I mean they are hacking million dollar corporations, They have to be smart enough to cover their tracks, as it usually requires social engineering too. I mean a quick google search reveals the true nature of bitcoin. I just can't swallow the fact that these smart hackers are really that dumb.


But stupid people mostly don't code or have the resources to socially engineer their attacks. You can't compare Drug Dealers with Hackers, they both lie on opposite sides of the spectrum.

@LeGaulois Just like @1Referee mentioned, It ain't 2013 anymore. A quick google search can reveal how to get hands on any currency. There are tons of tutorials out there who even a 10-year-old can follow.

I doubt this will demotivate the hackers. I mean it was an email server which they got hold of nothing which could have been a national threat. 6.7$ million dollars was a stupendous amount to ask iyam. They weren't really smart about their act. Also, I don't get this, why do these hackers want to get paid in BTC. I mean it isn't truly anonymous, it can be tracked. Why not ask for the ransom in something like monero for total anonymity? I mean they are smart enough to hack these corporations but they aren't smart enough to use a totally anonymous currency...  

I get a feeling from these hacks that they all are false flag designed to give bad press to bitcoin.

bump

Bump!

My bad... Thanks for pointing out

Got the payment, But I am a bit confused. The Thread states that its 0.0006 BTC per post and a max amount of 0.015 BTC per week. But we all got 0.01 BTC. Did I miss something?

Lol, I was thinking the other day that Twitter should introduce 2FA for at least blue badge users. Like for every tweet the app sends a message to the user which it automatically verifies before posting. There won't be any inconveniences for the users as the verification will be automated plus it will help in cases where these celebrities get hacked. Whatsapp does it for verifying your cell number, I am sure Twitter can come up with a similar feature.

@harlot I get what you are trying to say. Most white people get away from crimes by getting labelled as "Unstable" but then again any person trying to take the law in his own hands isn't sane either. We live in a society where there are means to tackle any situation through legal means, anybody who doesn't understand that clearly needs some catching up to do. I still find it hard to believe that people are living under rocks that they resort to violence instead of using the legal route.

Even if there is a petition for additional security measure I doubt they will budge. I mean its way easier to talk shit and ban something instead of improving your platform. 

Lmao... I Guess I have got a lot of catching up to do. 


Lol, Would you like naming a few ?  P.S Lets not give em any ideas...

Lol, Why do people like to take the law in their own hand? Even if they were denying him a password reset, the sane thing would have been to hire a lawyer... I mean its easier to book an appointment than looking for how to make bombs on google. But then again "We Live in a S O C I E T Y" 


Might? I mean is there any doubt remaining? He sent a bomb for crying out loud mate and you still aren't sure... Lol, Dafuk! He is Definitely Unstable iyam.

Just caught the highlights like an hour ago, Fakhar played a decent knock at run a ball. Should help him with his confidence issue. I hope he gets another 50 in the upcoming match, will surely help him get in form.

Lol, Neither would i. But I want these platforms to get the same heat as bitcoin does. Why do they target bitcoin whenever something goes wrong? I mean the recent ransomware attack. Bitcoin got only bad press from that while the hackers should have gotten the press. Maybe it's just me who wants to see some karma in action.

I mean anyone who isn't tech savvy doesn't mean they are a fool. These platforms often give bad press to the cryptos saying things, like they are scam/shady and users should stay away from them. Just look at how Facebook and Google banned crypto related ads. But when these Platforms are used to sell fake courses, we don't see an action from them banning all these fake gurus. It's their hypocrisy which I can't stand. I do agree with you on people being fool but not everyone is a tech savvy person. There should be measures which protect the users on their platform.


You can't compare the two. One is a shady email address, while other is a special badge from a supposedly trusted platform.

Good players can turn those good bowls into 1s and 2s. Pakistan always had an issue with their openers. They still aren't producing the batsmen who are able to convert good balls into 1s and 2s. The only player I have seen doing it effectively is Babar Azam and Sarfraz when he gets going. I like your suggestion of moving him down the order to use him as a pure striker but you guys already have Asif for that? I mean Pakistan needs more batsmen in its line up that's a no-brainer but I don't think Fakhar can do much down the order.

Lol so do the rest of 99% of batsmen, You can't turn Good balls into sixes or fours, Its a game for both batsmen and bowlers. Only those batsmen are successful which can capitalize on bad balls. I remember kholi went without a 50 in 12 matches in a row. But they gave him the confidence that he needed. Look how good he is performing. All i am saying is let the dude complete the series and then decide from there.

Facebook does it with AI, They have this no more than 20% text rule. But this doesn't immediately filter out any sort of hate/scam content. There are special keyword filtering as far as I know. If your description or the title match those keywords then the ad is manually reviewed by their team. If it comes clean the ad is automatically processed. Also with Twitter, they aren't exploiting the ads but rather their feature.


Exactly but No one wants to take the blame. Just look at how Facebook and Google handled the ICO ads. Instead of doing their job which would have been to validate the businesses they are working with, they just banned them altogether. But what I find hypocritical here is that They allow these fake gurus to sell these fake courses and make millions yet they haven't banned selling of courses on their platforms. I dunno why these platforms are so selective and anti-cryptos.

Should have or could have doesn't matter if it isn't your day you can't really do much iyam.


Nah he is got his "technique". I have seen him play. His timing is sweet. I believe its more of a confidence issue.


First, define "Good". Does getting a 50 off 80 balls in each match means the player is a good openner? Fakhar has got the brute force required at top of the order to get off to a good start, something which was sharjeel's role. I don't think Pakistan has a player right now who could replace fakhar. The problem with these style of players is that they will fail more often than the regular ones. You have got to be patient with them. I say, Let fakhar play this ODI series and decide afterwards.


I dunno how a single league can help em out. They should really work on their local talent. More local tournaments with bigger prizes would be a good start.

I think we have a different definition of collapse mate. That was some good bowling by Trent Boult to get Hafeez and Babar. I hardly blame them. "Fucker" was disappointing as usual, Pakistan should start thinking of alternatives. Poor fella has failed too many times at the top order now.


Lol, Doesn't surprise me xDD


And what do you suggest them? Playing against other top nations won't help their cause that will only demoralise them more. They need to focus on their local cricket Structure. Just like they copied other nations with PSL, they should start copying their local structure too. Only Good will come out for them iyam.

People have been moving away from the hard cash for almost a decade now, I totally see governments launching their own tokens in the near future, Imagine if we could bring back smaller denominations which aren't used today. How it will affect the pricing... A whole lot of possibilities open up when you think of it...


Agreed, But lets but honest here for a minute. If you are using a service like let's say Netflix a couple of times per year, chances are you won't be on a yearly subscription plan. You will probably subscribe in those months in which the need arises. If you say that you don't have the time to cancel the subscription then I doubt money is the issue here. If money was an issue here, you could have easily made the time to cancel your plans.


I know, The reason I am arguing against this is that LN was made for a very specific purpose which wasn't to introduce new forms of payment plans but rather to solve the issue of high fees associated with On-Chain Transactions. Bitcoin is already hard to grasp for an average joe, let's not overwhelm them with things which they aren't yet ready for.


First of all, I was talking from a sellers perspective. If a dude is living off on $2-$3 per day, He will most likely not have access to high-speed internet to enjoy a service like Netflix or Spotify. Hence why plans like ppm aren't as attractive. These services are more for western audiences than eastern. That's why let's say paying for a $10 subscription with 1 penny in fees makes sense. That's a real use case of LN.
