261  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do people easily get scammed on the internet? on: October 23, 2019, 09:15:05 AM
There are a few main factors:

1. GREED, always at first place
2. FOMO (Fear of Missing out), because of FOMO most people skip the part where they need to make due diligence before giving away cash/coins
3. Inexperience/Lack of knowledge. "A friend of mine told me he's a crypto-guru and this project is pure gold. I don't know what I'm doing, but I will give my money to get rich overnight!" attitude.

When you combine all factors, you have a very easy targets.

I can’t understand - is there a key in this puzzle? Or do I just need to substitute values and iterate over combinations?
Yep. The other half of the key is on the puzzle above. You need a generator app to decode that. Doing it manually might take you a day to decode it. I check the addresd and still no decode it.


I don't have time to finish it now, as I have a better-paid job to do.

Great! Thanks for this idea which sounds logical but I guess I need to port this code and test it using Python which I'm now beginning to learn and could play and tinker this and see if it works! Even though I may not be the one to solve this first, I would gladly take this as a challenge to better hone myself.


Here are two tutorials on how to port it in Python:

https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/recursion

https://realpython.com/python-thinking-recursively/

Or just use the example and change parameters from numbers to string.

Lol, that's not how credit card works.

If you wan't to put in money, then it's prepaid or debit card or a vcc (virtual credit card)

Actual credit cards are issued by banks and they will evaluate your credit scores and then give you a spending amount.

Nope,

In many countries, you could 'block' money in a savings account to get 60%-80% as a credit account/card.

That's a prepaid card, can't book a hotel or rent a card with it!
I need a credit card.

I don't know a single credit card option like this. Many companies are offering DEBIT Visa/MCs, but not Credit. You CAN rent a car or Hotel with a Debit card, those are NOT Prepaid.
Check Wirex for example. They have DEBIT EUR/US/GBP Visa's.

While Cryptopia was operational, ETN was on day-to-day arbitrage with Kucoin and it was interesting. But I lost any interest in ETN after the Cryptopia hack.

Also, ENT is still losing money and it's far away from become profitable.

266  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How much is an Bitcoin option trader's salary? Is an affiliate more profitable? on: October 21, 2019, 06:53:17 PM
How much do you think is reasonable when a trader earn per month?

In the negatives. It's not new information that majority of traders of various types of assets(especially short-term traders and definitely especially leverage traders) lose money. On eToro itself, they claim that "75% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider". I don't expect a different number on other platforms.

All CFDs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_for_difference) providers are regulatory obligated to publish this percentage. BUT this is for retail investors, e.g. people who in general don't know what they are really doing.

OP's question/answer is about professional traders on salary. They are on salary, no matter they are losing or not. However, they will not get this salary for long if they are losing traders...

From what I know, most companies are offering relatively small salaries + % based on results.
267  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Binance Earns More Than $20,000 per Day Overcharging on Transaction Fees on: October 21, 2019, 06:21:18 PM
It's half-true.
At Binance, and any other exchange, fees are not only moving coins to your wallet. But to move it on deposit, to move balances in-between, etc.

Still, it's unreasonably high and as I wrote 2-3 weeks ago: Exchanges are making more profit from withdrawal fees than trading fees when you are trading small. But if we want to use Binance liquidity and stability, we have to accept those fees.
268  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bittrex International shutting down services from 31 countries. on: October 21, 2019, 05:59:12 PM
I checked the list and seem all countries, except BiH may be, are at 'high risk of terrorism, war or under sanctions'.
This means Bittrex was most probably forced to exclude them due to regulatory concerns.

IMO more and more of the big names will implement such lists in the near future.
269  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What countries are best in opening offshore business bank accounts? on: October 21, 2019, 05:01:55 PM
Incorporating your business in another country can be very advantageous, and offshore banking for your business can be too. There is potential to save on taxes, increase privacy, receive tax breaks, and much more. If you are doing business outside your country of residence, having an offshore bank account for your company is even more beneficial, helping you save money on currency conversions. Do you know of more countries that needs to be added to the list?

Opening an offshore banking account can be a good way to exploit the loophole available to anyone especially in savings on taxes and getting away from the interference of the government. In other words, this can be used as a great leverage for many economic benefits. No wonder we heard of news of popular and rich people taking advantage of this good option. Naturally, many people frown upon this option and they are seeing politicians doing this as hiding something from the public. I am also sharing this list here which identifies 5 countries like Cayman islands, Switzerland, Singapore, Germany and Belize.

Due auto-tax info exchange, If you are an EU citizen, opening a Bank Account in another EU country (incl. Switzerland) will not save you any taxes, nor you will exploit any loopholes. It will not work even for most non-EU citizens. So half of those destinations are not real offshoring.

However, if you need access to the EU market, it's an option. Then Estonian bank account is even an easier option.

I notice the program in August when they start it.

IMO it's just a clever marketing and getting millennials involved through Instagram.
'Impact' is a strong statement for 3 000 trees, but let's hope they will plant another 300 000.
271  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The new (BTCF) bitcoin fast very good coin with huge potential on: October 21, 2019, 01:59:47 PM
LOL
any coin that uses the name of bitcoin in its own name is automatically a shitcoin. it doesn't even require any thinking, if they believed in their project they would have never tried to steal another coin's name and use its popularity to get some small pumps!

Couldn't agree more Smiley

(BTCF) bitcoin fast or whatever similar sh*tcoins are only after quick money with quick pumps. No sane person should ever give it's coins on 'projects' like (BTCF) bitcoin fast



...

Nope. That is wrong right there. There is Another coin under the name of 'Bitcoin Cash'.

BCH had/have significant support from the community as an idea - BEFORE the fork. You can't compare some random Bitcoin NameShitcoin with BCH...
272  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO projects with very good rating on: October 21, 2019, 01:30:13 PM
I don't trust any ratings online anymore. Most of them are paid and not real.

What I'm looking in an ICO is see MVP, live and working product. Something that could really make a change. Not just empty words with fancy pictures.
273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IEO not forced you to hold their token on: October 21, 2019, 12:15:53 PM
I know binance is the most popular exchange, but binance and other exchanges such as okex, huobi, ...and  others forced you to hold their token to participate in IEO, so i list exchanges do not forced you to buy token.
What you think about this exchanges, do you suggest it?
If you do not suggest it, or think it is not good let me know the reason?

lattoken
probit
lbank
p2pb2b
coineal
vindax
exmarket
Finexbox
Sistemkoin


This what i know, you also can add exchange not forced you to buy token not listed here.
Some of this exchanges i use it, and some of it i did not.

None of the listed exchanges are good for business. And if an IEO is not accepted anywhere else, or voluntarily choose an exchange from the list... the IEO is not worth investing too in 99% of the cases.

IMO everybody who values its coins must stay away from those exchanges above.

275  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: The safest DEX exchange? on: October 20, 2019, 07:18:49 PM
Most of the DEX's are save as you can operate with the smart-contract and withdraw your funds even if the site is down. Here is one example:

https://medium.com/bitfwd/how-to-bypass-idex-exchange-frontend-and-two-cents-on-meta-transaction-7a9ff21d707

I'm now avoiding IDEX as they implemented KYC. IF you need to pass a KYC, better do it on exchanges like Binance and OKex.

Currently, I'm using these: 

DDEX - most likely
Bancor - for instant swaps
Forkdelta - most unlikely due total lack of liquidity on most tokens.
276  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IEO exchanges not required KYC on: October 20, 2019, 05:26:05 PM
KYC is mostly due to regulations and AML policies.

I don't know any stable exchange offering IEO to allow non-KYC participants. And even if you found one, I suggest you be very very careful due - It's a regulation requirement investors to pass KYC.
While you could use most of the big exchanges for crypto-only deposits/withdraws on low limits without KYC, IEO are into another regulation frame.

277  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: TETHER (USDT) on ERC20 on: October 20, 2019, 04:06:53 PM
Unexpected...

IMO Tether is the most controversial stable-coin with all legal cases, unproven fiat reserves and so on. But here I see only positives because current USDT withdraws fees are crazy.
ERC-20 transfer will make it more accountable, fast and hopefully will lower the transaction fees.
278  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: With this possibly upcoming crisis in mind... on: October 20, 2019, 03:29:04 PM
With this possibly upcoming crisis in mind, what you guys think about investing in stable coins standardised with fiats?
Is is even a thing, that they will sink like a stone, just like fiats will? Are there any mechanisms that can protect such stablecoins?
Or maybe, I have a misconception of the reasons for their existence and nobody is actually hoarding st.coins?

In case of a real financial crisis, not just a recession, the BTC is more like to soar in fiat valuation.
So there is no need to invest/convert to any stable coins unless you want your portfolio to lose fiat value.

However, in short-term, due to huge and sudden price drops in BTC/USD pairs, it's not a bad idea. I already converted part of my coins into TUSD and alts.

Ether Thieves doesn't load on an old Brave Browser. The main page shows some content (pics/text) without CSS loading and so on and then goes white blank.

The game is properly loading on Chrome but I don't have a Metamask there.

You may want to test it more extensively Smiley

I prefer to make my own preparation.
A small amount, kept on Exchanges most propably will vanish.
