2601  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More than 50% of bitcoins from Twitter hack have been sent through mixers on: August 01, 2020, 03:43:59 PM
Actually, if you read correctly the blog post from Elliptic.co, it says that only a low percentage has been sent to exchange platforms, but not only, from this low percentage, some bitcoins have also be sent to casinos and merchants.
Quote
a few percent have in fact been spent or cashed-out at exchanges, merchants and gambling services

Looking at the graph it represents about 10% which means ~$12k only. So it's about $12k split between exchanges, casinos, and merchants, a relatively ridiculous amount.

On the top of that, the guy surely sent to exchanges not strict with AML/KYC, maybe accountless exchanges, or the one without KYC, to small to have a surveillance.... Bought a few stuff with merchants not able to block/track those bitcoins or to late because the items have been delivered.
I don't know how casinos work regarding AML, so won't comment, but maybe depositing BTC and then withdraw without playing?

Seeing how big was the hack, getting only $120k is so ridiculous by the way.

Ils ont arrêté un ado de 17 ans qui serait à l'origine de ce hack, il dort maintenant en prison avec 30 chefs d'accusation. De même que l'arrestation de 2 autres personnes à qui l'ado avait acheté des trucs

Par contre ce n'a pas l'air d'être du SIM swapping mais du reverse engineering en appelant les employés de Twitter et se faisant passer pour leur collègues et ensuite obtenir leur identifiants.

Bestmixer.mx≠Bestmixer.io

The guy created a domain name last month with another domain extension to it. It uses the reputation of Bestmixer.io,( which closed last year), and its marketing.

Their clients love them, they say...



However, those comments are part of a topic on Bitcointalk in wich users were rewarded to test bestmixer.io (not bestmixer.mx)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4083317.msg38051021#msg38051021



Press about us: in the same style as above, the articles aren't about bestmixer.mx but the old bestmixer.io

Videos reviews, same here, they talk about bestmixer.io not bestmixer.mx

At the bottom of the page we can see a BTC adress for donation (1DyjvyyWqCvqYsbntuKx57fuRPhTxJF2WL)

The potentially fake site seems to circle around a fixed set of depositing addresses:

1DyjvyyWqCvqYsbntuKx57fuRPhTxJF2WL
1M7NeP7A4e86uEH4CZZR5UwDAeQQdLb8mv
1Bv8y5JjHKmj9TUUKGJuYxcN1TLvTzVRuR
1DTBRRkmSidjRL2XavXSRX9ZdaNGheN5V
1LbW8LXfLxpG9iRaV4QdrvPTrB1WsqurfJ

The first one on the list is also their donation address, which is pretty weird.


The adress was already used with another scam bestmixer.biz

When I do a Google search for "BitcoinMixer.to" (including quotes) it currently returns 75 results the majority of which have titles that begin with either "Popular Bitcoin Mixer in 2020..." or "An Effective Bitcoin Mixer for Anonymizing ...".

Thanks for the tip.

A-Rev
As for bitcoinmixer.to I'm pretty sure it's the same person behind bitcoinmixer.eu since both have the same theme design.

1) Never believe the websites/blogs rewiewing/listing Bitcoin mixers because most of the time they're paid to add scam mixers to their list. They know it's a scam... but money matters. Definetely something you shouldn't rely on.

2) Never believe the pop up message as below, it's just done to attract people, and mixers shouldn't use such feature if they're serious enough with privacy



3) It should be dynamic here, however it's static



4) Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes


5)

The fact that we hold over 5000 BTC should stand testimony to the amount of skin we have in the game. Our reserves are publicly proven on BitcoinTalk. We do not profit by running away with your coins but by rather running longer in the business. If you feel insecure sending large amount of coins, you have the choice of sending money over a longer period of time in a number of transactions instead. The code within the mixer ensure your coins are never mixed with your own coin and sent back. This ensures security, transparency and anonymity

2605  Bitcoin / Press / [2020-07-30] Power plants in Iran can mine Bitcoin on: July 31, 2020, 09:09:45 AM
As the title says, the authorities in Iran authorized the power plants to mine Bitcoin

Of course, they won't spend 100% of their activity to mine cryptos or it will be too huge; they're surely looking for an alternative revenue and avoid U.S. economic sanctions (by the way they have heap electricity there $0.01/KWH)

Quote
power plants in the country could operate as Bitcoin mines “if they comply with approved tariffs" and have the necessary licenses.

I don't get this, power plants are owned and operated by the state there(?), (not like in some countries where it's done by private companies). So they need to grant the licence to themselves, it doesn't make sense to me.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/iranian-authorities-greenlight-power-plants-mining-bitcoin
https://news.bitcoin.com/power-plants-in-iran-authorized-to-mine-bitcoin/

I remember this country where also looking to create a "muslim coin" with other muslim countries (who want to parnter with Iran, not even muslim countries). Look like Iran is more and more looking at cryptocurrencies for alternatives currencies against the dollar supremacy.

Looks like you are fond using cryptoview. I wanted to try the 30days trial. Is it compulsary to input card details upon registration? Im afraid after the free days they will promptly message you forban extension like on Playstore.

Nope, I'm not using it but I will take the free trial. I just visited the website since it triggered my interest and I saw some  screenshots.

I re-visited it this morning and about your question to get the 30-days trial, you don't need to fill your card information. When you sign up you're granted automatically with the full access for a month, and after you need to pay to renew.
It can be paid only with cryptocurrencies, no payment card option.

Details about it are in the TOS, IICRC (or the support center)

2609  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ledger 1 Mln Users Data Under Attack on: July 30, 2020, 11:05:17 AM
...At the same time, I don't think its necessary for Ledger (or any other hardware wallet manufacturer) to keep sensitive information of their customers for long periods of times. I would have expected information to be scrubbed regularly.

I can think of a couple of reasons, the company's accounting since it is supposed to record everything (payment details,date, and so on). And in France companies must conserve such information for a 10-year period.

But also simply to be able to provide assistance to the customer. I mean for example if you have to be reimbursed for your wallet (for x reason), they have to keep a trace of your order (including your name, method of payment or other).

Otherwise how else could they be sure that you actually bought it on their store and not on Amazon for exemple.

It's still a 0.005BTC bonus, whatever if it's in a database or a blockchain, who cares? The @OP didn't have to specify "hey guys, there is a bonus on their database!". It's obvious for everyone to not give such specification and if not they can visit the website to understand
If your boss promises a bonus you don't get it immediately et work later, right?

The bonus concerns the referal program, since when a website offering a bonus won't last and will scam?

Bonjour Les wallets mobiles (dont la société est basée à l'étranger)  doivent être aussi déclarer. ( exemple guarda wallet ,trust wallet ,Argent wallet etcc )

Et tu declares comment exactement? Par exemple Guarda wallet, c'est un non-custodial et tu n'as pas de numero de compte, email, etc. Tu peux même pas mettre ton nom et prénom. Tu mets ta clé privée sur ta feuille d'impots?

Trust wallet c'est aussi un wallet decentralisé, un logiciel que tu télécharge, c'est idem.
C'est comme dire de déclarer son wallet Electrum parce qu'il y a une entreprise basée à l'etranger derriere (bon ok y'a pas d'entreprise derriere mais le principe est le même)
2612  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Buying a domain with name cheap using bitcoin on: July 29, 2020, 09:56:40 PM
Never I sent any document for a KYC compliance. However, I advise you to give real information otherwise a registrar can cancel your domain (you never know if, for example, someone reports you or something else). And if you don't reply to their email asking questions they will directly suspend or cancel your domain.

If the problem is the public WHOIS details, Namecheap offers privacy protection service (WhoisGuard) for free, except for .uk, .ca, and probably .london

Ledger wallet shows your portfolio...of what you store with your Ledger and the apps, not what you have on exchange platforms, it's different.
And compared to Blockfolio, Cryptoview is more advanced, a lot more.
The main feature isn't about monitoring your portfolio but trading on all your platforms from a single place.


...

I didn't know Coimarketcap has something similar and checking the website I see nothing similar. Can you show me the link in case I'm blind?
As for Coinstat, you're totally wrong, the app needs your API keys to connect your account. Here are exemples taken from the FAQ

Some users participate in a thread with 10 pages but they avoid to read and reply to the shit posts. You can for example notice users still having a real/decent discussion with each other, they just can stop other users to posts.
I don't know if others agree with me that signature campaigns bounty managers are somehow responsible of this issue, as they accept counting posts in any thread. Recently, the bm of the signature i am part of required just 2-3 posts in mega threads to be accepted in weekly post count of 25 posts. I think it's a wise move for both, the signature to be visible (as no one usually read posts in mega spam threads), and the forum as well .

 Even in a thread with 3-4 pages you will read users saying a lof of shits (note: expressing a different opinion than other is something else, by 'shits' I mean real shit à la "great project sir"), reapeating what has already been said, give wrong informations, add generic sentences to make their posts longer (<= so pathetic)

If the persons are still rewarded for their stupid posts, of course they won't stop. For sure the BM should be more severe but I can already hear the "I can't check X participants" "I can't read all the contexts of the discussions they posted in"

Of course in most cases, after 40 pages, there is often nothing to add...

And moderators don't have to check every thread to see if it deserves to be locked. It's up to us, users, to report the topic explaining why it should be locked. I did several times and it works

ChipMixer is centralized service which means it is in the strangers hands. Wouldn’t it be better to use any of decentralized solutions offered by either Samourai or Wasabi? What the finest does  ChipMixer have (except there is no need to install something  on someone's device) compared with those wallets that rely on CoinJoin protocol?

Wasabi isn't really a "full" decentralization method to me, I suppose we could call it a hybrid. You execute a decentralized communication with the BTC network using a centralized wasabi coordinator (server) and you have to trust it with the filters.

Centralized mixers are fine for people looking for a "ready to go" solution without bothering with stuff people may not inderstand correctly. They also don't need a minimum of 0.1BTC like it's the case with Wasabi (not everyone has 0.1BTC in the pocket)
