In any case, you will be required to verify your identity before proceeding with the withdrawal process. Therefore, since you will submit it sooner or later, it is best to do it now.

We will hear a lot of noise about this matter in the coming days, but we cannot confirm the news because it is the season of rumors.

So far this news is closest to the truth.


---> Source



Also when you submit your claim it forwards it to the Kroll website so it’s definitely legitimate. Maybe someone else can confirm.

1282  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Looking for testers of our better Bitcoin wallet on: September 12, 2023, 06:15:49 AM

It's an implementation of Stealth addresses. It derives a single-use private key based on the shared secret, recipient's diffie-hellman public key, and recipient's root public key. And a single-use private key based on the shared secret, recipient's diffie-hellman private key, and recipient's root private key.

This sounds exciting, but in this case the meta-address must be shared between the two parties after the first one derives a single-use private key, so how will it be shared? Will it be through the application or will an additional encryption layer be provided to exchange meta-address/secret?

It's true that this will enhance privacy but other data like transaction fees and transaction broadcasts are shared publicly so without solutions like Ring Signatures, and RingCT I don't think you'll get good privacy.

But AFAIK, I do not think that there is a wallet that applies the concept of Stealth addresses.

- Sending, easy as a text: Make instant payments straight to your phone contacts, whether they use the app or not

If you were to use Stealth addresses here, this would add additional complexity, as the user would need to download your application. Otherwise, anyone can receive Bitcoin, they just need to generate a Bitcoin address in any way.



You're right it's not a silver bullet, but it could be a good option for some people. We'll offer different recovery methods, both "single player" and "multiplayer" like social recovery.

I see that you are trying to apply Vitalik Ethereum concepts to Bitcoin wallet. Social recovery is one of the solutions proposed by Vitalik Buterin[1], although I am not convinced that it is implemented well.

Perhaps developing an open source Android app might help us a little in trying it out.

1283  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: The story of Betnomi.com (Exit Scam) on: September 12, 2023, 05:25:46 AM

Better to post the whole BB code so that the other members also know what just happened. I had no idea what was going on until I just checked this thread. This shows that they know what they are doing and just refuse to update us what on what happened.


I noticed that instead of responding to the accusations, he cleaned his trust list by deleting DT negative trust, in general
Code:
~betnomi

I was hope this problem to be solved, although I believe that such behavior indicates a scammer with limited capabilities.


Are there any updates about this? Or will someone else create the flag?

Thanks for the topic. Probably within a week or two I will create a flag against the Betnomi since they owe me a huge amount.

I also wrote to Sorsis yesterday, (on July 18 he promised to return at the end of August and pay), he read my message, but has not answered yet.
1284  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: I want to exchange 5000-11000 dollars in bitcoins to usdt. where can i do it? on: September 12, 2023, 05:06:19 AM
Bitget is equally licensed to operate in UAE, I’m sure it’s a good exchange to use couple with their swiftness.  
This is not true. Please stop spamming the forum using Bitget. I searched your account and the last 20 replies contained the word Bitget in more than 10 different topics.

Bitget has opened an office in downtown Dubai and plans to hire employees and explore a way to obtain a license, but there is no news about them obtaining a license, and all that is being talked about are plans and there are no clear confirmations.
For citizens in the Emirates, their best option is still what I mentioned above or peer-to-peer trading (I do not recommend it for amounts larger than 10,000 dirhams or 3,000 dollars).


https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/07/20/crypto-exchange-bitget-opens-dubai-office-plans-middle-east-expansion/

Quote
Bitget said it has started recruiting for the new roles, with several members of staff already hired for middle- and back-office positions.
“We hope to scale our Middle Eastern team rapidly to support business growth, with between 30 to 60 hires over the next two years,” Gracy Chen, managing director, said in a statement.
The company has already started exploring license applications in order to operate in Middle Eastern markets. The expansion follows Biget’s launch in Turkey earlier this year.
1285  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Heartwarming as Binance donates $3 Million in BNB to it's users in Morocco on: September 12, 2023, 04:52:42 AM
My sincere condolences to the Moroccan people, I am affected by the staggering number of deaths.

This is a beautiful gesture from CZ, but in return it will be paid by BNB and will be financed from the customers’ money and not from CZ pocket or Binance. In short, he did not pay anything and the price of the currency may be affected by the decline because he printed 3 million BNB.
It is true that users can withdraw them into Bitcoin, but he is trying to kill two birds with one stone, the media coverage of this issue, the increase in the number of Moroccan users and the failure to pay anything, as this offer will only lead to a temporary decrease in the price.


As a reminder, Binance owns ~343k worth of Bitcoin in the form of BNB & BUSD while it has ~618k worth of Bitcoin according to the Proof of Reserves[1] issued by them. In other words, about half of the bitcoins available at Binance in form of BNB & BUSD printed without any proof of their value.

The heaviest penalty that a mod might give is nuke.
What's the difference between nuke and ban?
As far as I know, nuke meaning banning newbie accounts and deleting all their posts, right?
Anyway, as the members above said, this is not going to happen unfortunately. Scams are not moderated in this forum and scammers don't get banned. It's what the trust system is for.

If you search in ----> https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php you will notice that there is a difference between nuke and ban they both ban the user but nuke is for newbies where some members ask Patrollers + mods can nuke this the accounts.

You can find newbies' posts here ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;patrol

Patrollers: Are essentially Moderators but can only do moderator tasks for newbie members.
1287  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Filesity - Sell Your Digital Files for Cryptocurrency on: September 11, 2023, 07:21:44 PM
As I tried to make the platform as simple as possible so people can receive their crypto from sales instantly, there is no system to block the seller's funds in case of anything for moment, but once we will get some sellers we will make sure to add this feature, also a rating (reviews) system so people will feel more secure buying files with positive ratings.
Yes, but this is an ideal system for scammers. They will get their money and the blame will fall on you. In the stage of gaining customer trust, when the user will not be able to recover his money, he will stop using the service and all the negative reviews will be yours.

I remember a while ago, scammers used auto-sell links to scam beginners, so your service could easily be misused and all the blame would fall on you.

Hi, yes this is my website, the advertisment of the stats are just to impose a certain trust for the seller, as at the moment as we don't have a base of sellers and this is our main goal for the moment. We need sellers first after that we will promote the website for buyers.

Does this mean that you intentionally provide false data to gain trust?
1288  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A very strange dust attack or an attempted robbery? on: September 11, 2023, 07:09:52 PM
I used to see such attacks on the Ethereum blockchain, where they exploit a loophole that allows sending zero transactions from your wallet, but such attacks can be solved at the level of explorer or the wallet, either by hiding dust transactions or preventing spending from them, although I suspected that these attacks would be random to this degree due to the need for extra resources in brute force.

Moving this topic to Beginners & Help would be better.
1289  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it possible to bridge BTC onchain to ETH ? on: September 11, 2023, 06:47:10 PM
So since RenBTC is not a real bridge and WBTC is centralized due to BitGo, the only safe way to do this would be to immediately sell the wBTC for ETH and hold that on the ETH chain? Or some other stablecoin?

This is the price of WBTC versus the price of Bitcoin during the last year. Do you think that this currency is really locking Bitcoin 1:1, or is it closer to being a stablecoin whose price is linked to Bitcoin, but the difference here is that in the case of the dollar, there is a difference of a few cents, and it was at the level of 30 thousand $ is not noticeable but the difference of .001 Bitcoin would be significant.


All of these currencies will end up closer to what happened with Luna, so no one knows what will happen when the price of Bitcoin rises and everyone wants to sell. your best options currently are CEXs and we have a good list ----> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5461920.0
1290  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic and finances start young Age Stablecoins on: September 10, 2023, 12:58:49 PM
I can understand the teaching of bitcoin as something different from the modern economy of SWIFT and banking systems and a central economy based on the dollar as a global reserve currency and trust in central banks that save gold and dollars and print papers in return that promise to have value but USDT are they serious? USDT is a representation of trust in banks, in addition to the trust that there is $1 for every USDT printed, and this is completely wrong.
Teaching children that USDT is real and has value is not good and you should talk to them to stop.
1291  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Multisig, probability to lose coins? on: September 10, 2023, 12:39:08 PM
If I understand what you mean, in the multi-signature wallet we have a limited number of keys, and let us assume that it is 3 out of 8, so the calculations are as follows:
The total number of N keys is 8
The number required to spend F 3
Losing one of the keys we have
N^ = 8-1=7
F^=3-1=2
Thus, the spending probability becomes p=f^/N^=2/7
The probability of not being able to spend is 1-p
Then you can replace N and F according to the NofM values and thus obtain a general equation.
1292  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do we benefit in lies in forum on: September 10, 2023, 11:11:40 AM
The forum allows you the freedom to share your ideas as long as you respect others and do not conflict with bitcointalk rules. So unless the story is completely fictional, you are allowed to share it.
The problem lies in lying and trying to fabricate stories to attract, arouse sympathy, or obtain donations or merits, and sometimes this may be to complete paid posts.
I understand that such posts are not good, but trying to ban them will require us to fully verify them, and sometimes that is difficult, such as the stories that I built my house with Bitcoin or bought my first phone or computer with my posts in this forum.

Just click on ignore and people will stop when no one intract with them
1293  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: My crypto news site - cryptotalk.tech on: September 10, 2023, 10:55:32 AM
I remember cryptotalk was running a spam campaign in 2020 but that didn't last long. The domain name is fine but most importantly it's still down, it took me about a minute before the site stopped working.

As an idea, it is good, but if you can, through the news, build a measure by which you can evaluate the impact of the news on the price of Bitcoin using keywords, it will be useful.
Adding a mechanism to display and arrange topics is the most important, as we all get lazy after the first 3 links
1294  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Be careful!!! VITALIK BUTERIN'S ACCOUNT X WAS HACKED on: September 10, 2023, 09:48:44 AM
I do not think that a person like VITALIK would forget to perform a simple setting such as two-factor authentication, and I do not think that his tweets indicate that there is another person managing that account, and therefore such hackers may be a social attack or due to the lack of Twitter staff or someone trying to send him a message.
What surprises me is that if accounts are so easily hacked, how do they protect their data? That is to say, we have not heard of any famous person’s data being leaked or even a report of the loss of currencies, so the matter is a little confusing as it is either a lack of interest on their part or a problem with all social media applications.
1295  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Tips for beginners on: September 10, 2023, 09:34:27 AM
A good attempt to get merits, but unfortunately if the beginner has access to this topic, he will most likely know how to search for topics and then he will learn all these things.
Try to help the people in your local board, and after a while  collect all your distinguished contributions and I will rate them for you. If you speak English, try to share new information away from signature campaigns.
1296  Economy / Economics / Re: Teaching My Nephews About Wealth Through the Game of Monopoly on: September 10, 2023, 08:56:01 AM
I have always read books and articles that talk about the golden rules of success or the secrets and keys to wealth, and all of them are a specific set of advice that if you adhere to, you will become wealthy, and all of them are wrong. There are no fixed rules for success, but there are fixed rules for failure, or things that if you do, your money will be lost or your investments will collapse.
Therefore, there is no fixed recipe for success and wealth. You must be creative and love what you do. There are recipes here that are ready for failure, including:

 - You spend all your money and don't save.
 - Do not think about investing, but rather about buying luxuries.
 -  Unbalanced mentally or physically.
1297  Economy / Economics / Re: Thundr gaming releases puzzle game to earn BTC via Nostr on: September 10, 2023, 08:10:52 AM
I did not like those games, but in my opinion the principle is the same. Instead of watching advertisements or the complications of adding a bank account to withdraw your profits from the games, users can now buy and sell gems using Bitcoin, although I do not know how the licenses for creating such systems or the judicial complications will be ignored. I hope that they will succeed and that they will not use the word Bitcoin just to attract customers’ attention, but rather as a real application for payments without the need for banking systems.
1298  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [ Fraud ] Coinbase on: September 10, 2023, 06:10:47 AM
Yes I understand, I think this too. Because I did it already, and was just me login in, their answer was: this limitation came from their system automatically. So all I know so far, is that I just give up that funds, contacted my bank and explained how they block my funds hope to get refunded back by them.
The support team responded with inaccurate information, but from what I mentioned, the reason is the gambling site. I do not think that binance has a similar policy, but in any case, and to avoid this happening in the future, try to break the link between the last withdrawal/deposit process and your wallet with several intermediate wallets, meaning that you send money to several wallets you manage them Before depositing or withdrawing, it is true that twill cost you more fees but it is rare for these sites to go through a chain analysis of longer than 3 transactions. You can also use mixing services.

1299  Economy / Reputation / Re: Is Blazed alive? on: September 10, 2023, 05:58:23 AM
I think it's because most of people are solely depend their source of income in this forum, since there are so many active campaings, it make them impossible to quit this forum. Although there are some people still active without wearing paid signatures, but it's undeniable the number of active users who get paid are way higher than the not paid one.
Even this reason will end in a few years. I remember that when I joined the forum, I settled in for several months to learn that there were signature campaigns, and after that it was easy to collect 1 Bitcoin within several months. Today, it is more difficult to collect it within a year, and if the average price of Bitcoin rises to above 70k There is no logical reason for someone who collected 10 Bitcoins from the forum in 2014-2017 to continue signature campaigns.

It is easy to say that there will be less activity on the accounts from 2012-2014, and after two years we will notice the disappearance of members from 2014-2017. However, if you continue to post to get payments only, you will certainly continue until signature campaigns are banned.

You can continue on speculating or you can test it. It only takes two registration to verify that its working as designed.

If someone told me to touch the fire, it does not burn, why I would risk touching it to prove that he is wrong? All evidence indicates that you are a scammer and you are asking users to try the service?

You think BTC0.002 it's worth the trouble building and maintaining this app? If we do runaway with your coin you got yourself an entire blockchain to prove that we did and you can post everywhere to put an end to this app.
Go on and take a shot.
I know scammers who are willing to scam you out of a dollar let alone 0.002BTC.

Go on and take a shot.

Instead of wasting your time and ours, you did not provide any evidence explaining how to achieve profits. If the system is based on donations, leave the option to the user to get free money and then decide whether to donate to the system or not.

I do not advise anyone to deposit a single satoshi to this site, and I will not remove the negative trust from your account.
