The rule of not using public Wi-Fi should be a priority. Having got into your phone, that is, having hacked it through a public network, a fraudster will receive a lot of data about you, you risk losing more than just showing the screen of your mobile.
It is best to avoid using public Wi-Fi but if you use it, open your VPN.
I never store my Bitcoin, my personal details in my laptop and bring it around, connect it to the Internet especially public Wi-Fi. Important things, I store them at home, and barely connect it to the Internet.

Frankly,  I have a little fraction of Bitcoin in my laptop, but just minor amount, ready to use just in case.
3202  Other / Meta / Re: Proposal: to remove fully posts rather than "This user is currently ignored". on: August 07, 2021, 01:41:01 PM
This is a simple proposal. Sometimes, for more intense pleasure to read and participate here, we all end up "ignoring" some users  Embarrassed
As such rather than see this polluting line : This user is currently ignored. Why not simply shadow banned the ignore list?
I think it would be easier for reading and less tempting to un-ignore nefarious posters.
People can change and the line "This user is currently ignored" reminds you that member was ignored by you. If you remember that case, have time to glance at post history to find potential changes or want to bury the hatchet, the UnIgnore button works.

Many people don't change but some of them do. And if you are open-minded, want to refresh your Ignore list, it is helpful.

You won't have to go to your Profile and check your Ignore list in Ignore User options.
Code:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2863922;sa=ignprefs
Above is your Ignore list.
3203  Other / Meta / Re: Is there discrimination in the forum on: August 07, 2021, 01:20:52 PM
But this is not the point of the problem. The crux of the problem is that he mentioned in his reply:
If there was any doubt in my mind that the forum is being specifically targeted by Chinese handlers, this removes that doubt.

I would like to ask, is there such a statement or discrimination circulating in the forum?I’m not sure if there is a certain unspoken rule for a certain nation, a certain culture.Please let me know if so.

If yes, can you give some examples of racial discrimination or ethnic discrimination.If not, that would be great.
The forum does not have any rule about ethnic discrimination. The forum is opened for all and it is big enough to have some conflicts of interests, opinions inside.

You can agree or disagree with another and you could be right about that specific person. However, if you generalize it too much, you would be seriously wrong. There are good and bad people in same nation, same local area.

Control yourself, on what you write, what you want to read. If things are not your favorite, ignore them (members, topics, boards). Don't let such ones expose your eyes and let you unable to control your discussions. Then you will never fall into discrimination.

Bitcoin is bullish and is heading back towards the trajectory of Stock-to-Flow model. Furthermore, it is highly repeating the 2013 fractal, with double tops.

3205  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Best Bitcoin Quotes ... on: August 06, 2021, 02:24:52 PM
Governments attacked Bitcoin, called it as a fraud.

After more than one decade, since 2009, they have been changing their words. Since 2020, we see more governments publicly announced that they are developing their CBDCs.

The biggest differences between their CBDCs and Bitcoin are:
  • Bitcoin's total supply is finited, at 21 M.
  • CBDCs' total supplies are infinite & governments can mint many CBDCs as they want for their nations. CBDCs are just replacements to their paper or polymer fiat currencies. CBDCs won't change the fact that governments cause hyper inflation.

Yesterday night a friend of mine introduce me to this Forum. He told me that I can earn BITCOINS by joining campaigns is  it true?
It is true. However, if your friend invited you here with that information, he or she should tell you how to earn Bitcoin here.

But before that I need some help about here in forum can someone help me?
Be careful with plagiarism and read rules carefully before you do anything here.
3208  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I'm curious about our Trust Score! on: August 04, 2021, 03:39:57 PM
You mean that it depends on my trust list for example I put you in my list then I will see that you have 10  + Trust but when other account saw your profile Link but you are not in their trust list so the number of positive trust is 8  because the +/=/- trust is increase if some DT1/DT2 will add you in their trust Am I correct or not?
It is different if two members view trust feedback with customized trust list.

It is the same if two members view trust feedback with default trust list as follows.
Code:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=3325792;dt
You can use the format above to see default trust from DT members, not from your customized trust list.

The website will go live soon. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, let's take the advantage of early comers, and accumulate EMC when its price on exchanges is very cheap. Let me remind you a  fact that people always reject cheap price and regret then hope to see cheap / discount price again when price is on the Moon.

They repeat the cycle and miss many great opportunities.

Three exchanges to buy EMC coin, for now. More exchanges will come soon.

I recommend you to disable email address in your profile page. Currently, it is displayed for all viewers and you should hide it for your privacy as well as security of accounts you register with that email.

Profile > Account related settings > Hide email address from public? (tick this checkbox) > Type your account password in Current Password (at the bottom) and click on Change profile to finish.
3211  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Social media's impact to the growth of crypto currency on: August 01, 2021, 09:46:24 AM
There are many things can be discussed on social media and cryptocurrency is one of such.

It is a mutual relationship between social media platforms and cryptocurrency and each of them can survive well without the another.

Cryptocurrency won't die because social media platforms die or disappear. Social media platforms need to have traffics and cryptocurrency give them huge traffics. They need each other to grow up together.

As the saying goes "Too good to be true", let me say another one "Too naively to be true". Members will always say "I did not know about it/ I did  not do anything wrong, etc." but more than 90% or 95% of them know what they did before their accounts were banned.

PoS coins usually have masternodes or supernodes.
No, not always. In coins that have PoSe, (Proof of Service) yes. The only commonality between masternodes and PoS is that both are used to

Staking and mining are different terms and you can not say staking is an alternative to mine cryptocurrency.
For PoS coins, staking is the alternative to mining cryptocurrency through proof of work.
Please don't arbitrarily to use the phrase "alternative to mining cryptocurrency". Cryptocurrency networks are not created to mine or stake and get rewards from staking or mining. The main use cases and the ultimate ones are confirm transactions. PoW or PoS are sort of tools to help confirm transactions.

Quote
I would even go as far to say that for these coins, PoS is better in some ways then PoW for reasons such as lack of extreme energy consumption that PoW requires.
Both have pros and cons. PoS coins are more easily to end with deaths.

Staking and mining are different terms and you can not say staking is an alternative to mine cryptocurrency.

Staking is use your coins to stake and earn staking rewards from PoS (Proof-of-Stake) cryptocurrency.
Mining is use your mining rigs to mine and earn mining rewards from PoW (Proof-of-Work) cryptocurrency.

PoS coins usually have masternodes or supernodes.

That is a great topic but there are several more topics for newbies to read, learn and secure their accounts as well as cryptocurrency wallets better. Must-read resources
Bitcoin transactions are irreversible and when you lose your coins, you can not reverse transactions to get your coins back.
3217  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Andreas Antonopoulos vs Adam Back on: July 29, 2021, 04:09:40 PM
Banks I know you know your shit ( and always very helpful anytime I have a technical question, which is always much appreciated ) but I can't agree with you here.  Andreas has done a lot for the bitcoin community.  Maybe he has wanted to always become a "bitcoin celebrity" but he's also taught likely hundreds of thousands of people about bitcoin and does so in a very clear and understandable way.
If he contributes and help thousands of people to learn basics and even advanced about Bitcoin, I respect him.

Quote
Mastering bitcoin was a pretty good book that taught a lot of people as well.  Andreas has spent a lot of his own personal time teaching and helping others to learn without asking for anything in return.
Additionally, I respect Andreas more when he rejected 10 BTC from HEX to shill that project. He also gave a free warning to the community. A good person, indeed.

Quote
I've been offered 10BTC to do an interview about HEX to show that it is not a scam.

I was not asked to disclose the payment. Draw your own conclusions.

This announcement is free.

Quote
I'm not saying he's on Adams level as I know he's a legit cypherpunk who's been around since day 1, but he's still done quite a lot of good for the bitcoin community as a whole.  I'm curious why you don't agree?
Joining something since day 1 does not mean anyone is the best or among the best.

And already RAB arrest 5 gang those are use bitcoin as a payment method for their credit card hacking or stealing forn abroad people. The those case is continues...
Using stolen assets (hacked credit cards, ie.) and use it to purchase anything is not accepted, and illegal. It is applied for all things you purchase with illegal money, you will be arrested by police when they find you.

You will be arrested not because you buy Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. It is because of stolen assets, money laundering, etc.

Bangladesh forces their locals to use P2P marketplaces such as Paxful or LocalBitcoins. Check data and see how trading volumes on 2 P2P marketplaces are increasing.
3220  Other / Meta / Re: Have bumping rules changed? on: July 27, 2021, 05:13:52 PM
I have one deleted bump like you described. If not one, it would be not more than two deleted bumps. Honestly, I felt weird for a moment.

So I guess it is a mistakenly handle from moderator. Anyway, it is not a big problem because I have 1 to 2 deleted bumps only. Moderators can handle it if they see it occasionally or if they receive report from forum members.

I don't believe the rule of bumping was changed recently. theymos did not write anything about that. The last update is two years ago.
