2781  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Binance now supports Philippines Peso (PHP) for P2P Trading. Have you tried it? on: June 15, 2020, 05:56:55 AM
I haven't heard of and used any P2P exchanges that are applicable in the Philippines but knowing that Binance is a big exchange and there's acceptance with our local currency, that's a great step for being recognized in the cryptocurrency space. Maybe other exchanges will follow as well, not just USD, AUD, etc.
Both Bisq and Hodl Hodl supports the Philippine Peso too. Liquidity is just very very low due to both having a bit worse UI/UX. The Binance P2P platform's advantage in this case is just the name, but whatever. At least we get P2P adoption I guess.

Maybe, why Bisq and Hodl Hodl had less attention than the binance accepting P2P of Philippine Peso is that their User Experiences were poor lol Grin I've seen a lot of my friends preferred using Binance as it's features and trading volume is numerous and high. And the time they've accepted my local currency, it's shocking and I'm somehow happy that they require no fees. Binance wins the likes of their customers afterall.

Low liquidity is immediately a turn off with people using a service and it's possible that it's one of the reasons that it's not yet mainstream or being used. You can never question the reputation that Binance has right now but still, it's a win for the local currency.

Indeed. Despite the fact that mk4 has a point that those respectable exchanges already had been accepting PhP, the success of a project (trading platform to be exact) depends on the number of its users and their positive reviews.

2783  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos UI? on: June 12, 2020, 12:12:18 PM
What I find alarming, however, is when new starting casinos simply copy the style sheets and structure of existing casinos, slightly change (eg, only the colors exchange) and so put on the net. This definitely discourages gamblers, as it looks very unprofessional and one could even assume a scam attempt.

Damn, I've looked up on their source code via console and it's not just "seemingly similar", but it really is! Those sites already has a lot of users and been promoted around the forum, and it's suspicious that even their scripts are the same. Are there published records that has something to do with why are they the same?

There are many possible reasons why the sites of some cryptocasinos looks identical: ~

Yes, you listed all was right, and if it was proven, this can be a theft and must be investigated so that its users is knowledgeable. Also, isn't suspicious because every project and gambling sites must have different makers and different scripts as well?

I think this isn't just an issue about why they are the same user interface, this is far more alarming than what we've expected.
2784  Other / Meta / Re: improvement nex dark theme on: June 11, 2020, 02:04:53 AM
this archival post to improvement nex dark theme

The question that keeps bothering me is that, is this safe? Yes, it's just modifying a website's CSS by simply adding its extension, but then it asks for permission to read user's data:
For the "Stylish" (first link you've indicated in the OP that redirects to Stylish Extension)

And for "Stylus" (second link)

It's quite alarming to install such browser extensions especially if it asks such permissions as well. Also, I've looked for other user's review if no one had any suspicion nor had experienced any suspicious events on their devices after they've installed it, yet I've seen some such as, (Stylish and Stylus)

 

Though it is open source and code can be seen through their Github, based on experience, is it safe??
2785  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Timeline ng Pag Hack ng mga BTC Exchanges on: June 08, 2020, 03:51:01 AM
Kase kahit gamiting mn ang HW even sa infected devices hacking hardware wallet is impossible.

Hacking is possible sa kahit anong bagay. Ayan ang natutunan ko recently after kong magkainteres sa Hacking dahil sa boredom ngayong pandemic and sabay na din ng panonood ng "Mr Robot" - kung saan pinakita yung karamihang way kung paano mahack or mapenetrate ang system ng isang company and even security ng isang tao mismo. And if the hardware wallet is infected, part / isa na yun sa mga stages ng hacking, ang Gaining Access stage - kung saan napasok na ng attacker ang system ng HW wallet mo and kulang nalang is kung paano niya gagamitin ang Social Engineering and Phishing para naman sa mga key codes mo.

Kaya kung mapapansin natin ay ganoon na lamang kadali maby pass ang security ng exchange. Hindi dahil sa mahina ang mga technical personnel or yung core, kundi may mga tao o part ng team ang naghahack.

May point ka but then mostly naman ng company employees hindi ganoon kasama and kung ikaw ba hacker na may stable namang job sa isang malaking company gagawin mo pa din ba ang attack? Not sure. Gaya nga ng sinabi ko kanina, hackers also use Social Engineering or sa layman's term sa pinoy is "Pambubudol / Pang-uuto", kung saan it takes even months para makuha ang loob ng tao then the attack is still on focus.

Pwede ring mahack ang accounts ng mga tao even without the exchange being vulnerable. Maraming exchange accounts ang nahahack ng walang kasalanan ung exchange mismo, biggest common method is through phishing attacks.

Yes, this is possible. But then kaya may Two-Factor Authentication lagi as another layer of security measures sa mga exchanges. The thing is, nahack ang Binance hindi lang dahil sa vulnerable ang mga users na ninakawan, kundi dahil despite ng 2FAs nila is nagawa padin ng hackers ma access iyon, how? They have access first on their smartphones. Alam ko it was called Payload (Using Metasploit).

TBH,  I would like to make a thread for your telegram bot that would tackle reviews about it yet I don't see if it was necessary (I think it was because it will boost your bot's users and will surely help them a lot). Could I make one?
Sure. Thanks for the compliments. Smiley

Hey dude, I've made the thread yesterday as what I've requested. I hope it would reach other users so that your masterpiece would help them in their forum activities. It would be nice if you would include my review thread in this thread's main post Cheesy

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5253185.0

I really don't get why they moved it to service discussion as I intended to let most users know about your work. But then its fine, you deserve a badge I guess.

Also, as what giammangiato said

We could ask for special API from theymos. These API could tell us, how many pm to read are there per account.
Without going into details.. I think it's an easy and feasible thing, or not?
it would be a good service for users in my opinion!

I think this is possible yet the flaw's is Data Privacy, as the API would require password input and I think bots are not that capable to use such informations without being penetrated or leaked. But if the API would rather use redirecting link that can be PM on user's account or a code, I think it's an option.

2788  Economy / Service Discussion / [REVIEW] @BTTSuperNotifier_bot and why should we use it! on: June 04, 2020, 05:16:50 AM
Disclaimer: This thread is intended to promote and be a thread of reviews of @BTTSuperNotifier_bot, given approval by the maker - TryNinja, himself.
TBH,  I would like to make a thread for your telegram bot that would tackle reviews about it yet I don't see if it was necessary (I think it was because it will boost your bot's users and will surely help them a lot). Could I make one?
Sure. Thanks for the compliments. Smiley

As we all know, maintaining a continuous conversation and concrete exchange of ideas here in the forum takes time as there are no feature that could tell whether or not you are mentioned by someone or someone did a quote on one of your posts. Because most of us (I myself included), replies on a thread then manually searches if our replies had been quoted or questioned by someone else... But not anymore!

Recently (May 16 2020 to be exact), @TryNinja made a Telegram bot that offers and allows you to get notified for every mentions, topic replies, merit updates, and more to come! He also mentioned that there are only 91+ (shockingly yes!) users that registered on the Bot. In which, I was shocked because it helped my a lot in maintaining a conversation I started in a thread and sees whether someone is talking about me.

Also, it even supports my local language! (Filipino)

Now after you've installed telegram (or if you already have one!) Go check out one of TryNinja's masterpiece! It will surely help you a lot (if i could say extremely a lot, then I would!). Then come back at this thread and reply here your reviews, and let's promote this to other users here in the forum!

I would suggest this kind of format:
Code:
I give it <<NUMBER OF STARS>> Stars!

Reasons why you've liked it
Reasons why you've disliked it (I bet you wont!)
And suggestions you think that will make the bot much greater and helpful! (you can also suggests on the main Bot thread)


Here's my review:

Quote
I give it 5 stars!

Yes, there are options that I think would be helpful if the Bot includes such as searching for other user's information with only using their names, yet it is already superb as it helped me watching threads that I've replied on and even ignore users whom mentions me. Great great great job, TryNinja!

2789  Other / Meta / Re: UP Button for post - For original poster on: June 01, 2020, 01:37:26 PM
Although I could have used this, I think it's a bad idea. I barely go back to read updates in the first post(s). Forum users read new posts, so if there's any news to add, add it as a new posts.

Indeed. Making an "UP" button would simply make a thread's conversation useless. I mean, first of all that's the sense of Forums, to interchange opinions like how a normal conversation works. Therefore, pinning a certain reply would just make a drastic change to the forum's chronological layout just for a feature that most would find confusing. Why confusing? Imagine having a reply at the 39th page of the thread because the exchanging of opinions is so profound, and just pinning it on the first page, how could others follow the topic nor how could they know what's the root of the pinned post?

I just imagine the idea of having a pinned post then I come up with this kind of idea that the OP can transfer on the top the thread.



Just the same as what the OP suggests, and it's kinda unnecessary. I think the best option is to include anchors to the main post that redirects to the good replies on that thread (which what @hugeblack had suggested)
I don't think anything will happen soon so it is best to use these codes if you want to send an important warning at first.
Code:
[iurl=#st6]XXX: [/iurl]
[anchor=st6]YYYY[/anchor]

Didn't had a lot of free time recently but I was doing some experimentations to improve the merit notification time from minutes to a few seconds. Just need to do some testings and maybe find a solution for a few issues. The bot has reached 91 members, so thanks to everyone that helped me - and used the bot - so far. Smiley

Seriously?! Only 91 members?! Damn your bot must be endorsed by the forum itself. The first time I tried it was helped me a lot to monitor my activities. Because we all know that notification is what lacks the forum, in which mentions makes a good conversation, and without us knowing it makes it hard to have one.

TBH,  I would like to make a thread for your telegram bot that would tackle reviews about it yet I don't see if it was necessary (I think it was because it will boost your bot's users and will surely help them a lot). Could I make one?

Overall, 4 thumbs up for your work. Soon I'll reply for suggestions I think would be good for the bot and be beneficial to the users.
2791  Other / Meta / Re: [TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+) on: June 01, 2020, 03:37:00 AM
Are you still open for some suggestions and improvements?

I just want to suggests having other useful commands such as:
  • /profileinfo
    • This whill show and message the user's basic yet important profile information in a way like:
      Quote
      Your Account:
      Casdinyard
      Hero Member
      Posts: 1696
      Activity: 1176
      Merits: 517 (13 in the last 120 days)
      Trust: +0 / =0 / -0
  • /profilesearch [Account Name]
    • This will show another users basic information, just in case that they want to see other user's information, which can be his friend or his admired user.

I've been using it since you're uploaded the thread and it helps me a lot monitoring my account. But I think features are the best advantage of your bot. What do you think?
2792  Other / Meta / Re: New set up? on: May 30, 2020, 05:16:54 AM
It just highlights whenever you're in that box. It could also depend on the zoom ratio on your screen. If we are all 100%, it would look the same but it would be different for people who use 200% or another kind of device like a mobile phone probably.

Indeed. I think this isn't based on the CSS of the forum but on how the browsers defaults the style. I use Vivaldy browser yet everything looks normal (blue highlight is, I think,  the default style of the forum when textboxes are on focus). In most cases, all browsers have their default styling when it comes to simple pages like the forum.

In example:
You mean that cute orange box? I love it actually

Edit: mobile, chrome + UC Browser (pissed me with its ads, otherwise not bad)

This is probably not related to the zoom ratio or the forum because the Opera Browser looks like as usual. The main problem here is Google Chrome, and as an alternative, I would recommend the Opera browser I am currently using, as it offers a free VPN (if something is free, the customer is you, remember that this can harm your privacy) and crypto wallet option.

i think this is too off-topic in this thread. We're focusing about how styling differs from other's browsers and platform, and not which is a better browser.
2793  Other / Meta / Re: Having the NOTIFICATION shortcut tag of a new post made in the forum on: May 30, 2020, 12:36:42 AM
Of course having notification button at the top would be good feature but it won’t be different than the above snapshot I believe.
With every refresh that footer changes. It does most of the work.

I agree with this. Maybe the forum would do what the OP suggests, they will just simply move the most recent posts (so98nn 's snapshot) onto the notification page.

But have you ever heard that we also have a Telegram bot? See link here: [TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+) - in which if you watch a thread or a board of your like, a notification would be sent onto you. Seems kinda the same as what you suggests yet a much better option than having a redundant page in the forum. It also features ignoring topics and even other users.

The biggest con with your suggestion is that, it already exist and would depend how and how often you use the Most Recent Posts feature.
2794  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: This forum is much more than just signature campaigns... on: May 29, 2020, 12:47:26 PM
... and I'm on a signature campaign, the case is the same for majority of the quality and constructive posters on this forum who all wear signatures. So you're wrong, signature campaigns do not compromise quality, it's just a way of receiving a bonus for posting, and the quality posters would do so(post on the forum)with or without it.

I somehow disagree with this. Though I am also aren't been on signature campaigns for a long time, I've seen that some users that also has no participation in campaigns aren't active recently. I don't know what really happened but as what the OP had been realized, this quarantine is a great chance to be back on posting and interacting with quality here in the forum. And I think that bonuses isn't what would make a quality poster stay on his run. It is also about his passion in learning more and fulfilling doubts in his intelligent mind. Hence complementing the OP:

Quality posting is a skill which is acquired through hard work and could be expedite through guided introspection which is all I am advocating instead of just joining this forum for signatures.

Also some examples (link to thread that give you this reward) would had been nice so others can seized the opportunity of similar opportunities when they present itself in the future. Thanks for sharing.

Kindly update the thread OP is you may with CryptopreneurBoss 's suggestion and also, why not indicate answering the question HOW and not only sharing HOW MUCH alone? It would be much helpful for the beginners whom are reading your thread to somehow give them ideas with your ways of earning.

What is the forum Tongue, and what is satshi?

We're all curious with "I'm web developer" if you haven't heard of any forums or how does a forum work. Even any developers know Stackoverflow in which is a forum for programmers and any tech savvy. If you are just a dummy account for post, please lock the thread as soon as possible.

But if you are really interested in knowing the system of Bitcointalk, alik111 mentioned links that would help you understand a brief explanation of the forum. And if you want a profound understanding with regards to the matter, better read pinned threads in Meta and Beginners & Help.
2796  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: [SUGGESTION] Isang problemang mapapansin sa Local Board natin on: May 27, 2020, 12:52:14 AM
Wala sa language barrier ang pagbaba o pagkawala ng activities ng mga newbies dito sa lokal. Tingin ko marami sa kanila ay aktibo lang talaga sa mga bounty campaigns (kung saan english din ang mga post sa social media) at ayaw lang makihalubilo dito. Aminado ako na wala akong planong maging aktibo dati dito kung hindi lang nagkaroon ng signature campaign dati na mga lcal boards ang target market.

Marahil sa mga susunod na araw ay susubukan kong gumawa ng listahan ng kung ilang porsyento ng mga users sa Local Board ang nakikihalubilo sa mga lokal na threads at kung ilan ang preferred ang pagsali sa ibang mga board. At sa gayon makukumpara ko kung talaga bang ang mga users dito ay sanay na rin talaga sa wikang ingles na siyang sasagot sa aking agham agham.

Tungkol naman sa mga newbie na hindi gaanong kaactive sa local board, napapansin ko rin ito. Sa tingin ko, ito ang namimiss ng ibang mga newbie kasi para sa akin ay mas magandang maging active ka muna sa local board habang newbie ka pa. Kasi mas madaling makisama sa mga kababayan at maaari kang magtanong ng mga hindi mo pa naiintindihan ng lubusan. Kumbaga, hindi mo poproblemahin ang language sa pagtatanong dahil maaari kang tulungan ng nga kababayan mo.

Tama ka diyan kapatid. Ayon rin ang naiisip ko kasi baka mamaya ibang mga kababayan natin ay may hirap sa ingles ngunit dahil lang sa posts requirements ay ginagawa ang pagpopost sa mga megathreads or ikanga'y mga common topics sa ibang board at discussions.

Last thing pala, bakit bumaba ang mga activities dito, probably dahil kokonti lang rin 'yong mga topic na nabubuo and hindi naman lahat automatic nag-e-engage sa mga existing topic na 'yon, may mga namimili rin diyan kung saan sila makikipagdiskusyon.

Naisip ko na ito kapatid ngunit napaisip din ako kung ano nga ba ang limitasyon na pwede natin isalin sa sarili nating board. May mga discussions sa ibang board na puwedeng isalin at pag usapan sa ating wika hindi para dagdag post lamang kundi para na rin sa mas aktibong local board natin kung saan lahat ay madaling makikipagdiskusyonan ng kani kanilang mga opinion sa wikang mas marami silang maipapaliwanag.

But let's remember lang na andito tayo sa Bitcointalk Pilipinas section para makuha natin ang perspective ng kapwa pilipino tungkol sa Bitcoin in general; at hindi necessarily na ginawa ung Pilipinas section na para lang may section na tagalog/filipino ung language na ginagamit.

Also, not sure pero baka ako lang to, pero mas naiintindihan ko pa ung mga malalalim na english kesa ung mga malalalim na tagalog.  Cheesy
Medyo naintindihan ko na ang limitasyon ng aking argumento, na baka nga hindi naman ganoon magiging epektibo ang wikang Tagalog sa forum na siyang pinakawika'y ingles. At ako rin mas nakakaintindi ng wikang Ingles kaysa sa malalalim na tagalog, ngunit gusto ko lamang din buhayin ang sariling Wika sa forum na ito bilang tulong na rin sa mga kilos na mapanatili at mapayabong pa ang sarili nating Wika.

Siguro maaari nating gawing strictly Filipino ang mga usapin sa loob ng board na ito tuwing Agosto, bilang pagkilala at paggunita sa Buwan ng Wika, pero sa mga normal na araw, okay lang naman na bilingual/TagLish ang mga post dahil dito na nasanay ang karamihan sa atin.

Siguro ito ang pinakamagandang suhestyon sa ganitong usapin, na gawing Tagalog or kahit Bilingual (taglish) board ang ating Local tuwing Agosto o hindi kaya'y kahit sa loob labang ng isang linggo, para naman kahit papaano'y mapanatili padin natin ang ating ikanga'y "Mother Tongue" sa ganitong English-based forum.
2797  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / [SUGGESTION] Isang problemang mapapansin sa Local Board natin on: May 25, 2020, 01:26:52 PM
MAGANDANG ARAW MGA KABABAYAN!

Ginawa ko ang thread na ito dahil napansin ko kamakailan ang isang maliit na problema sa forum ngunit isang malaking issue sa totoong buhay:
Ang pag-gamit natin ng sarili nating Wika!

Madami akong thread na nababasa sa Local Board natin na mas karamihan ay binubuo ng mga salita sa Ingles o hindi kaya'y Bilingual (pinaghalong Ingles at Tagalog). Nakakaalarma lang rin dahil napansin ko na kakaunti na lamang ang mga newbie na kapwa natin Pinoy na nakikilahok sa mga usapin sa Forum lalo na rito sa ating Local Board. Halos mga active Members at pataas na rank na lang ang active sa atin sa mga usapin at marahil may mga users na nahihiya magtanong. Ngunit nakakaalarma parin dahil sa katunayan, issue padin ang Wika sa bansa.

Ito ang iba pang mga dahilan kung bakit ko nais iungkat muli ang usaping Wika sa ating Board:
  • Nung nakaraa'y sinubukan kong muli magbasa ng mga malalalim na konteksto, at laking gulat ko na para akong elementaryang kakasimula lang matuto magbasa ng Tagalog. Ngunit nung nagbabasa ako ng mga sulatin na Ingles, eh nadadalian na ako. Subukan niyo rin!
  • May mga bagay sa ingles na baka hindi maintindihan ng ating mga Kababayan partikular na sa mga malalalim at teknikal na usapin sa Forum. Kumbaga, paano natin matutulungan ang mga kababayan nating gustong matuto kung hindi "Layman's Term" o sariling wika natin ang ating gagamitin upang ipaintindi ang mga ito?

Suhestyon ko lamang na marahil simulan natin sa maliit na hakbang ang paggamit ng ating angking wika. Totoo at aminin natin, mas madami tayo masasabi at madali natin maipapaliwanag sa wikang ingles, ngunit paano ang ibang hirap parin sa wikang iyon rito sa Forum?.. Dahil naniniwala ako na sa kahit maliit na kilos sa Forum ay malaki ang maidudulot nito sa panlabas nating pamumuhay.

Anong masasabi ninyo, mga kababayan?


Kaunting Paalala:
Hindi ko dinidiscourage or sinasabing mainam na itigil ang paggamit ng Ingles dahil sa totoo naman na maraming mas kumportable sa ganitong salitaan, ngunit gaya nga ng napansin ko, iilan lamang ang nakikilahok na sa mga usapin.
2798  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin is just a brand name :( on: May 21, 2020, 02:29:38 PM
Finally the bitcoin halving have already take place last week, the supply will cut in half...... we all know this piece of information

BUT

We already mined bitcoin in 85%(++) of its total supply, it makes me think that we are near to price stabilization when people will start to own it. The market cap of cryptocurrencies are less than 1% of the total fiat that we have, hence it can cover all of this however the essence of bitcoin as a investment form will fail if it happens to be less volatile than it is now and will bring the significance of bitcoin as a currency of the future.....

BUT

The logic behind the bitcoin as the future currency is rigged and makes no sense at all, this is also why gold, diamond, silver, etc. is incomparable to bitcoin because they all have a practical use that is hard to be replaced while on the other part, with bitcoin, its practical use is easy to replaced, in fact we already have better coins than it but we chose to live with its brand name.

Hope this thread will help to avoid new threads regarding 'bitcoin and gold'

Interesting viewpoint. Has some validity.  What makes BTC valuable?  one would argue the machines that mine it, but as you say Other coins can be substituted.

BTC
BCH
BSV
PeerCoin all use the sha-256 Algorithm .  This is the Algorithm with the most gear backing it.
It strikes my mind too, bitcoin is just valuable because people valued it like an expensive, a volatile one. It was the android operating system of crypto which most of people are using.
But all of us could simply switch off BTC and mine BCH On May 31st.
With bitcoin hash rate dropping, and hash rates of its forks are increasing, this may slow a little bit of bitcoin's part. The idea is bitcoin is replaceable by any of its fork but I doubt people would do that.
I think the idea  of forking Algorithm's and allowing multiple coins to share a single Algorithm will prove to hurt all of crypto down the Road.

Say no more, UFC already resumed their events and now slowly going back to normal business Wink. Actually their next event would be the UFC Fight Night 176. Woodley vs Burns is the main event.
They resumed 2 weeks ago, but there are no spectators allowed during the fights, they will just broadcast it on television since social distancing is a MUST. Bob Arum said this is greediness from the chairman promoter of UFC. I don't know if this old man do really care for the player, coz honestly UFC will put its full effort to avoid the unwanted disease, or he's just jealous coz boxing can't get any reopening. lol.

- Poker
Hmm, I'm a little bit skeptical regarding this one. You know, playing cards is one of the dirtiest objects. Different hands handle it from one player to another thus a best place for faster transmission of the virus. So I think if poker tournaments will now open once again, chips and cold cash should not only be on top of the table but mainly hand sanitizers lol.
It is negative for table games like poker, multiplayer sports game or team game. Especially with poker that cards is being handed to everyone, but I doubt they did not thought of wearing gloves. It's more likely to open single sport games like billiard, tennis, etc. And boxing, it's just like UFC tell Bob Arum to bear with low income haha

It's interesting, but not quite a significant event, there could be many versions of the story that would lead to someone having to move bitcoins mined in 2009 and it would be be almost impossible for us to predict right. Although, it shows how far Bitcoin have come in just a number of years. At the first year of it's creation miners may have generated blocks for fun, with a free actually believing in the concept of the network. And 50BTC then meant nothing, but not satoshis are worth significant amounts.

If these bitcoins were from the same year as bitcoin was created then most probably this is related Satoshi Nakamoto, but why they are moving this now?
It raises suspicion but it doesn't really tell anything to conclude that.
It does not tell anything? Probably but if you think of it in more practical way, how many people just after a months of bitcoin was created would be interested to it? I doubt it would be just a random guy on the internet  Undecided My suspicion is also this is one of the inherited btc of Hal's, @JayJuanGee might be right, it might be one of his heirs. Gonna get an update to this.
