121  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What tools are not enough for you to interact with cryptocurrency? on: September 12, 2020, 11:37:20 PM
First of all, I would like to see an application that allows a convenient format to view and make notes regarding my trading history.
I mean the full functionality for analyzing data for each transaction I completed. Of course, the application should be able to collect statistics from external platforms through API keys.

It is also desirable that the application had the function of creating notes in real time for each specific transaction, and could do this also in automatic mode.
Such functionality, of course, is best suited for beginners than experienced traders.
Although who knows, many experienced traders dream of good analysis tools.

122  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Average Congressman has nearly 60 years. Can those grandpas regulate bitcoin? on: September 12, 2020, 11:17:48 PM
This is the reason why we are developing so slowly. The old men have grasped power with their pale hands and do not want to give it up. This is a general global trend. In almost all countries, senior authorities are represented by old people. But who checks their decisions and judgments for adequacy? They are not touching, but at the same time, each of us has examples of old people who, at the age of 60+, no longer understand.

It seems to me that you pay too much attention to this. Why do you need to know who they are sending these funds to?

It makes sense. Firstly, the possibility of tracking the movement of stolen funds to some extent makes it difficult for hackers to launder them, given that the entire crypto community is watching this, no exchange can make a deal with hackers. Of course, they can use mixers, but if they have not done this yet, then they either do not want or something is bothering them.

Hackers Compromised The Billing Systems Of Pakistan’s Biggest Electricity Producer K-Electric With A Ransom Of $ 3.8 Million

K-Electric served more than 2.5 million customers in the country and faced disruptions in online payment and payment services following the attack. K-Electric engineers discovered the attack on September 7, but the power supply in the city was not affected.

Hackers used the “NetWalker” attack to compromise the company – a strain discovered in 2019 that infected popular software applications running on Microsoft Windows, such as Office, Word, and Excel, according to a report from the cybersecurity website Bleeping Computer. Once deployed, NetWalker will encrypt the data on the victim’s computer and disable file access until the ransom is paid off.

The hacker followed the same steps with K-Electric. After infecting the utility, they demanded $ 3.8 million in ransom pay in Bitcoin through the Tor anonymous browser.

The hackers said:

“If there is no payment made by September 15, the price increased by two times and will be $ 7.7 million.”

The same message noted that the hacker operator stole unencrypted files from K-Electric before carrying out the attack. However, it does not reveal the exact type of data they have stolen or the total amount of files stolen.

European crypto exchange ETERBASE hacked, lost more than $5 million from its 'hot' wallets

Little-known European crypto exchange ETERBASE suffered a hack Monday night and lost several cryptocurrencies from its “hot” wallets.

Announcing the news on Tuesday, ETERBASE said six of its addresses, tied to bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH)/ ERC-20 tokens, XRP, Tron (TRX), Tezos (XTZ), and Algorand (ALGO), have been compromised. The exchange did not reveal the amount lost during the hack, but it is more than $5 million, according to The Block Research.

The ETH/ ERC-20 tokens address lost the most funds, around $3.9 million, followed by the XTZ address, losing about $471,000.

ETERBASE said it has contacted “all centralized exchanges that might be receiving these illicit funds.” In the meantime, the exchange is in maintenance mode.

After the publication of this story, ETERBASE told The Block that it has reported the hack to law enforcement. "We want to assure our clients that we are taking all necessary steps to ensure that the amount of their deposit does not suffer any damage as a result of a hacker attack."

Indian PM Modi target of Twitter hack soliciting relief funds

Twitter confirmed on Thursday that an account of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's personal website was hacked with a series of tweets asking its followers to donate to a relief fund through cryptocurrency.
The incident comes after several Twitter accounts of prominent personalities were hacked in July.

Twitter said it was aware of the activity with Modi's website account and has taken steps to secure it.
"We are actively investigating the situation. At this time, we are not aware of additional accounts being impacted," a Twitter spokeswoman said in an emailed statement.

Modi's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the tweets posted on the account @narendramodi_in.
The account, with over 2.5 million followers, is the official Twitter handle for Modi's personal website and the Narendra Modi mobile application.

Modi's personal Twitter account, which was unaffected by this incident, has over 61 million followers.
The tweets, which have since been taken down, asked the followers to donate to the PM National Relief Fund through cryptocurrency.

There are many of these schemes not only in China and Japan, there are many of them everywhere. Nowadays, many come from Singapore, usually related to cryptocurrency.
Quite a few of these schemes are based in Russia. Beautiful words, marketing and the hope that you will get rich this time leads people straight into this trap. And of course, financial illiteracy does its job.

Dropping names of country where scam originated is not really good but anyway this is the life of anonymous. Anyone are free to scrutinize without exposing identity.

Scams really come from all over the world. Mostly scammers come from most corrupt country. Scammers were just like being encourage from those countries seeing unsystematic leaders that are corrupt. They just follow what leaders do and this is why others are very innovative creating their ways on scamming. Old school tricks still effective.

Try to.post here that you will buy bitcoin and many users will going to pm you trying to scam you. Some of them are idiot scammers.


There are statistics showing which countries have the most scams. This does not characterise the people living there in a bad way. Although from the point of view of ignorance at the expense of which any scam lives, these countries do lag behind to some extent. It is ignorance that allows scammers to deceive people who are too lazy to learn. It is these people who become the first victims of any scam.

Maybe that's good to regulate the gambling market, and provide user with the limit on spending. In reality this isn't that easy to calculate the ability of each users spending. This will cause more illegal ways of gambling. Right now what governments need to is, create proper documentation process and the necessity to be fulfilled. If any of the gambling platform doesn't meet the requirements just shut it.

It is necessary to regulate the market, but not in similar ways, they will not lead to anything. Everyone chooses to gamble for him or not, but that should always be decriminalised. Regulation should take place on the basis of education and training, so that people grow up with a healthy psyche, and not with deviations that ultimately lead to all sorts of addictions.
129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the best welcome offer for you? on: August 23, 2020, 05:00:35 PM
I never claim my welcome bonus.
welcome bonus is not my priority when choosing a gambling site.
I read many reviews about the site before register. I need to know how good they handle the withdrawal.

The conclusion is, perhaps, one of the priority qualities that any platform should have. Fast and secure, without any tedious and idiotic checks.
However, you are in vain neglecting bonuses, because in any case you play and, regardless of the result, you get extra money on top.

  • A wife bought a scratch-off lottery ticket to prove a point to her husband that it was a waste of money, but it ended up winning her $1 million. Source
it must be mixed feelings for the wife.
happy to get $1 million.
but she will lose most of the debate when her husband say, "remember when you say lottery is wasting money?" lol.

An absolutely incredible story. Quite a strange choice, to buy a lottery for $ 1 and thereby try to prove that it is a waste of time. If she bought tickets for at least $ 1000 it would be more revealing.
Nevertheless, if this is true, then I would not be surprised if she believed in God.

`snip

It seems to me a completely rational solution, for beginners, to create a demo account. Demo bankroll with which you can try your hand and make all possible mistakes without losing money. The bets are very tempting and it can be difficult to stick to a bankroll when you are 100% sure you will win, but this is the kind of thing people lose all their money on.

These are definitely interesting numbers, but it certainly doesn't come as any surprise to me that the numbers are this high.  I would love to see the numbers for fiat currency, they would be so far beyond these numbers it's not even funny. I think it's important people keep that in mind.

That would be the smartest indicative statistic for Fiat.
Even if this data is correct, it is less than 5% of the total amount of Bitcoins. Even if they hit the market at the same time, they won't change anything. First, their movements will be immediately noticed.
Secondly, if the price drops slightly due to the sale of these BTC, then this will be an excellent chance to increase the volume of BTC in your portfolio.


133  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: building a crypto criminal database on: August 21, 2020, 09:21:48 PM
That's why I love blockchain. You can't hide anything, no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you want, the blockchain allows you to see everything. Even if you use a bitcoin mixer, everything is exactly possible to understand the original wallet.
I am not a supporter of de-anonization, however, given the youth of the crypto market, and how much it suffers from all kinds of scam, we probably have nothing but to create such a base to isolate dirty bitcoins. Although I doubt that there are no loopholes to launder them.


And some people still think that it's an anonymous currency for online drug dealers and hackers. Wink The ignorance and stupidity have no boundaries.

Of course you can launder money through cryptocurrencies but with Bitcoin it's quite difficult especially with the KYC procedures on almost every single exchange. You can make up credentials, get fake IDs but all of it leaves a trace that can be later used to get you. You're only safe if you find a way to exchange coins anonymously. No amount of mixing can save you if they really want to get you.


Alas, mixing is a great way. Of course you can find these bitcoins after mixing with a lot of effort, but does it give you something?
Bitcoin is not regulated, leaves a trace only in the blockchain, all we can try to block the exit of "dubious" bitcoins anywhere, but this is solved through the use of mixers.

During the investment, you must be smart and consistent and use all available opportunities to minimize your risks. First of all, you need to understand how to properly invest your money; a lot of materials have been written on this topic. You can’t just take to invest everything in one altcoin or in several coins similar in principle to the operation. This will be equivalent to putting all your eggs in one basket. You need to learn how to diversify your funds while finding projects that in the future can really give a strong profit, and not go on about the crowd of her advice.
135  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Solution to too many promoters on: August 14, 2020, 10:28:25 AM
The conditions in the crypto market for new projects have changed a lot over the past 3 years.
If earlier a project, even with a weak marketing company, could easily carry out a successful fundraising, today it is necessary to make truly titanic efforts so that investors look at your project and decide on an investment.

I think this is for the best, because now it’s extremely difficult for any garbage to get to the top, but for good projects the conditions have become more complicated.
Therefore, the more hunters participating in the project, the higher the chances that he will succeed.

An alternative would be bounty companies that accept only really effective hunters, this would create a natural precedent for improving the overall quality of work among bounty hunters due to the increasing complexity of the conditions.

136  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why most people think Bitcoin is a scam? on: August 08, 2020, 09:19:22 PM
Bitcoin is a quiet technology, and quite complex. Any new technologies are much more easily assimilated by the younger generations, while the old ones try to bypass them. I am sure that among those people who consider bitcoin a scam, a much larger number of people of age than young people will prevail. Ignorance rules our world, but as conditions change, so do people's judgments. Bitcoin by its existence proves that it is not a scam, the longer it exists, the more people will be sure of it.
137  Economy / Economics / Re: You want to get rich, don’t pay taxes, don’t get married, don’t use bank, and... on: August 08, 2020, 05:16:15 PM
is there any evidence that not paying taxes, not getting married and not using a bank make someone rich??  paying taxes and getting married is a liability..  Getting married and having children is wealth too.  Just look at the billionaire Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos (even though they are currently divorced from their wives) but they are married and have children, it complements their material wealth..  getting married is very important because it might be a way to open your fortune.

I don’t think that it’s completely correct to cite millionaires as an example here. But it is worth noting that in the case of marriage, the wealth of the family should grow by more than two,
because now 2 people will be able to create the effect of synergy between each other, which in itself should increase their wealth. However, in our world this happens quite rarely.

Wonder why there are so many ponzi and MLM scams in China and Asian in general? I saw too many ponzi and MLM scams in that region and still don't get it why people still fall for those scams. Worst, scammers able to amass $3 billion before finally arrested by police. Was it because people were too naive or police are too incompleted?

It's a pity to hide such a kid behind bars, I hope he will make a deal and help the United States win the war against China.
Otherwise, America will have problems as a super villain.  Cheesy

Otherwise, America will have problems as a super villain. By the way, he can ask to mitigate his sentence, because he just asked people for bitcoins, and did not arrange a global terror. Smiley
Also, he didn't force anyone to send bitcoins to who knows where.
