We can't know that since he can trade in different pairs on both platforms. Three-point (or triangular) arbitrage is a very popular trading method during a volatile market, especially when using bots.

I'm not particularly familiar with the Aleph Zero wallet, but I don't think you should worry. Since you said that your Windows OS was still very new at that time, we can assume that you did not have any malware on your computer that could steal the data contained in the json file. Did you use any kind of antivirus at that time? Most relevant antiviruses will successfully detect and block trojans, keyloggers and similar attacks.

For absolute safety, I recommend creating a new wallet, writing down a new recovery seed, and saving it in a safe place offline, then transferring all funds from the old wallet to the new wallet.

Trading cryptocurrencies has never been easier, but just like any beginning, it can also be challenging for new users. Many traders are inexperienced and uninformed and don't have a developed trading plan at all, which can lead to costly mistakes. On top of that, the crypto market is extremely volatile, so it can be easy to take a loss in the blink of an eye.
What is most important is to figure out what time period you would like to invest in and devise your strategy based on that. For example, if you plan on investing in bitcoin, you need to decide the minimum amount you can afford to lose at any given time and the maximum time period you can live with a loss.

Cryptocurrency trading is not rocket science, but it does require some special skills, experience, and strategy. You need to be able to determine the current cryptocurrency market trends, and a system that will help you to maximize profits and minimize losses. You must understand when to sell, when to buy, and how to use different strategies to profit from the market fluctuations. HODL may seem as simple as it is easy to implement, but it is the most psychologically demanding strategy that requires a deep understanding of cryptocurrency and a belief in its long-term potential. It can be hard for some people to reconcile the belief in cryptocurrency with the fear of losing it. I recommend investing only a small amount of money at a time and trading in small increments so that you can always exit your positions within a short period.

Speaking of which, do you know how long we'll be stuck with the current forum software? It's really outdated by today's standards.
What happened to Epochtalk? Why haven't we had any updates for ages?

Yeah. In my opinion, they should have resolved all or at least most of the scam accusations against them by now if 1xbit is actually a legit site that doesn't scam its customers. But, unfortunately, they seem like they have no intention of ever doing that.

If you have already sent funds to the 1XBit website and have any winnings in the account balance, you should try to get your money out as soon as possible. We have received many reports of accounts being frozen, some even after receiving at least some of the funds, and the result is the same for everyone - after a couple of generic canned replies, 1xbit stops responding to inquiries, even after contacting their support directly. So you have to use this chance to get out as soon as possible.

Was bitcoin ever truly "free" money? Of course, the first bitcoins were worth a lot less than they are now, but even in those early days you had to compete with your computer against other miners in solo mining before you were able to get coins. Since every computer consumes electricity, especially under load, mining has never been free.

Yes. But, at the same time, KYC verification is no magic bullet either, and sometimes even KYC is not enough to stop the bad people from creating multiple accounts on gambling platforms. Almost anything that is digital can be forged very easily, including personal identification documents. Any document can be manipulated or hacked and it is very much possible that people impersonate other people.

I must give credit to a newbie who registered on the forum today, made his first post a few minutes later, and already offering advice on how to earn merits in his second post.
Way to go, Benkbeny! It's not often that we see newbies so well versed in forum stuff. 

The only thing I'd like to know is what you're smoking in that crack pipe, and where can I get some? Like PawGo said, you seem a bit obsessed with the FreeBitco.in and TheQuin, what gives?

I think you should calm down a bit. You can't expect someone to be active on the forum all the time. I'm sure TheQuin will let us know what's going on once he's back online.

I agree. This seems more like a promotion than a complaint. He should have provided screenshots or other proof to back up his claims if he wanted us to take him seriously. I believe that he did not actually invest anything and is just trying to get the scam platform to lure more victims. The next thing he'll probably say is that he successfully withdrew the funds and "made" thousands of dollars in profit.

Maybe he doesn't know the difference between a gambling site and a trading site? hahaha!

The first rule of the Merit System is: you do not talk about or ask about the Merit System! 

As others have mentioned, if you spend most of your time posting in the bounty sections, you will never get a chance to increase your rank and advance in the forum. Try writing some actual posts instead.

There is no way to delete your account. At least not without admin help. And, as far as I know, this has only happened in extremely rare cases.


Your IP addresses are not stored/logged indefinitely. I don't know the exact information by heart, but I think that all stored IP addresses of members are deleted after a certain period of time.


Third-party sites have already archived everything, so you will never be able to delete everything, even if you delete all your content from this forum.

No, I don't think you're too paranoid. There is nothing true in the OP's story, and I believe that it is most likely some kind of cheap scam attempt.
It seems the OP is playing the innocent and naive, hoping that some greedy idiot will fall for it.

Of course it can! It's just a matter of where you want to go and how long you are willing to wait for it. The most important thing is to set goals. The only way to know what you are working towards is to have a goal to aim for. For example, when I first started investing, my goal was to make 2000$ in the following year. Since I easily achieved my first goal, I set myself a new one.

Using the site now, and it seems to be working fine  on my end, too. It has been working throughout the day, at least when I used it. I have also tested the site with my mobile phone without problems. Perhaps there is a problem with access only from certain locations?

What if I told you there is no issue?

Well, I agree with that. It is possible for some casinos to unfairly apply their Terms to players without grounds or valid evidence, but these are scam companies. I think we can't generalize that all online casinos are in the same category. There are, and still are, many reputable online casinos that still value their customers, and by respecting their Terms, they will respect them back.

No, that's not true. There is absolutely no doubt that TOS have legal value and this is a key reason why companies put this kind of stuff on their sites. They clearly do so for legal reasons. Your comment probably refers to a particular case where the TOS conflicted with some law, in which case the law takes precedence.

Not gonna happen! You're all on your own.


Don't give up. It will come to you. 

I'm sorry, but you're mistaken again. This is exactly why neutral feedback is for.
Your inability or unwillingness to understand even the simplest rules on this forum explains why you make so many mistakes here. Maybe you will get a better understanding of the Trust system after you read LoyceV's Beginners guide.

To put it mildly... 

In your post you said you had been following the Telegram group passively for two months (by the way, that doesn't seem long)? But the very platform you mentioned is only two months old. There wasn't even a domain registered before then. Don't you think it's suspicious that someone offers advice and trading tips on an exchange that just started working? That should have been your first clue that it was most likely a scam.

When you say you didn't trust them 100%, but you still invest a small 4 digit amount in USDT. That doesn't make sense. How much would you invest if you did trust them 100 percent?

Last but not least, you have not provided any evidence for any of your claims, so members here will be hard-pressed to believe your story. We've seen all kinds of scam attempts, and this could very well be one of them.
