No easy way to make money. In the forum or in your life. If it is easy, everyone would be rich.

$20 is not a small money and not small if you are talking about daily income. In good signature campaigns, as with the Hero member rank (my rank), you can get the income at $50 or $60, for every week, not every day.

I have to put my efforts into my posts, it is not easy.

The best campaign in forum pays $300 every week or $43 every day. Each week, user has to make 50 posts and believe me, it is not easy to join that campaign and make 50 extraordinary posts every week.

Amazing, I did not know this one so thank you.

- Can I cancel my transaction on Loopring?
- Can I replace my transaction with higher gas fee when it is stucked?

Cancel or replace transactions can be finished with transactions on ERC20 chain and some wallets. It claims no gas fee but I think plan B is not bad.

When have trades on P2P exchanges, it is very important to restrict your trades with old users, with good reputation for their past trades. Scammers compromise P2P exchanges with the new accounts every day. When their accounts are banned or restricted because of their fraudulent trades, they will create other new accounts to repeat their scams.

Have trades with old and reputable trade partners can give you an unofficial mark of safety. As a buyer, on P2P exchanges, when you are done with your payment, you must remember to click on "Paid". It helps to prevent the trade expiration and scam sellers get released bitcoin in escrow. Buyer will lose money and won't receive bitcoin.

Exchange wallet is for trade and not for storage. You store your bitcoin, crypto on exchange, in exchange wallets for temporary purposes, and for trading. If you hold crypto and plan to wait for months to take profit, let's move them to your own non custodial wallets.

Binance has a good service and their reputation is good as they compensated customers in past hack. They might compensate for future hacks but they also might not. Bet your life on exchange even it is Binance is not good.

Store crypto in your own non custodial wallets require you to manage all risks and sometimes, for some people, exchange wallets are better. I could be wrong but I think if a person has an infected device and bad behavior, exchange wallet is better as exchange has multiple layers of protection.

Thank you. I see your points.

The two fiats made me feel that they are main fiats your service supports. About the rate, I guess not all people know about Preev.com if they are newbies. I did not know it many months after the day I knew about bitcoin. The preev.com is more popular and known  by guys who have main jobs to make money online. For investors, I think most of them don't know about it.

If it makes sense, a small hyperlink to preev.com for the Crypto Calculator or somewhere on your website will be not bad. No adverse effect for your website, I believe so.

Losses can come from your personal mistakes on healthy (clean) devices or from attacks, steals on your unhealthy (infected) devices. They are different sort of losses.

2FA is good, cold wallet is good but I don't consider them as a unique way to store and protect my bitcoin. Personally, spending more fee for 2FA with wallet is unnecessary in my opinion. Especially for small bitcoiner like me.

Below steps are enough for me:
- Use a good non-custodial wallet (Electrum or Bitcoin Core)
- Make usable multiple backups for wallets
- Set up strong passwords for wallet files and back it up too
- Always keep your devices clean from threats: limit the number of times it has connection to the Internet. When you connect it to the Internet, stay being healthy.
- Be careful and do multiple checks when upgrade wallets or broadcast transactions.
- Play innocent and don't let others know that you are bitcoiner, bitcoin investor. 

More advice for security and privacy can be found with many topics in my compilation: Good topics on security and privacy

satoshi as the person/group care(s) about privacy and anonymity obviously don't want to disclose real identities with social media platforms. Twitter and Facebook are not platforms for privacy or anonymity from the reasons they were born.

I can not skip the twitter account of the forum, the official one. The quoted post is the confirmation of theymos on that account with inquiries from community about it legitimacy.

Binance is a good exchange and you can trust it. For your lifespan, you need  custodial wallets to store your bitcoin. The same way whales, institutes move their bitcoin from exchanges to their wallets (cold wallets maybe).

https://electrum.org/#download
https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/

Electrum is lighter and does not require huge data space to store the blockchain data on your computer. With bitcoin core, you can use prune node if you don't have enough data space but prune node has its flaws (resync wallet from genesis block).

If you only need a wallet to store, send, receive bitcoin, has issues with storage space, and don't have need to use Coin Join transactions, Electrum is a wallet to go.

Off topic but your username is email address that is bad. You can send request to theymos to change your username. I know one user weeks ago got acceptance to change username (from email address to a new one).
Good topics on security and privacy. You will get some topics for wallets, backups, how to make transactions safely, privacy, and more.

Many exchanges claim that they are decentralized and are classified by marketcap websites like that but they are not true DEX. Some of true DEX.
https://hodlhodl.com/
https://bisq.network/

Even if you are using a really decentralized exchange, it does not 100% mean that all your identities, information are private. At least your trade partners will have those details and no one can protect you if your trade partners save those details, sell them in future. I don't imagine why they have interest to behave like that but who knows.

Big problems with DEX are very low volume and sometimes you have to wait patiently to see your offers get accepted and opened by trade partners.

You must have a clear mind with altcoins.

They are good for you to speculate or trade and not good for you to invest. With bull market you can earn more with altcoins but with bear market or corrections, you will lose more with altcoins. In long time, 2 to 4 years, you will lose with altcoins.

If you have interest in one altcoin, see the chart, if it is in a parabola rise, stay away from it and find another one.

How much money you want to spend with altcoins, it depends on how much money you wan to spend for crypto investment.

But as a crypto investors, you could not spend more than 20% or 30% of your capital for altcoins. 70% or 80% of your capital could be used for bitcoin.

USD value is final outcome for investment. I don't believe in value of USDT or stable coins as those companies can be shut down or attacked by lawsuits. I don't bet my capital on stable coins

Have a price to equalise the investment if bought ETH at its 2018 all time high is better than take loss, cut loss. I don't know how many investors patiently and bravely to hold ETH from 2018 to 2021 and make their equalizer or a small profit for their 2018 investment.

I don't believe that ETH with the price higher than $4k but it is crypto. Many DeFi tokens have too high price so why ETH won't be able to claim higher price. In the bull market, everything is possible and if you consider the 2018 market, the price more than $1200 for ETH is crazy.

Re-oreganization is different than double-spend. The Bitcoin Double-Spend That Never Happened

This video need to be watched during the fud time. Cryptocurrency Explained: Understanding "Double-spend", Block Re-Organization, & Consensus [Bitcoin]
(kidding: why did Antonop need double laptops when he recorded the video?)

It is a challenge for Ethereum but I don't say it is impossible. ETH/BTC price as percent shows it is possible for Ethereum.

Bitcoin marketcap: $592,314,286,374
Ethereum marketcap: $140,463,256,835

Ethereum need a x4.2 rise from its price today and bitcoin stays at today price to touch bitcoin marketcap. From 3.85% to 15% is x3.9 that is close to x4.2. I don't check but I think Ethereum has bigger and faster supply issuing rate than bitcoin.

Congratulations Ethereum enthusiasts and investors with the new all time high for Ethereum about $1400.

I have the chart for Ethereum price as percent of Bitcoin price. The photo is taken from skew.com's Tweet
As percent of bitcoin price, Etherum has min at 0.2%, max at 15% and today it is 3.85%. If bitcoin won't rise more but Ethereum increases more and claims it 15% again, its price can be $4785. The price will blow my mind away.

Forum has ban for ban evasion so how about this case as MCW was banned by theymos as continuously troll

[CENSORSHIP] Matthew N. Wright. If the Bitcoin SV is under the ownership of MCW, it can be considered as ban evasion.

It's a FUD. Double spend on bitcoin network. No as there is no financial returns for attackers if they have and readily to spend expensive cost to do attack.

Why the double spend attack happened this year, not years ago when mining pools under control of Bitman have almost or more than 51% total hashrates on the network. The attack can only be done by very big pools when they combine their hashrates. It is impossible for a single guy, group outside those pools to steal hashrates and run attacks.

Question for Coinswap

Which chain the Nakitcoins.com and its coinswap feature supports for Tether USD (USDT)?
- Do you support TRC20 chain as the fee on this chain is very cheap if compares to OMNI layer on Bitcoin network or ERC20 on Ethereum network?
- If it does not support TRC20 chain, I hope the team will consider to support it.
- No one knows how cheap the fee on ERC20 chain will be after Ethereum 2.0 goes live.

Question for Crypto Calculator
- The site and calculator supports only 4 currencies now: Bitcoin, Ethereum, US dollar and Euro.
- Do you plan to support other fiat currency?
- That site gives support for many fiat.
- Include the milibitcoin unit can be good too (mBTC unit). For other bitcoin units, I don't think they are necessary.

Thanks and have an awesome weekend.

So now have you see the amount of bitcoin in your wallet or account? The amount you sent with this hash: cb6b3866e1de1f393a434a469a1029a752f71690f172fb9d30e780903324403a

I asked this question because I found another transaction to the same address, and it is the newest one that was sent around 2 hours after that transaction you got trouble.
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/127e6d9ae9d2fa8fd76207fca1ddd14b6152c2243a6de395435adc1c7ab7ee21
That one was confirmed too.

I doubt that if you are the sender, why did you take risk to send another amount if the problem is not solved yet?

If you got that trouble with account on third party platform, you need to contact their support as sometimes system will fail to credit balance to your account. It can be from the platform you are using or from a third party provider for that platform. Anyway, only solution: contact support.

News we are hearing, reading or watching are only tips of iceberg. Many things were prepared and done before the news/ press releases. They are triggers but not real reasons.

Trading or investing with the total dependence on news are terrible.
