3161  Local / Română (Romanian) / Re: Probleme cu ATM-urile BitcoinRomania , Evitati-le !! on: February 05, 2020, 08:02:32 PM
In Bucuresti sunt 3 de la BitcoinRomania. Mai exista si unele de la Shitcoins.Club (nu glumesc, asa se numeste firma). Si mai e inca o firma cu ATM-uri in Bucuresti, dar imi scapa numele.

Le poti vedea (si filtra) pe toate aici: https://coinatmradar.com. Sunt pe mobil acum si imi este mai greu sa ma uit pe site, de aceea ti-am dat link-ul.

Cei de la Shitcoins Club au curs foarte ok pentru cryptomonede și momentan nu au KYC. Cel puțin dintre toate pe care le-am folosit până acum prin România, de fiecare dată când ajung într-o zonă în care găsesc și un ATM Shitcoins, cumpăr. Au avut probleme pe la început cu bancnotele - se blocau în aparat, sau aparatul nu mergea deloc. În rest, no comment. Au design foarte fain și, cred eu, unic.
3162  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: 51% Attack on: February 05, 2020, 06:58:39 PM
China can already do that. It has more than 51% of all Bitcoin mining power in pools. They can easily take over the pools.
Just because most mining power comes from China doesn't mean their government can take over Bitcoin through a 51% attack. I've never studied who owns the most Bitcoin power in China but I highly doubt (and I think it's pretty logic) that it's their government. Otherwise, Bitcoin would be right now placed under a serious threat of centralization and power.

You're underestimating the amount of resources and the benefits governments would gain from attacking Bitcoin. Cryptos will still thrive regardless of if the attack suceeds or not. Its not difficult for Bitcoin to fork to a different algroithm and the government would be left with a huge pile of useless ASICs.

If they have enough resources, there's no fight at all.
Considering Danny's calculus, how will the governments gain any benefit from attacking Bitcoin? A successful attack would only determine devs to focus on Bitcoin's security against these attacks, hence making Bitcoin even stronger. A failure would be a big embarrassment for the governments and would make Bitcoin even stronger than the scenario of a success.

Why would a government spend so much money just to try an attack..
3163  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UK gamblers cannot use Credit Cards for gambling from April 14, 2020 on: February 05, 2020, 05:49:13 PM
I think it's a good arrangement because gambling with a credit card is not the right thing, and it causes you to lose money that you do not have in your pocket.

snip

If I don't have any money but have the urge to gamble, I'll borrow money from someone and I'll satisfy my gambling needs with it.

I just don't get what's up with these measures - if someone's borrowing methods are limited, the last resort will be asking someone for money. And that's even worse than going on a credit card balance spree, socially speaking.

The first and most important thing they should take care of is helping people fix their addition. If you are so addicted you can't gamble more than you can afford to, that's very bad and becomes a mental issue. Before taking care about the customer's money, take care about their mental health.

Umm, We will not be breaking but we will be helping don't you think? Or instead of getting merit just ask him from which account he is going to merit? can also be done without paying him or getting merit for real..

Well, by "hiring" I understood something completely different. Cheesy
3165  Other / Meta / Re: Send shady merits on: February 05, 2020, 03:50:47 PM
Why not we just hire him and see from which account he or she is going to merit and then just report?

Maybe, Team360 has bought some merits to rank-up... Many new people coming here making announcements believes that they must have some merit and greater rank so people can take their project seriously and I keep telling them that you do not need merit or bigger rank for your influence you just need a unique idea a perfect team and something that can make you better then and trusted then others.. people just wants to be secure...

I think that we are not aware of merit market, Its already selling I see.

I hope people must learn that merit is something that must be earned not bought and it has nothing to do with your ideas you can get influence if you are genuine... that's all.

Regards

Would you pay someone to break the BitcoinTalk rules just to see who they are? $20 a merit? I would not. One day or another they will get exposed, just like this guy OP is accusing. Lies are short, right? Smiley

And sometimes people will do anything possible just to get up to that minimum rank needed for a sig campaign.
3166  Other / Meta / Re: Send shady merits on: February 05, 2020, 12:55:23 PM
Thanks for the merit, but you really need to send it to someone who could really use it and need them to actually rank up. I have no where to go any higher so basically those merits are just for prestige, and kind of a lost ones.

Back to to the OP, I have not received any answer to my question even tho the guy was online some hours ago. This kind of shady behavior is exactly what I expected, the whole case is a bit fishy. Let's wait and see how it will go.

I always keep a little bit of Merit for those who deserve it, I'm never running out of them.

TEAM360 surely saw your message and most likely this thread too. They probably prefer to now go through PMs with potentially interested people rather than answering our questions. He/she knows what they're doing isn't right.

XinXan is also active (last active a day ago), but no response to this thread. Taking into account that he gives away Merit, he must know about the existence of this thread too.
3167  Other / Meta / Re: Send shady merits on: February 05, 2020, 12:16:40 PM
Merit selling is not a big issue just because you won't be able to rank up more than member without being spotted.
You have a really high chance of loosing the account together with the investment you made when buying merit. If it's just to participate in bounties, that you are not so harmful for the community, of course you cheated your way up which is not nice, but you can't go any further up without consequences.

If 1 merit cost 20$ then you need to spend a bit more than 1BTC just to rank up from Hero to Legendary, I don't think anyone will make such investment only for ranking up.
Prices are ...
5000$ to rank up to Hero,
3000$ to rank up to Sr. Member,
1800$ to rank up to Full member
180$ to rank to Member.

So I saved myself 31680$ just earning my meirt for free Smiley


Here's 2 more from me! Cheesy Too bad you need activity, not merit, to advance to Legendary.. I really hope you're going to rank up soon enough - you really deserve it.

If someone's stupid enough to pay $20 for 1 merit which could be earned by simply posting a helpful thread/reply on the forum, they deserve their loss so let them be. They'll take down with them the members who've sent them merit too as they'd all become suddenly suspicious, so it's a win situation for us.

From what I've seen, those users who can't rank up due to lack of quality posting will give up in the end. Merit is such a good measure to stop them but I wish it wasn't a requirement for the top members like you and LoyceV Mobile to rank up.
3168  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: US marshals seizure of 4000 btc being auctioned, will start dump/run this month? on: February 05, 2020, 12:04:06 PM
Can't see the relation between the 2016 auction and the 2017 bull run.

I don't think someone would pay at an auction even $500/BTC under spot to only sell it after. It's Bitcoin, it's volatile. A drastic price change could happen at any given time.

Someone will probably be buying these Bitcoins to hold on to them. It makes no sense to buy it and then just dump the market.. just my opinion though.

This will make a major role in the market and I think it is one of the reasons for the sudden rise in the price since last month. We need to wait a little longer after they've sold those BTCs. I'm sure many investors already planning to join that Auction which will happen in a few weeks. base on its past history, this will be a good thing for the crypto market and they choose this date because they know more people will be interested to buy this year because of the Bitcoin halving which will happen less than 100 days from now.
I'm sure almost nobody's heard of this auction. I'm up to date with most crypto news and I've never seen "auction" in the headline of an article.
3169  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Inspired by the stories of forum Members and Heading towards Full Member Rank on: February 05, 2020, 09:26:07 AM
snip

I think it's ok to make a thread like this, at least the OP has tried and collected a number of threads that according to the OP inspired it to be appreciated.
Maybe the OP can add a few things for example from a few threads that you mention which parts are inspiring, then newbies can learn about that.
I've been a sh*tposter before and although I changed, I don't feel the need of creating a thread to talk about users which inspired me. There's no need to talk about inspiration of earning higher ranks imo.

Sure, there are members you can learn a lot of stuff from like LoyceV, but creating threads just for this purpose really gives them a merit-beggar look.

Every time I visit the Beginners & Help board there's a new thread like this. The first few ones earned a ton of merit and I feel like, even if OP didn't intend to post it for that, he subconsciously wonders "what if..".

Come on, I don't think I've ever seen a top member of the forum come up with these kind of threads.. Just continue doing what you're doing, if you ranked up through earned merit then you deserve it.
3170  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP Price to $14 - Any thoughts? on: February 04, 2020, 11:04:30 PM
banks are interested in and use Ripple not XRP. Ripple is the technology and XRP is the token. it is like saying Facebook is using bitcoin just because they used blockchain technology to create their own coin. we also have seen in the past that  some of these banks discarded their relationship with Ripple company as soon as they learned the technology and could use it on their own.

being centralized means even the cap of 100 billion is meaningless let alone simple things such as "locked coins". they can do anything they want just like they have access to all the coins that are in existence not just the ones they hold. just like how they stole the coins from one of their team members after they kicked him out even though he was the only one with the private keys!

Well, looks like I was misinformed about the Ripple technology part. I always thought XRP was being used by banks, NOT just the tech. Ripple having their coin named "Ripple" makes me always confuse the two. I guess the name was not randomly chosen anyway Wink

Besides all the centralization, the 20XRP minimum funds needed to keep an account active is a joke. That's $50 wasted away at the current price if you want to hold 10 different addresses. It was $50 per address when the price was at all time highs.

And yet, whenever I heard about XRP from someone in real life, I always heard the idea that XRP would be the one used by banks, not the tech. This confusion probably drives prices and investors in the wrong places and makes them believe XRP is the future.

Anyways.. as soon as the coins aren't 100% mine and someone has control over them, it's a no for me from the start. I did not come into the crypto world to chain myself to another fiat-style "cryptocurrency".
3171  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bull and bear market. on: February 04, 2020, 10:37:28 PM
Depends if you're going for the long or for the short term. For long term tradings, people usually make profits when the bull market switches to bearish and vice-versa. If you know your targets and you're a good analyst, you might make more money through long term trades than through short term ones.

But both involve risk, so there's no guaranteed win.

Going for day trading, though, is more riskier imo than being a long term trader. You lower the chances of mistyping a digit due to being in the hurry of opening an order book (which could lead to disastrous losses) and you avoid being affected of the panic/hype.

Bull or bear market - both can be played very well if one knows what they're doing. Because bull markets are led by hype while bear markets are led by fear, you can try to find out how the human brain works when hype/fear is triggered and profit off these waves of different moods.

I'm no expert but I've lost way more money through short term trades than through long term ones. Going for long terms also makes you avoid these moments of panic and/or hype.
3172  Economy / Economics / Re: The Future Crypto Market & China Printing Money on: February 04, 2020, 08:17:45 PM
Using cash will only spread virus. For Chinese is now much better to use Bitcoin and keep your wallet cash viruses free.
I know banknotes are usually full of germs and microbes, but do you really think they contribute that much to the spreading of the virus? By using Bitcoin they'd still pay for physical stuff, so whatever you do you still end up with something physically existing in your hands in exchange for physical/digital money.

snip

Nearly 500 people are already dead due to the corona virus whereas 500+ are yet infected and struggling to recover from the most fetal virus.

snip

It's not the most fatal virus. At least not yet. We've seen pandemics worse than corona and this one is so hyped..

So how is "injecting" money into their own economy going to help fight corona virus? Printing money to help fight corona virus also makes no sense at all. How come you are saying printing money is going to have short term negative effect? If this keeps on going on, it is going to affect Chinas economy very badly in the long run. Look at those countries that have printed insane amount of money. See how messed up their economy is.
Haven't heard anywhere that goods from China are being rejected.

Packages sent to Romania have been suspended a day ago due to the virus. I'm talking about the Romanian Post, not sure what about the other logistic companies.

Their economy is already very badly affected.. and will most likely take a pretty long route to recover from what happened. Injecting more money is a way they tried to help with the situation in Wuhan and all the other quarantined areas. It affects their economy on both the short and long terms.
3173  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin (BTC) Treasure Hunt Launches on Minecraft on: February 04, 2020, 05:47:17 PM
Reminds me of 2013 Minecraft BTC servers. Good initiative especially considering the huge number of players worldwide. Wondering if and for how long will it last. It sounds and looks way more fun than the servers which paid BTC in 2013 for destroying blocks. If the game style is completely open-source, I guess more servers are going to adopt it. Let it become a Minecraft trend and Bitcoin would hit the headlines again.


snip

This also beats the idea of navigation, exploration and treasure hunting, instead, people will just wait for the notification that someone is near on the treasure and just pk that poor player.  Though, I know that there is some positive side on it though I only see developers raking huge profit on this one.

Unless the treasure is worth hunting and pk'ing, I will stay away from this kind of game system.



But, personal opinion aside, this is really cool since it will introduce crypto especially Bitcoin to millions of minecraft players.
I doubt pk'ing would be allowed. If so, all players would execute the command and basically all die instantly but 1 lucky player. The article doesn't mention anything about the way this "battle-royale" style was planned, but I guess as soon as a player gets close to the loot, the player's coordinates are revealed.
3174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto gambling websites need to add self-control functionality! on: February 04, 2020, 04:34:38 PM
snip

I believe that creating such functionality for gambling sites is not profitable, because the main income of casino sites is from those people who can not get rid of addiction,
continue to play again and again without brakes. Therefore, your own control in this matter will depend only on you, like everything in this life.

Sometimes looking for ways to maximize profit just isn't the best thing to do. If I was a casino owner and there was a way I could stop someone from basically losing more than they can afford to, I would do it even if it draws the profit lower with it.

However, I'm not sure how these limits would help greedy people. If one wants to go over their limit, they will even with the best limiting function that could exist. If one limits their total profit or loss and thinks of going over them, they will increase them. If someone wants to go for another gambling session after deleting their account, they'll just make another one.

Greed cannot be encountered this easy. I've pushed myself over the limits and know what it means to do whatever it takes in order to get where you want.

Mai degrabă pui deoparte 1-5 lei pe zi pe care îi investești în Bitcoin și ai să ieși mai bine decât cu orice faucet ai lucra. E o pierdere de timp, părerea mea. Am avut foarte multe tranzacții de 0.0001BTC (10k satoshi) pe vremea când Bitcoin-ul era undeva la $200. Când am vrut să-i mut (într-o perioadă în care BTC-ul era congestionat), am aflat ce e aia să plătești taxă pentru mineri pe tranzacții ”dust”. M-a durut puțin.

Pe lângă asta, până când și Faucet-urile au început să adauge KYC. Așadar, s-ar putea într-o zi să ai micuța surpriză că nenea de la Faucet vrea să afle cine ești cu adevărat.. sau nu-ți mai primești banii.  Smiley

I don't ask for unban... I ask for a chance for a new start.
In your case, asking for the chance of a new start is equal to being unbanned. And that's a "no" for someone who's done plagiarism and ban evasion. Also, why do you believe YOSHIE was wrong?

Paying to get more privileges (as in being allowed to skip bans) would be very unfair to all the other members of the forum. Your first account, which you say was hacked, has 40 posts - I don't think you lost much if anything with that account.

Eventually, wait until the staff replies because they're the ones in charge. Although I think they've had enough of these kind of threads already..
3177  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What tools do you use to manage your portfolio? on: February 04, 2020, 06:39:45 AM
I'm actually surprised to see nobody mentioned Delta before BitMaxz. I think it's the app which boomed the most during the 2017-2018 period.

I'm using a combination of Delta and Excel. Delta for mobile and quick-checking my short term portfolios, Excel for managing my funds, trading and having an evidence of all my portfolios.

I used Blockfolio until Delta launched. I love Delta's UI but sometimes they show wrong prices. IIRC though, I think Blockfolio had this price issue too back when I used it. Delta also has some algorithm that calculates whether your transactions have been good investments (or trades) or not, but I've never used it correctly to know how accurate it is. It also has a live book order function which might come in help for those seeking to do trading.
3178  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP Price to $14 - Any thoughts? on: February 04, 2020, 06:14:56 AM
2. XRP is useless so there is absolutely no real demand for it apart from pump and dumps.
3. it has one of the biggest supplies among altcoins. such enormous supplies automatically prevents price from going past certain levels.

I'll have to contradict you about point no. 2. XRP has a huge lot of demand from banks all around the world, so you can't really call it useless or demand-less. It definitely had some success hence the reason it's in the top 3 cryptocurrencies.

I certainly am against its centralized nature and against the way its supply is distributed manually. Although the funds are locked, as we've seen very recently, a lot of XRP can be injected into the market. This works exactly like fiat, so banks are happy to work with a coin that tries to immitate fiat's inflation.

Their interest is to work with a coin that is more stable than Bitcoin, so from their point of view that is understandable as much as I hate the banking system.

Considering XRP's workaround with banks all around the world, its demand could trigger a price explosion.. that is unless they're going to continue injecting so many coins in the market. The max supply of XRP is 100B, so a $14 XRP with max supply of 100B equals a $14T market cap for it. IMO it's possible under the existing circumstances. $14T for global usage isn't a lot.
