Sorry to hear it, bro. What kind of wallet were you using? And yeah, that's the danger of crypto--no protections that we normally get with bank accounts, so it's our responsibility to keep the money safe. Sucks, man, and I'm not normally one who doles out much sympathy here.

Dude, this comes up as a topic very often. My opinion is that even if there were coins that are "undervalued", there's no one who's in any position to identify them as such. These shitcoins aren't businesses that can have a value put on them, like Warren Buffett does. No cash flow, no dividends, and there's really no way to put a price on ANY of them. So all you're going to get here is a bunch of people hyping their pet coins.

The Thief and someone in this forum also give me negative feedback, Iam a victim,why i get those negative feedback?  You called attention to yourself with this scam accusation--which I still don't fully comprehend--and it looks like you were promoting a ponzi. That's very frowned upon here. And then there's the alleged account dealing, which is also frowned upon. Not a good way to start off on this forum, but it doesn't surprise me. |

Hello guys, need a little words of advice and help Is PayPal good for transactions and any other activities,...for storing money.... buying and selling of goods or crypto-currencies It is not good to sell bitcoin with. It also isn't useful for buying bitcoin since you are an untrusted member. I'll explain why. It is extremely easy to chargeback with paypal, even if you sent as family and friends, since you can act as if your account was hacked. Which is why most sellers ask for fees up to 25% if you try to buy using paypal, and if you try to sell bitcoin using paypal, you are having extremely high risks of being scammed. (Unless you deal with highly trusted members, in which case it would be very useful to use paypal). You're right, because of the chargeback risk, but it's just fine if you're the buyer. I've bought bitcoin from members on this forum and the deals have worked out perfectly--because my intention isn't to scam. PayPal as a store of value? Not anymore. About 11 years ago they used to put your funds in a money market thing that earned about 4% interest. That was back when interest rates weren't near zero. I'd like to see that happen again. |

Check out Yobit, because if any of those coins still have breath in them, they'd be listed there. And if they're dead, it's a good chance no other exchange will have them listed either. I couldn't tell you; they all look pretty shitty to me, so my guess is that they did indeed die. No offense, but it's just as well that they did. There are way too many of them in existence.

this spam attack seems to be working...i have had a couple of transactions fall off and viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ keeps notifying me that transaction does not exist Ditto here; I'm waiting for some bitcoin to make it over to my wallet...and it's been jammed up in the network for about 2 days. viabtc wouldn't let me enter the tx id in there, either. It kind of sucks when a small group of people can do this to the network. You sound like you have a reasonable suggestion, but I'm not technical-minded enough to understand it. It would be nice if the people who DO understand the technicals would get some consensus and fix the problem. |

My neighbor is a financial advisor
'Nuff said. No disrespect to your neighbor intended, but listening to people in the financial world (and also business journalists) is a sure-fire way to lose money. They are especially ignorant about bitcoin. As to OP. I don't have any friends who even know about bitcoin, as I generally don't talk about it in my day-to-day life. I have mentioned it to some coworkers in the past, but they didn't shut me down. They were kind of intrigued. But I'd give 'em the finger anyway. |

successful for who? i can think of quite a few that were very successful for the people offering them,
Right on, brother. Those are the only people who profit from shit like this--the developers. Everyone else is a sheep being led to slaughter. And dollars in the devs' pockets is the only metric by which to measure "success". This is like asking what were the most successful penny stock scams. How about Dash? That made money for the devs and a lot of other people. DOGE? All of the smaller ones are total garbage. |

@bathrobehero: Yes I'm just a dumb oversimplifier. I did NOT say that bitcoin is a lousy investment, because it's not. As a currency it is lousy. What I got paid for the bitdouble signature campaign on Wednesday is still stuck in the blockchain. Tell me that's a good property of a currency. But at least I can't spend it! I might actually make some money.

Me, more or less. The irony is that I lost out on making a profit because I spent bitcoin. And if you ever needed proof that bitcoin is doomed as a form of money, there you go. When people want to hold onto something instead of spending it, that's a lousy currency.

Your ISP doesn't give a flying fuck about whether you use Bitcoin or not. They just want to charge Netflix extra for higher bandwidth.
That, plus I suspect it wouldn't be legal to do that anyway--as long as bitcoin isn't outlawed. What Rodeox has put forth is certainly something to think about, I just don't see it happening. Ever. And if they did pull some shit like that, we could find ways around it. In fact it'd give bitcoin an even greater allure. |

What? They will fucking arrest you no matter what you do. Darknet markets have been seized by the FBI many times and arrests have been made, and you suggest selling drugs on the open net? You think that measly whois protection, offshore hosting and Bitcoin will protect you? The federal agencies will literally sniff you out in minutes.
Also Darknet markets don't sell the illegal stuff themselves, they're platforms for other people to sell on.
lol, my thoughts exactly. It's the same reason why you can't buy a gun at a gas station. It's fucking illegal to do so. This is what lauda refers to as a cancer thread. It's a silly question/topic that sucks in the signature shitposters. And this one has an answer that's obvious to anyone with two neurons wired together. |

If insurance was paid for file a claim with the shipper and let them sort it out.
Doubtful that'll come to a satisfying resolution for anyone. I get the feeling someone isn't telling the truth here, and somehow I don't think it's TMAN. Could be wrong, and I don't want to start pointing fingers because it's just a hunch. Too bad there doesn't seem to be a way of proving what went wrong. TMAN doesn't have a history of scamming and this doesn't seem like it would be exactly a lucrative enoughdeal to start scamming with, were he even inclined to do so. |

he got banned  Call me a silly skeptic, but without proof I don't believe you. He isn't a shitposter or a copy-paster, so why would he be banned? I definitely missed it if this is true. |

I was thinking of linking them at the bottom of the forum so any average person can found it, some of them call it "Frequently Asked Questions"  I hope now you understand me. Yes, we understand you. You don't know how to read and apparently navigating the internet is too much for you. You have constipation of the brain and diarrhea of the keyboard. Try reading stuff here first, if you're able--looks doubtful--and then start typing. No one here is interested in holding your hand whilst you squat your little squat all over bitcointalk. Edit: Do your worst, but be aware that I can write big looping circles around your illiterate ass, and your attempt would bear weak, shriveled fruit. |

References or it didn't happen. I get most of my crypto news from this forum, and I believe absolutely NONE of it unless there's a link involved somewhere.
But I have to laugh. How's any government going to "confiscate all cryptocurrencies"? Good luck with that one, I'll believe it when I see it.

There are already a ton of altcoins and also bitcoin wallets integrated with TOR network so I don't think this TORCOIN add anything more to that. I wouldn't use it at all to be honest.
This is what I'm reading: "Blah blah blah blah blah, another fucking shitcoin comes to market." Does that about sum it up? Can't you use any one of the thousands of coins no one is ever going to trace? Come on, you can call it whatever you want with whatever gimmick is trendy, but it's another unnecessary shitcoin. Period. It's designed to make its developers money, and designed to suck money out of the pockets of ignorant fools. Have at it. You deserve it. |

The irony is that this periodically becomes a topic on a forum dedicated to the most UN-physical form of money you can imagine. So if it's a problem for any of you, there's always precious metals and other hard assets in which to store value. Who here still pays with bills and change, anyway?

It's funny, those "cancer" threads always seem to start proliferating when bitcoin's price is rising--same as scam attempts and loan threads. But they've been a serious nuisance ever since I started lurking on bct in 2014.
I started reporting a lot of posts in the past couple of months, and I agree. It's only the bot spam, wrong language, and wrong section reports that get acted on, not the shitposts & shitthreads.

7 of 17 altcoin communities, that are going to be delisted from Poloniex, are not dead and have commented on the situation. After the announcement from Poloniex, each of the cryptocurrencies faced a major price fall. Some of these coins have lost 30-75% of their price in just a couple of hours. Traders and the community were shocked with the list of coins delisted and the fact that there are no explanations of why Poloniex decided to do it. The full article: https://coinidol.com/altcoins-delisted-from-poloniex-are-not-dead/You could research the 50 coins that was delisted in last year. How price changed after delisting. That might also project what wil happen with those. Maybe buying delisted coins is actually a good investment. No no no no no. Buying a delisted coin is silly. It's a sucker trap. Who do you think you're going to be able to sell this shit to? The markets are too thin and the risk is way too high. You buy low and sell high when something has a chance at growing, but these things don't have any chance whatsoever. |
