1261  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: More reason you should protect your privacy and anonymity as a Bitcoin holder. on: January 10, 2024, 09:57:59 PM
That's a very sad story and we hear such stories every once in while. I believe that privacy is highly needed for crypto-investors because if someone from your own home town learns about your holdings then they can do so many wrong things with you. But, the mining can't be done in privacy and if they target miners then how should they protect their privacy? That's something we all have to understand and we all should share our ideas so in future miners may also be able to protect their identity.

It's not really hard to gain information about miners especially government knows a lot about them because they have to work according to the system's rules. I don't think that they can do much to increase their privacy, but at least they should be careful in online world as sharing details about their profits and earnings on social media or other online platforms can cause more damage to them.

That's a very inspiring story and I believe in it because anyone who has a very good luck can win such amounts. The gamer was very lucky and I believe he won only because of his luck. I hope he's enjoying his life after winning $37k which's a pretty decent amount for someone to enjoy their life and also invest in crypto-currencies. I hope he he may have more such winnings and a happy life! Best of luck to him from my side!

Request: Delete my account 100% or tell me how to do it myself.
You don't need to request anyone, all you have to do is to log out of the account and forget about the account and the forum. That's how you can do it yourself. It's not a hard task just go and give it a try. You may also clear your browsing history if you don't want the forum's name or URL to appear on your web searches. Best of luck!

If the hack happened for using the same password and teleporting the account then only the admin/moderators of that site may know the password. If the hack happened for teleport then the scammer is the admin/moderator. Though I do not know who is the admin/moderator and whether they have any intention to be a hacker or not I think they won't do this. I think the hack might have happened for another reason not for using the same password. One more important fact is that others happened same the hacker (which they said) those are not confirmed about the using of same password.
I also don't know actually who's the admin of that forum and where is he from but I don't think that he would do something like this. Their forum is getting more users each day and most of the users of this forum are already on that forum, that's why they would never do something that would harm their reputation. I think that tjtonmoy used same password on multiple platforms and that can be the reason for his account getting compromised.

I believe that tjtonmoy also created a post where he shared some information about databases where his IP address was found. And, I believe if that's true then his accounts on other platforms might be at risk because hackers often share such databases with other users who can easily copy the details and login with those details. Most of the members aren't aware of such things but that's happening.

It's not a good practice to use the same passwords on different platforms and the one who does that often gets targeted by the hackers. It's always better to use different passwords for different platforms and one should also enable 2FA if it's present. During my research I have also found that some people use their e-mail's original password on other platforms but they don't know that they can easily lose all of their accounts on other platforms if an hacker successfully get logged in to their e-mail accounts.

I haven't seen his service before and found about it via this post. I believe it's an attempt to install a malware in the Bitcoiners system so the one who created the software can steal their private keys and seed phrases and other details. Most of the time such software come with pre-coded malware and key-loggers and such users mainly target greedy people who like to steal someone else's wallet.

There is no such this as AI brute-forcing or AI getting the seed phrases that someone has forget these are just the tricky words that scammers use to trap the users. I would suggest everyone to be aware of that person and one should never send him any messages at Telegram. Because once someone has installed the software on their system then it would be hard to safe oneself from the harmful affects of it later on.

Although one of the newbie in that thread claims that it can be used on a RDP server but why should someone install such a software on their RDP sever and infect it with the malware? I would never trust such software and it's always better to avoid such software to be protected from the scammers and hackers.

If they were to made a good AI to search for seed phrases then they could have made it open-source but no they choose to make it close source and only windows users can install it. Windows is known as the most vulnerable operating system and hackers know that better. One should avoid install of such software at any cost. And, one should always be careful from such scammers.
1266  Economy / Lending / Re: [Question]Would someone give me a loan? on: January 10, 2024, 01:24:04 PM
With collateral why take the loan if you can sell the collateral coins? If you have collateral and taking a loan does it seems you only wants to boost your trust score rather than wanted to take the loan.
Nope, a collateral is a security measure often taken by the lenders and they won't sell your collateral or do anything to it as long as you pay the loan plus interest on time. I don't think that anybody would pay interest just to increase their trust score that doesn't make sense at all. The ones who are enrolled in signature campaigns may get loans without collateral because they can pay back the loans as long as they earn weekly income from the signature campaigns. There are also those members who aren't actually part of any signature campaign but they have built up trust in this community and that's why the lenders also give them loans without any collateral.

~Snip~
If Bitcoin isn't legal in a country or is banned in a country then one should never accept Bitcoin payments directly from others. I would advice you to suggest your friend to not accept Bitcoin or crypto-currency dealings if they're not allowed by government. Any time if authorities get information about his shop then they might take strict actions against him. If he has invested in Bitcoin then that's not an issue he should hold that investment and if he wants to invest more in Bitcoin he can do that as well, but he should never share details about his wallet or investment details with anyone.

note: As far as I have noticed, some other mixer accounts still have a regular website link on the profile page, it was probably missed in word filtering.
I think if those accounts still have their regular website link then all of such accounts should be compiled and reported to theymos either as a PM message or maybe via this thread. It will be much easy for him to manually remove those links if word-filters aren't working the way they were supposed to work.
1269  Economy / Gambling / Re: Responsible gambling on: January 10, 2024, 12:56:48 PM
which has been one of the set backs that made me never to leave any balance on my account regardless of how much was my previous winning be it big or small amount.
We always learn from our own mistakes and I'm very sure that not only you but many of us have learned great lessons from our own mistakes. It's always a better choice to learn faster and take actions after learning.

You have taken a really good and optimistic step after losing your balance many times due to the temptation and that's what most of us should do. That's a great lesson for those who don't withdraw their funds when they win a lot.

We should withdraw the money when we have won a lot and the amount has reached the minimum withdrawal limit. But most people will be tempted to use the winnings by gambling again to double the money.
Very true but I've also noticed that most of the gamblers look for bonuses like 100% bonus on deposit etc and those bonuses are actually a type of a marketing thing by a casino. If someone avails those bonuses then they'll have to complete the wagering requirements and even if they win a lot still most of the time they won't be able to complete the wagering requirements and end up loosing everything with belief that they will win the casino. It's not possible to win a casino's house edge unless you are extremely lucky. When someone hasn't chosen the bonus then they can easily withdraw the winnings when they reach the withdrawal limit.
1270  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🏆 www.l0tt0.com ⚡ bitcoin games like you've never seen! 🏆 on: January 09, 2024, 11:40:04 PM
It is a very good idea, but people could try to abuse this extra deposit bonus to send deposits when transaction fees are higher, and than withdraw using low fee lightning network  Grin
Yes, people mostly the greedy fellows might try to take advantage of the deposit bonus when they will get their deposit and get some extra for the fees they have paid. But, I guess $20 limit is a solid limit and the players won't be taking a lot from L0tt0 even if the fees get low later on or they might withdraw when lightning network gets implemented.

I hope that @dewez soon implement and fixes that lightning network on L0tt0 and surely the magic dice is the thing that most of the players have been waiting for. I believe that once magic dice is launched and the lightning network is fully functional then the players will surely enjoy spending some time on that new game and they won't worry about the high fees of the Bitcoin network.

I dont see room for abuse because they are only getting back what they actually spent on fees. if they sent a deposit- got credit for the fee- and did a cashout with LN, they would have the same amount they started with. where is the the space for abuse?

I think you didn't explained it well in that post or we weren't able to understand what you were trying to say. I thought that if a player deposits $50 and pays $8.2 for fees then he may get $58.2 not $50 in the account. It means that a player deposits $50 and somehow pays $8.2 for the fees then he will have $41.8 from the deposit and $8.2 from the L0tt0 = $50. Is that what you were trying to say, but when I read your post it was saying that the payer will have $58.2 not $50 in his l0tt0 account if he pays $8.2 for the fees. Kindly fix it if I interpreted wrongly.

Many times,  I have seen that most gamblers use to make the mistake of leaving their winning in the casino,  even when the money accumulated is already huge enough to offset them into something better but choose to risk leaving it in the casino where there are possible tendency of gambling away the entire balance just with just one temptation.
You're right most of the times that happen and the gamblers really don't care much about leaving their winnings on that casino's wallet. I believe one should withdraw the winnings and invest those in an asset for sometime if the winnings are already high and when makes some profits from that asset then comes back to the casino and start a new gambling session again with some money. That way one will never have the temptation to gamble more or earn a lot of money by putting all the winnings at risk.

Who is crazy enough to play Plinko with $380 per ball!? On high-risk with 16 rows? Pure madness! Smiley.
Of course the one who won that bet. Wink I believe that some people are extremely lucky and for such people risk is just nothing at all. For normal players like us even $50 per ball is quite high with that much risk but the guy did it with $380 and won some great profits. Congratulations to the guy from my side.
1273  Other / Meta / Re: Username and account number change on: January 09, 2024, 10:38:43 PM
Is it possible to request username and account number to be changed?
I haven't seen any user ID change on the forum so far but for username change you can send a message to Theymos from the original account. You should also state the reason to Theymos that why you want to have your username changed and if he get convinced then he may change your username.

I'm pretty sure that Theymos also has the power to change a user ID but I'm not sure he'll do that for you or not as I haven't seen him doing that for anyone else. Or even he has done that for someone then I'm not aware of it. But, surely you can send a private message to him and ask for the username change. You won't be disappointed if the reason for changing of username is valid.

It's a very useful script that you have made TryNinja and it's one of the scripts that I would love to use myself. I'm currently not using any bots or scripts for the forum but this is something that I will most probably consider using. Thank you so much for making up this script for us. But, I don't really use tampermonkey thing and I'm a chrome user.

Can you please make a chrome based extension of the script that may work similarly for users who prefer to have extension rather than going with that tampermonkey? The script seems very good to me but I would love you to release a chrome-based extension of the script thanks.

1275  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do we even need bitcoin mixers? on: January 09, 2024, 10:18:06 PM
That was a DeFi exchange, not a decentralized. No truly decentralized exchange offers farming rewards, staking pools, referral programs and a shit-token called SARP. And as already said, if an exchange is decentralized, it does not take custody.
I think that's what one should look for when he/she is aiming to search for a decentralized exchange. But, can you please tell me that is there any truly decentralized exchange including Bisq that doesn't rely on system's own centralization?

Although, Bisq is truly decentralized but still the trading disputes are often solved by the arbitrators or mediators and that's somehow a centralization thing not at government level but at exchange level. So if we keep that in mind then Bisq also has its own centralization system that's free from government interference but isn't free from the interference of the system's own centralization.

I won't question Bisq's decentralization in other sense because its doing best for the traders and crypto community and is preserving the privacy of the users but still I won't say that any decentralized exchange is decentralized in true sense.

The ones that I shared who did rug-pull to investors also promoted themselves as decentralized exchanges but they turned into scams. I would highly prefer Bisq over other decentralized exchanges, and also over those centralized exchanges that doesn't require any KYC.

The exchanges that doesn't require KYC often work as honeypots and the users who trade on those exchanges are always at risk of loosing their Bitcoin. But, I would still not support other decentralized exchanges and the users should use them on their own risk.

1276  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do we even need bitcoin mixers? on: January 08, 2024, 09:22:32 PM
If you want to make use of a truly decentralized exchange, check out Bisq. It runs for years and is as decentralized as it gets with the operation of a DAO: https://bisq.wiki/Main_Page.
Without any doubt Bisq is the only decentralized exchange that we can call truly decentralized. I would consider it as a P2P decentralized exchange rather than a decentralized exchange simply. The Bisq is surely a safe and trusted option that works like a charm for everyone. I would never say anyone to avoid a decentralized exchange Bisq but other decentralized exchanges aren't that safe as we consider them.

Can you name a few? True p2p exchanges do not hold the funds of their customers', so there is no way for them to rug-pull them.

I think one of those rug-pull decentralized exchanges is Swaprum’s that did a rug-pull exist and stole funds of the users. They did that by adding a backdoor function which allowed them to steal the funds from the LP of the users.

You may read this article to know further about their rug-pull exit scam.

Another rug-pull scam from a decentralized exchange was done by Merlin Dex, they also stole the funds of the users.

What if the dollar collapses?
First of all, the dollar won't collapse and if even it collapses then there won't be much impact on countries other than US. The countries may face some trade related issues for short term but that will get solved sooner than expected. The countries who have taken huge loans from IMF will be happy to see the dollar collapse as most of their loans will get lower because of the collapse.

That's an unlikely thing to happen so I would suggest you to not worry much about it. It can face some value decrease overtime but it's not going to collapse anyways. Another thing we should know is that some countries are trying to join BRICS and those countries will be happy to see dollar's collapse.

How will Bitcoin thrive amidst crises?
Let's say that if somehow dollar collapses then surely Bitcoin and the whole crypto-market will face another bear market that might decrease Bitcoin's value to some extent but again the Bitcoin won't be impacted a lot other than the FUD and it will grow its value once again. Bitcoin will definitely thrive without any question but yeah it will get affected for sometime if a collapse takes place.
1278  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do we even need bitcoin mixers? on: January 08, 2024, 05:46:00 PM
The ones who use the mixers already know that they can do what OP shared with us in this thread but still they prefer to use mixers. The mixers have some extra perks and they can reduce someone's precious time and the reliable ones never run with your money.

The exchanges especially decentralized exchanges can't be trusted because they can be rug-pull schemes. I have seen many decentralized exchanges that scammed their users and took a rug-pull type of exit. That's another reason to not trust the decentralized exchanges.

The game is totally different with centralized exchanges as they are already connected with the governmental organizations and as soon as they receive a suspicious transaction, they will freeze the accounts that receive such transactions.

If your coins are clean then you may not need to fear anyways but if you bought coins from someone whom you don't know then you can still face some problems if those coins come from a suspected address. The mixers solve issues for such innocent people who buy coins from unknown people and may otherwise get strong actions against them just for the purchase.

I believe that's another reason which is stopping people to invest in Bitcoin because the big investors might fear that if the coins that they have bought somehow come from a tagged address then they might face legal issues in future. That's why they prefer to use mixers to be safe from such legal issues.

Yes in the general opinion,  gambling shouldn't be taken or seen as an investment
'
Not in general but in any opinion gambling should never be considered as an investment because the ones who gamble often get so involved in it that they forget about the risk of losses. Many gamblers lose thousands of dollars per day while investors can't risk to lose that much.

An investor should always have an active approach towards investing because even in case of minor losses the investment becomes a failure. I think it's way better to directly invest in an asset like Bitcoin rather than investing in gambling at all. However, if someone invests to make a casino then that's another thing.

In gambling such investment will always turn out as a failure and someone should most probably avoid it. Gambling should be done just for sake of some entertainment and gambling responsibility should be incorporated each time when someone gambles.
