Correct.

Most people who pile in have no understanding of it. All they dream of is a rising number so believe that any offering by anyone who looks faintly official will add to that cos that's 'what it does'.

It's odd how they choose to blind themselves to the humongous losses that preceded the absolute peak they usually arrive at.

Never heard of it.

99.99 times out of ten when there's an 'opportunity' for arbitrage it means there's something fucked up about the exchange and money can't get in or out. If you could move money in and out the gap would evaporate in a matter of seconds. No one leaves free money on the table.

I have zero idea of the ins and outs of how it works and I've no idea how many people bought it rather than claimed it or whatever but this person is reporting a 99.93% loss in three days if you'd actually bought Hex - https://twitter.com/inversebrah/status/1205881578338930688

Not bad. I think it can do better yet.

I get 50gb a month free from windscribe and it works perfectly. Their ethos is that you'll run out and cough up. I think you get 20 these days.

I wouldn't use a random VPN found in some app store. There's too much room for taking the piss.

I switch countries all the time and am often on a VPN.

I've never had any trouble so far and have never been shown the door.

It seems very rare that people report the evil IP thing. I'd be curious to know how common it is.

I presume cryptotalk is waay more paranoid about being gamed so they'll be a lot stricter.

Various relatives of mine have fucked members of his family and his dad keeps trying to fuck another relative of mine at the moment. The only question Boris ever asked another one over dinner was what school she went to and he totally blanked her after that when it wasn't elitist enough.

Rachel seems alright. All the other Johnsons are fucking freaks including our PM.

Another relation was a rather notable PM's personal doctor and their reign was fuelled by the 'concoctions' he used to inject in their arse. The PM would rocket out into the commons and slay it. He used his job to keep his wife in the morphine addiction she was accustomed to.

I've never had a moment's trouble. I verified there about five years ago and there's never been a squeak since. If it were with Bitstamp I would've had to have provided 3 months of uploads from my brain along with 50-90 polaroids of various objects inserted in my pussy by now.

I'd never give a paper wallet myself. I've seen plenty of tales from people having relatives calling them up a few years after handing them over with no idea what's happened to them. Even if you back it up and keep it there's no guarantee they won't leave it lying somewhere for someone else to pick up and have away.

For my nearest and dearest this Christmas I will be using BTC to buy a gift that will transform their lives - 1 kilo of the purest Afghan heroin.



I'd also never give anyone a funded coin. There's absolutely no way of backing that up and they may inadvertently chuck it away. I've learnt over time that it's pointless giving something you value to someone who won't. There's no end to the slackness and disrespect they'll demonstrate towards it.

Both parties believe they're in a much stronger position than before so they're both going to rebuff whatever the other suggests.

The SNP have mixed up the desire for independence with not being Labour or Conservative which is probably a much bigger factor in most of the votes for them.

I'd love it if Scotland did tell England to piss off but it's a very lengthy shot indeed.

Don't you need a decent exchange to do that? Give it a few more months and it'll be less than nowhere.

It's also a double stain on Circle's already laughable rep. Spend hundreds of millions, run it down, sell it to a lying prick who'll do whatever he wants with it. They have a teensy bit of duty towards the thousands of customers who may be hanging on but that appears to not have crossed their mind for a second.

Us Brits are too scared to make major sells into GBP so the idea of a direct exchange for a house is very attractive. The GBP bit, or rather that amount of it, would turn off most potential interest from Bitcoin fans because it's still in the hundreds of thousands.

They may as well sell the full amount and open up the entire housing market for themselves as it'll be a similar amount of hassle and worry.

If I were doing this and had a need to partially receive fiat I'd call Bitpay and sound them out. They operate in the UK and have done stuff like this in the past.

And I don't get that wallet weirdness either.

I wouldn't trust them not to throw a hissy fit. I've seen many a thread like this - https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/8119bu/warning_do_not_use_vpn_with_coinbasegdax/

It's also easy to forget you're using a VPN. I regularly use the inbuilt Opera VPN to nick films and that place's default location appears to be Ukraine which is not on their approved list. One mistaken login and it may be account closure time.

By this point if anyone out there really does still fall for that then I welcome the removal of their money and into other hands. It's only matter of time before they lose it so they may as well choose the first opportunity that presents itself.

Yes. This is pure cookie cutter scamming. The same thread seems to pop up every few weeks without fail and it's ALWAYS to some external contact source where they no doubt take you out the back and give you a good seeing to.

If you look around this forum there's a tiny number of mentions of it beyond mindlessly dropping it in as the solution to everyone's problems. Perhaps the creation of a board would foster more proper discussion. It certainly doesn't deserve one based on what I'm seeing at present.

Is there an equivalent on another site somewhere?

I wouldn't throw huge resources at rigging something like that. For starters they'll be able to tell it was a huge rig. And your shitcoin may prove to be shit and they'll tell you to go away.

I guess this is less of an issue with a cut and paste like a ERC20 token but exchanges will have seen every single attempt to game them in the book.

I wonder if any listings of that nature haven't been rigged. If your coin is wonderful and people want it then they lose money by not listing it without all that.

I've been reading up recently about the lifestyles I would least want. I have decided a fella named Ashley Ryder has won the prize.

I'm sure he's lovely but his full time job is sticking things up his arse. On week nights he skewers himself on a traffic cone in a late night show in Soho. Rest of the time he gets fisted up to the elbow on camera. I hope it brings him joy all the same.

NOTHING goes up my arse. If there's the slightest hint of a bit of bog roll making it up there by mistake I call the police on myself.

And no component of me goes up anyone else's. I have zero idea how anal sex became the must do for today's youngsters. Any woman who's ever suggested it to me got a sock full of pound coins round the head.

Looks like it's nothing but profit share. So you'd need to trust them to stay open for long enough to earn a return on what you paid out which is a couple of years and for them to continue to pay you out.

I can't see any mention of the tokens themselves having any actual value after buying them.

Maybe this is the same person - https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/e9z11e/hitbtc_do_not_respond_to_tickets_frozen_a_huge/?sort=confidence

but there's an interesting post here suggesting something I hadn't heard of before - https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/e9z11e/hitbtc_do_not_respond_to_tickets_frozen_a_huge/fan86o4/

Verifying with some sort of parent company and then Hitbtc responding. Dunno if it works or not.
