@Davidvictorson, can't comment if binance messed on referrals for nigerian residents but they're not on the prohibited countries to say the least.

Nigeria remains one of the supported countries on: https://www.binance.com/en/country-region-selector and no official news from binance yet that says nigerian people are barred from their platform.

In another source, the app is still working fine according from binance, see: https://cointelegraph.com/news/binance-presidential-adviser-nigerian-ban

Crypto debit card are heavily tracked, sadly.

What about a middle ground approach? I know a lot of folks concern about their privacy tweak their smartphones to make it privacy friendly, perhaps you could look into that on privacy forums.

You could try to look for brick 'n mortars near you on:

Sorry for your loss, op.

I have to ask. Anydesk is a program that allows remote access to your device/s. Please tell me you have done a clean reinstallation of your OS? Plus if you have accounts logged in previously on any affected devices, change their passwords and enable TOTP 2FA whenever you can -- if you have no idea which accounts, just change everything important to you.

These scammers will milk you dry so make sure they can't come back to your life anymore.

Good luck with that.

Most members here avoid cloud mining because of the amount of cloud mining scams and/or the very likely possibility that it's gonna be unprofitable.

I don't think so because it says on their blog you have to create an account:


Anyhoo, I was wondering if there's some sort of guarantees op will be paying the 100 bucks? since they're not a reputable platform yet otherwise, some folks may be reluctant to deposit.

For the sake of discussion, why did you start this thread then?

Honestly, this is why I find this hard to buy along with the amount of fake stories on this forum. I can't think of any reason big enough that makes refreshing people's memory worth a try. Of course, there's always a chance someone's not in the best place when it comes to making decisions but I'd be leaning towards the most likely in this one.

At first I thought OP had linked the transaction hash where their hacked coins were consolidated along with others but I went to check all the inputs and couldn't find any amounting to "1.32605552 BTC" 

It's either OP confused some data or this is just another fake story (meh) -- yet another regular day in bitcointalk lol.

Did you mean 'this' month?

But I'm not that surprised since instant exchanges like fixedfloat are pretty much a simplified version of the custodial and centralized exchanges we're used to -- e.g. kucoin, binance etc.-- created for quick trades. We may not leave our coins there for long but they do have the attack prone hot wallets for daily transactions.

But how? If tax authorities request someone's information, binance would likely comply.

In addtion, there's typically a data rentention policy even after we close our accounts. I got you a snippet from their privacy policy in this case:


By definition:


I don't see this being any different if you're a .US user, in fact, chances are, it's gonna be stricter.

I think a much better phrase for this is, seeing gambling as a casual hobby 🤔

If I'm gonna be completely honest, what makes gambling mainly fun is because there is a money at risk and there is a chance we can turn it to several folds -- people get the dopamine rush from this. you know, that excitement and anticipation lol

But if we see it as a hobby/form of entertainment and not some sort of way to turn your life around or make a living out of it, then I think people are more likely to make level headed decisions AKA be a responsible gambler.

Note: Started checking the website before bons' reply but I'll still post what I found as it provides depth to the issue.

I decided to make an account since some things from OP's claims are easy to cross check

Yes, there is a 10% fee on withdrawals but according from their payout rules, this only applies on your 3rd withdrawal for the day (with no deposit in between) since the first two are free -- it's actually a sweet deal you can take advantage of imo.


ETH minimum withdrawal amount is also at equivalent of 50 bucks



I'm not sure what's this for though because the actual USDT has a minimum of 10 bucks and no coin appears to have 5 bucks minimum.

In any case, if OP stands by their claims, we would need some sort of supporting information from their end.

Oh yeah, I have also switched to 'they/them' and been using it for years in the forum. The quoted story was during my early years hence the "I used to"

I understand people not liking it when someone misgendered them but make sure you have explicitly said your preferred pronouns first. The gender neutral they/them is frankly relatively new to be widely adopted all over the world and some folks are just not in a progressive environment. From the communities I've been on alone, a lot are actually willing learn once you teach them.

Never been is such situation but I wish LOL

From the article, we don't really know who is telling the truth. So I think a 50/50 reward portion for each would totally depend on what actually happened -- if it was mutually agreed the ticket is shared and all the other nuances on their relationship that the article don't cover -- ngl, 3 months is pretty short. I wouldn't wanna point fingers without actually knowing these.

In any case, it def appears the woman is likely to win the case legally and it is safe to say 1.9 million dollars is an amount most people would fight for in a heatbeat.

Yeah, you could be making a profit now but who knows what will happen tomorrow or the next day.

Realistically speaking, it's impossible for someone to constantly be in profit all through out every trading sesh. I'm pretty sure, even experienced traders experience losses at some point.

Yes, but not always because there could be unforeseeable scenarios for exchanges like binance. One example would be, whenever SOL goes down lol.

Recently, binance suspended XMR withdrawals without warning, apparently, due to low wallet balance, see: https://twitter.com/DontTraceMeBruh/status/1759680195806544364
Though, I can't comment if this is exactly unforseeable for binance.

Fixedfloat.com domain is still accessible however it's on maintenance mode so we can't trade or anything through it.

Most sponsored results from google searches are scams from my experience. Better get ublock origin on your devices so these ads are blocked, see: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock. and on mobile, we can install unblock origin on firefox app through "add-on"

Nice article. I'm used to news outlets mistakenly referring little to no KYC measures CExes as decentralized exchanges so seeing eXch as ethereum mixer is new lol

and yet another, let's shift the blame for the lack of KYC:


I'm sure the hackers would've given fixedfloat their real name and home address /s

No mention what sort of attack was used so who knows if they even have to trade for this.

I've looked into snaps from a couple months ago and their reserves were constantly increasing. The final amount at Feb 13th was at $45M, see: https://web.archive.org/web/20240213024353if_/https://www.bestchange.com/list.html

I can't comment on the kaspersky employee accusation as it's hard to come to such conclusion from this story alone plus it doesn't rule out the problem did not come from your end. It also doesn't help that you had a poor setup in safekeeping the B's.

I'm curious tho if you end up using a my kaspersky account for the password manager? from what I read, this enables cloud storage + data syncronization accross devices so as a start, try to request for a login session list from kaspersky and see if you find anything you don't recognize.

I'm not sure where your heard this but it's not true. US folks -- with no state exceptions remains restricted from OKX's custodial services which includes their so called "p2p market".

This is what happens if you come from a US IP address on OKX:


Regulations are honestly tough in the USA, I can't think of any other custodial centralized exchange that allows US folks in their hybrid p2p/c2c market. Best course for op is to find a privacy leaning p2p exchange that sits on the grey line.

Try with agoradesk.com - USA is a supported country + quick look at their terms, I didn't see any restrictions for US folks. It's also worth noting, it's a privacy leaning p2p platform so no KYC needed.
