I think the topic of cybercrime still falls into the section of Trading Discussion as this section talks about the tips and tricks and dos and don'ts when it comes to transactions involving cryptocurrencies. The only problem with this section is a lot of topics are wrongly created as many members think that this is a section for "Trading" in terms of buying and selling or HODLING BTCs and Altcoins which they are incorrect (you can visit the section now and you will know what I mean) as they should have created it in the Speculation section which is a Childboard under Economics. If this is cleaned out and people will start using this section for what it really is, topics for cybercrime and security can be talk about mainly in this section.

Looking at your post history I think You should stop worrying about your forum activity anymore and actually try to improve your post quality, it is actually more important now as your post contributions are more important than ever with the inclusion of the merit system as even if you have 1,000 activity and you have zero merits you will stay as a Jr. Member here in the forum forever. Actually try to read the OP as well as other posts from that thread before you even create your post, and as much as you can try to avoid megathreads (15+ pages) as you will most likely not contribute something new.

They are actually trying to offload some of their strikers/forwards namely Carlos Bacca and the recently acquired Nikola Kalinić (which is now playing for Atletico Madrid) as they are trying to gain some money back from the transfers they did. With their loan contract of Higuain and an option to buy later it shows a big plus for their side as they also have acquired Caldara, Juventus really gave a lot of quality players in exchange for Bonucci returning home. The loan move has also been done to Bakayoko with an option to buy later. Now AC Milan's final move for this window is to try and sign a Center Midfield which I think they are currently targeting Milinković-Savić, but I know there are other targets such as Memphis Depay.

Things are looking good for AC Milan but I do hope that they get another owner aside from Elliot Fund, they do have a bad reputation for their company of buying and selling teams at a higher price, I just hope they make AC Milan worthy to become a contender in Champions League before they even try to sell them.

That is what I am trying to point out, because your earlier post :
Says otherwise of what you are trying to say now. Even if the buyers will wait and hold their money for awhile I don't think they will have a better deal if they do so as Real Estate properties are still increasing in terms of value.

Let say that you get the whole 200,000$ in the value of cryptocurrencies, why would the buyer still go in that option? What will be the advantage for this people opting to choose cryptocurrency based financing over the traditional banking based financing? I don't think it would be more affordable to the person buying as they still need to be financially capable of paying back those loans, or else they can be screwed over by choosing the more affordable option.

If you are looking for a decline in real estate value, I don't think it will happen soon as the article itself stated that the sold houses/property are still gaining value which means real estate properties are still a positive asset to own. The real estate market having a decline in sales means that they have exhausted most of the people who are wanting to have their own real estate property, we cannot assume that all people living in the US right now want to have their own house as they might be satisfied renting out an apartment or a condo unit to save as much income as they can.

Also I don't think cryptocurrency based financing could be a solution for their problem, because most of the debtors who are availing that kind of loans are also liquidating it back to Fiat. Maybe some of their sold properties might be already bought in this kind of financing and they just don't know about it yet. Also to top it off they must be qualified or in other words financially capable of paying back that loans first before availing that kind of financing solution.

Isn't it enough verification if the github source code links came directly from their website? If you visit some of the wallets' official website (SwiftLightning, Rawtx, Lightning-wallet) You will see that they posted their github links directly to their website. Or are we still in the assumption that even their website is compromised by other people? Then if that is the case maybe implementing what Bitcoin Core is doing is a good way of giving assurance.

A lot of people have seen BTC as a temporary safe haven during this bear market and there is no doubt that a lot of people holding other cryptocurrencie aside Bitcoin had dropped them by now and seek refuge with BTC, this move is really a win-win scenario for investors as while BTC is helping them maintain the value of their money the margin also of it from other cryptocurrencies is getting bigger (price decrease of other cryptocurrencies is bigger) which means that anytime they bought back their old cryptocurrency holdings they will obtain more of it because of the cheaper price.

They are just doing their part for the government, what do you expect? That FinCEN, IRS, and even the SEC to look the other way around when the cryptocurrency market becomes a breeding ground for criminals laundering money and evading taxes? I don't think so regulation does not mean bad news for cryptocurrency we are not in the world living where the government is looking at Bitcoin the bad way they instead looking at it as something we need to adapt with, let us not get the wrong impression that they are out here to shutdown the cryptocurrency market for good.

Do you have any updates about this one? Because it has been almost two months now and we haven't heard any official announcements from theymos about it yet (he didn't even made it official with a thread announcement). Coming from a private message from KWH it looks like theymos wants the development of this system on closed doors meaning the implementation of this new system might not be final yet as coming from his private message he might be busy as the news system implementation is already one month behind schedule.

Your post just looks like a lame attempt on receiving merits, your guide needs a lot of polishing and more in depth explanation as you are mainly creating a topic for beginners which needs to be in depth as it serves as an introductory guide for them, to give you an idea the part of your post about "types of wallets"
is completely wrong, you didn't even mention what types of wallets (e.g. Desktop Wallet, Paper Wallet, and Hardware Wallet) they are, because they are just names of wallets (and even brands of hardware wallets) and cannot be considered as a type itself.  If you really want to help newbies on creating a good guide on a general introduction to Bitcoin look at what Lauda has already created which is a more in-depth one on about the types of wallets which you have also discussed.

You hit the right point bro, to tell you frankly our economy should be booming in Asia if we only elect the right officials especially the ones who are handling the executive and legislative departments as they are the ones who can control and steer the country in the right direction. The main problem I see is most of our fellow citizens don't have the ability to vote the right individuals to the proper position. They always go to the most popular or the person who is winning the polls, when they should be voting the most qualified one instead. This is another problem we are seeing as most of the people who are voting the wrong person are lacking the right education and that is why they can't properly choose the right candidate.

I won't be technical with my explanation but the drop in 2014 is way different then what we have now. With the recent price correction we have from our ATH Bitcoin definitely gained a lot of attention not only from the media but also from normal people entering the market, and just like you said even your friends have bought Bitcoin during the recent rally. Now the drop contained a lot of whales cashing out and of course the new players cutting losses and with several lower highs later and a lot of people selling again and again we have reached to a destination on where we are now.

But the difference with this drop is aside from the media and the average people, the governments of countries also have gained attention on cryptocurrencies on the possibility of making it work together with their country, we saw it first in Japan and Korea and a lot of countries are following their footsteps. Now if the government is until now trying to work things out with cryptocurrencies what made you think that BTC won't recover this time? The key is if the government will play it right on making cryptocurrencies work with their country (several of them) we might see that this market will start to recover soon.

Is the Philippines becoming like China? I don't mean it in a bad way but I think a lot of foreign companies are eyeing Philippines as their new venture to expand their businesses as we have Economic Zones and most importantly cheaper labor. Just like China a lot of foreign companies have manufacturing plants in their because of their cheap labor, even though they have cheap labor it is still also helping their unemployment rate to decrease as well as these companies are paying up their taxes regularly. Not only crypto-related companies are entering into the Philippine market, recently a Taiwanese based company named Cal-comp has provided 10,000 jobs (and counting) to Filipinos and is planning to launch an IPO locally to boost their funds for expansion within the Philippines, good to see news like this about improving the economy of the Philippines.

Any updates on your current situation hollipharm? Have you received the Bitcoin you have purchased? Maybe you are just overthinking as it is your first time buying BTC and you can always double check and confirm when a payment is incoming in the blockchain website what you just have to do is to put the wallet address you use here, https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/COPYandPASTEyourAddressHere. In here you will see your latest transaction and how many confirmations it have, also most wallets needs about 4-6 confirmations before it reflects in your wallet account.

Edit :
Oops my bad, I probably didn't notice the second post. And @bob123 he might not be able to lock the thread as his last active date was on the day he opened this thread. He probably just created an account to ask about his concern.

Remembered a similar topic I have read a few months ago where the OP asked a question that might help you :

And I think (he never really quoted the OP) this is what hilarious replied :

It will still be subjective per mod who is viewing the megathread and it will always boil down to their own opinion as there are no guidelines for megathreads that are worth locking/reporting based on how I understand hilarious' reply. So you are basically alway putting some risk that your report gets denied when you are reporting a megathread.

From a legal point of view I don't see how Coinhive or the owner of the website is asking a permission first to use the CPU's power of the site's visitors. Therefore some have concluded with these kinds of javascript plug-ins where using your site visitors Desktop's CPU for mining without permission is called "cryptojacking" and a lot of people are not aware that these kinds of thing is happening, just take a look at this Reddit post on how he came across that the UFC's webpage is using their viewers' mining power unknowingly. First of all they just intend to visit the website, they didn't give you permission to use their CPU to mine Monero for you to earn, they are obviously using much more power compared to what is intended for browsing. I cannot pinpoint the exact violation but you are definitely violating a law related to improper use of a private property of another without permission.

If I were you I will just stick to advertisements being shown in your website for monetization rather than using these kinds of plugins that intend to use others' desktops for mining, some might actually file a case against you for a recovery of property, and when your visitors band together you are really in big trouble.

By all means this is a big decision for the legislative department of India, recognizing cryptocurrency payments will be the end of these court hearings as well as bank prohibitions given by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) with its powers of giving stupid memorandums. Honestly it is such a stupid memorandum to make as they still allow cryptocurrency trading in India while they prohibit direct online bank deposits coming from crypto exchanges, they are obviously giving an inconvenience to a majority of the traders and local exchanges.

If both the RBI and their SC cannot be relied on when it comes to handling cryptocurrency in India their legislative department must act now by creating their own law about cryptocurrencies, they are greatly missing the opportunity to benefit from the potential earnings they will receive from tax payments, ICO sales, and as well as potential blockchain related companies venturing into their country. It is just simply looking how the Pros outweighs the Cons in this scenario.

With the example you have given we are still in the position of using decimal places as .000653 BTC is equal to 0.653 mBTC, it really does not come any close to the dollar value you are hoping since 1 mBTC is equal to .001 BTC or 1/1000 of a Bitcoin. I also don't think that coming close to the Dollar or Euro value is a prevalent problem here for the general population as switching back and forth from BTC, mBTC, or even uBTC will be a much more greater problem as what BTCforJoe mentioned it will cause a lot of confusion when it comes to payments for them. BTC is still new and a lot of newbies don't know the other two denominations I have mentioned.

Sticking up to the BTC value which has 8 decimal places is what a lot of people are used to, I was confused at first but then I tried reading the values from the start of the number after all the zeroes and thinking it as a whole number at that point on reading BTC values was an easy thing for me to do. Also in my own opinion this is not our problem to solve, if this became an issue the government could easily set a standard on what denomination will their country use when it comes to cryptocurrency payments and the transition will be easy if that happens.  

Tried reading the article in Bitcoinist which you have provided in your post, luckily Bitcoinist had linked the original article (rare for a news grabber/recycler to do) posted under Bloomberg.com. And as always this unreliable news source have cut the content of the original article yet again stating only that Bitcoin needs to go up on this certain value ($213,000) before it replace the US Dollar. Bloomberg has stated on the other hand that :
Which is pretty far from what Bitcoinist have just provided in their news article as they focused more on the price aspect and has not provided the other ways where BTC can be a viable mode of payment in the future. On the original news article it is said that UBS have also provided that Bitcoin needs to improve their network's processing capabilities as it is still a "fraction of the payment volume that companies like Visa Inc. handle" if we ever want to see BTC replace the USD.

I think DarkStar_ is not limiting his option for the available spot/s on people he previously considered for the campaign as there is also no waitlist system for the campaign. Also he already have clarified it in one of his previous post that we still need to reapply if we still intend to join the campaign.
