Nabasa ko sa ibang article na kasama din ang "traditional money" sa payment methods nila, so malaki din ang chance na hindi ito mapunta sa isang crypto enthusiast.

Hindi lang minsan, almost palagi ^{[unfortunately]}.

Sa tingin ko it's just a coincidence

Interesting video and personally, I have nothing against Ledger but this looks like a design flaw, am I right? I think this could've been prevented ^{[regardless of the data breach]} if there was no room ^{[more compact]} for an additional component...
^{- If the temperature of the device is going to be a concern, then they should probably come up with a new design.}

You forgot to mention its price.

I can help you with that part, but you can also try contacting other escrow providers from the following lists:
^{- Make sure to read the terms, prior to contacting one of us}

• Recommended bitcointalk escrow services
• ₿ LIST ₿ Bitcointalk's ESCROW providers: Ranking & Blacklist ☠ Avoid Scam ☠

I know a couple of free ones (friendica ^[stats] and diaspora ^[stats]) with not very impressive stats ^[IMO] and if you're going to add fees ^{[no matter how small]}, then I'm expecting to see a lot fewer people using it.
^{- Btw, not sure how accurate those stats were, and what I said, doesn't represent the whole community.}

There could be some, but it heavily depends on what sort of data was included in the data breach...
^{- Most of the time, it's not a big issue since it's probably just usernames or emails, but if it includes passwords, credit card details, home addresses, and similar stuff, then you should definitely do something quickly.}

Then it probably has something to do with it ^{[hopefully nothing bad happens on your side]}.

Update:
You're very welcome

Just finished checking my emails and luckily, there was no such a thing on my end.

You might want to check that email through a service like "have I been pwned?" and see what type of result you'll get ^{[just to be sure]}.

I'm not sure about the costs or a reputable repair center in the UK, but there are a few in the US and Europe: Where to fix your Asic miners
^{Note: I prefer to not vouch so kindly DYOR.}

It's a hot topic at the moment, so expect to see a lot of positive or negative news in the coming weeks.

I Believe you're referring to BTCitcoin halving, am I right? I don't think those that are already wealthy, have to rely on BTCitcoin to reach that moment before they'd become richer...
^{- That literally happens to them as we speak.}

It depends...

Care to explain what the first three traps were about and what's the fourth one?

It looks like you've forgotten about the issues that might come with mining investments; It's not always going to be a smooth experience...

e.g.

• Dealing with faulty boards, PSU's and etc... > Shipping them for repair ^{[depending on the situation, it could lead to additional costs]} > Less hash rate.

I haven't checked if that's indeed the case, but I don't think it'll last forever...

You might want to also include screenshots of the conversation that you had with their support ^{[might come in handy]}.
^{- You should've posted this on their "ann thread" instead [more exposure].}

If you decide to do this, the "move" button is in the bottom left corner of the page.

Attracting players shouldn't be the main concern, instead, you should focus more on how you're going to keep them on the server in question and that depends on how simple the whole process is going to be for them.

I'm not a Minecraft player but I've heard about a somewhat similar server before ^{["link" - make sure to check the other links within that article as well]} and I think Minecraft players would probably enjoy having another option in regards to such a server.

In addition to all of the above comments, I'd like to suggest the following as well:

• Remove all of the listed cloud mining websites ^{[9 out of 10 are nothing but a platform that's meant to scam its users]}.
• Remove anything that you haven't successfully received any payments from ^{[quality over quantity]}.

You have a point, but I'm hoping that by reporting them to their registrar, they might suspend their hosting plans ^{[not just their domains]} as well.
^{- Basically, anything to make them think twice before doing such things over and over again, would be great.}

Update:
Just did, thank you

Last week, I thought it'll be around the $35k mark for at least a couple of weeks but I was wrong and based on recent events, I think we're going to see the support level at around $27^[ish]k.
^{- FYI: I have no doubts it'll reach the $100k mark someday but it's not going to happen in a year or two [probably in 2024 - next halving].}

You might want to include your own Telegram username as well:

---

I searched quickly and it appears, it wasn't the first time that someone has either made you a target or impersonated you, so I'd suggest to ditch Telegram and "only" stick to this forum.

Regardless of the latter part, can you take another picture that includes a handwritten note that says "bitcointalk.org", together with one of the paintings?
^{- I'm not accusing you of being a scammer [unfortunately, I've seen scammers trying for less than what normal shipping rates are], but just wanted to make sure that you are indeed the artist [AKA Keerthana ~ (@_thecandidartist_) on IG] who made those beautiful paintings.}

Thank you for the explanations

They should but I have a feeling they'll come up with a workaround in order to "not" give those gains back ^{[I hope I'm wrong]}.

Yes.

Based on that article, if it depreciates, they'll be expecting more BTCitcoin...
^{- I have no doubts they'd impose such a thing, but the same can't be said for the other issue [that's what they do best].}

  Conversely, if the local currency has depreciated, the member gets margin called and has to “pay to the Bank within a reasonable time an additional amount of its own currency sufficient to maintain the value”.

I did some more digging and I believe the following information would come in handy when it comes to reporting them to their registrar ^[Namecheap]:
^{- In case you still haven't reported them, please do so: Submit a ticket > Abuse Reports > Fraud > Fill in the needed data.}

@Theb
I wouldn't label him as a BTCitcoin critic as well and IIRC, it's not the first time that Cointelegraph has used attention-grabbing content/headlines.

@ruthbabe
Regardless of him being one ^{[a BTCitcoin critic]} or not, it's quite normal to see someone changes his stance on something that they don't fully understand ^{[not sure if that's the case here, but there were a few prior to him and I'm sure there will be more in the future]}.

My OCD kicked in as soon as I saw there's a big range in regards to how much he owns; Didn't he disclose everything ^{[why there's still an uncertainty?]}?

I looked around and in addition to mk4's ^[Paxful] and dataispower's ^{[LocalBitcoins - taken from the provided link]} posts and also those you've posted, I found a few more:
^{- I didn't mention eToro because it's no longer an option [link].}

• Binance
  ^{- Found "Mauritius" on the "Supported SMS countries" list.}
• Okcoin
  ^{- Supported countries}
• Kraken
  ^{- Found "Mauritius" on the list of countries that can use "Visa and MasterCard".}

Take note: DYOR prior to using any of the above platforms.
