Lately, I've been seeing a guy post the same message over and over. Hey
Website: https://crypton-exchange.net
How to get a bonus of 0.005 btc( 18$ )?
Enter this code: YQAOA in settings (promocode) https://crypton-exchange.net/profile#promocode_page )
IF YOU WANT WITHDRAW WITHOUT DEPOSIT, YOU NEED WRITE TO SUPPORT: "Hello, I want to withdraw without deposit" but before it you need to play one game in roulette from bonnus money.
What is the reason for the site to give me a free bonus? This is a lie? - not. This website is absolutely unique and has no analogues. Players playing against other players, not versus website, and the website will to receives a commission of 10% for each game and each withdrawal, 5% of this commission is invested by the website to invite new players. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5084776This is a known scam, where they will ask you to deposit onto their website to supposedly receive 'free' bitcoins. I knew from the start that this was a scam, but I took the bait, just to find out how they were scamming people. (with throwaway login data of course) They're posting this quite regularly and I don't want people to fall for it. I want to post this message on all the posts I come across, before reporting them: SCAM
This is a known scam, don't fall for it.
When you contact their support they will ask for credit card info or a Bitcoin deposit. Do not believe anything this guy is saying and don't fall for it.
Don't create an account, because they will also use your password to get access to other services for which you've used the same password.
Op, stop posting this here, I will copy this message and post it as soon as I see another one of these posts!
Am I allowed to do that, since I'm just going to copy and paste the same message?

Musing.io is basically a website where you can ask and answer questions, just like Quora. Except, it's on the Steem blockchain and you basically earn money for writing out decent answers and questions. I think I'm making around $30 per week, just by spending like 30 minutes a day on there. Not that much, but it's a pretty fun community. Is anyone else active there? https://musing.io/

That is why I never tried to gambling using fiat because it would need longer to process and besides that, I don't think that it is legal in my country. But with using the cryptocurrency as the bets, I can try to playing gambling in many gambling websites, and I am sure that many of them that can process the deposit and withdraw in a fast way and depends on the network itself. Many gamblers will always be happy to see their withdraw process doesn't take a longer time to arrive at their wallet.
I'm not sure if gambling with cryptocurrencies would actually be legal in that case. If regular gambling is illegal in your country, I don't see how gambling with cryptocurrency would be legal. I'd still use a VPN if I were you

Just found this disturbing news on the ETC subreddit. It appears as though ETC's Github has been compromised by possible hostile actors. I'll cross-post the thread here: -- ETC Community Notice -- To the ETC community, miners, stakeholders and fanatics. This may be the most important point in ETC's history. More important than ETH hard forking from our network. ETC Declaration Of Independance Crypto-Decentralist Manifesto -- Key Information -- TRUSTED ENTITIES Github: https://github.com/ethereumclassic This is the only TRUSTED code repository for ETC going forward Website: https://ethereumclassic.org Forum: https://forum.ethereumclassic.org/ Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/EthereumClassic Twitter: https://twitter.com/eth_classic Discord: https://discord.gg/z9QjkhTRUSTED 3rd PARTY ENTITIES ETCDEV Github: https://github.com/orgs/ETCDEVTeam PARITY Github: https://github.com/paritytech PARITY Wallet: https://github.com/paritytech/parity-ethereum IOHK Github: https://github.com/input-output-hk MANTIS Wallet: https://github.com/input-output-hk/mantisUNTRUSTED ENTITIES HOSTILE Github: https://github.com/ethereumproject DO NOT USE THIS ORG GOING FORAWRD. IT IS CONTROLLED BY MANIPULATION AND ALL SOFTWARE IS CONSIDERED A SECURITY RISK. HOSTILE Entity: https://www.dfg.group/DO NOT USE ANY SOFTWARE PRODUCED THROUGH THESE ENTITIES AS THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED. USE SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THEY HAVE PROVEN MALICIOUS AND HOSTILE AND THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT ELSE THEY MIGHT DO. KEEP YOUR ASSETS SAFE!! -- What Happened -- ETCDEV's development team was manipulated into making Github organizational changes requested by DFG - Digital Finance Group which runs ETC Labs to add an owner to the EthereumProject Github Organazation. After multiple requests, the developer believed to be Eric Yang a.k.a krykoder was granted ownership roles on the Github organization. Shortly following in a malicious act founded by DFG management, all original owners were removed so that DFG could have controlling access of the Github organization. After failed attempts to have Github restore proper ownerships. Github citing their TOS and failing to do what is right, along with the unresponsive and cold nature of DFG, we came to the conclusion this was indeed a malicious takeover brought on by the hands of DFG's management team. DFG later published a public statement talking about doing what is best for the ecosystem, and sitting high and mighty on what they think was in the best interest of ETC. They made no attempts to talk with the community, its stakeholders, or anyone else involved with ETC to come to this decision. This has now been deemed a malicious attack on the ETC network, with hostile parties controlling the original Github organization. We made one final attempt to reach out to James from DFG in order to revert their hostile actions, but were met with silence. The same group claiming to be doing what is in the best interest for ETC has nothing to say to the 6,000 member community. This does not align with their false public statements of doing what is best for the ecosystem. -- What can you do -- We need every community member, miner, stakeholder and fan of ETC to voice their dismay loud and clear to DFG that this will not be tolerated. DFG intends to centralize the network, the governance behind it and the future of ETC through its software development team ETC Labs. WITHOUT ANY SAY FROM YOU! Please share this information, write your disapproval to DFG and ETC Labs management teams and let them know this will not be an acceptable way to act on our decentralized network. ACT NOW! Beat the war drum on the doorsteps of these malicious actors.

Your title is pretty misleading, they clearly did give you a reason for banning you. Obviously, I can't know who's telling the truth here, but if you did double spend, then it's pretty logical that they banned you for that.
In the future, play at casino's that require at least one confirmation for deposits to show up in your account. Then there's absolutely no way that 'mistakes' like these could happen, if it was a mistake in the first place.

I don't really think that's too weird actually, lots of countries force businesses to also keep accepting cash payments. It's pretty normal that you'd want people to be able to spend your nation's currency in as many ways as possible.
The advent of electronic payments shouldn't cause certain groups of people to be left out.

That was the news that made ETH price fall from $ 500 to $ 95. a sad year for the ETH fans. I do not invest in ETH but I feel ETH seems to be manipulated by so many different businesses. I can not believe it. The new XRP is really a giant that needs attention!
What the hell are you talking about??? This is about ETC aka Ethereum Classic, not ETH This is very serious and if the whole almighty ethereum classic is shut down then I don't think we have hope for many of those under perform coins. Many of the altcoins especially the one that has strong foundation has lose over 90% of it last year December value and the market keep falling and that is why we are lose very serious hope on them. Investing into the market is scaring and that makes most of the projects that need fund not having enough fund to prosecute the projects and many of the running icos are not having enough fund to prosecute there projects.
Haven't you read the reply I've posted just now? I literally just said that they're putting together a new team... This is definitely not the end of ETC. Besides, even if all the paid development teams quit, I'm sure that the community would just keep developing, albeit at a slower pace.

Damn, why these things happen to good projects and solid team? Let's hope that the ETC community will manage to survive and that ETC will come out of this stronger. There are countless questionable alts out there (most of them are worth next to nothing), and I really hope that they they will be the ones to be wiped out by this bear market.
Yeah, I quite like ETC actually. After the whole DAO incident, they chose to take the hard route and stuck with it. They're actually not doing that bad in this bear market and I would be sad if they disappeared. That said, I have some inside information that they're working on getting a new team together. The keynote speaker of the ETC conference in Hong Kong, Meredith l. Patterson is looking to join the development team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqqdFufARXAThey're looking on completely changing the project in a way that I didn't think was possible. Basically incorporating Langsec principles into the project. Langsec (Language-theoretic Security): http://langsec.org/

Who's with me?
Not me, because I'm not an idiot. Sorry to be this harsh, but if you're investing more than you could cope with, you're an idiot. Why would you invest that much money into Bitcoin, so you don't have anything left to buy gifts for the people you love? Look, this whole tradition of giving gifts might be a little bit silly, I get it... But you're basically saying that you don't have any extra funds now.

@s0lidus or CG:
Do you also see it when referrals play with faucet claims? Or do they actually have to deposit before you can start earning from them?
No deposit required, and no you don't see if they wager faucets or deposited funds. Well, in a way you can, since you can see a player's faucet claims.. but not detailed how much wager from faucet and how much from depo. Aha, thanks for the info! Even though I now see that I asked this question a little bit weirdly Doesn't matter too much, it's not like you'd earn a lot from those referrals anyway. Was just a bit curious.

Great that you've featured Partiko! I've been using the app myself for almost a month now and I'm generally very happy with it. Steem could definitely use some more exposure and articles like these definitely help a lot!
Are you planning on featuring more Steem-related apps etc.?

The casinos that impose withdrawal reviews are usually pretty small nowadays and you won't find many of them as people tend to gravitate towards casinos with quicker transaction speeds. Most of them have gone out of business or aren't too popular.
What? That definitely not true, pretty much all fiat casino's have delays on payments and quite a few cryptocurrency casinos have them as well. I mean just look at this thread, enough people have provided examples of casino's that make you wait days before receiving payments. Not only that, they also randomly lock payments for review.

Wow! this is a big help, appreciate it. all of that sites accepts bitcoin for mode of payment?
Yeah they all use Bitcoin. For sportsbetting, you can also use https://nitrogensports.eu/Though I don't think they offer betting on racing games. They do have a lot of different sports included on their website though. Can definitely recommend Crypto-games for regular gambling, they accept Bitcoin and a number of altcoins. https://www.crypto-games.net/

It reminds me of all those ICO's with fanciful presentations promising lands of milk and honey, and where are they all now?
Bankrupt? Some of the people who are promoting this are really delusional, almost sounding like conspiracy theorists. I once went to a meetup in Brussels with the 'president' of Liberland and he was basically saying that BCH was Satoshi's real vision. Also mentioning that if you supported core, he wanted nothing to do with you. Needless to say, I left that meetup pretty soon after that. He's sputing the same bullshit all over his Facebook pages. Same with some people I've met through Steemit, got talking about Bitcoin and they suddenly mention that they believe everything Roger Ver says about Segwit & lightning being evil etc. Tried going into discussions with them, refuting their points, but it was like talking to a 5 year old toddler.

At the moment the Altcoin Discussion section is completely lost to spam. I've been meaning to try, and actively report there to try, and save the section however, I haven't got around to that yet. It would be nice if we had a Technical Support in the Altcoin section too. There's just so many threads which could be categorized better for a more efficient viewing of the section, but currently we are stuck with all kinds of posts related to altcoins in the discussion section.
If you want to get some actual serious discussion on altcoin-related threads, it might be better to just post them in the altcoin service discussion boards, if applicable. That's somewhat of a workaround I've found. Aside from that, I think it would be more useful to focus on reporting spamming users than to just report threads. Most of the spammers there have post histories that would be eligible for a ban, I think.

@Patatas I think it might have happened once before, but I'm not sure about that. Anyway it's probably so long ago that I don't remember. Yeah, I think I'm the 'oldest' participant in the CG campaign. They've paid me since 2016 at least, I think even since 2015, but the records don't go that far back ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FQPl9SI7.png&t=664&c=dAcRHwC6pCNO2g) Yeah I definitely don't distrust CG or Lutpin. I've always known him to be a man of his word and he's generally very punctual as well.

As said above, most of the people use fake documents. These platforms don't ensure users fund's safety. If you want to lend or get a loan, the best place is the lending section in the forums. From all the options I've seen, It's probably the least risky.
Completely right about that, there's a couple of topics in this forum of loans not being paid back on BTCjam. The lenders are named and shamed, but they just don't care or now some poor guys personal information is up there while they might not have anything to do with it. (in case of forged documents) I do think there are some valid alternatives outside of this forum. Salt also comes to mind, but they do require collateral in the form of crypto. https://saltlending.com/The thing is, if people have valid collateral, they usually don't need a loan

fiat lending programs are already too risky. isn't it riskier with blockchain?
Depends, if you are able to get valid collateral, there's not much risk to it. The thing is that most people don't even bother with that, in those cases p2p lending is extremely risky indeed. Keep in mind that even if borrowers provide you with ample proof of identity, they could still not care about paying you back. Or they might be using forged documents.

And test this idea is not so difficult. It is enough to take a small mining farm to the ISS and see what happens. And in the distant future, perhaps, they will build entire orbital cities for mining.
You're completely wrong about that, sending small packages up to space is extremely costly. (see @stompix reply) I've read a similar thread once and the conclusion was that it would be far too difficult to send data back to earth reliably. Can't find the other thread any more, but I think it was about setting up a mining farm on the moon or something.
