This was not necessary. I understand there are DDoS protection but this is manipulation.
Likewise here, frankly it may be annoying to many users.
Is this the time to get more paid ranks for those who don't want to access BTT using Cloudflare host? a subdomain for them or https://protonmail.com/blog/ddos-protection-guide/

On average, trying to brute force a wallet with 12 words (12! = 479,001,600) is a waste of time (a possible combination of 2^128= 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456,) so if you want more security, use 24 words.

You can add words, but then you will increase the risk of losing one, which may mean wasting your money if the words become too many.
So 24 words is enough to avoid a brute force attack.

I think we all saw how TWT airdrop happened, it would be good if the conditions were set and therefore not everyone would benefit from it. However, if it includes every user of the wallet, it may mean identity verification or some additional conditions.

In general, this airdrop will not be valuable and will cause more problems for the project than real financial opportunities for them.

Do not forget that it may increase fraud cases since many beginners are willing to enter their wallet seeds as soon as they are asked about it.

Again, I am. It here to shill LUNA or their tokens: I am here to think: “is it possible to build a decentralised, trust less bitcoin standard?
All I understood here is that the altcoin developers and  instead of trying to buy bitcoin indirectly they are buying bitcoin directly with promises to investors that they will get paid in return for giving developers more money for free.

Perhaps the thing that made them more tempted is that people continue to believe in 1 USDT as USDT == 1 USD EVEN there is no reserve equal to 10% of the assets sufficient for all coins that have been printed. Therefore, as soon as the fees are low, and you gain trust, the free money will flow to you.

In short, they will buy more until people start to trust the project and then the money will flow.

However, do consider yourself lucky that you were only stolen about $400 USD - just on April 1st someone sent this address 27 ETH[3] and 14.000 USDT[4]! As you can see the scammers wallet has transacted roughly 62 ETH so far and I don't think this number will stop. The best that we can do is follow this guide[5] and report the scammers to registrar in the hopes of the website being removed/shutdown.
I don't think that someone will send about 27 Ethereum to the address of a site that was created several days ago, so the most likely scenario is for this scammer to make some fake deposits to prove that there are huge trading volumes on the site.
To the user, sorry for losing your money, but scammers are lazy and will make mistakes sooner or later. Try to track those coins and if you find that they expired in a central platform, then you may be able to recover them.
But for now, take it as a lesson to you.
3566  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cheap cryptocurrencies such us xrp and new economic reset on: April 08, 2022, 11:38:11 AM
Do not think of currencies in terms of numbers, meaning how much they are worth in dollars, but as a value or ability to buy.
One of the main things that make the price of a currency increase is supply and demand, which is that there is a fundamental reason to use that currency.

For example, despite the low price of MATIC, the supply is what made this coin valuable due to the high fees of Ethereum.

So what is the reason for using XRP? Ripple is a centralized protocol, with an open supply, and therefore the currency aims to be more stable than a speculative asset, so do not expect changes to occur more than one dollar.

The main reason for using TRX is the low fees and centralization, so many people use the USDT protocol on it, but over time and the decrease in ether fees or the emergence of cheaper networks, you will find that its value will decrease.

Therefore, demand here is more important than supply.

I don't know, but the idiot is the one who thinks that you can enter a war and expect a quick profit.

As for losses, there are no accurate statistics and all sources of information come to us from non-neutral parties and from American intelligence, which may be misleading and untrue.

The reality now is that there is a war going on and people without fault are suffering, the focus should be to stop this war and start real peace negotiations without sending more troops from Russia or more weapons from the West.

The absence of a real desire for peace will mean the continuation of the meaning of acquittal for the longest possible period.

This malware targets social media like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
Perhaps this is an additional reason that pushes you to stop using "social media," most of the social media have turned into tools for collecting information, so it is better to try to reduce their use if not stop visiting them.

Connecting your device that contains a wallet to the Internet is enough reason to put a bug in your security, let alone download random applications or that gives you a “free” subscription.

In general, it is better to use a hardware wallet if you do not have a technical background or air gapped pc.

When i login my mail on Web.de the mail got locked. If anybody help me to short this issue. I will pay them 10$ in usdt or bitcoin.
You should contact the support team to find out the real reason behind this problem, which lies in several reasons, after that you can ask them gently to remove the restrictions imposed on your account (if the reason is hacking, spamming, etc.)
I don't know why you want to keep using web.de, the platform has had a lot of negative responses lately[1].

Paying a user here to create an account/solve problem  may get you unbanned, but if you go back to using your same devices/IP address, you will be banned/locked again.

The above-mentioned story is repetitive and its value is in human greed. People are trying to get money with the least effort and therefore when they hear the word (free money) or (easy profit), their mind stops logical thinking, especially if they hear that someone has won from that money.
This greed is exactly what referrals are looking for by making people believe that they will earn fast or make money effortlessly and thus linking your wallet to that site seems like an easy activity.

If you are so greedy, link wallets that do not contain any balance, but remember the free money means a risk and it is better to avoid any suspicious site.

Open your browser and go to ---> https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt
Click on CRTL+F5 (windows) or any search tool.
Check which part of that word is missing.

If you are sure of all the words are correct and in correct order, lost a letter or two then this option is convenient and easy.
But if you forgot the word completely, finding a word or two won't take long if you use ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5214021.0 .
3572  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How I planned to keep my keys, good or stupid? on: April 07, 2022, 03:34:00 PM
There are plenty of online tutorials for keeping private keys but general tips:

 - Stay away from keeping it digital.
 - Avoid keeping multiple copies in public places.
 - Try to store it in a medium that withstands water, temperature, corrosion, and physical shock.

you can try Stonebook, i wrote about them here  -----> Stonebook: Secure Notebook for crypto

3573  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can a service whose code is close sourced be regarded as decentralized? on: April 07, 2022, 12:38:57 PM
It depends Are all parts of the code closed source or some? Who is developer team developing this wallet? Can the seed be export? Extract the private key.

One of the examples is Blockchain.com wallet. We cannot describe them as DEXs wallet because there are not a single case of hacking has been recorded, and the platform cannot protect you if you lose your money, but at the same time we cannot consider it open source.

If the wallet is open source, you should not trust unless you check every line of the code yourself or trust a third party who has done so.
3574  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is there interested in a no KYC exchange. on: April 07, 2022, 12:09:18 PM
What you do is contrary to the terms of use[1] of Binance, as it prevents the use of the account for commercial purposes or allowing others to use your  account and the reason for that is KYC is something limited to the user and it will fail if multiple users have the same access to that account.

Therefore, as soon as Binance becomes aware of the company's activity, your account/s will be frozen and all funds in it will be confiscated.

3576  Economy / Economics / Re: Bryan Solstin, US Senate Candidate: I Will Make Bitcoin Legal Tender on: April 07, 2022, 11:01:04 AM
One hand does not clap, the strength of the United States is its currency as it is backed by the US military and therefore there is no need for them to make Bitcoin a legal Tender next to USD.

The best that can happen is to recognize Bitcoin as a currency like all other currencies and accept it and keep it as a reserve like other assets and gold, but I do not see that the same model that was applied in El Salvador will be applied in the United States.
3577  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: BitPay integrates the lightning network ⚡ on: April 07, 2022, 10:20:02 AM

I just tried to deposit to my Namecheap account using BitPay, and LN is there so I'm guessing they enabled it for all existing merchants.
Has there been any change in the company's management staff? I remember that all their steps were to support altcoins, especially BCH.
Overall, I remember reading an article about them dying slowly so maybe some changes were made in the company's policy.
any way they processes an average of about 2K transactions per day and LN will reduce fees a lot
3578  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Best Practices after a hack on: April 06, 2022, 11:54:00 AM
It certainly is a head scratcher.  It seems inconceivable that someone would get 2 of 4 keys, but like you said, there must have been a breakdown in the process somewhere.

The process of tracking coins is one thing and recovering them is another thing, you need to be lucky to succeed in tracking those coins and then recover them because the only way to recover them is to deposit those coins in central platforms or a third party that can be controlled.

2 out of 4 will make a bug in your security model because if the scammer's access to any two of the four keys means that you will lose your money.
3 out of 5 would be a good choice, or more.

Now you have to move all the coins to another place, check all the things that led to the hack and then think about how to recover those coins

Trezor customer order data is purged after 90 days. The data contained in this leak originates from a separate database secured by a third party.

I've read the article but I can't find details. Will it update how data is shared with third parties or update it? All they talked about was updating their newsletter.

In general, why is there no password (special character) assigned to each account that is added at the end of each message?
I think that such an update will make it more difficult for the scammers, although I don't think they will delete their database within the 90 days or give proof of that.
3580  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Coingate.com is A SCAM on: April 06, 2022, 11:09:20 AM
It is strange, but I checked the first 5 pages of negative reviews (1 Star feedback) on trustpilot[1], and only you encountered this problem, certainly as you mentioned, the problem is not from SEPA, and since no one else complained, it is likely that the platform is related to Coingate.
Coingate.com has a good track record and therefore it is difficult to consider them scammers but the recurrence of these incidents is a clear negative sign.

you can try BTCPay Server[2] or Coinbase Commerce[3]
