3661  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scam Alert: https://antminer-bitmain.tech/ on: March 30, 2018, 05:45:01 AM
I believe this site is a scam: https://antminer-bitmain.tech/

They've done a good job at making it look real, but I believe it is fake.

Beware that sometimes scam site creators will come on the forum and say it is a legit site.  Look for low activity level.

It's obviously a fake. They are claiming with the banner on top of the page saying that they are the only official bitmain product sellers, when in reality, the real official seller of bitmain products is shop.bitmain.com.

Also, check out the bottom of the page where they list their partners. No links whatsoever, they're just putting them there as decoration and there is no real partnership with any of those sites.

These scams are quite common and take a lot of newbies or people who are simply looking to buy cheap mining products.

Definitely watch out for any site that is selling mining gear that you haven't heard before. Do some research, if you can't find anything about their background, it's probably just another site that has popped up recently to rip people off.
3662  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Exchange: which one to choose to start trading? on: March 30, 2018, 05:12:24 AM
Hello guys,
Finally i'm going to reach the minimum amount required by exchanges to start trading (0.001 btc), but i don't know which exchange i should use, i need your help xD
I would like to trade on an exchange that:
-Most Important: doesn't require KYC (if it's only crypto-crypto it's fine, but no KYC)
-Good amount of alt-cois (more than Bitfinex, which i like, but don't has much cryptos)
-Preferably with good trust (so not brand new)

I was thinking at Binance but i don't know if it requires KYC at some point.
Kucoin looks good too, and apparently it doesn't require KYC, but i can't find much review about his trust status.

I hope you can suggest me something Smiley

If you only have 0.001 BTC to trade with, then withdrawal fees actually is a huge part. Most exchanges will have withdrawal fees of 0.0003 BTC or above, even though the actual transaction fees are much lower now. So I'd definitely recommend saving up some more before you actually decide to deposit your money into an exchange to trade, otherwise there is really nothing to be earned as all your profits will be eaten away by withdrawal fees.

Binance is my definite choice of exchange for now, and I think it fits your criteria. It's fast, it's quick, no hassles, easy to understand interface. There are some concerns with regulation but for now, it's only for Japan. No KYC for 2 BTC per day worth of withdrawals, which is awesome and it's probably what you're looking for. Spreads are pretty low. But even they have a 0.0005 BTC withdrawal fee, 50% of your investment.

Even though there are exchanges with more pairings/markets, like yobit, most coins listed there are shitcoins and should not even deserve to be listed. Plus, the reputation of yobit is horrendous, do not use them just because they may have lower fees either.
3663  Economy / Speculation / Re: Where is the bottom for BTC price? 6K, 5K or even lower? on: March 30, 2018, 05:05:12 AM
No idea where the bottom is going to be in the future. It's way too hard to predict.

For now it's going to stay at the $6k bottom that was previously discovered by the dump back in January. As someone else said, that is the psychological bottom for now. If that psychological bottom doesn't hold up and there are more panic dumps in the short term, we could see BTC crash down to lower level like $5k, $4k.

Anyways, I doubt that we're nearing the bottom yet. It's going to come with cycles of recoveries and then more dumps, but the general trend is definitely bearish for now. It seems improbable that this trend would stop right now as well, it's much more likely we see it play out throughout the year, and potentially find a bottom at around low $3k's.
3664  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: gram-token-ico.com, GRAMNETWORK.ORG, TELEGRAMFOUNDATION.ORG scamming on: March 29, 2018, 09:35:13 AM
And again. This time using domain gram-token-ico.com

Ah another one. But the site is already down.

Telegram should really make it completely clear that all of these sites are just scams. Better yet, they should at least have their official website for their ICO, even if they are not planning on launching it yet. They announced their ICO and then do not announce anything, launch any sites, or anything of that matter. Obviously a bunch of scammers will try to take advantage of the ignorance of the public.


Yes, indeed. Again, I'd say that you hope for the best and expect the worst. With both domains down and with the domain registered overseas, it'll be incredibly hard to track them.

Probably they are three people because are dividing their stash in three equal parts/addresses. One of them made mistake using address that was used before.
As I said, I don't expect nothing more than scammers get stopped. If US FTC is not interested in seizing millions from scammers i can't do nothing.
Exchanges require ID verification for being able to provide information at law enforcement requests for cases just like this one. I don't think they will reveal information to me.
Even if they do, I don't think I will reveal it here, neither will I take baseball bat to make things even.

The one person that used an address that was used before to an exchange *could* be the start of a trail for investigation. You're right. All you can do is submit that info, whether they decide to act on it is their business.
3665  Other / Meta / Re: So copy/paste in the Chinese section seems to be allow by the local moderator? on: March 29, 2018, 08:56:48 AM
I have reported a few different users ( might be the same users or bots spam ) who have copied/pasted to start the same threads again, I have indicated in my reports that these few threads are duplicated and requires the appropriate action to be taken by the local moderator.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3203343.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3202509.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3201652.0

It seems that the local moderator ( HorseRider ) just moved all of these threads to the altcoins discussion child boards on the Chinese section, that is the only action taken? So does it meant that copy/paste is allow in the Chinese section by the local moderator? If that is the case, I guess there is no point and totally meaningless to report posts or threads that violates the forum rules on the Chinese section in the future, thank you.

HorseRider is still active and yes, he just moved all these threads to altcoins in Chinese.

Copy pasting as far as I know is prohibited throughout the forum. It's not just limited to the English boards. Otherwise it's just giving opportunities for people to copy paste and pad their post counts in local forums. So these threads should be deleted instead of moved.

All of the three threads you mentioned asks exactly the same question, if IOTA transaction fees are 0 or not, and is clearly copy pasted.

The spammers seem to only make new threads and most of them are copy pasted. For example this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3201583.msg33221577#msg33221577 is actually copy pasted from here: http://8btc.com/thread-134858-1-1.html.

This is an issue that needs to be addressed for sure.
3666  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] BitWhisk.io ✦ Bitcoin mixing service ✦ Fast, Secure, Awesome! on: March 29, 2018, 08:41:00 AM
Site looks good. I think the fact that you're conducting a review campaign is definitely going to help with your public image, as well. However, I definitely think that it's going to hard for new mixers entering the scene because they don't have the trust of the public. Either escrow some bitcoins to start off so that people have the peace of mind of knowing that they are protected, or launching some sort of advertising campaign will help as well based on what I've seen with other mixers.

I like the fact that you have an option for unique time delay, that is a feature that I think a lot of people are going enjoy using.

As much as I understand that you guys may be in need of investment though, I would let the site run for a while before asking for any investments. It makes it seem like you're trying to get some quick money, since there is no shortage of coin mixer scams in the past.
3667  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto market-cap dips below $300 billion as doom and gloom continues on: March 29, 2018, 07:55:10 AM
I admit that initially in January I thought that it was just going to be another recovery, and the bull market wasn't yet over. But by this month I'm definitely convinced that we are in a bear market. That is to be expected, though. I have always expected this to happen, but frankly who is able to predict if the next rebound was going to come or not. You just have to be prepared for all scenarios.

Based on the current bearish trend, if we do not break out above $9-10k soon, we'll probably going to go under $6k which was the low this January. Surprisingly that figure has not been broken yet. I expect the market cap to bottom out at around $150 billion total and BTC should bottom at $3-4k.

Bear markets aren't all doom and gloom, though. That's what the wall street analysts are failing to address. You can make a ton of profit if you buy in a bear market, have the patience to wait for the rally, and sell then. The prices are way cheaper to accumulate for the long term now compared to last year, but people aren't buying at all. That's the difference.
3668  Economy / Speculation / Re: instead of seeking reasons,... just adjust your strategies to new trend! on: March 29, 2018, 07:17:35 AM
i keep seeing topics asking "why is it going down" "when will it reach $$$",... and everyone is panicking about when the "moon" is going to be!

well if you are not a trader then why are you even asking these questions? just buy and hold. come back in long term and enjoy the big profit.

if you are a trader then asking these silly questions won't help you. if you see price is not recovering and falling then just adjust your strategy to match the new trend. and i am not just talking about now. this happens each time the trend changes!
market is not always going to stay the same, it has ups and downs and sideways and ... for each of these trends you need a specific strategy. you can't just apply one thing to all of them.

Exactly. I would classify bitcoin investors into two categories. One category is the holders for the long term that doesn't actively trade in the short term. The traders are the ones that try to take advantage of the short term volatility of the BTC markets.

It's rather pointless to try to justify a recent dump or pump by one reason only. The fact is, often it's just normal market volatility that is driving the markets up or down in the short term. Doesn't always have to be due to one factor. Focusing on finding that single factor that is influencing the price movement can often result in someone missing out on the big picture.

Anyways, as scary as the current dump looks, it's expected coming off such a bullish year of 2017. Any investors should have known the risks, especially with bitcoin being pumped so hard last year and adjusted their strategy accordingly.
3669  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price falls 7 percent after Twitter's announcement of crypto ban on: March 29, 2018, 07:09:45 AM
And now after Facebook ban and Google's restrictions on crypto ads,its Twitter's turn to act against cryptos.On Monday,twitter announced that it would ban crypto ads to protect its users from getting scammed.This move has reduced bitcoin's price by 7 percent.

Actually i planned to withdraw 2,000 dollars worth bitcoin from my wallet today.Now should I wait for one or two days for price to recover or should I withdraw now itself to avoid further loss due to more price fall.

Your valuable suggestions are most welcome.

https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/03/26/bitcoin-falls-7-percent-to-below-8000-after-twitter-bans-cryptocurrency-ads.html

I guess people still do not realize that whatever twitter/FB/Google decides to do, that's their problem. It won't actually affect how bitcoin works whatsoever. It's pure panic, previously when google and FB announced that they were banning crypto ads, people panicked too but the price eventually recovered. I expect this to be similar.

In fact, most of the ads on these platforms are scams, not a lot of them are actually promoting legitimate businesses. Especially Google adwords.

Plus, the general downtrend for BTC isn't even caused by the bans from these social media bans. It's just how bitcoin usually moves after a big rally ends, the price just naturally goes down until it finds a bottom and consolidates enough to make its way up again. But if you're actively trying to cash out, then I would suggest waiting a bit. Wait for BTC to rebound up to at least $8k before you cash out, right now is pure panic.
3670  Economy / Speculation / Re: Let's talk volume. on: March 29, 2018, 06:56:02 AM
One thing I've constantly seen being said is that bitcoin volume is significantly lower than it was in the run up to and at its peak in December. While looking at the USD/BTC chart I noticed an interesting thing and that is how relatively the volume isn't changed all that much. By that I mean:

Dec 17th high: $20,035   Volume: 14,916,600,000     that means approximately 745,000 bitcoin changed hands on that date.

Yesterday, March 27th: $7979    Volume:   5,480,430,000    approximately 687,000 bitcoin changed hands.

From that we can see that volume is only down about 10% in terms of actual bitcoin traded. I'm not entirely sure how to interpret this, just perhaps to ignore some of the stories stating how bitcoin volume is so low, because all of them are measuring that volume in USD not in BTC.

Be interested to hear any opinions on what this could mean for the market.

All data was taken from coinmarketcap.

Edit: I added the calculations from December 17th through to today using the close for the day. It's definitely clear to see that volume's have dropped off a little but not as much as would seem apparent if you considered USD volumes. The average BTC volume in this period was 880,883 per day.


Interesting study.

There is really no point in measuring volume in USD and saying that the volume dropped from December last year when the ATH of BTC was hit. Well, no crap that bitcoin volume will down in fiat terms when its prices go down as well.

IMO, if you're conducting any sort of study based on volume in a volatile market, you're probably better off using the native currency as a measure of volume instead of fiat currency.

Plus, volume will always be higher in periods of high volatility, everyone knows that. IMO, only if the price is relatively stable yet the volume is going up drastically will it actually lead to a big movement upward or downwards.

This is a very open discussion, but a topic that needs some attention.

As an investor I always have to compare my actual profit on a year to year basis, to consider if I should continue investing in that commodity or currency or stock etc.

Let's look at Gold for instance :  https://goldprice.org/gold-price-history.html < In 16 years my profit would have been +/- 343.78% >

Let's look at Silver for instance : https://silverprice.org/ < In 16 years my profit would have been +/- 256.15% >

If I deposited the money into a fixed savings account at say %10 p/a <very high for some countries> combined interest = 160% over 16years. <without compound interest> Feel free to make the compound interest comparisons.

https://www.gobankingrates.com/banking/see-interest-rates-last-100-years/

These are very crude statistics and cherry picking comes into play, but it does give you an idea what the Bitcoin price needs to be to beat some of these investment strategies.

I think my more than 800% profit with Bitcoin last year, overshadowed the profits from other investments I could have made for the last 16 years.

We need 1 or 2 good years like 2017, to render all other investments null and void for several years. ^smile^

What other investments comes close to the profits that we saw in 2017? { 1 year }  Huh Roll Eyes



THis is why I believe in always making investments into new assets that others haven't got in yet, when others are way too conservative in their investment strategy. I can say for sure that depositing into a bank for the long term as an investment is pretty much shooting yourself in the foot as an investor, since the interest rates will rarely outpace the real rate of inflation and growth of assets.

I don't think that anything have came close to challenging BTC's growth in the past year, apart from other cryptos which don't really count.

There were periods of time in history when precious metals and housing as investments, as well as stocks delivered similar returns to BTC in 2017, but definitely not in 2017. In 2016-2017, BTC has outperformed every other asset class that I know of. And the growth was sustained for 2 years straight too.

  • Promises the following: overly high returns; No risk; (Too good to be true in other words)
  • No/poor reviews; Newly-created; Anonymous (A simple whois lookup will do: https://www.whois.com/)
  • No maintenance fee
  • Has the following on their site: a. false information b. copy/pasted info c. poor grammar
Add this one

  • Offering stable income.

Based on my research and my experience, usually scam cloud mining will offering stable income like 0.002/days. Even bitcoin difficulty doesnt affect this.

That should be the first sign that the cloud mining site you're researching is a scam. Why? Because nothing is stable. But stability appeals to everyone, so scammers will often exploit that to their advantage by offering cloud mining plans which guarantee you a fixed amount of profit if you invest. In that case, it's definitely a ponzi scheme in disguise. They are not actually mining. Either they are running a ponzi that will eventually collapse, or they're just going to take your money as soon as you put in any.

Scams are actually getting more advanced these days, so I doubt it'll be that useful to have a checklist. For instance, I've seen shady sites that I would never invest in that showcase their mining in real time or in video format with a real person on camera walking through.

You can never be sure, but it never hurts to ask the support of the site what pools they mine with and ask them for proof that they are mining, two very important pieces of info. If they ignore you or do not give you a good answer, then they are probably scammers.

What do you guys think of ice rock mining, they promise an amazing roi, do you belive its legit

They promise 367% ROI per year which pretty much speaks for itself.

They are just promising way too much, and the background story seems to be way too weak to support the promises that they make. One of their team members, Mikhail Pluzhnikov, literally only has experience at Ice Rock Mining, and nothing else.

I would also suggest you reading about this article: https://coinanalysis.io/ice-rock-mining/

That's some pretty in depth analysis about the other sites that the same person owns, and they do not look professional nor legit.

IMO it's just a huge scam with the back story of an investment in bitcoin mining. No way anyone is able to generate 300+% ROI for "lifetime". Nobody should invest in this site at all, it's most likely a well thought out con.

Archived version of his posts where his emails are posted: http://archive.is/AEZCu and http://archive.is/QBDRf.

Both of the accounts that you mentioned are doing something which is illegal and against the terms and conditions of Neteller, Skrill and basically any other payment processor. He is obviously using either stolen IDs, photoshopped IDs, or some sort of social engineering trick to convince the Neteller support to get him verified. And all of that is immoral and illegal.

Post where he claims the site is his: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3188041.msg33025941#msg33025941

Site is most likely a scam and if anyone actually uses it to exchange money, you'll likely get hacked. Good finds, and a reminder that nobody should deal with others on forum without escrow, with or without a website.
3675  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will never reach $5,000 again. on: March 28, 2018, 06:48:12 AM
In my opinion, there is probably actually quite a large likelihood that bitcoin will reach $5k at some point in its downward corrections. Especially with the $9k resistance proving to be stronger than expected, we don't seem to be on cue to making it back up to $10k+ any time soon.

I understand that OP wants to dedicate this thread to the bears, but what I personally believe that if we do make it down under $5k it's probably going to stay there for a while after a few bounces. But sooner or later, whether it takes months or years, there is going to be a pump that will pump BTC to higher than $5k for sure.

At least in my opinion, there is just way too much upside in buying BTC under $5k for it to stay under $5k for the rest of BTC's lifespan. Also coupled with imminent inflation in fiat, if BTC just holds its real value it would eventually make it back up to $5k+.
3676  Economy / Economics / Re: About real state of cryptos on: March 28, 2018, 06:26:47 AM
Hi all. What do you think about this idea - is it possible to actually use crypto for daily payments?
read on medium

give your opinion

I'm not sure about this one.

The trend is increasingly to use bitcoin as an asset, as well as a store of value, hedge against fiat currencies, and a currency for online payments, both of which is proving to be extremely effective so far. However, if you're talking about real life payments, I doubt it'll go mainstream unless bitcoin itself becomes the world's singular currency or something along the lines of that. Very unlikely in the near future, I'd say.

There is always a chance, but for now, BTC's uses are going to pretty much be limited to online. But as more and more people gain regular access to the internet I honestly do not see a problem with that.
3677  Other / Meta / Re: a tutorial section for bitcoin and altcoins on: March 28, 2018, 06:09:11 AM
first of all, i really like this forum and think it is really great. but, i have a suggestion. as the title says, why not making a tutorial section for bitcoins and altcoins?

there people can post tutorials, to make it for newbies easier to join the crypto world. maybe how the software works, how to update it and so on or tutorials for altcoin platforms.

what people think about this? sorry for my bad english, it's not my first language.

I guess it could be possible, but then most people are probably not going to read those tutorials and they are going to proceed to open a new thread anyways. Though it is one of the more reasonable requests I've seen.

There's already a lot of tutorials in beginners and help, so I guess it would just belong there for any future tutorials as well. Not really that much point to have to create an entirely new subforum just for this.

Also, not sure if you know about stickies but there are stickies on each subforum to educate newbies about what they should know about before they post/ask questions. These pretty much serve the same purpose as your proposal as well.
3678  Economy / Speculation / Re: What's causing the dump ? on: March 28, 2018, 05:56:44 AM
What is causing the dump in the value of bitcoin as well as other altcoins ? Is it because of threats and banning from some countries or is it because Facebook has banned the crypto ads and there are rumours that you will and Google will follow the same which might create fear amongst the users ?

Pretty much all of your points combined.

It's also natural volatility of bitcoin, bitcoin has performed extremely strongly in 2017, the year prior. So what I'm seeing from 2018 isn't really surprising. This dump had to happen sooner or later, and it just happened as soon as 2018 started as well.

Of course, there is also the factor of regulations. Personally it doesn't make a difference for me when investing in bitcoin, but clearly it affects other people's mindsets when they decide to invest in bitcoin.

Right now we're just below $8k, if we can't get up above $8k within the next 2 days, we'll probably be going further down for the moment.
3679  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scammed by coinman on: March 28, 2018, 05:47:56 AM
Last Friday COINMAN1 asked me to wait 3 days until he's able to properly respond because of personal issues. I've tagged him now

He's probably just trying to play for time by saying that.

I'm not sure if this is the case, but I think perhaps he was planning on exchanging your funds first without any BTC on hand. And his deal probably didn't work out in the end or something, that led to him giving you a bunch of excuses including the fake "LBC withdrawal" story that he tried to use as an excuse for the funds not arriving at your wallet.

I think that he is clearly having issues justifying his shady behaviour here in this thread, which is why he hasn't responded, even though it's been nearly a week already.
3680  Economy / Exchanges / Re: POLONIEX is going downhill... on: March 26, 2018, 07:43:44 AM
Update:

after only 43 days my dgb appeared on destination address. Of course, like ALWAYS, they have lost at least 40% of value in satoshis...

issue is closed.

I wonder if it's because of circle buying Poloniex that they finally sent you the money, but that was for sure a long time to just get your Digibyte withdrawal through with a legitimate txid. Weird that they provided you with that false txid earlier though. Or perhaps they were manipulating the markets by dumping people's coins and then later sending it to them when the price goes down. Who knows.

All your problems are pretty common with poloniex customers, basically every delay that you can think of with deposits and withdrawals you will be able to find someone with that problem on poloniex.

It was one of my favourite exchanges as well, but I've stopped using it ever since they went downhill with their support and later said that they will get rid of the legacy accounts altogether which was the last straw.

With their current level of support incompetency, I would avoid them altogether.
