Help me bring awareness to the new users and noobs like myself joining this community!

Fellow hodlers and traders, I hope I can get some help bringing some awareness to the new people joining this community A few months back, I noticed a very small deposit into my Hardware Wallet and made this post, (https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/hzsv83/received_00001_bitcoin_out_of_nowhere_into_my/ ). A great response from user u/almkglor suggested to use electrum with coin control and get rid of the coins. I didn’t have the time back them to really get behind the technology (I can thankfully) so I decided to leave the coins there and not move any in/out from the HW until I figure it out. Another users noted that even $1.11 is quite large for a dusting attack but maybe the amounts are increasing, etc. I stopped moving any coins in or out since that date just as a precaution and I started checking every transaction since I bought my HW and started noticing several larger deposits, some very recent, some older, small and not-so-small amounts. Is there a way to know if my HW has some sort of public address published somewhere I could look up and find out about some of those transactions? To try to figure out why im getting the deposits (not complaining at all but still)? What another type of information I can find out? I know for a fact I haven’t make any of the deposits below into my HW since July 28th, 2020 when I made the above post thinking one of the deposits was a dusting attack ​ https://preview.redd.it/61nxiw86xxv51.png?width=205&format=png&auto=webp&s=22bf326ae209ad52b86ac84626549a57a122a8cd https://preview.redd.it/ya071758xxv51.png?width=202&format=png&auto=webp&s=c880f63be79c6229b40110ac518e3fe15d2e1b00 https://preview.redd.it/408dk929xxv51.png?width=207&format=png&auto=webp&s=80fce0c4ff0e17bb1832bfec1791ce608a019506 A few small ones: ​ https://preview.redd.it/s598chlaxxv51.png?width=209&format=png&auto=webp&s=a5d136b08bb8cd8da88f82d395e5b4ecfbc2fdd1 ​ https://preview.redd.it/e3ppqhpbxxv51.png?width=210&format=png&auto=webp&s=544a21ad5cccf4867fd4fa075f728a4c0127a0fc I also noticed smaller ones, along with some deposits I do recognize as mine, could the transfer be getting distributed and showing as 2 separate deposits? Would it take several days? I wouldn’t think so. I do recognize this one: ​ https://preview.redd.it/l5zqohycxxv51.png?width=217&format=png&auto=webp&s=c4363e495be537d4b9057579eef80950b41b6f72 But I don’t recognize this other one a few days later ​ https://preview.redd.it/r70p1qrdxxv51.png?width=218&format=png&auto=webp&s=e206898cdec96d59f8339fc5628347b6808d34a4 Before I could spend some time and configure my Electrum wallet, I see the following post (https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ijcjax/1400_bitcoins_stolen_after_a_user_installed_an/ )about 1400 bitcoins stolen from a phishing attack to an older version of the Electrum wallet (some users stated it could be fake, but still) as a noob, how can we safely learn about the btc technology, where can we find legit information, tutorials, etc: How about the Ledger hack, are HW no longer safe? Which brand of HW do you recommend to store long-term? Which hot wallets do you recommend and why? What would an ideal setup look like, both hardware and software in order to safely be part of this community as well as contribute to the network. Any links on how to run a secure node? How to make money staking or forwarding transactions to nodes? Any experience investing in companies like blockfi (not advertising)or similar to earn interests, which one is better? submitted by /u/AlxndrMd1 [link] [comments]
