with a backup software. For example tails linux (https://tails.boum.org/) which comes with Electrum, which is a free open-source wallet software which works with your ledger. - Source: Reddit / 14 days ago

• Cold Wallet Safety Best Practices - Single vs Multiple?

  Glacier Protocol (https://glacierprotocol.org/), but instead of using individual private keys, use Electrum (https://electrum.org). If you trust the Tails (https://tails.boum.org/) maintainers, you can use the Electrum installation that comes preinstalled with Tails.

• Can someone get into my computer from Omegle chat?

  There are browsers built for privacy and Operating Systems built around the same protocols. But in the end it all comes down to what information you share and what you're willing to give up for privacy. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

• do I need a USB stick or a wifi adapter? I'm really confused

  Don’t use Tor with a VPN, a MAC address changer is included and for the love of all things unholy just go to Tails actual website and read their super easy to follow instructions. The ‘problem’ here is you’re clinging to this sheet of crap. Stop doing that, forget what it told you and just go to https://tails.boum.org/. It’s not as hard as you’re making it out to be, you’ve just been lead astray. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

• Extra Layer of security via "quixand" sandbox utility?

  It hasn't been updated since 2020, if a project is unmaintained it will quickly be considered "insecure" due to the lack of security patches. With that being said, if you want to sandbox Tor, Whonix is a pretty reliable method of doing that via a virtual machine in pretty much every mainstream virtualizer. An additional layer of security would be using it in Qubes, since the Xen hypervisor is much more secure than... - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago
