This can't be true if the platform you are into it is legit so either you messed up on a clone site or with your address so the funds send to the wrong wallet. But I am almost sure that when a platform says you need to deposit ETH or BTC to access your funds then its a scam.

I am trying to insult anyone just being rational by assuming the farmers OP is talking about may not have any idea about investing, volatility, potential, etc they tend to agree for this because someone in the community succeeded with this strategy so they are going for it but I am saying that at least they should be informed about the risks involved so it won't be a disaster to face if the results are not as expected.

But those who seek the utmost security can go with the way there will be no compromise at all especially those who don't trust the Windows operating system. I forgot to mention that creating seeds offline on a device that they will connect to the internet later still has the risk of exposure to threats so it should be on clean air gapped device.

People often choose seed phrases based on memorable words or phrases, but using the same word repeated multiple times is just the dumbest thought I have ever heard. I hope no one is out there with the same thought because the seed phrases that lack sufficient entropy, become vulnerable to various attacks.

For someone who wants to create seed phrases completely offline and better than Electrum should use an operating system like Tails

The approach of teaching kids about Bitcoin via cartoon might pique kids' interest in Bitcoin but it may not be very effective as educational purposes so you have to find a way to teach them about financial literacy which will help them to understand about bitcoin better.

I would say it depends on their age a lot, if they are old enough to read on their own and understand a book then my first priority will be giving them ideas about the right books to get accurate information about money, system.  Relying solely on cartoons might limit the scope of learning so integrating other interactive and educational activities can complement the cartoon approach and enhance children's understanding.

It might be a trick used by the platforms to get many deposits as much as they can but they will only pay money to whoever deserves it which is legally acceptable but ethically not however we can't change the system how it used to be so the only choice is if we don't like it then choose the one which suits ours.

On the other hand, anyone can mistake even the big reputed casino too but OP spend all the money in just a day and now blaming the casino is not going to bring the money back or it's just the same kind of excuse used by the addicts to blame their mistakes on others.

You don't have to make posts that are grammatically correct, its enough to make posts that make some sense, especially in the public forums. But looking for any errors by reading again won't do any harm and it will be effective to identify the sentences that are not properly constructed.

Anyway, when someone suggests you post quality over quantity it never meant long text, it just means post something knowledgeable.

Neither of them is getting any benefits or at least financially but each country from NATO is providing the firepower, new tech drones and a lot of money to Ukraine it seems to me they took Ukraine as a testing field to test all their inventions related to Military aids so they can be sure of what their actual power in case if they have to use their for own in future which really can be avoided that will bring the ease to the Russia-Ukraine war and ends will minimum damage no matter whoever wins the poor lives can be saved.

Not just Ukraine and countries that are supposed to receive the cargos from Ukraine were affected but also Russia since US imposed sanctions against them so it's retaliate from Russia's perspective if all the countries are against them. Geo political conflicts are much more complex either it has to be shut down with power which is not likely the possibility with country like Russia and trying to bring in the Peace in some way.

I wonder what Nato is doing when all these things are happening because if I am not wrong the conflicts began when NATO countries insisted Ukraine to join them.

You are supposed to have your recovery seeds and it is the only way to access the funds you can't be able to find the issue with your existing application. As others said check your Internet connection and firewall but I would simply import the funds to another wallet even into an Android device by downloading electrum wallet.

Yes, I am also using Binance p2p which has the same risk as doing on Paxful but only better thing is we can expect the better support and hopefully the scammers account will be held until everything resolves.

But in my experience using LBC for years and Paxful for a while met with lot of scammer's attempts and even some succeeded such as chargebacks and all I did is successfully terminated all their accounts and funds were locked indefinitely.

I am wanting to do these p2p deals on Paxful and also on Noones ( doing it since Paxful closed) is to make some money via deals of offering to sell and buy services.

It is really an unfair comparison so definitely there is no answer to say whether the risk involved in bitcoin is higher or it is in gambling.

The reason why the adoption of gambling is rapid is because of the evolution of the internet just as social media, youtube, online degrees, and importantly jobs which clearly insist that everything that has been done traditionally is getting replaced by the internet in the way people are liking it.

Exactly, cause I think not everyone is supposed to run their full nodes unless there is some necessity for them to do. Here in case OP just wants to have better security for his assets that are stored in a wallet like Electrum and looking to increase the security further.

But running their nodes on their own servers is mandatory for anyone who seeks the utmost privacy and is not willing to rely on third part servers.

If you feel you aren't capable of holding multiple keys on your own then there is an option that offers paid multisig setup like Casa which ensures that your keys will be will be stored in multiple places but its all based on trust which is against the nature of bitcoin since it encourages trustless system.

I will suggest you go for hardware wallets that are better than SPV wallets cause its less likely to be affected by malware and no burden of managing multiple keys.

But there are different kinds of wallets available for different user needs so pick yours based on your needs. And if you are just okay with a small amount then single signature Electrum wallet is enough along with passwords that ensure unauthorized access when device gets stole and buys you enough time to import the wallet with seeds and move the balance in that wallet to the new when the person is trying to brute-force your password.

Had a look but you can find most of the scams reported is most likely social engineering scams or when they are dealing with feshly created accounts because where they fell for the offers that they never imagined like over 60% than market place which is obviously coming from source that is not legit or from theirs which kind should be avoided at any cost.

Anyway, I will give it a shot myself with a small amount for a while to realize their user experience.

I have been watching the Platform ever since they were back, there is no lack of liquidity there or at least for the currency which I generally trade with so isn't about that I just want to make sure their trading experience, withdrawal, and deposits are smooth.


Paxful is P2P since the platfrom is not creating the trade orders or set prices, its where the buyer and seller choose whatever they want and the platform collects flat1% fee and also I am encouraging the use of decentralized p2p like Bisq but with my case the volume for the order I prefer is absolutely zero and I created an offer it just sat there for very long.

---

I am only deal with bank transfers and it's only with the members that I trust also I can see there is no declining in the demand, I am just afraid that if I don't move in back at right time then I am concerned those traders I usually trade might move to others.

Paxful closed its service in April probably due to an internal dispute between founders but after a month they came online with new CEO,



I haven't used their service since April so I would like to hear opinions about anyone who used the Paxful platform cause I want to know is it just same as before?

I know it is a KYCed p2p platform so no need for anyone to suggest about no KYC P2P alternatives like Bisq cause I want to make sure everything is okay before resuming my day trading activities on that Paxful.

It is not a laptop, its just a tablet with keyboard attacked.

And the specs is not enough to install a Bitcoin core wallet with full blockchain data alone but it can handle the light weight SPV like Electrum along with any wallet that is available on Play Store.

I am not sure you can install another OS along with adding RAM and disk to the device and if it is possible then you can run bitcoin core.

I hope every former is investing their money after understanding the risks as well cause bitcoin prices are highly volatile so there will be unexpected price fluctuations so they should be should be prepared for potential losses or sudden declines in the value of their Bitcoin holdings.

Also, it is important to teach them there is nothing guaranteed when it comes to investments so their risk appetite is enough if they face loss or it will be a burden for them so anyone who is organizing this co operative investment plan should be aware of this not just blatantly invest on bitcoin because someone made money earlier.

Can we please replace the "Attack" with Criticism which seems more appropriate since no one is actually attacking anyone, all they try to do is criticize if they doesn't fit what they are proposing, when they were wrong and instances like that.

And anyone who can't handle the criticism should avoid engaging in public forum discussions so it will be good for both parties.
