Merit wasn't implemented yet on the time when he was still active even trust feedbacks wasnt fully used on that time compared to now for DT members.

Theymos trusting him as co admin is enough for all members here to trust him as well.

Cyrus and sirius are different person.

Theymos is the person who have full control for bitcointalk domain and its hosting account, cobra confirms it a while ago.

Idk if I read it right, but satoshi wasn't inactive since the day one of forum creation, he was pretty active not until the wikileaks take bitcoin and he just disappeared days after.

Lots of business will be affected, considering that most gambling accepting crypto website gathered here to get users, crypto related mixers too and many more crypto-related services. If ever that happens there's r/bitcoin and r/cryptocurrency, just check it, many popular crypto personalities use reddit or twitter platform to discuss instead here.

Be knowledgeable.

In any mobile phone digital distribution service whether app store or play store, it's easy to recognize a fake to the original. Check reviews, number of downloads, the developers, check the link of the app, using the "share" feature in the upper right, mostly the URL is simply written with its website "play.google.com/.../?id=io.metamask", fake ones have different characters on it. Also check the app website if it redirects on the same play store page.

Use adblockers either on mobile browsers and desktop too, firefox has lots of security features, mobile or desktop, just enable it and use "strict".

Nah, people should be very cautious and be knowledgeable time after time when such incidents happened. Crypto.com has lots of services to be used such as their card so using such platform cost a lot, I mean it needs to have some xxxx balance that you can say it's not that huge but it's enough amount.

Security codes/integrations/practices are designed against vulnerabilities and attacks, it just that the implementations of these are poorly implemented on their system and that's why this usually happens.

Well, this country act like this since the very beginning of crypto hype until they doesn't matter at all. Well, if they say good news then it's good though but when they say bad or something similar, they don't matter anymore. I mean people become used to it when something like this proposed, or a bill like.
Even china mining ban is not that big either.

Unfortunately, no, I would be glad to contribute if I have the knowledge of the stacks they are using.

My answer is only a guess that it could be possible to add such feature compare to the current one which is too out of date more particularly the looks.

There's no specifics of this, there's also no statement on their end the specifics of how attackers pulled off the breach. I only guess that it could be a flaw something on their 2fa system on how they implemented it.

I see no github issue of related to 2fa regarding this too.

Is it really hard to make a simple google "btc to usd" or your local currency? Google even have a ready made converter on the search page. That will not take 5 seconds actually.

Upon your request, you're not the first to request it and probably will not be the last. It's not possible not until the new bitcointalk software forum is up

No need to be harsh, it's readable and somewhat understandable, just unproper way of using of comma.

For somewhat ordinary and knowledgeable member no need to build it's reputation not unless op wants to be one for trading purposes or whatsoever.

For OP, just keep it up, just follow the process of building your rank, and it will pay in no time.

Good thing if it's the case, either way, it doesn't change the fact that even as secured and as big as this exchange is still can be breached.

Having an insurance for lost funds cannot be used as excuse in the future to let them say that "We're trusted and fully funded crypto exchange, so come use our service". Decentralized exchanges should improve and be normalize in crypto space.

This is all about the Crypto.com recent hacked^[1], though the news mentioned of the steps of securities added to the exchange, yet it doesn't mentions if the users that were affected are refunded/compensated. This is why "not your keys not your coins" always matter^[2].

This is another reminder to everyone whether you're a newbie or not, that using platforms such exchanges which the users doesn't have full control of their assets always have the risk of getting robbed, either the platform refunded it, worst if not.

For simple reasons because it's network is too congested from different kind of transactions e.g. spam tokens, ico tokens, smart contracts, nft, and too many more to mention.

It's always frustrating but you need to move on and use other alternative networks if available.

Cools stuff, maybe you can add if what eth explorer is compatible for this message stuff. Or maybe all of the existing eth explorer integrates it too?

And don't forget the risk factor, if the user's trading capital fund is just a mere % of his assets then it could be reasonable whether its for long term or not. But if he stored almost his assets in an exchange for trading purpose, it's too risky and it's a no for me.

An example of why the merit implementation is useful, if merit isnt implemented, this guy will be a legendary member already with the help of Bounties section.

So basically you're going to have clients near on your place or someone online?

I don't know if it's safe to ship gold from those countries (Africa) as the sender place where gold smuggling is common. So it will in danger the receiver too.

I'll be more wary the security patch of these unbranded tablets if up to date.

I'll go buy trezor if the price is just little different.

Buying a $250 HW is insane, if the whole purpose is the same to a
those fully tested, secured and cheap one.

I wonder how his words will encourage people to invest or something similar to it in regards with this cloud mining. And how it differs to typical scam cloud mining.

I will call them the smart champions, preserving their reputations, belt titles and money. While real champions are those you mentioned.
