Mate, are you serious? I have a lot of altcoin wallets, just no Bitcoin wallets. I didn't know it was a prerequisite to have a Bitcoin wallet to be able to regain your account in bitcointalk after someone has hacked it, maybe it should be on the registration page. In fact, even comparing the two, having a bitcoin wallet and a phone number, makes you look like a fool. What percentage of the world population has a Bitcoin wallet and is it bigger than those who have a phone number? Even assuming that because I don't have a Bitcoin wallet I actually keep Bitcoin in exchanges is idiotic since I never even suggested such a thing. Bitcoin is the way to exchange my fiat into altcoins and vice versa but of course, someone so stuck on Bitcoin would never understand that  

Again, my PS was just a suggestion, to be considered. I already told you that. The logic failure is yours. I already told you that linking an account to a phone number would be beneficial to me and many users in here. Just call us dinosaurs for having a phone still, I don't care. The truth of the matter is that this is an easy way to prevent account hacking. Whether it can actually benefit the moderators from lowering the number of spam accounts, requires a bigger conversation. I believe it can. But I am talking about two separate things here and there's a reason I suggested it as an afterthought, which you just don't want to or cannot understand. That's okay. Not everyone can understand the way I'm thinking  

"The Bitcoin Forum is for users of Bitcoin"

That's a load of crap and you know it. Just check the number of posts in the altcoins section. I don't come here to read news and analysis about Bitcoin, I come here for the altcoin section. And if there was a way to make a poll about the reasons people are in this forum, you'd see that despite the name, people come here for different reasons than that. Only people who have yet to scratch the surface of this forum think that all these users come here because of Bitcoin. Are you one of these people  

Edit: LoyceV, I will give some thought to your suggestion on the matter of the paper wallet. However, I believe that a forum such as bitcointalk should offer its members some sort of extra protection. I've been in forums that have 2FA as an option and they're definitely smaller than this one, so I don't know what the big deal is about doing this or having the option (again, I'm suggesting it to be optional) to link your phone number to your account to make sure it's not easily hackable.

Check your wallet, the Sunday payments have started. I hope you have good profits 

Well, for starters, I don't care if it's mandatory or not. Which is why I added it as a PS, an afterthought if you will, that the moderators should consider it. I would like the phone number validation to be an option, though. Most people have a phone.

I'm not sure a discussion over whether I am using Bitcoin or not is worth having with a person who doesn't have a phone.

Written from my phone  

That's really good! Let's keep it up, people! Vote for DeepOnion to get listed on Eucoin and the rest of the exchanges that have made polls which include our coin!

To be honest, I find the security measures in this forum ludicrous especially if you consider that many accounts here belong to members who are trying to start or promote a business, whether that is a cryptocurrency coin/token or trading or something else. There's no confirmation e-mail even. At first, when I signed up I thought I had made a mistake in typing my e-mail and it had gone to a wrong address. There's no 2FA, no SMS verification, nothing... It's basically a hacker's paradise.

Staking Bitcoin address? Well, sorry that I don't have a permanent one. All my Bitcoin addresses are given to me by exchange sites so there would be no point. I think that the powers that be of this forum should try to look at this from the members' point of view. There's a huge chance that at some point many of our accounts will be hacked. I've seen it happen and I've seen the huge inconvenience it has caused.

So, please, if any moderator reads this, do not act defensively to my words. I only seek to protect myself and the rest of the members. Please, give us a second security measure besides our password to ensure that we'll be safer and that our accounts will not fall into the wrong hands. Remember, accounts in the wrong hands won't be beneficial for you guys either since these guys will probably sell these accounts to third parties of scammers or spammers.

PS: The phone validation would solve lots of problems with spammers in this forum. Just saying.

That's true, people should know what they're investing in. The problem is that even nowadays, many people barely know how to operate a computer, let alone what Bitcoin is. Sure, they've heard about Bitcoin but they don't know what it is and they are even surprised a lot of times when they find out that it's not the only cryptocurrency out there. I've had to explain to my family lots of times what DeepOnion is and its usefulness or how it is better than other coins and I don't think they still get it.

Μάλλον θα πρέπει να περιμένεις να ξεκαθαρίσει το τοπίο γιατί αυτή τη στιγμή εγώ τουλάχιστον καταλαβαίνω ότι είμαστε σε μία μεταβατική φάση μετά την άρνηση της Visa και της Master Card να συνεργαστούν με οτιδήποτε έχει σχέση με crypto. Θεωρώ ότι μελλοντικά τα πράγματα θα καλυτερέψουν, είτε θα υπάρξει διαλλακτικότητα από μέρους των τραπεζών και των εταιρειών αυτών είτε θα δημιουργηθούν λόγω ζήτησης νέοι τρόποι που θα διευκολύνουν τη μεταφορά από cash σε crypto και το ανάποδο.

Could be. One thing is for sure: one of these days DeepOnion will rise and then we'll have people complaining that they can't buy cheap Onions anymore. So better get them now 

Now that's how an informative article should look like! I expected nothing less from Crypto Vokain  

Ωραίος!
Εμένα δεν μου έχει έρθει ακόμα αλλά δεν θεωρώ ότι έχει αργήσει κιόλας. Σίγουρα θα προτιμούσα να ενημερωθώ πρώτα από άλλους πριν βάλω λεφτά 

You don't need merit points to get to junior member, I think. Just to make it to 30 activity points. So, with the next activity cycle, he will rank up.

One more week of airdrop is over. 10 weeks left, whoever hasn't registered yet can still manage to register and be a part of something great 

Ναι, θα έλεγα ότι είναι παραπάνω από πιθανό να είναι scam.

Ανταλλαγές merit έχουν ήδη αρχίσει παντού, αν είναι κάποιος γραμμένος σε οποιοδήποτε site σχετικό με crypto θα έχει δει σχετικά ποστ. Οπότε ποιος θα την πληρώσει; Τα κακόμοιρα μέλη που θα έρθουν σε αυτό το site χωρίς διασυνδέσεις και χωρίς δεύτερο account. Γιατί αν έχεις δεύτερο account, απλούστατα στέλνεις merit από το ένα στο άλλο. Αν δεν είσαι τελείως τούβλο να το κάνεις πολλές φορές και να σε πιάσουν, δεν έχεις κανένα θέμα.

Η Ν26 τελικά μου φαίνεται η καλύτερη λύση από όλες και δεν χρειάζεται και βιντεοκλήση για επιβεβαίωση 
Αυτό που αναρωτιέμαι είναι πότε θα φτάσει η κάρτα. Όταν συμπλήρωνα τα στοιχεία για να τη στείλουν μου έγραφε πολύ λίγες μέρες (4-5 εργάσιμες νομίζω αλλά δε θυμάμαι και καλά οπότε μη με σταυρώσετε αν κάνω λάθος) αλλά δεν λογαριάζουν τα ελληνικά ταχυδρομεία βέβαια.
Μία άλλη κάρτα που είχα παραγγείλει από την Advcash είχε φτάσει πολύ γρήγορα για τα ελληνικά δεδομένα. Σε δύο βδομάδες ήταν στο σπίτι μου.

Πότε θα μάθουν ότι το google translate από αγγλικά σε ελληνικά είναι ό,τι χειρότερο 

Guys, I think it starts from week 31 so it should be next week's airdrop. I just remember the number 31 as the first one for this. And it makes sense because 31-40 weeks are the last 10 weeks.

Voted. The Eucoin is a really hard one to achieve because they have us on the "Other" section and not even high on the list. I had to scroll very carefully to find DeepOnion, the list isn't even in alphabetical order.

I joined but my account is pretty new. I don't know if it will matter to have a subscriber like me  

Has everyone updated their wallet to the new 1.5 version (or the newest 1.5.5)? Even if you don't need the newest protocols, you should do it. My updated wallet runs smoother and I get more connections now than before.
