I can't tell if it's scam or not, I can find it from a search engine.

Why can't you just ask them to ship via someone you know?

There's not much we can do to help, you're going to have to wait on the support to get back to you. Did you not enable 2fa or a secondary password?

Your funds are likely gone if it isn't a glitch on their system - you're going to probably have to take this as a lesson if you have more btc to accumulate or more btc in general. Blockchain or any Web wallet isn't very secure.

Actual arbitrage is legit, the bots probably aren't.

Arbitrage is just depositing X amount of n coins on one exchange and the same amount of X n coins on another.
When one drops down in market price, an order executes to buy at the lower price and another order is Plas ced on the other exchange to sell at the higher price so uou still end up with the same amount of funds. You or the bot will then have to withdraw the difference to make the accounts the same again.

Do you remember anything about the password or what it could've resembled? I. E would it have had 8 characters, alphanumeric only or with special characters?

Do you know any passwords around the time also, there could be a style you've created with how you make them?
3565  Economy / Economics / Re: Why has the s&p500 already made a full recovery? on: August 26, 2020, 06:55:27 PM
I was initially expecting more blood in the real estate market, another harsh leg down to lower lows, sometime this year. On the REIT charts it would look something like 2008-2009. I'm sitting on a lot of cash and ready to pull the trigger if the market were to dip where I'm hoping, but I'm just not too confident in that scenario anymore. The residential market has remained somewhat robust, at least the markets I'm interested in (houses or townhouse style condos in second tier cities or inner suburbs). Now I'm leaning towards rolling that cash back into more liquid investments and putting real estate on the back burner, at least as far as home buying goes. On the business side (commercial warehousing and office space) I'm more confident I can scoop up good value over the next year or two. Residential.....I just don't know.

Last time real estate fell in 18 months after the downwrd leg.

I longed it at the start of the stock market crash - assuming people would be more confident in housing.  I was also under the impression a stock market crash would lower interest rates - and the common knowledge is generally when interest rates fall, house prices go up to compensate for it. Not that it'd do too much now but I could still see people getting remortgage rates at 2% here or something (i've heard 2.6%) - with the BoE interest rate set at 0.5% afaik.

(I longed an ETF I don't think I have the cash for a property portfolio yet).

With stocks and gold at ATHs, and BTC breaking yearly technical resistance...

Personally, I looked at this and thought - why would you sell btc at the moment? Grin (So I guess I know where I sit with that).

I could see the fed just continuing the printing now. If you do cashout, cash to euro or a currency from somewhere like Japan.
You won't find a concrete reason for this because of how nebulous it is and the fact that nothing is directly cause-effect, but the most likely explanation I've seen has to do with how much money the Fed has created recently to hold down interest rates.

Yeah they actually did print $6+ trillion after all... I found it recently when checking something - just the $3 trillion was an immediate injection.


money printer go brrrr

I'm surprised there's no friction burn.
3566  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Help with Electrum on: August 26, 2020, 04:13:04 PM
Can you load up your wallet and see what it says next to the version and the wallet name? It'll either probably be [standard wallet] or [2fa] or something else..

Take caution when you update your version of electrum as there's a phishing popup. For the safest option, download it from electrum.org and verify the signature if you want more safety.

My wallets from 2.7.x and it's still working with the same wallet file.
3567  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Good sections for newbie? on: August 26, 2020, 03:42:02 PM
I think we used to call them pinned before sticky, not sure when it changed.

And those boards are a good recommendation. As newbies you could also try to skim boards like tech support, development and technical discussion and maybe bitcoin discussion/economics too as if the threads are related to bitcoin they might offer interesting new information. But don't invest in something anyone suggests without doing good research on it.
3568  Economy / Economics / Re: We need to create a independent mobile device on: August 26, 2020, 03:18:26 PM


It's not about app stores only... the device owner should pretty much install any OS he wants ... just like  he does on his PC ...

We need to figure out how we can transform a Laptop/PC in to a mobile phone / tablet . And it must be easy to use by anyone.





Yknow you could get a raspberry pi to do that? And current technology can allow you to turn a phone into a desktop pc (with a usb docking station).

There are a lot of mobile friendly Linux distros too. You're probably just after something the manufacturer is not going to be paid or offered support to install.



And yeah huawei have their own appstore I just checked.

How is it scam?


I mean I wouldn't trust them for security services if their website doesn't even force ssl connections but the lack of it from thst link doesn't really make them scam, I suggest you contact the thread owner instead and ask them to make it so it forces ssl connections and change the http to https in the link just in case.
3570  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: (NEED HELP ASAP) Bitcoin wallet problems on: August 26, 2020, 02:59:00 PM
But is it still with blockchain.com? Just take it up with their support if it is and ask them how to move it I think it'll be a simple transfer function but most don't use their website and I'd recommend you getting a hardware wallet (like trezor or ledger) or at least moving it to bitcoin core or electrum (following the backup safety steps).
3571  Economy / Economics / Re: Will bailouts become more frequent? on: August 25, 2020, 07:39:53 PM
I think we will soon just start to see government ownership of financial institutions instead.

2008 brought lots of market consolidation---USA giants like washington mutual, merrill lynch, and bear stearns were absorbed by the biggest banks, jpmorgan chase and bank of america. if a crisis hits, they'll get TARP-like bailouts while acquiring failing banks IMO, further consolidating the industry.

citibank actually did get partially nationalized after that crisis. i assume the government will sell their stake ASAP (like they did with citi in 2010) but i guess things could play out differently if the banks don't return to profitability.

I could see it being run as a committee type system where the best people that apply are put in charge of running it but then ultimate decision lies with the government - and shares aren't distributed (this might be how bulling societies were meant to work)?

That succession of smaller banks being absorbed by bigger ones, can't end well imo. You're going to end up with too much market dominance.

3573  Economy / Economics / Re: Economy over health on: August 25, 2020, 06:09:28 PM
Costa Rica gdp contributions from tourism look to be around a mere 2.6%. I think new Zealand stood at around 5% and the UK is about 10% so I don't think it's a lot for their economy to deal with. But even that small percentage will likely be noticeable by them if they didn't do it and it might be one of their highest international investment sources too - or they're trying to grow tourism.

If you don't have a booming economy and you're running on a capitalist system then you have to deal with either a lot of your population not being able to afford basic necessities and/or death of citizens either by suicide or the newfound poverty (though they do have a lot of farmland).

The uks epidemic started in London and that was mainly due to the number of tourists there and potentially the international trading and business dealing that goes down there (if it does). They were about 3 weeks ahead of the UK in the initial propagation of the virus too and had their peek a few weeks earlier
3574  Economy / Economics / Re: Will bailouts become more frequent? on: August 25, 2020, 04:38:23 PM
With every bailout imo strengthens the control the government have on the banks and other institutions and heightens regulations.

I think we will soon just start to see government ownership of financial institutions instead.
3575  Other / Meta / Re: PM Search on: August 25, 2020, 02:17:35 PM
Yeah I'd second that idea, I have 49 pages of PMs and a bad sense of time with everything - that's about 1000 messages to skim if I want to find something.

It might be a bit hard to add though as it'll require a whole new object and a new amount of testing to ensure it's just you who can see your own messages.
3576  Economy / Economics / Re: We need to create a independent mobile device on: August 25, 2020, 02:13:22 PM
Isn't there mobile versions of Linux operating systems now like Ubuntu? It's on companies to decide what they want to support, if you tried making an app store for apple, you'll get sued if you're not based in Europe because "socialism is bad even if it serves a good purpose".

As for the Google play store, there's the amazon appstore already. Some companies like huawei tried making their own too but they didn't last long/are still in development.
3577  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can I create BTC script only primit some sig owner to transfer to fixed address? on: August 25, 2020, 12:25:18 PM
No it wouldn't exactly be possible.

KeyA and B could sign a 2 of 2 multisig to that other address and just not broadcast it until they wanted to. With the other task just being performed normally.

3578  Other / Meta / Re: Adding topics to Watchlist on: August 25, 2020, 09:35:00 AM

.....
Also when you click a topic it disappears from your watchlist until its edited again. Other than that I se no reason why it wouldn't be there.
I just clicked one to test and it really disappeared.
I still don't get why topics with posts before yesterday won't show up. Maybe there's a 24 hour rule? Or maybe I've read them before? I can't remember.
What do you mean by "edited again"? It will show up again if there's a new post?

You must've seen them all, I can see stuff from today. You could click on a topic, click mark unread and it'll still appear in your watchlist also.

And yeah once a new post is made (or if the last post is edited afaik) it'll reappear on your watchlist (but I'm not sure about the edited part if it's still the forums policy).
3579  Other / Meta / Re: Adding topics to Watchlist on: August 25, 2020, 04:08:22 AM

Another question, why doesn't it show all threads? What I only see are topics with yesterday's post.

Also when you click a topic it disappears from your watchlist until its edited again. Other than that I se no reason why it wouldn't be there.
3580  Economy / Economics / Re: Monkeys: Don't do trend analysis! (with poll) on: August 25, 2020, 03:57:00 AM
If you've watched a chart for long enough you'll know where it's going next. TA for Hull and bear flags and repeat patterns also make it possible to have a pretty clear idea.

Also depending on how they traded is going to change things. If it was equities, while in a bull market, most are going to follow the trend.. If you just keep longing at 3x leverage for example, even in crashes you won't lose anything...
