101  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Please be careful when you download anti-virus on: May 30, 2024, 01:00:54 PM
So now it begs the question that if we are in crypto space, we should really be alert on everything we click and downloaded, even anti-virus software because we could be trick by going into this kind of websites and we thought that we are safe.
Sometimes, when you browse blogs and websites, you may be directly redirected to phishing sites that appear as pop-ups in advertisements. You might also find that fake antivirus programs, Cleaner software, or programs containing Trojans have been automatically downloaded. Indeed, people can make a significant mistake by opening and installing these malicious programs on their main computer used for cryptocurrency investments after feeling reassured by reading that the downloaded program is legitimate software from companies like Avast or Bitdefender, etc.

It is worth noting that scammers pour poison into honey. They create their malicious programs to impersonate the names of protection/security and maintenance programs and the like so as not to raise any suspicion in the minds of their victims and then easily steal their computers. Anyone must add browser extensions to detect phishing sites and block advertisements, avoid using their main computer online, and purchase dedicated hardware for their long-term investments.
102  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Kabosu (Doge) passed away. on: May 29, 2024, 09:32:47 PM
I'm surprised that no one posted it before, it happened 5 days ago already. RIP, that dog made more difference than most people.
Actually I saw the token kabuso being traded somewhere and been shilled by many CT, at first I was curious what token or meme was that cause I didnt know that the dog on dogecoin was named kabosu. RIP to the founder of all dog meme. Was it Elon Musk the owner of the dog or someone else known personality?
Kabosu's owner is a kindergarten teacher named Atsuko Sato, who adopted this Shiba Inu dog in 2008 after it was sent to an animal shelter. His picture became famous through her personal blog and then spread on Reddit and Tumblr to receive widespread support from meme lovers [Wikipedia].

It is worth noting that Kabosu died as a result of leukemia, which he had been suffering from for two years. Kabosu was indeed the most famous dog among the dog breeds, whose image was used in popular commercial advertisements and in the DogeCoin logo, which is considered the queen of meme coins and which won the admiration and support of Elon Musk, Mark Cuban, and other businessmen and artists. The famous picture of Kabosu was sold as an NFT auction for $4 million a few years ago [1].

RIP to this lovely creature whose name and image will remain immortalized in the history of cryptocurrencies and forever etched in the hearts of his fans.
103  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Forgotten password for a Bitcoin wallet from 2013 recovered, unlocking 43.6 BTC on: May 29, 2024, 05:05:14 PM
Did I understand correctly that he forgot the wallet password? But using TrueCrypt also requires a password, so it turns out that he knew it. As far as I know, all the advertising that was carried out about this TrueCrypt program makes it almost impossible to decrypt its passwords and disks. Does this mean that something has also changed?
As for the Roboform, I have had a long-standing friendship with it for quite a while; probably even now, there are several passwords created by this generator. Previously, it was very convenient to store all the forms needed to fill out in this program, but when the developers switched its saving to online mode, trust instantly disappeared.
According to what was mentioned in the archived article above, the 2013 version of Roboform that this person used to generate the 20-character password, which he forgot because he did not store it in his manager, contained a vulnerability that existed until the 2015 versions, which made it easier for the specialists this person consulted to predict and smoothly crack the generated password by knowing the date and time of the user's computer and some other parameters.

I see that what this person did in the past has become outdated due to the lack of other safer alternatives available now. It is advisable to avoid using generate or manage password programs because, as we have seen, these programs can contain vulnerabilities that can be exploited, thus putting the wallet owner at great risk. Indeed, since Roboform has now been developed into an online mode, it has lost the security factor it previously had.
104  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't advice anyone to invest on Bitcoin if he doesn't have Alt. income on: May 29, 2024, 12:17:57 PM
If your cousin lost his previous job from which he used to receive a monthly salary, he should look for another job. As you have explained to him, the investment field is fraught with risks and is not a fertile ground for quick profits. Of course, having an alternative source of income to cover his daily and family needs will greatly contribute to the success of his long-term investments. If he needs money, he will find it from this source without the need to withdraw his capital from Bitcoin and leave the market, and he will also be able to increase the amount of Bitcoin he has constantly.

It is worth noting that sufficient experience and knowledge must accompany the source of income, as he is a beginner; without them, he may be exposed to fraud or lose his seed phrase, and he may invest at the wrong times. Therefore, he should take his time to learn and understand the basics and so on. I believe he will thank you one day.
105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Question to hodlers:How will you spend the money? on: May 28, 2024, 07:46:53 PM
And when will all this happen, that bitcoin will become the world reserve and central banks will have to embrace. This is a dream that may not come to pass. Asking people not to sell their bitcoin may not be to their own favour. I say that because everybody has what they need money for. Those who hold bitcoin should not feel any guilt selling at any time. It is their investment and they can do with it whatever that please them.
Each of us looks at the future of Bitcoin with his own perspective. Some believe in the capabilities of Bitcoin and its fundamental characteristics that may make this possible, and some see that these are just dreams. The achievements that Bitcoin has achieved over the past years until now, and its widespread adoption by countries, major companies and Institutions, exchange-traded funds, and prominent businessmen figures...etc., make us expect a bright future for this investment, which continues to grow and has not faltered during crises, creating a revolution in the financial world like never before.

Of course, every investor has the absolute freedom to sell or hold their Bitcoin or the returns they've gained from their investment. Each of us has different circumstances, goals, strategies, and plans. For me, if Bitcoin achieves satisfactory profits in the long term, I might sell part of my holdings and keep the rest. It truly doesn't matter if Bitcoin takes longer to yield the desired returns because I'm not relying on it as a primary source of income but rather as a forgotten investment for the future.

وصراحة لم أكن في الشهرين السابقين متفرغًا بالشكل الكافي في القسم، لكن قريبًا إن سمح لي الوقت، سأشارككم بكل جديد. دمتم جميعاً بخير.
107  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Forget Bitcoin - Memecoins Like Pepe, FLOKI and Bonk Are the Big Gainers Now on: May 28, 2024, 02:01:34 PM
Memecoins may offer more potential profit than Bitcoin but the key word here is potential. If you buy Bitcoin you are almost guaranteed to profit if you hold for a few years. Memecoins are a murky water of scams, failures & rug pulls. Sure you can get lucky & buy the right memecoins but it can go drastically wrong for you too. It all depends on your level of risk & luck of course.
Bitcoin is a secure investment. As time passes, its value increases and its scarcity decreases. Thanks to its capabilities and widespread adoption, Bitcoin can create a lot of wealth in the long term.

On the other hand, meme coins are investments without solid foundations or guarantees; everything is based on probability and luck... Most enthusiasts of this high-risk investment are just speculators or beginners dreaming of overnight wealth. They either achieve 100x returns or lose their capital due to manipulation or the project team abandoning the coin. They may also either invest in a legitimate meme coin project or be exposed to fraud to a large extent. Sniping the right meme coins is not easy, and you do not know whether this currency will continue its progress or reach zero.

Moreover, In addition to selling services, there is a section for selling goods, a section for exchanging currency, an Auction section, and a Lending section. This forum has a lot of benefits and is very useful.

111  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Every possible wrong crypto advices on: May 27, 2024, 02:39:34 PM
5. Invest on a project because they will give "GUARANTEED" returns. In the world of investing, there's no such thing as guaranteed especially in cryptocurrency.
I see that most investors are greatly enticed and scammed by advice that contains phrases like quick profits, guaranteed returns, multiplying capital by 100X, achieving the dream of wealth, and countless other illogical pieces of advice. Of course, it is the responsibility of every beginner to gain the necessary experience and conduct his research to determine whether the advice or recommendation he is listening to from someone is trustworthy or is just a trick to steal his funds and put him at risk.

Naturally, not all people who offer crypto advice to their followers and communities have good intentions; one of these influencers and analysts may promote one of the platforms or illegal currencies just because he received marketing fees from their teams, and it does not matter the fate of the people who listened to him and implemented what he advised, so every person must be sufficiently aware and cautious because not all the advice they will find will be in their favor.
112  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Creating alt coin or what solution can i find on: May 27, 2024, 11:37:27 AM
Creating and developing the altcoin and making it flexible and interactive with your platform are the primary means of payment, adding value to it, listing it, marketing it, and many other things that require a lot of capital and time. Still, I see that if you rely on one of the available and existing traded altcoins in the market to pay with it to the pioneers of the referral program, such as USDT or any of the top altcoins, it will be less expensive for you, and is one of the solutions that save you time.

But why would you give 80% to your online gaming platform members and keep only 20% for yourself? Is this an act of generosity, or is it an indirect promotional strategy? In any case, if you have a long-term vision and aspire to continue developing your platform and making it integrated, and if you lack sufficient experience and have the capital, you can search for legitimate companies and developers to implement your request.
113  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hot wallets are not the same as hardware wallets. on: May 27, 2024, 09:28:53 AM
The advanced security measures and the extra step of connecting to the Internet that hardware wallets require make hot wallets the preferred and faster option for regular trading and daily transactions. Although hot wallets are not the safest option, unlike hardware wallets, which are specially designed for long-term offline storage and are less vulnerable to hacking, I agree with using both types of wallets.

You can rely on your hot wallet for your business, daily activities, and regular transactions. After that, you can transfer your assets to your cold wallet, which is not connected to the Internet. I always recommend creating a wallet that you have full control over and can manage yourself without the involvement of third parties, such as CEX platform wallets. Always prioritize the security of your wallet against potential hacks, your seed phrases, and the Dex and airdrop platforms that you will connect your wallet to because your wallet can be easily drained if you don't prioritize its security.

تحديث:

ربما التحديث أتى متأخراً لكننى تذكرت إعلامكم به الآن أنه في اليوم العاشر لهذا الشهر:

منصة بينانس وكوكوين قد فازتا -بالفعل- بالتسجيل في وحدة الاستخبارات الهندية وهما المنصتان الرئيستان في تداول العملات الرقمية واللاعبين البارزين في صناعة التشفير، وقد دفعت منصة كو كوين غرامة قدرها 41 ألف دولار

لتكون أول كيان يتخلص من العقوبات المالية المفروضة في البلاد، ومن جهة أخرى تعمل بينانس على تسوية الغرامة وإنهاء العقوبة التي من المتوقع أن تكون إثنين مليون دولار ولكن إجراءات الامتثال لم تنتهى بعد

فمازال هناك جلسات إستماع مع وحدة الإستخبارات المالية لإعلان مقدار العقوبة ، وعودتها بموجب التشريعات التنظيمية الجديدة.
115  Local / منصات التبادل / Re: بايننس تطور طريقة فريدة لتحديد العناوين ا on: May 23, 2024, 09:51:53 PM
هذه إحصائية كبيرة حقا بالعناوين المزيفة التي استخدمها المحتالون في خداع ضحاياهم من خلال إرسال إحدى المعاملات إلى محافظهم بكمية بسيطة من الرسوم باستخدام محافظ تكون بدايتها ونهايتها مشابهة لأحد العناوين التي اعتاد مالك المحفظة على إرسال المعاملات لها،

رغم بساطة عملية الاحتيال هذه والتي يمكن تفاديها من خلال عدد نسخ أي عناوين للمحافظ من سجلات المعاملات السابقة، فإن هناك أشخاصا كسالى قد تعرضوا لفقد ملايين الدولارات من خلال عملية الاحتيال هذه، والذي دفع بينانس بالتعاون مع شركة الأمان HashDit لتطوير هذه الخوارزمية التي تعتمد على قاعدة بينانات هذه الشركة للعناوين المسمومة و تمكن في تثبيت ملحق HashDit إلى المحفظة ومن بعد منح الصلاحيات سيقوم الملحق بإعطاء التحذيرات للعقود الذكية والعناوين الضارة والمزيفة والمواقع التصيدية والامور الاخرى التى ستساعد على ردع الكثير من عمليات الاحتيال.
116  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Warning]: Grandoreiro banking trojan/malware evolves to target crypto wallets on: May 23, 2024, 08:15:50 PM
The field of cryptocurrencies has become more prosperous than before. It includes vast communities of international investors and traders who engage with their emails on various platforms, projects, airdrops, etc. When a hacker seizes and obtains a user database from one of the companies and platforms, you will undoubtedly find that they send phishing emails to the victims' email addresses containing malicious links or attachments that are often injected with Trojans like Grandoreiro Banking.

Therefore, it is highly recommended not to expose your primary email address to the public and to completely ignore any links or attachments in emails, even if they are in the Inbox and not in Spam. Hastily downloading an attachment and running it on a device containing essential data and crypto wallets could have severe consequences.
117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Memecoin specifically for holders.. on: May 22, 2024, 09:14:31 PM
They just wanted to get more people to invest in their project since it's already been made and something like it nowadays cannot be easily promoted that fast since there are lots of competitors which makes it hard to even recognize by big exchanges except if you have lots of budget to pay them which is kinda hassle for them. therefore, they just continue to promote their failed project to accumulate funds from other investors which they will fool to invest in their memecoin. That's why whenever you see such coins that are already over, especially if it has no hype anymore, you are recommended to avoid them since they have no future anymore.
They know the popularity of Bitcointalk and its massive user base of cryptocurrency enthusiasts. This might not be the only promotion we see here; the OP or the team behind this project might have paid influencers, YouTubers, and news sites to attract investors to this meme coin.

It is worth noting that there is no evidence that the $HODL team is the same as the Arbdoge team. I believe this is just a marketing trick to draw potential investors' attention to this project. There are members whose topics I had seen before that they had said that the new meme coins they promoted may outperform Pepe, Dogecoin, and the like. In the end, you find that this was just a rug pull coins that these members lured investors and members into. Everyone should be wary of these indirect promotions and avoid meme coins, as they could lead to financial ruin.
118  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Be careful, FoxIt PDF Reader flaw being exploited by Hackers targeting cryptos on: May 22, 2024, 07:39:30 PM
Thank you for warning the community and Foxit Reader users about this highly dangerous exploit. The danger lies in downloading malicious PDF files, which you usually find in emails, on Facebook, or some free book sites on Google. After opening the malicious PDF file in Foxit, it executes malicious harmful code if the victim ignores the warning messages, presses OK, and opens the file. Unfortunately, this exploit will enable the hacker to steal many essential and sensitive data, including passwords and cookies from browsers, and cryptocurrency wallets. Therefore, it is recommended that we use Adobe Acrobat Reader for now until the Foxit team fixes this exploit in version 2024.3.

This reminds us all of the necessity not to use our primary devices, which contain any important data, for downloading PDFs, cracks, or torrent files, etc., as hackers can exploit one of the programs and carry out their fraudulent activities without our knowledge.

Investing in bitcoin can be good idea and using strategy which you mentioned Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) can help reduce risk. It is good only to invest what you can afford to lose. While we should keep in mind that there is always some risk potential rewards are big making it good investment. And if you hold longer your investment less risky it will be. When market dump it is good chance to buy bitcoin at better price. And this will help you make most of your investment and achieve long term financial success.
All investments and financial markets involve risks to some extent. In general, Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market may be at higher risk due to its high volatility and the prevalence of scam operations. However, it is also potentially more profitable than others. By following specific strategies, understanding market trends, using the necessary analytical tools, and developing long-term plans, as well as understanding and studying risks to reduce panic during short-term fluctuations, financial management of capital, and providing an additional source of income to increase our holding of Bitcoin regularly without depleting them one day, this of course make us enter with a bold heart and take risks, provide us with a lower-risk investment and enable us to face all challenges.
120  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't invest in Bitcoin because others are investing in Bitcoin on: May 22, 2024, 09:12:58 AM
There are many people who invest based on what they hear from others. These people immediately trust what they hear and want to make a quick profit. They should know that investing involves risks and that investing based on what they hear from others is a mistake.

The investor should research himself and learn how the market works. Everyone wants to win quickly, but the market is not a 90-minute match and it has a way of working. It is the right thing to learn this process and make the investment after gaining knowledge.
Most newly involved in Bitcoin investing may only be aware of the potential for substantial returns from their investments, regardless of the risks, necessary experience, knowledge, and guidelines and recommendations that enable them to achieve their goals. Of course, the cryptocurrency market has no guarantees or quick profits and may suffer during times of sharp declines. Whoever invests in Bitcoin must be sufficiently educated, follow a long-term mindset, and invest money that does not impose financial or psychological burdens if its value drops one day. Also, they are committed to managing their capital and potential risks, capable of securing their wallets and seed phrases, and knowledgeable about the necessary security measures to protect their investments from common fraud methods they might encounter. Therefore, no investor can invest based on the fact that a particular group has invested and succeeded in doing so because each investor's experience, ability, and risk tolerance vary from person to person.
