I don't know, it is sent to the user's email after creating a wallet, only if the user input an email for the recovery purpose[1]
This seems to be an old recovery feature that you could use to regain access to your Exodus wallet if you installed the software on a different computer, for example, or if it stopped working on your current one. But if you have your seed, the email recovery feature isn't needed. They don't mention that you need a wallet file for successful recovery, which makes me think that Exodus was once a custodial service. 
1942  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Zivjeti sa Bitcoinom i bjeg od inflatornog fiata on: August 04, 2023, 04:20:12 PM
<Snip>
Živjeti sa Bitcoinom ili od Bitcoina meni znaći trošiti taj BTC za svakodnevne potrebe što ti ne radiš. Ti zamjeniš svoj bitcoin u eure i onda koristiš fiat. Plačaš fiatom a prodaješ i izlaziš iz BTC-a. Živjeti isključivo od trošenja BTCa je skoro pa nemoguće kod nas. U državama poput SAD-a i Amerike je to malo lakše. Kad budeš mogao zarađeni BTC trošiti za svaku kupovinu, plačati račune i porez bez problema, to onda već liči na nešto drugo.

Prošle godine sam pisao u jednoj temi o tome i spomenuo iskustvo jednog Kanadskog Youtubera.
Have you ever tried to live only on Bitcoin?

Ako cuvas fiat ti gubis 5-6% kupovne moci godisnje ,tolika je sluzbena inflacija
Inflacija u svakom trenutku moze da izmakne kontroli i da se udje u hiperinflaciju ili galopirajucu gde preko noci gubis sve
Bitcoin je  tvrdja valuta nego fiat kao zlato ali u digitalnom obliku
Ono sto je vazno jest dugorocni trend, Kao i kod zlata rast Bitcoina upucuje na stabilan i odrziv rast.Ne treba panicariti ako dodje do tih velikih korekcija cijene.
Ne pomaže uvijek gledati dugoročno. Ti kažeš da gubiš 5-6% kupovne moći godišnje. Ok, tačno. Ali bitcoin te gubitke može da napravi za dan a u mjesecu da izgubiš 20% kupovne moći. Naravno, može i da ti se kupovna moć poveča u istom omjeru. AKo su moja primanja u BTC-u i živim od njega, šta mi znaći što će za godinu, dvije ili pet to vrijediti mnogo više. Ja danas treba da jedem, platim račune i dam državi šta mi traži. Imati kupovnu moć 20% manju 30-og u mjesecu u odnosu na onu koju sam imao 30-og u prošlom mjesecu je veliki gubitak.

The second one looks better, sharper, and is more modern. But considering the old-school retro look of Sinbad's new website, I feel like the first one is a better fit.

<Snip>
No issues with the design itself, but the colors don't match the blue and purple look of Sinbad. Maybe a color edit with the new style might be better.

Moreover, any information from your side about how your retirement bonus became 100% high risk crypto will be most welcomed and would help much the investigation process.
What does that mean? In what way are the coins "high risk"? What are the requirements for coins to be considered high risk, and who decides this? Please open your wallet and take out your dollar bills, then arrange them on the table according to their risk history and teach us how you did it!

However, they then demanded details of all the parties using my wallet. How could I possibly provide this? What if these parties are dead?
Do those details include the same type of ID and address verification data they asked from you? That is indeed a ridiculous requirement, and who in their right mind would give that information to someone over the internet? It's not your job to collect KYC data of those who send you BTC or ask them to send it to PST.net. 

You're fully aware that cryptocurrency operates without central authority.
It does if you use it properly. If you send it to someone like PST.net, you start playing by their rules and TOS they created.

I relay the most on trustwallet.
Your choice of wallet isn't much better either. If you are using it as a multicoin mobile wallet, then ok. You don't really have many good alternatives. If you store bitcoins in it, then you could do much better.

It is used as an email backup for recovery purposes. Using a non-custodial open source wallet is the most recommended one. No email required, no need to rely on the company/developers knowledge for recovery/installation, just your secured device for it to install and use.
Do you know this for a fact or is it an educated guess? Exodus is a closed-source wallet but it's non-custodial. You control your keys, so what kind of sensitive information would they be storing and sending via email for recovery?

And the other thing at the end of this message is that they say that they can block the account of users who avoided doing what they sent them and seize all their funds. Exodus cannot, and nobody can't do this because Exodus Wallet does not store personal information, and any user has full control over his wallet and its security. "Your keys, your crypto"
In theory, yes, they shouldn't have any way to do that. But like with any other closed-source wallet, no one but the developers know.

As logfiles mentioned, submit an official complaint with a 3rd party mediator if you believe you have a valid case. Opening multiple threads about the same issue isn't going to solve anything. Tagging Cyrus or theymos in your posts isn't going to help either. If you read the forum rules, you would see that scams on Bitcointalk aren't moderated by the admins. Asking them to ban or delete something due to what you believe is a scam won't work and nothing is going to be done about it.

What documentation did they ask you to provide but you didn't do it? One of the screenshots mentions that. Is it the information about the business partners that have made deposits to your address?

It unfortunately does look like a scam. File a police report and report them.
Even though your explanation of wanting to protect your privacy and providing a fake name makes sense, you have to realize that it doesn't look good if you register with one name and then undergo KYC with a completely different one. In the future, you should avoid doing that. It's better to stay clear of services that will ask you to verify your identity for your own safety. And if you use them, sign up with your own information to avoid issues.

Srećom mi je to postalo sumnjivo na vrijeme pa sam izvukao lovu od tamo, a u BitLucky nisam ni ulazio. Zapravo sam i htio ali to je valjda bilo vrijeme kad su bili bahati pa su me lagano odje*ali da s "malima" ne žele imati posla.
Sreća tvoja da si bio mala ribica za njih. Neću pitati za iznose jer nekom je malo puno, a puno malo tako da nema smisla. Sjećam se da je bilo priče o ovoj grupi trejdera u prošlosti i da su ih ljudi hvalili za dobre rezultate. Siguran sam i da ima ljudi sa našeg lokala koji su im dali coine i sad ih nažalost izgubili.
1949  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: The story of Betnomi.com (Exit Scam) on: August 03, 2023, 08:16:07 AM
Some forum members have confirmed that they have started receiving suspicious and spam messages from unknown websites on the email address which they used on Betnomi.
I can confirm the same thing. I have several emails from some CrashOut site on the email I registered my Betnomi account with. The subjects mention welcome bonuses, free money bonuses, and free spins. I never signed up on or ever visited that site. Betnomi could have suffered a hack or a data leak which could explain all this.

A forum member has highlighted that Betnomi team has deleted their Linkedin public page.
That doesn't look good. But a valid question would be why delete their Linkedin page and not do the same for Twitter, Instagram, and Telegram? There hasn't been any activity on social media from their side since May.
1950  Economy / Gambling / Re: [Table] Withdrawal Fees and Withdrawal Amounts on Crypto Casinos on: August 03, 2023, 07:53:38 AM
Somehow I missed to see your post yesterday night.

BTW, you used wrong withdrawal amount image command for Crashino. Their minimum withdrawal amount is equivalent to 50 USD now. But you have used the exchange command of €15.
Good eye, but you are partially right about this. I used the wrong image command for Crashino. However, their minimum withdrawal amount is not $50, it's €50. I changed it now.

Is there any reason to use comma (,) between the USD/EURO withdrawal amount and approximately symbol?
Not really. I just felt like there should be kind of a pause between the two.

Why have you still kept Betnomi on the list? I have created a scam accusation against Betnomi by describing the recent and old issues of them.
Your scam accusation is one day old. I haven't yet seen it. I will check it out now. Betnomi has been unavailable for some time now and no one knows what is going on. The positive thing is (if we can call it that) that no one can sign up and/or deposit funds in new addresses. The negative thing is that many people are waiting for their money and their silence is starting to look bad. Let's see how it will pan out.
1951  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Had 165k ETH stolen last night. on: August 02, 2023, 09:35:28 PM
The little research I did on that Rewind.io app says that it can remember and view everything you have seen, written, or said on your device. This information can cause massive problems in the wrong hands. Another source I found says that the backups aren't "fully" encrypted, and there exists a possibility of stealing someone's data. I have no idea what they consider as "fully encrypted". It either is or isn't. The encryption could be weak or strong, not sure what fully or semi encrypted is supposed to mean. Some data is encrypted while the rest isn't? Who knows.


So Rewind.io was installed on your Mac after your Metamask wallet. The wallet is older. Did you make any outgoing transactions from your wallet during the time that Rewind.io was installed? More precisely, did you make any outgoing transactions prior to the 26 ETH one that you moved to Kraken?
1952  Economy / Gambling / Re: [Table] Withdrawal Fees and Withdrawal Amounts on Crypto Casinos on: August 02, 2023, 08:23:20 PM
Not to shit on anyone's favorite casinos but why the heck is FortuneJack demanding users to withdraw at least 150 bucks?
More chances to lose your money chasing the minimum to request a withdrawal. Wink

What about the signature campaign members? I've heard good things about them and for one they have one of the longest running campaigns in this forum but that seriously concerned me lol cause they issue the highest minimum withdrawal limits out of every gambling site out there.
FortuneJack has had different campaigns that have started and finished several times throughout the last couple of years. I don't know how long the latest one has been running. I was a participant of one of their older and maybe the longest one they had. There were never any issues with withdrawals, and we could withdraw our earnings after each week.
1953  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Had 165k ETH stolen last night. on: August 02, 2023, 08:15:28 AM
<Snip>
Maybe your keys leaked with the 26 ETH transaction that you made from Metamask to your Kraken account. After that, someone got the secrets that they needed to steal the remaining coins. I don't know how, though.

What about your partner that you said lives with you. Does she use your computer? It doesn't have to be that she stole from you, maybe she used some fake app. Does she play games or use some dubious apps and permissions over social media?
1954  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Jason Lowery's Twitter account hacked on: August 02, 2023, 08:01:44 AM
Well, this is new. What happened to the gold old days where we were supposed to get 100% back compared to the amounts we deposited? Tongue
Scammers nowadays are only giving 0.05 BTC extra.

checked the address, looks like no one has fallen for the scam yet. though there is one transaction that has been made where the address received BTC‎0.0005 the same day the scam post was made, but, I'll assume it is just a decoy from the scammers.
It would only be a good decoy if another address deposited an amount and then received the extra bitcoins back as explained in the tweet. I didn't check if that is the case here.

About my wallet safety: I've been vigilant with my wallet, private keys, and funds. With 'Rewind' on my MacBook, I've been able to track all actions. The only notable event was connecting to MetaWin Dapp via Metamask. My private key or secret seed phrase was not stored on my device, adding to the mystification of this event.
When did you connect your wallet to this MetaWin application? Was it sometimes in the days leading to the hack or long time before that? You could check their social media and official website to see if there are any reports of hacks or vulnerabilities on their side. Regarding your private keys and seeds not being on the device. You are using MetaMask, right? That's a hot (browser) wallet that holds the necessary signing keys, otherwise you wouldn't be able to sign and broadcast transactions.

I can imagine someone who never used another exchange falling for this quite easily as they simply have no point of reference nor do they know how exchanges work.
Fair enough. But it still doesn't answer the question how they find these sites and why they look in the wrong places. A simple search for 'best crypto exchange' or something could perhaps lead them to a CEX no one here likes, but at least it's not a scam site like the one mentioned in OP.

If you are new in town and want to ask for directions, who are you going to ask? The group of 10 drunk skinhead guys playing with knifes and urinating publicly, or the nice couple sipping a coffee on the opposite street? Newbies approach the skinheads for some reason, not knowing/smelling the danger. I hope you understand my point.

Influencers are prostitutes minus the sex part. Why anyone would take them and their predictions and recommendations seriously is beyond me. Besides being a shiller, this dude also created a scam project that people invested in surely without even knowing why. It's sad that people don't know any better, and that things like this will continue for many years to come. Internet and crypto is a dangerous mix for the stupid and the naďve with access to money. Those smarter than them will find ways to exploit that stupidity.   
1958  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Had 165k ETH stolen last night. on: July 31, 2023, 06:36:32 PM
Sorry for your loss. So after reading the story I realized that someone targeted you because he didn't transfer the funds even after looking into your $7k wallet. He knew that you have a large amount of funds and that you will use this wallet again to make transactions.
It's quite possible. Sometimes it's those closest to us that we forget to look into or don't suspect initially. I would like to ask OP who else close to him/her has access to the computer/phone they were using? Who knew about the money they had and were expecting to receive in the wallet that got emptied?

It is also possible that your computer was already under the control of the hacker, so that he could see all your activities.
I think that if the hacker had prior access to the wallet, he would have emptied it when he saw the $7k in it. Unless, of course, the person knew it's only a matter of time before something more vulnerable gets deposited there. The question OP needs to ask themselves is how could they have known, and who knew of the upcoming transaction?

A gle... Koliko je meni poznato, niti jedan investicijski fond neće reći u što točno i koliko ulažu. Oni samo napišu općenito u kakvu imovinu ulažu i koliki postotak ide na određenu vrstu imovine. Ne znam kakav je slučaj bio s BitLucky, ovo govorim općenito.
Prićamo o kriptu pa je to malo drugčije. Ne očekujem da kada su trade-ovi otvoreni, kada ulažu i pripremaju buduća ulganja kažu tačno gdje novac ide i koliko. Ali sad kada nema ništa novca, nek objasne investitorima kako je do toga došlo. Ako sam vam dao $10.000 da trgujete a vi ste to radili navodno profesionalno, kako ste mogli sve izgubiti da ne ostane ništa!?

How did she even found out about them? Was it some "friend" recommending her, or it was Google ads?
I ask myself the same question almost every time I see someone get scammed by something this obvious. Where do they find such bullshit scam sites and not notice anything wrong? Talking to support to get a deposit address to deposit should have been enough to raise some alarms. Obviously, it wasn't. And it's often people with money that get hit hard. If the story is true, she had $10.000 to waste but no time to make even the most basic of research to find 50 other exchanges where this wouldn't have happened. And then she considered borrowing an additional $5k they asked to "allow" her to withdraw the funds. Amazing.
