201  Other / Beginners & Help / Don't lose your bitcoin on: June 18, 2019, 06:16:49 PM
I was in a bus with a friend of mine and he was telling how he lost some bitcoin trading it with some people he found on social media platform(instagram to be precise) and just like this guy many people are being defrauded by this type of people


This type of criminals claims to trading in various sectors from selling and buying of bitcoin to also trading Giftcards and iTunes card many of them don't even give there customers an avenue to involve an escrow.

There adverts can be gotten every where showing altered or stolen transcation they claimed to have completed in the past just to entice prospective victims



And even the few once that are sincere still try to get a huge chunk from the percentage they collect from trading with anyone.
Your chances of falling into the wrong hands as a newbie when trading in bitcoin is high so it better to do things in a more transparent way but just to let you know there is no completely safe way.
I would advice to sell or buy your bitcoin from exchanges. There are good exchanges out there do your research and ask questions where necessary then select an exchange register(oblige kyc if asked) keep your details and information safe then this would become yours and you can trade your bitcoin at fast rate and lower transcation fees most of this self acclaimed buyers and sellers of bitcoin do have there exchanges where they trade your bitcoin and then charge you for it.

I am no poet or professor but the first freedom anyone has to first attain is freedom from self imposed restrictions. People are so quick to put every of there problem on the government(although some government are notorious for the wrong reasons) still we have to break out and free our self from fear, insecurity, relying on others.
203  Other / Serious discussion / Re: <IDEA> How to protect a blockchain from terminal attacks on: June 17, 2019, 07:37:14 PM

We thought, how can we help other blockchains to be protected from terminal attacks today (without forks, encryption changes etc)? This is kind of attack that destroys the network. This is the solution we came up with: persistent mirror copying of operating blockchains with quantum safe encryption to an external protocol (to Cellframe) to protect it from any kind of terminal attacks and provide secured backup.

This idea is not quite unique or original just a simple browsing of the web can show you it's been discussed and worked on.

Also wondering what the motivation behind this move is, theymos? One step closer to eliminating signature campaigns?  Cheesy
I wouldn't conclude yet if the forum wanted to end it they would not start by reducing the limit.

Probably it's too maintain a sizeable signature. Alot of reasons can ignite this change but not elimination of signature campaign

207  Other / Meta / Re: Happy birthday, theymos! on: June 15, 2019, 10:03:02 AM
There shouldn't be any debating on one's age. He says he is 28 then that is what he should be regarded as until proven otherwise beside you don't learn how to manage or build up an organization, institution or forum at an age above 30. it's has to be in you and developed on.

Wishing him a happy birthday and more successful administration years

209  Other / Meta / Re: A simple suggestion (comments of the OP on their thread should appear above) on: June 12, 2019, 03:40:26 PM

Now if the OP wants to emphasize or summarize some of the answers or contributions he received on the thread, he could always edit the OP and add them there (quoted for example), whilst giving them the necessary context there.

This is a great point to the  whole problem I was in a deep thought about the values the suggestion can impact the forum I missed this. I appreciate every comment made here. Guess the thread would be locked now
210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Royal ramble in the casino on: June 12, 2019, 01:56:21 PM
Such things do happen to players that put in more than they can afford to loose which is crazy.
I have witness such but this time it was in a sport betting shop where a customer was playing virtual games and had a problem with the works for not staking his game in time and that particular game played accordingly coupledywith the numerous loss prior to that moment.
But I think that why places like that a secured and protected by teams of security personnel
211  Economy / Gambling / Re: BitBet.pro - Advanced P2P cryptocurrency price movement betting platform | Bonus on: June 12, 2019, 01:48:30 PM
Am not actually impressed with the platform or the idea and I would not be surprised if many are also not impressed as well. This is a weird form of betting and the chances of winning is also weird but I could be wrong or also misinterpreting the whole thing.
I would keep a close eye on the project hopefully I would see the idea more clearly sooner or later
212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin or coins you never gained money with? on: June 12, 2019, 01:37:47 PM
Am still yet to make gains from altcoins to be honest altcoins have never been part of my fantasy in the cryptocurrency market but i would use other people's testimony I know few people that capitalized on xrp ripple, neo and ethereum but they at a point still switched and traded there altcoins into bitcoin.
But am still opened to the chances of exploring the altcoins
213  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We should Unit against Scam Project As a Crypto Community?? on: June 12, 2019, 01:28:55 PM
Scammers are already part of our cryptocurrency community there is a saying that "a criminal is a saint until he is giving the opportunity" so the only support we can give ourselves is knowing what's real and authentic and what's a scam. Learn from scam events of the past but up  an inquisitive character
214  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is Blockchain the solution to the whole abortion drama? on: June 12, 2019, 01:21:19 PM
I don't support the taking of a life no matter the means or condition that lead to it. But putting a rule and regulations against would not solve the problem. Erecting counseling platforms most times abortions are done by youth so we should try to reach out to them logically like there parent and inform them about the negativity about abortion and also encourage them, show them love and the would learn how to love there unborn children
215  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Thread in the form of diaries series... allowed? on: June 12, 2019, 01:10:09 PM
I don't think it would be considered going against the rule of its constructive and educative. There has been post that comes in series but there are mostly analysis but I would be interested in your post just that the board you are intending to post it is well renowned for spam and low quality post
216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons Crypto Players Skip Casinos with KYC on: June 12, 2019, 11:27:24 AM
Individual has there different reason for avoiding casino or any other gambling site which requires know your customer process.
Some might be for
1. Security reasons: you can never tell what they do with those details you provide to them so this makes people scared.
2. Stringent process: so know your customer process are just too tasking and time wasting

3. Evil intentions: so customers with bad intentions would not want to be identified so they avoid those type of casino

218  Other / Meta / A simple suggestion (comments of the OP on their thread should appear above) on: June 12, 2019, 09:42:22 AM
 When ever someone starts a new thread not with standing if the topic is about a question, idea, suggestions just name it. The individual is the principal person on that thread no matter the level or rank.
Yes the forum has giving regards to owner of post(OP) they have the option of self moderating there thread in some board and that a good thing I must commend.

But my suggestion is this since the OP is the principal person on his/her thread so far the thread is of quality(if not it would be trashed) the OP has a preference to their follow up reply on the same thread, that is to say any comments or reply the OP makes on that thread should have a position up or just right below the body of the topic.
This would make their reply very visible and easily accessible to the general users( especially on threads with high replies).
  It could be in form of a link stating where the OP has replied on the thread. This could easily help In solving the OP question, accessing their ideas or just simply giving them a bit of an edge in term of regard on their own thread.

Your suggestion and idea are highly welcomed
219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't blame the idea(ico) blame scammers on: June 12, 2019, 09:25:24 AM
You are right, scammers are to be blamed for all the losses investors have incurred over the years as a result of investing in ICO. Nothing is actually wrong with ICO but scammers have given it a bad name.
That's exactly the point am trying to make and not only have scammers gotten hold of the initial coin offering but are systematically invading cryptocurrency as a whole and this is affecting the adaptation of cryptocurrency globally
220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury vs Tom Schwarz on: June 11, 2019, 10:07:25 PM
I think schwarz would be motivated with what happened between Ruiz Jr and Anthony Joshua and how the less seeded came out top but I don't think that would be the case in this fight. I see Tyson fury coming out with his hands held high the match would be tough no doubt it would go above 7 round but after that Tyson would win this one
