The question is who recommends you? I must say those who are recommending use coinbase to buy crypto and, are well familiar with it. Most probably they have good experiences with coinbase. But most exchanges required KYC to buy crypto. Those who are familiar with peer to peer exchange would recommend you for that. But you have to consider your situation. I will suggest buying a peer to peer decentralized exchange then transfer your funds into Binance. So even you don't verify your account still you can enjoy a trading experience with a withdrawal limit.

That's quite impossible IMO. Blockchain doesn't have a password recovery option. You mentioned a different case where the victim has a password, so there is a possibility to get help from the blockchain. Also, their support system is quite the worst.

If OP has access to email where he would receive his wallet file, then it's possible to brute force the password. Since your friend remembers a part of the password, so it would be more easier to recover. OP, please let us know if you have access to your email address.

When I visit your profile and read all of your posts, noticed this was your first post where you are asking how to rank up. I am wondering how it came to your mind that you need to rank up on the forum? Seems you have raised so many questions. But those are all generic questions those answers would be found by using the search button. So, please learn to use the forum search button.

Although rank up isn't mandatory here to learn unless your intention to earn from here. But if you need it, then you need to contribute like other users. You may follow those already rank up here. Spend more time on the forum to read useful threads and help others as much as you can. That's how day by day you might learn how can you build your account.

P.S. Please avoid coloring your posts, it will discourage readers to read them.

I want to add another benefit to exposing bounty scammers. Just imagine a bounty campaign have thousands spot. An account farmer joins with hundreds of accounts, means there is only nine hundreds unique spot remaining. So that you can say there only nine hundred users getting benefits from a successful campaign where thousands of users are supposed to get benefits. So if we can detect and expose bounty scammers, means there is the possibility that hundreds of users would benefit from the same campaign. We have seen that there many bounty scammers who have been managing more than hundreds of accounts and cheating on the campaign. Although they are claiming that all accounts working on a group, but that would be a false excuse as well.

So, it would be more useful to encourage bounty scam hunters instead of discouraging them. So, other community members would earn a few bags of dust.

Yea, you have provided evidence as per our expectations. Good to see that you have convinced successfully OP and he has removed negative feedback and remove support from flags. That's what you don't need to worry about if you are legit. Just make sure when you are posting something on the forum, a little mistake would destroy your reputation. Hope you are satisfied now and concentrate on the development of your platform. Best of luck.

@OP, it would be nice if you edit the topic title and mark it SOLVED. So it will not mislead anyone. And yes, most likely it's time to lock the thread since you withdraw your accusation.

It was surprising to me such as a huge pump within an hour. But later on, notice most likely Elon Musk's Twitter hashtag create a FOMO on the market. This news spreading around all social media, and of course, I noticed from Telegram. I was just wondering to create a thread then noticed this thread.

Same here. It's become a part of the crypto community. When the richest or famous person supports bitcoin then a few numbers of big investors think Bitcoin is potential and start buying. Or there would be another reason, whales are manipulating price bases on Elon Musk's hashtag.

What happens of bounty manager faking on a spreadsheet and keep 50% stake for him. Who will investigate that? You are talking about something like your house burning by fire but you don't care since your living room still in the safe zone. Cheating on the bounty is one kind of scam, even a reputed manager wouldn't prevent them alone. When a user successfully scams on bounty then day by day he will attempt a big scam. On the other hand, bounty scammers spamming on all over the forum and it's quite complicated to report them all. Labeling them as scammer and cheater would reduce spam and scams because they wouldn't accept in other campaigns if managers notice participant's trust rating. So, I will say whoever exposing them means they are doing a great job. This forum shouldn't be a safe haven for scammers and spammers.

Straight answer, if the giveaway doesn't require any action like posting on a thread or something like that, and giveaway with bitcoin then you would create it on the service section. You can ask to apply only on the thread same as a Signature campaign. Nothing else you can ask there to get giveaway rewards. Anything else you need then better to stick with the Games and rounds section. There you can add a task to get rewards.

Anyway, I think someone from moderators will answer exactly where you can post your giveaway thread. Because our thoughts might be wrong as well.

OP should read this thread to learn how to deposit USDT(TRC20) on trust wallet, Tether (USDT) TRC20 vs ERC20. You have to deposit it in Tron address, it's the same as ERC20 that you can accept any kind of TRC20 on the Ethereum address. But make sure, although you can move your USDT(TRC20) free into the Tron chain. But later you need a small TRX to move your USDT from there. Otherwise, you can't spend your USDT from there, it like you need a gas fee for ERC20 transactions.

I see, I thought it's impossible to use other characters for domain name except for English. But to check now I have to visit Namecheap and try to search domain with "ё" character. But seems there is an available domain. It was surprising to me since my thought was wrong. I must say, it is easy to way to divert newbies. Sometimes they would confuse and fall into the trap. Our minds always do not work well, and that's an advantage for scammers.

Anyway, who are capable to use a hardware wallet means at least he/she have a few basic knowledge such as scam (IMO). So, I don't think any existing user will handover their seed phrase there.

I vote for "I trust that others verified it". Because I am not a tech guy and no idea about coding. But personally, I believe when an open-source platform launched officially, then a lot of expert research about that. Otherwise, the team behind the platform would cheat if no one there to audit it. Somehow someone will be revealed if something wrong. For example, I have been using Electrum, which is an open-source bitcoin wallet. I believe many forum experts already audit it and its proven open-source wallet. But of course, it's better if we learn to audit. So we don't need to depend on others.

Not enough evidence here. Your identity hide on the domain details. Just one thing matching is both domains had registered from GoDaddy. But fortunately, it doesn't prove anything. Most likely you are right on your claim, but it hasn't backed with enough evidence.

I am not sure if it would be a solution to prove, but you can try it to convince OP that you are the owner of both websites. Just put a noticeable note on both sites and ask the OP to take down this thread. Only he could help you if you may provide reasonable evidence according to OP's expectation.

When bitcoin was start pump, it looked unstoppable. But as we know, there is a correction after every pump. This is what happens now. Bitcoin price has become below $30K till today and $25K isn't too far from the current zone. At the same time, major altcoins dumping as well. So we can say we are in correction mode already. Although other cryptocurrencies weren't in bull, but they are dumping accordingly bitcoin move. So, yes I agree to wait a few more times before investing a fresh fund in bitcoin or other cryptos. So, there will be fewer chances to lose funds.

I am assuming you want to make a bank deposit, which means buy crypto after a fiat deposit. All exchanges would do the same in this case. It's because they have been using a third party to handle this kind of transaction. The better option I think you may buy direct crypto from peer to peer exchange like LocalCryptos and once you bought successfully on exchange address, then you can use it instantly. You don't need to wait for a second expect network confirmation time. Since you are a beginner, just choose a reputed exchange. I think it would be fit for you. Also, Binane offers peer to peer exchange as well. You may take a look, also forum currency exchange section would help to buy direct crypto. In this case, you must need trusted forum escrow to avoid any scam attempt.

Although the bitcoin double scheme very old scam method, but it still new for newbies whoever just entering on bitcoin lately. Surprisingly I have been adding such as telegram groups, I just report them and leave group or channel. Even though I hadn't made a post on the forum, but I have noticed many such threads. Yes, we need to create more awareness, so at least forum users would realize about that scam method and they could save their valuable assets. I have been reporting bitcoin doubler threads with referral links if found. Everyone should do the same IMO.

Doesn't necessary to create a new account to read forum rules. Shouldn't encourage create a new account for a red-tagged user. Because eventually, he would get tag again if revealed it. What I noticed from OP's trust feedback, he/she has been trying to do some shady businesses here. Based on that, I wouldn't encourage the OP to create a new account.

@OP, of course, this forum allows freedom of speech. So, it's for all users, either newbies or Legendary. If anyone doing something wrong, then other members have the right to talk about it and punish him.

There are no official campaign management rules. So every manager has the right to implement any campaign rules that aren't conflicting with the forum rules. The rest depends on the participants either they want to apply or not. Each campaign manager has its own standard of select participants. So below is my own opinion about accepting hire rank users.

"Usually I allow to apply hire rank participants on my campaign, but there are some standard (of my own). If there are no appropriate participants for the desired ranks, then I accept from hire ranks candidates. Doesn't matter if a high reputed and high earned merit users apply there, I will not accept them if I feel there is an appropriate candidate for the desired rank who meets the campaign requirements. Because, otherwise low ranks members wouldn't join in the campaign since there are lots of high-rank members ready to take a spot from lower ranks."

Pumping a few altcoins or DeFi tokens doesn't mean all over the crypto market has recovered. We know Bitcoin price recovered more than expected. But if you look at the overall crypto market, then a large number of altcoin still in the bear by comparing with Bitcoin. Most probably it's due to bitcoin volatility. I am not expecting the alts market will recover until bitcoin show a stable point at all. We don't know the exact time for that, but hope soon bitcoin will be stable somewhere. Stable doesn't mean it should stick with a price, it does mean bitcoin would play between a zone.

The simple answer, we (the community) have been controlling the bitcoin market price (not bitcoin price). Don't mix with bitcoin price and bitcoin market price. Because, whatever amount of bitcoin with you, then the price you can ask whatever you want, it doesn't necessary to match with bitcoin market price. And bitcoin market price means, the current live price of bitcoin on the markets. So the live price controlling by the whole active community of bitcoin. Whoever is related to the bitcoin, then he/she is a part of the community, it would be whales or any organization. But whatever reasons you have mentioned on the OP, they can't actually control the bitcoin market's price, rather than you can say they could influence the market price by manipulations. No one could control the price of any decentralized currency like Bitcoin.
