I recommend yahoo on that list. Check his works on that thread as it is indicated and I'm part of his campaign.

He is one of the best campaign managers in the forum. And he is only taking good quality projects.

Though, that's still odd.
Odd is one word for it, I suppose.  I'm still not certain everything here is as it seems, but I hope for the sake of the Livecoin account holders who had funds on the exchange when it apparently got hacked that what babell wrote is true.

The posting here by newbies seems to be a reputation-protecting scheme, but I sure as hell would never use Livecoin again.
I'm also hoping that those affected users will be settled and babell is saying what's real.

And yeah, no one would ever use them again as they have announced their closure and won't be able to do business again.

We won't be able to see the impact of that good news in an instant. But just like the other companies and merchants who have announced and started accepting payments in bitcoin, they're the same as those.

And if the other companies who have seen them do it and it's possible through BitPay, they're also going to adopt and do as this company did. The companies who are still in doubt would now come to an idea that it's possible to accept bitcoin through their customers and receive it through USD.

Most of the new bitcoin people have used the wallet because of the word "blockchain". I've used it before when I was a newbie because I thought it was the official bitcoin blockchain wallet because of the domain.  Tongue
You are right, When I first got to know about Bitcoin. The first wallets I signed up where web wallets and guess the names... Blockchain and coinbase  Grin

I think the fact that the web wallets use an approach that most newbies are familiar with (signing up with an email and password), most of them end up getting trapped by the web wallet leaving behind noncustodial wallets that seem a little more technical to set up.
Maybe they have known that psychology that whenever a newbie approaches them, it's easier for them to be trusted because of the domain name that they have. Honestly, it was effective on me before when I was completely not experienced in wallets and believing that this type of web wallet is one of the safest until people who were earlier than me taught that made me realized that it wasn't.

Lol, that's true, I told a noob yesterday that web wallet isn't the best, he laugh at me as if I don't even know what I'm saying, hat name blockchain that it carried decieves them all around.
We understand what they're saying and believing at the beginning as they're learning through the process. But if they're open to listen to you about your experience, they'll eventually understand the huge difference of it from the non-custodial wallets.

Let's hear from all the people who didn't get their coins back.
I guess we now have an idea about the process and that's been shared by babell.

~snip~
Thanks for sharing with us their process and that answers why there are newbies that are posting the same thing.  Undecided

Though, that's still odd.

I'm speechless, he's able to recover his 50BTC loss and having a net profit of 100BTC. That's enormous considering the price of bitcoin today.
It definitely is, yes. And I'm personally very happy about it, especially because he registered here and gave some details about his wins/losses and his playing style.

But you also have to remember: the BTC he plays with here are probably only a small part of his portfolio, I don't assume that he uses all his BTC for gambling. And that in relation is actually what should make us speechless Wink
That could be a good twist about the last part that you have mentioned. He might be one of those silent whales out there and having the guts to lose that much means that he has a lot in his portfolio. I've just realized it now that you have mentioned it.

I agree that if they manage to control the bitcoin rate on bitcoin in the right way, it is possible to reduce the rate of past rates because the price of bitcoin is rising and so will the profit.
I'm confused and if it's possible for you to rephrase it, I'd be happy to hear it out. Well, as I understood what you're trying to say, no one can control bitcoin's rate.

Good to know that they've been responsive to you and able to help you in an instant and help you take back your funds. I'm about to say that there were a lot of threads that should take their attention on Web Wallets.

As you see, most of the titles of the threads there are about them. Hopefully, that this thread you've made really has taken their attention to solving your concern quickly. And in that case, those threads that have an existing problem on the Web Wallets section will be noticed too.
3668  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a gift cards on: March 11, 2021, 07:18:22 AM
It is just another use case of bitcoin to make the no coiners use it easily. But it is no different from the way we spend it for purchasing things, online or physically.

It may seem easy to hear as you can receive or give bitcoins as a gift card for the receiver has to spend it or can simply do the same as we do and that is to hold too.

That depends on the end user for how they wanted to utilize the gift they have received. I would like to suggest, that having gift like digital currency should be cherished and don't spend it at glance. Take it as most valuable, because bitcoin nowadays became so expensive and we don't know we might see that the price would go beyond limitations. Profit would certainly become more efficient as time gets older.
That's what I'm actually saying. The receiver can do anything that he wants. He/she can use it like the way we use it. And they also have an option to hold it just like the normal strategy that we do on it and treats it as an investment.

AFAIK, there were many in the past that have received a gift in the form of bitcoin and this will continue. Those receivers, if they're wise up to keep it as they know the true value of it, that's a better decision for them to choose rather than spending it quickly. Although, that's what it should be.

If terrorist organizations can use bitcoin to access it, I think that it is definitely a big deal.
Any medium of exchange and has monetary value, they will use it and there is no exception, like us, we can also use it for anything we will use it.

It has always been a big deal because it is the belief what bitcoin is used for, negatively. But just as the same as fiat money, it can used for every purpose that we use.

If it is coming from a reputable casino, I wouldn't doubt the competition that they held and the stats that they show. That is why their reputation is for.

About the leaderboards, yes, sometimes it is doubting if they have actually won the prize but I would still trust if that is coming from the very reputed casino. Otherwise, if it is from an unknown casino, it is normal to suspect.

They claim to have fixed the issue - unfortunately for me - I'm still not receiving email authorizations to login to my wallet, which I haven't received for about 3 weeks now...
I lately see that problem with email. It's on your account's problem and I've tried my old account there if I'll still receive an email, and I did. Still, got no reply from the support?

When I've done that before, it only took me not that much but just for few hours.

It is already a sign to switch to other Bitcoin wallet.
I think why there are still lot of people using this Bitcoin wallet is because first, user friendly. New in Bitcoin will attract to this Bitcoin wallet since it is very easy to create, email address only which they don't know using centralized or custodian wallet is really not good.

3673  Economy / Economics / Re: Venezuela Planning New 100,000-Bolivar Bills Worth Just $0.23 on: March 10, 2021, 12:16:35 AM
I would be very careful with buying currencies during hyper inflationary periods, especially when it's physical currency.
It's possible that these people who are buying it are just for collecting purposes. It's part of history and having them will give you the pride that one day you've been holding that part of a historical moment when a lot of cash you have in your hand but the value is just cents.

It might be very hard to sell the notes again and eventually might be worthless. The thing with countries who experience high inflation is that there is no end in sight. Once investors lose faith in a currency it is very hard to get it back.
They knew where the value of these currency notes are going and that's why before it goes bad or it totally gets to zero, they own it. This is like owning a shitcoin but you actually holding it physically and thus, there's the historical value that you may earn it someday or just for the sake of owning it like having a toy collection.

No one knows exactly when, but the govenrment is expected to ban all “private” cryptocurrency in India and simultaneously announce a sovereign digital currency sometime “soon”.
Isn't it that it's already been an issue that there's already a ban there?

This despite numerous appeals from the industry, and a failed attempt by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) at sneaking in a ban in 2018 by preventing banks from touching crypto. The Supreme Court ruled this ban was unconstitutional last March.The first sale of an item using Bitcoin takes place, with a customer swapping 10,000 Bitcoin for two pizzas. This attaches a cash value to the cryptocurrency for the first time.
That was part of the history and I don't see that there's any connection from the ban. Even though the SC ruled and said that it's unconstitutional, the RBI is persistent of pushing the ban.
3675  Economy / Economics / Re: Why not "COVID" vaccine passports on a blockchain ID on: March 09, 2021, 11:10:46 AM
Because it cannot be modified and with the details and information about the covid vaccine passport, there's still a huge debate towards it. It's still not acceptable for them to use such system like blockchain. And it's about the approval of the government.

As you know, they're not too knowledgeable about blockchain and crypto. And if they'll hear a solution for the vaccine passport like blockchain, the first thing that would come to their minds is that it's only about crypto.
3676  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best gambling site for esport? on: March 09, 2021, 09:53:41 AM
•Onehash
I used to bet there before and it's one of the sportsbooks that I like. But you need to know mate that they've updated their casino and removed the esports betting.

There's no more esports betting on onehash. You can check it for yourself.
Really? Onehash already removed sportsbetting option in their site? and also i noticed that they are not conducting their Signature campaign in Bitcointalk things that they use to do back days , that every 4-6 months they are having a campaign for 4 weeks each time.
Yes, they did. Check it out and most of the games you'll find out that are active are casino games. They have various games and even live virtual sports but esports have been removed.

And with their signature campaign, it's been a long time since they've conducted one in the forum. We don't know if they'll run one again in the future.
3677  Economy / Economics / Re: PayPal buys Cryptofirm Curv on a quest to avoid holding private keys on: March 09, 2021, 08:45:59 AM
Nice one, more people will see my private keys and they will store it somewhere "safe", the customers of this firms are going to be experiencing a Mt. Gox like incident and they don't know it yet but it will definitely happen. I don't get the point of not safekeeping your own private key, I mean what part of the word "private" do they not understand?
I'll only take the good news about PayPal purchasing the firm as it's a crypto firm but I do agree with what you're thinking. I have read what does it mean for them but I'm still confused about their business model.

But maybe you'll get some idea about its description about the MPC technology that Curv offers.

The company offers multiparty computation security technology that it says is a critical requirement to transfer, store and manage any digital asset safely on any blockchain or distributed ledger. Curv’s keyless MPC technology and tech stack enables the delivery of customized digital asset security solutions that are both scalable and adaptable with support hot, warm and cold wallet configurations as well as all tokens and protocols.

Traditional public key infrastructure on blockchains offer single private keys for access, creating what Curv argues introduces a single point of failure. MPC eliminates private keys, signing every transaction in a secure, distributed way to protect against cyberbreaches, physical damage and insider collusion. The technology is described as more efficient and lower cost than multisignature wallets by simplifying management, network fees and hidden gas costs. Customers using Curv’s MPC technology save 60% to 70% in transaction costs, the company said.

With this acquisition, PayPal is getting ready for a better service that they can offer. I hope that they'll improve.
3678  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC is over $54,000, hold or sell? on: March 09, 2021, 07:23:48 AM
Suppose as an individual, will you sell your bitcoins at a good price or just hold them?
HODL.

If holding them, when to sell?
When you're satisfied with the profits. It's actually your decision and you can listen or not to the suggestion of others. We have different situations in life and for people like me, I can endure of not selling it and hold it until I can.

But for you, you don't have to be dependent with others words. If you're thinking of selling it as you have plans to do something for the profits you'll be taking then do it.

If I didn't sell, no chance to get more coins.
You can always accumulate at any price if you want to but if that's what you think, follow your heart. But for some of us, we'll hold.
3679  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where does Elon and Saylor store their bitcoins? on: March 08, 2021, 08:47:09 PM
I've watched a video from an exchange which I forgot the name but it's located in Japan. They have a hardware wallet that's dedicated to the bitcoins that they hold.

And the place where it is stored is in a vault for which only a few staff and officials of the company know the password. What I think is probably they do the same that they have a safety vault and the hardware wallet is placed there.

It is possible that with hardware wallets they can be safer to store the large amount of btc that has been purchased to invest, but is that really true by storing in a safe or can you say a safe? Maybe also for extra security so that no one knows the password.

In fact, I don't really think about it, but what plans do they have in the future for the number of bitcoins, will there be some control later, or do they plan to sell more expensive for a long time?

Doesn't Elon Musk keep it on hardware too?
Yet it continues to create hype.
Yes, the one that I've watched have stored it in a vault and no one is allowed to enter on that room where it's placed but only for the few people that are allowed which are the highest officials and trusted staffs.

The plan is to hold and for sure they will sell it for profits. Everyone who invests for bitcoin never hold it for nothing but to take profits when the right time comes.

Doesn't Elon Musk keep it on hardware too?
Yet it continues to create hype.
Nobody knows. He hasn't said a thing about his storage/wallet.

That's the prediction that everyone has been telling.

2022--?
Bitcoin can go moon $100K within end of this year(2021)...?
Maybe the same as end of 2020 up to this time. The market has been bullish so if that's going to happen by the end of 2021 then that can last up to 2022. The peak was $58,000 and that's already 58% of 100%.
