A $1000 spike in a single day and people are already beginning to claim that Bitcoin is ready to go to the moon (as usual, if I can say). I'm sure they started a festival on Reddit and Twitter.
I haven't watched the related news or the BTC price for a week or more so I don't know what's hapened but a suddent rise like this without any specific reason doesn't last long usually. Don't get your hopes big because you could be very disappointed in some days (or hours)
The last 30 days or more the price was crawling on the $9k line and suddently since this week end(?) BTC starts to wake up, with a 10% the last 24h? When was the last time it hapened? And what happened after? I wouldn't be susprised if by Friday we get a suprise with a nice drop. Doesn't matter if we stay in the $9k range but still.

Old news from last month, there are several topics in the forum. And we're still at the same point: => a rumorBetween a rumor and the reality, a decade can happen, specially in the crypto industry. While a lot of people seem excited, it wil be funny if finally it's just an IOU BTC, not much different than with the banks.. It's like when companies make an annoncement only to pump the price in the stock market. I suspect they do the same with a "potential" vaccine for the coronavirus ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Unfortunately, many illegal activities involving Bitcoin can make institutional investors change their minds. Hopefully from now on can reduce the number of negative things such as illegal money laundering and hacking attacks. So you can make institutional investors increase the amount of its investment in Bitcoin.
The speech about Bitcoin and illegal stuffs can be heard only with the masss media and institutional investors don't listen to this, otherwise they'd all be poor. Only the low information voters do. In another word, they don't care about what is negatively say. On another side, the US dollar is the most used currency for illegal things, yet you can see it doesn't stop them to trade USD with HTF. Argumenting with BTC and criminal activities is a double standard to me. It was funny 5 years ago when it was used to criticize BTC but no more

@elabor77 On ne peut pas trop comparer une plateforme d'échanges avec des cartes prépayées, c'est pas du tout la même solution, avec des infrastructures differentes et tout ca. Il faut bien compter le cout de la carte, la commission du partenaire, et tout le reste. C'est un peu comment comparer l'envoi du lettre (avec le cout du timbre et de l'enveloppe) et un email. Sinon, J'ai commende une carte chez Wirex Ils sont a singapore, un de mes amis kiwi en a une et ca marche super bien.
Tu dois te tromper je crois que l'entreprise est en Angleterre edit:c'est bien ca Wirex Limited (CRN 09334596), whose registered office is 34-37 Liverpool St, London EC2M7PP United Kingdom ah ? Moi ma carte viens de singapore. Et les limite de depense sont exprimes en SGD mensuel / annuels ©2020 Wirex Pte Ltd (UEN 201731976E), whose registered office is 3 Temasek Avenue, #17-00 Centennial Tower, Singapore 039190. https://wirexapp.com/enAh ok, ils doivent avoir plusieurs bureaux et comme tu vis en NZ tu dois être "rattaché" à celui de Singapore ou quelque chose comme ca? En tout cas, même sur des articles de news ils en parlent comme une fintech anglaise. En passant, je viens de voir que Wirex est maintenant membre principal de Mastercard (ce qui lui permettrait d'émettre des cartes Mastercard) https://www.presse-citron.net/crypto-monnaie-mastercard-noue-un-accord-historique-avec-wirex/

Sorry for the late update. Added, thank you. Let me know if you find another scam
I'll sort the list of scams alphabetically to make it easier to identify. I know it's a bit of a mess right now.

It's always funny to see that once their topic is moved from Beginners & Help to the off-topic board (most of the time the topics moderated are moved there), nobody is interested anymore to participate in the discussion they take part in. All participants leave suddenly including @OP. Great mentality... Before... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia3.giphy.com%2Fmedia%2FB81XkL3dtnWTe%2Fgiphy.gif&t=663&c=qFTCpXKJhIAZBQ) After... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia1.tenor.com%2Fimages%2F2ab25debe9584c2493224286c2397bec%2Ftenor.gif%3Fitemid%3D11532563&t=663&c=_Twf17Qng7rYtQ)

@o_e_l_e_o with this issuer the limit is up to $2000 you need a phone number. For anything above (and up to $10k per day) you need to scan your ID. Ahh, perfect. Do you know if that is $2,000 per day, or a lifetime limit of $2,000 per unverified phone number? $2,000 lifetime per phone number, but you can always bypass the limitation by buying Lyca mobil SIM card (you can use it about 2 weeks before to be forced to send your ID to continue to use but in UK and NL there is no such, and users sell them here), a virtual phone number or anything else. The nightmare starts when the machine needs to scan your ID.

I also saw this viabtc bitcoin transaction accelerator before and recently I just tried it and not working. It says that something like service is not available at the moment. When I am trying to do some acceleration in my some bitcoin transaction, all of them are failed using viabtc, I think that service of transaction accelerator is not working anymore?
Because the service has a limit of 100 transactions per hour, and seeing how the service is popular you can guess everyone is constantly trying. Not even talking about people who automate it with bots/scripts to be sure to be the first. I never managed to be in so stopped to try. 100 TXs/hour is like saying "Hey, I have 2 masks for the whole country" ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) And when they will be tired to be abused they will probably close the service. (reducing to 100/h was already a sign) @pooya87 post is right by the way

Anyone know a reliable BCH mixer, or are all BTC mixers? Can't find any with quick googling.
Sorry I don't, all the ones I know are either closed or scams (i.e. bestmixer, coinmix.to, etc). I may be wrong but Electron Cash has a coinshuffle feature, an implementation of Coinjoin to mix several transactions but without a 3rd party ( see here about CoinShuffle). I think there is even a wallet called "Coinshuffle" but think about doing your own research because I'm not Bcash fan and don't really know the wallet Edit: - the coinshuffle feature with Electron cash https://news.bitcoin.com/how-to-shuffle-your-bch-coins-like-a-boss/- the wallet is called cashshuffle not coinshuffle https://cashshuffle.com/

In the thread itself? Yes, it's full of shit accounts. From users joining to make 2-3 posts in the thread only, to users coming back after ~10 months to make 26 posts in the same thread. Or the one coming back from 2018, just for Zorro coin (the name is funny btw, I even started to sing the song). There are 5-6 accounts feeling the topic with a lot of shits. It looks like several posts have deleted before but they seem to continue their trash. I don't even need to visit the website, it must be the same quality as their ANN thread Edit:OK, I couldn't resist visiting the website and started to read the WP, saying to myself "hummm.. very similar" https://www.zorrochain.com/ZorroWhitepaper.pdfInspired by the Blockchain architecture and the existing Merkle tree-based signature scheme, we have proposed BPQS, a scalable post-quantum (PQ) resistance digital signature scheme, which is most suitable for Blockchain and Distributed ledger technology (DLT). A unique feature of this protocol is that it can use a dedicated chain or image structure to reduce the cost of key generation, signing, verification, and the size of the signature. Compared with other recent improvements, when a key is used for a reasonable number of signatures, BPQS is better than existing hash algorithms. If necessary, it also supports a rollback mechanism that allows unlimited number of signatures. We provide a specific open source implementation of the protocol, and benchmark it. The latest developments in the field of quantum computing and its threat to classical cryptography have stimulated more interest in post-quantum research Taken and rephrased from Inspired by the blockchain architecture and existing Merkle tree based signature schemes, we propose BPQS, an extensible post-quantum (PQ) resistant digital signature scheme best suited to blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLTs). One of the unique characteristics of the protocol is that it can take advantage of application-specific chain/graph structures in order to decrease key generation, signing and verification costs as well as signature size. Compared to recent improvements in the field, BPQS outperforms existing hash-based algorithms when a key is reused for reasonable numbers of signatures, while it supports a fallback mechanism to allow for a practically unlimited number of signatures if required. We provide an open source implementation of the scheme and benchmark it. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8726842

Y'a quelques comptes Twitter qui se sont fait pirater ce soir, et pas n'importe lesquels. Obama, Coinbase, Bitfinex, Justin Sun, Binance, Apple, Elon Musk, Warren Buffet,Jeff Bezos etc. Certains de ces comptes ont la sécurité 2FA, cela n'a rien empêché. La personne derrière s'est permise de poster un tweet au sujet d'un giveaway de 5000 BTC. Le scam typique que l'on retrouve sur Youtube.Si tu leur envoie des bitcoins, tu reçois ensuite le double ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FEx4tBwW.png&t=663&c=9pzfjqrEB1rirA) ET bien entendu des personnes tombent dans le panneau... https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/bc1qxy2kgdygjrsqtzq2n0yrf2493p83kkfjhx0wlh

Did anyone had any issues with Bitcoins that you sent to exchanges after mixing coins with ChipMixer, and do you have any suggestions about this and advice for reducing this (excluding not using centralized exchanges ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) )? From my experience, never I got trouble and did it more than 1 time. As for the suggestion: making fake transactions. I mean to send bitcoins to yourself to create transaction history (since they scan the lastest transactions). If you add a dozen of "hops" you can be pretty sure to be fine (from centralized exchanges at least)

Congratz @The Pharmacist you're not BTM virgin anymore ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Coincloud has one of the higher fees btw. @o_e_l_e_o with this issuer the limit is up to $2000 you need a phone number. For anything above (and up to $10k per day) you need to scan your ID. To compare, with Shitcoins.club they can buy up to €10k without ID

Ils sont marrant chez Binance. Ils annoncent le lancement de leur carte en Europe avec des "inscrivez vous !" alors qu'en vérité les gens ne peuvent la commander qu'à partir du mois prochain. C'est comme lorsqu'ils ont annoncé le lancement de leur carte (en Mars) alors qu'ils n'avaient pas encore fait l'acquisition de Swipe (le mois dernier?) L'autre qui annonçait y'a 3-4 jours: "I am so excited. I love beta testing products..." je sais pas si les gens se rappellent que la phase beta a commencé il y a 4 mois de cela. La, on dirait qu'ils ont découvert un trésor lol

The website does nothing more than aggregating data publicly available to anyone. If someone thinks it will tell you if the USA is watching you, nope. It simply uses different block explorersand web crawlers with basic privacy observation like Esplora, KYCP, Checkbitcoinaddress.com,...
Saying if an address is "known to surveillance" is also the same for the average Joe

When using such software it is also the user's responsibility to keep up to date with it. Especially since we're talking about money it should be something natural from the user. It's not as if you were installing CCleaner. Vulnerability mostly come from user's faults: - Don't backup their seeds. - Don't secure backup well. - Don't set up a password for their wallet or use too bad/ weak password. - Don't verify wallet - and so forth.
It's not what we call a vulnerability, vulnerability is when someone finds a way to compromise a code/system due to coding/programming errors, software flaws, or whatever... What you describe is the habit problems from users
