I have already deposited 400 more dollars because they said that is how they verify the external wallet. yet i missed the 1% fee and need to deposit more funds in order to be verified. Is this a real thing that needs to be done in some cases or am I being scammed.

This sounds like scam to me.

Can I get my money back that I have deposited somehow?

If you deposited 400$ worth of Bitcoin, if the transaction is confirmed, there's nothing you can do. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. It can be a case for the police, but they are not qualified for this and I don't think they'll bother.
If you deposited through bank, see at the bank if they can do anything about it.

How on earth did you send money there without asking first? Why you don't just work with known and reputable exchanges?

BITCOIN STUCK IN WALLET CANT TRANSFER TO EXTERNAL. HELP ME PLEASE!!!

I've never heard of that website, however:
1. From my understanding, you want to withdraw coins from that platform. Only they can help you.
2. Keep in mind that not all websites are legit and the fact a website shows some nice numbers it doesn't mean you own that money and you'll be able to withdraw.
3. Also, as a warning: if they ask for money in order to process your withdrawal, it's the strongest sign they're trying to scam you.

So, contact their support and be overly careful. Good luck!

2464  Economy / Exchanges / Re: UK Regulator Warns Exchange FTX Is Providing Services Without Authorization on: September 21, 2022, 09:34:31 AM
What is head shaking with this news development is FTX is an exchange that works very closely with regulators from different jurisdictions

I'd guess that they've missed something (or they're simply late with some papers) and FCA took the opportunity to bash them because, you know, crypto.
There may be that FTX has to voluntarily send all the KYC details over certain turnover, there may be that FTX has to send all UK users' financial reports to the authorities by default and they didn't... it's difficult to please the authorities and, as I said, probably FTX has missed something.

FTX may lose a few potential customers because of this, but imho it's nothing big actually (neither the problem, nor the loss).
2465  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Received Error When Installed Electrum on: September 21, 2022, 09:02:57 AM
I would not try to use old versions of Electrum (well, I don't use such old Windows either, since it's a security risk). However, some options OP may want to take into consideration would be:
* if he's tech savvy, install a Linux onto a (new) partition for this job (Electrum)
* if he's tech savvy, install a VM Virtual box and inside that either a new windows (last time I've checked Win 10 can be used for free), either a Linux. And Electrum.
* try to give a chance to another make of wallet, which may work with Win7, works (among other options) with Electrum server... and it's also open source: https://sparrowwallet.com/
2466  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Nobel prize for Satoshi. on: September 21, 2022, 08:22:04 AM
Personally i believe that Satoshi do deserve nobel prize for his work.

Indeed, Satoshi deserves at least one Nobel prize for his work.

But there's a "logistics" problem. Satoshi's identity is not known, even more, the world is full of Satoshi impersonators/wannabes. And I would not be surprised one of those will try to go to get the prize. And such development has the potential to end up badly for both the bitcoin community and the organizers too.
2467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: F1 Formula Sports Racing - Sportsbet.io promotions & discussion thread on: September 21, 2022, 08:16:41 AM
Very soon we will know how it works - in 2023 they will return to Le Mans with their hybrids (after leaving Formula E).

Nice!

By the way - isn't it all about money? Porsche wants to play a little game with their shares on market and they hope they will follow Ferrari.

It's always about money, in a way or another.
* F1 is advertising/visibility and a brand like Porsche kinda must be there
* F1 means they can do a lot of innovation / development that subsidized by FIA

I don't know how this affects the IPO though.

2469  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Connect with blockchain directly from your phone on: September 20, 2022, 09:57:20 PM
It is with great pleasure that I share a project that we have been working on for months that consists of connecting the user to the blockchain without having to have a server hosted on their machine.

First of all, maybe I'm mistaking, but you should check what API you use in your app, since Google tells it's not compatible with my Android 11. I see you ask for a version for wearables?!

Second: is this a SPV wallet? Does it work with the actual blockchain and official wallet RPC, hosted by you (I would doubt that) or is it working with a custom server/database built on top of the official wallet/blockchain, like Electrum does?
Or is it something else (eg. custodial)?
2470  Other / Meta / Re: Forum Improvement - My Wild Idea/Suggestion. on: September 20, 2022, 09:39:27 PM
The idea is simple, reconfigure the forum, as well as the merit system, reconfigure it so that if a user does not earn atleast 1 merit in 120 days, that user drops he's current rank for the lower one

At the first look, it seems a great idea (I think I had or agreed a pretty similar idea sometime in the past too, but I won't search now for that topic).
Unfortunately, at a second look, it's no longer that good imho, since this ignores the fact that some smart and worthy people may have a life outside the forum and will punish them for that. Or it ignores the fact that forum users did and will pass away and it will look ugly/strange to see this or that user has became newbie again, somehow ignoring his achievements.
2471  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Tips that could help crypto beginners. on: September 20, 2022, 09:29:59 PM
1: As a newbie in crypto investment, it is good to buy cryptocurrency on a DCA (Dollar cost averaging) basis.

No. Not again. Just no!
As a newbie, one should never invest in random crypto currencies. That's like flushing the money down the toilet.
As a newbie, one should DCA bitcoin, not "crypto".

One should get advanced/seasoned in this before he adventures into the jungle of altcoins and worthless projects. A newbie cannot spot obvious scams, and in order to have a chance in "crypto", one will need much more than that. And maybe, when he understands what's all this about, he will understand that it's rather counterproductive to spend time with 99.9% of altcoins.
2472  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Microstrategy purchased again 301BTC. Is this a sign? on: September 20, 2022, 02:10:25 PM
You can notice that most of the time Michael Saylor announced that they purchased Bitcoin recently usually turn out to a sudden dump after the news release just like what happened today.

There’s really no clear logic behind if you are expecting a TA or FA on this kind of post. Just the common social media meme for Saylor purchased.

There are plenty of trader wannabes who think that MicroStrategy buying 300 BTC has a tangible (upwards) short time effect on the price. They don't even know that the purchase is long gone when they see the announcement.
I guess that there other speculators who try to take advantage of the trader wannabes.

This is just an ironic post if you are not familiar on how the social media reply on all of the tweets of Michael Saylor.

This is in Bitcoin Discussion and not in Trading, not everybody is day trading, not everybody cares what happens with the price every minute. Ironically...
2473  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Microstrategy purchased again 301BTC. Is this a sign? on: September 20, 2022, 01:44:40 PM
Everyone knows this is the ultimate bearish indicator.

In what universe a company would buy bitcoin if they'd expect the price to fall deeper?
All your logic would make sense if MicroStrategy would have been starting to sell; but they're buying.

Is it a sign? Probably. I see it as a sign that they expect the bear market come to an end in the near future. And since also the historical data (on BTC price) tells the same, I'm not surprised.
2474  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Education Resources to learn bitcoin from scratch on: September 20, 2022, 01:40:04 PM
mk4 made a great list, but I will add one short and easy to read (imho) "paper" that should be there: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

I also have a (maybe rhetorical) question to OP: how comes that it took you 8 months and almost 50 posts to ask the right question?  Cheesy
2475  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm seriously considering starting a website to stop Greenpeace's bitcoin FUD. on: September 20, 2022, 01:12:40 PM
Some ideas:
1. you may want to make this more like a blog than a "simple" page, the new articles now and then being something that may help attracting more readers (since, as franky1 said, else people may not reallycome back).
2. please - for the final version(s) - check the spelling; one small mistake is at the end:
Quote
Write to your MP, senator, or member of Congress explaining the benefits of Proof of Work mining fr the environment.
3. maybe it would help to not "demonize" Greenpeace, hence soften the tone against them / say that they were probably misled

Can someone give me a list of well-known bitcoin twitter accounts that people should follow? This is going to go on the website.

I will add to your list:
Lopp
CZ (but I don't know if he would care)
maybe also Nicolas Dorier

Do newspapers matter?
bitcoin magazine
btc times
2476  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gambling Companies and Bitcoin on: September 20, 2022, 01:02:47 PM
Or is it possible that gambling companies are allowed to accept any forms of tangible or non-tangible objects so long as they deem it valuable to their operations? Take for instance, casino chips and tokens are used to play games in the tables and on slot machines. So is this the case of Bitcoin too?

It's not only gambling companies. Just look at payment processors that accept bitcoin and give to the shop, by its choice, bitcoin or fiat. I think it's the same situation.
How they do it? I don't know. It may be something similar to what the crypto exchanges are allowed to do (they also accept both fiat and crypto for deposits and withdrawals), or it may be something similar to what pawn shops are allowed to do (accept anything they consider valuable).
So while it may look strange, I think that they're OK on this. I think that their strange residency is related to the gambling license, not the handling of the coins.
2477  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Buying Positive reviews!! on: September 20, 2022, 12:17:11 PM
is normal thing to push our reputation. the biggest companies buy review me too is good and bring me more money.  and i will continue to buy more reviews for my busienss.

As it was said in your topic, you should have been asking for honest reviews, not for good reviews.
Asking for honest reviews is OK and if people are paid for it they may be rather positive anyway.
Asking for positive reviews is shady and can easily get to scams, hence I agree with OP's tag.

I just figure that I don't have to buy revies I ve thousands of customers and only y message old customer to leave reviews they do it.

This is something you should have done from start.
2478  Economy / Reputation / Re: Joeperry owned by a hacked ? DT2 on: September 20, 2022, 09:03:43 AM
I don't know where the change occurred but if it did in 2015 then it means that all the ratings he received are from the actual owner and not inherited from the former one.

There's a long gap indeed in his posting - between 2014-07-14 and 2018-02-17 from what I see - when anything could have happened.
But this is so long ago I also agree: his current actions / ratings tell he's okay; he has none from before 2018.


So I won't rule out it's an account that has changed hands, but imho it has proven to still be worthy.
I won't also rule out that OP may have been selling the account to current owner back then, hence having evidence (and I also don't rule out he wants/wanted to squeeze some more money off joeperry for the info he might have).
But imho it doesn't matter. Not in this case.
2479  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm seriously considering starting a website to stop Greenpeace's bitcoin FUD. on: September 20, 2022, 08:23:24 AM
1 - Should I start a counter-petition demanding the White House drop its anti-Proof of Work bills?

I think that you should do this only as a later step.

3 - Will people link to this site so that it quickly ranks on Google? In other words, will people actually use the site? (I've been in the SEO rat race for almost two years - I can tell you that it's impossible to get pageviews unless there are people actually willing to use the site).

I have no problem doing a couple of searches for it, visit it now and then, and also post the link a couple of times on Twitter if that helps.
Also if you think it helps I can add an URL into my personal test.
2480  Economy / Economics / Re: California sues Amazon, alleging its policies cause higher prices everywhere on: September 20, 2022, 07:38:13 AM
Is this a case of good competition, or are other motives at play?

Amazon is so big it can pretty much act like a monopoly. If you want to sell at Amazon, you may have to lower the price or even sell at a loss. Many think that their products being sold at Amazon is a commercial by itself.
So it's a complicated issue and I would not be surprised that everybody who sells at a loss at Amazon, will try to recover that loss somewhere else.
Maybe this is what "California" is implying? I don't know. It will be a very interesting case, however.
