Are you sure it's not because they are affraid to send their password through an insecure network instead?
I thought it was for this reason. If they only want to show they're currently not in front of their computer they could indicate it in their signature or Personal Text.
No, I'm not really sure of the reason (I should have added "probably" there). What you said makes more sense given that they are security freaks (I believe) or we could be both wrong. Anyway, I'm just adding another reason why some users have alt accounts.
3262  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Flaws in 4G/5G - Interception of calls and messages! on: February 25, 2020, 03:29:21 PM
Sorry if this might sound stupid, will the risk of losing crypto from this kind of attack be lessened using Google 2FA instead of SMS 2FA? Also, how does these 4G/5G networks gets attacked? What I understand as of now is that an attacker can get my exact mobile number, hear conversations from my calls, and read messages I send.



~ Yes, because the SMS message itself is what's going to be potentially be stolen afaik. Google 2FA codes can't be stolen unless you're device itself is infected(and rooted).
Thank you.

Some times back I was looking for TRON wallet to save my tron and at the same time it should be eligible for BTT air drop. Trust wallet is supporting TRX coins? If support TRX, my holding on trust wallet will be eligible for BTT air drop? Please guide me on my doubts whenever your time permits. Thanks.
Here is the link to trust wallet for Android smartphones
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wallet.crypto.trustapp

And if you are using iPhone or IOS here is the link
https://apps.apple.com/app/trust-ethereum-wallet/id1288339409
~

I'm going to add the official website

Code:
https://trustwallet.com/

Coins supported
  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Litecoin (LTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Binance Coin (BNB)
  • Ripple (XRP)
  • Stellar (XLM)
  • Dash (DASH)
  • TRON (TRX)
  • Tezos (XTZ)
  • Cosmos (ATOM)
  • Dogecoin (DOGE)

Regarding your question about the BTT airdrop, the best people to ask is their support team but you might want to read this article also https://trustwallet.com/blog/bittorrent-airdrop-supported-by-trust-wallet
3264  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I want to invest in Chiliz. What do you think? on: February 25, 2020, 02:23:45 PM
Next time you ask opinions from the community of a relatively unheard token (atleast to me), please save us the time to search for it. At the very least, post some official links like CMC, website, etc. for reference.



As to Chiliz (CHZ), I had a quick look at CMC and it seems like you are late for the party. It already pump around middle of this month and it might take another major rumor/development before it pumps again (check their roadmap to be sure). I would refrain from investing in altcoins that recently pumped. 

3265  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trust wallet rocks on: February 25, 2020, 02:00:30 PM
I don't use Trust wallet but I know it is open source unlike Coinomi. That's probably an added advantage over other mobile wallets.



~
Though i am not sure it's a good idea to store too much on such wallet, assuming it's not decentralized wallet and not used on a safe mobile device. It's probably better to use the wallet for storing coins(few coins especially) you want to spend short term
When it comes to wallet, it's either custodial or non-custodial (both Trust wallet and Coinomi are non-custodial). I do agree that it's not ideal to store crypto in mobile wallets for long term.



That is true, I use coinomi too to store my altcoins. Because it is really easy to use, I only need to download coinomi on google play and install it and keep all my private key secretly in order to avoid some bad thing come. Other than I use I'm Token to store my ERC20, seem like it very easy to use rather you choose myetherwallet. Because currently, you need some effort if you use myethereallet comparing to I'm token you just need to download it and install it on your phone and you can check your token simply.
You should read the OP again. He/She is basically saying that Trust wallet is better than Coinomi.

Maybe some things to add there:
  • Reasons why newbies are usually asked to send first or use a reputable escrow. Some of them could be wondering why they need to do it and it's important that they understand. One reason is that many newbies in the past have been involved in scams and the community doesn't want anyone to fall victim again. A reputable escrow also serves as their own protection
  • Some users might have fake feedbacks/trust scores so don't trust those greens blindly. Read Trust Selfscratchers: who scratched his own back the most?
3267  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Having secondary/multiple accounts purpose is..? on: February 25, 2020, 09:10:02 AM
Some create alt accounts and use it to indicate whether they are in front of their computer, on mobile, or somewhere.

Examples:
Main account: theymos (Alt account: theymos_away)
Main account: LoyceV (Alt account: LoyceMobile)

Bitcoin was once "marketed" by some people as bank killer or something along those lines. But now, we see articles like this that praises laws/regulations that banks themselves were pushing for. Ironic isn't it?

Developers of bitcoin, ethereum, and even litecoin are talking about increasing privacy and yet here we are being happy about regulators mandating exchanges that we use to collect more personal data from us.

1-yung tanong ko, ano bang violatin ng abs cbn na pwedeng mag cause ng shut down?
2- Anong posibleng mangyari sa stocks kung may stocks ang abs cbn, at yung mga banko na inuutangan nila, di kaya malulugi?
3- Anong possibling result sa Philippine economy if mangyari ang shut down considering billions ang binabayad nila sa tax?
1. Better read the Quo Waranto filed by Sol Gen Calida para malaman yung mga violations ng ABS.

2. Ewan ko lang kung delist ng SEC yung stocks as a result of franchise non-renewal. Yung sa utang, pwede naman yan mabayaran kapag ma-liquidate mga properties nila.

3. Tingin ko not that much effect on the economy. Kung tama hinala ko, napaghandaan na yan ng gobyerno.

I doubt that you accidentally registered from a banned country but assuming what you're saying is true, the most likely scenario if you submit your documents is that they will still not allow you to withdraw your funds. I don't think they will buy your "honest" mistake and just tell you it's your fault for not reading their TOS. Don't bother recovering your funds on that exchange.

I cannot find any announcement that support these two. Can you share the links that some parliamentarians are pushing for the approval of bitcoin and the announcement of the Pakistan President about these free courses?

What is clear right now is that the Pakistan State Bank ordered financial and monetary service providers not to have any crypto transactions

~
The formula of multiplying total share or coins are not applied any of the coins' mcap in CMC. I have checked a few of the top 10 listed coins like ETH and other, each coin has used the circulating supply for calculating the mcap, you can check yourself.
There's a difference between stock mcap and crypto mcap- https://blockgeeks.com/guides/cryptocurrency-market-cap/#Stock_market_cap_vs_Cryptocurrency_market_cap
Consider this:

The definition of market capitalization has been around even before cryptocurrencies existed. For some reason, some guy/groups started to have their own definition and their own formula then applied it to cryptocurrencies.

There shouldn't be a market cap that only applies to stocks and only to cryptos. Between the two, I would stick to the definition I shared. You can't say that I am wrong or confused too just because some new guy said that is how crypto marketcap should be computed.
3273  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is Market Cap on: February 24, 2020, 07:51:08 AM
Let's start with some definition from investopedia

Market capitalization is the aggregate market value of a company represented in dollar amount. Since it represents the “market” value of a company, it is computed based on the current market price (CMP) of its shares and the total number of outstanding shares. It is commonly referred to as "market cap," where “cap” represents capitalization - a financial term used for indicating the size of the company.

Current market price is easy to understand so let's go with the definition of outstanding shares

Shares outstanding refer to a company's stock currently held by all its shareholders, including share blocks held by institutional investors and restricted shares owned by the company’s officers and insiders. Outstanding shares are shown on a company’s balance sheet under the heading “Capital Stock.” The number of outstanding shares is used in calculating key metrics such as a company’s market capitalization, as well as its earnings per share (EPS) and cash flow per share (CFPS). A company's number of outstanding shares is not static and may fluctuate wildly over time.

Let's connect it now to crypto based on the above definitions.

Outstanding shares is similar to the total coin/token supply. Thus, market capitalization of a coin/token should be computed as total supply x current market price.

It's the same formula used in the post you are referring in the OP
~
lets say you have 100 apples and put all in circulation. now if 1 apple is worth $1 then the true market capitalization of apples is $100 (supply * price).
now lets say you have 100 apples but only put 10 of them in circulation. now if 1 apple is worth $1 you still get the same market capitalization of $100 but it is fake because the real market cap is $10

When did you buy this coin? It appears that the hype is over for this one.

~ One of the most important features of this project is that they have their own blockchain and will start their own exchange.
Having your own blockchain is definietly better than having none but let's see who will use it and how many.
What is this exchange? Is it similar to commercial exchanges that have their own coins/tokens (i.e Binance, Kucoin)? or just an internal exchange? Sadly for you, either one of them probably won't pump the price of NRG. I mean, the cryptocurrency exchange hype is gone. Just see how new exchanges are struggling to make name for themselves.

I only know Benavidez on this card. I'm not exactly sure why he is fighting. He should have retired together with his team buddies Mendez and Faber. He ain't getting that belt even if Mighty Mouse left the UFC.

He wasn't out of shape. That's what getting punched in the head/ear can do to you. Same thing happened in the Joshua fight.
This is not my thing. What I know is that you get wobbled temporarily when you're hit in the ear/behind the ear but he wasn't punch hard there in rounds one and two.

@Theb mentioned that Wilder wasn't his confident self and I also saw that from the first round. He was really off. Maybe we weren't used to seeing him backpedaling.
3278  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance is giving away money to them who are already rich! on: February 24, 2020, 05:20:06 AM
I noticed they reached 1.1M followers on twitter and this must be related to the giveaway.

Binance is the best exchange for everyone
It is for people who ignores the shady practices of this exchange (i.e. fake news of HQ at Malta) but it is NOT the best for everyone.

but it seems they don't care every trader rather only the rich one! They are making rich people richer when they have no plan for every type of trader! Binance is giving away 1.1 Million USD worth BNB coin to them who will trade over 1 Bitcoin with some rules!
Just drop that making rich people getting richer. You are only complaining because you don't have what it takes to join. It is their exchange and funds so it's only natural that they set their own rules. It will not be their last giveaway, they might launch another trading giveaway for users with less funds.

I really don't like this type of movements!
So what you gonna do? If you don't like it then you either ignore/don't use the exchange OR just get funds worth 1 btc so you can participate next time. Stop whining.



For everyone's reference Binance Launches 50,000 BNB Community Giveaway

What is halving first? Halving is cutting into half the supply of the bitcoin this process always happen every time,
I think you are just as confused/misinformed as the OP. You should also read pooya87's comment above to understand what happens to bitcoin supply every halving.

Your comment is long but most of it are unrelated and irrelevant to mine.



~ Btc price would not increase because people are anticipating this years halving. I may be wrong, but I have this thought going on in my head that those who are too bothered about this halving and if it will increase the bitcoin price are those bitcoiners who want just a get rich quick scheme, not a network they love, admire and want to continue using for the foreseeable future.
~
Whatever your reason, belief or ideology, it doesn't change the fact that bitcoin's price is rising as we get closer to the halving.
