there is no certificate of qualifications to be a crypto developer, tokens are so damn easy to build through smart contract platforms
Certificate is from their source code. If their projects are created by source code of other projects and they only change minor details: project names, token name, ticker, total supplies, blocktime, block rewards. Those projects are scam.

I don't consider people who create and run scam projects as developers. They don't deserve to be called as developers.
3422  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The best platform to use for buy and sell crypto on: December 19, 2020, 02:08:39 PM
I need an advice for what I am planning.
- I want to ask another fee, maybe by percentage for every transaction. E.g. 200USD worth of BCH, beside the 200USD  I'll ask 2% transaction fee. So they will pay me 204 USD.
OR no need to ask this kind of fee? I'll just add some amount of buy/sell price or on the spread. So they can be somehow thankful for no transaction fee.
There are two things in a trade:
- Price of crypto asset: Ripple or BCH in your trades.
- Transaction fee.

Price is given in the offer details, before the trade opens.

Transaction fee: can be charge on the side of seller or buyer. In my opinion, the fee should be on the seller. On exchanges, lending, the buyer or lending service providers will be responsible for fee. It helps you to get more easily offer. The fee should be consider for your offer price and all things after that will be easy and smooth. Accept the offer, open a trade. If not, please search for other offers.
3423  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Crypto Groups in Telegram on: December 19, 2020, 02:29:34 AM
I tend to ignore community groups because there are lots of spammers and admins or moderators of community groups unable to instantly delete all spam posts.

As crypto traders or investors, joining Telegram groups of exchanges you are using is good. If they have different telegram groups (community, announcements, news), I will join the annoucements or news groups that often are view-only groups. You can get updates with those groups: maintenance, listing news, delisting news, events.

I don't promote for Binance but there is a page for Binance community: https://www.binance.com/en/community
You can choose https://t.me/binance_announcements or https://t.me/BinanceAcademy to join.

If you can not bring any good contributions to the admin, the ban appeal will fail. Admin or global moderators have to investigate your contributions and decide to accept your appeal if they see your past contributions are good enough.

I don't know which good contributions from you but see some pages in your post history, I can not find it. You created some campaigns or bounty topics that are not contributions for the forum. Your other posts are spam.

It is my neutral view on your contributions and post history.

The anniversary for last post of satoshi on the forum helps bitcoin rise to above $19,300 and tries its another round to break $20,000. Any coincidence?

The anniversary brings a good time to read Satoshi's lesson as one of way to remember of satoshi contribution and his time on the forum.

Try to protect sensitive information is good but Antonopolous warned (and I think he is right) that don't try anything that exceeds your ability and if your tries don't help you manage the whole process. Simple protection is good if you keep all things safely and secretly. Complicated protection does not mean better protection regards to the recovery process.

15+ days my account is older and I am still on learning stage. And I think it will take 6 month or more to understand it fully.
I am not sure you are real new member of the forum but skip this matter and I'd argue with you that 6 months are not long enough for you to fully understand the forum. It is a big forum and you won't manage to get through all of its boards, child boards, and discussions. I guess you can misunderstand rules too. You can have good understandings on rules for some boards you often visit but for boards you don't visit regularly, you will miss something.

If you visit a board, pay a few minutes to read Pinned topics.

They do not go out from the topic and only share that information which they experienced before or learn from anywhere.
You don't need to be hero or legendary member to do the same. They and you can follow a rule: only post if you see you have a good information, constructive discussion. If you don't have, skip your post and read only.

I always read the topic first and than to get information or knowledge I also read the comments of the legendary and heroes members which totally explain the topic.

This is exactly what I have been doing in order to avoid getting scammed or ended up being tricked. I have never experienced getting my funds hacked or compromised (except forgetting or lost the mnemonic phrases, private keys, etc.) ever since I’ve entered the crypto world. I am extra careful when it comes to dealing with those sites. I double or triple check them before engaging myself to create account or import existing wallet. I never fell for those fake apps because I dig down deep and researched to see if it’s legit or not.
You made a big quote (entirely quote my OP). Could you edit your post and skip the big quote, please.

You are lucky (no hack, no compromise) and you do a good practice with double or tripple check with the crypto app you are finding.

I will like to ask a question about this topic, for someone who doesn't know about this forum how will such person know the real link to a particular crypto website? As for me I can tell the difference even without knowing the real link, I've been using Google search for a long time now and I know original or official websites from ad and phishing links, before I find my way to this forum most of my research are through Google, that was how I knew binance exchange
In crypto, there are some big and trusted sites and you can find what you are looking for with them. Use them but don't trust them, and always do your checks.

Google search can help you to do your check (double check) with Google and tripple check with other search engines: Duckduckgo.

- They usually appear on top of Google Search, with the Ad tag.

3433  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tips to know when trading your cryptos . on: December 11, 2020, 01:54:50 PM
You missed a point. Learn to use a crypto wallet to store your crypto and wallet should be non-custodial.

Use exchanges and their custodial wallets to store your crypto are not good. You can say I am trading everyday but the more exposure your crypto currency have with exchanges and Internet, the more risk to be stolen, hacked. Exchanges can be hacked and not all of them will do compensation for you. Some exchanges do scam and exit and some of them abuse hacks as reasons to file up bankcruptcy and exit.

The article is good but I don't like what they missed. They should tell readers where to start, search and choose exchanges: coinmarketcap, coingecko. They only mentioned some big exchanges they like (who knows any beneficial reasons behind, sponsored article by those exchanges)

If newbies want to search exchanges, I would tell them to try with
- https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/
- https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges
- https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges

Store cryptocurrency in non-custodial wallets, save private keys or seeds.
Make deposits to good exchanges to take profits
Withdraw your crypto, fiat or stable coin from exchanges after your orders are filled.

It is a best approach, first for security and safety of your asset, second not all traders get profits from their trades.

Where would you guys recommend buying cryptocurrency for the lowest transaction fees? I've been researching but there's so many sites and a lot of them keep changing their fee structure. It's pretty confusing.
You can choose after filtering on https://www.cryptowisser.com/exchanges/

People are finding exchanges with low fee, as low as possible but they should pay their attention on security, reputation of potential exchanges they want to use. I meant that after you filter and get a list of few exchanges left, you need to research their history on security, reputation, hacks, scam. If you forget it, you can lose your capital. Save a little fee and lose capital, it is bad.
3436  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why do so many people set their fees so unnecessarily high? on: December 07, 2020, 06:03:47 AM
It depends on you if you want to rush and get your funds immediately go increase the transaction fee but if you just have more time lower the transaction fee.

High Tx fee = More faster
Low Tx fee = Takes time to process

This is just the basic concept also sometimes even you have a lower transaction fee let's say 50 sats or lower than that and if you check on mempool there are low unconfirmed transactions there is a chance that your Tx will process immediately.
It is not. You don't understand bitcoin transaction and mempool. 1 block can take any unconfirmed transactions at any rate of fee if the total size up to 1 MB from the bottom chart https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h

If the total size of mempool is 0.9 MB and there are unconfirmed transactions with fee from 1 sat/vbyte to 150 sat/vbyte, they will all be confirmed by a next block if mempool won't rise to more than 1 MB. By that explanation I meant unconfirmed transactions with fee 1 sat/vbyte or 150 sat/vbyte will get immediate confirmation (only one block of waiting)

Check it immediately, next confirmed block, transactions (unconfirmed with fee from 3+ to 400+ sat/vbyte) will probably be confirmed all.
3437  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Using a lower bitcoin denomination: Which side are you on? on: December 07, 2020, 01:51:48 AM
All and none.

No single unit should be enforced, both wallets and merchants must always have the option to easily convert between different units. For example when you want to purchase something worth $10 the merchant UI must show you the amount in bitcoin using the unit if your choice. For example you select bitcoin then it shows 0.00052500, you select satoshi it shows 52500 and so on. Same with your wallet.
BTC and mBTC are 2 units I use and I feel they are enough for me.

Too many zero figures can distort the process I imagine the difference of value of the transaction I make and the fee I use for it. If my budget is small, I choose mBTC. If my budget is not too small (0.01 BTC+) I choose BTC.

satoshi explained about it that how he decided to give bitcoin a smallest denomination (in satoshi as 1 millionth bitcoin).
I remember this discussion, actually.  

Finney, Satoshi, and I discussed how divisible a Bitcoin ought to be.  Satoshi had already more or less decided on a 50-coin per block payout with halving every so often to add up to a 21M coin supply.  Finney made the point that people should never need any currency division smaller than a US penny, and then somebody (I forget who) consulted some oracle somewhere like maybe Wikipedia and figured out what the entire world's M1 money supply at that time was.  

We debated for a while about which measure of money Bitcoin most closely approximated; but M2, M3, and so on are all for debt-based currencies, so I agreed with Finney that M1 was probably the best measure.  

21Million, times 10^8 subdivisions, meant that even if the whole word's money supply were replaced by the 21 million bitcoins the smallest unit (we weren't calling them Satoshis yet)  would still be worth a bit less than a penny, so no matter what happened -- even if the entire economy of planet earth were measured in Bitcoin -- it would never inconvenience people by being too large a unit for convenience.

The 21 Million Bitcoin Question
3438  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why do so many people set their fees so unnecessarily high? on: December 07, 2020, 01:31:44 AM
I finally figured out how the mempool and fees work and I've been watch the mempool constantly for a few days now. I have noticed lots people including ridiculously high fees. Like when 50 sat/vbyte is the minimum there were people including 6000 sat/vbyte. Or when 2 sat/vbyte would be enough like 30% of the people were setting there fees at 60 sat/vbyte.
1 or 2 satoshi/vbyte is only used if you are using a non-custodial wallet and be able to manually choose your fee. On exchanges or services, to avoid client complaints and avoid pressure on their customer support, they often choose overkilling fee for their clients. It is very easily to be seen with 1 or 2 MB from the tip of mempool. The total size of each fee level from 1-2 MB of mempool tip is usually very thin.

https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,2h. The size of fee from 140 sat/vbyte to 170 sat/vbyte is 0.003 MB (0.067 MB to 0.097 MB).

People choose low fee are from non-custodial wallet users and they have good practice and know how bitcoin transaction, mempool and fee works.

Quote
Why do people set their fees so unnecessarily high? Is it simply because of how default fees are set in wallets, by exchanges, or by services? If so, why do professional developers miscalculate the fee so poorly?
Use exchanges, merchants, services and don't care to choose options (if available: normal, average, fast but not all services have those fee options). Companies get profits from it and many services have their static fee, not dynamic fee. Static fee means it is fixed and they can reset it manually but after each reset, fee will be fixed again.

Security is a tricky topic.

In order to maintain security of your crypto currency, you have to maintain security of all of your accounts. For many people, it is the first time they have to carefully think about the security of their online identities and online devices.

When you lose your privacy, when your information get hacked, you do not feel it right away.
