It's likely scam though they claim that you won't ask for payment until they recover the funds which makes me wonder what's the guarantee that they won't just run off with your BTC once they recover it.

A warning on his profile could be Ok, a neutral for now as reference perhaps.

I have also seen that the person is spamming in different threads with his off topic recovery service post. You can report the posts to the mods as off topic to be deleted.

Of course institutions are here to make huge profits and not really about the Idea behind Bitcoin. Don't expect them to HODL for more than 10 years minus selling at one point. We are also likely to see more manipulations as they seek to squeeze out all the little the retail traders have. It will remain to be seen what will happen during market crashes or bear market. Shall we see very steep dips due to massive selling by whales or less volatility like in currency markets or stocks?

Browser dependent in a sense that you have the option to view that password on Microsoft edge minus tinkering or adding a few plugins unlike on Firefox, Chrome or Opera. I posted a screenshot.

If this is the deleted post that's making you come to meta to complain, then the reason for it's deletion is that you necro bumped an old thread with a low level reply


I don't seen anything helpful about your reply. I am sure you saw a warning but still went ahead to post.

Coinbase has 2 different exchange platforms

Coinbase - https://www.coinbase.com (A simplified platform for buying and selling your assets. But you will only be able to buy and sell at the market price and the fees are much higher)

Coinbase pro - https://pro.coinbase.com (A much more advance trading platforms where you have options such as order types and the prices you want to place bids or asks. The fee is also lower compared to coinbase). You are probably going to use coinbase pro if you are planning to trade frequently

Given that you are from the US, coinbase pro isn't a bad choice.
There are also alternatives such as Binance.us, Kraken.com, Gemini.com

I think it's Ok so long as your account has enough funds. Read this article for more details

The risk is that;
- If they ever get hacked, you could lose your money.
- If they decide to shut down their website, you will have no access to your money

If it's a great deal of money, is suggest you buy a hardware wallet like Ledger nano or Trezor to keep your funds offline. Most of them are in the range of $100 or less.

I would not even risk $10K in an exchange in the name of staking. it's not worth it.

For your information, we do have some hardware wallets that allow you to stake some coins like Tezos, Tron, Cosmos, Algorand and Polkadot  while keeping  them safely like ledger hardware wallets via Ledger Live - https://www.ledger.com/staking or even through an external wallet app.

what I meant is that I have seen this kind of price difference in Etherscan vs the actual price of the token in an exchange before. If you look as Bscscan the build is so much alike to Etherscan except that they explore different blockchains.

In other words, OP should not use blockchain explorers to determine the price of tokens as they don't update the data to the second like exchanges do. I think that's where the confusion came from.

I don't know if I am one of the abnormal ones, but if it has nothing to do with Bitcoin, such news doesn't usually excite me or feel positive at all
Bitcoin is a very secure decentralized network yet VISA seems to rush for a centralized USDC, one that can easily be controlled.

Truth is such, features may never be added to the current forum software. Many good suggestions have been made but nothing has been done which means we may have to wait until bitcointalk is on the new forum software.

That being said, what browser are you using? I do see the option on Microsoft Edge



Edit: I don't see the option in Firefox, Chrome and Opera so I think it's browser dependent.

You alternatively use password manager like Bitwarden so that you don't have to always type you complex password when logging in.

Sweeping/transferring the coins from the old wallet to a freshly created wallet with a new seed phrase which you have safely backed up is actually a much safer option than just importing your wallet from an old computer to the new one.

You never know who will end up using your old computer and land on your wallet files by using data recovery tools.

Why would you suggest a scam exchange to a fellow member?
At least the best thing you can do is try to research about it before recommending someone to use it or else it looks like just trying to stab someone on the back. it's not smart.

1. Folgory Scam Alert
2. Folgory exchange is a scam
3. [WARNING] Folgory exchange offering high return+hiring thread bumping services

But what I currently see from the Tx ID is different from the initial price of the LIGHT you indicated in the OP


What I think happened was maybe the initial valuation of your token was wrongly quoted bscscan.com.  I have seen it happen sometimes with Etherscan too. $842.62 is well within the 10% slippage tolerance.

It entirely depends on your strategy and how you set up your bot but i think both approaches can work on a number of bots. I have never used many bots for trading though. I think I used a couple of them for testing purposes but the gains seemed too small for me to subscribe for one.

There's a fork on 15th April but it's Ethereum Berlin Upgrade from the official source that I know about and not Ethereum genesys fork. So it could be fake. Be careful.

The date may not be exactly 15th April due to variability of the block time but here is the entire schedule for the upgrade

I doubt if he's a member here. Even if he was, he would be a very stupid hacker to use an address which could link to his profile. Ether addreses are easy to generate so keeping track of all Ether addresses of hackers is very hard.

Personally, I have never seen an Ether mixer but the hacker could easily decentralized exchanges  to swap the coins and it would be hard to track him after that

Basing on your response. It's clear that you never carried out proper security practices for your wallets. Some wallet security mistakes they advise newbies to avoid are;
1. Never screenshot your wallet seeds or private keys
2. Never keep your  wallet seeds of private keys on a notepad, emails, Messenger, telegram, Google Drive, Dropbox or any online cloud service. You are supposed to manually copy the seed on a paper or print your paper wallet offline and store it in a safe place.

Also, despite your PC getting stolen, you didn't bother transferring the funds from your possibly compromised wallet to a freshly created wallet.

Please take note of your security mistakes so that you avoid losing funds in future

OP, like @examplens suggested, a P2P trade between two parties in the forum would probably be OK. Make sure you use an escrow service to carry out your transaction so that you avoid getting scammed.

For example this person wants to exchange his USDT for payoneer. You could carry out a trade with him via a trusted escrow service in the forum to ensure you are not scammed and at the end of the trade, you have the USDT while he gets the money through payoneer. You can then transfer the USDT to an exchange of your choice to purchase BTC.

Payoneer will never know you bought crypto using their service. All they will see is a transfer of funds from a personal account to another.

I just saw this from your home page

How will you ensure that you don't make losses due to people who perform double spending. We all know it's possible even with Bitcoin. Someone intentionally sends a transaction with a very low fee. You send him monero without the Bitcoin transaction confirmation, and then he performs a double spend.

It would also be awesome if you had some FAQs about the basics of your service. No matter how easy it looks, It's always tricky for first timers.

So sorry my friend, It's likely your mnemonic seed leaked somehow.

Can you remember where you stored it? Notepad? Cloud service? Email? Instant messaging apps like telegram?

Did you try to restore you wallet backup in a newly downloaded wallet recently?

You could say you are safe so long as they don't ask for KYC, but once they ask you to verify, then you might be in some little trouble. Use of VPN is just one way of trying to mask one's real location but there are so many otherwise Binance could suspect that you are using a VPN especially if you are not consistent.
The cookies they collect or the transaction history could give you away for example

Just check out the privacy policy and see how much data they collect from your device, account, browser etc you will be shocked -
