1481  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Capitalizing a smart trading strategy on: July 29, 2023, 06:50:46 AM
However, an hour prior to its Binance listing, Arkham was already available on Bitget. Rather than selling, many chose to purchase in hopes of a price surge following the Binance listing. But when it finally occurred, they were unable to fully capitalise on the price increase. A selling frenzy ensued, and unlike on Bitget, the price never reached $1 on Binance.
As a result, those who had sold earlier on Bitget reaped greater profits
A coin that has just been listed and continued to be listed on different exchanges can be risky. This is not the first time I have seen this, especially after a coin has been listed on several exchanges and then later got listed on Binance, you will see price drop.

But I am surprised that I saw Arkram on Binance launchpad (which means it is an IEO on Binance) but it was first listed on Bitget.

It'd be awesome if this thread showed up somewhere near walletgeneratordotnet in search results....any chance that could happen?
Among the search engines, especially Google, it cares more about money not protection or privacy. Google do not care about the people that are using their services. But what can most likely make this occur is if this thread is getting replies from time to time. This would be good for people that make searches like 'is walletgeneratordotnet a scam site or not', but if the person search for something like paper wallet genetor, this is what I found which is the scam site.

1483  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Top 5 Things to Consider When Choosing an Online Casino on: July 28, 2023, 08:08:54 AM
Honestly, RNG and other related stuff are not being considered as a factor when choosing online casinos at most.
If someone makes a research about the gambling site to be used, what he would be looking for is reputation, how fast and good  their customer care is, their deposit and withdrawal. Some people can also check for deposit bonus and other promotional offers. So I will say that you are saying the right thing.

About security, can we really tell that our information is secured at these sites? Simply, it's just a matter that we do trust them regardless if it's a fiat casino or crypto casino, that's it. We are complying at these sites based on our own judgment.
No sites can be trusted, I only get verified if I have to, but if not necessary, I will prefer not to get verified. Once your documents is submitted on those sites, there is probability that they will give it to third parties or another organization. It can even be hacked, which some hackers may demand ransom payment for.

Bitcoin lightning node is not the same as bitcoin node.

If you run bitcoin node, you are contributing to how decentralized bitcoin network is and it is validating mined blocks and blockchain transactions.

With lightning node, it is about the off-chain layer.  Lightning node runners are connected in channels to route off-chain transactions and they can open and close channels.

You can learn about the the differences: https://voltage.cloud/blog/lightning-network-faq/differences-between-bitcoin-nodes-and-lightning-nodes/

Blackrock is looking forward to provide spot ETF for its customers, not providing bitcoin mining service for its customers. If Blackrock later want to go for mining bitcoin, that is not related to bitcoin spot ETF and it will be good as it will make the bitcoin blockchain to be more secure. It is secure as it is now too.

For example
Today Binance exchange is having billions of dollars of customers money, but Binance mining pool is different entirely from Binance exchange.

I saw this not long ago:

The links are referring to the same Redditor

Quote
My Bitcoin was taken. How?" A Reddit user thought they were following best practices until two days ago when their Bitcoin wallet was completely cleaned out.

He said he used a good way to generate a paper wallet. HD wallet was created a very long time why are people still using the unsafe way to generate paper wallet.

There are many HD wallets available that can be used. Example is Electrum.

I checked the site on this forum, it has been known for scam vulnerabily since 2018.

Re: walletgenerator.net, I find no way to verify the download with PGP
Disclosure: Key generation vulnerability found on WalletGenerator.net

It was known to be a good site before, but now it is vulnerable that you will lose your coins if you use the site. I am wondering that someone will not make good research before using those generators. It is not good to even use JavaScript again to generate paper wallet.

To generate a paper wallet, use HD wallet.

How can a scam site like this be taken down?
1487  Economy / Speculation / Re: How did you see BTC in future? on: July 27, 2023, 06:26:53 AM
I expect bitcoin to have reached all-time-high by 2024. I mean I expect bitcoin to increase above $69000 by 2024. But I am still expecting $130000 to $170000 by 2025. The all-time-high after 2024 halving would likely be in 2025 and bitcoin would have increased above $100000 by that time.

Next time, do not just come to post without given a link that will make people to believe what you are talking about. I read about this few hours ago on Cointelegraph.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/presidential-candidate-rfk-jr-purchased-bitcoin-for-his-children

If people or all wealthy people can buy bitcoin for their kids, it would be good.
1489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: July 27, 2023, 05:53:52 AM
Here I have a point to make. For some poker players, I don't remember the exact statistic but they are around 10%, poker gives them money not takes it away. So you shouldn't lump them in with the rest of the casino games, which are inevitable money losers in the long run. With the general message of trying to control losses and accounts I agree but there are disciplines, like sports betting as well, where people make money, not lose it.
Poker is not what that is different in gambling. Blackjack, Baccarat, Livecasino and some other casino games can be good too. Even sport betting which is not frequent and occasion are good. But only few gamblers can use of gambling to make money. No matter how the game is, including Poker, frequent gamblers are prone to more loss. But just that their are strategies that can help minimize the loss or probably profit might be the outcome.

It has a marketcap of $785,267,106. It also has a very high trading volume. In marketcap comparison with other coins, it is ranked $57. I think that is impressive.

But if bitcoin fall, altcoins too will fall more. But if you have money that you can afford to lose and gamble with it, you can buy the coin because if bitcoin get to $100000, this coin would have increased significantly.
1491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A neighbor next door on: July 26, 2023, 12:27:48 PM
What will you do if something like this is happening around you? Why would a drug dealer want to learn Bitcoin if not for a safer haven for running the business?

My mind isn't settled as I keep thinking different things, what is on your mind readers?
That nature of the guy's business does not concern you if it is not terrorism. I do not see any reason that you should not teach him. He is not asking you to buy drug or to be in drug business. Just teach him the little part about sending and receiving.

There are many of them in the business that are using fiat. The help he is asking is not about what is illegal.
1492  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: XRP Lawyer Jeremy Hogan's Twitter Account Hacked on: July 26, 2023, 10:44:05 AM
Then definitely there must be something more unclear and physhing about the twitter accounts users, this a vulnerability already and if they did not work on it ASAP it may leads to major more experience coming under this, i know twitter to be one of the most trusted social media platforms where you could feels more secured and follow people on their official handle, scammers no longer impost their target users again, now they hack completely their account which is either a vulnerability from Twitter or the users to maintain the security consciousness of their account as you've all suggested.
Twitter is a place for scammer. It is a social media and scammers like places like that. I do not think the problem is from Twitter, the problem is from the Twitter account owners that were hacked, they do not take security seriousl until it happens to them and they are hacked.
1493  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Lightning network on: July 26, 2023, 10:34:53 AM
There are wallets that are custodial which people can use for lightning network. Everything the person needs is to download the wallet do the backup and generate an invoice to receive payment.

I have read before that not your node not your coin. There are ways you can be able to run your own lightning node to use lightning payment. Connecting to other nodes and allow people to open channels with you. This will help you in having privacy.

On Electrum wallet, you do not need to have your own node but open a channel directly. It is not custodial lightning that you will just download a wallet, do backup and generate invoice. You have to open a channel. The channels that depend on lightning nodes just like light client wallets depend on full nodes.

If I am using Electrum for lightning payment, is it your coin? The reason I asked is because they said not your node not your coin. I want to know how true it is.
1494  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency to be used as an investment asset on: July 26, 2023, 08:27:05 AM
Bitcoin is decentralized has been what I like about it as the adoption rate is very significant too. What I also like about it is the fixed supply and scarcity.

Note: I am not advising anyone on investment
This is clearly about bitcoin, not advertisment.

About return on investment, it might be a loss for a long time for people that invested at the wrong time. Example are people that invested at $50000. But bitcoin is still going above $50000 again. Even above $100000.
1495  Other / Meta / Re: Deleting Several Previous Posts/Comments To Reduce Post Count... on: July 25, 2023, 02:25:48 PM
What if it is one of the moderators or some moderators that is deleting it. Some posts are reported and got deleted. You can see some posts that are reported to be many and belonging to one user and moderators keep deleting the reported posts.

If someone is intentionally deleting his post, go to the person posting history and see if he is a bounty hunter. He may want to change and get merit to get a signature campaign. You can check if the person's account password change or email changed, which means the account has been bought and looking for a way to join a signature campaign.
1496  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: XRP Lawyer Jeremy Hogan's Twitter Account Hacked on: July 25, 2023, 01:58:36 PM
What kind of lawyer is he who doesn't know how to protect even a personal account on a social network? This event will surely help him get a few more clients, maybe someone from the team behind BtcTrash or even Faketoshi himself Smiley
Twitter account hack is now very common. I have read about many of them this year that scammers used to sell fake NFTs or used to scam people  or something like that.

If it is ripple laywer, that is bad too, but what about other ones. See the recently known one that happened not long ago about Uniswap founder. It happened four days ago or so.

https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/uniswap-founders-twitter-account-hacked-beware-of-deceptive-scam-attempt/

Probably another one is coming soon.

5 - Celebrity deaths: There are websites that offer celebrity death pools. So you have to place your bet on a celebrity you think may die, when they will die, and how. Do you think people may have placed a bet on Jamie Foxx?
To be betting on celebrities death is something else. I have not seen such gambling site before and I do not which to see one. I have not gambled on anything listed there before than presidential election.

13 - The End of the World: As crazy as it may sound, there is an online betting site for this. People predict when the world would end. Don't know if they will be around for the prize money if they eventually win.
Is this for real? This is just out of sense for me. How can people be betting on when this world will end which can not be during their lifetime.

Hello i want a bankroll of 1000 € who wants to back me ?

i have good account with good bonusses (chests)   you can get my winnings 50-50
Do you know what would have happened to people like you? Let me tell you.

If a gambler is an addict, he will first ask money from family members. When it is getting too much, he will look for ways to get loan. After that, he will continue to look for ways to look for money to gamble. This is where you are now. You just need €1000 to gamble with which you will still lose again.

Quite your gambling addiction and your life will change.

Have this thing across on your mind that merit sources and top merit earners are the ones trying out to monopolize signature campaigns on this forum and milking it out as much as they could?
Then try to be a merit source too or try to be one of the top merit earners. I am saying you should try to post like them and become like them.

You can also bring proof that you know what you are saying. Without prrof you are saying rubbish.

New accounts that had been created alone had been flooded out by lots of merits and turns out that they are really that familiar with this forum. Reaching out Senior accounts and even hero member ranking won't really be a problem.
Having alt is not against on this forum. If you like you can have alts too but have quality posts and rank on if you post something quality.

Merit sources are focusing with those accounts or even those top merit rankers in the forum. Merit distribution isn't really that fair and I'm assuming that they are building their own sockpuppets to solo out and milk out signature campaigns that requires accounts that have lots of merit counts.
Merit source are focusing on the accounts that post good.

They do really have the advantage and this what make this system sucks.
I believe this is your alt, but you account is not posting anything good is the reason you have this believe.
