I don't know, a lot of investments in cryptocurrency are very high risk (especially if they haven't been trading for long).

What stops the owners from just running with their $450k or making something up about where it went...
It might be worth investing but it's also worth being skeptical, they're also here a bit late...
3662  Economy / Economics / Re: Are there any investment websites that accept bitcoin? on: August 14, 2020, 04:07:11 PM
No not that I know of. Most exchanges will want to kyc or receive funds from a bank account for verification.

It's often due to making it easier for investors to file for tax purposes (eg UK stocks have a 0.5% stamp duty).
There was talk binance might be adding stocks at some point but its just rumours for now.

Did you explicitly set it to 6000? You could try ticking the box to always stay logged in and try to reset the error by logging out once it has changed and logging in to see if it works again...

Either that or if you're on a phone its apparently possible to hit the logout button while navigating the screen.
3664  Other / Meta / Re: Battling against scammers?? on: August 14, 2020, 01:12:54 PM
I think there's a thread somewhere on all the known common scams that can occur. Covering everything in its entirely with a task force (especially a fully open one) is going to have to handle a lot of information.

Moderators have also changed their policy on not deleting obvious scams which to me was a good decision.

Just read the first part of this but could you not put up something like a birdbox to watch them and have the camera appointed at that? (if you've got an old floorboard - you're not using - you could easily turn that into one.

Part 2:
yeah windows popups are annoying
is wetherspoons doing the offer, I thought they'd be empty or at least bigger - I ended up in one last weekend and it was fairly empty.

Generally these are going to be hard to find. You could look at things like gambling sites that might offer a higher commission but most of them time things like this are impossible to find unless you're targeting people who will deposit funds.
3667  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: lost BTC on: August 14, 2020, 02:57:37 AM
To reassure you, I don't think you've lost anything? I'm not sure how to recover it but I think it's possible.

There are a few guides I've found:

Technical but potentially safer: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/crypto/omni/
Non technical but make sure you trust who you get the wallet from: https://www.reddit.com/r/Electrum/comments/hwan68/what_problems_would_arise_from_attempting_to_send/

And treat the address as insecure on your electrum wallet after importing it.
3668  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hello everyone, looking for advice on EVERYTHING lol on: August 14, 2020, 12:15:33 AM
That's sad to hear but not unheard of in this space...

The only company I know of producing efficient miners and being fairly reputable nowadays is bitmain.com as I think bitfury just to blockboxes now so I hope you find something else. If not, it's possible to mine ethereum and I think montero on a gpu (but I could be wrong). Anyway glad you managed to spot it in time!

You might want to open a thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 in scam accusations so others can easily find its a scam.
3669  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcointalk.org YouTube channel? on: August 13, 2020, 11:10:15 PM

While I agree with you that things here usually happen, when someone else makes the effort to improvise things around here, I feel like regarding this topic,  people can't do much. This place will become a portfolio submitting messhole, if people were to work for anything(be it their youtube "career", or teaching skills for udemy etc).

If bitcointalk is to have a youtube channel ever, the admins should at least give out some info on how they want the whole thing to be executed, and also privately start messaging users whom the admins trust, and get things rolling. Otherwise, I am afraid nothing much is going to happen Sad

At least if not a youtube channel, and a udemy course, the new forum should have sub-forums where only certain people are allowed to post/review the content, and those sub forums could have all sorts of courses, and videos. That'd be pretty dope, if you ask me.

A udemy course? That sound strange but potentially interesting of an idea. I'd much rather list stuff where people have to pay via watching an ad as I doubt many people would pay for a udemy course?

I had a thought about doing something with YouTube and the most notable posts voting a while back, I don't know what happened to the list though? I think steamtyme also did well with his videos so we'd have to ensure we didn't conflict.



As someone who's biased towards ltc (and no one else likes ltc) I'm happy to look over content produced to check it for bias (I assume my bullishness on btc won't interfere with that too much either).



Perhaps the reason things aren't being done is potentially down to people not knowing where to look.
We might get away with adding a thread in new forum software on active developments going on surrounding the forum (the potential ecpensipn into YouTube if it's done and how to test the new forum software).

Would anyone be interested in a forum telegram channel and potentially group chat? No idea how I'd ensure not getting a bunch of random reputation flags if I made one but as a spin off project I don't think it sounds an awful idea?

If you were still profitible at 8000k with a +12% difficulty then you might be fine for a few months.

1 year under European regulation is generally the minimum for electric goods now, if they're from Asia that warrenty might have moved across or come from there...

Good decisions are often formed by making bad mistakes, thats not an encouragement to make a bad mistake but if you have the funds for say 10 miners, buying one now might yield nicely and not cause too much damage if it doesn't.
3671  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hello everyone, looking for advice on EVERYTHING lol on: August 13, 2020, 10:00:08 PM

I have used that calc along with many others. With the pool set @ 1% the profits seem to be good to be true I'll be honest. I've also used clac that take in account difficulty. Does this one allow that and I'm just not seeing it? All in all the machine that I listed just seems to be good to be true with the variables put in it seems all to unreal. Yes .13/kWh is a lot but again with that being taken into account along with pool fees, but the variables that are in question are difficulty and of course the flux of Bitcoin worth. Thank you for the reply. Any other suggestions would be great too.

Your specs did seem quite high on that miner with low energy usage.. I'd probably recommend waiting for a difficulty adjustmemt as the price took a fairly significant move recently. If not I'd adjust for the old bitcoin price back when it was stable and assume a 12%+ increase of difficulty increase each month (I think that was the suggested average but I'm not too sure).
3672  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hello everyone, looking for advice on EVERYTHING lol on: August 13, 2020, 07:49:13 PM
Use a wallet. Think about it: do you want to control your money or do you want others to control your money? I can't speak on mining, but there are very experienced members here that can. I do think, though, that $0.13/kWh is quite expensive.

Side hack got away with running miners on $0.1 for a while (it's $0.25 where I live though so I can't speak too much on that).



https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/btc?HashingPower=410&HashingUni2=TH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=2300&CostPerkWh=0.13&MiningPoolFee=5

You'll have to adjust power consumption and pool fee but a site like this might be a good place to start.

If you solomine you won't have a constant income too.
3673  Other / Serious discussion / Re: My notebook upgrades on: August 13, 2020, 06:08:03 PM
If its on a phone or a digital camera you might be able to control it with Bluetooth volume controls or a long speaker/headphone wire.

I think it's up to the manufacturer to make the drivers so you might want to ask them if it's good enough quality for them to have a technical support.
3674  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: Three questions about a possible vulnerability on Mycelium on: August 13, 2020, 05:54:28 PM
I don't know why you would use them and it seems an outdated practice by now...

If you do use them, I'd recommend defragmemtkng your device after using them. The private key that's stored is probably pretty small so it's quite likely the information just gets lost from your phone via defragging it. After that there may be a small chance of your data being compromised but I certainly wouldn't put it as high as 1 or even 0.5...
3675  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM]Archive.is has stopped supporting Brave Browser on: August 13, 2020, 02:54:12 PM
Still trying to grasp what happened to the owner of Archive.is though. Quite weird why Brave would scam $1500. While it's still a good amount of money, it's surprising that a company of Brave's size would steal that amount, and also knowing that archive.is is a quite famous website.

Maybe that's the part of it that makes sense because it doesn't... If they have a lot of users with $1000-2000 then just scam them and keep going along pretending there isn't a problem... They're probably more likely to be considered scam if they scam larger amounts imo (also maybe people with more money than that don't trust them).



I still don't see why anyone would trust these browsers with funds/your browsing history - but if you do personal searches off the app then it might be feasible (and don't log on to anything within the app that you can help)...

One of the first posts using this address (august 2016):

btw, here's my node public page:

Thanks, thought I'd quote this as a reference. I wasn't requiring a signature but I might add an extra not somewhere.

Also I put in the full link rather than your node ID I assumed that's more helpful if your ip address changes.
3677  Other / Meta / Re: If I find many spammers in a thread should I report each one of them? on: August 13, 2020, 04:17:04 AM
I'd just report the whole thread from the op and ask a moderator to trash that one...

Otherwise just leave a note saying the thread needs a clean or something (you could always reference post numbers too - if they're easy to remember).
3678  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is the best platform for quickly purchasing bitcoin? on: August 13, 2020, 03:48:43 AM
I'm guessing you're from the US and I think (as far as I can tell) banking transactions are pretty slow there? If not you could try using a form of faster payments with coinbase pro (Pro.coinbase.com) using your normal account. I haven't received any problems with suspicious activity blocks or similar (not sure why).

Atms or some non kyc exchanges are probably a good second bet but sites like bisq limit you to $250 deposit until your account has grown afaik.
3679  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How use electrum wallet on laptop with mobile bitpay App on: August 13, 2020, 03:14:17 AM
~snip~

How does it possible to deposit if you have a BTC wallet address like this one below?



It starts at "m" and it doesn't recognize with Electrum.


Could you paste it into notes and see if it begins with a 1?

I can see it all fine on mine: starts with a 1 and looks long enough to be a bitcoin address.



Although if you created an invoice rather than clicking receive that could make it start with a different letter.
3680  Other / Meta / Re: Should confirmed liars with close links to other liars and scammers be on DT1? on: August 13, 2020, 02:01:51 AM

I note so many liars, decievers and scammers infesting DT1 and DT2?
I don't know, did you? What's with all these questions?

Look, if there are such users it should be resolved within system, you just have to point such accounts and tell everyone your concerns, don't go all the way around.
On topic please.
Report off topic posts to moderator if that bothers you, but as you can see, probably no one from users above really knows what the fuck you are talking about.

The op has been here since 2012 (apparently) but can't find the edit button anywhere: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5268455.msg54984425#msg54984425

@op could you just stick to one active thread, it'd help everyone understand what's going on much better. You can lock this one in the bottom left if you like.

Also the edit button should be visible in the top right of your posts if you want to transfer stuff across.
