1681  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: how to protect your bitcoin in a real estate transaction? on: November 11, 2022, 09:14:11 AM
selling a large property and both parties have agreed on the amount and will do the final transaction in bitcoin.  So in process, there are people who will know that X amount of bitcoin has been received in a public wallet that belongs to me. 

what are my options in protecting myself from physical attacks?  transfer the bitcoin to another wallet, letting others believe that I am not the holder of those bitcoins anymore?

note: I have already purchased my ledger nano. 

To make that transaction safe better do meet up with the buyer so that you can make sure that he really sent the amount and also you can see if the balance reflect on your wallet then sign the papers to make all things smooth and safety at your end.

try also to use the mixers given if you want to try to hide that balance since from that it gives you little security to be traced by anyone.

I will never trust cex anymore.
Keep buying bitcoin to hardware wallet.

That's the smart way to do since buying bitcoin and store it on cex will give you a huge risk to lose your money, so if you plan to buy some bitcoins then hold it better withdraw it and store on your hardware wallet because this is safe destination of your holdings.

At the moment there's a lot of problem happening of one of the biggest exchange exist at this era so most provably this drama will create lots of commotion which can make the price move and discourage some of people to invest on any crypto at this point.
1683  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: FTX Scam : Unable to withdraw on: November 09, 2022, 11:23:47 PM
Recently we have seen some really bad scenes when two crypto exchanges Binance and FTX have some issues and one want to dominate the other.

I will not go into details as we already hearing updates on bitcointalk and Twitter but the most frustrating and bad thing is that FTX has disabled the withdrawals and they are not processing them.  Undecided

If FTX does not have any funds with them and FTT token is dumping to zero, can we expect another major crypto exchange scam? Why do we have to suffer always?

If you hear any good news about withdrawals on social media or on their official Twitter account, please do share it here.

This might be another Mt.gox the same scene and if the dump on their token is uncontrollable then maybe we see more frustrating scenarios coming from people who hold their tokens as well unto their platform users.

I don't believe they don't have funds but maybe they do that stopping the withdrawal to minimize the damage they got due to some bad news happening to them so I guess people need to relax a little bit since for sure they cannot easily do exit scam since they are well monitored by big institutions.

Quote
Laplas is new clipper malware that generates a wallet address similar to the victim’s wallet address. The victim will not notice the difference in the address, which significantly increases the chances of successful clipper activity.

This is nothing new, because even before such programs had the function of generating a coin address as similar as possible to deceive those who check only the beginning or end of the address. I always check the coin address using the hardware wallet, and for each larger amount I do it several times before I click on the final send button.

Many incident happen already about it and most provably many are aware about this type of malware so we really need to check if not once twice or even trice the wallet address we use before making the transaction done to avoid any loss by such horrific creation by rascals.

We need to be vigilant for all the time and always check the installed software so that we will not possibly get the bad ones which can cause harm to us.

1XBIT IS A SCAM BOOKIE

They took the money that I had in my account.
From one day to the next, and for no reason, my withdrawals have been restricted. I had 1400€ inside, I contacted by chat and email, and suddenly they tell me that I have violated the terms and conditions (w.t.f!? Of course I didn't violate anything, I was just betting normally and obviously winning,
You don't need to violate any rules for your funds to be confiscated in 1xbit casino, because i wonder what the hell will you be doing with a casino like this, despite all the numerous scam accusations this casino has ever recorded and you still went further to gamble here. I am very sorry my friend, because your money is already gone for good. Because this is what happens to people who fail to do research about a casino before depositing that just happened to you. So next time, endeavour to always DYOR
Not all  who posted in this thread are Bitcointalk members  , meaning some of them are from outside that has no complete Idea what kind of site is this , until they become a victim of this scam company .

1xbit had  been advertising all over the internet and not just here in Bitcointalk so there will be more to come here , though we are all lucky for not becoming a victim because we are aware of how this works.

They are been well marketed by some paid reviewing site or maybe other more platforms which doesn't review the reputation of this casino so most provably after those people get scam they came here and posted the claims about what they experience when they bet on this casino.

Its not surprising to see more victims will come here since most provably the costumers of 1xbit came from outside of this forum since no experience users will go since their reputation is so bad here.

One of good ideas to be have but the question here is can you take all the happenings on bitcoin and can you handle the market stress brought up by bitcoin since we would never know on when the price of bitcoin would reach at ATH and maybe by the time your child reach at the right age the price of bitcoin will dump since there's what we call bearish trend so I guess even though you intend your holding for your child do also a smart move to multiply it since not selling on multiple ATH happen will cost a lot of minus profit to you and him/her.
1687  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: This is why it's not a good idea to leave your coins on any exchange on: November 08, 2022, 11:32:15 AM
It should be a practice that don't leave most of your funds if you're not going to use them on exchanges. There are certain reasons why people are leaving their funds there and one of it as you've mentioned is about trust.


Maybe total of 5% of your funds should be put on exchange then other than that should be stored on your hardware wallet since this could make us more safety from any hacking incidents compare if we choose to put all or funds on exchange where attacks might possible occur to them. To many reasons why not leave your funds on any of them even if how trusted they are and for us not to get any problems regarding on internal or external issues happening on exchange we should avoid to trust them 100% of our money.

This why i lose 2 days in a row thiefs. New casino iwas in

You are right to blame something external rather than yourself.

Was that the revenge you were talking about yesterday?

Lost 270 dollar in roullete plan on revenge

It looks like you didn't get your revenge very well, but you're right, it's not your fault. Maybe the roulette wheel is rigged or something.

Yes it was rigged in casini near my house i hit all the time..

The solution is to get out fast from one casino if you see too many loses and go to casino you won.


Anyway i feel like thr casino is rigged or cursed cuase i am a lucky guy this shit not happen to me



Maybe you are just expecting to much then didn't quit immediately once you are on winning side and then bad luck came then you lose all your money. This happen always especially when you became greedy and want to earn more money since you are not contended on what you are receiving at that time.

Maybe next time best solution to gain from roullete is to quit immediately and comeback tommorrow or the other day since if you came back in an hour or the same day you might lose all your money.
1689  Economy / Economics / Re: Will you further your degree from school, or learn a new skill after college? on: November 06, 2022, 12:45:06 PM
What will be your advice to two friends who have just finished from college, one is considering furthering her education in the degree she has gotten from college, the other says she has learnt enough from school and rather than looking to further her education in the degree she has gotten from school, she is considering learning a good skill that she considers will be highly sort after. If it will cost roughly the same amount of money for the both of them to go with what they like and both choices are prospective, who would you advice to reconsider, and who would you encourage to continue?

Tell your friends that never explore risky things if you are not sure about your future, use your degree first to get a job which can give you a convenient life then after you get enough savings then you could choose to learn new skill and test out what new things you learned if this will work for you because if you succeed on it then this will give you a huge success to get out on stressful 9-5 jobs. But if you fail you still have safety net since your job will help you not to get broke.
1690  Economy / Gambling / Re: Roobet.com | Crypto’s Fastest Growing Casino 🦘 on: November 06, 2022, 10:45:03 AM
I personally think that it is a must especially if it involves money. It's a pre-cautionary protection that we should be attentive. I've avoided few incidents of potential hacking because of this IP blocking. I don't remember the name of that exchange but it blocked the hacker from withdrawing anything from my account because according to the email, The log in was suspicious and the IP address is new to the account, I was saved by a notification from my phone. I believe that all of casino should have a feature like this, I know a tedious task for a casino to put a security like this but I think it is a must.
Blocking IP is a good practice. If anyone hacks any of your financial accounts either any exchange account or gambling account where you have funds. Hackers can get access your account by hacking but they would not be able to hack your IP so, if they block withdrawing funds from that new IP then your fund can remain safe.
But it would really be a hassle on users side when you do tend to make out withdrawals specially when you are in transit which it do basically you cant make out withdrawals unless you are in your home or the router
which that certain IP is tied up on such account.Its indeed a good security feature but there are some con's into it but in overall it would really be a good one and should be considered.
I have tested out this kind of thing on discord which it do ask out for some verification if your account is logged in into a different IP or connection which
it is hassle but when it comes to security its a sure thing.

Not convenient if you are always away from your home so for sure you will find hassle to transact things on your account but its somehow addition on security measure if this one will be implemented since no one can withdraw your funds unless you are at your home and use the tied up IP on your account. But I don't think this one will be is also a good option since there are so many users who frequently not at home so doing transactions will really be hassle to them. But if Roobet will do a poll towards this and see the people sentiments on this possible implementation then they might read what people thoughts about this discussion.
Correct, adding out a feature and implementing it should really be asked out if this one would be preferred or they would rather stick out on the traditional way of withdrawing without having those IP restriction.

Its true that it wont really be that convenient since you cant really make any withdraw if you are out of your own home since IP would be different but just as said that security is much more tighter with this.
Asking the community would really be a good idea because implementing it directly might really be ending up on lots of bashes and complaints because not all would really be that confident on having this.


Ideas should be voted out by the community since this kind of feature might create conflict of interest on each user since this might create dislikes to others who doesn't want to make their life more hassle, so maybe if many users would agree on this feature to be added then this is the time roobet should think about adding it. But it will be a hell of inconvenience since imagine you are out for vacation and you cannot withdraw your funds anytime you want.
1691  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcasino.io 🖤 on: November 05, 2022, 11:07:50 PM

I wonder whether the ETH price prediction has been stopped? or maybe Karl is too busy so he forgot to post this one ?

I believe the ETH predictions is just a trial run since it's not available on the Bitcasino website by the time that promotion runs here. Bitcasino really loves Bitcointalk user for giving us an exclusive tournament without any wagering requirementa needed unlike in the casino that needs 10mbtc to get 1 vote.  Cheesy

Maybe they will introduced again another tournament but this time they will use different token since they really like experimenting to spice up the tournament. Karl never forget.  Cheesy

Maybe they just see the difference between if there's a ETH prediction and there is not and maybe they have now complete assessment to the situation then open the ETH prediction contest again since it will add additional fun since this will open different discussion towards what certain prediction on other alts aside from bitcoin.

1693  Economy / Economics / Re: Can A Redesign of A Countries Currency Note Improve Its Economy? on: November 04, 2022, 10:26:34 PM
I too believe there would have been a better way to address the insecurity Issue the country is facing and deal with the corrupt politicians instead of spending money that the country doesn't have on redesigning and printing new currencies which would have been used for other very important areas of the economy like the flood issue the country is currently facing.
 

They choose that one because it is easier to implement and easier to loot money for the development and production of that new note.  The government should focus on how to improve their GDP.
A corrupt government will always find a way to get easy money and printing a new design money might be one of the best option for them.
I'm also wondering why there's a need to redesign the currency where in fact it doesn't change the value of it.

If they really want to make their currency more powerful it's better for them to focus on important matter on how to deal with their economic problem. In my country, we printed a lot of new money almost every new president they redesign it but look at our currency right now, it is still weak.

On brighter side it creates demand since there are investors who want to see good design on some notes and might their action can gather attention from global investors. On darkest side maybe those corrupt politician just use this alibi for them to get more money from government funds.

But nothing happen unto this plan even how good the beautification they do if their official is corrupt since for sure there's no investor will spend their investment on a country if they know that they cannot get huge benefits especially if their officials are so greedy on money.
1694  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Duelbits] SCAM Withdrawal Issue on: November 04, 2022, 12:11:31 PM
Some would say that you were lucky, others that you were too lucky, and I would say that you shouldn't be surprised at all that they paused your withdrawal. I find it a bit suspicious that you made a withdrawal after each win, and that you then made a deposit again, which in combination with the fact that you made a profit of even $10k must have activated some kind of security mechanism. I guess it didn't help that your deposits and withdrawals are in different coins, which in combination with everything else doesn't look very legitimate.

I must mention that this is only my opinion, and that I have no connection with that company, nor can my opinion affect the outcome of this case.
Hello Alexi, we received your Query and we will be able to help you recover your $16,000 back, send in your phone number and email address to enable us assist you

Lol, that's not how support works and people who do this are scammers so we assume that you are one of it since if you professionally work with Duelbits for sure you will never ask anything on him in public and deal only with their support email used to cater this problems.

If you are trying to scam OP then this kind of attempt never works here.

It is not fair for the wife and of course the children because they are supposed to know everything .

but at least the  Winner has a better plans  to let the family taste that said huge win , but the identity of the person needs to be hidden from everybody aside from His own wife  Grin Grin

but that serves me something to think and there is a catch from the winner after this.

Maybe he knows that he's wife will spread out the information about what he's going recently that's why he decide to shut up so that no one in their neighborhood or their friends will know about he win in a lottery since it could endanger their lives.

For sure when the news about the winner of the lotto will be silent and many people forget about those good event for sure slowly by slowly he will tell it to his wife that he won a huge amount of money.
1696  Economy / Gambling / Re: Livecasino.io - 🔥 up to 20% cashback🔥up to 20% rakeback 🚨 instant withdrawals on: November 03, 2022, 11:33:13 PM

People like me must need bankroll management, I personally do not trust myself with betting, that is why I end up gambling way too much when I win. If I deposit 50 bucks and turn that into 100 or 150 bucks, I finish it as quickly as I would finish 50 bucks, that is why I try to withdraw and spread it around.

Hehe, I do experience this sometimes, just like what happened in my previous gambling session ( the one where I won $90+ from a free bet on Wanted Dead or Wild by Hacksaw.  I happen to manage to increase the winning to $300+ (normally, I will withdraw this amount) but then I end up losing them all.   Cheesy



This isnone of my weakness until now that I really hate to myself. Sometimes I’m up with a 1000$ profit then when I do a small bet and lose that will make my final balance not a round number then I will keep chasing that small lose until I get it back but sometimes I loss all my balance just by chasing that small lose.

This is somehow normal reaction for a gambler since we feel get challenge when we see that our money starting to drop off and we try to chase our losses thinking that we can recover it. Although this is really not advisable to do but sometimes we lose control especially when we are still enjoy playing the game and don't want to end our game time yet.

If thia scenario occurs then maybe we should bounce back later since for sure we realize our mistake for enjoying to much on the game.
1697  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bad advice can still be gotten from forum. on: November 03, 2022, 11:01:20 AM
I haven't gotten any bad advice yet, but I think it is logical to still entertain the possibility that since the forum is a meeting place for people from different lifestyles to discuss, bad advice or problematic opinions can still be shared. It is important and advisable to also extra vet the information and advice you get on this forum before application.

To assist in your information or advice gathering process, whenever you start a topic of interest to you, or a topic is started that interests you, do well to follow through the topic by reading as much replies to it as you can, so you can compare people's opinions/advice for you. Where you say that a particularly opinion or advice is been given by many forum members in different ways, you can tell that that is a good advice. That is one method I use, which other methods can forum members use to determine the best opinion for a topic of concern?

Oh definitely- this forum contains people who experienced different results from different circumstances. Obviously, the advice given by some of the people are only applicable to certain scenarios and situations which cannot be applied as a a general rule.

You are right- newbies must be vigilant enough and responsible in following the advice given by some people. At the end of the day, the ultimate decision lies on these newbies, their call whether to follow it or not.

All will matter on their personal experiences and will not work if others will try to replicate it so best to get more ideas then just apply it since maybe you can learn something by combining the advices given. If there's no good result generated then much better if you learn from your own since nothing will beat totally to the experience you got compare to those people who over reacting on their advice given to the newbies.
1698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul VS Anderson Silva October 29th on: November 03, 2022, 09:34:34 AM
The unfortunate Anderson has not only continued to fight in the UFC in his relatively old age, he also continued fighting despite a series of losses. Poor legend. Not only that, after he ended his UFC career, he shifted to professional boxing losing 2 of his 5 fights and even faced a much younger opponent in Jake Paul.

Has he not made enough money in the UFC to stop fighting altogether and retire from sports for good? Possibly, we all know how Dana shares his profit even with his prized fighters and champions.
He's career will totally end here since its huge lose for him to get defeated by a youtuber. I don't expect to see him fight for another match because its like he's totally done after this huge defeat he encounter from Paul. We can say that this is really an unfortunate state for a called legend and he need to retire with that status since if he keep losing for an exhibition match for sure people will mock at him and ignore or forget his legendary status earned from UFC.
I don't think he was fighting for anything before this neither, these are all "I have a known name, let’s use that to make some money" type of fights for a long time now,  and he can still keep doing that for sure. I still think that there was something shady if you ask me, Jake is not as good of a boxer as people think he is, he has a good punch there is no denying that, and he does have a solid chin, but his accuracy and his defence is a joke, so anyone who knows about boxing would know that Silva should have taken him.

Very weird situation that Jake is still boxing at this point, I would have assumed he would be humiliated already, a youtuber turned boxer doesn't sound like it makes sense to me tbf, but he keeps on shocking the world, interesting.

Its kinda weird that Silva lose that fight and this is totally not a good sight to see especially he is legend so many fans expect that he will give good fight on this match. But looks like he caught off guard by Paul that's why he lose on this match.

Don't find it weird that Paul still participating on Boxing matches since for sure he always care about huge bucks that he can receive for just taking big matches.

Re: No social media is safe

No social media is safe.. because these types of scams are mostly spread through social media sites in the first place. And scammers will find more and more enticing ways to find victims; so the only real solution here is to think realistically and in a non-delusional manner.

"if it's too good to be true, it probably is."

Anything is not safe in cyberspace. Most scammers will target those high audiences like social media and other platforms since there are many people on it, and they can find the target easily. I can't imagine scammers nowadays exert a lot of effort like it is their job to scam you. They will spend time and a lot of flowering words to scam you, and still, some people are not made aware of this modus. When someone tries to ask you to invest in it, and your money will be back in a small period of time without any effort, then you should be cautious and have a background check on it.

One of few reasons why we need to put more detailed information on our social media handles since it can be a good indicator to them that you are a nice target. So better stay low key and always use social media as your means of communication so that you can avoid to get scam or getting any harm by people who always do crime using the modern tech nowadays.

Social media has advantages and disadvantages but in the world of crypto there are many scammers out there trying their best, working 24 hours in order to find a victims using social media platforms and we should be aware with this kind of people. And you are right this mate staying in low key has a low percentage to be scammed because the more you put an private information on public the more the high percentage of being scammed.

The advantage of it you use social media on business for sure you can spread out your products by just multiple posting it on different groups or in marketplace. But if you are posting to much information like flexing your status,where you are and wealth maybe this will lead you to danger so best to stay low key if you don't have running business using social media to avoid any harm.

And indeed this one is good to follow since we know that Elon is active on cryptocurrency so maybe he will bring up something cool on Web3 or other upcoming upgrades on cryptocurrency scene.
