When there is full peace here, they come around, don't they?  Grin
Some are sore losers, others are scammers looking to squeeze out a penny or two by making baseless accusations without even any single required proof. Maybe they think members around here will be fooled by their antics. Time wasters.

Electrum doesn´t have this kind of failure? Is so much better than trust wallet that worths oppening a new wallet there?
Not any that I have seen in the recent times. Even if there was a bug, one can easily create an issue documenting the bug on github, the devs can look into it and fix the bug in the next update - https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues

Electrum is open source and the binary is reproducible.
Here is another reason to completely avoid closed source wallets like Trustwallet

here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5451215.0
New updates are pushing users to the importance of privacy and security, but sometimes some of them complicate the user experience.
It's by design and i don't expect it to be reverted. That feature protects users from leaking their seeds to third party keyboard, some of which might be malicious, and I 100% support it. Better safe than sorry. Bitcoin safety first. - https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/8256



How do you force Electrum for Android to only connect to one server? I do not see the options for this version. Maybe it is in an older version and I might have to install that first, set the option, then upgrade to this version. I do not like the app to connect to more than 1 server.
Under Network --> Server Settings --> Uncheck Select server automatically --> Select your preferred server --> Press Ok

That should pick that one server every time you load your wallet.

1144  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: A Non-Custodial wallet, Atomic Wallet, being compromised on: June 05, 2023, 01:51:49 PM
Why do people choose to not use reputable, open-source software when it comes to their life savings? I mean, you seriously don't think it's a good idea to spend an hour or two extra, to ensure you won't just let a stranger ruin your life?
I mean, we are still at a stage where lots of people still keep their life savings in centralized exchange and DeFi protocols  Grin
People are advised to avoid them year in year out, but they are still dumb and lazy enough to secure their money.

This incident should be one of those real life situations that highlights why a closed source wallet even if noncustodial is very dangerous. Reproducibility should also be emphasized.



XRP, a shitcoin, does not have any reputable wallet software for it.
1 more reason to avoid the shitcoin then  Cheesy



So the jerks provided an update on Reddit a few hours ago, but I gotta say it's the most useless update about such a grave situation
update...

At the moment less than 1% of our monthly active users have been affected/reported. Last drained transaction was confirmed over 40h ago. Security investigation is ongoing. We report victim addresses to major exchanges & blockchain analytics to trace and block the stolen funds.

Less than 1%!! Really?

How do they determine if the users were less than 1%. Why don't they value what has been drain in monetary terms instead of stupid percentages.

Why in the world would you not assume this just for sake of an argument?? Is it not possible to have a family member active on the same forum???
Since you admitted in the OP that, it's like hard to tell who is who through proof because of anonymity. I don't see why you should expect members to just believe what you say.

We have had so many similar cases in the past of people speaking about their sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, uncles etc

First of all, my reason for ban is still not clear and this address copying I myself bring it.
I think the reasons are pretty clear. Perhaps you should be to see the message in your account about your ban.

1146  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Fairspin.io SCAM my money on: June 02, 2023, 11:51:48 PM
Sure thing!
I gave all details in their official thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5371779.msg62343558#msg62343558
In other words, I was requesting to create a fresh scam accusation, but that will be your choice.

By the way, Fairspin.io isn't replying with their official account which shows how serious they are...
I was about to ask them a question.

Why create a brand-new account to respond to issues, yet there is an older account that is seemingly well established?
In fact, I almost requested @TruePlay_Affiliates to prove that they are part of the fairspin team
1147  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: P2P Scams : Where does the government stand on: June 02, 2023, 11:25:00 PM
I have made hundreds, if not thousands of p2p trades but never at any one moment did a scammer take any money from me. Of course once in a while, you will get those people that will try to scam you but if you follow all the p2p trading rules to the book, they will not have a single chance even during the appealing process.

I think sometimes people are too relaxed with their money

Having crypto is like having cash in your house under your personal control. In most cases, even Police won't protect you. If the money is stolen or gets lost in your house. It's very rare police will help you recover it.
1148  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Clarification Please on: June 02, 2023, 10:57:39 PM
This delay is due to gas fees being pushed up too high.
"Gas Fees" is the terminology used for in Ethereum and other similar blockchains, though. In Bitcoin, we use Transaction fee rate, transaction fees or miner fees.

It is possible to track how many days are left in the transaction hash
it's not entirely possible, though. The expected time of arrival is mostly based on the recent average block confirmation times, but this can change depending on how quickly or slowly the transactions get confirmed

Because to me and you it seems valueless but for the team it had a value. When a project starts, it starts with a dream and until it fails the teams always think they will have a successful project and fulfill the goal they have.
If they really value the tokens so highly then they should approach mainstream media and pay them using those tokens in order to be advertised and they will see how much of a joke it is.

If they value the tokens so highly, then why are they looking to be funded in BTC or ETH?  Grin

I'm one person who thinks the whole thing of advertising in exchange for tokens is just a complete scam. I mean, there are tools that can generate ERC20 in matter of minutes, but someone expects you to exchange your hard-earned Bitcoins or ETH in for the tokens created with zero effort... NAH, not for me.
1150  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Scams Bitcoin Mixers List and Services closed on: June 02, 2023, 09:56:57 PM
There are also 2 fake Crypto Exchanges which are SCAM and Phishing too:

Boomchange.io (SCAM - Fake Crypto Exchange)
Boomchange.com (SCAM - Fake Crypto Exchange)
I don't know if you have paid enough attention to the post, but this list is exclusive for scam Bitcoin mixers or tumbler. If you have time, then you can create a list of scam exchanges and maintain it

I'm also wondering why the funds are so often seized.

Another shocking thing is that all mixers closed by the law enforcement also got their BTC seized.
Sorry If I may not be having enough info on this but besides Chipmixer, Which other Bitcoin mixer has had their domain seized along size their funds?
1151  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Fairspin.io SCAM my money on: June 02, 2023, 05:44:43 PM
I've been scammed too.
Would you please take your time and show us how you were scammed?

OP's case is a little complicated. We are not sure if it's the casino that withdrew his funds or his login details actually leaked and s hacker stole his funds.

Here are all the things you can do quickly to get your money back :
How do you know?

You have just said that you were also scammed. Did you or did you not get your money back?
1152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: About 26000 USDT is stuck at CEX.io for more than 2 month!! on: June 01, 2023, 11:50:00 PM
For some suggestion for me, contact their support again to inquire about the delay. It's essential to maintain open communication with the exchange to resolve the issue. likelihood of a positive outcome.
If they delayed in responding to the initial message sent to the support, what makes you think they will see your second inquiry in time before looking on top the first one?
The truth is such platforms with so many customers will always have their customer service tied up solving different issues, thus the long waiting time. If one is not ready to wait for so long, then they should abandon such platforms and use less popular ones whether customer support will be quicker in case of any issue.
1153  Economy / Reputation / Re: Murat vs Metropoly - Who is honest and who is not? on: June 01, 2023, 11:20:55 PM
I think the bounty manager should be as transparent as possible. He should have given a detailed explanation on what happened and why the team reduced on the number of tokens. This would make it clear that the metropoly team are to blame and are out to scam, and to him and his bounty team. Deleting posts and blocking members asking about the bounty rewards won't help.

Up to today, I have failed to understand why the so-called teams that make value less tokens out of a thin air can't send them to a campaign manager or an escrow service before the campaign begins.



1154  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is synthetic indices manipulated on: June 01, 2023, 10:48:26 PM
Noticed how everything is OK until you start losing, and then it's hit you so hard and you start to think that the market is manipulated?
To me, I think it's a mind being in some phase of denial. It does not want to accept that you actually lost a trade for genuine reasons and looks for the next easiest excuse, which is market manipulation.

Same thing happens with all other types of financial instruments Stocks, ETFs, derivative contracts etc. For every form of trade, let's not only look at the profits, let's always look for ways of managing loses just in case things don't go our way.
1155  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scammed by Joon aka NetkaJoon / Alex Merg on: June 01, 2023, 08:54:25 PM
I submitted the work on 14th of May of which he's been online to see. But since then, he didn't reply any of my messages and have even went ahead to block me on Telegram.
Why did you ignore the existing scam accusations at that time?

Quote
I noticed another user have complained on the same issue here before. Therefore, I say aka Netkajoon /Alex Merg is a scammer here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5448658.0
The other user claims that payment was made to him. He afterward edited the OP of the scam accusation that he got back his money, though he didn't provide any proof to back up his claim

Proof of work submitted: : To be added shortly
Can you please provide this necessary information?
Especially the links of the spreadsheets in question.
1156  Other / Meta / Re: Forum Menbership- 3.5m registered only 56k members survived?..... Why? on: May 31, 2023, 11:43:58 PM
i do think there should be a static 728x60 banner on all pages thats available only for members to buy, to promote their own projects/programs. i think the userbase is active enough in the btc space to float a members only ad buy.
I don't know if you were around at the time, but there used to be an option for one to advertise their service using Ad banners. The ad spaces would be auctioned periodically, and the winners would have an opportunity to have their service banner delayed in the ad spaces

Theymos, however, suspended ad sales for a few reasons he mentioned, you can check out this post; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5407725.msg60976136#msg60976136
1157  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Wallet for Android / Re: Best wallet for Android? on: May 31, 2023, 10:53:02 PM
Keep in mind that the Electrum wallet that is based on the app isn't good to use, some features on the PC version aren't applicable to the app and I think other people will prefer to use another mobile app than the Electrum.
But electrum PC version is also an app just like the mobile version. I don't know why you said electrum based on app isn't good to use. Maybe you are mixing up a few things. If I guessed right. You should be using a mobile app vs PC app comparison

This Nunchuk wallet is new to my ears, I didn't even hear it before.
And based on this article,
Quote
Nunchuk’s mission is to make multisig the gold standard — no pun intended — for owning Bitcoin.
IMO, they are good as a multisig wallet.
Nunchuk is new to your ears and yet you go ahead to conclude how good it is as a multisig wallet? How did you know this if you never used the wallet before?

What is the point of all these free bets, if the winnings are taken away anyway.
It's as though they told you to write to their support. I am not sure if you did or did not, but to would have been nice to update us on the outcomes if you wrote to them.

Secondly, I noticed you complain a lot about them being scammers, but I have never seen you create a scam accusation in the board dedicated for reporting scam with all the proofs of how they have scammed you. Could you please do that if you are sure that they are scammers?
1159  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Looking for Beta Testers for TradeLink's Algorithmic Strategies Platform on: May 31, 2023, 09:43:28 PM
Just wondering.

Does the testing process involve testers connecting their exchange API keys to the platform?
I haven't very well understood how the platform works, any detailed documentation you can provide about the platform, Even a link would be helpful

I would also like to know how old the platform has been.
1160  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: May 30, 2023, 11:57:27 PM
Some people refuse to fill in their Kyc data for fear of being misused.
Which is normal. You have no damn Idea how your data is going to be stored over there

Quote
That's a natural thing, but is the worry too much?
Yes of course. Your personal data getting leaked could lead to a lot of bad outcomes
I know this is an old thread but I suggest you read through it to understand how KYC is a big threat; Why KYC is extremely dangerous – and useless


Quote
Now there are several gambling sites that do not require Kyc to withdraw funds. That's good news. But I don't know if big money withdrawal need Kyc or not. I've never withdrawn much money.
Some gambling sites do it illegally. If someone does not agree to carry out KYC then they should be able to give them back their money and close the account rather than force them to KYC.
