Most cases I’ve seen this happening was for deanonimization or advertising purposes. A deanonymizing dust attack works by sending dust to large amounts of addresses. The assumption is that when people send transactions/perform consolidations in the future, dust from multiple addresses will be grouped into a single transaction, thus revealing many addresses controlled by a single entity, since the dust would be swept in a single tx.
(this is somewhat of a simplification, since most parties interested in performing such attacks will also be using other data to group together multiple independent txs).
The best way to prevent against this attack is to:
Never spend dust in a transaction that consumes inputs from addresses that have not previously been linked by a transaction.
Don't spend dust at all.
This will lead to some utxo bloat, but if you are reusing your addresses, you can spend the dust when spending another utxo from the same address. If you are not reusing addresses, simply never spend it.
Some wallets, such as the Samourai Wallet (no affiliation), provide an option to mark dust as unspendable. For systems that you build, you will have to ignore such outputs yourself.

Where did you take this number from?
AFAIK, neither LocalBitcoins or Paxfull ever had any deposit fees.

and still you can tell me how to communicate with the moderator 'ThomasV'
Not sure what do you want to talk with him? Like I said: there is NOTHING he or anyone else can do to help you or recover your coins. Simple as that. He’s also well aware of the exploit and has made some changes on the latest version of Electrum (which you didn’t had) to help preventing people from falling for this scam. and yet they attacked me on the wallet that was downloaded from the official site of the electrum, so I don’t think that the electrum has nothing to do with it! No one denied that fact. Like I said, it’s an exploit on the Electrum software. Electrum didn’t “attack” you. The hacker did. At the end, you did download the fake software from the fake Electrum website (electrum.cf). Like I said, there is nothing he can do. ThomasV can’t recover your funds and I’m pretty sure he can’t take from his own pocket to pay you (if that’s what you are wondering). If you want my suggestion, just move on. Sadly that’s all you can do. |

I did not shy away and started everything from scratch, and now they have forbidden me because they saw a competitor in me
my account was blocked and I created a new one and did not break it.
Creating a new account while being banned is against the rules and that’s exactly what you did dumbass. You are just way too ignorant, dumb or cynical. there are many who create a new one after the ban and do nothing to them, Report them and they will. Otherwise, stop crying and just leave. You will never be unbanned no matter what you say. Deal with it. I am sure that you have more than one account Not everybody is a cheater like you. Either prove it or again, just stop crying and leave. That’s my last reply to your post. I’m not going to waste my time with you anymore. Enjoy the ban.  |

I did not break on the new account, why I was allowed a new registration, in the rules there is no such broke go away and do not come again, if it is, then show
Goodbye. 25. Ban evasion (using or creating accounts while one of your accounts is banned) is not allowed. |

why are you so strict with me? I didn’t do anything bad to anyone, there was an old mistake but I understood it and started everything in a new way, and you chase me from the forum as if I eat your food
You did something wrong. First commited plagirism which is ilegal or unethical in every single country and now broke the “no ban evasion” rule. And you want to keep doing it. You can’t “understand” and keep breaking the rules because it is convenient for you. Accept your punishment and leave. |

Please give me detail. I dont understand the reason for ban. Any problem with this case? Which rules i was violated please Your account Ken_1102 has been perma banned. This means that YOU are banned from the forum. You can’t create a new account (that would be ban evasion), which is exactly what you did. You created the account Ken_1202 and kept using the forum. Since that’s not allowed, they banned your new account. And if you start using this account (Ken_1212), you will be banned again. Repeating: YOU, as a person is perma banned from this forum. Just leave or you will keep getting your accounts banned. |

Tell me how to write to the moderator 'ThomasV'! I write that I can not write to him because I'm new!
Talking with ThomasV is useless. Let me explain what happened. A hacker found an exploit on the Electrum software that made possible showing fake erros messages for users connected in specific servers hosted by the hacker. The “please update to version 3.3.2” message you saw was fake. What you downloaded from that link was a fake Electrum wallet that automatically sent all your coins to the hacker’s address. Unfortunately, you can’t get your coins back. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible and your coins are gone. Not even ThomasV can help you. There is nothing anyone can do. Sorry. as I understand it all the same elect site itself? !!!! since my wallet was downloaded from the official site elecrum.org !!!!!!! Things went wrong when you downloaded the “update” (which is fake) from the websites mentioned at the fake “please update” error message. The only original website: https://electrum.orgThe fake website (from your screenshot): https://electrum.CF |

i never saw a post from theymos with less pages. are you all so afraid of loosing your money per post?  EDIT: @theymos: only 4 (including myself) dont earn something with their post in this topic. thats all you have to know
 Do you want to have a link in my sig?
I will make at least 10 post a week.
You can choose:
1. the color of the rectangle
2. behind which rectangle the link is.
Price: 15$ a week (7 days) in BTC for 1 rectangle.
I don't accept links that are NSFW.
If I find out that you try to scam people with whatever you advertise in my sig, I will remove the link and you don't get the money back.
You would like to use an escrow? No problem. Just recommend one.

Yelp, if I understood correctly, you did download and run the files from the fake links, right? If so, you got scammed and there is nothing else you can do.

You could just do a pay-to-many transaction and send a few coins (or the remaining balance) to your savings address.
I personally wouldn’t do that due to fees (when you want to spend from the savings account, there will be a lot of inputs from each transaction). I would just manually send a few coins weekly/monthly and call it a day.

I assume everything is generated server-side, so why would anyone trust you? Why wouldn’t you store the generated private-key and use it for whatever you want in the future?

That’s when you have to set up and escrow for the funds or at least sign a message from an address with more than the value being promissed (5 x 0.1BTC); otherwise, why would anyone trust you?
