321  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sending in fake ID for KYC on: August 03, 2020, 12:41:02 PM
usually exchanges or projects always receive the correct KYC or the correct ID, and I don't know for a fake ID,
but if the fake ID looks right it's likely that your KYC will be accepted, and remember it's the wrong action

There are actually services that provides documents of a real person with future paid support. I took one of these and was provided with passport, local identity and custom photo holding the text I desired. They even promised me of not providing same ID to other user for the same platform.
All they were doing is basically picking up any peasant and making their passports and giving them small amount of money for sharing their passport and national Ids.

I learnt my own lesson about some useless use cases in crypto Projects through Airdrop hunting. I have something against the following use cases like

1. Artificial Intelligence projects
2. Gold backed tokens
3. Deflation tokens

Why? They hardly survives because they are mostly based on lies, these use cases are scammers favorite tools to deceive

This isn't the case most of the time. They can imitate whatever they like as long as it is convincing or appealing to crypto-folks.
You should know how to spot the fake project by
[1] Go to Google.com
[2] Search "name of the project + review bitcointalk"

Tadah, you are now one click away to know what the Bitcointalker geniuses think of that specific project you were about to explore.


While doing so, beware of self moderated threads as the starter of that topic can delete any hostile messages.
And the forum review might not be always sufficient to make a decision as there have been cases of hyped project in this forum and some even endorsed by popular forum figures turned out to be scam. Some prominent DT members and I guess a staff member too lost their position just for promoting fake ICOs knowingly. So, it's better to look at every aspects.

Lol Also include adult industry projects. All I know in these categories have failed, even though a few projects based on AI still look promising. Worst is deflationary tokens, most if not all projects in this category were baseless. Trends come and go in this space, just learn to ride the trends while you can.
Sex sell yes, but in the case of crypto, it was used to lure unmatured guy that still let their d*ck control their investment. 100% adult project is either fail or just straight scam.

Porn on the other hand has achieved relatively more success than many other genre. There are a lot of porn sites that gives paid personal live stream as people find it easier to give and take crypto for private events. The current pandemic situation has further boosted the economy as more artist are joining these platforms and earning money just for showing off on webcam.
324  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Mass Twitter accounts of crypto companies and personalities got hacked! on: July 16, 2020, 02:09:11 AM
Twitter now have suspended those accounts from making twitts and has deleted the previous twitts made by the hacker. They are still accessing the extent of hack and discussing how to handle the situation. Many of the experts has claimed this hack to be the most serious one the internet and social media has ever had. It's just devastating to the trust of twitter.
325  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Fiat vs Crypto in money laundering on: July 15, 2020, 10:34:42 AM
Hi guys I just want to share a short prove showing that Fiat is been used more in money laundering schemes than crypto and if people attacks you with crypto's being used to launder money. Refer them to this article on ccn
Fiat Money Outpaces Bitcoin 800:1 for Money Laundering

https://www.ccn.com/fiat-money-outpaces-bitcoin-by-8001-for-nefarious-activities-report/

Fiat money surely is still the best choice for money laundering but crypto is catching up fast. It's getting difficult to move fiat but crypto are much easier to move without getting caught. I don't mean to accuse crypto but it's nature does provide better option for laundering. If we really want to stop people from money laundering, we should rethink the way money gets circulated and used in society than to wage a never ending ware between launderers and authorities.
326  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty Managers and Shit projects on: July 12, 2020, 02:10:22 PM
If you are talking about the forum moderating bounties than it would never be possible. We just need to thank them for making some rules to assist bounties and reduce spam. The bounties are here just because it's one of the largest gathering of crypto enthusiast and it's a free forum. It's actually a forum to talk about bitcoin, not to promote ICOs.
The bounty managers can help reduce the scams by making some precautionary measures as simple as an escrow. But it's always upto the individual participants research and a bit luck to find a good project.

https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/71261/coinbase-is-selling-blockchain-analytics-software-to-the-us-secret-service

There's no privacy in centralized services. Every of your info goes directly to US secret services if you used Coinbase. That's true for any financial institution. Coinbase furthermore profits from it's analytic software and user data as they sell it for profit. This could be similar for other Exchanges differing just on which secret organization they sell to.
328  Local / India / Re: Cashaa hacked. 336 BTC Stolen. on: July 12, 2020, 11:35:31 AM
To be honest, I've never heard of Cashaa crypto exchange. Why would a person use a barely known exchange when there are multiple reputable ones out there? If an exchange is popular, there is a higher chance it will have a way better level of security. Plus, if it's reputable, there's a good chance the losses will be compensated to users (which is what happened with Binance a year or two ago). And what sort of exchange stores money on Blockchain rather than in a cold wallet?

My number one source of learning about obscure exchanges is when they rape their customers. It's a dependable stream of information.

I'd never heard of them before either.

From the looks of their site - https://cashaa.com/business-account - https://cashaa.com/personal-account  - they are primarily about providing conventional banking with crypto integrated as a sideline. Many people, especially businesses, are desperate for banking so will go with anyone who offers it and makes crypto friendly noises.



The exchange is from some Indians and the alleged hack is also from India. It could be an insider job. I don't mean that the exchange itself is involved but maybe someone that is working with or had worked in the past with the exchange that had some inside knowledge as how and where the funds are kept. Indian police have an experience of investigating hacks in the past, I hope they get to the hacker this time too.
329  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Dogecoin prices crash if TikTok continues to get banned? on: July 11, 2020, 02:08:41 PM
Dogecoin price would crash even if Tiktok didn't get banned. Any unnatural price pump is followed by a dump. I don't think it would be wise to blame Tiktok for the pump and dump of the coin as the hype could have been made through any social media but it seems like the users of TikTok are mostly stupid people who can't think for themselves.
330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - Revolution or Evolution ? on: July 09, 2020, 04:16:43 PM
Bitcoin is the revolution. It revolutionized peer to peer payment and a decentralized ledger without a middlemen.
Bitcoin is not exactly what satoshi made and not exactly what anyone wants. It's a compromise so that the largest group of people would still trust and love it. Bitcoin may not always be as popular as it is but it would always be the one that started this revolution.
331  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Back then and Now, lesson learnt on: July 08, 2020, 10:55:30 AM
Mining can be frustrating but it's not a danger and you'll learn something from your mistake. It's not bad to try mining at all.
The danger I see for newbies are cloud mining. In realitythere are only a few legit services that are still providing cloud mining to people and they are not profitable.
But there's always an interest on newbies about cloud mining which is driven by the hyips that comes up with aggressive advertisement. Newbies should stay away from cloud mining at every conditions.
332  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: No exchange? No Value! on: July 07, 2020, 09:12:28 AM
Keep holding mate, the team have to find another exchange to list the coin, I guess this is a new project? Because new projects most times start with an exchange and later find ways to other exchanges? If it's old then it means the project team aren't that focusing on the project
If there is no exchage yet, then the choice is to continue to hold coins, because there is no place to exchange them, but usually if a new project suspends listing on the exchange or does not attempt to list their tokens, it will be difficult to find a suitable exchange, and even that will continues until the coins become junk and have no value at all.


It's not a new coin at all.
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/batcoin

It's an abandoned project. It's a coin from early 2014. There were a flood of new community based mineable coins at that moment and many came and went as the person who started it didn't continued it with and other people didn't bother to keep updating and mining it. If it was just the lack of mining, we could have hoped for it to come back from dead one day, but the project seems completely abandoned which would bring further more complexities in rejuvenating it even if we want.

VeChain is planning to change the Retail business and with the green signal in China mainland there's nothing that could stop them. They have a headstart and now a legal boost inside China that would let them expand without limitation and the only limiting factor would be their own capacity and marketing.
334  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Matic Network Update - 60 new projects preparing to on-board on: July 06, 2020, 01:08:57 PM


Can you provide any good links for the 60 Dapps and 60 more source? Anyone can write anything on Publish0x and I couldn't find any claims about 60+60 dapps in matic website. All it features is a few incomplete dapps project and blogs about random partnership. Matic has launched it's mainnet and has just recently started staking. But 60 dapps seems a hype.
335  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Compound, a crypto bubble? on: June 27, 2020, 09:44:12 AM
I am quite familiar with the Compound finance dapp and can say that their model is stable and can run for ever. I was too amazed of the COMP growth and had a look at how the thing works but could not find any reasons for it to rise as such. The news about listing on popular exchanges might have boosted it's price or maybe their are some other internal leaks that are going to make the coin more valuable linking it's price to the success of the defi in future.

And by the way According to stats https://www.coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/ ETH has Total supply of 111,483,639 ETH will it be increased in future.....?

ETH doesn't have a total supply cap as far as I know. So yes, it will keep on inflating.

But I think they are to limit the production of new token between 0.17 to 1.7% of total coins depending on how many validators joins the network. This would limit the flow of coin without compromising the new demand. It's a good strategy for a utility token whose future use are still uncertain on both ways.
337  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PAYPAL RUMOR on: June 25, 2020, 03:38:41 PM
If the rumor turns out to be executed, it will be a big win for bitcoin, because many persons will then to expose to cryptocurrency, although one's account can be locked by Paypal that is centralization. This will set out a swift competition among fintech.

I think it's true as many sources are quoting towards it but it's not a surprise. Many payment gateways like Skrill and Payeer had already integrated cryptocurrency and Paypal would not want to lose it's customers for not allowing them to buy and sell crypto. But it also doesn't mean that their would be any change on ho Paypal would operate.
338  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: New Altcoin Exchange running on the Tron Network. on: June 22, 2020, 01:19:27 PM
When you said Tron space, I thought it's a tron based dex and was checking how it achieved the multichain project but it seems to be a poorly built centralized exchange for new coins. In last 6 months half of my trade are done through DEX, thanks to popularity of ETH, TRON and their token. The future is for multichan dexes.
339  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Possible Binance DEX or Atomic Wallet hack on: June 21, 2020, 04:51:44 PM
If it's not from the leakage of private key, you could have connected to a fake dex or some other dapp might have accessed your wallet by asking you for permission while you were making trades on Binance dex and you allowed it access without noticing what it's asking for. Security has been a con of dex and dapps at current time.
340  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Emotion management is one of the key to successful trading. on: June 21, 2020, 04:00:02 PM
Emotions are what makes people loss in trading more than anything. That includes carrying away with the buzz and making a haste decisions. Holding on forever is never a strategy to make profit in trading. Making a rule and sticking with it is the best way to get profit and minimize losses. You need to have both sell orders and buy orders placed on every time.
