Just be hovering your mouse over the skull containing the TOR link, you will se the onion domain at the bottom left of your browser. Those who know what it is will understand how to open it.

More emphasize should be put in mixing through TOR as it's a privacy boost compared to mixing via the clearnet. Ultimately, it's Sinbad's decision to decide what they feel is the best for their business model.

Mistakes can happen, and since it doesn't cost anything to create a brand-new wallet only for mixed coins to separate it from the unmixed ones, I think it's better to do that.

I am looking at the new signatures and can't help to feel that more emphasize could be given to the onion link instead of the clearnet version of Sinbad. Only the part on the far left with the skull contains the TOR link, while everything else has the clearnet link. As a compromise, perhaps the far right box (MIX NOW) could also point to the onion link. That way we would have the ends of the sig pointing to the onion link, while the center of the sig contains the clearnet link.

This is a different type of clipboard malware that essentially works like any other versions. You copy an address and when you paste it, it gets replaced with one that belongs to the scammers. This should be easy to spot if you are careful and pay attention to where you send your coins.

There is always a source where you copied the address from.
If someone send you the address, compare the one you have pasted into your wallet to the one in the source.
If you are sending to yourself, check and compare with your own wallet.
If you are using a hardware wallet, the address will be displayed on the hardware wallet screen.

Careful individuals shouldn't become victims of clipboard malware. The virus can't replace the address in the source, so always compare to that and stay vigilant.

Such a competition among friends isn't necessarily a bad thing if it eventually leads to more people adopting bitcoin and understanding the benefits it gives them. If can become unhealthy if you make dangerous financial decisions just to win and do better than your friends. Challenging your peers is completely fine. If you grew up with a brother or sister, you will remember that you always competed against each other, regardless if it was attention, who was faster, who was stronger, who did better in school, etc. etc.

You should have deleted the PM your received as soon as you read it without clicking on any links to check what it's about. That alone can be dangerous and result in downloading something to your device. People need to change their mindset where they believe someone contacted them to help them with something and make their lives better. That's not going to happen. They are looking for easy victims in one way or the other. As soon as you get a DM with an unknown person saying 'Hi', delete it.

I agree with JeromeTash here. To avoid possible connections between mixed and unmixed coins in the future, it's better to separate them altogether by having two different wallets (not two addresses as part of the same wallet). But let me ask you this: after you have mixed your coins and decoupled their history, do you have plans to send these coins back to Coinbase in the future? Because if you do, we might be going back to the question will Coinbase ask questions why your coins are connected with mixing services, where they come from, etc.

To be honest OP, this is a very confusing thread you have started.

Looking at the subject and before opening the topic, I thought it would be about you being happy for receiving 50 merits and expressing your joy. Turns out it's about you offering to review other user's posts who need merits to rank up and giving it to them if you like what was written. 

This program isn't about empowering youths or making them knowledgeable, strong, independent, or anything similar. It's a marketing plot to advertise Bitget and it's services. And I dare to say, a cheap one. They are looking for people from specific countries, mostly poor countries.

 
If you are chosen, this is what you will be doing:


Additionally, there is this:

It's marketing for Bitget and helping the exchange get more customers in specific territories. Everything else is of secondary or no importance.

It's not like bitcoin launched a never before seen crimewave once it was introduced more than a decade ago. Criminals and fraudsters always had ways to make money, bitcoin offers a new and perhaps easier way to do that. Semi-anonymity that could even be complete anonymity if used with the right tools or in connection with privacy coins. Of course it's going to be appealing for criminals and hackers to use something like that. But every nasty thing bitcoin is used for today, cash, gold, precious stones, etc. were used for in the past.   

ChipMixer didn't commit fraud nor did they cheat their customers. It was a mixing service that got shutdown and taken offline by the FBI and Interpol. Their service worked exactly as advertised. It allowed anyone to mix their coins: you, me, or hardcore fraudsters. It's partially because it was used to wipe the history from the coins that came from malicious activities that it was taken down. The bigger reason is that no government in the world want you to be private or free.

Did Coinbase send the withdrawal to Sinbad's address? If the transaction went through, you should be OK. But for your own safety, don't do this in the future. Some centralized exchanges don't like funds being connected to services like mixers, coinjoins, or online casinos. They can freeze funds, ask for reasons you are using such services, source of your funds, etc. That's why it's recommended to use your own private and non-custodial wallet where you aren't being restricted or monitored. Better yet, don't use services that limit the ways you want to use bitcoin.

This is my personal opinion on these cases. A temporarily banned account should have the same restrictions as a permanently banned account with the only difference being that the temporarily banned person will one day return to the forum. Like you said, be it in one day or a few months. But during the temp ban, the user shouldn't have the possibility to post, send PMs, or distribute merits. All restrictions are removed once the account is fully reinstated.

My personal opinion again. I think it should be possible. The punishment of that person is not being able to earn money from their signature space. Everything else should work the same as with other regular members.

I agree with this, but this is different from what I was talking about. It's ok to rightly tag someone with red paint if that someone is a proven scammer as a warning to other members.

I was talking about actual cases where two users traded physical/digital goods. If I was part of such a trade with you, and I was satisfied, I would let those feelings be known using the feedback system, regardless what your other ratings say. It works the other way as well. You could have 50 positive trades, I am still going to leave you a negative if you scam me and don't fulfill your part of our agreement without thinking what the community will think of me.

Pa ne možeš jer se te novčanice više ne koriste a ljudima pretpostavljam mrsko da idu da ih mijenjaju za nove. A možda vam i ne vjeruju.

Naravno da toga ima i bit će još više. Ali i dalje je cash rado viđen na mnogim mjestima za razliku od kripta. Uporedi samo koliko ima trgovina da ne primaju cash u poređenju sa onima koje primaju kripto i dobit ćeš poprilično razočaravajuće rezultate.

Od Britanaca ne očekujem prevelik otpor kad dođe vrijeme da se riješe papirnog novca. Mislim da će npr sa Njemcima i Francuzima to ići teže.

I am guessing they offer some sort of instant swaps like many other wallets that have built-in exchanges. Instant exchanges are custodial. Some services like ChangeNOW like to falsely claim they are non-custodial or "free of custody" as they say. They are not. You need to deposit your coins into their addresses, and they hold the keys. Not only that, but your crypto could get frozen, and you could be asked to undergo KYC, explain the source of funds, explain how you got them, etc., etc. If we were talking about non-custodial services, you could then recover your coins, show them the middle-finger, and go elsewhere. But you can't. 

Bitcoin je univerzalan i nema takva ograničenja. Jednako se može trošiti (ako za to postoji interes) i tamo gdje se primaju euri, dolari i druge valute. I ako ljudi bitcoin smatraju validnom alternativom, onda će morati postojati sistem gdje ga mogu bez problema trošiti u njegovoj orginalnoj formi bez konverzija u nešto drugo. Ako se za to nikad ne steknu uslovi, onda ne možemo govoriti o alternativnoj valuti koja bi trebala da bude konkurencija bilo kojoj fiat valuti.

Nemam ništa protiv zarađivanja BTC-a i njegovog trošenja konverzijom u fiat niti smatram da Trofo tu nešto pogrešno radi. Samo hoću da razjasnimo da to nije to. Tvoje trošenje BTC-a onda zavisi od toga hoće li ti mjenačnica otkupiti te coine ili da li će Paycek biti dostupan sutra. S novcem u džepu još ti niko (još) neće reči žao nam je, mi to ne primamo. Osim ako nisi u Švedskoj gdje je sve digitalizirano već. 

Trust feedback is supposed to show your experience dealing with a person. It shouldn't match what others say and feel about that person. So, if you had a good trade with someone or did some business with them that you feel like sharing, the feedback system is the place to do that. The same is true if your experience was negative. Hhampuz has every right to post a about his positive experience the same way those who believe they were harmed can post about their negative experience. A big mistake people do before leaving feedback is checking who else has posted and what. If it's mostly negative, I am not going to say anything positive and vice versa. That's wrong. It's your experience that matters, regardless what the community thinks of it. 


I don't know how the support looked like the day you created this thread, but "everyone" supporting the flags is simply wrong. They currently have only BitcoinGirl.Club from the DT club that supports them together with a few non-DT members. Regarding Hhampuz's opposition of the flag. If he read and looked at the evidence and didn't agree Rollbit did anything wrong, he is correct by opposing the flag. If he opposed it just based on his previous positive encounters with the casino and its personnel without even looking at the evidence presented, I think he is in the wrong.   

I know, and I remember that case. If you look back at my earlier post, I didn't say that it can't be done. I said that the earned merits shouldn't be reverted back to the senders or taken away completely. Obviously, cases of abuse are something entirely different, like the situation with the merit source who was abusing the system. In all other cases where a person gets banned or disappears of the forum, no one should be touching their merits.

Jako, jako teško. Jer ako ćemo biti 100% precizni, i korištenje kripto kartica i payment processor-a je gotovo uvijek izlaženje iz kripta i vračanje u tradiocionalne fiat okvire. Platni procesori uzmu tvoj kripto, konvertuju ga u fiat i taj fiat isplate primaocu. Ali nećemo cjepidlačiti. Ti si taj kripto potrošio i platio s njim a koja mu je dalja sudbina nije više tvoja briga.   

We need to distinguish Merits and sMerits. The merits you earned should never be taken away from you, regardless of your account status (banned/not banned). Your question is about the sendable merits. Could they be extracted? Yes, but there is no point in doing it.

Quality posters with plenty of merits to give or merit sources usually know the rules and don't get banned. But even if they did and they had thousands of sMerits left, theymos can just pick other people to become merit sources. Or he could increase the supply to make up for those lost 5k of sMerits. You will rarely see a highly valuable member get banned here, whose lost sMerits are felt by the forum as a whole.
