Please don't put yourself at risk. Do you have any reason why you want to try that kickex exchange over the exchange that is long running and has good reputation such as kucoin, binance, coinbase or ftx. Don't increase the risk of you using a new exchange unless you really want to try it or that is the only exchange that have the pairs you are finding. It's the first time I heard such exchange and I honestly won't even try signing up with them.

Reddit: I don't visit reddit neither have an account  Tongue

Bitcointalk: This is where I gather things up, See what's currently happening in the entire cryptocurrency space. I've learned things here and can personally label this forum as the most healthy threads in the entire cryptospace.

Twitter: I can mostly see insights, prediction and NFT's here when I open my twitter account dedicated for crypto. It depends on who you follow, There are many trolls here and a lot of meme whenever something big is happening to crypto.

Discord: I'm only visiting discord for me to check what's a certain project situation and announcements. It's easier cause it's sorted.  I don't spend much time in discord.

Telegram: I do visit telegram telegram groups for certain project questions. I also don't spend much time in telegram.

<Snip>
Thanks for taking part and showing us your hardware wallets. It's been a long time since someone did. Smiley
You mentioned your USB flash drives a few times. Have you by any chance stored your recovery phrase on these drives, and are those digital copies the only backups you have of your seed? Have you made proper physical backups on paper?
Yes! Recovery phrases are on those USB flash drives, I have multiple and I spread it on those sticks. I also added a layer of password that I myself only knew so that even if someone finds my usb flash drive, They can't access the seed/recovery phrases that easily. I have paper backup bundled on those flash drives I can access it incase I got into an accident that makes fall into amnesia. My instructions are designed to myself. I know I'm a bit tricky on my wallets but it's what I am.

I can say that I'm ready whenever a fire got into my house, If ever I got an amnesia, be victimized by a robbery or have floods in my house.

"We" might be pertaining to something but we can't deny that using "We" could be describe a group, an organization or multiple number of persons on the bitcoin project.

It's been how many years now that we are trying to decipher who Satoshi Nakamoto are. Every clues we find are validated and discussed but we are very far from knowing who is Satoshi Nakamoto. I think it would be good if we just wait for a miracle that Satoshi Nakamoto open his account again. I'm sure it will be grand!
2305  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My class had their first practical Bitcoin exercise on: July 15, 2022, 07:37:08 AM
What you’re doing is great. I really appreciate that you are teaching students about bitcoins. I wish I had someone to teach me when I started my journey. I would suggest you teach them every aspect of bitcoin like its durability, portability, fungibility, scarcity, divisibility, and recognizability. It is important to know how it is based on properties of mathematics rather than physical properties. Tell them that bitcoin is emerging now but it may be the future.
People who are teaching about bitcoin and cryptocurrency are increasing lately, This could be the result of people finding the importance of the technology we have and it's advantages. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency have been dramatically increase it's popularity last bull run. Because of the price going up, People are interested in learning it and make profit over it's volatile aspect. We all know what lays in the future and you learning bitcoin and cryptocurrency will never be late.

Having a teacher to teach you is a great advantage but If you caught your interest in bitcoin without having anyone to teach you, Internet will be your best friend here. You can gain massive amount of knowledge about bitcoin in the internet and over in this forum, I'm sure that most of your question have a thread in this forum.
2306  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Show off your hardware wallet on: July 15, 2022, 07:00:20 AM
I'm a little bit late but yeah I have these few devices which consist of 1 ledger nano S, 1 Trezor one, couple of flashdrives.

I got my Ledger Nano S around 2017 as far as I remember, I acquired it from my friend who is a reseller of ledger in my country before. This is were I store majority of my bitcoins, There's no problem encountered in the past except for the physical connection because of the age of included cable.

I acquired the Trezor one during 2021 bull run, It was pretty new honestly. Plastic is still intact. I stored most of my altcoins here that I decided to keep for long term. This also become my wallet for NFT games such as axie infinity.

and I have couple of flashdrives, I have more actually. It's stored in safe places I know so if there's anything happened to my house like having my house burned on fire or robbery I will still have my keys on me.

One reason I bought another wallet (trezor one) is because of the insufficient memory capacity of my ledger nano S. I find it hard to store multiple coins in a single hardware wallet so I decided to buy Trezor one.

2307  Other / Meta / Re: Anonymous feature in this forum on: July 15, 2022, 06:27:02 AM
theymos can change it to Anonymous. Maybe Cyrus can do it too.

Deleting accounts doesn't mess up any threads, like this thread. It just changes to anonymous, with no profile information. Post stays intact.

As you can see here, I only change the username to "Anonymous" on request.
Oh I see Thanks to this, I've cleared my mind up to this anonymous thing. Didn't have any idea that it's theymos doing this.

If such a feature would be implemented then I could almost guarantee that spam would just increase tenfold; as obviously it would just make their jobs a lot easier.
I agree that spams would increase, This might be the reason we don't have such feature. Also unregulated posts such as threat will come more often I think. So yeah we should just stick on the current account system.
2308  Other / Meta / Anonymous feature in this forum on: July 15, 2022, 05:28:09 AM
Upon browsing very old threads and marketplace deals way back when this forum is launched. I've seen this first time in this forum, I never know that there is an option before to be anonymous as is. 

I know that it's remove for various reasons and I speculate that it's removed due to inefficiency and to avoid outlaw post in this forum.
Will you agree if such feature were brought back to this forum?

I can see first time visitors, People who just have questions about his situation on crypto that don't want to create an account will be the one utilizing it. Instead of creating account for such single use and leaving it, They can use this anonymous feature.

I'm sure that this could be problematic since it attract spams in the forum but restricting them to post only into a newly created board such as [Anonymous posts](I imagine and invented the name) will sorta filter all those anonymous posts.



2309  Other / Meta / Re: How Would You Make Bitcointalk Better If You Were The Boss ? on: July 15, 2022, 04:45:05 AM

But today, I want each and every one of us to be the Boss, its a simple question, Assume yourself as the boss who oversees all the affairs of this forum,

-Are you going to implement new features? what would it be and how would it benefit the community?

Probably add 2FA for additional security layer, Add Bitcoin and major altcoin price tickers

-Are you likely to remove a feature or two? what feature would you remove and why would you remove it/them?

I've been here for a long time now and on the past years, captcha during log in become pain in the a** especially when you are using a mobile device. On desktop mode it's somehow fine with me but this is probably the one I will be removing or changing. Changing it to failed multiple login attempts then having a incremental cooldown would be sufficient.

-Will you redesign the forum?, what color(s) and designs do you think would suit the forum better?

Adding night mode would be enough I guess. If we need to be fancy, Adding such user-preferred color changing schemes would be nice just like what google chrome browser customize profile colors.
2310  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Better than DCA is DCAing when fear is high on: July 14, 2022, 07:32:10 PM
If the market is continuously down to the dip, no one can assume where its maximum. Moreover, many speculate that there is a possibility of going deeper form the current position. They are not willing to buy any assets. Everything is just an assumption. But as per the overall market condition I think DCA is a better investment strategy at this  point. By using Dollar-Cost Averaging method at the moment comparatively it will be less risky investment.
Using DCA strategy is for me a good strategy that is applicable on the market situation we have right now but If you know how to read charts, It would be better to take advantage of it and catch support or lower prices. We should learn how to maximize our profit in the future. I myself is doing a modified DCA strategy where as I do have the exact budget and time span when should I buy, It's basically a DCA strategy but the thing I modified is I'm trying to find the lowest price I can buy at my set time span since I can do research and read some charts.
2311  Local / Pamilihan / Re: ASJ Global Legit or Scam? on: July 14, 2022, 07:08:24 PM
Ngayon ko lang to nakita sa newsfeed ko. Bakit pa kaya sila mag lalagay ng ganyang terms na if mamatay ang ASJ members eh saka lang nila makukuha ang refund nila. Pwede nito ma bigyan ng idea yung mga ASJ investors para makuha refund nila, Especially if yung ASJ investor is gipit na or nag kalubog-lubog na utang or depressed dahil sa scam na yan. This is really alarming!!!

There are scammers that take advantage on payment system. I've experienced one before, Scammer acted they sent me the payment for the transaction via text message
This is not possible on binance because phone numbers of the buyer/seller are not visible to the other party. The only means of communication is the binance p2p chat box, which puts everything under the control of the exchange, and they can oversee the transaction successfully.  
It's a P2P transaction, so it means there are option for buyer to pay. These includes several banks and other digital wallets that is available in your country. In my case, I use Gcash a digital wallet which is connected to your phone number. All of the transactions happened into the app, will be notified on your phone number. For example The buyer sent me $100 on my digital wallet, I will be notified on my phone number that there are someone who sent me $100. Scammer take advantage of this by sending text messages to my phone number without having real transaction. This is why I have a habit now of checking my Digital wallet app every time I have a transaction for me to verify it.
2313  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Nag-aacumulate ka ba ng crypto ngayong bear season? on: July 14, 2022, 03:53:21 PM
Answer: yes, though hinay hinay lang ako sa pag deploy ng capital.

Kung oo, pano nyo bina-budget yung pera sa pagbili ng crypto at real-life responsibilities.
1. Wag mabili ng mga walang kwentang bagay
2. Unahin muna bayaran ang importanteng bagay
3. Siguraduhin munang may malaking ipon bago sumugal sa crypto
4. Siguraduhing may steady cashflow na maliit ang chansang mawala
5. Siguraduhing walang utang
+1 to this!

Wag na wag mag force invest sa crypto na gamit ang pera na nakalaan sa ibang bagay or bayarin. Also ang savings ay advisable na wag muna iinvest because if anything happened bad, Pwedeng mapull out niyo ang crypto investment niyo at a possible loss.

I strongly agree sa number 1, even without budgeting para bumili ng crypto. It's wise to avoid buying things na hindi mapapakinabangan or hindi kailangan. I've been on that situation at ang ending is ibinenta ko almost lahat ng "wants" ko. It's good to be financial literate sa mga panahon na gaya nito.
2314  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: P2P transaction cheating techniques. on: July 14, 2022, 03:07:31 PM
Scammer acted they sent me the payment for the transaction via text message. It looks legit at first glance but after examining the text and checking on my application, It's obviously a scam.
Which text message do you mean? If I have understood your statement correctly, what you're saying is that the seller can send you an SMS notification while making it appear as though it came from the platform where you're receiving the money, such as Gcash, PH-based banks, and what not?

I mean that's pretty clever and alarming method that a scammer uses to confuse a P2P customer. I've been using Binance P2P a lot, and I oftentimes relied solely on SMS notifications to know whether or not money had been received and not thru the receiving application(e.g., Gcash, Unionbank)  Shocked
My bad, It's the buyer that is sending the message to me (I'm the seller). It's from Gcash, The text message is very real imo. The text message came from gcash also that's why it's so believable. Though I check my Gcash app and see no transaction or added balance to it that's why I confirmed it as scam. Be careful just relying on SMS notification, Scammers are very smart nowadays.
2315  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Pictures on users profile? on: July 14, 2022, 01:42:43 PM
Its a bit weird to ask, but noticing that at a certain rank here, Forum users are permitted to add pictures to their profile, Has there been any user in the history of forum that has opted to use their personal picture as the image displayed there?
There are some who choose to post their real identity here for their own reasons and others who we don't know if their profile picture is their real picture.  We are on this forum, It would be nice to take advantage of the anonymity that the forum provides. Most of us here remain anonymous, Even reputed and most trusted members here doesn't reveal themselves because I think there could be a problems in the future just like what happened on other people who doxed themselves on their own projects. I've seen threats over doxed crypto project owners just because of their projects downfall that is being affected by the current market scenarios.
2316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Gambling companies can get more users to deposit. on: July 14, 2022, 08:41:21 AM
One of the best ways to make people deposit would be a promotion where they get paid a bonus for depositing.

As a second item, as said in OP, I think the ability to withdraw to different platforms would be interesting to people. But to be honest I think the vast majority of users will only care about withdrawals when they already deposited, so a promotion bonus would be better in the end.
Gamblers have different take on what can hook them to deposit in a casino, Promotion is not deniably one of the most thing that gamblers consider before depositing in a casino. But we do have different preferences on what casino aspects would make us deposit. I myself do check first the available options for withdrawal and deposit first before promotion or bonus honestly. I'm just not a fan of taking up requirements to make the bonus withdrawable. We have different preferences and considerations but if a casino have more withdrawal options and provide a good promotion, Their chances in making gamblers deposit will raise.
2317  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: P2P transaction cheating techniques. on: July 14, 2022, 05:52:03 AM
My General rule of thumb is to transact in sellers that currently have a reputation. Transaction numbers, Transaction rate/score, Verified are such factors that I'm considering in choosing a seller and try to evaluate these factors if I can put my trust on it. Newbies should also be careful on details, There are scammers that take advantage on payment system. I've experienced one before, Scammer acted they sent me the payment for the transaction via text message. It looks legit at first glance but after examining the text and checking on my application, It's obviously a scam.

Scammers are on every platforms whether it's on binance, kucoin, bybit or any P2P platforms. Be vigilant.
2318  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People are not only gambling to win but they are buying entertainment on: July 13, 2022, 07:56:13 PM
We can only use gambling for fun and not think we are trying to win over and over again.
In fact, we will lose more often than we win so maybe we should just enjoy our time gambling and return to the next activity after our gambling time is over.
We must change our mindset of wanting consecutive wins because it is very difficult to get them.
But we can win once in a while especially if luck can come to us.
Gamblers who enjoyed playing gambling are the ones who are trying to beat the casino. Gamblers experience producing adrenalin and endorphins have goals and their goals are different, You won't get thrilled because you are just having fun with games. You are being thrilled as well as having fun because of the risk of the stakes you are betting to. Trying to have consecutive wins is a hard thing to do that's why gamblers are keep trying to achieve it because it's challenging. Entertainment differs on every person, Having goals to be achieved, being challenged and winning is one of the factors for me to achieve my kind of entertainment.
2319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin dump have any impact on gamblers ? on: July 13, 2022, 07:14:08 PM
Maybe for those who have been playing crypto gambling for a long time it has no effect on them, and I’m sure they won’t be bothered either because they know that kind of move in this industry. And then if anyone will be affected by this sudden fall in the price of bitcoin, it is none other than those who are new to this industry and do not yet have enough knowledge of cryptocurrency. What they can do right away is to release their gambling winnings immediately because they will think that Bitcoin will continue to collapse, which is not really going to happen.
I think if they were new they wouldn't pay much attention to the ups and downs of the price, because basically they would focus on the stakes and not on the price on bitcoin. But indeed, the decline in the price of bitcoin will not affect the overall bet because every gambler and player certainly has its own way and calculation for them to hold, withdraw and deposit. So far the price of bitcoin has experienced a lot of decline but in fact there are not many gamblers who complain about it and also, not many of the developers are bankrupt, because more of them survive and continue to grow over time.

That is because many but many of the reputable and trustworthy casinos don't let you play in Bitcoin currency by default,or better to say that slot providers like Play n Go and a couple of others always exchange your balance to dollars and thus you don't pay that much attention.Also when we play sport betting every major casino and sport book let us directly play with Bitcoin as currency and this is also the case where new players would not notice anything.

In fact if they are really paying attention to anything they would see that when playing slots for the same amount of Bitcoin when we are in a bear market like right now it is not a wise idea to play as you are spending Bitcoin for a much lower value in dollars as when we are in a bull market.
We know that bitcoin is a volatile assets. I think I will not agree that it's not a wise idea to play using bitcoin because of it's lower value. It's just the same thing as not letting traders trade because the value of their bitcoin is now reduced. If we play on a casino using bitcoin, Bitcoin will also be the reward. If a casino do not offer bitcoin as a default, I'm sure we can choose bitcoin and just avoid or use altcoin if that casino doesn't offer bitcoin as a currency to play at their casino. We can see that majority of crypto is going down and it's the market cycle we are experiencing. If the gambler want a stable, The gambler should opt of real world currency casino or resort to crypto casino that offers stable coins to play.   

If the gambler understand the volatility of bitcoin, the gambler wouldn't be affected much.
2320  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bear markets are for building on: July 13, 2022, 06:27:39 PM
Unfortunately most of the newbies, beginners and average Joes out there are not treating bear market as "building" stage as they are panic selling in the first place. I was guilty of that before as I panic sell my Bitcoin back then and afterward I had a lot of regrets.

As of today, I keep "building" my Bitcoin portfolio by doing dollar-cost averaging (DCA) every month. Tomorrow or in a couple of days from now I'll be receiving another extra "not beer" money for me to accumulate some BTC again to build my wealth for the long-term.
True, Most People or projects who just entered on the euphoria phase of bitcoin would be definitely crash because of the ignorance of understanding that we have a market cycle and bear market is inevitable. Most of us experience this first before we understand how market works and I myself also experienced it last bear market. People and projects who stop now will regret in the future for not keep building their project plans and portfolio. I've seen some projects last bear market who stop building and producing their products and somehow showed up during bull market phase and tried to revive the project, It failed as expected.
