I think self-moderation is the right of the user who creates the thread and it would be really unfair to take that right from the user even if the thread is in reputation board. The OP who creates the thread often dislike the replies that aren't related to thread and somehow could create more clashes and the better solution is to not reply in such threads where OP has made it self-moderated.

I know sometimes the OP who created the thread will remove our posts without any question and he/she has the right to do that because he/she is the moderator of that thread and no-one can do anything against him/her. I'm not sure that why it would affect anyone if someone creates a self-moderated thread in Reputation board and in such threads they can obviously delete the unlikely posts without someone's permission.

I think it's far better to create your own thread and present the same issue that the OP of that thread has raised and no-one would be able to delete your posts from that thread. But, it's not worth it to take something into such extremes and I would instead forget about the deleted rather than worrying about it.

Yeah, I agree with you that wrongdoings will always make someone pay for their such activity. But, the guy didn't store close to 3 Billion dollars worth of Bitcoin because in 2012 the rate of Bitcoin wasn't too high and 51680 Bitcoin were less than $1M in value back then. The guy hacked around $400k to $690K in those days as Bitcoin's value was below $14 in 2012 and they weren't worth the way they are worth today.

The hackers are really big threat to the community but unfortunately very few of those get punished as most of them are so smart that it would be difficult for governmental agencies to trace them. This guy was a newbie type of hacker because a good hacker must have enough knowledge about technology and they would never do something that Jimmy did back then.

A hacker would never ever do his/her KYC approval because hackers know that how sensitive their privacy and anonymity is and that's why they would never do anything to make out their privacy compromisable. The guy was just a script kiddie who really didn't had proper knowledge about hacking.

 

Nice question and I have an answer for that. The "we" that I used was not to show that I have someone else with me in the room but I was referring to the members of the forum with same thinking. Most BTC holders want to have it at $40k and that's why I said we want it to reach 40k within a week. Everyone who wants BTC to reach $40k range faster is included in that "we" which I used.

Well, that's correct to some extent and yeah the ones who know referral program make a lot of money with it. The referral program is best suited for the users who have their presence of social media and who have a good number of followers. The ones with no social media presence will struggle to gain any referrals even if they give a lot of time to the referral programs. It's pretty hard to earn any income from referral program if you can hardly convince 1-2  users to use your referral link for a casino but if you can convince 100's of users to use your referral link and they somehow use your referral link during registration then surely you'll have enough passive income as long as they are placing bets and depositing money into that casino.

That's very true a gambler should consider gambling as a fun activity and should think that winning and losing is just part of that activity and nothing else. A gambler gets lucky sometimes and at other times the same gambler can get unlucky and that's part of one's life which no one can change. When someone is lucky he/she wins a lot and thinks that he/she can make a lot of money in gambling but forgets that luck is temporarily on one's side and it can be against you as well other times.

I do agree that casinos is the one who earns more because they know that gamblers can't be lucky all the time and sometimes they'll have to face their bad luck a lose a lot of money which casino earns as a reward. The casinos are there because they want to earn money and that's a reality if everyone gets lucky and wins all the time then all of the casinos will get bankrupt.

A casino will be in working condition if some players lose and some players win and if everyone wins all the time then surely we won't find any casinos anymore. But, that doesn't means the casinos are unfair or they use shady tactics to make players lose the negative ones may use such tactics the respected ones will never do anything wrong with the players.

If I'm not wrong then with the new bill they can take legal action against anyone who holds Bitcoin and they can easily make out the fake evidence that the Bitcoin were used in illegal activities and can seize those Bitcoin from the holders without any question.

That's the worst step against Bitcoin holders because now the government agencies can legal seize anyone's Bitcoin and consider those as illegally acquired coins and the holders won't be able to do anything because the bill allows the agencies to do that.

That's another step taken by a government to suppress the freedom of Bitcoin holders which's totally unfair act against the holders who have accumulated Bitcoin by legal means. The holders won't be able to prove that they have invested a lot of time and money in order to accumulate those Bitcoin. I think this is the start of such actions and in future they will make more strict rules for Bitcoin holders.

I don't know why you want to have moderators on a forum that has low to no traffic at all. If you want to have a paid moderators then surely you'll get a few moderators because of your this post but if you want a free moderator then I'm sorry to say but you won't get anyone from this forum who would moderate the forum for free.

Let's be serious if you are really in need of a moderator then you should at least offer that moderator a salary for his hard moderation work, and that way you may get some moderators from this forum. But, still I don't think that any reputed member will trust you because your account is still a newbie rank account and that's why you should also have someone as escrow if you want to offer a position to a member of this forum.

I agree with you the US judicial system is still better than most judicial systems of the world and all legal proceedings take time and we all have to understand that. SBF will get punished for the things he has done to the victims of the FTX and for that we'll have to wait sometime. The US judicial system is known for its justice and surely justice will be done with the victims who were affected by FTX and lost so much of their savings. I believe that such cases take longer than normal cases because a lot of evidence is needed in order to take a final decision. I'm sure that FTX victims will get justice and SBF will reach his destination very soon.

Such things were known to be sold on darknet before but now those sellers are expanding their dirty business and selling such things directly to public on social media sites like Reddit. The sellers who sell such things like drugs will most probably accept Bitcoin and Monero as a way of payment because they know how to be safe from the authorities by selling their dirty drugs to the public when accepting those crypto-currencies.

I can say that such things are very weird but those sellers mostly sell drugs to local public and they accept fiat as well for their negative activities. I hope that number of such sellers will reduce and because of those people some so-called authorities and their spokesperson say wrong things about Bitcoin and neglect the fact that most of the drugs are purchased with fiat not with Bitcoin or any other crypto-currency.

Bitcoin is a very volatile asset and that's why investors who purchase it at the right moment make good profits from their investment. Your brother was smart enough that he bought Bitcoin for 24-25k+ range because that was a very good and profitable price mark for the investors. The new investors who aren't into Bitcoin can still purchase it without any worries because in next few months Bitcoin can reach $50k or above in value and that's why it's still a very profitable asset for the investors.

You can done a good job by withdrawing your money from bank and investing those into Bitcoin as the money won't give you any profits if it stays in a bank but when invested in a top class asset like Bitcoin then profit is a sure thing for you. I still think that it's better to learn about Bitcoin and crypto market in general before investing money into it because if you aren't aware about Bitcoin and the ways to store it privately then still you can be at risk.

Most new investors buy Bitcoin via centralized exchanges and let their Bitcoin in the custodial wallets of the exchanges but that's not the best way to store your Bitcoin. A well-versed Bitconer would never put his/her Bitcoin into the custodial wallets of the centralized exchanges because those exchanges can be hacked or they can steal your coins themselves and then make excuses like they have been hacked or something else.

You need to learn about personal Bitcoin wallets like Electrum and once you learn about it then withdraw your Bitcoin from exchange's custodial wallet to your own personal wallet. That way you will be the owner of the Bitcoin that you bought not the centralized exchanges. I hope you will try to learn more about Bitcoin and I can assure you that you'll find all information about Bitcoin and its wallets from this forum.

I believe that buying a plot with crypto-currencies or Bitcoin is just like buying it with fiat and there is nothing weird with such approach. I have not bought much with crypto-currencies or Bitcoin other than some digital items but many people have bought physical things with Bitcoin and that doesn't make their purchase weird. I used to be very active on the digital goods board of the forum and I purchased AWS credit codes from this forum back then and if that sounds weird then that's the weirdest thing that I have bought with Bitcoin.

Get well soon buddy! We'll hear from you and from healthier version of you! I hope that colonoscopy will be less painful procedure and I also hope that you'll get well soon.

Who knows we may see 50k by November 28, and if that happens we all will be happy!

We want BTC at 40k within a week! Go BTC no-one can stop you!

A very nice idea that you came with but unfortunately it won't work on the newbies of this forum. Most of the newbies don't read pinned posts because they think that pinned posts as they really want to explore the forum themselves and that's why they will ask questions again and again until they learn about forum in detail from other members.

There are a few newbies who will not understand anything for long durations and in search of learning they create so many threads. A single pinned thread won't satisfy their questions and that's why they will continue to search for some answers and in that search they will create more threads.

However, I believe that you idea is a good one and I suggest you to work on it yourself and if your thread contains all the information then who knows the moderators of that board might consider to pin it up. But, I still think that it will be among many other threads that are available on that board.

I confirm that I have received the payment of round 18 on time. Thanks once again for timely payments.

I really don't know why they want Bitcoiners to be trapped in the traditional banking system is it that they don't want us to be independent and Kyced thing could be pretty much unacceptable for many Bitcoiners who don't want to reveal their identity in public. I guess they're doing this so that they can tax everyone who is hodling Bitcoin and that's the worst thing they can do with Bitcoiners.

People love and use Bitcoin because of its decentralized nature and now they want to take away that freedom from us. I'm not sure but I guess that all KYCed centralized exchanges have accepted their proposal of sharing the users complete data to the governments and that's why now they want to every Bitcoin holder to use Bitcoin via centralized exchanges.

In order to review the [banned mixer] I used three different browsers to test the mixer. I used Microsoft Edge Version 118.0.2088.61 for 1st mixing test, Tor Version 12.5.5 for 2nd mixing test, and Firefox Version 119 for 3rd mixing test. I have viewed the pages first in all of the browsers and checked the UI of the website before doing any mixing and I can say that the site loaded flawlessly, and the UI was professionally made. I used premium mixing security level two times as that one was mandatory for the review so I thought why not to use it for both tests and I used standard security level for the third mixing test. The mixing process went smoothly without any issues with two browsers but in third browser and I had encountered a minor issue.


The [banned mixer] is a mixer site that’s for the users who want to have untraceable Bitcoin transactions. The [banned mixer] provides solutions for the users who want to mix up their Bitcoin and make those untraceable. The main purpose of such mixers is to increase the anonymity of the coins so no one can trace that who owns those coins. The [banned mixer] works in the simplest way possible, and the site offers 3 simple steps to make your coins untraceable. The step-1 is to deposit your Bitcoin into the deposit address that [banned mixer] generates for you, and in the step-2 the [banned mixer] mix up your Bitcoin for you and in step-3 they will send the untraceable Bitcoin into your wallet address or addresses that you added as receiving address or addresses during the mixing process. All of those steps are explained in [banned mixer]’s site in detail so I won’t go deep to explain those in details in this review. The minimum deposit for using of [banned mixer]’s mixing service is 0.001 BTC and the minimum service fee is 0.4% which is really impressive. They promise smart anonymity and they claim that no-one will be able to trace the mixed coins and the coins won’t be linked with the coins that the user deposits.


First of all I must say that the design of the [banned mixer] is quite impressive and it’s better than other mixers in design and loading speeds. Another important thing I noticed is the loading speed of the site, it’s way faster in loading than other competitors because other mixing sites take a lot of time to load on Tor browser but [banned mixer] loads instantly. The design of the site is professionally made and I haven’t noticed any lag whatsoever when browsing the site on Microsoft Edge and on Tor but it was a little bit slow on Firefox. The site offers dark mode and that’s also pretty interesting but I mostly use light mode and that’s why I just used dark mode for testing purpose only but still I can say that dark mode is working perfectly.


The site is available in 8 languages at the time which include English, German, Italian, Russian, French, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish. The home page of the site loads instantly and the animations appear quickly which is a very positive experience for the users. I have loaded each page of the [banned mixer] including the Support page and I can surely say that the loading speeds of the site are unmatched and no competitor is able to offer such speeds on their sites. The design of the site is eye-catching and everything works flawlessly without any issue. I must say thumbs up for [banned mixer] team for making their site very responsive and eye-catching and user-friendly.


For this mixing I used Edge browser and I used Premium security level at [banned mixer] and set the fee to highest in order to see how it works. For this mixing I sent 0.00102 BTC and I used two receiving addresses for the test. I put the delay of 1 hour and 33 minutes and 51.87% for 1st address and 2 hour 9 minutes and 48.13% for 2nd address. I didn’t applied any Tumbler code this time because I haven’t mixed my coins before with [banned mixer] and after selecting the delay and percentage allocation I was about to receive 0.000569 BTC according to the estimator of [banned mixer] and I selected continue to further proceed the mixing process.


On next page I got the deposit address and a letter of guarantee and I downloaded the letter of guarantee and checked it thoroughly and proceeded with depositing. As soon as I received a confirmation the [banned mixer] prepared the order without any delay and then I waited to see the completion of the mixing. Once the mixing was finished I copied the Tumbler code in order to apply it on my next mixing.


For this mixing I sent 0.00102 BTC from this address bc1qm34lsc65zpw79lxes69zkqmk6ee3ewf0j77s3h to this wallet address bc1qg8vu7p2peh9gd2maxdk8xvm2hgzpmjgujw2cml which was generated by [banned mixer] and I used bc1qthppcsr6gtq929tkdfvsmfpt7shem3skfsyta7 as 1st address and bc1q8n5j8qce8kkzrecl978lfdclf000lgzwjcv2td as 2nd address.

I would say that the [banned mixer] has done the job in the best way possible and there were no problems during mixing and after mixing so I guess anyone can use it without any worries. I’m not a chain analyst or expert at tracing Bitcoin transactions but I tried every possible way to see if I can find a trace of my own coins but surprisingly I wasn’t able to see any trace of my coins. The coins I received were totally different from the coins that I deposited. The mixer has really done its job professionally and I would say that premium mixing at [banned mixer] works in the best way possible. The fees were a little bit higher for such level of mixing and the fee of 0.0002 BTC for each receiving address is high I guess and I recommend [banned mixer] to reduce it in order to get more users on their site.



Once my first mix was completed I began my second mixing test and for this test I used Tor browser version 12.5.5 and set the security level to Premium once again this time but with 3.69% as fee instead of 5%. For testing the [banned mixer] on Tor I used the onion version of it. The experience was similar to the clear net version and I had no lagging issues or whatsoever. I used my previous [banned mixer] code in order to avoid getting my own previous coins after the mix and for this test I used a single receiving address only.

Once again I deposited 0.00102 BTC for this test and selected delay time of 2 hour and 59 minutes for this mixing my estimated receiving amount was 0.0078236 BTC and clicked on continue button in order to proceed further. I agreed to the terms and conditions and proceeded to next step of mixing. I downloaded the letter of guarantee once again and gave it a reading. And now I left the mixing process in background and opened it after approximately 3 hours and it was completed successfully. Once again I was amazed with the results of the mixing as it ran flawlessly in background and was completed successfully.

For this mixing I used b75af2768d256bf50346f393d4c40ddf as order code which I got from my previous mixing and I sent 0.00102 BTC from these addresses bc1qm34lsc65zpw79lxes69zkqmk6ee3ewf0j77s3h and bc1qm34lsc65zpw79lxes69zkqmk6ee3ewf0j77s3h to this deposit address bc1qsmx6q29hpzvjde3f085vp58c7gyknmd7l88l92 which was generated by [banned mixer] for mixing purpose and I used bc1qe504atequqk7d6e2f8sywa0hvhha542r9fdpg8 as receiving address.


I tried to trace the address once again in block explorer and I can surely say that it had no connection with my previous coins that I sent for my first mixing. The [banned mixer]’s claims are 100% accurate about the use of code and I confirmed it myself. Although the mixing was done in 3 hours only but still I can say that anonymity levels of the mixing was pretty good and it won’t be easy for anyone to trace it. However, I recommend [banned mixer] team once again to reduce the fee for generation of additional receiving address as the anonymity level will increase very much when multiple receiving addresses are used and with low fee the users will most probably choose multiple addresses instead of one address.

The low fee will allow the users to add more receiving addresses and that will surely add additional anonymity into the process of mixed coins. However, the anonymity levels are still quite good even with two addresses and that’s more than enough for most users who want their coins mixed. I’m quite sure that it would be difficult for normal tech users to trace the users even if the users have used single or multiple addresses however, I don’t know that which technology chain analysis companies use and that’s why I can’t say anything about their tracing levels. But, I still think that they may not be able to trace the users who use [banned mixer]’s Premium security level for mixing of their coins.


This is the third time I'm using the [banned mixer] mixer and this time I used Firefox to test the mixing of the platform. In this test the Captcha page was a little bit lagging for me but I was able to enter the captcha code without any errors. This time I went with Standard mixing security level instead of Premium and I set the fee at 1.85% for this test. The order details page was smooth once again and I was able to thick the terms & conditions without any problem but when I clicked on continue button to go to the next page I got an error.


After that error I refreshed the page and I was taken to "in progress page" without any changes and I continued the mixing by entering 0.00102 BTC for the test and sent Bitcoin to the address provided by [banned mixer]. For this testing I didn't use any order code and I sent 0.00102 Bitcoin to this address bc1q4tp0rf08h8uv907lnayq2mvvzjstulgdqv2hgw and used the following two as receiving addresses bc1qlczvwvjhngzf689qrg9t0unjgcle6mw282c3wx and bc1qd08zfk3cv04vqr6cgl6y27sax77p2rdelkack3 and set the delay of 68 minutes for 1st receiving address and 98 minutes for 2nd receiving address. The process went smoothly once again and I received my mixed coins on time without any delays. The [banned mixer] has done the job in the best way once again and I tried to see that the coins had any connection with my coins but once again it was a smooth mixing without any tracing details.



1. I recommend [banned mixer] to fix the typo error in languages. When you click on languages you see Germany instead of German which I guess is a typo that needs to be fixed by the [banned mixer] team.


2. Another suggestion I want to give to [banned mixer] team is to reduce the fee of the additional addresses for the users who make minimum deposit as that will be very competitive for other competitors. However, other those I haven’t faced any issue with [banned mixer] and my experience with this mixer went pretty smoothly.

The [banned mixer] delivered their what they promised and I was quite impressed by using this mixer. The mixer that [banned mixer] has made is surely somewhat different from other mixers and the best thing I noticed about them is their site's design, user-friendliness, and fast loading speeds. I must say that it's the most responsive mixer for the users who want to mix their coins on Tor. Overall, I have spend two days with this mixer and I can surely say that it was a great user experience and I hope that Tumbler team will consider my suggestions.

I'm not misleading him because $100 a month in current market levels is better than nothing and if OP continues doing that for many months then he'll accumulate enough Bitcoin which can give him enough profits if he can hold those Bitcoin for some years. The current price of Bitcoin is in $33.5k to $34k range and if it gets a dip then it will revert back to $32k and even if Bitcoin crosses $50k then still OP will make enough profits by accumulating Bitcoin each month. The expected price of Bitcoin is going to be above $1M in future and some predict that it would reach $5M to $10M a single Bitcoin and if that prediction becomes a reality then OP will have huge profits from his investment.

Bitcoin investment is better for the ones who have less capital because trading requires you to have enough capital in order to make good profits and trading isn't always profitable because most of the times new traders fall into the trap of their emotions and instead of earning profits they empty up their account's balance. In bull run only those traders will make money who know trading deeply and have made their successful trading strategies, the newbie traders will lose instead of making any profits. That's why I recommend the OP to go with the investment route instead of trading route.

You're right the price of Bitcoin is still between $33,500 to $34,200 but I think that I will go to upwards price levels from now. It's always better to know your investments and when you can't afford some amount to lose then you should never invest that amount into anything. Bitcoin is seeing a good growth this week and if the growth continues then surely we'll see Bitcoin at $40k levels within days not weeks.

But, some people believe that the price uptake was due to FUD only and may revert back if investors get any fear. However, I'm positive that Bitcoin won't go below $30k again and if it's above $30k then we're in safe zone and we'll see further upward movements.
