What is the optimal flow from exchange to cold storage? Is it best to stack a large amount before moving from the exchange? Or is it safer to take money off each week and consolidate like video. What steps should we take from purchase to cold storage that lessen fees?

@RhettReisman 6 ай бұрын

Yeah best to stack large amount on exchange and then move it all at once. I’ll make a video with guidelines

Liked and subscribed.👍 Question from the Newb corner, I’m confused by adding Sparrow wallet to the mix. I found the following alternate process online. Any reason in your opinion this alternate way wouldn’t work? In the ledger app: 1. Enter BTC account you’re hoping to consolidate. 2. Press “receive”. 3. Verify and copy the address generated. 4. Press “send” in the same account. 5. Set the amount to your total BTC balance. 6. Paste the address you copied earlier as the destination. 7. Sign transaction.

So did you move all your BTC our Tresor to your Sparrow wallet?or what are we looking at. Can you load from a Arculus wallet to Sparrow … I’m confused right from the start

@RhettReisman 4 ай бұрын

I’m using a demo wallet here. I’ll have a video out Monday showing you how to load a ledger into sparrow wallet - it’s 99% the same process as a trezor would be. Not sure about Arculus becuase they don’t have seed phrases afaik- prefer to stay away from devices like that.

Excellent video. My question is : When i send my bag to another HWW , it will automaticalLy create a UTXO consolidation ?

@RhettReisman 6 ай бұрын

Yes! Your 1 transaction over to your new hardware wallet will automatically create a new UTXO

@Alpacastan21m 2 ай бұрын

Once consolidated, should you include the consolidated utxo as well when doing this exercise for say the next 5 new utxos?

@RhettReisman 2 ай бұрын

Only if you want a larger balance. Ex you have a 1 BTC UTXO and 10 0.1 BTC UTXOs you could consolidate it all to 2 or you could keep 2 UTXOs of 1 BTC each based on your personal preference

Does Ledger Live automatically consolidate UTXO’s when transferring assets from an exchange onto Ledger. I’m finding it so hard to get my head around UTXO’s

@RhettReisman 3 ай бұрын

Ledger live doesn’t consolidate UTXOs for you. When you transfer bitcoin from Coinbase to Legder, coinbase’s on chain bitcoin transaction will come to your Ledger as a single UTXO. You can actually take the transaction id of that withdrawal from ledger live and put it into mempool.space and see that coinbase pays out dozens or hundreds of accounts in the same transaction as your withdrawal and your withdrawal is just a very small part of a bigger withdrawal. Hope that made sense.

Is it possible that early miners who might still have 5,000 BTC in a single address, would have this sum in a single UTXO? Is this why every year or so we hear of someone who moved $10M and their fee was $3?

@RhettReisman 4 ай бұрын

Yeah exactly - that's very possible

@EW-ty6qw 4 ай бұрын

Like many, I use multiple addresses in my wallet so people cant easy see my total BTC. Are UTXO's not basically the same as thing the different wallet addresses? And if I consolidate UTXOs to one wallet unused address, doesn't that cause the same problem of making it easy to see your totals?

@RhettReisman 4 ай бұрын

You can have many UTXOs in a single wallet address. Consolidating UTXOs has the issue you’re talking about where you are losing privacy, but you’re also optimizing for high fees - there will always be that trade off. I cover how you should navigate that tradeoff here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fpmoia-Q0cXScZc.htmlsi=_rKAdPMRNuZ8crSV

Questions : 1) those addresses . They appeared …how? On the Ledger I have only one address appearing when I want to receive sats from an exchange or someone. Confused . 2) why not putting immediately those UTXO into whirlpool that is installed with sparrow (I thinkzzz)? 3) once i used that famous address, and everything is batched into 1 utxo , i can then send it cheaply to my Cold Card or whatever…?

@RhettReisman 6 ай бұрын

Those addresses are every address my ledger can ever generate. By default it will only show you 1 at a time but once you upload the XPub to Sparrow you will see all of them You could whirlpool them, I've personally never used a mixer. Yes then you can send cheaply, or you can just send them to a coldcard or wherever instead of sending to another address on the same wallet

To preserve your privacy you want to select an address that has never been used. Any address that has been used before will have an arrow next to it. Using an already used address will work but someone else might be able to see your transaction.

@backtothebarky 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for this vid I've been playing with this on the test net. You go through the signing step to verify the address - why might it not be a valid address? They are generated by the xpub or seed or whatever so why is this step necessary? Should you also varify the next change address? If that was wrong and you sent 0.01btc from a 1 btc UTXO you'd lose the whole lot surely?

@RhettReisman 6 ай бұрын

Maybe you have a virus that is showing the wrong address on your computer - unlikely but possible. You should technically also verify the change address - again unlikely to be wrong but possible.
