41  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you know that bitcoin has spread all over the world. on: June 28, 2024, 03:32:47 AM
As a beginner in this potential forum, I never knew that bitcoin has spread round the whole world, I thought is only this forum and few countries that know bitcoin, but what I saw in the village when I traveled for local business to buy with cash because this is the season of the crops, I was so surprised seen two of my customers discussing about bitcoin in the local market, [..]
Bitcoin is the most famous and oldest cryptocurrency now, and I do not think there is an educated person with internet access who hasn't heard of it before.

The residents of your village and many traders in remote villages worldwide prefer Bitcoin as a better means than traditional banks because it only requires them to have phones connected to the Internet. It is also better than local money, as it can be considered a promising and safe investment and maintains its value. Governments are fighting Bitcoin, but how will they succeed in fighting the decentralization and high privacy that Bitcoin provides? How can they fight all these people who adopt and use Bitcoin daily? They have no choice but to regulate its use and trading. It's just a matter of time before Bitcoin becomes more widely recognized and legal in more countries.

Very pleasant to the air when said and good to be read by all. But in reality is it very easy to have multiple streams of income for some countries? I understand that those that live in the United States and in the Europe could actually take up many jobs as they can in order to survive. How about those that are in some part of Africa where the government do not generate job. Where the graduates are very much unemployed. Where getting one job is difficult let alone having more than one. Where there is no enabling environment for small scale businesses to strive. It is not that easy but I encourage people to try as much as possible to have multiple streams of income. No one can actually predict what tomorrow has and also bitcoin could be in the bear market for so long that it will begin to affect the Hodlers.
I agree with what you said, but why do you limit additional sources of income to government jobs only? For example, if you are a property owner, you can rent it, or if you are a freelancer and have skills in one of the fields, or if you are a YouTuber or content creator, etc., then you can earn a good income from these, and they can be additional sources of income for you. The list goes on, and there are many options, so you should look for ways to provide yourself with an additional source of income. Don't limit your sources of income to a job or an investment you have.

Suppose you have more than one way to generate a good income. In that case, you will be resilient in crises or emergencies and ultimately achieve your investment goals because you will not break them before achieving long-term profits. With every decrease, you can increase your investments with more money, and your living requirements, studies, and the like will also be under your control.

لم أشارك في هذا التوزيع لكن بالمس حاولت تجربة الدخول للموقع المخصص لمعرفة ان كنت مؤهلا للحصول على المكافأة لكن ظهرت لي صفحة تحذر من كون الموقع تم التبليغ عنه للاشتباه بكونه موقع تصيد!
اعدت التجربة اليوم و تمكنت من الدخول بشكل عادي. لا أعرف ما هو السبب حقيقة لكن ربما تم التبليغ عن الموقع و قام أصحابه بالتواصل مع الجهة المختصة لرفع الحظر. هل واجه اي شخص آخر نفس الشيئ؟
ما قاله الأخ albon مهم جدا و يجب أن يتم فضح عملية التحيل هذه و عدم السكوت عنها. لكن يجب جمع الدلائل الكافية و وقتها يمكن نشر موضوع في قسم عمليات التحيل.
صراحة الموقع كان ومازال يعمل معى بشكل طبيعيى, ربما أبلغوا الاشخاص الذين لم يحصلوا على الايدروب الخاص بهم على الدومين الخاص بهم  اتفق معك واعادوه فريقهم مرة أخرى,,

صراحة كم التغريدات التى هاجمت المشروع وفضحت عدم نزاهة فريقه فى اطلاق الإيردوب كانت كافية حيث تشير الإحصائيات على منصة dune.com والمقالات إلى قلة عوائدهم وإيراداتهم التى تلقتها ZkSync وهجر المستخدمين لشبكتها وما إلى ذلك مقارنة بشهر يناير بداية العام, وهذا ما يشير إلى تأثير الانتقادات من المجتمع الضخم الذين لم يراعي فريق المشروع دوره البارز فى النجاحات التى حققوها,

كان هذا من ضمن المشاريع طوية المدى التى كنت نشط عليها منذ البداية, على أمل أن يوزعون إيردوب للمشاركين الأوائل فى مشروعهم بشكل عادل فى النهاية, لكن هذا هو الحال فى عالم الإيردوبات الغير مضمون والغير متوقع الربحية به.
44  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Be careful about free streaming of UEFA EURO 2024 - Medusa Malware on: June 27, 2024, 09:29:16 PM
Any football fan who wants to watch UEFA EURO 2024 can watch it on his television via the official and local channels with broadcast rights... I see no obstacle in that. If he does not have a television, he can watch the matches via the official websites of these major channels or through its official applications on a mobile phone or computer. Even if it requires paying a subscription fee, there is nothing wrong with that, as the viewer will be safe and get what he wants in a legitimate way instead of downloading one of the malicious streaming applications, such as 4K Sports, which contains malicious malware, which will lead to his device being hacked in the end. The matter will worsen if football fans are interested in crypto because hackers can drain their wallets and steal sensitive security information.

Everyone must be careful and not help scammers succeed in their scams.
45  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your honest stats how much you make profit with meme coins ? on: June 27, 2024, 08:38:58 PM
I am not enthusiastic about these meme coins, so I did not achieve profits or losses from them. They are a high-risk investment and highly volatile coins. There are many Rugpull projects and scams, making it an adventure that is not worth risking my money on. There are sufficient viable investment alternatives in the market for me.

So a lot people make huge money with memes im interested to know If you make Also ?
Indeed, many people have achieved massive amounts of money with Memes, but on the other hand, there are also those who have lost vast sums. And I do not think whoever achieved these returns from meme currencies did so without previous losses and failures unless they were fortunate. It doesn't matter how much people have made from their investments; these are people's luck & chances and do not apply to everyone. Also, do not let greed blind you to the dark side of these meme currencies. Before thinking about the positives, consider the negatives as well.
46  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 15 minutes of reading can save your BTC.Most comprehensive article about SCAM on: June 26, 2024, 09:59:02 PM
I have read the article; thank you for sharing it.

In the part about what to do if someone falls victim to a scam after downloading malware-infected software, I agree with the first solution: disconnecting the infected device from the internet immediately. Also, I would add that it is essential to transfer important files to another computer, change all passwords away from the infected computer, and enable 2FA. The alternative device should be used to track the scammer's wallet. One might be lucky if the scammer transfers the stolen assets to any CEX, as the victim can contact the exchange's support and report the stolen funds, providing the necessary reports and requirements for assistance. It is also advisable to reinstall the operating system on the infected device, preferably using Linux or Mac, if the user can manage them because merely uninstalling malicious software is not sufficient on Windows. Sometimes, even the ESET antivirus program might not detect the trojan.

I have checked your platform interface, and it seems there is a service for buying Bitcoin with PayPal or SEPA bank transfer. Why should we trust your platform? And why not use well-known exchanges P2P, instead of your own platform?

اذا كان الشخص او الموقع الذي قام بعملية التحيل من خارج المنتدى فلا يوجد الكثير مما يمكن للاعضاء القيام به لمساعدتك، للاسف. لكن موضوعك يساهم بالتأكيد في فضح المتحيلين  و الطريقة التي يعتمدونها مما يساهم في توعية البقية حتى لا يقعوا في نفس الخطأ.
فعلاً اصبت أخى خالد, سيكون من الافضل فى قسم إتهامات الإحتيال لو كانت عملية الاحتيال داخل المنتدى كمنصة تبادل مشبوهه أو موقع تصديى أو مشروع تم سرقة ورقة العمل الخاصة به أدبياً من مشروع آخر ونحو ذلك من المواقع الإحتيالية التى تسبب الخسائر المالية لمستخدمينها.

وما أراه أنه تكثر عمليات الاحتيال فى قسم حملات المكافات بنسبة كبيرة والعملات البديلة وقسم الخدمات والاقسام الأخرى وحتى إن لم تكن عملية الإحتيال داخل المنتدى فإنه بطبيعة الحال سيتصدر الموضوع فى محركات البحث وبالتالى يجعل اعضاء المنتدى وزوار محركات البحث يتوخون الحذر ولهذا ينبغى كما ذكر الأخوة الإلتزام بتقرير قسم إتهامات الاحتيال وذكر كامل التفاصيل والادلة القوية التى تدعم إتهاماتك حيث بدون أدلة أو اثباتات منطقية فسوف لا يتم أخذ موضوعك على محمل الجد.

وايضاً [هذا الموضوع] للإبلاغ عن الروابط المشبوهه والخبيثة كروابط لموضوعات إعلانات لأحد المشاريع التى تم ترويجها هنا فى المنتدى والتى تحتوى على روابط جيت هاب مزيفة وتحتوى على فيروسات وبرمجيات ضارة ومن بعد التأكد ومراجعة المشرف فإنه يقوم بحظر ناشريها.
48  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you earn with your crypto? on: June 26, 2024, 06:21:17 PM
I don't like the launch pool since it just provides you small profit and the worst part is getting an impermanent loss which is very annoying when you just want to get profit for the liquidity pool. And, I think it would be much better to earn crypto through staking, lending, or trading but of course, it needs knowledge and a required amount of assets before you can earn a lot of crypto.
Where would the loss be if you were to participate in the Launchpool with one of the stablecoins? The loss occurs when you participate in the Launchpool using the exchange's own volatile currency, which may cause financial losses if its price drops after the end of the Launchpool for one of the projects. It is worth noting, as @Makishart mentioned that large capital is required to achieve good profits; otherwise, you will end up with just a few dollars. Of course, in the stake as well, your capital is what determines the percentage of profits you will receive.

It is also possible to earn with our crypto by participating in airdrops offered by Web3 exchange wallets such as Binance and Gateio, etc., which usually ask for participation fees and whose profits are based on the number of participants, allocation, and the like. For me, trading is more profitable, but it requires good experience.
49  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Your most important crypto advice? on: June 25, 2024, 09:50:40 PM
My most important crypto advice is "not your keys - not your coins" because it is simply a very important advice, where we should be aware to have real access to our coins and don't need to rely on a middleman. Bitcoin is clearly designed as a P2P currency.
Of course, this is one of the best and most important tips that you mentioned for beginners. Following this advice closely is the use of a reliable hardware wallet, as it offers more secure holdings for the investor's assets with its high-security methods and excellent features that make it resistant to hacking. Also, one of these hardware wallets must be purchased directly from its manufacturer rather than from unauthorized markets. The security methods of the hardware wallet, such as recovery options, wallet access, and PIN codes, should be known only to the wallet owner and no one else.

Also, among the tips that I consider important are gaining experience and educating oneself. The more you increase your knowledge in this field through reading, learning, and understanding what you don't know, the more resilient you will become, leading to success as an investor and trader.
50  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is there any other way wallet can be compromised? on: June 25, 2024, 09:03:51 PM
My questions:
Is it possible for airdrop sites to access your funds even after disconnecting your wallet?
Is there any other way wallet can be compromised aside this mistakes?

It's becoming scary day by day to leave huge amount of assets on wallet this days. Perhaps this is one of the reason some people still think everything about bitcoin and crypto entirely is a scam as funds lost can not be recovered. I will appreciate detail explanation on this and the solution to avoid future occurrence.
Of course, scammers can gain access to your assets even after disconnecting your wallet from the deceptive domain if you have granted them token approvals or malicious smart contract approvals and mistakenly signed transactions. Check out this [article] published by Metamask.

Also, I agree with several members who mentioned the possibility that your computer might be compromised. Therefore, if you have created a new wallet on this infected device, the scammers will know your seed phrases and private keys. I recommend using an alternative device that has antivirus protection. You should install trusted wallets because using malicious browser extensions, unofficial wallet applications, or downloading cracked software, in general, will threaten your wallets' security.

Yes, this is a well-known since 2018. Check out his Trusted Feedback record.  

This is an insane person who tries to get tips and promote his projects through these attention-seeking topics that he has been posting for years, falsely claiming that he possesses the real identity of Satoshi or was in contact with him. He has not provided any effective proofs, and all the red flags you mentioned above, OP, indicate that he is like the other scammers who have appeared before, claiming to be Satoshi or closely associated with him just to attract attention, gain community trust, and scam beginners and the general public. And his post [this one], if he is indeed ALEXANDER ELBANNA and the PDF he attached from the SEC indicates that this person is untrustworthy and has previously established fraudulent schemes and companies, which he closed after successfully stealing investors' money.

I will support the flag now. Thank you, OP, for warning the community about this member.
52  Economy / Exchanges / Re: What if Most Centralized Exchanges are Banned? on: June 25, 2024, 01:46:59 PM
Some countries already blame crypto for their economic woes. We saw this with the harassment of some crypto executives and even jail terms for some. What will happen to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies if most countries ban centralized exchanges? What steps are the crypto enthusiasts taking to preempt this?
It is really strange to blame cryptocurrencies and make them the primary cause of this country’s economic problems. Crypto contributes to financial inclusion, provides increased access, decentralization, and privacy, improves the efficiency and costs of transactions, and is an alternative solution to traditional financial systems. The economic problems that this country suffers from are the result of other causes, and cryptocurrencies have nothing to do with them. Many countries have legalized crypto, and their economies have only been positively affected.

I do not think countries can ban CEX because it is already compatible with the regulatory and legal regulations in these countries, operates its services legally, and does not conflict with AML or KYC policies. And if these platforms are licensed in the country, I don't think they can be banned. Even if we assume that this happens, Bitcoin and some altcoins appeared before the launch of these centralized platforms. Then, through P2P and decentralized platforms, things will be finer and better than CEX, which conflicts with the decentralization of cryptocurrencies.
53  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: ZKHAMSTER SCAM on: June 24, 2024, 06:54:59 PM
The project that promised to give the fees and tokens on the zksync network stole the tokens from my wallet. Many Twitter influencers marketed the project and hundreds of people were defrauded because of it.
This scam project was widely promoted by numerous unscrupulous influencers. The ZKHAMSTER project exploited the wave of angry trends on Platform X against the ZkSync project due to their unfair airdrop. They aimed to deceive and drain users' funds through their rug project, which claimed to offer a refund for ZkSync users' fees using the scam $ZKHAMSTER token and their phishing website.

It is worth noting that any projects or sites claiming to offer a refund for cryptocurrency gas fees are a clear scam, as we have seen before with phishing sites claiming to refund Ethereum gas fees. Therefore, caution is advised, and it is essential not to follow the recommendations and tweets of influencers, as they are likely to be partners in this scam with the perpetrators of these fraudulent projects.
54  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Bounty FullHouse casino plagiarized the whitepaper from Shuffle on: June 21, 2024, 10:12:27 PM
I want to bump this thread since the bounty campaign is still existing and still promoting this casino. I believe that the bounty manager that keep a campaign running despite its known plagiarized project is sharing the risk to the forum member especially for the bounty campaign participants that might not get paid they run after the promotion.

I think the manager is accountable too for the risk and worthy for having an active flag. What do you think?
Campaign is still active here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5497630.0;topicseen
I have checked the bounty link, and this manager has now locked it. I think he waited to lock it until the deadline for the end of the FullHouse bounty campaigns, which is June 20th, 2024. If he guarantees the payments, as Plaguedeath mentioned, we hope he will distribute them fairly to the participants who have promoted this casino since May 24th. I believe that the investors are the ones who may be dragged into this plagiarized project, and they will face these risks.

When this issue was raised, he should not have ignored the private messages from members. He should have taken some action, such as temporarily locking the bounty and being present here to discuss the matter and inform the community about what he would do to maintain his reputation. It seems that the negative trust he recently received was deserved, as he has not learned from the previous lessons since 2020.
55  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not get discouraged by the current price of Bitcoin on: June 21, 2024, 02:20:22 PM
Yeah, don't get too down about Bitcoin's current price. It's known for its wild price swings, going up and down a lot. What matters more is the long-term potential and the technology behind it. Many believe in its future and see current dips as opportunities to buy at a lower price. Just remember, investing in Bitcoin should be done with caution and as part of a diversified strategy. Keep an eye on the big picture, not just the day-to-day fluctuations.
Since Bitcoin is a volatile asset and is not price-stable, it is bound to fluctuate between decreases and increases due to various influencing factors and reasons. Indeed, its capabilities, the technology behind it, its limited supply, reliability, and widespread popularity make it one of the best and most profitable long-term investment options. Bitcoin has gone through many cases of stagnation over past eras, yet it has consistently rebounded strongly and overcome all the obstacles that caused its price to deteriorate. Whoever has faith in the future of Bitcoin will undoubtedly not be discouraged by its current price, negative opinions about it, or its price diverging from predictions or analyses. Whoever has a long-term mindset and takes advantage of every price drop to increase his quantity will undoubtedly one day achieve what he desires in terms of returns that may change his life for the better.
56  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Kraken - $3 million stolen on: June 20, 2024, 08:17:36 PM
I agree with the article above; it is clearly an act of extortion against Kraken by the security researcher. If he had been an ethical white hat hacker, he would have merely informed them of the bug after transferring one of the cryptocurrencies worth $4. He would have been eligible for the bug bounty program that Kraken offers to security researchers, allowing them to receive a large reward for their efforts and enabling the Kraken security team to fix critical bugs in their system.

However, it is evident that he exploited the bug through two other accounts belonging to him and withdrew 3 million dollars, which now puts him under the law's scrutiny. If he passes KYC in their exchange, it is a matter of time until they discover his identity and recover the stolen funds through the appropriate authorities. In fact, what happened to Kraken can happen to any exchange platform, as they are not free of bugs, so we always warn against using them as wallets.
57  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: scammer @Millinillion was trying to steal 120$ on: June 20, 2024, 06:51:15 PM
It's impossible to know who you spoke with if the person who contacted you via Skype never sent you a PM on Bitcointalk confirming their Skype ID. Alternatively, you can prove it's the same person if their Skype ID is the same as what they posted somewhere publicly on Bitcointalk.

Thanks for the warning, but this will not be enough for any further action.
Yes, what you mentioned is correct. Honestly, I checked Millinillion's posts and topics on the forum, and it is clear that he did not make his Skype ID public as a means to contact him, only his Discord and Telegram accounts, and he also did not offer an account exchange services; what I saw were social media services. This was strong evidence that the person who contacted the OP on Skype is a scammer, as the bitcointalk link he sent does not contain the service he claims to offer.

I'm glad the OP was vigilant and didn't send him his money first and asked him to go through one of the escrow service providers on the forum to guarantee his rights, which made the scammer angry. Also, the scammer refused to provide proof of owning the UK account, using silly excuses. I hope the OP will Refrain from the idea of ​​purchasing a verified exchange account because the scammer could cheat and steal the money he deposited by contacting the exchange support, or the account could be restricted and the funds frozen for violating exchange policies and terms.
58  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to Make Money in Crypto and not lose it as beginner on: June 19, 2024, 09:55:00 PM
Honestly airdrop farming is the easiest way to make money in the space and the only thing to look out for is you not using the same airdrop wallet to keep any valuable assets, because there is no guranteee that your wallet will be safe after joining many airdrops[...]
Airdrops are currently a waste of time and may even require money to pay fees, and they are also not devoid of Risks. Even if a non-primary wallet is used, participants may end up having to get their airdrop tokens, and the project team might refuse to pay. It depends largely on luck, and the more experienced and knowledgeable an airdrop hunter is about the project they are participating in, the better their chances of making some free money and avoiding falling victim to scams.

Participating in escrowed bounties run by trusted BMs here may be an attractive way to make money without capital. Additionally, gaining skills in one of the most popular fields of freelancer work is better than all of the above. Still, it requires practice, professionalism, and a portfolio of previous work.

They can simply ask their kid on how he's doing and explain things to them, this is really why lack of knowledge or having a little of it is very dangerous.

I wouldn't even tell anyone to it how it goes until someone asks me willingly how investing goes into Bitcoin.
We must not gossip about investment matters and our sources of income in front of everyone. Our investments and gains must be confidential. If you tell someone about your profits and investments, he may target you for theft, envy you, or try to discourage you with negative comments resulting from his ignorance. Or if you are in one of the countries that ban Bitcoin, he may report you to the legal authorities. It is not the responsibility of every person to tell all members of his family about Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, but instead, choose one of the suitable people who have a curiosity for knowledge, a love of learning, an open mind, and who accept different opinions and who begins to ask questions.

Some parents might be close-minded and sterile in thought, or they may not be worthy or qualified for their children to disclose their private matters to them due to their old age and lack of experience, and misconceptions about this field, that it is a scam, unreal money, and a lot of nonsense and falsehoods as if their son were a Drug Dealer.

giving bad trust doesn't have to be that way, its no use to keep active and posting on this community since u have no trust
These negative trusts are just to warn other members not to deal with you due to the potential risk of significant financial loss. Your continued activity and posting here in the forum are only because your loan requests have failed, and I don't think anyone foolish enough would accept your requests. Therefore, I advise you to stop what you are doing, as you are wasting your time in vain. If you are looking for money, you must obtain it legally through your hard work and determination without scamming anyone.
