12361  Economy / Exchanges / Re: I sent ALL my BTC core to a BCHSV address, is it burned and lost? on: April 30, 2019, 11:08:04 AM
No. Sending BTC to a BSV P2PKH address(starting with 1) doesn't "burn" the coins, because BSV supports P2PKH.

Well, the best thing you can do right now is to wait for Poloniex. I wouldn't get my hopes up though, usually, such a process can definitely be a huge hassle for Poloniex; hence they only try to recover coins that was sent by mistake only if the amount is big enough, and as far as I know, I think they're going to ask for a fee for their troubles. So.. yea. Just give them the required info, then wait.
12362  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: integrating Electrum with Ledger Nano S on: April 30, 2019, 09:46:09 AM
Should I just send all the bitcoins to the Ledger for longer term storage?
Absolutely.
I mean, honestly OP. Why did you even purchase a Ledger Nano S in the first place if it wasn't for long term storage? Tongue

Ledger Live is pretty limited with Altcoins functions too, for example they don't support transactions of tokens which are stored in your ETH address, you need to connect to MEW (MyEtherWallet) in order to see and spend your tokens.
Which really isn't a problem. When using your Ledger Nano S through MEW, your private keys don't get exposed regardless, so I don't see a single problem with this.
12363  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will the Scottish people choose Bitcoin rather than a "Scottish Pound"? on: April 30, 2019, 09:44:53 AM
Nah. Bitcoin being a local currency this early on is obviously going to be a huge disaster. It doesn't take a genius to realize that. Bitcoin is simply too volatile as of now, and Lightning Network isn't even ready for mass adoption yet.

How do you deal with them? Do they eg. get red flagged?

Most use secondary Facebook accounts. Though you can report them and potentially get their Facebook accounts banned, they can simply make another one. My solution? Simply leave those groups.
12365  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: (Beware) on Fake Screenshot Details on: April 30, 2019, 04:58:32 AM
It would be interesting if someone came forward with a real life testimonial on how a change in the data on a screenshot led them to be scammed at some point, specifically in the cryptosphere. I think all warnings, and the forum is full of them, would be nicely complemented by real cases of "I fell for it".

The Philippine bitcoin social media groups is definitely one of the biggest users of this false advertisement. You see a lot of posts like "look what I've earned from investing in this MLM site!", a long with a screenshot of their bitcoin wallet having a decent amount of BTC. Obviously pure BS. Though I barely see posts complaining that they got scammed by this method, I think it's quite common. Instead of stopping after they get scammed, they instead spread their referral code to make back the money from other victims. It's a chain of BS.
12366  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lil Pump now accepts Bitcoin as payment on: April 30, 2019, 03:58:12 AM
Ehh. Dude's music isn't my cup of tea(even though Gucci Gang was catchy as hell), and I don't think a significant amount of people will actually use bitcoin(regardless if through LN or not) anyway. Regardless, publicity is publicity so this is a win in my book. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
12367  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are we not pushing online merchant and services harder for Bitcoin adoption? on: April 29, 2019, 06:06:35 PM
I'm pretty sure that some people are suggesting other sites/companies to accept bitcoin already. But, they simply currently don't want bitcoin, and it's completely understandable in my opinion. Bitcoin's price volatility is most probably just going to be a huge hassle for them, to implement such a system, with such a small advantage for them as I'm pretty sure people paying with bitcoin will be a very very small minority.

No. Newbies can't use signatures.

See for yourself which campaigns are available: Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns

And if you cant wait, you can purchase a copper member rank instead(pretty much buying yourself into a member rank). As far as I know, some campaigns that accepts member ranks, also accepts Copper members.

Re: Best options for advertising face to face bitcoin for cash?

You mean transacting, right? Tongue

Another option would be the Mycelium Local Trader[1]. Can't say anything about it though, as I've personally never used it. Though as far as I know, they don't require KYC.

and recently there was a news regarding four investment scam that was offering "double your money within a week", sometimes it is not the scammer that should blame because it is the greediness of the investors, they want to double their investments within a week even the central bank cant do that.

Pretty much. I hate to sort of "victim blame", but seriously, the scams are too obvious that you'd need to be extra greedy and extra delusional to fall for those scams. Some even as bad as claiming to pay you 30% of your deposit every day. Like what.

Not sure dahil di ko pa natry bumili ng BTC sa Binance through credit card, pero pwede naman ata makita ung prices sa Binance diba? So I think madali mo naman atang macocompare ung prices. And yes, malaki talaga fees sa Coins.ph.
12372  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Don't read it if you get offended easily. on: April 29, 2019, 03:10:08 AM
It's really simple. Though there's definitely nothing wrong with earning money here(because that should be a good thing), people simply hate spammers; and mostly, it's the newbies and Jr members who do the spamming. Sometimes even going as far as committing plagiarism. Hence they get crap on mostly.
12373  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Running BItcoin Core in Dubai on: April 29, 2019, 03:06:47 AM
It should be possible as there are exchanges based there and I checked the list of full nodes and there are three in UAE.

Just to add: if you're paranoid about it, you can run it through Tor.

People are so paranoid these days  Angry , there are a lot of public crypto figures and how often do you hear of them being kidnapped or attacked? never
Being paranoid is not necessarily bad. Remember, better safe than sorry.

For those crypto figures, it's pretty understandable. Being in such a hugely growing industry, and well, it's their career in the first place, so them getting some publicity is really expected. But for the common person? You're publicizing that you hold bitcoin, for what? Just to flaunt them? In exchange for potential issues with criminals? I don't see where it's worth it. If only you know how much death threats some of those public crypto figures get.

Also, just because not everything is being publicized in the news, it doesn't mean that nothing is happening.

I'm not saying its the best idea make all your information public but I don't see life worth living if you are in constant fear and paranoia.  
Boy you should read the news about $5 wrench attacks on crypto holders and traders.

12375  Local / Altcoins (Pilipinas) / Re: Kumikita parin ba kayo sa bounty campaigns? on: April 28, 2019, 05:20:50 PM
Mejo mahihirapan sya dyan sa ngayon, pero kung sa 777Coin at Bitvest sya mag-aapply may posibilidad dahil may Tier E na sila Hhampuz ngayon. At hindi rin sila ganun kahigpit sa post although iwas spam at post bursting na lang tayo. And iwas sa mga single-liner feedbacks.

...

Yea I agree na mejo mahihirapan ang karamihan. Pero if you really want na siguradong mababayaran ka at in a decent amount of BTC, bitcoin signature campaigns is the way to go talaga, especially ung mga matagal nang tumatakbong campaigns. Yes, may mga lilitaw na campaign na may magandang payouts, pero mas ok parin ung mga stable at consistent na campaigns.

Quality > Quantity. Personally been in the ChipMixer campaign for 1 year and 10 months already.

Username: mjglqw
Post Count: 423
BTC Address: 1BnJntCGap5fPSXdZ6jFpo8UEXpkf277JN

Will apply signature after accepted too.

Accepted. Please send my main account (DarkStar_) a PM once you change your signature.
12376  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is a Bitcoin Millionaire on: April 28, 2019, 03:11:49 PM
I'm pretty sure anyone here or anywhere that holds thousands of bitcoins prefer to not expose themselves. That's pretty much just like asking to be kidnapped or to be targeted by hackers.
I was sure of this too until I read the news last year about some Bitcoin millionaire who bragged about it. Well, people robbed him and took all his wallet coins. Don't know what they did but I guess most people if tortured would give up their private keys. I know if someone even breaks my finger I'll give everything! So yeah, maybe just best to hide that you own Bitcoin, especially if it's a lot.

Well, I didn't literally mean 100% wants to be anonymous. There's always those kinds of cocky people who love to flaunt their riches. I guess some people have to learn the hard way.
12377  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Indian Govt thinks Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme on: April 28, 2019, 11:26:43 AM
Let me guess, these Indian lawmakers are probably too old to even understand how a smartphone works? Seriously. Some governments need people who actually know what they're talking about especially in the technology aspect.

From the article:
Quote
The Indian lawmakers have suggested in the bill that there is an urgent need to completely ban cryptocurrencies in the country as it leads to ponzi scams and supports money laundering activities.
They pretty much just went the easy route and simply ban crypto overall. Heavily unfortunate.

May mga tips ba kayo o suggestion para makapag hanap ng maayos na campaign ngayon?

Mag apply lang sa mga reputable bitcoin campaigns na tumatakbo na ng months or years. Significantly lower chances na bigla bigla lang mawawala without ung payout niyo.
12379  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anyone keep their trading capital in btc? on: April 28, 2019, 06:31:14 AM
I personally trade a lot of altcoins, just to increase my funds in BTC, not in USD, as I do trading on the sideline only anyways; Just solely to increase my BTC stack for the long term and not as fiat income.
12380  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I dont think beginners should start with airdrop anymore on: April 28, 2019, 06:13:23 AM
they do little task like follow a twitter page or like a Facebook they mostly dont get the reward

that is not "airdrop" that is a "payment" for a job that they do. the job is small and meaningless (an advertisement of sorts) but it still is a job and they are getting paid for doing it so you can't call it an "airdrop".

This. And also, you're pretty much paying them with your data. Most if not all airdrops require your email, mobile number, and personal information to submitted(though you can fake your personal info), and some even going as far as requiring KYC, which is significantly more dangerous.

If airdroppers think their personal information is worth a few cents(or sometimes worth zero) of shitcoins, then ok.
