1041  Economy / Speculation / Re: The excitement is over, what's next? on: May 13, 2020, 01:41:48 PM
Here we go the much anticipated price of BTC Halving is over, there were lot of speculations on this but the majority failed, however I guess it still remain stable Even in this tough situation.

I didn't even got excited with the third halving we got from Bitcoin since I know it is all just fuzz and noise created in the internet. You were wrong to expect something spectacular to happen during the halving since the 2016 halving proves that it is just one of those days for Bitcoin to consolidate.

So what's next? Will the price go down or it will remain stable or it will pump? In my opinion the price may go down as this COVID-19 has affected very very badly which may cause investors to sell their assets.. kindly share your opinion guys.

Right now Bitcoin is sitting in another make or break position from where it stands, it failed to retain in the 10,000$ level and not if it fails in another re-test for that level then we will probably go down. However nothing is for sure here since from the previous movements we can see Bitcoin might just retract back to the 8,000$ level and consolidate in that level.

Well, what can you say OP? the representative has already replied here, hope you can support your accusation.
OP's last activity shows that he was out after posting his last reply. But looking how convincing Bitcasino replied I'm wondering how the OP will be able to explain this if he is really innocent of double spending. Probably it is one of the reasons of sending the payment with low fees that messed up the transaction.

~snip

I can say I like this kind of system, I am not a regular player of your site but I have been betting on sportsbet.io and this is the feature that I like the most, no confirmation needed and have to play.. maybe this is the reason why other websites requires confirmation first because there are people who can take advantage to this, but it seems like you have a good internal control, so it will minimize the risk.
[/quote]

It may be convenient on your part but if the OP is really innocent here and the system of 0 confirmations messed his transaction up you wouldn't really want that to happen with you as well so If I were you I won't say having 0 confirmation is some kind of advantage.

How much are peer to peer services being monitored by the governement? What amounts would they go after you for selling?

They are monitored the same way as the ones regulated by any government, they don't particularly focus on some specific crypto busines since if it involved securities/assets like cryptocurrencies they will undergo the same process as the other crypto exchanges in the market right now and that usually goes with KYC requirements and AML enforcements and sometimes random reports from these businesses about "unusual transactions" of their clients. For them being heavily monitored or not depends if they are fulfilling the requirements of their operations being legal like how LocalBitcoins and ShapeShift.io suddenly required KYC for there services, it is because they suddenly became more popular that's why they got notice by the government.
1044  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to identify Crypto exchange scam?? on: May 12, 2020, 08:01:07 PM
As you see i have scammed so many times through excahge,i don't have any knowledge to identify the scam exchage.Can you suggest me some scam exchage are there right now so that i can avoid those exchanges.

And it will be better if any crypto lovers will tell me how to identify scam exchanges.I am very enthusiastic about crypto and i don’t want to be disappointed and not interested to loss money. .So feel free to give me a suggestion.It will be very helpful.   

Best way to avoid joining a scam exchange is not to be in it in the first place. What I mean about that is don't always jump into new exchanges the first time you see about them or have heard about them joining a new exchange even if they are highly promoted is risky especially if you really don't know who are running them, you are basically putting your money on a stranger online. You should stay away from these exchanges and monitor them for months to see if they are really ok. I don't even know why a lot of people are searching for new exchanges every time here as if the ones who are already established are not good enough, maybe you are just one those people who are looking for exchanges that has no KYC or 0% trading fees, well those kinds of exchanges (at least the trusted ones) don't exist.

Users using the Trust system should be prohibited from using VPN and tor. I'm sure most dt members create their own dt gang with their alt accounts.

Sorry I don't get your point on this one. How does prohibiting members using TOR and VPN solve the "issues" in the trust system? Since I don't see any direct relation between a member using VPN and his/her right on voting in the trust system or am I just missing something? Besides that I don't even see this as a possible solution considering that the admin has no control towards how the users visit Bitcointalk, users use ad blockers, VPN, and the TOR browser but I don't see theymos prohibiting them since it's their choice to do so.
1046  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-05-06] Forbes - Did Google Just Censor Bitcoin on: May 12, 2020, 04:29:56 PM
This isn't the first time Google has done this. And the real reason why this happens is still not clear.

It's all about big companies avoiding potential legal issues by showing crypto related stuff. Remember when Facebook and Google at the same time pulled-out any ads related to cryptocurrencies and ICOs? Back then there was a surge of scam coins and projects that didn't fulfill their promises and they were just avoiding the backlash from users who will point out their company as a liable party on why they invested in such ICOs. With them censoring Bitcoin technical analysis Youtube channels I can say it is more related to the whole fake giveaways happening in Youtube and I think that they shadowban all crypto related videos and that cause these channels to suffer as well since there is also a risk from them involved.

However:
  • The encrypted file is stored on their server
  • The password used to encrypt it is send in plaintext to their server

This concept is not similar to blockchain.com, where the keys are created and encrypted client-side and only are stored on the server.
They have full access to the private keys.

Definitely not a safe way of storing a password. Usually when we think about the basics of password encryption like AES the password is automatically encrypted in the client side. In this way where the password is on a plain text the other party would also know your password since it would be readable on their part.

2) sendbit.io is donating to themselves:

sendbit.io donation address: 32xTvYfrjf8KMemRfbmz9CrcBo6Q8YK6aq (archived)
Outgoing transaction to address 3AN8iJKd8VaVfczVY4Vvj8CQtMxZeNCFiP.
The very next and only transaction from 3AN8i.. goes back to 32xTvYfrjf8KMemRfbmz9CrcBo6Q8YK6aq and 34Yam2jeDX348v6KtN6d21psC1gxn1o9tD.
The very next and only transaction from 34Yam2.. goes back to to 32xTvYfrjf8KMemRfbmz9CrcBo6Q8YK6aq and 2 other addresses (34pVKwsP8YmyifjPBAWGnjcQKj4UNag3Gq and 38FrvmdxuHud75gQQqjA5fmp7rb3YxfrUy) which both again fund the sendbit.io donation address 32xTvYfrjf8KMemRfbmz9CrcBo6Q8YK6aq and other address... and so on.. This continues.

This seems very shady to me. The only reason one would do that, i can think of, is to increase their reputation or popularity by pretending there are a lot of donations coming in.

I do have to agree with you on this one transaction spoofing is something commonly done by scammers particularly HYIP sites and Cryptocurrency doublers in order to impress the viewers and make it look like their service is real. Overall just by looking at your first two points I would say that their web wallet is not to be trusted with since they like you said are already doing a shady activity. And also the timing of the two accounts shilling this web wallet is very near to each other showing that they are somehow coordinated on promoting this possible scam.

The thing is the virus won’t go away until there’s a vaccine which could he years away. We’re just going to have to learn to live with it.

If players test positive quarantine them away from the rest of the squad. B&Q don’t shut all their stores & cewse trading if one employee gets covid19. We must try to get the world restarted.

Or better yet re-test all of the players and everyone in the pitch who have come and contact with that player, if they want to avoid anymore suspensions on when the league resumes I think this is this best way of maintaining the league to see if anyone else is also infected. Although this is a much expensive approach it will be up to them if the league continuing is what they really want. I still think that there is a possibility of containment here so they can prevent their players for even having it like in the Serie A I heard that they'll most likely play their games south of the Lombardy region where the center of the outbreak happen so they avoid as much contact from possible infected people.

@OP if it wouldn't hurt your bank I think it would be better if you hire a marketing manager and a site developer for your promotional needs for your upcoming product. Since you are clueless on how to promote or show it off in the market it would be better for your if you shell out some cash for some people willing to handle it. Star people whom your trust or is close to you before heading out to freelancers since it would be better for you if you hire someone who you will have an easier time communicating with the project unlike a freelancer where your communication is only limited to the internet.


That would be wonderful I'm currently on stage 2 of testing and I will post a few diagrams to show the structure of the wallet etc, do you use telegram or have an email? you can inbox me if you'd like

Woah there, maybe you have misunderstood my post. I'm merely just a member here suggesting you to hire a marketing manager and/or a site developer I'm not either of those two myself but since I'm a business management graduate I'm just suggesting you what you can do as the owner of the product. We do have some campaign managers in this forum but you would just be limiting your exposure in this website or for some in some social media websites so I really suggest that you go for someone that can expose your product on various means.

1051  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Never trust an ICO ranking site! on: May 11, 2020, 04:09:54 PM
Most ratings of those ICO ranking sites are giving wrong and fake information and that is why we should not give a damn when we are going to make investment. They are just a paying site and giving a review base on the payments that they received. There are now many investors who lost huge amount of money because they are relying on ICO ranking sites. It is very risky because it is just a paid website that aims to promote a certain project.
I don't think all ICO ratings give wrong information because I've seen several ICO ratings that provide good information but in this condition there is no longer any clean, everything can be controlled when they pay you a very high amount, that's why in some ICO rating offers to make it a good high-value rating.

Well you can always put it at your own advantage. You just don't have to believer at everything they provide you in their website since you know most of it can be misleading, you always have to check all their information and separate facts from fiction and you can only do that if you do your own research about the project. Why would you even believe the rating that the website has given, does everybody know what even the criteria is for their ratings? I don't think so, even that kind of information can be misleading a lot of people here that if they score a higher rating they would be a better investment compared to other ICOs. So really just use this websites as an introduction to their project but never trust the ratings they give.
1052  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why You choose Crypto Trading instead of Forex Trading. on: May 11, 2020, 03:01:04 PM

There are some Interesting intersession between the two financial systems. Some are;
 
* They both use both technical and fundamental analysis to trade.

No. Aside from security tokens majority of cryptocurrencies we have in the market including Bitcoin has barely to none existent Fundamental analysis, why? Because it is not a company where they have financial information on their earnings, assets, or losses. How can you do Fundamenta Analysis on these cryptocurrencies if these crypto can't product financial data?


* They are digital trading based on different financial assets with different set of principles.
* There is always risk to be taken in both markets.

I don't even know what is your point on these two since we are talking about trading everything now exists digitally, we don't print out paper anymore if we purchase stocks of companies or buy any asset online not unless you request it to your broker. And yes it is obvious that there is risks involved in these markets but it doesn't mean they have similar risks involved.

Why do you decides to trade crypto despite the more stable and regulated forex market?

Because the gain we will have in forex trading for a year might just be one day in the crypto market. Yes we can have more potential gain in a shorter period in the crypto market but also it is more riskier compared to forex but I think that's what a lot of people accepted already since they would rather be on a fast moving asset rather than an asset that can only give them a slow progress.
1053  Economy / Economics / Re: Is a real estate crash/dip due? on: May 10, 2020, 09:15:02 PM
This is one of the big possibilities out there but the real estate market could be just one part of a bigger problem, I'm talking about the potential recession we will be having due to pandemic. You already pointed out that a lot of jobs have been lost and the whole point about that is a lot of businesses are doing retrenchment or downsizing due to lack of revenue coming in. Other than the job losses we are experiencing we also have seen the stocks took a hit earlier compared to other markets add all of that together we can see that some economists are right that the recession is within reach. Of course the real estate market will be hit as well all of the assets people can liquidate for cash will always be vulnerable in these kinds of situation.

Is Ross Ulbricht using Medium from Prison?

Not directly though but through his lawyer, Ross Ulbricht passes written notes to his lawyer but before that the lawyer will change/edit some words for him not to have any legal issues. As on how Ross can analyze charts you can see that the lawyer might have given him printed copies of Bitcoin's latest chart where he can do his analysis by paper and then later on be scanned by them. As for his analysis I don't know why he is analyzing Bitcoin's chart on a long term period, from 2012-2019, since we all know that makes anyone's analysis for Bitcoin more inaccurate given that we are on a volatile market we really don't know where Bitcoin will be headed not unless we look at charts on a shorter time frame.

they openly stated in their intro that the whitepaper is a copy/paste  Roll Eyes so u didnt really need to perform all these researchs and pictures

I openly state this in the introduction of the white paper.

When things get moving along, i'll probably rewrite a few things, but this IS a fork of Dash, with multi algo stuff taken from DGB.

But anyways, i'm not gonna argue about it as I already openly said that's what I did in the introduction of the whitepaper....

- Mike

Can you even call it a "whitepaper" of your own if all of it's content comes from different projects? I cannot even call it your own project since all the ideas are copied from other projects. You should take note that plagiarism can still be counted even if you "openly stated" it, as long as you don't have the permission of that person/entity you are copying it from you still have committed plagiarism, how? You treated all the other whitepapers' content and treated it as your own which is still stealing.
1056  Bitcoin / Legal / China's Lower Court has Ruled Bitcoin as a "Digital Asset" in one of their Cases on: May 10, 2020, 04:59:00 PM
Three Chinese and a Malaysian who locked up an American man and his wife and forced them to transfer 18.88 Bitcoins and 6,466 Skycoins to the gang's bank account have been ordered to return the Bitcoins.

Shanghai No.1 Intermediate People's Court heard that the gang had been sentenced to jail terms ranging from six and a half months to eight months but had refused to return the virtual currency because they believed Bitcoins and Skycoins were not assets in Chinese law.

But the court found Bitcoin to be a digital asset that should be protected by law.

The intermediate people’s court upheld the ruling and made an adjustment regarding the Skycoins.

Liu Jiang, chief judge in the case, said documents released by the People's Bank of China had never denied Bitcoin as an asset and the laws, regulations in China did not prohibit citizens from holding them. However, a notification issued by the bank warns that such "virtual currencies" shouldn't circulate in the Chinese market.

It looks like the Shanghai Court have been caught up with argument of the defendants that Bitcoin is not an "asset", if they argued it isn't then the criminals can keep the stolen Bitcoin but if they rule that Bitcoin is an asset not only will the victims will received their stolen Bitcoin funds back but this decision will set an entire precedent in other future cases involving the argument of Bitcoin being a digital asset, the good thing here is they have chose the latter and it was really the right decision.  Also it was a good thing that the chief judge have clarified that Bitcoin wasn't really prohibited in China which I think is an important message to be highlighted since a lot of members here still think that Bitcoin is illegal in China when in fact it hasn't been ever since.

Bitcoin today becomes more popular and the number of the users are rapidly increasing this is a mass adoption a good sign for the future payment method to make easier and faster transactions.

I'm talking about Bitcoin's price here so I don't have any clue where you got your reply about the number of users "rapidly increasing" since it is a different topic. If you are assuming that Bitcoin's price is going up because it is used more often now then think again since the state of Bitcoin being a payment method hasn't develop recently and the price movement we are experiencing now is just a taste of a bullish reversal. Simply there is no demand involve of it being a payment method for now all the price movement you are seeing right now is just purely technical and nothing about demand.
1058  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I want to buy bitcoins on: May 09, 2020, 10:30:14 PM
There is a big chance that you have posted this because you notice that Bitcoin is going up in the last few days and you are one of the persons who have been attracted with it's recent price movement. Well to tell you honestly when people are attracted with an asset because it is going up then you know it is the WRONG time to buy that asset and that includes Bitcoin. Right now isn't the best time to buy Bitcoin since it already went up, buying right now means you won't have any margin of safety and you will just double your risk in holding the position. The best time to buy a crypto asset is when it has bottomed out during a crash, this just assure you that it won't really go down any further and all you have to do is to play the waiting game for time it will go back up above.

What are you trying to get here? Is it about the recent negative feedbacks you receive that you are trying to change something? Because you won't really gain anything here if you become a DT member just because you ask the people too. You will simply just break the system just because of your selfish desires, besides there is no point on being a DT member here being backed by normal members. Simply just by posting this requesting people to add you in their trust list will just make a lot of DT members involved and they will also put you into their distrust list.

Jaszczynski adds, “I noticed that in June and December 2019 the YouTube purge was happening through strikes, which prevented us from uploading our bitcoin technical analysis videos. ‘Shadow-banning’ however is more of a stealth approach. It limits the reach of YouTube videos, and as a result, this significantly decreases the number of views that we receive.”

The article pointed out that these Youtube channels are being prevented to upload their technical analysis video but if I tried to search "bitcoin analysis" in Youtube you will see a lot of recently uploaded technical analysis videos in Youtube, so this might be wrong or the shadow ban is not a problem anymore. What is weird though is if you look at the "video" page in Google after searching "cryptocurrency" you will see that top results are not from Youtube but from sites that have no relations with Google so I think they may have tweaked search results as well.
