Is this the end of yobit, or will it continue running (like btc-e)? Moscow police arrested the rumored founder of yobit, but the exchange is still online. There's no conclusive proof yet, only rumors. https://bitnewstoday.com/news/exchange/businessman-connected-with-yobit-arrested-in-moscow/The alleged leader of the cryptocurrency exchange called Yobit or at least someone who had a big share in it has been arrested in Sheremetyevo Airport, Moscow. He is reportedly accused of establishing fraud financial schemes. His name is Pavel Krymov. Sadly, there are very few direct proofs of his ownership of this exchange, only amateur investigations made by those who already suffered from the schemes of Mr. Krymov. http://www.coinfox.info/news/8864-millions-of-nem-stolen-from-coincheck-transferred-to-russia-related-exchange-yobitYobit is a cryptocurrency exchange supposedly founded by Pavel Krymov, a Russian entrepreneur born in Ukraine... Although he never confirmed he had been involved in creating the exchange, these rumors were circulating on the net for a while. As The Pharmacist said, no concrete evidence that this person has indeed been involved in founding the yobit (scam) company, but for sure, it would not surprise me in the slightest if he was and had a ton of experience with MLM/ponzi/scams. Not the first time that Russia has investigated yobit, either: https://cointelegraph.com/news/cryptocurrency-exchange-yobit-investigated-in-russia-on-fraud-claims. Yobit's having a ton of issues to sort out, complaints of yobit are growing exponentially. Don't trust me? Go to scam accusations and see for yourself, I'd say probably 10-20% of all scam reports are of or relating to yobit. Also review sites that could potentially involve sockpuppets have terrible reviews for yobit. Whether or not this allegation is actually true, doesn't matter. All we know right now is a known scammer being arrested. We can't confirm the link between him and yobit. But one thing is for sure - if you have BTC on yobit, no matter what, try to get it out and don't look back. You'll be lucky if you can do that at an early stage. |

They still hold over 34k MGO in the same sending address: https://etherscan.io/address/0x305b66b0e7f5acd98e9177a6499ea7dff68fa320. Clearly this was on their end. There was nothing that you could have done wrong since they are the senders. Obviously, as they are yobit, they have been ignoring your support requests. Absolutely horrendous behaviour. Probably closer to 6 months wait as well, with no sign of progress. Yobit is going down - about time too: Some interesting information.
Not exactly sure if that is a reliable source of information. I mean the news hasn't spread very far and there are questions to be asked about whether this man is actually connected to yobit or not. But with its investbox feature and lack of support altogether, as well as evasive procedures in terms of regulation, it could definietly be a product of a former con artist. |

Since the ban on ICO and exchanges released by Chinese government on September 4, it seems investors from Chinese market have very limited influence on the global BTC price, do you agree? Share your comments below.
They definitely still have an impact on the global bitcoin market. Just because their government has banned bitcoin, does not mean that people are stopping to trade bitcoins altogether. That would make no sense considering that was literally the venture that made them rich in the first place. They have a more hidden influence right now, though. A lot of the purchasing and trading have now gone to p2p mode, sometimes completely off localbitcoins and only through a network of contacts, even. Others may be trading overseas in different various exchanges. It's not right to discount the Chinese bitcoin community like that, they are still thriving just in a different way. |

Thanks everyone replying here. Thank you magneto for giving me very valuable suggestions.
Finally I got my Neteller exchaning from BTC. I must admit, this forum is the place where people will get a lot of quality information.
Best regards
No worries. Next time you need some fiat I think it's probably a better idea to exchange for it instead of trying to ask out a loan denominated in fiat currency with a specific payment processor, such as Neteller because of the reversibility. Unless you're extremely trusted nobody is going to give you that loan. Much better to trade for it if you had collateral in the first place. The only time you lock your loan into fiat is if you want to go long with BTC (if you think that BTC is going to go up more than the interest you're paying). Since everything's in order now, please lock the thread using the bottom left corner controls. |

they gave me back the account ofcourse with no 25k digibyte in it i just have to accept this
i just learnd a lesson i geuss
i never used passwords like 123 it was a long password with diffrent characters in it i doubt that get geussed
everytime i tried to set up F2A it didnt worked for me now that i set it up again and now it works
but who cares everything is lost and im fucked GG...
not gonna gamble anymore
If you don't set up 2fa they can always say that your account got hacked because weak security. And you can't really prove otherwise to them, because no matter how strong a password is, technically it still could be guessed. And for better or for worse, they won't refund any 'hacked accounts' of course. If it was an inside job, what proof do you have? Otherwise, you could easily log in from another location or use a VPN/proxy to access your account on their site and claim that you have been hacked, and get a refund every single time. Good to hear that you are quitting gambling, though. Especially, luckygames.io. Their account is given a red trust for a reason. |

Isn't the safest way just have them deposit cash in your bank account? Then wait the next day so that way there is no reversals? Also if you deposit cash into someones bank account and then later on come back and say you made a mistake depositing in wrong bank account, do they still allow that person to get their money back? I heard that was the scam back then when someone would sell btc for bank deposit at bank of america and the guy who deposited cash into boa would come back with the receipt and said they made mistake.
It's pretty much the safest you can get. Some people do put out terms saying that once they show you the receipt, you have to release the funds no matter if the funds only clear the next day or not. They will usually demand you release the payment as soon as the payment hits your account in the case of cash deposit because it is instant, unlike a bank transfer. I have went with these advertisers, personally never had any issues with them. I only deal with people with at least 1k+ trades in these scenarios. I don't think that cash deposits are supposed to be reversible, but if you claim that you made a mistake as soon as you deposit, it could definitely happen. Will depend on the bank but these happenings are rarer than paypal chargebacks by a mile. Only risk here is still that you could have a victim of a scam paying to your account, and the scammer is the one that's getting the BTC. Later on, the victim could use your bank accounts to trace you down and think that you're the scammer. |

They gave me negative trust, and they thought I was impostor. I didn't do anything. When I created the user name, I didn't know about DannyHamilton. Because I am a newer, he is a legend.So they thought I was an impostor.
I was very angry about it. Who can restore my trust.I don't know what to do now.
Nobody can do anything about it, except for the 3 people who gave you negative trust. I would recommend asking theymos nicely to change your username so that you are able to get away from the stereotype of being an imposter of the real DannyHamilton. While there are definitely public figures named Danny Hamilton or even you may be named Danny Hamilton, the fact that you changed the "n" at the end to an "m" is extremely suspicious, and since people have done these types of imposter scams before, DT members usually tag them on first sight. No guarantees about theymos changing your name or your account's negative trust being removed(since they are supposed to act as a caution to other people) though, so if you really want to use the forum, and none of the options I introduced work, then just create a new account without sounding like an imposter of a trusted existing user. |

Better version: https://www.coindesk.com/germany-considers-crypto-legal-equivalent-to-fiat-for-tax-purposes/It's not every tax that is being disregarded. BTC is still taxed with certain scenarios. The countries that are actually taxing bitcoin with an added GST/VAT are stupid. Bitcoin is not a good. It is a currency. It literally in its whitepaper states that it is an p2p electronic cash system. It's not some collectible that's being traded around. You're not delivering a service either. You're literally exchanging assets... It's like precious metals. Australia has waived the GST last year on BTC as well. Overall, this is great news for bitcoin but obviously the CGT will still apply if you cash out your bitcoins, depending on the tax thresholds in your countries of course. Also always check with your local tax official before you actually take any advice from articles online. |

Hi All
I sent more than 30 days ago bitcoins to a person’s wallet (I know and trust him) as payment for service
His wallet account number is : 32Mf73ygAXtprbsPWo2cte8QRfxGCYziTo and it is correct
From my wallet, the transaction was confirmed and debited the coins I sent, this is the transaction ID 7105ca4a1aef228d8deb0710db26aeb517e4ef88920c25271abc28eba74b0356.
For whatever reasons, the receiving wallet shows the transaction as UNCONFIRMED and it is still in that status. after escalating the issue His wallet administrator UNOCOIN claims that the coins never reached their servers. Despite that the block chain shows other wise.
Question: can It be possible that blockchain shows one thing and the wallet administrator does not see it? Is there a possibility that the coins are stuck somewhere? How can I confirm this and fix it?
Regards
It's weird that your friend has deposited a few other transactions to the same wallet address, after the 0.06 BTC did not go through. So clearly, the deposit address must have been working for him to continue to deposit. Unocoin is an exchange, not a wallet. So payments are processed by them. It'll be easy for your friend to screenshot his deposit address and then give them the txid on which the bitcoins were deposited to his account and everyone can see that there is enough confirmations for it to be deposited into his account. I doubt Unocoin is that dumb/ignorant towards such a case which they would handle all the time. I sincerely hope this is not the case, but the person you're talking about here may be lying. I could be completely off with this prediction, but this seems like an attempt to scam rather than anything Unocoin based since it's already been 30 days. |

If you were going to build a new cryptocurrency exchange, how would you do it? Would you use existing open source software such as Peatio, would you create a custom made platform, or would you try to use one of the existing decentralized exchange platforms? Consider from a business perspective as well as a developer's perspective...  I would invest a great deal more than what existing exchanges have invested into human resources for support. If support is responsive and can actively solve issues, then they can literally do anything. Most exchanges start out well with the admin directly handling support tickets which means that it's efficient. Then after it grows, admins seem to abandon the support and outsource it to people who have less of a knowledge of how an exchange is run, as well as less rights to actually conduct something. The design and actual functionality of the site in my honest opinion will come secondly only if support is established. This is why yobit has so many pairings, and nobody uses them except for newbies or pump and dumpers. It's also why even though poloniex's design and interface has stayed the same but they've lost a great deal of customers - due to support issues. |

Bill Gates is FUDing bitcoin, just like he did with Google : he refused to buy the Google project because he thought it had no future. And do you remember his skeptiscism about the Internet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lskpNmUl8yQThis means the huge BTC raise is incoming in the years to come : ) Buy a few before it gets too pricey eheh I mean, he's right about the speculative ICO bubble. Even though the points he mentions has some sense to them, I think he fails to give the average Joe reading the article who knows nohting about bitcoin a chance to decide for themselves. He basically fails to mention any of the positives bitcoin bring, such as decentralisation which many legitimate people on this forum love bitcoin for. At the end of the day, he's not going to be the one affecting bitcoin price. Doesn't mean that it's definitely going up because he said what he said either. Gates is not trying to buy bitcoin, he is already rich beyond belief. I think he is genuinely trying to FUD because he believes that Bitcoin will fail.
I can't count the times where someone famous and 'knowledgeable' was trying to discredit cryptocurrency.
Honestly, people linked to old establishment are not reliable source of facts about Bitcoin.
On the contrary, he may be saying this to try and drag back down the price of btc so he can get in at a much lower rate. Even for people with gates' stature, he'd still wish to buy in a lower price to maximize profit. I think he sees btc's potential already and is seriously considering crypto. He may. But does his opinion really count towards anything in the market? I think that he is probably genuinely trying to warn people about bitcoin's negatives. Which there are many. But I think the positives that bitcoin bring grossly outweigh the negatives here. |

Can anyone help to explain why BITCOIN. Movement is now stagnanted?
Many people said Chinese new year is the cause of the downward movement of the market.
Please how true is this?
The end of Chinese New Year had no effect on bitcoin. If anything it would have pushed price of bitcoin up as people would have dumped before the Chinese New Year and started accumulating again after the new year. So that theory is really not working out right now. It's stagnant, because the market forces are pretty much in the equal. We're hanging around $9k-11k with very little room upwards or downwards at the moment. I think that we're testing the waters with $11k right now, with support being established at $10k instead of $9k, which is why we're moving in a very strict range of prices. |

I may have skipped over this, but how do you actually get the volatility index? Is there an algorithm which you guys run on the recent history of the coin which someone sees to determine the volatility?
I see that there are a few coins with over 100% volatility, which makes me wonder.
You should include the value of each coin along with the volume and the volatility index %. If charts are included it's probably better as well.
I think that instead of licensing your alerts monthly, you should make it yearly/lifetime with a lower price per month. Otherwise the transaction fees used to pay for these transactions isn't gonna be worth it.

Same here. I don't see any advantages of this site over coinmarketcap/cryptocompare/coingecko or any other crypto comparison/market capitalisation tracking sites. You offer no new features and you still have ads.
I would suggest filtering the ads on your site as well, otherwise you'll end up like coinmarketcap when one of the ponzi schemes that you are promoting becomes a scam. In your case, I saw an ad of EOZ, presumably another lending platform scam.
If you really want to help the traders you need to include some more technical indicators with better charting. Include the orderbooks in real time as well, that would be nice to have.

I notice this thread last night and while I did find it this thread to be very interesting, I want to ask clarification about alia "brother". Why did your "brother" offer a "hot girl vid/pic service" claiming to be a 18 year old girl if hes not a girl, and not 18? ( http://archive.is/tt836#selection-6289.0-6321.15) I honestly do not really buy the whole "brother" thing but if it is proven to be true that you have a brother and you two arent actors on skype (assuming someone would go that length to validate anything, which I doubt), then would that also prove that your "brother" is a scammer? I just find it a bit odd that favours would claim to be a girl but youre stating hes your brother. Lol. So Alia’s brother was lying about his identity also, and alia says that there has been no wrongdoings. I doubt a Skype call would work at all. If there were people that actually watched your cam model on video then it means that you’re going to continue to hire the same model in an attempt of “verifying yourself”. Just refund atriz, if you ask anyone, you will not be legendary by the end of the term. Atriz probably doesn’t care about that sort of money but your attitude when you’re clearly exposed and there is tons of evidence somehow is that we have no proof? Wtf. |

It's in Israel, but still a pretty big victory for crypto. I don't see the same thing happening in the USA, though. I think that I've heard a major bank in USA that refuses to deal with funds that are sourced from a coinbase account and selectively making the life of their users miserable(that uses cryptos, of course). Same thing happened a few years back with Australian traders: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-09-22/bitcoin-traders-claim-discrimination-by-australias-banks/6795782. Hopefully, this can become a growing trend. Healthy competition such as bitcoin will only make banks step up their game more, in the end everyone benefits. Protecting the banks from these innovations makes no sense, apart from pure greed. |

So yeah, this is your typical traditional asset manager fear mongering, but I found this article most interesting because it includes a side by side comparison chart of volitility for BTC, ETH, Ripple and tradition assets, stocks and gold. We already know how volatile it is, but had never seen a side by side comparison like that. Remember, though, the word volitity has a connotation when talking about investments, but it goes both ways. Highly volition assets can “explode to the upside”, too. At least this BlackRock asset manager does appear to acknowledge that Cryptos may eventually become mainstream. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/26/worlds-largest-asset-manager-says-get-ready-to-stomach-complete-losses-in-cryptocurrencies.htmlI don't see anything wrong with what he is saying here. Especially if you are margin trading, or just flat out speculating on bitcoin, you should only invest what you can afford to lose. And that's excellent advice for any newbie to bitcoin, don't look at it as something of a short term investment that will flip your money. Instead, you should at least get a basic understanding of why bitcoin is important to the health of our economy and why it's so revolutionary and be prepared to hold your BTC for the long term. He actually said this as well: We see cryptocurrencies potentially becoming more widely used in the future as the markets mature. Yet for now we believe they should only be considered by those who can stomach potentially complete losses What he really means is probably that BTC, if you are just using it as an investment, should only be added to a diverse portfolio, which you can afford to invest in. The quote by CNBC is out of proportion and makes it seem like he's a bitcoin hater. |

Bitcoin is a foretaste of the kind of future we will be having. It has many advantages and positive features which the people are clamoring for especially after the economic near-collapse in 2008-2009. We need a better financial system away from the controlling interest of the greedy and corrupt traditional monetary platform we have right now. However, the road to this better financial system is not an easy one...can be just as bumpy as hell in fact. Change is not something that will happen overnight...it has to be fought and there will be casualties along the way (which can make things and people go sour).
Bitcoin and the technology behind it (the blockchain) since just another man-made is not perfect and nothing will be... but it has the features that can minimize the pull of human nature. Things are hinging on how we the people would appreciate Bitcoin and how we can use it for good and not just another tool for our greedy and corrupt human nature. Right now, we are always experiencing volatility all because of over speculation (partly cased by our desire for more or greed).
We should be hoping that after all the dusts are settled, Bitcoin will not be just another failed experiment...or just another man-made system that fell because we failed to go beyond our shortsighted human weaknesses.
While I agree that volatility is a huge problem for bitcoin right now, that's what all new financial assets will be. There will be elements of speculation because people are not sure what bitcoin really is and not a lot of people are ready to hold it long term yet. Regardless of whether mainstream adoption actually happens, there will always be a group of bitcoin enthusiasts that will maintain the project. And as long as people are doing this, bitcoin is not a failed experiment since it's still operating. And that's the beauty of decentralisation. No central entity can close down bitcoin and deem it failed. Whether mainstream adoption actually happens, right now is way too early to tell. But there are good signs already for sure. |

The regulations only have a influence, when governments come with unrealistic and unfair regulations. A government can be Bitcoin friendly, but their regulations can be so restrictive that it suffocates Bitcoin's adoption and growth.
A typical example of this was the BitLicense that was introduced in New York. It was very complicated and expensive and it created a barrier to entry for many small busineses. A lot of those businesses left New York for more Bitcoin friendly states.
There news about strict regulations, will most definately have a negative affect on the price.
Absolutely agreed. A lot of the regulation attempts from the government are just attempts to restrict entry for people that are aspiring to use bitcoin, to exchange their fiat currency into bitcoin, and so on. Doesn't have any logic in them other than restricting entry. And that, obviously, even though bitcoin may be legalised in that country, is bad for bitcoin. And whenever that kind of news comes out to the public, traders panic especially if they are located in those countries and it leads to a panic dump. So it definitely does have an effect on bitcoin price, no doubt about it. |

Becareful if you go to Yobit twitter account. Someone said that there was a giveaway and i got scammed. The twitter account from the scammer is YobitEcxhange.
You can see that the 'Ecxhange' is not well written. He succeed to write the giveaway like it was a message from Yobit.
Don't participate in any giveaway at Twitter. The ETH address of the scammer is 0x6823E76CC93702118Fc241e0c7F8466A85526756
I didn't completely read every comments. The problem is they have a lot of accomplice and everyone post things like they get the airdrop.
But they are from the same team.
The negative comments are at the very end of the comments... And Yobit didn't delete this scammer and friends comments.
I have seen that some other people got scammed too.
If something sound too good, don't participate. It must be a scam. They only want to stole your money.
Obvious imposter. I doubt that they actually scammed many people because it was THAT obvious. Anyone that commented on their posts saying that it's legit are most likely going to be shills. I don't blame you for falling into this scam, everyone has their off days... Just be more careful next time if anyone demands you to send money to them for a larger return as the reward, no matter what cover story they are using and how legitimate sounding they may be. They actually commented on yobit's warning post on twitter with this same offer. With an army of shills. Ridiculous. |
