Topic: Security and Privacy Topics on Guides and Protection. (Read 284 times)

Since we work in online marketplaces, we need to ensure that we have the security that we will do well here and that we must first ensure that the wallets we use here, then our security as well as our currency means that  Will be safe so we have to be more careful about this so that we do not lose any of our money by working here

We should not get confused to differentiate between security and privacy, they are not the same thing, I will like if the lists can be in two instead of one, one for security and the other for privacy. Some people are more concerned about security but little privacy while anyone that cares about privacy will still be very much concerned about security. These are good topics to read though.

Almost all what are in your list will also be in this list which has been created many months ago, try to be using the search on this forum or search engine to first check if the topic you are creating has not been created before.

Good topics on security and privacy

Probably also add this beast of a thread concerning air-gapped cold storage by Sowik.

Topic: [Guide] Secure air-gapped crypto wallet storage method https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-secure-air-gapped-crypto-wallet-storage-method-2828437

Great work mate I think you took out your time to enlisting this topics in one post, this work of art would be very useful to those who haven't checked them out and also newbies, although I would have love to see how this tool you mentioned has helped you personally as a person in the community, many at time we may post tool we don't even live by, it's more explanatory to put some of it in a use case stating little advantages and the punishment if not followed.

If you make a topic about how to search in depth in the forum and find high-quality topics, we will find that there are many good topics and in many topics and sections.

Privacy is a valuable thing and therefore to use it you need to update your information periodically, otherwise you will find that your advice is outdated as governments/companies are working hard to collect more information about you.

In general, it is good to find someone who has not collected such topics.

Looks like Ratimov has already made a more complete thread than you before. Check the thread Beginners & Help Encyclopedia [UPD: +Electrum Board].

So far I don't know if you have any specific goals other than just wanting to list a few thread on security and privacy. So I thought it would be enough to have a Ratimov thread with a complete thread list. You will find many threads with different content in those threads as per your requirement.

All those threads constitute a great starting point for the user that want to take care of that particular virtue that express all his value only when lost: privacy. It is upon us to recognise such value before losing it.

You have contributed well but nevertheless, if any unscrupulous user does not take eminent security control measures to safeguard his mobile apps, computer and the sites visited with irrelevant downloads can place such user more vulnerable to attacks, it is better safe to work by prevention rather than cure, and this is ultimately determined by our actions and we find ourselves been responsible for such means we adopt toward securing our investment either with good or bad result at the end.

As technology improves scammers also develops strategies in so many ways, so I decided to research (dig dip) more in other to learn more on security and privacy in other to protect and secure myself which I will like to share with everyone in this forum, most of you must have know it and come across it but some doesn't especially the newbies who are having difficulties with security and privacy.
