3761  Economy / Lending / Re: $95k in fiat or BTC - 3 months - great collateral on: March 09, 2018, 06:32:51 AM
This is basically a domain sale, it's not a loan.

Whoever that is filling this loan would essentially have to have a need for this domain. You're self admittedly also selling the domain with a broker while you're posting this loan request, which isn't looking very good.

People here frown on domain collateral and collateral that is also being sold at the moment. Nobody here with the financial capability of funding a $95k would do it for you with this as collateral. Plus it's not even cloud.com, it's an emoji domain which nobody uses. You should just lock the thread instead, before the negative trust comes onto your account.

The loan won't affect anything. Just doing it for business opportunity stuff. Also, it is not my intent to get things locked. If anything, they would want me to default lol. As for the asset, cloud.com is valued at $18m, so I wouldn't be here if that was the case.

I'm happy to negotiate the terms of the loan to make things fair and come down a bit on the ask (saves me money as well).

Let me know


You're probably much better off asking one of the clients which are interested in this domain and either ask them to give you a loan with the domain as collateral, or just straight up sell this domain to them. Because I 100% promise you that you won't find any lender here that will be willing to lend you that kind of money with this as collateral.

If you want me to elaborate - domains are extremely illiquid. Especially this sort of emoji/other languages domain name.

The entire point of collateral is to allow the lender to know that you're sincerely going to try to repay, and can have something to liquidate if you default. This does not offer that peace of mind to me, or to any other lenders.

What I meant is locking the thread using the bottom left controls. Ask any lender here, they will NOT be interested.

Somebody said they had a paypal account with no 21 day hold.

i paid via coin base BTC.

can i get my money back? the money that i sent is still pending.



Pleasee help

Who sold you the paypal account? Was he on this forum or not? If yes, what's his username? Did they deliver the account to you and it didn't work, or did they just scam you altogether after you paid your money?

Your OP literally says nothing and we can't help you in any way unless you are able to include more information, in the format as specified below:

Code:
[b][color=black]What happened:: [/color][/b]

If your transaction is stuck at pending on coinbase there is still close to no chance of reversing it, there is just no option to cancel a transaction once you send it out. But you could try contacting the support to see if they can help you reverse the funds. If it's already on the blockchain, unfortunately there is absolutely nothing you can do. Your BTC is gone, unless the guy decides to return it.
3764  Economy / Speculation / Re: Let me tell you exactly what's gonna happen on: March 08, 2018, 07:50:44 AM
It could happen. However you're expecting this dump to go down to around $5k when realistically I don't see it happening. This is not a sign of a bubble popping but rather just a bunch of people selling off their BTC due to various factors that have came up in the news recently.

As bearish as we have been over the past few days with prices essentially going down tens of percents per day, I don't see this continuing.

We're likely to find a bottom at a minimum of somewhere around $7.5k and that is very pessimistic. Binance has already cleared up some misconceptions. If it does go down to $5k then it may be a signal that this year we won't see any price growth again and the markets are fully bearish, though a recovery will still be expected in that very worst case scenario.

Anyways, anything under $9-10k is a good buy for now I think.
3765  Economy / Speculation / Re: Another Bubble popped? on: March 08, 2018, 07:35:20 AM
So looks like another bubble has popped and BTC is taking a nosedive dropping from 11600 to 9700 a mere 1900$ in 3 days. How long does a bear market normally last? I'm expecting atleast the full year, can it take longer?

This was not a bubble. Bitcoin actually hasn't moved up much since the start of the year. In fact we're still negative from the start of the year. Recovering from $9k to $12k barely classifies as a pump since the previous high was just $12k as well.

The reason why this dump happened was not because of any sort of profit takers or the bubble popping. There wasn't one to begin with! Instead, it was mainly because people are worried about Binance and SEC's attitude towards exchanges.

What I'm seeing is a definitive dip that will probably last a while, could go down a bit lower in the meantime. But eventually people will stop panicking, realise that they've made a mistake by selling, and buy back, resulting in a recovery.
3766  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cryptopia holds my Coins in hostage( please HELP me!!!!!!) for 1 month on: March 08, 2018, 07:28:40 AM
That really, really sucks.

It's not even because the transaction is at processing for ever and ever. Well that sucks too.

But the fact that their support is almost completely unresponsive, not just with you but with probably hundreds of other queries waiting to be solved is just ridiculous. Even if they just get through 50 tickets a day, which is crazily inefficient, after 30 days or so wouldn't they be at least up to you?

It just feels like that cryptopia isn't a good exchange to use anymore with no support as everyone is reporting.

Jeez, and it seems like UNIT has gotten pumped big time and is extremely volatile. Never want coins to get held up in those circumstances especially. We can't do anything for you on the forum. They probably don't even care anymore what you say on forums after so many people launching scam accusations. As slow death said, legal action is probably best, but not always feasible since there is only less than $1k involved.
3767  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why is Bitcoin price tanking down? There seems to be no respite in the pricing? on: March 08, 2018, 07:06:59 AM
Is it due to new SEC Rules passed for Excahnges or are there other reasons attached to this fall?
Any idea when should one start investing more and when can we see an upward spike?

So apparently there was this issue with phishing on binance which caused people to sell or buy tokens that they would not otherwise have bought voluntarily. And that caused a panic on the markets because people suspected that binance was compromised at that point.

SEC also issued warnings about only exchanges that are not being regulated, which affected investor confidence.

I don't see any particularly big problems with both of these pieces of news, but investors usually will overreact when news regarding the regulation of bitcoin or any major trading platforms come out. And that is why prices are tanking at the moment.

Expect a further dip to around $9500 before a swift recovery, buying now is a good idea for either short term or long term investment.
3768  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin dominance: bad thing or good thing? on: March 08, 2018, 07:01:12 AM
As of right now, the bitcoin dominance returns to over 40%, but the market is a lot slower than just a couple months ago.

How we believe the Bitcoin price will continue to rise for the foreseeable future?

Bitcoin dominance has risen because it's supposed to be at around the 50-70% region but instead, with other cryptocurrencies rising in value in the past few months it has actually resulted in an undervalued bitcoin compared to other cryptos.

Now, this trend has reversed. It's simply an index which means that it rising only means a reversion to the normal level where it should be imho.

We saw this huge dump down to under $10k in the past two days which can be mostly attributed to some pieces of news coming out concerning certain exchanges which has hit people who are panic selling. I expect bitcoin dominance to continue to rise during and after this dump because people have more confidence in bitcoin in the case of a semi-bear market than other cryptos, to around a level of 55%.
3769  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why this panic selling is good on: March 08, 2018, 06:38:41 AM
Looks like whoever is in control of MtGox's coins (is it still Karpeles? anyway) is selling, most likely creditors will get their money back finally and the MtGox saga will finally come to an end, which means all these coins will be in the hands of different people.

There is also the coincidence of the Binance hack which coupled with the Gox sale, has made a lot of noobs panic sell.

The sale has been happening since December and we still managed to go 20k, which means that after we get this weight out ouf shoulders we will be at 20k+ easily because the bull pressure is too big.

Hold and buy every dip as possible.

Apparently no funds have actually been lost on Binance, or at least that's what they claim.

There is absoultely no point in selling below $10k just because these events happened because these things do happen periodically and you just don't act irrationally just because some Mt Gox or Binance news.

Whatever is causing this current dump, at the end of the day it's mostly panic I think.

All I see here is a dip below $10k signalling a buy with a return to norm as soon as this wave of bad media coverage passes, with price recovering to $12k+.
3770  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is neither a currency nor a store of value ! on: March 07, 2018, 07:44:37 AM
So apparently, gold and silver as well as bitcoin are all not stores of values. Only something that pays dividends will ever be a store of value. Hmm, I wonder that means stocks are a good store of value? Tell that to anybody on the streets and they'll surely disagree.

Bitcoin is not a currency either?? WTF? At least bitcoin can fluctuate upwards as well as downwards while fiat can only lose value over the long term. The definition of currency would be a medium of exchange for every good, and isn't bitcoin exactly that with people paying for stuff in BTC?

You're delusional, dude. If you think that bitcoin isn't a store of value nor a currency, I don't know what meds you've been taking.

Plus, you're wrong about bitcoin's emmission rate. There is a cap of 21 million coins, so the money base cannot inflate past that figure. The inflation rate of BTC will continue to slow down as well well until it becomes stagnant/deflationary.
3771  Economy / Speculation / Re: Dow Jones -800. Crisis coming to Bitcoin ?? on: March 07, 2018, 07:26:54 AM
U.S stock market Dow Jones fell -800 points in 20 minutes last week  Grin

Crisis coming to Bitcoin  Huh

Stocks and bitcoin should be regarded as completely different asset classes.

Bitcoin is currency, stocks are stocks/securities in a company.

It's like saying Dow is crashing, therefore gold and silver will also crash. Just doesn't work like that in reality, they're completely different.We actually saw bitcoin's prices grow from the time you posted this to yesterday, albeit the crash that we saw today which had nothing to do with the Dow as it actually went up 0.04% which is pretty much stable.

Bitcoin will crash if it's in a bubble and a panic dump happens to take it down under $10k once again... I don't think that anything external apart from regulations concerning bitcoin, unless something major concerning the economy/stock market will affect bitcoin much.
3772  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Localbitcoin account hacked lossed 0.08 BTC on: March 07, 2018, 06:39:13 AM
thanks guys for all sugesstions yes now me enabled 2fa also removed all my btc from local exchanges to safe offline hardware ... well its a loss of 900 $ which taught me lesson hoping this will help others to safe there btc accounts in best safe ways ...

Good to know that you've learned your lesson.

Usually Localbitcoins will be secure and they are a reputable company that I have personally used on many occasions. They're not the kind of shady company like Yobit that you would constantly have trouble with deposits/withdrawals/keeping your balance.

However just as they give you a warning if you do not have 2fa on, you need to put it on any time you have funds in your wallet on LBC. Especially when Localbitcoins doesn't actually enforce a email confirmation policy on withdrawals. Once the hacker gets your money and withdraws it, there is nothing you can do.

Good to hear that you're learning a lesson. That's never too early.
3773  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: instawallet claim on: March 07, 2018, 06:21:30 AM
So in the thread it was supposed to refund anyone that held a balance under 50 BTC which the OP claimed was supposed to be more than 99.5% of all wallets held on instawallet. He did not put any timeframe as far as I know.

The main thing would obviously be getting the attention of Boussac, and then it's up to him to process this claim, which he definitely should on the grounds of what he promised previously.

He seems to own this French crypto blog: http://e-ducat.fr/. At the bottom are some of his social media accounts which I won't post here but you can easily find, as well as his email etc. Do try contacting him via both PM and social media/email if you can. Include as much proof as possible as well in your messages.

Good luck!

What was the issue?  There is a high chance that you're probably not going to see your coins back if it was something to do involving funds.

Withdrawal of a payment in their system requires entering a 1-time password in a web form.  The password is sent via a script to the customer's email.  It's a good security measure that you have to present both your login credentials to their site, and be able to access your email to perform a withdrawal of funds.  The automated system for sending email worked during new account setup and during the first withdrawal period.  

It has not worked in the past 3 weeks.  Since it worked on my first withdrawal with no issues I am not worried a spam/junk mail filter is blocking those mails.  It could be a software issue with the site that will be repaired or as you said it could be the rating site you referenced (which I didn't discover in my initial research) that proposes otherwise is correct.  The rating site has 2 anonymous accusers, so who knows if their accusations are legit either.

This message is not to accuse anybody of anything except to report they are not responding promptly to support emails.  

We'll see if any of their other customers notice this thread and report having the same problem or that my experience is atypical.  There have been other threads here that reported they were legit.  There have also been threads going back to 2013 and nobody has cried foul so for the moment, though I am concerned, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.  

It could be their automated emailing system has been broken and they're trying to repairing it right now. Or, it could potentially be the time when they start to shut down their operations and start to pull a runaway scam.

We can't do anything to help you. You'll have to get support to notice you somehow and they don't seem to be on this forum. In fact, they do not have an announcement thread on bitcointalk either. Only way you can reach them is through contact@bit-miner.com.

If you do get your money withdrawn, take it and don't go back to that site. Because it is extremely shady.

Also any chance you paid with a credit card? If that's true then you could potentially try to get a payment reversed through your CC company.
3775  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bit-miner.com MIA on: March 06, 2018, 07:11:18 AM
I've been having trouble getting in contact with bit-miner.com support to resolve an issue - no reply after 3 weeks to emails to their contact address.  Are any of you their customer and know another way to get in contact with them?

Thanks

What was the issue?

There is a high chance that you're probably not going to see your coins back if it was something to do involving funds. This is because of the fact that they seem to be offering some service similar to cloud mining without any sort of proof that they actually own the mining equipment that they claim to own, as well as a quite simplistic and sometimes broken website.

According to this rating site: https://netbusinessrating.com/en/review-23188-bit-minercom, bit-miner is a ponzi scheme. And I wouldn't be surprised at all if it really was a ponzi or just a scam. There aren't any other ways to contact them other than the support email/tickets.

If you do get your money or promised payouts(unlikely), please do leave the site asap and keep the money instead of reinvesting.
3776  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Yobit Scam withholding 10BTC on: March 06, 2018, 06:58:22 AM
a reputable site would return the money , this has happened here with another exchange ( can't remember it though ) and they returned the money to the sender but it took time

sadly OP I can't see you getting paid unless a miracle happened , yobit isn't answering most of the tickets and in your case they need to answer the ticket and do some work so I really doubt that they will pay

keep your thread up , maybe in the future yobit will settle their past issues

Indeed. I think that Bitfinex and Binance both at least make efforts to getting their client's money returned to them. Yobit just blatantly ignores their clients and that is what makes me so mad when a yobit accusation comes up.

And plus OP should be regarded as a VIP customer, especially when the volume even after inflated bots trading back and forth on pump and dump markets, a 10 BTC deposit is no joke. They're not even processing such large claims, and I think I mentioned before as well, this man is willing to take a 20% cut as well. what more can you ask from your customer?

I have not forgotten Yobit.

I still want my BTC back.

Going to write to the Editor of www.coindesk.com to see if they will do a story about your actions.


Please resolve this and return my life savings. 

I hope so too. Try to get some mainstream media attention, and hope that yobit will settle their past debts in the future when authorities in Russia get involved or something. That's your only hope really.

I will lose on c-cex  25k Dnotes worth 1000$ because wallet will been under maintenance and I cant withdraw this coin 
before delisting !!!!!  I waiting these days for a wallet functionality and today this coin is delisted without chances to withdraw ! Cry

Delisting the coin shouldn't mean that you aren't able to withdraw the coin.

Delisting is simply cancelling the market, it means nothing in terms of wallet balances. C-cex would still owe you the amount that you deposited and held with them in your balance even after the markets get delisted.

The problem right now is that they are placing the wallet in the state of maintenance.

Have you sent them an support request or PM on forum yet?
3778  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Freewallet.org : Smart Scammers , Dont Trust them on: March 06, 2018, 06:38:54 AM
@OP, calm down. Use the correct scam accusation format, otherwise it is extremely hard to see what is happening and what you are claiming in your case. It looks like that you're just real mad right now.

And I understand that when you are being asked to wait for something. For sure, freewallet has very slo processing times. The two cases that I witnessed them solve basically took them two months each, which is crazy.

But they have followed through on their promises, and if they have promised you this time you should give them some time. I doubt you'll be able to do anything against them otherwise because their terms and conditions protect them already. But if you deem them untrustworthy, then you have every right to stop using them after they refund you.

As well as bumping this post, I'd like to point out that no one from the Adblurb team have attempted to dispute these claims even though I am sure they are aware of this post.

Says a lot really..
Been 4 days, luc where are uuuu?

He will never show up. He don't have anything to prove and he just keep on saying on their telegram channel that Atriz/ALU have scammed them for worth 14 ETH. He said you guys just took the money and run away. But he never show himself here. He knows where to find you guys why cant he file a dispute? Because he is a scammer and was just trying to scam more people now on their telegram. I felt bad for those people who still believe in them. Too Bad Sad

They have only pulled in 0.35 ETH in their presale so far (check contract address below), that being said I still feel bad about the 2 people that put their hard earned money into it.

https://etherscan.io/address/0xd586ebd3361c25123b74298c006ae36883d01048

Good to know that this post is serving as a warning to others.

Just visited their site, the official stat is actually 0.15 ETH raised... Pretty poor considering they probably paid a lot of people on fiverr to do their videos and paid a lot of crypto news outlets to list their ICO. But their website design has not been improved a single bit.

It's funny how they're promoting their little story within their telegram group which is limited to everyone apart from aTriz/ChrisBren. And instead of trying to dispute this accusation from aTriz in public and potentially revive their ICO.

I think they're just trying to milk the scam as much as they can, here, until it runs out. They know that they've been exposed as scammers and an incompetent project, they just need some scapegoats to blame their failure on. Undecided
