I have seen and heard severally that loads of fraudulent acts are now aided through the use of virtual or digital currency but that is not to say that Bitcoin has bad tenets. People frankly use money for whatever they deem fit as long as it is unde their possession as their property. i personally don't see  the need for attaching bitcoin to things as these because the dollar is never metnioned in this context.

What are you speaking about? Repeatedly?
Most of the darknet uses bitcoin. The fact that bitcoin is used by drug dealers is said by all the media whenever possible. Judging by these statistics, "dirty" bitcoins are less than 5%, however, in the minds of ordinary people we can say that all bitcoins are "dirty".
184  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Ethereum Classic Second Attack $1.68M Out on: August 08, 2020, 09:37:38 PM
Ethereum Classic Attacker Successfully Double-Spends $1.68M in Second Attack

Ethereum Classic’s second 51% attack Thursday resulted in a massive reorganization of 4,236 blocks and successful double-spend of $1.68 million worth of cryptocurrency, according to an investigation by Bitquery.

The attacker tried to double-spend 465,444 ethereum classic (ETC), worth approximately $3.3 million, but only successfully double-spent 238,306 ETC, worth $1.68 million, according to the report.

An additional 14,200 ETC were also claimed by the attacker via block rewards during the event.
Bitquery found the hashpower required for the attack was probably bought from the same source as for the first attack: Nicehash DaggerHashimoto.

Thursday's attack is the second on the Ethereum Classic platform within five days. The first attack occurred on Aug. 1 and was originally thought to be the result of software complications.
Ethereum Classic Labs, the core development organization behind Ethereum Classic, announced Friday that it has retained law firm Kobre & Kim to investigate and pursue criminal charges against the perpetrators of
both 51% attacks, according to a press release shared with CoinDesk.

Guys. I made a deposit, after which I managed to put the funds for withdrawal, no wagering was required.

Guys, I confirm that after about 12 hours of delay, as Hhampuz said, the funds were withdrawn to my BTC wallet.



Thanks again for the great opportunity Hhampuz, you are the best!

But nevertheless, I received an email of the following character:



I asked about the reasons for the delay and am waiting for an answer. Perhaps you should wait until the situation with deposits becomes clear.

As soon as I have more information, I will report here.

187  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Jon Prosser’s YouTube Channel Hacked on: August 06, 2020, 07:43:28 AM
Bitcoin Scammers Rebrand Jon Prosser’s YouTube Channel as ‘NASA’

YouTube took down Jon Prosser’s channel with 262K subscribers after hackers used it to promote a free Bitcoin giveaway scam.
Scammers have conned more YouTube viewers into sending them Bitcoin after hacking several more large verified accounts and posting ‘free giveaway’ videos.

According to an Aug. 5 tweet posted by Jon Prosser, his Front Page Tech YouTube channel with 262,000 subscribers was hacked by bad actors who changed the name to “NASA [news]” and began live streaming a fake Bitcoin (BTC) giveaway video featuring SpaceX’s Elon Musk.

“Hackers have made $4,000 in Bitcoin so far,” said Prosser. “YouTube tells me I need to fill out a form and wait ‘a few weeks.’”
Seven years’ worth of Front Page Tech’s videos were deleted by the scammers. YouTube took the channel down roughly two hours after Prosser first noticed the breach, and it remains offline.

188  Other / Politics & Society / Russian Voters’ Data on Sale After Blockchain Poll on: August 04, 2020, 06:21:58 PM
Hackers are reportedly selling the personal data of over a million Russians who voted electronically, using blockchain technology, during the recent constitutional amendment process.

Over 1.1 million data points were stolen and put on sale for $1.50 each on the online forums, the Russian newspaper Kommersant wrote. The data, consisting exclusively of passport numbers, has little value on its own, the anonymous sellers admitted to Kommersant. But such data can be used for phishing attacks when combined with information from other leaked databases.

Moscow’s Department of Information Technologies, which is responsible for the design of the voting system, denied the report in an email to CoinDesk.

“The department is regularly monitoring the internet for publications of such data, including the darknet. The database mentioned in the publication has nothing to do with the list of voters who registered to vote online,” the department’s press office wrote, adding that the information on the Moscow city hall’s servers was properly protected and “there had been no leaks since the beginning of 2020.”



Remarkable is the fact that the database was available for purchase in early July, but the Moscow government denied this. However, as a result, the database appeared in the public domain.

189  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Opera expands the possibilities of buying cryptocurrencies on: August 03, 2020, 10:59:24 PM
Opera is one browser that is integrating Crytocurrencies into their platform, even better than what brave is doing, it is the first browser to integrate crypto wallet into its platform, this is very good for the growth of the space and I think more and more browser and going to jump on this because Crypto is the next big thing

If we believe the statements of the Opera, then about 170,000 people use their built-in wallet every month, which is quite a large figure for a wallet built into a browser.
But it is a rather small figure in relation to the total number of their users, which is about 55 million.

Ethereum Classic Blockchain Splits Due to Reorg by a Single Miner

On August 1, several figures associated with Ethereum Classic (ETC) took to Twitter to inform the community of issues with the ETC blockchain. Among the first was Ethereum Foundation member Hudson Jameson who stated that: “Exchanges need to pause deposits and withdrawals.”

The official Twitter page of ETC and James Wo, founder of Ethereum Classic Labs, both confirmed the issue. A Diagnosis report was soon released to explain what happened. Although the offending miner was identified, it was not clear if it was a deliberate attack on the network.

192  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / More than 50% of bitcoins from Twitter hack have been sent through mixers on: July 31, 2020, 03:37:08 PM
The bitcoin mixers — ChipMixer and Wasabi Wallet — have received 56.5% of the 30.4 stolen bitcoins, i.e. 17.18 bitcoins (currently worth about $192,000), according to Elliptic.
The Twitter hack took place on July 15, and at the time, the bitcoins were worth about $121,000. The price of bitcoin has risen in recent days.

Elliptic said it tracked the bitcoin through its transaction screening tool and found that the hackers have sought to launder the funds gradually.
Bitcoin mixers mask the blockchain transaction trail, making it challenging to follow funds and to know where the funds are spent or cashed out.

193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how to win at casino on: July 31, 2020, 10:32:50 AM
After looking at the topic, I realized that no one is going to share their flawless strategy for playing against the casino. And I was hoping that I would already become a millionaire.  Sad
I wondered how much a winning strategy against a casino could cost, probably a lot. But it is important to consider the risks that you take when you come to the casino with this strategy. You can be blacklisted right away from the very first day.   Cheesy

They can share their strategy when the strategy is not used for them anymore. They will use another strategy that can help them win, and they will keep it for themselves. But perhaps, there is a gambler who shares the strategy, but we need to modify the strategy to work. If you have luck, I don't think that will cost you much money to beat the casino, but I guess that won't be easy because luck is one thing that we don't know when it's coming. People will try more and more to beat the casino, and we don't know how much money they will spend to beat the casino.

That's it. Not just share, but sell it. Any monetary strategy enters the market only when it becomes useless, but is presented as a "money button".
It is not difficult to beat a casino if you know how it works from the inside. There are several ways to find out. For example, get a job there as a croupier, as did many scammers of the past.
Or, find someone who already works there and find out from him what is more difficult.
194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should there be any age limit of Gambling? on: July 31, 2020, 10:26:17 AM
But if I had to legislate an age I would say 23 years old man and 18 years old women. There is a scientific study that determined that men make better decisions after 23 years, they are even more responsible

I can't say that I disagree with these ages

But it still looks ironic that you can't drink legally in the States until you are 21 years old. However, you are eligible to join the US military when you are only 17 years old. Where's the irony here, you may ask? The irony is that you can technically start killing people when you are just 17 but you can't consume until you turn 21

This is the classic layout for all armies. The younger guys will be in the army, the easier it is to manage them, the more aggressive they will be, the less they will be afraid of death, which means they will be more reckless in battle.
Ideally, a teenager would never have sex, then his psyche is weak enough to withstand external influences, and the value of life is greatly underestimated. The irony is that there is deception and double standards everywhere. Army or casino doesn't matter.

On this day 30 july in 2015, the main network of one of the most beloved cryptocurrencies, Ethereum, was launched.
Congratulations to everyone who has supported and developed the project all these years!

Few metrics for 5 years from cointelegraph.com :


                    Comparing the total number of addresses after n days for both Bitcoin and Ethereum.
         


                  Total number of addresses in the first five years of existence Ethereum versus Bitcoin.


Btw Ethereum's white paper was released in 2013 by Vitalik Buterin.

reapply

I really don't think you should apply this way.

Less than a day has passed since your first application, and the decisions on the members admitted to the company have not yet been made.

The number of applications will definitely not increase your chances, but rather the opposite, because it can be regarded as spam.
198  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Liquid exchange token delisting on: July 30, 2020, 11:42:39 AM
Yeah Liquid just delisting a lot of tokens, but there's still a probability to be listed again, "Some of these tokens are undergoing talks with  regulators and maybe relisted in the near future". I also received an email that telling me they have reviewed the documents I've submitted, but unfortunately they are unable to approve my account due to some reasons. But overall it's a good thing that their exchange will be licensed in Singapore.

In any case, we must consider any such event in terms of its further impact on the development of cryptocurrencies.
The higher the level of "legality" of cryptocurrencies, the more exchanges of countries will officially use exchanges, the higher will be the public confidence in cryptocurrencies and the wider the mass adoption will be.
Delisting is small pay for it. Subsequently, the entire market will gain much more.
199  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ledger 1 Mln Users Data Under Attack on: July 30, 2020, 11:13:35 AM
That's specifically what the leaked information would be used for. Given the sensitive information being leaked, attackers could potentially use the information to craft a more personalised phishing emails for the victims. Even if it isn't, the sensitive information could also be used in SE attacks against companies.

Phishing is phishing, whether targeted or spontaneous.
You can fall for phishing only through your own fault, no matter how clever it is. We have all the tools to check any link or any information that comes to your email.


Fortunately, the data breach is not that severe, only impacting their merchant information. At the same time, I don't think its necessary for Ledger (or any other hardware wallet manufacturer) to keep sensitive information of their customers for long periods of times. I would have expected information to be scrubbed regularly.

Logically yes, but in practice we don't know what Ledger does with our data. Some of the employees may sell the database, or the company's shadow policy itself may correspond to this.
We cannot know this, so it is useful to assume such things. Too many companies sell their customer data to others.

If you read the information about each individual bitcoin, you would probably understand that behind each individual coin there is a certain project, with a certain idea.
Not all of these projects have been implemented to the required extent, however, due to the specifics of the crypto market, all coins are financial instruments, while the functionality of the projects itself may be outside the financial framework. But such is the market now as it is. Coins can be equated to some extent with the shares of the project.
All of the above is related to non-scam projects.
