just hold your cryptos on airgrapped hardware wallets/ devices
BTC PSBT (partially signed bitcoin transaction) are beautiful
so you do not even need to trust ledger or any company
I recommend a simple 5$ Raspberry Pi ZERO (WITHOUT Wifi & Bluetooth)
you can easily build a SeedSigner (lovely devices but wasnt able to upgrade yet) so you dont even need an external mouse/ keyboard/ screen
have fun and stay safe :)
Well, that is a good way to hold secure crypto, and a seedsigner could well be a solution to transacting (I dunno. I don't have one or know more about them than you've told me). However, that doesn't mitigate the security issues that we face from Intel IME, Meltdown, and Spectre, all of which are unpatched presently, to my knowledge. Even if our crypto or other monies aren't at risk because we've wisely put them in hardware wallets, our identity can be used to make money in a variety of ways, and anyone that can use our computer and keys for accounts we post from can spoof as us and obligate us financially.
For example, people often use online services to file their taxes. Imagine if someone filed a fraudulent return and sent it to the IRS from your computer, while collecting the refund on your behalf at some other address. The first thing you'd know about it would be the IRS audit. Unless you could prove your computer had been hacked, and maybe not even then, you'd have no ability to prove to the IRS you hadn't sent in that fraudulent return.
Botnets are also a terrible burden on society, and the net, and we should not enable our computers or IoT devices to be used to DDoS folks.
Thanks!
yea, man in the middle attacks..
also works in our juristical/ law system
heard about the Mortgages on foreign houses/ lawn ?
I have the idea that lending is a somewhat universal process, but I get that idea without ever having borrowed or lent money across borders. What are you referring to?
