Seeing that OP registered his account a few days ago to make this scam accusation thread, I doubt he knows what flags are or what the forum's feedback system represents. If the seller had a newbie flag, it's hard to overlook as everything is self-explanatory after reading the banner above the user's profile. Still, if you look how clusterphys writes, English is certainly not his strong side. Unfortunately, neither is his knowledge of bitcoin because the seller managed to trick him that "Bitcoin kept too much fees" and that he needed to send another transaction to make up for it.

Judging by what holydarkness said, AskGamblers doesn't mediate in disputes that concern MaverickGames. He couldn't find the casino on their website. I also did a quick search and couldn't find it either. CasinoGuru could be of assistance, though, if the player wanted their help. Based on OP's results, I don't think he want's to take this any further.

No one here can know if you are telling the truth or not regarding your travelling and gambling habits. It's possible of course that you were indeed in a different country from the one whose ID documents you possess. A different scenario is that you are gambling from a restricted location or that you got banned and returned to the site and are now using VPN software to hide your identity.

To confirm if you are telling the truth or not, a trusted mediator would have to look at the presented evidence. If you don't want to go down that route, this thread doesn't really have much value. It's a person saying they got scammed and nothing else. The story begins and ends there.

And in reality, it's the other way around. Bingos and lotteries are purely luck-based products. Sports betting, on the other hand, is a combination of luck and skills/knowledge. Your odds of winning are much higher when you bet on sports than when you want to win the lottery. You can make a single bet and profit from it, while in a lottery you need to guess several number sequences to win.

Are you using some enhanced security features that might cause that? AgoraDesk has a version with JavaScript and one without it. I think JS can also be used to geolocate someone's device, but I have never given it much thought. Maybe you can try with a more privacy-invasive browser like Chrome to see if it affects anything.

Slažem se u mnogo tome sa ovim što si rekao u vezi nekretnina i problema na koje čovjek može naletjeti prilikom prodaje. Ali ako je likvidnost problem kod nekretnina, isto tako je velika volatilnost problem kod bitcoina. Bitcoin možeš uvijek prodati ali je pitanje kolika će biti cijena onog trenutka kad budeš prodavao. Naravno da kad lječiš sebe ili nekog svoga, nećeš razmišljati o profitu kod prodaje. U drugim situacijama, BTC ti može izgubiti 50% ili više onda kad ti treba lova od one vrijednosti koju je imao kada si ga kupio.

Moguće da je izašao iz BTC-a u USDT ili neki stablecoin, čekao da cijena bitcoina padne i onda kupio više BTC-a nego što je orginalno zamjenio a uz to kupio sve one stvari koje je naveo u svom postu.

Ja bi bio sretan da dođe i do tog famoznog praga od $100k o kojem mnogi sanjaju. Tad bi jedan dio svog portfelja sigurno prodao koji već stoji spreman i konsolidiran za tako nešto. Ali pitanje je onda u šta izaći kad fiat konstantno gubi vrijednost. Plemeniti metali možda. Nekretnina? Postavja se pitanje porijekla novca...
BTC na $100.000 bi bilo odlično. Sve iznad toga je dodatni veliki premium.

Ne možeš je koristiti na POS uređajima ali je možeš koristiti za online kupovinu na isti način kako radiš sa fizičkom debitnom/kreditnom karticom. Virtualna kartica na sebi ima broj, datum isteka i onaj troznamenkasti CVV2 broj pozadi i to ti se traži kad plačaš za nešto online.

Pa da, to sam i mislio. Custodial servis kao i centralizovane mjenačnice i lako im je onda uzeti jedan coin a poslati drugi. Naplačuju li nekakvu naknadu za tu "zamjenu" iz layer 1 u layer 2 ili imaju naknada za povlačenje sredstava sa walleta?

Prošli veliki bull run je bio 2018. LN je predstavljen 2016 ako se ne varam. Još je vjerovatno bilo rano za neko ozbiljnije korištenje LN mreže. 

After seeing your post, I decided to do the same thing to see what happens on my end. And you are right, the default currencies change. It was first EUR. After that, I switched to a Swiss IP, and the site showed prices in CHF. Finally, I tried with a UK one, and saw everything displayed in GBP. 

Can you shed some more light on future crypto payment methods that WorkasPro will support? Personally, I find it quite unusual that the two biggest coins (bitcoin and ethereum) aren't supported. The website works only with Polygon and Binance-native tokens based on what you said in one of your previous replies. Can we expect BTC and ETH in an upcoming update? 

Decentralized exchanges lack the simplicity that centralized ones have. And people generally opt in for that which is easier to use. If you compare a popular CEX to a popular DEX, the trading environment is completely different. One requires a button press and coin A gets exchanged to coin B. The other requires being online to make the trade and find a matching offer yourself. Then the other party also has to agree. The whole process takes longer.

DEXs have many advantages but they need to be dumbed down for the average Joe to learn how to use them without spending time reading FAQs and different documentation.

OP, you could use an exchange that is decentralized and doesn't require KYC. Some instant exchanges could freeze your coins and ask you to undergo KYC. I recently bookmarked https://www.athena-alpha.com/exchanges/ as a good source that has many non-KYC exchange services.

Luckily, it's easy to automatically translate the Russian Cyrillic alphabet to English using Google Chrome for those who don't understand it. For some reason, many instant exchanges operate out of Russia. Probably because it's the second biggest market after the US.

Ali ako Wallet of Satoshi funkcioniše onako kako je BitGoba objasnio, onda ta osoba koja na njega primi BTC na LN mreži može da ga koristi ili na Lightning mreži ili preko regularne layer 1 mreže. Osobno ne znam kako je to moguće ali tako BitGoba tvrdi. Ispada onda da ti coini idu u novčanike koje kontroliše Wallet of Satoshi, pa onda zavisno od tvoje želje, oni ti isplate ili na layer 1 ili na layer 2.   

There are currently two ongoing discounts with the two biggest hardware wallet manufacturers in the world. 

Recent events don't make Ledger a good choice for long-term storage, but if someone is still looking for a discounted wallet, they can get one now. By entering the promo code COLOR30 during checkout, you get 30% off if you buy a Nano S Plus or Nano X in a different color than black.

Trezor also has a 10% discount for its Privacy Guard Bundle. It contains the Trezor Model T, a PanzerGlas screen protection, a glove For Trezor Model T, and a Trezor lanyard. The total price for the package is €228.

I would personally not take advantage of either of the two options, but everyone should make up their own mind.

Your FAQ section seems to only focus on the physical card and not the virtual card. On the other hand, you mostly talk about the virtual card service.

Explain the following to me please:

I can't say I have heard the term 'consumption rate' before. Is that the fee you charge from the amount the user transacts with?

This looks interesting, especially the no KYC part. But this is a service I would personally only consider if it stays alive and remains spotless in 1-2 years from now. I am only saying that based on how similar services abruptly disappeared from this forum.

I agree that the percentage on top of the market price should definitely be there. The best offers always appear on the top of the list, but you still get lost kind of, especially if the prices are displayed in other currencies. And by default they pop up in EUR, at least for me. I don't know about you, but I am used to looking at the BTC price in USD, and don't even like doing conversions into EUR or my local currency.

Za Arbitrum sam samo čuo i ne znam iskreno kako funkcioniše. Što se Ligtning mreže tiče, da, to je layer 2 rješenje napravljeno da se pomogne zagušenju koje često nastaje na Bitcoin mreži i omoguči brže transakcije tamo gdje je to moguće i ima smisla. Naknade su također značajno niže nego na glavnoj mreži.

Based on how some other freelancing marketplaces work, I am guessing WorkasPro does it similarly. They connect buyers and sellers. More precisely those looking for work and those buying a service. Payments go through escrow like competing marketplaces do it. If someone orders a service from you, the buyer pays the full amount into an escrow account which is a green light that you should begin your work. Once it's completed, you send it over, the buyer verifies the quality, and signals to the escrow to release the funds.

There must surely be an arbitrator who can be called upon if one party has a complaint. If not, that is an essential point the platform should think about. But I wonder what mechanisms they have in place to prevent one party to collude with the escrow to cheat the other person involved in the exchange?

Kako je BitGoba opisao u ovoj temi, ako imaš Muun wallet ili Wallet of Satoshi, isti saldo možeš trošiti on-chain i off-chain. Drugim riječima, možeš plačati ili preko LN mreže ili slati standardne BTC transakcije.
Kod drugih novčanika koji nemaju tu mogućnost to nećeš moći.

Sve zavisi da li dućan u kojem kupuješ prima BTC preko LN mreže ili ne. LN mreža nema standardne adrese kakve koristimo on-chain. Na LN mreži plačaš pomoću Lightning Invoice-a. Ili moraš kopirati i zaljepiti invoice ili skenirati QR kod. Ako ti dućan na raspolaganje stavi samo običnu BTC adresu, onda tu ne možeš slati LN BTC.

Evo kako izgleda jedan LN invoice:
