How could he gain money even if Betking was open? It was hacked remember so there is no bankroll.

The only reason he would open Betking again if he thought he could scam some more. I would watch out for emails going to his ICO bag holders saying he just needs a few hundred BTC to recoup their losses. People often throw good money after bad so it could happen.

CloudFront is Amazon (AWS). It doesn't block Tor specifically - you can request a new circuit and it will usually let you in after a few tries. It is annoying tho. I think the site owner should tweak the firewall to be more tor-friendly.


Unnecessary complication. Pay in real money. My guess is that you don't have a budget so you're trying to skate through counting on some future ad revenue or something. If you could sign a message with an address holding enough "cryptos" to pay for let's say a million posts that would add some credibility.

But paid posts will be very low quality as others have said. Maybe you should find another way to attract people to generate content.

This sounds like a great recipe for bankruptcy. It's called "catch a falling knife" and has its roots in the gambler's fallacy that following a "down" there must be an equal or better "up" . That's not true at all.

Holding altcoins today is a bad idea. Buying more is even worse. If there is going to be another alcoin bubble you will have lost all your money by then if you do what you're saying here.

I mean TOTP standard which is probably the most common offline 2FA method.

I don't think email confirmation qualifies to be called 2FA, it's just an out-of-band verification method. It's better than nothing but it's vulnerable to various exploits and it doesn't satisfy the basic MFA requirements (two or more of something you know/have/are).

TOTP is also not perfect because it relies on a shared password but that's a different discussion.

Yes, I'm a time traveler from 2015. Bitcoin was the top coin then and one altcoin boom later it's still the top coin but many top 10 or top 100 altcoins are gone. You're saying that a miracle can happen and I'm saying it's silly to bet on a miracle.

That's not how exchange rate works. 0.04 BTC is still 0.04 BTC.

The TX ID provided by the OP two years ago shows 0.04 BTC:

It was sent to 1dice97EC address, so it's on-chain bet. Unfortunately the bets are not provably fair so it's unclear if it's a winning bet. The chance to win was 49% if i remember well.

Low liquidity is a bad thing, don't make sound like a good thing. It means than any big bag holder which are usual with premined shitcoins can dump and crash the coin at any time. Institutional investors will not put their money into that kind of risk.

Scripts don't work. Gambling is random and you can't change your chances by skipping bets or any other strategies. Stop scamming gambling addicts and get a real job.

Not a single thing was wrong in my post.


What alternative services am I promoting? Just saying that it's not as simple as some users said. I have two ProtonMail accounts and had to sacrifice some privacy to get them.

I was using Tor and as others said it looks like an IP abuse issue.


Tried a hotmail account didn't work. I don't remember the error message. Had to use a gmail account which being google of course knows everything about me.


Online SMS things didn't work. Different Tor circuits didn't work. Paying and downgrading is a good idea. I didn't know a downgrade like that is possible.

The commonly used 2FA (30-second 6-digit codes) is basically just a random password that gets hashed with a time value to produce your code. So the advantage is that the password itself is never sent over the internet but it can still be leaked from the server or from your device via some malware or from backups.

This doesn't make any sense. You had money deposited there to create and test your script. You show a screenshot that you nearly doubled your money in 5 hours. You could be rich in a couple of weeks if you just left it running. You'll never make that kind of money selling the script for $30.

But obviously the script doesn't work, like any -EV gambling script. Maybe there is no script at all, you just trying to scam a few bucks...

Even that is just a matter of time. Schnorr signatures and Taproot soft fork that could happen some time next year would bring privacy features to Bitcoin. This works both ways. Altcoins can improve on Bitcoin and add new features, and that's great. But if the idea is worthwhile then Bitcoin can also take it and implement.

I think it's because you asked only junior members to reply. I didn't respond initially because of that

I think the bitcoin price will not be affected much by halving. The halving has already been priced in by the markets. Mining profitability doesn't have much effect on price either. It's always profitable to mine for someone somewhere and big mining farms are already located in places where they can mine profitably at $3000 as we saw just a few months ago. Very low bitcoin prices may affect mining equipment prices so it may finally kill Bitmain for example.


I think this is somewhat incorrect, sorry for nitpicking. You probably mean the code that was programmed to emit new bitcoins on a certain schedule but the coins themselves were not pre-created at that time. The block reward is created in every block. If everybody stopped mining those coins would never exist.

Totally agree that they need to disclose it just want to note that requiring hundreds of confirmations is not unusual for some unstable shitcoins that have like 10-second block times and fork on every other block.

I don't know anything about XVG tho... but some googling shows 50 sat price, 16 billion coins, 30-sec block time, been hacked in the past - I wouldn't be surprised if exchanges don't want to take it without at least 1-2 hours worth of confirmations.

There is a "are you human" verification which requires email, SMS, or donation. The only donation options are PayPal and Credit Card (no BTC). Email option doesn't accept some email addresses I think my hotmail address was a no go. Yeah still have one of those.

That's for the free account. I don't know if the paid options let you in without being "human".

Speaking of petty and selfish and totally disrespectful to other investors, why did you lock the thread after I posted this?


And then you disrespectfully called me...


I wish you that the money you scammed buys you so many pina coladas that you get liver cancer.

I don't think we need that at all. I don't mind being not paid for browsing the internet. If I want to make money there are better ways to do it. Paying for browsing brings unnecessary conflicts of interest, abuse etc.

All I want is software that let's me see nicely rendered HTML and doesn't spy on me.

The scale is exponential for some unclear reason, maybe to make it fit nicely on the M2 line?

But the main flaw in this is that Bitcoin transaction volume doesn't reflect actual velocity as defined under the chart ("how quickly money is circulating in the economy"). Someone could be mixing coins, or moving them between cold/hot wallets, or doing something else that doesn't have any correlation with Bitcoin economy, adoption etc. It might have some correlation with transaction fees but even that is not so much important for larger transactions.

If you were an affiliate to a scam site does that make you an accomplice? Maybe you should compensate the actual victims instead of demanding to be paid from the scammed amounts. You didn't put any money into the site, you profited from it.

Sorry this happened to you.

Yes, you absolutely need to report these crimes to authorities. If the amount above a threshold where they actually take a report. That's the reason why these scammers are so bold - they think their uncatchable because nobody tries to catch them. But they leave a lot of breadcrumbs so it's possible to catch if enough users complain.

You didn't say how this person (or the person you thought they were) knew about you having coins, but that's something I never do - tell anyone about my coins. If someone asks me about it outside of BCT then I know they're fishing or somehow followed me from BCT or some leaked exchange e-mails or whatever - all good reasons to avoid them.
