Are you sure about that? I recently checked some of the Mod-payments, and they were higher than I expected. Of course, this is different for each Mod, but so are signature payments.
Can you estimate the average or at least the limits of those payments? even if the numbers are not accurate.

Several years ago, I remember this was brought up, and the average was about $60 per week ~240/month (depending on board) but for most it is less than $100 per month.

To avoid duplicating replies, please create a brief one containing the most important recommendations and suggestions, and ask users to read it first before making new review.


* At first I tried to access the site without javascript, unfortunately the site does not work.

Suggestion:

Create a clean copy (e.g https://clean.whirlwind.money/) with basic features that do not require JavaScript.

** Fast Mode: The idea of delaying a transaction to enhance privacy is relatively old and has proven to be traceable.

Suggestions:

Why not trying to do some off-network transactions using, for example, anonymous LN hub or something like:
 - TumbleBit: An Untrusted Bitcoin-Compatible Anonymous Payment Hub: https://github.com/BUSEC/TumbleBit
 - A2L: Anonymous Atomic Locks for Scalability in Payment Channel Hubs

*** Note fees: I see that you give a variable range of note fees, and the reason is to enhance privacy. Humans use the same choice when they have multiple options.

Suggestions:

 that the notes fee be random at any rate from 0.25% to 1.5%.

**** Warranty message: I see that the warranty message contains "We have generated the deposit address," without a clear definition of the service name.

2063  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Some scams that can be avoided that people failed to check!!! on: April 05, 2023, 03:28:28 AM
All your tips explain phishing in one way or another, simply because it is an attempt to use a service that claims to be a reliable service, or at least there is an unreliable service that wants to attract followers by offering offers that are too good to be true.
But the fraud is much greater than that. You may find a real service that works for several years, and yet it deceives you.
So preparing static lists will not solve the problem, but:

 - Be skeptical.
 - Do not trust any service.
 - Always ask and do not be shy to ask the question, no matter how stupid.
 - Finally, do not think that you know everything, because it is the scammers' way of finding victims.
2064  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Trade like Robot (Robot doesn't have emotions) on: April 05, 2023, 03:01:02 AM
If you trade like a robot, you will not trade, but you will put your money in banks and buy US Treasury bonds, and it will suffice to increase your money by 3% annually without fatigue, zero risk, and easy liquidation.

Emotions are essential in trading, had it not been for fear and greed, most of us would not have continued trading, but the most important thing is to control those feelings so that they are a force that pushes you to more profits and not a factor that leads you to loss.
Greed and greed are two weapons if used perfectly.


Do not confuse this term with bot trading. In bot trading, you let the bot do things that you cannot do at certain times, but you are in control.
2065  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase planning to close accounts of certain users on 9th April? on: April 05, 2023, 02:38:01 AM
Does anyone know if listing on the stock exchange means checking the actual number of accounts you have and their growth rates? I see this on social media, as soon as it is listed on the stock exchange, it periodically freezes inactive accounts, and therefore the list of existing active accounts is evidence of the growth of the platform and not manipulation of numbers.

Regardless of the reasons, but the truth is the same, these platforms do not provide a guarantee like banks, and if people fear for their money in banks, then it is a priority to stay away from keeping your money on the platform.
2066  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Paxful to shutdown! on: April 05, 2023, 02:20:04 AM
Centralized exchanges with so called P2P has forced all of them to shut down? Ridiculous. After Binance, Kucoin and some other CEXs offering fake P2P transactions, all of these are getting shut down!
I also lean towards the scenario that competition is the main reason behind this closure, although I am surprised at its speed, as many people use this platform to buy and sell gift cards, which is relatively good and may enable them to hold out for a while, but what happened happened.

Most of P2P platforms are centralized, and those that have been closed are completely centralized, so I do not think that they will have an impact on the market, as alternatives are available.
I hope this war on central platforms ends because it accelerates lockdowns.


@OmegaStarScream How do you do it? Cheesy You are almost the first one who's posting topics about closing platforms.
2067  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Ledger hacked, 30 BTC stolen on 04/02/2023 on: April 05, 2023, 02:02:46 AM
Sorry to lose your money but you won't get much information for free, if you are in a country with laws and you have extra money to spend tracking down the scammer you may get your money back.
Most scammers are lazy so your money will end up on centralized platforms and may not be mixed, try contacting cryptocurrency tracking services and by paying them a little you will get the tip of the string.


You can also report the hacker's bitcoin address on various sites such as :

How do the reporting mechanisms work here? In other words, how will you prove that this amount was scammed from you? Or in other words, how will the abuse of this service be prevented.
I used to think that such services are for hackers resulting from central platforms or entities, not individuals.
2068  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: I think it's time to leave Binance, any alternatives? on: April 05, 2023, 01:34:33 AM
The reasons you mentioned are what the media machine wants you to believe, but there are many enough reasons to make you avoid them. Unfortunately, Binance was excellent in the first days, but with the days, their model began to build an ideal platform that carries many flaws.
Currently, there is no suitable alternative for them, and centralized platforms do not provide an ideal alternative, so withdraw your money from the platform as soon as trading ends and try to use all available alternatives.

I believe that with the passage of time people will understand the importance of DEXs.
2069  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Participating in Mixer Signature Campaign on: April 05, 2023, 01:18:32 AM
The question that puzzles me is, will one of the staff agree to withdraw from his position in return for wearing the signature of the mixing campaigns? I mean, if we think about it, the amounts that are paid to the staff are small compared to about $ 150 per week.

We note that the United States has become strict with crypto, and it is only a matter of days and mixing services will be banned, so sooner or later these campaigns will end, so if you are thinking in the long term, it is better to avoid joining them.
2070  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Non KYC virtual cards (support Apple Pay and Google Pay) on: April 02, 2023, 02:21:31 AM
If the service provider knows that you do not ask the users to verify their identity, then these cards will stop, not to mention that they accept Bitcoin, which means that the eyes around them will be greater.

I do not know, but there is no legal way in which you can obtain these cards, either you buy them from the black market and therefore either with the knowledge of the owner or they are hacked or stolen, but using your personal data it is difficult to continue from the year 2019 with high demand and without being discovered.


Guys, pls no another services discussion in this topic!
You are free to use a service whichever you like.


It's a bad way to introduce yourself.
2071  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Supercycle? on: April 02, 2023, 02:10:44 AM
What you're trying to say is the normal definition of cycles, which are supposed to occur every four years, so an average of two to three years makes sense based on a lot of historical data.

In previous times, we used to break the previous ATH, but no one knows what will happen in the future.
It is not a Supercycle because "Supercycle" means that something unique happens which is not unique based on historical data.
2072  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We are about to enter altcoin season, what do you think? on: April 01, 2023, 12:43:35 PM
What is your thoughts? Are you agree with the point?
I will agree with you, if the situation is normal, since there is enough liquidity for high-risk investments, and since bitcoin is no longer so volatile, then the choice will be for cryptocurrencies.

The current situation is different from this fact, many platforms are closed, and interest rates are raised, and others will make anyone withdraw their money and keep it in a wallet.

If I withdraw my coins from the platform, I will not invest in currencies that have no future or are listed on limited platforms AKA 99% of altcoins.
2073  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paying bills with digital currency cards, gift cards on: April 01, 2023, 12:38:52 PM
Where is this shopping mall, or do they accept payment via the lightning network, or are they waiting for a certain number of confirmations? Bitcoin is now ideal for buying products digitally, as the 10-minute interval is not a problem for most digital orders, but it is a big problem in stores.
They can accept the lightning network, which will make a difference for daily purchases, but I am surprised that there is a large mall that tries to attract the largest number of customers by providing the ability to pay even with gift cards.

If you buy gift cards from official sources or stores, it is safe but if you buy them from secondary market, you will have higher risk.
Not only risks, you may end up in prison if the cards are stolen or hacked, not to mention the freezing of your bank account and a lot of headaches and legal problems, I remember that someone had the Amazon account and bank account frozen because of such a transaction.
2074  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: i don't have very technical knowledge about how secure it is on: April 01, 2023, 12:22:28 PM
Almost this was one of the biggest vulnerabilities[1] that were discovered that caused a hard fork. Fortunately, the network was only down for 6 hours in the worst case, and this was more than 10 years ago when Bitcoin was in its early days.
Therefore, with all the developers and investment funds, the possibility of a major vulnerability is small, or it will be resolved quickly, remember Bitcoin 100% Uptime more than 9 years ago.

There are (maybe) 2 altcoins that I would trust already, so this isn't really a concern of mine. 99.9% of altcoins are money grabs, scams, centralized, or so poorly put together that no one should even consider buying them.
Monero (XMR) and what?

Yeah and imagine you need a little from that treasure and once you plug it in yoz see nil which willmake for a happy cold feeling.
I'm sorry to be a little OFFTOPIC, but has anyone made reviews? Just like this tests ----> https://jlopp.github.io/metal-bitcoin-storage-reviews/
Or are there any accessories that enhance the durability of these devices, as we find in smart phones.

Generally, you should not trust an electronic device when it comes to your coins, always keep several backup copies.

1 Chipmixer was the only centralized mixing service which I did not break fully. However, I did not put much work into checking this mixing service.


Contact him, and if he accepts to give a paid review, I think that this will contribute a lot to gaining trust in your mixer service (at least for some here)
2077  Economy / Reputation / Re: Royse777 is a big fraud. on: April 01, 2023, 11:20:45 AM
It is likely that you are one of the people who were not selected in one of Royse777 campaigns, or you were chosen in a lower rank and you were not ranked-up. Do not take matters personally. If you do not like the campaign manager, contact the service that is advertised and leave them the choice. If they do not take any action, then move on to other campaign.
2078  Other / Archival / Re: Sinbad.io Mixer - secure, fast and easy to use on: April 01, 2023, 11:10:46 AM

Most important is that the service does not keep logs
You should not worry about cloudflare, your data is safe anyway

I see that you have increased the advertising campaign fees, which amounted to about $20,000 per week, which is a relatively huge amount. Are there any plans to develop the site or any unconventional ideas?
I do not know, but if you are willing to pay this amount for advertising, I think that allocating half of it per week will lead you to the perfect mixer.

Also, there are some new ideas presented by whirlwindmoney. I hope to see new ideas from you.
2079  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top AI Crypto coins that can possibly change your life on: March 31, 2023, 06:03:09 PM
Am I the only one who considers that any investment that claims to change your life with a click is a false investment, or at least that it is a cheap promotion from them to persuade you to invest?
So let's say it's a good investment or an investment that will bring you an excellent income.
Of all these projects, I find that Ocean Protocol is the only one worthy of attention, but I believe that the strength of these tokens comes from demand, and therefore the tokens related to services related to artificial intelligence are the ones that will get a lot of momentum.
2080  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Credit creation on a Bitcoin standard on: March 31, 2023, 04:38:00 PM
Just like what happened with gold when people were afraid to keep their gold and put it with trusted people.
These trusted people started lending that gold, and then they began lending gold that they did not own, and so on until the person fails to fulfill the credit requirements.
The same thing applies to the central platforms, where those platforms lend you money, and suddenly everything disappears.

Whenever people leave their money with a second party, the easier it is to get easy money from lending.
