401  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinex hacked, $18M stolen? on: September 13, 2023, 08:24:00 AM
I see the amount but nothing else other than that. Was there more info yesterday, like how much of each assets they have etc? Somehow I can't remmember whether it was there last night when I checked their CMC profile.
-snip-

Yes. They had the list of assets as well as the addresses and the amounts on them yesterday.

So I just checked some of the addresses from the link you posted, and it looks like they were targeted:

https://etherscan.io/address/0x53eb3ea47643e87e8f25dd997a37b3b5260e7336#tokentxns



We can see here that funds were sent to the hacker's address, and then to what looks like Coinex address that still have funds (50M in Ether, and 20M in tokens) :

It's a PR bullshit of course in order to calm their users but I doubt that anyone is buying it, at least not those that bothered to check their numbers. I mean, their 24h trading volume is ~$30 million, "reserve" is ~$32 million while hackerd amount is in range of $18 to $27 million. Small amount my ass.

Am I the only one who can no longer see the reserves now?

https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/coinex/

Since this is "Reported directly by the exchange" as mentioned on CMC, I would imagine that the only reason the data is not showing is because CoinEX no longer wants it to show... and if that's the case, that's even more worrying.

Another way to do it would be to use uBlock Origin. It's an ad blocker but can help you with this as well. You can click on the avatar, right-click, and then simply hit "Block element".

If you want to bring the image back, just go to the extension settings -> My filters and remove the avatar url you blocked before.

405  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [Discussion] Bitcoin Spot ETFs on: September 12, 2023, 05:56:51 PM
So it looks like Franklin Templeton (1.5 Trillion dollar in assets under management) filed for a Bitcoin Spot ETF today[1].

Gary Gensler also had a hearing with the Senate today where Bitcoin ETFs were brought up. These were some of his statements:

Referring to a federal judge’s bombshell decision last month to side with Grayscale over the SEC, Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) asked Gensler what the body needs to see in a filing to approve a spot Bitcoin ETF.

Gensler told the Senate Banking Committee Tuesday that the SEC was “still reviewing that decision,” and added: “We have multiple filings around Bitcoin exchange-traded products, so it’s not just that one you mentioned, but it’s multiple others who we’re reviewing. I’m looking forward to the staff's recommendations.”

Gensler today reiterated that he thought the industry was a Wild West of noncompliance. “It’s a field which is rife with fraud, abuse, and misconduct,” he told lawmakers.

The exchange just issued an official statement about the matter[1]. According to them this is just a small "amount" of what their reserves have, and affected users will be compensated. Am I the only one who finds this a bit hard to believe? I mean looking at their trading volume and their "reported reserves"?[2]

1. If you use bitrefill, you can see it mentioned on the top whether the cards work on physical stores or just online.

2. I couldn't answer that. I haven't.

For the BTMs, I know there are some kyc free ones, just not sure if they are in the U.S. but you can check that information, along with the fees on:

408  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: alternative to coinomi (android) on: September 11, 2023, 02:11:22 PM
I just downloaded Unstoppable  and imported my coinomi seed.

It is Taking too long to sync (more than 10minutes and still 18%). I am not using Tor.

The wallet also has a heavy UI, too many useless tais like markets, news... I found how to hide some in the options.

Overall good wallet, but I think it could more simple and straightforward,  like electrum

Do you have thousands of transactions by any chance? and are you using ZEC (I know they have an issue with it syncing)? Otherwise, I know the syncing is a bit slow (maybe a minute or two compared to other wallets) and I have experienced it before, but 10 minutes and you're still at 18%?! That's way too much.

Using incognito mode can not lead to your Bitcointalk account to be logged out automatically, it only help people browsing history not to be recorded on the browser used.
-snip-

This is why I'm asking OP how this happened exactly. But if you browse using Incognito, close... and then close the whole window, and reopen it again, then you will have to type your credentials again.

I could be wrong, but the Session ID or token must be stored on the client's side so when the user deletes that data from the browser, he's asked to log in again.
410  Other / Meta / Re: Please I keep getting logged out of the forum from my browser and don't know why on: September 11, 2023, 09:02:06 AM
Are you using incognito mode? Are you clearing your cookies/cache and history from your browser? How does it happen exactly? You're just browsing the forum, and then you refresh to find yourself logged out?
411  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Help identifying old wallet by weird seed phrase on: September 10, 2023, 11:22:24 AM
2010? I'm afraid that whenever wallet you were using at the time, has already shutdown.

Blockchain.info did have their own seed phrase I believe, but wasn't that short and it was not even available back then.

Some of the projects you mentioned are either archived or haven't been updated for a long time. Not sure if it's a good idea to list them?

You may also want to check this topic[1]. It's a bit different than what you're listing all of the services listed do offer REST APIs.

413  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Using Instant Exchange on: September 10, 2023, 06:32:44 AM
Well, i want to use LTC. Other than government and the exchanges (exch.cx) themselves, other people can't trace it like you , me and other people only access to the public blockchain ? Please tell.

Yes, that's true. If that's what you're worried about then yes, other individuals are probably not going to be able to see much but then you should keep in mind that there are platforms like Arkham Intelligence that allow people to post bounties for this type of thing.
414  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Want to covert 7$ worth of BTC into XMR on: September 09, 2023, 07:44:52 PM
For that amount, I would probably go with instant exchanges[1] instead of CEXes. Not sure what the withdrawal fees are exactly, but unless you have an account already on one of them, it's probably not worth going through the registration and (possibly) verification processes.

I just tried a few: Changelly (couldn't because there is a minimum amount), ChangeNow, Simplswap, FixedFloat, and exch.cx[1]

exch seems to give the best rates: ~0.0489 XMR compared to ~0.041-0.044 that the other ones give.

415  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it possible to bridge BTC onchain to ETH ? on: September 09, 2023, 07:37:14 PM
Have you thought about using CEXes instead of Bridges? You could just deposit your BTC, and then on the withdrawal process, you can choose the network you want to withdraw your WBTC to. I obviously wouldn't recommend storing WBTC for the long term though.
416  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: alternative to coinomi (android) on: September 09, 2023, 06:40:52 PM
I also recommend Unstoppable. If you want something open source, that works for storing alts. Alternatively, and if you don't mind the wallets being closed source, Exodus might be a good choice. They have desktop, mobile apps and also an extension.

So another update: it looks like the CEO was sentenced to.... 11,000 years in jail. Yes, you read that right[1] (and so did his two siblings). The article didn't really mention anything about the stolen funds or the affected users.

418  Economy / Services / Re: Crypto to FIAT services on: September 08, 2023, 11:55:49 AM
If you're looking for debit cards similar to Wirex, then you can look into this list: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5280997.0

Alternatively, maybe you could just grab some popular cards like Wise or Revolut and do P2P trading on Binance, you will be saving on fees that way too. Binance doesn't have any escrow fees, and neither do the card providers I mentioned (not when dealing with someone who uses them anyway).
419  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: 0 balance after token swap on: September 08, 2023, 11:35:30 AM
Yeah, I know, it's very strange. I made two test purchases. One through Pancakeswap and one using KyberSwap but same result.
Thanks for looking into it!!!

Let's ignore whatever your wallet is displaying for a second. You said you used Pancakeswap and KyberSwap to buy the token, what happens if you try to sell it? Does one of these two exchanges display the funds to you? They should regardless of what your MetaMask is showing. If not, then it must be something related to the token itself.
420  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Is it possible to run the Electrum wallet offline in such a manner? on: September 06, 2023, 12:51:56 PM
Sure. There's nothing wrong with that. But instead of using a block explorer to constantly check the balance (which you might be receiving to different addresses) use the Master public key instead. Import it to Bluewallet in your mobile device, that way you can generate receiving addresses, and keep track of your balance.

If you also want to spend from that offline wallet, check this guide here: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.html
