Wow such easy to copy signatures, much wow

This is a suggestion from your side . Right  Huh
Better write it clearly becasue when i saw your post, i immediately open one of the campaigns to see if this new feature is implemented but it was not the case.


I mostly find it difficult to copy signature from my smartphone, but anytime I want to copy it became too bulky for me to get the line I want to copy since my android phone is not that large enough for me and most of it are very tiny to view. I wait whenever I gets to my pc I turn on and apply code, but if that copy option could work fine with smartphone it will be nice then with pc users can manually just take like 5 to 10 second to apply code & avatar.

Copying the signature code manually may be difficult on the smartphone but it is very easy to copy signatures on the computer. You just need to select the right text (only code) by selecting the code from the top till the end by scrolling with the mouse and pressing the Ctrl+ C and then pasting it with Ctrl+V on the signature space. I don't think anyone should face any difficulty with this. Doing it once or twice makes you an expert on this.  Wink

Investment in bitcoin can makes you developed reasoning on how to expand your income, most people who do holdings for a long period of time makes enough money at every running of bulls price and they begins to diversified their investment into different places. Some expands to mining, trading and physical business but when you eat you investment at every little price increase or drops you tends to remained statics, holding is a good option no matter the current price. Some people who became big bitcoin investors became it as a result of holdings.



There are very few people who realize the power of holding Bitcoin. It may take time to hold bitcoin but the profits of holding can't be compared with the profits gained in trading bitcoin.

Most people are involved in trading bitcoin and they are happy making some daily / weekly profits, but they don't realize the potential in holding bitcoin for a long time period. As said by some experts, with trading you may get the kitchen money or the money with which you can bear the daily expenses but the real money which can make you a millionaire comes from holding bitcoin.

Also, there are chances that you may lose money in trading but if you can hold Bitcoin for a full cycle of four years, you may never lose your investment.

Which are best stake alternatives
I search for good casinos with similar original games

Stake is already a good casino, so if you are playing at stake, why do you look for alternatives when stake.com is already providing you with good services?

Anyways, you will not find anything similar to stake in terms of interface, etc but there are many other trusted gambling sites (many of those have ANN threads on bitcointalk), where you may play. Everyone has their own preference on which gambling site they want to play but one thing is common they want to play at a good, trusted gambling site so they are not scammed by them.

Whichever you new site you try as a stake alternative, better to check its reviews before gambling there with your money.

Note: Any member are free to give advice or any ask for any change which are suitable to become this thread more beneficial.

I like your initiative and also appreciate that you care and are concerned about members so that they don't land on phishing scam sites and lose their money especially if it is related to cryptocurrency sites. However, if you will search on Google, you will find there are a lot of phishing sites, and new phishing pop up every day that it is impossible to keep track of them.

I would suggest bookmarking the exchange/wallets/investment sites that we visit often so that we don't land on scam site if we search those sites. Secondly, i have seen google ads showing many scam sites at the top when you search for any site, so better avoid using Google search. I prefer to use DuckDuckGo search engine (https://duckduckgo.com)
1105  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: I was scammed to invest and left with a watch only wallet on: April 26, 2023, 10:14:13 PM
I'm not sure if there's anything I can do but I invested allot (all I have) in "forex" and it turns out to be a scam. I was left with a 'watch only' wallet. Any advice?

The information you provided here is insufficient to conclude anything and we can't give you any advice based on what you have written here.

As per the little information you provided, the one thing i can say is why did you invest a lot in something (either forex or bitcoin) that you can't afford to lose? Look like you're one of that greedy people who want to become rich quickly and scammers exploit this behavior and scam you.  Sad

Please provide more details and perhaps someone will be able to give you a piece of better advice.

__SNIP__

There is nothing in the post to quote and answer I am quoting this for the notification to the OP, Dear please elaborate on the motive behind this masterpiece. I want to know if you can explain it in a simple flow, you are trying to explain the importance of consistency and patience in the crypto market and financial life which allows you to change your destiny, without both of them you can't be successful that's it.

This is what I understood from the Post nothing more than that, I think my understanding skills need to be improved, and I will defiantly try to work on it (On My Understanding Skills).

__SUTLAN HAMZA___

OP is trying to say that most people invest in BitcoinBTC and cryptocurrencies with a motive to become quickly rich which is wrong and most of the time they just expect too much from their investment and may eventually feel disappointed.

In every other investment, 10-20% ROI is considered very good but when people invest in Bitcoin they expect to attain 100% or even more ROI and also in a very short span of time.

Now the question arises, why do people expect such high returns from bitcoin investments Huh
Perhaps there are lot of success stories being published on social media where they tell that people just changed their fortune via crypto investments, Well, it's true but the ratio for those people is very less who become rich overnight.

Seriously screw Apple. This android is amazing. Lol jk. Apple is super simple to use, I kind of miss it.

Now can someone please tell me the best android bitcoin wallet software? Thx.

Which Bitcoin wallet were you using in your Apple iOS ?

You can use blue wallet or Electrum in your Android phone. Blue Wallet has a more user friendly interface as compared to the Electrum Andriod version.

Apple has the highest security features which Andriod lacks but i still believe that Andriod is more convenient to use unless you are living in an Apple ecosystem.
1108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto (btc) is not for the weak on: April 25, 2023, 11:58:05 PM
Crypto currency as a whole despite its advantages can be very risky. It appear to me as a battlefield where only the strong can survive and weak ones will eventually give up. I came across this and it worth sharing not to scared us but to build hope in us that we are not alone on this.
It was reported that about 17 wealthiest investors and founders lost about $116 billion in less than a year.


You need to understand the difference between losing the funds and losing the portfolio value ? 
In crypto, there are times when the bear market takes over the bull market and crypto prices fall to even 80-90% down. At that moment the portfolio of all the retailers and institutions will be in net loss. However, everyone knows that this net loss will be eventually in profit when the bull market return so there is not much to be afraid of.

However, if you sold your bitcoin in loss, or if you were hacked, someone stole your Bitcoin, in that case, you will never be able to recover your money. That loss is permanent, and you should make each and every precaution so that you do not become a victim where hackers or you yourself lose your funds by your own mistake or carelessness.
1109  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: save seed phrase in song. on: April 25, 2023, 11:20:11 PM
The kids surely don't know about seed phrases
And the people around wouldn't have a clue of what is happening.
This could be a good way to save my seed phrase since it is not advisable to memorise it. Besides, all the kids memories cannot fail simultaneously.


Why do you want to make things complicated when you can just write your seed phrases on a piece of paper and save two or more copies of it at different places?
When you memorize children with your seed phrases, you never know if those kids will reproduce that song to their friends and to the general public. For sure someone may be clever to find a certain pattern on the poem and try their luck.

Do not trust your own memory or anyone's memory on seed phrases. One thing which you MUST understand about memory is that the memory to remember certain words only remain intact if you repeat them daily. If you stop respecting those seed phrases daily, the memory will start to fade out and eventually you will forget the phrases.

1110  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Coinomi wallet hacked, all funds stolen on: April 25, 2023, 10:59:39 PM
The best bet for the Newbies is to use a centralized exchange and / or centralized wallet which is controlled by the password and 2fa.
People should never sacrifice security for convenience even newbies. The centralized exchanges and in general all custodian accounts are very risky to use regardless of how convenient they may look like. There are countless cases of exchanges being hacked, accounts being shut down for no reason, exchanges scamming their users and running away, etc. No amount of password and 2FA can save you from it.

The reason i said this because newbies are well aware and used to access the websites which are accessed by passwords only. You can see the OP example where he loses the funds from Coinomi wallet and it is most probably because he was not able to safe guard his private seed (though he do not admit his mistake)


The best bet for the Newbies is to use a centralized exchange and / or centralized wallet which is controlled by the password and 2fa. Newbies know this stuff and until they learn about the seed phrases, wallets, and stuff the best option would be the centralized wallets.
No, this is not a recommended advice to give to newbies, if newbies start storing their funds in a centralized exchange, it will be hard for them to stop it, and before you know it they could have a large amount of funds stored in a centralized exchange, which is not safe for them, centralized exchanges gamble with users money, they can be hacked or they can even confiscate users funds without any notice. Newbies can start with a wallet like Electrum, it is so easy to use and they will have their seed phrase, though it is a hot wallet, but with time they will learn how to set up and use an airgapped computer in a safe enviroment or use a hardware wallet easily.

I never advise newbies or recommend them to use centralized wallets or exchanges. The only thing i am saying is that they should educate themselves on how to secure the seed phrases before storing their crypto in wallets like Electrum. Yes, the process is easy to learn but there may be some who may never want to learn.  Sad
1111  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will April be a red month? on: April 25, 2023, 10:47:10 PM
It is hard to detect how the price will close this month but I am very optimistic towards the candle ending with green in the month of April 30 and  May 1. Reason being that there were always a strong buying pressure whenever its around the bitcoin halving, although there may be an occurrence that would like effects or affect the market either positively or negatively. When i look at the bitcoin history around a year getting to halving it doesn't always ends the same with other years, although i am not good with candlestick predictions.

I do not understand the logic that bitcoin BTC price will have buying pressure on 30 April and 1 May near the bitcoin halving. There is still a lot of months before the bitcoin halving will take place and i do not think the coming 30 April will be any significant to have all the halving hype.

Now coming to the Bitcoin price in the month of April, we have already seen that Bitcoin price is dumping for the last few days. I am not bearish on it but the correction was due on bitcoinBTC as it was on a continuous uptrend. As long as bitcoin makes a higher low, i will be bullish on bitcoin (the exact price to be above 25200$ for HL)

1113  Other / Meta / Re: Scam accusation of a gambling site on: April 24, 2023, 11:51:41 PM
I have seen some members on this forum that reported gambling sites on gambling main board before, but some users on this forum posted that they should move the thread to scam accusation board. For me, I think the thread about allegation against a gambling site can also be on gambling main board where most gamblers on this forum can see it too, not necessarily about it to be in scam accusation board, but if it is in scam accusation board, there is no problem.

In short, what I am saying is that allegation against a gambling site can also be on the main gambling board or am I wrong? Answer from a moderator would be much appreciated.


We have Gambling ANN threads in the gambling board. Now if people start creating new threads about the scam accusations against those gambling sites in Gambling or Gambling discussion boards, then it will just create a mess.

Sometimes the OP who initiated the thread never locks it and it will become a discussion thread for the gambling sites too within the gambling board.  Also, many gambling campaigns want their participants to post in gambling discussion boards, these scam accusations threads will become a spamming heaven for those participants.

For me, all the scam related stuff whether is a scam by the gambling project or by any other crypto project should go in the scam accusations board. Yes, one may post on the said gambling ANN thread too that an active scam accusation is running against the casino, so those who do not visit the scam accusations board regularly know through the ANN thread what's going on with the casino.
1114  Economy / Economics / Re: Concers About Going in Business with a Friend on: April 24, 2023, 11:25:43 PM
Many years ago, I heard the story of a man whose business partner did dirty. They were business partners for almost 5 years and the suddenly the business partner left with company's money. Even after several years, this man didn't recovered. He ended up sounding it as a warning to his kids never to go into business with anyone. The trust was destroyed and never recovered. This is just one of those sad stories.

On the other hand, there are many success stories of friends who went into business together and succeeded to together. If you have ever gone into business with a friend, what were your biggest concerns and how did work through it.

It all depends upon how the friendship goes on as the business is being developed over time. The partnership can go on forever if both parties prefer friendship over money otherwise, we have seen that people will just forget about the friendship when money is involved in their matters.

Primary thing that needs to be in mind. Just invest and leave it. Try to be happy with what the friend give as profit share or regular basis or for specific time period. When both of you get into business activities it'll pay path for easy growth, but surely the problem arises and there are big chance of the business getting established on two locations providing the same services.

I wished it was as easy as you have explained but when you are doing business together and are the co-owner of the business, disputes may develop over decision-making and control. Many times, we have seen the two persons quitting the joint business and developing new business for themselves as sole owners.

I used chipmixer in March. I thought the private key he gave me would be deleted, but it turned out that it was not deleted. On March 16, my btc was transferred by the police.

It is the police that seized the chipmixer so do not expect them to return your money. By the way you are not alone here as Chipmixer Shuttered and $46.5 Million Seized
Quote
On March 15, national authorities took down the platform’s infrastructure and seized four servers, approximately 1,909 BTC from 55 transactions (worth approximately $46.5 million), and 7 TB of data.

I hope your money will be very less which is being lost in this operation.


I didn't commit a crime, it's just for privacy, so is there any way to recover my btc Embarrassed Embarrassed

No one is going to take this as an excuse and return your money. The authorities don't like privacy and they want everything to be transparent. They may go to any level to get it implemented.

There is nothing like post bursting.
If there is, it is not a problem to the forum.
If it was to be a problem, theymos would have edited the forum code such that you cannot post if you do not have upto 5mins delay after a previous post.
Since there's nothing like this implemented, it therefore means that post bursting isn't a problem.

Burst posting is a problem in itself as it will never help you make a constructive post.

For example, can you make let's suppose 4 good posts in a matter of 30 mins in different threads? You need to read the few posts above, understand the conversation and then post your point of view. If you are not doing this, then you're only posting to complete the quota of the campaign in order to get the payment.

By the way, you cannot survive long in a campaign with the habit of burst posting as good campaign managers will soon identify your behavior and replace you with those who pay attention to the details.
1117  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: To Trustwallet users. Vulnerability. Repayment. on: April 24, 2023, 04:55:26 PM

If you use Trustwallet browser extension between November 14 and 23, 2022, you need to read this:

https://community.trustwallet.com/t/wasm-vulnerability-incident-update-and-recommended-actions/750786
<snip>

If you have not been affected, send your coins to another address, I will suggest you to use an open source wallet instead of Trustwallet or other close source wallets.

Just for double confirmation, only the trust wallet browser extension is affected and those users who are using the trust wallet app in their phone are not affected due to this vulnerability ? I am not saying that the Trust wallet app is safe, but i think it is just the extension in this particular case, otherwise it would have created panic among the people as mostly use the app.

No it isn't. Trust Wallet is closed source, and ran by a company (Binance) which makes money from gathering data on its users and selling that data to blockchain analysis. It is one of the worst possible wallets you can use.

Ever since theymos mentioned the "Unstoppable wallet" in Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts, i have shifted majority my altcoins from trust wallet to Unstoppable wallet. I hope it is 100% safe now Huh
1118  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Will you sell because of situations? on: April 23, 2023, 08:31:58 PM
This story is pathetic, the man who introduce me to bitcoin, his kid sis was knapped 2 weeks now and the kidnappers are asking for a huge ransom of  N10 Million Nigeria currency but the whole thing looks like a plan work from some people close to him because many people know him to be crypto dealer. Now this money is never available anywhere, the man's only option is to sell his bitcoin and even if he does is not up to the amount. Do you advise he sells and bail his kid sister?  Everybody is confuse.

Many things happens this days, putting you on a test! At what situations did you think you can sell your bitcoin and forget about bitcoin like it has never exist in your life. Knowing well the situation you're into many must have passed it and scale through without selling. What then will make you to sell even if the price is against you?


The story doesn't seem to be real as it lacks human emotions. Will anyone hold the money when his sister kids are in life threat ? Do you think holding bitcoin is more important than the life of the kids?

Just listen to me, holding Bitcoin is important for everyone but more important is the life of our near and dear ones. You may sell the bitcoin and you may work hard, earn money and buy bitcoin again but kids, if anything happens to them, they won't return back. Seem like you do not have any emotions and you are a bot with no emotions. Angry
1119  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Why Coinmarketcap and Coingecko help scammers ? on: April 23, 2023, 07:59:05 AM
One of the biggest and well veiled scammer exchanges is Bibox, when peoples can't take their deposits from December 22. I find on the internet some dozen posts about it on different platforms. But Coinmarketcap and Coingecko think what this phrase: "We have received multiple reports from users being unable to withdraw funds from Bibox. Please exercise caution. "which you can see in exchange description enough for disclaimer and continue place quotes of scammers. I don't think so. They undermine confidence in the crypto industry.

Coin list sites will list almost everything because they least care about the scam and only care that everything is listed on their site so people do not need to visit any other site for coin/exchange tracking. Even such sites will not hesitate to list the scam projects if those projects paid them.

You may use these listing sites to get general information about the coins but if you want to invest in any coin and/or in any exchange better do the due diligence yourself. The money is ours and we need to take the responsibility of investing it in the trusted project.
1120  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Having bitcoin gives confidence on: April 23, 2023, 06:26:20 AM
When you talk about cryptocurrency, the first thing that goes into your mind is bitcoin, my advice to crypto investors is invest where you feel safe, which is bitcoin, when you buy bitcoin, you don't just buy an asset, you also buy peace of mind.the market can be sometimes crazy that even the dip will scare you for the value of your asset, but bitcoin will always be bitcoin, it always stand strong, it doesn't fail to rally back an most times even better, unlike most alt that wouldn't gives you peace once the dip is very strong,  I don't really know if anyone else feel the same way?

For sure, if you have Bitcoin with you, you should feel confident that you are holding a precious digital currency that will grow in value beyond imagination, which is decentralized, and more importantly, it is a non-inflationary digital currency. People call it digital gold, so it is not only currency but a store of value.

If you are holding any other altcoin, you are not sure whether it will survive a few months or years and whether will it be able to keep the interest of the investors however with Bitcoin you are confident that even if it dumps it will pump back. You can never lose in Bitcoin investment if you have the holding power.
