121  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC to Tether for percentage gain on: April 02, 2024, 11:11:13 PM
The reason some long term Bitcoin owners just decided to HODL is because they don't want to go through the stress of selling tops and buying dips. Catching the top and the dip seems easy until you try to do it.

Imagine you sell off at $75K, think that is the top, but then the price continues to go all the way up to $150K. Someone who HODL all the way is on the upper had. Something as trying to catch the dip at 40K but then the price drops to $15K
122  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: More than 10 phishing wallets detected on the Snap Store, be careful on: April 02, 2024, 10:55:12 PM
It's crucial to stay vigilant when using the Snap Store and avoid suspicious wallets to protect against phishing scams. Consider using additional security measures like two-factor authentication for added protection.
2-factor authentication is mostly a thing of centralized exchanges and custodial wallets. It does not help if you import your seed to a malicious wallet software. The hacker or scammer can spend the Bitcoin anytime he/she wants.

But yeah people have been talking about macOS and Linux being much safe operating systems, but this is no guarantee the hacker will try to create malware for their app stores too. Always verifying the signatures is key!

LeGaulois there have been big changes in the mixer world in the past few weeks.

Puremixer decided to shut down — https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5477452.msg63821211#msg63821211
There is word that Yomix is now scamming people. It is also said they Yomix is linked to sinbad and 4 other mixers — https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5477452.msg63892572#msg63892572
Giving you a heads-up in case you haven't seen the info yet.

Thanks for posting screenshots with more information, but I don't understand this last part.
I can't be certain what exactly happened and if something was staged and fake, but I looked for government sources in the time that incident happened.
There was official statement from US state department claiming they sanctioned and seized sinbad, and U think there was even a seizure number posted somewhere:
Quote
"The Federal Bureau of Investigation has seized the service in accordance with a seizure warrant pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 981 and 982 as part of a coordinated international law-enforcement operation."
https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1933
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/us-seizes-sinbad-crypto-mixer-used-by-north-korean-lazarus-hackers/

But looking at this again now, and maybe it was just sanctioned, not actually seized.
Now this reminds me of the account that registered here and posted about the seizure even before any member in the forum got to know about it.

Could they have premeditated the whole move?  Shocked
125  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Does Interacting with Solana Dapps also require revoking approvals afterward? on: April 02, 2024, 09:22:00 PM
Solana is a pretty interesting chain that seems a little different from ETH, BSC, Polygon etc. What I would like to know is if interacting with different dapps on Solana blockchain can easily get your wallet drained like it has been the case with the like of ETH, BSC…
Is there any trustworthy tool that has been used before that can revoke approvals on Solana addresses?

I see so many articles and some could have been posted by scammers, so I am skeptical trusting the links of revoking apps they share. It could be a way of trying to steal seeds/private keys.

126  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: The due: please think before supporting or opposing a scam accusation on: April 01, 2024, 11:55:48 PM
Some of them were even directly blaming the community for judging a case without knowing the inner information.
It's hard to make proper judgement if there is limited information shared by the accused.
Maybe what the sportsbook representatives can do is to try to use independent arbitrators of their choice to solve such disputes if they can not share sensitive information with the community.

A user having over half a dozen scam accusations against different casinos in just that short period of time definitely raises some flags. You can't be that unlucky, even if you are a serial gambler.
127  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why technical analysis is not reliable on: April 01, 2024, 11:35:28 PM
It's why when you are trading, risk management is very important, no matter how sure one is about the trend of the market and no matter what Technical Analysis tells them. But there are some traders who urge that they never use risk management tools like stop loss. Perhaps they just use a small portion of their equity to trade, or they have probably never had their account get burned when there is a catastrophe in the market.
128  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Unveiling the Next Crypto Gold: Palladium - Decentralized, PoW on: April 01, 2024, 11:07:54 PM
Next crypto Gold?
I just read your announcement and there is nothing special about your coin except just being a copy and paste of the Bitcoin concept. Do you have any idea of how many altcoins have tried to be copycats of bitcoin and made nowhere in the long run?

For example, what makes you think people will gradually abandon using Bitcoin or other altcoins and instead use Palladium coin?
129  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Atomic Stealer - Mac OS malware that targets crypto wallets on: April 01, 2024, 10:44:36 PM
Like they always say. “No system is 100% secure” The hackers are smart, and they know that people “trust” macOS and Linux more than Windows and Android and so will look for a way of creating malware for such Operating systems too
It's a very bad security practice to completely let one's guard down just because they think they are using a purported secure operating system.

That being said. uBlock Origin has really done me a huge service to block all those unnecessary ads from my browsing results.
130  Economy / Lending / Re: Loan Request on: April 01, 2024, 10:23:20 PM
Julia, if you want to get a loan in the next 10 mins, simply sign a message from the address holding the USDT.   Then I can hold it for you until you get you 0.15BTC, at which time I will send it to your lender at no extra cost/fee to you.

Please reply here if interested, and not PM.  Smiley
I think I have an idea about what Julia is trying to do. He/She is probably try to pull off a fake USDT scam. They have no real USDT, but they are probably looking to trick someone by sending Fake USDT as collateral in exchange for the Bitcoins.

It completely makes no sense needing a BTC, yet they already have USDT that they can exchange in under 5 minutes
131  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Rollbit account locked (Closed with 2.3k in it) no option for withdrawal. on: April 01, 2024, 09:59:25 PM
My KYC was rejected as I am from the UK which is restricted on rollbit.
Bummer. You should have carefully looked through their terms of services before making any deposits. United Kingdom clearly appears in the list

You are not allowed to register on the Website and use our services if you are a resident of Aruba, Australia, Belgium, Bonaire, Curacao, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Netherlands, North Korea, Saba, Slovakia, Spain, St Maarten, Statia, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, U.S.A or the U.S.A dependencies, United Kingdom. We reserve the right to refuse customers from any other countries over and above the aforementioned jurisdictions at our own discretion.

When I visit the site from a restricted IP location, I even get a warning though it's easy to ignore, but they do put an effort to warn you.


About the balance, since you have withdrawn more than you deposited, you are definitely not going to get the remaining money back since you breached the terms of service
132  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Rollbit account locked (NOT A SCAM ACCUSATION - LOOKING FOR ADVICE) on: April 01, 2024, 09:11:59 PM
Apologies - I mean from the same IP Address and not related to the current balance in the account. Sorry this wasn't clear - just stating that i have been playing over the weekend without a vpn etc and there was no issues until now.
In other words, in the past few days you deposited $500, won about $4,868.75 in total. You withdrew $2,500 without any issues but then when you decided to withdraw the remaining $2,368.75, you started getting issues with a rejected KYC verification… Am I right?

Did they give you any reason why your KYC was rejected?
133  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Shuffle.com Airdrop Scam on: April 01, 2024, 09:02:20 PM
That friend of yours in another country, do you know him to a personal level?

How did you conclude that both of you are winning players if it's a completely different account by a different user in a different country?


I am just trying to find answers.
134  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: CEX.IO & My Frustrating Experience BE CAREFUL on: March 30, 2024, 11:43:44 PM
Please be patient and reach out to the technical team for assistance. Your feedback is valuable in helping CEX.IO improve their services.
Just to be clear, are you one of the representatives of CEX.io based on your responses so far?
Could you provide as some proof? Like an official introduction from CEX

The last thing we want is an impersonator getting sensitive details from the victim.
135  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ETC pools are shutting down one by one ... on: March 30, 2024, 11:22:50 PM
Having fewer mining pools means more centralization of ETC, which is a bad thing in the long term. Therefore, if you are an investor, it is better to think about trying to mine something else or sell your ETH as soon as possible.
It doesn't matter for ETC anyway.it's been a pretty fucked up chain anyway for one to worry about centralization  Cheesy
The chain has even suffered 51% attacks more than a couple of times: https://neptunemutual.com/blog/ethereum-classic-51-attacks/

2miners.com and f2pool.com are suitable options and allow you to mine another ALT pair.

mikeywith has something to say about F2pool — https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5481246.msg63489044#msg63489044. You might want to think twice about it.
136  Economy / Lending / Re: Loan Request on: March 29, 2024, 11:25:31 PM
What's the point?

You already have $78K in stable coin. Use it for whatever you want to do with the loan instead of offering it as collateral. If it was some other cryptocoin you didn't want to sell, I would understand.
137  Economy / Lending / Re: Why do you take a loan on this forum? on: March 28, 2024, 11:45:50 PM
Maybe because it's a crypto loan, so if there's something they want to do online like payments and instead of having to borrow cash and then first converting it to crypto. A crypto loan would be more direct. Other members get payments from the forum signatures, so I think they find it easier to get no collateral crypto loans and just pay within a month using the signature earnings.

I believe there are several reasons members borrow loans. Borrowing loans to trade and gamble is a little extreme IMO unless if the person knows what they are doing and has a contingency plan.
138  Economy / Reputation / Re: AI posts and my feedback on the borovichok account on: March 28, 2024, 11:32:29 PM
What will the members that either had reservations or opposition to the one negative tag I left on the borovichok account in January 2024 say now to the two members that left negative tags on the borovichok account in March 2024 for the same conduct?

What is the message the same members now want to send out to those signature spamming, using AI and using others to login to their account and post on their behalf?
In the first case, I thought the member would change given that he had got a second chance. In fact, at that time, I didn't even bother leaving any neutral tag on his profile. What was disappointing was his continued use of AI to generate text with impunity many more times later.
Worse still, he went ahead to lie in his defense instead of admitting his mistake. Clearly the neutral tags from other members weren't helping.
139  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is meme narrative shifting from Solana to BASE, BNB? on: March 26, 2024, 11:59:28 PM
Seems like the narrative is shifting from Solana to BNB chains. Over the past few weeks, I've noticed Solana dominating the meme space with memes like SLERF, BOME, WIF, BONK, BENDOG
gaining significant traction. However, recently, it appears that the momentum has slowed down, and other chains like BASE, BLAST and BNB are gaining prominence.
The momentum my have slowed down, probably because of so many rug pulls, but at the moment I think Solana is leading the meme coin game in terms of Transactions. The base hype was mostly due to some paid shills over the past couple of weeks, but we will see how long this goes on
Data from Dexscreener in the last 24 hours.

Solana: 24H VOLUME: $2.15B   24H TXNS: 7,028,121
Ethereum: 24H VOLUME: $1.97B    24H TXNS: 247,588
Base: 24H VOLUME: $15.25B    24H TXNS: 724,367
BSC: 24H VOLUME: $2.65B   24H TXNS: 1,408,970
140  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Philippines bans Binance on: March 26, 2024, 11:20:02 PM
What happens when you try to visit the exchange using a VPN service? Have they (Binance) also banned users from the Philippines yet? There's another country the Binance banned from using their platform. If I recall well, it's Nigeria. Apparently, the arrested two of their executives. Imagine!  Grin

How about other platforms like Kucoins, coinbase, Bybit. Are they still accessible?
