3281  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: To Project Developers - Get Rid Of Greed & Make Investing In Start-ups Worth It. on: July 13, 2021, 09:27:13 AM
If you believe the token is overpriced, then how to determine the right price? I think there's not enough framework to guess that. Developers won't like it if they don't get enough funding for their development, especially if they're backed by some VC or private investors who request a lot of things.
If we compare all these projects with bitcoin then we can find the answer.

Satoshi didn't price his bitcoin when he launched, he let the actual supply and demand decides it that is how the actual startup should be instead of creating certain amount as supply and give a price tag to it.

Everyone wants to get profits there is no doubt about that but as long as someone funds the projects initially then they are going to dump it no matter how good the coin is so staying away from such projects make sense.
3282  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why people get merited without op being merit? on: July 12, 2021, 02:24:52 PM
I have noticed some things in this forum which I don't really know why it is so. I believe that creating quality posts and posting comments that has potentials of giving solutions and impacting knowledge to an op is of great importance here.

 I do see people being merited from other people's post even when the post has no merit. Some persons are so smart that, they we just attack the post Immediately without no good reasons rather than trying to correct the op and later get merited. Sometimes I know some posts are as useless as the op and it is not bad if a person get merit from it for good comment.

Why are comments being merited rather than the original post even when the post is of quality?
It happens here always and I think knowing the reasons would not bad.

Giving merit to a post is highly subjective, only user who wants to merit it can decide that so we can't expect every good post to get merit and also don't expect every merited post to be a good one, the one who merited that post may liked it or learnt something from it just like the way of responding.

In short, it should be as short as possible with the meaning which the user actually wanted to express whether it may be right or wrong statement but letting others know easily will let us to continue quality discussion instead of posting lengthy wall of texts or meaning less quides or some posts which actually created with the intention of gaining some merits so the users can get the more incentives from signature campaigns.

Constructing the post will have extra benefits since it will attract more people to actually read what has been written there.
3284  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Ignorance and greed, that's the cause of it all, everyone be warned. on: June 30, 2021, 10:36:09 PM
The reason why still there are people still investing on new projects simply because they still believes that there will be another bitcoin so they can be a millionaire or billionaire in the next 10 years if they invest on them now itself. But those days are gone and it is going to be only one bitcoin forever, no copycats are going to survive.

The small pumps hitting the market again and now the old investors again turning to btc but.The difference between panic sellers and holders is like this :


They just ignore the market up and down which always work for them but the others just see what is total distraction from your goals.So concentrate on what you have without your eyes always glued on market dips and red graphs.
When profit is the only thing on investors mind they will just go with the trend.

3287  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Fake alert during p2p trade on: May 16, 2021, 08:45:25 PM
I have some questions about your story and how the scammer totally compromised the account of the seller even though they're using P2P exchange which is purely decentralized and that decentralized exchange platform can act as an escrow between the seller and the buyer.
No, you understood the thing wrong, the one who wants to scam is not hacking anyone's bank account or LBC account, the trader himself is the scammer not the hacker. When doing trading on LBC or similar sites the trader will ask bank details, mobile number linked with the bank account so they simply send a message from tools which loos just similar like what kind of alert we get when our bank account is credited but its just a notification trick to scam you and only people who doesn't even bother checking their bank accounts after such alerts will fall for this.
3288  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Fake alert during p2p trade on: May 16, 2021, 03:18:57 PM
Well, its completely the trader's ignorance since the p2p exchange gives you an warning everytime before you release your btc like "please make sure you received your money" no matter what kind of the payment mode you asked for.. Therefore you should never release btc before checking your bank balance personally, not via the notification alert.

What can we do to save ourselves while trading on p2p sites like LBC, Paxful,etc?

Since I am an active trader on LBC and I can give you some guidance to avoid the scammers and how to tackle if we get scammed.

1. Never choose the advertisement from a trader
      a) who is having less number of completed trades
      b) who created account in the recent times
      c) who didn't verify their identity
      d) who does have more nagative feedback in the recent months
      e) who is not active for a while

2. Always go for the safest payment options which is bank transfers which is better when we compare it with PayPal and other online payment modes and less likely to be charged back.

3. Always get the payment receipt from the person who made deposit or transfer to your account and make sure the tx id or any identify number matches with the transaction your received..So you can use it for legal purposes if they opted for chargeback after the trade completed.

I find it hard when looking at bitcointalk  in a browser on a mobile. I am wondering is there an app or recommended browser that is more mobile device friendly?
There is no mobile version for the bitcointalk website but still the look of the website is not same on every mobile browser, for example of chrome you have to zoom in and zoom out to read the posts but If I am not wrong the posts will get auto zoom when you click post or reply so you can see the entire text box so no need to move your screen while typing, but this is not actually meant for mobile so better go with bigger screen.

I once gave some money to someone with a coinbase. And I sent it to her Gmail as a transaction. So where did she get that money? And how did she use it? I'm curious to know.
You didn't send it to her email, you just send it to her coinbase wallet since coinbase supports off-chain transactions so you no need to pay zero fee and the address you send is what she used to register on coinbase wallet.

@OP, Hhampuz decides that whether those posts are deserved to be paid or not and its not the job of the forum, as long as there is a source link in the forum then it won't be considered as Plagiarism. If you feel that these posts are not worthy then report the manager via PM and he will handle it.

I don't understand the language and don't want to evaluate someone's post is worthy or not worthy then let it to the respective members. @Hhampuz  please take care of it. Cheesy
3292  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Reputable escrow without network fees? on: May 15, 2021, 06:15:21 PM
it was my misconception that the network fees would cost me 200+ usd while dealing in btc... as its not very high i'll just use whatever means the escrow uses and ive decided to go with ognasty.
Like BTC fee, the network fee also highly volatile so you can't find the fee in the fixed region but all you can do is to consolidate all the inputs when fee is too low like 1-5 sat then you can make transfers with low fee, because weight decides how much you need to pay not the value of BTC.
That's a huge fee if that is $200 cost just for the transaction fee.  For now, at the moment, the transaction fee costs only 10 sats/vB above and it only costs approximately $0.69 which is very low.  I noticed since this month that the transaction fees on the mempool are frequently low.  Always check and monitor the transaction fee on the mempool.space before making any transaction in Bitcoin because it is also volatile that anytime it will increase up to even 100 sat/vB.

Any P2P exchanges can act as escrow by themselves, there is no need to hire an escrow service.  If you trust that exchange then, good for you to buy and sell Bitcoin there.  Like LBC, Hodl Hodl, Paxful, and many more, I suggest having your own research first.
Size of the transaction matters the most, so if OP wants to send 200 worth of BTC to someone and he may still have to pay all the 200 as fee itself if all the transaction came into hundreds of small inputs that is why consolidating is important.

OP not actually talking about the escrow of LBC, he just wanted to use LBC wallet for the escrow purpose because they can have little fee when the network is congested compared to ours because they do batch withdrawals so you can get some benefits but don't forget LBC have deposit fee around 10 -15$ at the moment so they will deduct that amount for every deposit you make.

@Ognasty is a good choice and most reputed as well but don't forget escrow have their own fee and they are not working for free. Smiley

I'm sorry if that's rude but you were expecting merits on this post to help you achieve your goal, Isn't it?
I think I also needs to make a thread because I am just lacking 28 merits to become a sr.member rank account. Cheesy

@OP never chase merits, just chase your goals and try to gather more knowledge as much as you can!

Anyway good luck!
3295  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mark Zuckerberg named his goat Bitcoin on: May 15, 2021, 04:18:05 AM
For some reasons it is asking me to login to facebook to continue and no luck even when tried on different browsers.

Facebook who knows the importance of privacy and data is going to be the next big asset of this world so he started collecting it for very long time now bitcoin is actually going against his idea so he wants to manipulate with his stupid strategies. Cheesy

But mark needs to know that facebook is almost died, now they are surviving with instagram!
Do you have some info behind that? Because it will be interesting to read about Facebook losing its popularity as I really think that the social network has had an awful impact on the world and it is the cause of an incredibly amount of wasted time all over the world as people keep checking their Facebook account to see if something is happening instead of attending more important responsibilities like their job or the person right in front of them.
It obviously visible, meh?

Yes I am also having an account one face book for almost 8 or more years but I rarely logged into it in the last 3 years, and also statistically people are using Instagram more than facebook, especially girls and after the arrival of whatsapp and telegram then people rarely use these social media apps for chatting purpose.
3296  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Collation of Bitcoin ATM location on: May 14, 2021, 02:11:25 PM
What we are looking for is information regarding the locations of Bitcoin ATMs and the usage requirements/procedures.
It is possible only if someone who used that ATM personally should give such information because it is not even available on their respective websites and only few of Bitcoin ATMs are allowing people to sell their BTC and get USD or other fiat while most others are having just only the buying option.
So what's is the need of using Bitcoin ATM machine since it can't be use for purchasing of Bitcoin, the function is to withdraw Bitcoin or is meant for conversion of any cryptocurrency to fiat currency, i can see that majority in the community have not seen this machine life or used it before but base on internet research they can discuss brief about Bitcoin, it's better for the programers who programmed the machine to add more informations in other to keep it or make it relevant.
Sorry I posted in the opposite, by now I want to correct that most BTC ATMs are allowing people to buy BTC and few of them are 2 way ATMs, probably because of AML policies.

We actually don't need Bitcoin ATMs to be honest when we can do everything in online and their fees are too huge compare to the fee of an exchange so its just here for any emergency need of cash when can't execute our trade orders and withdraw money to our bank accounts.
3297  Other / Off-topic / Re: Recovery for Google Authenicator on: May 14, 2021, 07:24:33 AM
You can only recover the codes if your app is still running but it seems like you are talking about installing the google authenticator from app store so my guess is you already uninstalled the app now want to recover them.

If yes then its impossible but you can recover the codes on the new app by entering the codes given when you are registering on any account for example the recovery codes of 2FA to activate for the first time can be used to recover it, or you have to ask the support to disable it for you then enable new 2FA.

Only the moderator who deleted it can explain it why it was deleted,

I can understand your feeling but that's how it used to be in bitcointalk so we have no choice other than accepting it.



Adding the reason for post deletion can be valuable and avoid threads like this in future when a moderator delete a post and leave a note for doing it discussed many times already but there is no progress about it.

We can see an obvious change in posting behaviour in that account, from huge and well grammar sentences to broken and generic posts, I can assure that this account was sold or hacked using phishing attack. Since there is no record of crypto address posted in that account then cryptios team may take a look at this case and give a solution.

Global mod can still handle it, if you have any serious spam reported posts then multiple reports may help them to get priority in the moderation. Theymos is not interested in hiring new moderators and he is not showing any interest for very long time.

So the global mods have more work load so it may take a while to get them moderated. Smiley
