Anyone have insight on this?
263  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin address change if i copy paste on: July 31, 2022, 12:34:12 AM
can you copy/paste cause any malware or that is not possible?

Also just noticed it, but neteller seems to have a very high spread difference for buy/sell btc?  There is like a one thousand dollar plus spread?  That is normal?


Anyone can confirm this?  So never buy btc from neteller and only sell btc due to this huge spread?  is there that big of a spread on neteller?

is it possible for someone to copy/paste you a btc address for you to send to... but when you copy an paste btc address... somehow that causes virus or malware or keylogger?  That seem to be one reason to not want to copy/paste when someone send you a btc address.  But that is not possible right?  Because if it was malware or virus or keylogger, then the btc address they post would be more like a link that you click on?


 


possible or not?  imagine you want to trade btc for someone else bank funds... they copy and paste you the btc address on messenger or text... when you copy and paste it to nano ledger or whatnot, that possible?

267  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What would you do if you are me on: July 11, 2022, 07:25:11 AM
thoughts on bitdefender vs kaspersky total?
268  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why beginners should pay attention to their privacy on: July 10, 2022, 12:08:36 AM
With the issue of privacy today it is more complicated every day, for my part, as I am not a specialist in computer science or cybersecurity, I use very simple techniques, but they can be useful to many.
You've made a good start, but you can go further:

- Multiple email addresses, which do not coincide with different platforms. Example my personal Gmail account does not match my Gmail account on my cell phone. (I know that the same if they wanted to link me).
Multiple email addresses is a must, but avoiding Google is also a must. You should considering moving to a more privacy respecting provider. Even better, use different providers for the different addresses to prevent a single provider linking your accounts via IP addresses, browser fingerprinting, etc.

-Never use chrome (except when there is no other option left for some compatibility).
If you need to use a chromium based browser for compatibility issues, then the best one to use is Ungoogled Chromium.

Most are more dangerous than walking without one. There is a documentary (by a Spaniard) that shows how most of the (paid) VPNs belong to the same person and they all have ties to the IDF in Israel.
VPNs serve some specific purposes and uses, but anonymity is not one of them. Consider Tor instead.



What email woul dyou recommend besides google?
269  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do I completely, and I do mean completely hide my tracks on the internet? on: June 29, 2022, 10:18:42 PM
is tor only good enough?  So any free vpn is no good?

What about for us players or us players that travel to other countries?
272  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What would you do if you are me on: June 06, 2022, 02:41:47 AM
Yes im using windows 10.  But i am using kaspersky total as i paid for it since i heard its better than the free windows defender.  Yes im aware you yourself are your computer's av protection.  But what if you accidentally click on a link or visit a site that maybe is dangerous by accident?  Or if you open an attachment or preview an attachment or download an attachment by accident?  does kaspersky total or other paid av protect you more than the free windows defender?



Well my main laptop pc which uses windows 10, its my main laptop where i use it for financials, crypto wallets and exchange login etc.  i use a separate laptop... a chromebook where i do everything else such as stream porn but also download porn videos and pictures and this isn't from the main big name free porn streaming sites but more like forums where posters upload porn videos and picture galleries so those could easily contain malware/keylogger and virus correct?  But doing this on a chromebook is safe correct?  Heard some people say you can't get malware on a chromebook but if you do, you could reset it, then your chromebook would be fresh?  Anyone who has a chromebook could tell me if that is true or not?  Also would stream tv and sports from those streaming sites on it.  So thoughts on that?  Been doing this for a while on an old chromebook and haven't had any issues on it but of course im not doing any financial things on it.  




Again, i want a separate laptop where i can do all these things and not be concerned of me accidentally clicking something.  But i want to most importantly, download and keep a porn collection of videos and picture galleries on my laptop.  Because a chromebook doesn't have much space, i use an external hard drive that i connect to this chromebook and then send the downloaded videos to it to free up more space on my chromebook.  So i then use my chromebook again to later on download more porn videos and stream porn and tv and sports through those streaming sites.  But i make sure i never connect that external hard drive with all the downloaded porn files to anything but the chromebook since it might contain malware.  is there a way to check this somehow without risking it infecting another machine?  Also thoughts on this?




What about getting another windows laptop but then creating a virtual machine?  Would that also work as well or better stick with a chromebook in my situation?  But you agree my main laptop that i use for the financials and crypto and exchange login, make sure don't do anything else on it... including don't try turning this main windows pc into a virtual machine right?



The thing is im planning to get a new chromebook... but should i instead just get a windows laptop instead but turn it into a VM?  That way i could still do the same things on it like a chromebook... but now i could also log out of that account, and then log into another windows pc account on that same new windows pc and other things completely related to the profile account that i use for downloading porn and streaming porn and from sketchy sites?  is there any way malware/keylogger/trojan that i might have downloaded from downloading those porn videos to my laptop or streaming... it could somehow get to the other profile?  Heard mixed opinions on this such as its possible but hard but can happen?  Also heard the term sandbox mentioned.  do you or others have advice on this?

Anyone else have input on this?
274  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How can i earn a passive income with Altcoins? on: June 06, 2022, 01:39:01 AM
Best site to earn passive income on stablecoins like usdc or usdt?  And how much percentage would that be?

276  Other / Archival / Re: Announcing Wasabi Wallet 2.0 on: June 06, 2022, 01:25:24 AM
you need to download the program though right?  So you are trading btc for physical cash in these situations or do people do bank transfers or wires?  So the dencentralized exchange needs to be downloaded as oppose to just visiting the site?  What rates ido they offer compared to say coinbase or gemini.  Got to assume you are paying more in fees for this?  i see payment methods in that picture include zelle and money order.  But who typically pays more?  The person selling or buying btc for zelle or money order?


277  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What would you do if you are me on: June 04, 2022, 07:56:24 PM
Meant if you go stream porn, tv, movies from those sites online that are free.  Or if you download porn movies and porn pictures from random porn forums?  does av protect you from that or not?
278  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin address change if i copy paste on: June 04, 2022, 07:53:49 PM
So having kaspersky total and then clicking on a phishing link even though you don't enter anything would infect your pc just like that or not?


What about those youtube comments like those that seem to be viruses from like bot accounts?  What happens there?
279  Other / Archival / Re: Announcing Wasabi Wallet 2.0 on: June 04, 2022, 07:50:33 PM
Then how exactly are you suppose to cashout your funds to your us bank account then such as with coinbase or gemini?
280  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Converting Neteller to BTC With Exchanges? on: June 04, 2022, 07:48:40 PM
But could you cash out the crypto though to your own wallet?
