161  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Chances of BTC surpassing the value of Fiat Money on: December 04, 2020, 07:39:58 PM
How will bitcoin surpass the value of fiat money if the fiat money is what powers the bitcoin Huh and as far as the value of bitcoin is concern, I don't think it will go that heavenly high that there isn't much fiat to buy bitcoins, I mean supply and demand is the core of the price so if it isn't present the price will just stay. I can only say that the present state of bitcoin is the best it has got through years, that I think it'll be this way for more coming years. We'll be selling at $20K, then watch the dump, wait again til we see $20K and it continues for like 2 to 3 years.
Well, one bitcoin years ago was $40 and it's almost $20,000 now. Isn't that an example of how bitcoin is surpassing the value of fiat? You could afford to buy one bitcoin easily years ago, can you do now? Not many can. So clearly implies something has gotten expensive right? Bitcoin.

The pump and dump are vague words when using bitcoins. The stability of bitcoins over the years has only shown a rise so not like it will ever fall to $50 again and even if it does, I doubt it will climb back to $20,000 again.

Domain names is - cryptoforum.org There is a word "forum" on domain name and logically if there is anything built on this website, it should be a forum. Even if we consider another case, it will be illogical for users when they see cryptoforum as a domain name and see absolutely different staff on website.
And how did you manage to come up with that logic? FYI, the forum just doesn't mean an online forum, if you look back at the definitions used by the Romans, it goes beyond your "online forum logic". People don't really care what the website domain is as long it has great content. With your logic, "Facebook" should be a website about book faces? Flawed.
163  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: (summary) The loan defaulted of this year (2020) on: December 04, 2020, 07:29:23 PM
It's fairly easy for such scammers to pull out a loan scam here. They buy a high-level bitcointalk account, do some $50-$150 deals on the currency exchange thread and get that green positive feedback. Create two threads showing their love and affection to the forum and there you've them as a "Reputed Member". I'm surprised how easy it is to get positive Feedback these days. Someone literally didn't want to do a currency exchange with me because I didn't offer them positive feedback in return. I saw their profile a couple of months after, they have a green trust and also went from being a Newbie to Senior because of their currency exchange thread. Now if this person pulls out a scam I wouldn't be surprised at all.

So, you're an accountant too! Are you able to provide the tax implications that one might face in the USA?

im looking to rise quick capital like 5000-10 000 $ to work 3 months a row to take holiday.
I will never trust an accountant who doesn't have $5000 saved to take a vacation in a first world country like America. I'd be flipping burgers and still can afford to take that vacation. Newbies, the first thing you do before interacting with this dude is this

Sorry if the topic sounds logically flawed I didn't dig much deeper into the financial fantasies of such.

I'm wondering what if one day Bitcoin goes so high up in value that it causes somewhat a fiat crisis? I mean imagine, you've Bitcoins but there isn't much cash available in the market to buy your BTC, or simply put people can't afford it? Will bitcoin be of any value then?

I know what I'm doing.
Doesn't seem like it..

Not sure how helpful it is for you but have a look at this thread and how I got hacked off my Electrum wallet when I knew "I was doing everything right", I wasn't.

The address that you copy-paste on your website if seen on a block explorer, does it show the funds you received? Does it show any transactions at all?

Will be helpful if you link to those addresses and transactions.

Ahh, so there is a problem! 6000 emails a month, 200 emails per day without a credit card! Offers a perfect opportunity for anyone looking to send spam emails without losing their identity. Also, multiply those numbers by 20 different accounts and one can create a massive spam farm. They have API's and stuff which would make automating this really easy. I wonder how does this company make money?  Roll Eyes

Why is everyone disagreeing with the idea of having that domain? It is a very good domain to own and has so much potential of course unless they're not creating to create another Bitcointalk.

@OP: You can maybe have a forum that offers tutorials for someone new getting into cryptos? Maybe a blog or something of that sort? The market is quite saturated on all that stuff but a unique idea can really put that domain to use.

many people miss the fun of uniswap, this is what scammers use to lure people by creating fake events and websites. so we have to be really careful
Thanks for the link, I've updated the OP. As far as I know, the UniSwap airdrop or whatever they called it is over ages ago right? Maybe UniSwap should post it on their official website. Anyway, keep the reports coming. Smiley

Actually, I never gave attention to that board. I knew it exists but didn't bother reading stuff because the format of how everyone posts (with the date and title) seems uninteresting and spammy to me. Now that I actually read some stuff in there, it seems like a perfect mini-tech blog for me.

As long as the user mentioned is concerned, if they're wearing a signature, they definitely need to get kicked out of their campaign. No doubt they're trying to get traffic on their medium page for whatever reasons by spamming links on the forum.
171  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: 🔥Bitcoin Wars | BitcoinWars.io | A 3D Modular Multiplayer Bitcoin Game 🔥 on: December 03, 2020, 11:06:54 PM
That looks like a very impressive game with the 3d graphics and all! Seems like also this game would be very skill-based somewhat like COD? What operating systems are you planning to target? The only issue that concerns me, in the long run, is the bots. What if the bots spawned are of a very high level and it's almost impossible for the new players to win the game? House will be on the win-win side.
172  Economy / Reputation / Re: MailJet is used by ledger hackers on: December 03, 2020, 10:58:28 PM
So what does the accusation imply? One should stop using the MailJet service? Or the hackers are from the MailJet team? I don't think any of the above proofs are sufficient to conclude anything.

Maybe they're using MailJet because their security isn't as strong as Google's or Mailchimp's? For instance, no IP block or restrictions on mass email generation? Also, just taking a look at their service, they seem to provide mass email generation for marketing purposes which definitely allows for spamming I suppose. Maybe MailJet allows them to stay anonymous?

The thread introduction looks very promising with stuff like "Five layers of security" and "Redis Caching". Do you actually provide all of that or it's just hype? Could you possibly elaborate on the additional layers of security you provide maybe have a blog post above it? I might use your server depending on the answer.
174  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Have BTC Want PAYPAL [$120] on: December 02, 2020, 11:48:00 PM
I need daily exchanges of $10-20.
Please check my post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5295347.0

If you are interested please let me know.
Sorry, those are very small amounts for me.


Bump and a small notice: If anyone contacts you on telegram claiming to be me, ask them to send you a message on bitcointalk from my forum account. If they can't, that's just not me and you are being targeted to scam. My telegram username isn't publicly available (AFIAK) and I would personally message you my telegram handle if I want to trade with you.
175  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reminder - High Bitcoin price = Higher than normal scam & hack activities! on: December 02, 2020, 11:43:56 PM
I'll tell you why -

Bitcoin price peeks always make it to the news, newspapers, or generally on the online media sources or social networks. This gets attention from the masses who want to invest in bitcoin or think it is the right time to make a move to get into crypto. They, the newcomers, usually fall victims to such silly scams because they got introduced to cryptos in the bull-run and they believe whatever they read online.
176  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Gamblers! What is your excuse to avoid a game with 0% House Edge? on: December 02, 2020, 11:39:26 PM
After running 4 years on Bitcoin blockchain, Chain-Bet.com has been re-written to run on Litecoin blockchain. It is a game that asks a simple question: What would be last digit of the block hash that includes your transaction? Players guess last digit of the block hash and bet on that. If the guess is correct, player gets back 16 times of the bet amount. As a promotional offer after our re-launch, the game is now operating at 0% House Edge.
That's very nice but if you look at the profit margins you'd have, I doubt you even need a house edge in the first place. Unlike other typical gambling sites, you offer x16 profits for all the bets I reckon. Logically, in every bet placed, you as the house have more chances of winning, or let's say you will win on every bet, unlike the gamblers who would win only some rounds or maybe just a couple of them. Anyway, I don't think reducing your house edge should matter or change your numbers in terms of the customers.

177  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: /!\ New Service: Historical data chart & download - Feedback appreciated! /!\ on: December 02, 2020, 11:33:09 PM
The historical data could be useful but don't the common trading platforms/exchanges have the ability to show the historical data? Their customers can use that feature instead of needing another tool correct?

On your tool, I guess it does the job but very slow and laggy. Click events take time to update and the render on-screen update are also very slow. Basically, the UI responds very poorly to user interactions. You need to use some framework like React/Vue to handle UI properly.
178  Other / Meta / Re: [PROPOSAL] Partial reset of airdropped merits on: December 02, 2020, 11:21:45 PM
Just make it illegal to sell accounts,
Illegal? Doubt forum has any official jurisdiction that considers anything legal or illegal... Anything that is considered illegal here is the same stuff considered illegal in real laws.

Regarding the proposal to reset airdropped merit partially, this seems like a bit too drastic of a measure in order to stop something as account sale ( maybe I'm naive/ignorant on the matter but I don't think that's happening on a mass scale) and might affect those that don't have anything to do with shady business but just decided to take longer hiatus from forum.
Exactly! Doesn't make sense to punish a few because of the few causing a nuisance. It's the same as banning newbies from creating threads because some of them are only spam links or currency exchange scam threads.
179  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Telegram Scammer pretending to be @CryptopreneurBrainboss on: December 02, 2020, 11:13:40 PM
Thanks for sharing it with us. I am facing the same issue, someone annoying me with a similar telegram username of mine. Even I have written a note in my profile, but I have received a couple of messages that imposter succeeds to scam. Although there is no fault for me, but I feel bad. I have also created a few warning threads as well to prevent that imposter.
No worries man! That's good to know. One possible solution could be sharing telegram only with the users privately instead of having it on the profile because it becomes easier to copy the telegram handle and create a similar one. I'm still brainstorming a better way to handle this.

OP, are you saying it's the "Brainboss" part of the telegram handle that's making you think he's impersonating CryptopreneurBrainboss?  I wouldn't have assumed someone with the handle @PedroBrainboss would be trying to impersonate CBB.  I don't even know the significance of "Brainboss" is, though I'm curious.
Oh not just that, their username on telegram is also CryptopreneurBrainboss. They linked me to the original forum account of CryptopreneurBrainboss when asked who they are on the forum. They linked me to the real CryptopreneurBrainboss's forum account's trust page too. So clearly a case of impersonation.
180  Other / Meta / Re: Does this forum have a discord server? on: December 02, 2020, 11:07:42 PM
All the bitcoin and crypto discord servers seem to be dead. It would be nice if there was an official discord server and the mods made an effort to make it active.
Why? Isn't spam on this forum enough of a job for the mods to deal with?

Can you explain what benefits a discord server will provide that this forum doesn't? There isn't one (there actually is ) and doubt there is a need for another one to be created especially by the mods. They put in enough "efforts" to keep this forum clean.
