3001  Economy / Services / Re: CryptoTalk.Org Signature Campaign [Yobit Panel] on: November 06, 2019, 01:43:44 PM
I just tried to send my signature campaign rewards to my yobit balance but nothing is happening.
Preciously, that "send to my BTC balance" button is not working from my end.

Anyone else is facing similar problem?

I wish this campaign should last for some longer duration by contributing to this crypto community in more productive way. But, not sure what is happening.
There is an answer for your question which locates in previous page of this topic. Delayed payments for several hours or days won't kill participants so be patient guys.
You guys need to chill. Did 15 of you really need to post that the send btc button is not working? Don't ya think sending me a pm would have been the smarter option? Or would that kill a post for you?

The campaign had a 10btc budget for the 1st month, i've been checking the withdraws daily and knew the balance would run out today. I'm sure they will refill the balance by Monday, no need for every single participant to post their button isn't working.

The "privacy" browser demands kyc for publishers to receive their cryptocurrency
I think this incoherence is enough reason for theymos to avoid supporting such project.
And this is a Bitcoin forum. This forum has more than enough bitcoins, there is no reason to risk the forum and theymos' reputation supporting such a project
If I want to be private while browsing on the Internet, I will use Tor Browser as alternative to Brave browser. In fact, I used both of them but stopped using Brave months ago (around the time they asked for KYCs to receive BAT tokens). I agree with you that such the incoherence in their 'slogan' and their development activities and promotions recently are not good for their reputation.

There are still people who do KYCs just to earn BAT tokens from Brave browser and it is easily understandable because there are lots of people use Google Chrome or derivatives from Chrome and Google-related applications without fear of losing personal information.
3003  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] ¤ DMD Diamond 3.0 | Scarce ¤ Valuable ¤ Secure | PoS 3.0 | Masternodes 65% on: November 06, 2019, 11:11:55 AM
we have like 15k DMD for marketing left after covering all the development costs

what are ur suggestions to set as activities

keep in mind most paid stuff want $ or BTC so the DMD would direct translate into sellpressure

so the way better stuff is where people accept DMD not instant sell them

any ideas?

u and any other community member can contribute ideas and projects that create awareness

and if majority like them we can support u to make ur ideas become real with some of that DMD

Effects from participants depend on the scale of the campaign (if launched). If Diamond team don't run a massive campaign/ promotion, I don't think participants will have too much coin to dump and there might be no significant impact on Diamond price.

Ideas?
I still think that at current period of market, it is not good cost-beneficial to run promotions for altcoins, not only Diamond. Because of hesitation and fear of investors on altcoins after their terrible losses in 2018 and nearly finished year of 2019. I think the team will have better effects from promotions if launch them in 2020 when (in my opinion) a stronger altcoin season might appear.

Has Stellar (XLM) Followed Ripple (XRP) With Massive Crypto Supply Manipulation?

A few hours ago the Stellar Development Foundation burnt a whole bunch of XLM. Ripple have also been fiddling with crypto token supply recently in a possible ploy to inflate token prices. Stellar Lumens pumped 25% on the announcement and XRP also got a lift, but are they connected?

https://www.newsbtc.com/2019/11/05/has-stellar-xlm-followed-ripple-xrp-with-massive-crypto-supply-manipulation/
Personally, I like price manipulation that is necessary for market variations. As long as traders and investors can use their own-built set of criteria to make good decisions to enter and exit market, they will be able to take advantage of price manipulations to earn profits for their portfolios.

All markets have manipulations, stocks, gold, and cryptocurrency market is not the only exception from financial games.
3008  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency on: November 06, 2019, 05:10:38 AM
I think we are getting closer, the MACD is showing for some time now a weakening in sell pressure and also crossed the signal line awhile back. Only a matter of time to see
this reflect in price as well in my opinion.
You definitely pointed out right indicators for DASH growth because today we already saw the price of DASH rising very well on market. It is a bumpy journey for DASH to recover above 0.01 BTC. I believe it will be not a easy and rosy journey but finally DASH will hit it. Sooner or later, later this year or within the first two quarters next year. The Bear can not control price undervalued forever.

These lazy scammers never stop to reinvent their scamming tactics. So, their strategy is like that.  There's also this channel "Ripple" that I've found.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWFD0_YgOoyfTuunMMYpmiQ

The strategy is the same, I think the people behind these channels and scam giveaway are one.
Thanks for reminding about the same method used with fake Ripple channel. I knew it too but I forgot to add it in OP.
I believe these scammer just buying the youtube, you can see at the video at there have some Video Vietnam/Philippine language.
Bought or hacked account but whatever it is, it does not make sense.
@everyone, do you think everyone that the stated in OP, the total amount of ETH in the wallet address of scammer are totally came from the victims or maybe some are into the scammer just using it as a bait?
I neither do know nor care about it. I don't think we should spend our time to check it. Scam is scam, and if we already know how they scam, that's enough, IMO. I don't think we should waste our time to dig too deeply.
The thing is in the eyes of a newbie or just a common person they will believe in this at first sight without even having any kind of doubts that this is in fact a scam waiting to happen. They won't go look around and investigate the flaws on that channel but they will instead see the "giveaway prize" they are after. Add in to the fire that you will see a lot of fake responses saying that they have received the ETH reward they are waiting, this will surely attract a lot of viewers to send in money on their own.
For newbies who don't know how to use etherscan.io to check transaction history and warning message (with the red color, if there is one message), I can sympathize with their mistakes.

In contrast, for others know already know the etherscan.io site and how to use it as well as its available red tags for high risky addresses, if they still fall into such scam traps, I have nothing to say about them and their mistakes.

Generally, for any type of victims, they have a common characteristic, greedy.
3010  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] BEAM | Mimblewimble | Private | Scalable | No ICO | No Pre Mine on: November 05, 2019, 07:29:12 AM
Fantastic week for Team Beam with the release of the community-made BeamPay, a payment processor for Beam. beamprivacy.substack.com/p/beam-2019-week-44-beampay
The release of community-made application, namely BeamPay, that published as news 2 days ago, is just one of reasons for the recent explosion of BEAM. There are other reasons as I knew, from the new upwards trend of Mimblewimble coins (Grincoin and BEAM are best presentatives, shit forked coins excluded) to general rallies of altcoins.

Due to recent serious correction, I expect BEAM will bounce back strongly from its temp price.
3011  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Leaked information. Are we really safe at all? on: November 05, 2019, 07:21:28 AM
If you want to be super overly paranoid then you might as well assume as soon as there is another third party involved your data has already been compromised. This could be from leaks or this could be from employees seeing that data by routinely reviewing it.

Realistically you can never protect your data 100% because at some point you will need to involve a third party in whatever sector of your life. Bitcoin data with the KYC requirements and the increasing amount of laws being put in place for Bitcoin will mean data will need to be submitted if you are to ever exchange Bitcoin.
When personal identities uploaded on online environments, it does not matter who or which ones store that data, from governments to exchanges, there are higher risks to lose our identities that in turn will be likely compromised for bad and shady purposes, not only financial compromises but also other things.

When KYCs first required mandatorily on some big exchanges, people were paranoid but they turned into more familiar with KYCs. I believe that months or years later when KYCs are one of prerequisites to be eligble using crypto exchanges, people will not paranoid about that. Third-party or not, there are also risks with KYCs, in my opinion.

At current period, we have options to choose KYC-required exchanges or KYC-free exchanges but in the future I don't think we will have such KYC-freedom.
3012  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Scammers on Youtube. Don't fall into this scam trap and lose money, guys on: November 05, 2019, 07:11:33 AM
No wonder this channel has been fooling a lot of people, he has his Youtube channel named "Ethereum"
If they carefully check that channel, they will see it comes from the username, thehotgeek. Does Vitalik Buterin use his username on any channel with that one: thehotgeek. Once again, from that username, I want to emphasize that all or most of victims fall into scam because of their carelessness and they can not blame on anyone else for their carelessness and faults, from Ethereum, Youtube to scammers.

Beyond username, they have to check video history. On that channel (of @thehotgeek), they will obviously see very free and dangerous signals of scam because as I wrote in OP, 12/14 of published videos are not related to cryptocurrencies. There are only two and all related to Ethereum, that published recent days solely to scam people.
3013  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Tools for managers to check quality of posts (both merited & unmerited posts) on: November 04, 2019, 03:53:43 PM
That script to check total received / sent merits within last 120 days is very great tool for managers. It is helpful for managers to check real figures of applicants who sometimes apply with fake figures of received merits. Without that script, managers can estimate total merit received within last 120 days but the script help them to get exact figures.

3014  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Litecoin - a lite version of Bitcoin. Launched! on: November 04, 2019, 03:26:30 PM
I can't agree with you here and I am sure that many will choose the coin which has instant or even lightning-fast transactions rather than slower once.

This is very important for many treaders, especially when you are trading using bots or API. Still, LTC is a lot better as BTC for which I waited for yesterday almost 7 hours to be confirmed.
There are different types of crypto traders, and investors and they have different needs to move their coins (speeds, fees, and potential congestion on networks). Someone don't have urgent needs like me, someone have urgent needs or just usually need fast transactions like you.
Addtionally, their definitions on fast transactions are different, obviously.

Generally, the diversification of demands from crypto traders and investors result in a very healthy competition and race between different crypto currencies. It's good for all.

Quote
That is why further development of new features as Mimbewimble is a great idea and will add value and more use cases for LTC.
This is what I totally agree with you. By the way, it is good to see you point it out when Mimblewimble-algorithm coins have been in their upwards trend, from Grin coin to BEAM.
3015  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Scammers on Youtube. Don't fall into this scam trap and lose money, guys on: November 04, 2019, 03:20:22 PM
450 people watching, is that a real human or bot? None one of them make a chat at chatbox.
You can test by chatting but your chat message will be deleted. I don't have clue that all of watchers are bots or real users but they do delete chat messages.

As we all thoroughly know, scammers use their same methods from time to time but people still easily get trapped by scammers. There are very little improvements of scammers on their methods. Simultaneously, scam victims mostly don't change their behavior which leads them to be scammed.
3016  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Grin | PoW Mining | Electronic transactions for all. Community driven. on: November 04, 2019, 09:40:22 AM
As we discussed previous days, Grincoin has performed exactly in the direction I expected. The recent rally of Grin coin is another lesson for weak hands, that whenever they weakly dump their coins at very close to bottoms, coins will start to recover. Most of times, from bottoms, coins will perform significant rallies.

BTW, investors who fortunately made right decisions to buy Grin coin at bottom-ranged price have to consider to take profits. All coins have to move up and down, no coins can move upwards or downwards without stop and transitional stations.

Scammers on Youtube. Don't fall into this scam trap and lose money, guys (tbct_mt2)

It is likely a new hot trend from scammer. Youtube does not fastly response to scam reports from community but this is the username of that scam channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/thehotgeek
You can search with the keyword: thehotgeek.

If you check, you will see 12/14 videos on that channel are non-crypto things, only two of them relate to crypto and for scam purpose.

I don't know that Youtube does not care about scam reports at all or they just lately response and handle scam reports. Let's see how long it takes till the Youtube takes action about that channel. In the meantime, don't send your ETH to that fake address.

The most helpful topic I read about preventing such scam is this one: Collection of comprehensive guides on identify and avoid scam projects
