I have been a holder of Chainlink for some time now and got in relativitly cheap around the 3 dollar mark, my question is being a Hodler and never taken profits on any of my holdings i am learning the hardway, i just wondered what peoples thoughts are on the Coin with regards to possible price in the next couple of months, or is it going to be ike most other altcoins and fall back to earth with a hard bang?

I'm more willing to bet on the latter... I just can't justify the current price of LINK. I think the entire DeFi movement is a massive bubble that is apparently still inflating. While LINK may come out from the aftermath better off than most other DeFi coins, I just don't know anyone who uses LINK for what it is supposed to be used for... As an investment its in the category of "extremely speculative" whereas BTC and ETH are only "highly speculative."

Here's the thing tho: so long as we remain in a relatively bullish market, "extremely speculative" projects will flourish. Its only during bearish contractions that really exposes which projects were 100% bullshit the whole time.

It's a pretty big payday for whoever got free UNI tokens, kind of like a massive airdrop to much of the ETH community (not me as I never used it). The price of UNI is currently at $4.11 according to CMC, up 776% in the last 24 hours. Not sure what UNI does yet but I'm sure we'll hear all about it pretty soon. At least they put out a working product already.

I was proud of pretty much everybody voting "no" in this poll. I thought there'd be a few more people out there that would vote "yes" but I guess the trolls and/or rats are taking the day off.

I notice you posted this on Reddit about 3 years ago but I read most of it:

Yes.

You seem like you truly believe you've found him with 99.9% certainty.
4124  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH's fees on "De-Fi" platforms are ridiculously high on: September 16, 2020, 10:11:48 PM
It's true that high fees would render a technology nobody is actually using to decentralize their finances even less valuable. I think most DeFiers shrug off the fact that their investments are 99% speculative (as opposed to the industry standard of 90-95%) as easily as they shrug off high gas fees being an impediment to adaption. They don't really care about actual usership; only keeping the hype going to lure in new people to sell to later.

Obviously being more expensive to transact than BTC is stifling for the entire network (not just DeFi), but if you are only trading high-risk, pump-n-dump tokens on an exchange then you never have to personally feel the effects of high gas fees, and it doesn't weigh into your assessment of the value of what you are trading. (which is already likely to be zero-value BS anyway)

Hope I did it right.

Code:
scam:HYIP
scam:high yield
scam:doubler
scam:MLM
scam:cloud mining


I noticed that the news-related tags get used far more often that the others... my suggestion would be to take off coindesk and cointelegraph, but leave on the ones that come across as desperate spammers, like coinidol. There's probably a lot of people posting coindesk links out of genuine interest and aren't advertising for them on purpose.

Dear Hhampuz,

I've decided to enroll in another signature campaign so I regretfully inform you of my exit from this campaign.

As always thanks for the opportunity to work with you, as you are an excellent manager.

Managed to watch 3 games this week... a lot to take in and adjust to given what will apparently be an ever-evolving "new normal." Interesting to see the disparity in what individual teams and stadiums are doing in the wake of covid. At the risk of it being a "super spreader" event, I kind of like what the Chiefs did by allowing about 1/4 capacity as genuine crowd noise beats the artificial stuff every day of the week. New Orleans went with the "white noise" approach whereas the Rams went with a sort of AI-inspired approach of adding real cheers, boos and even whistles from time to time.

The Rams' new stadium is beautiful, BTW. Apparently it was built on top of the Hollywood Park, an old racetrack which I went to as a handful of times when it was still open. The Rams' new jerseys... well I dunno, but they now wear the brightest variation of blue I've ever seen. Its like a deep, fluorescent blue that makes it impossible to concentrate on anything else. I even notice the players gloves now for what is possibly the first time ever. But, I was happy with Goff -- he was in top form, had some amazing passes. Think I'll be rooting for them this year.

As a passive Saints fan, it was weird to catch myself rooting for Tom Brady as a Buccaneer. He was beating himself up but he actually had a good game. Once he works out a few of the kinks with his receivers, I predict they'll be off to the races. Not a team to sleep on for the rest of the year.

Cam Newton sux, that is all.

True, but they did win...

Don't pay too much attention to this guy.

He's a banned Russian troll that has a history of roleplaying as community managers for different coins / exchanges / companies.

No doubt he will eventually delete every comment in this thread with which he does not agree, as that is his signature move. He only opens moderated threads which he uses to stir conversation that he later deletes. His primary goal is to cause as much disruption on the forum as possible. I doubt he owns a single BSV.

has nothing to do with us, check your computer for viruses

Also detected by VirusTotal:

Trojan-PSW programs are designed to steal user account information such as logins and passwords from infected computers. PSW is an acronym of Password Stealing Ware.

When launched, a PSW Trojan searches system files which store a range of confidential data or the registry. If such data is found, the Trojan sends it to its “master.” Email, FTP, the web (including data in a request), or other methods may be used to transit the stolen data.

Labeled as: Win64/CoinMiner.GG potentially unwanted 
Are you seriously ? haha

That's one of two items -- you've been avoiding addressing the second:

QuasarRAT.A

You also did not answer this member's question.
Humm. While the wallet was running I got.

Detected Backdoor:W32/QuasarRAT.A

This program provides remote access to the computer it is installed on.

Users\user\AppData\Roaming\odn.exe

Coincidence or shady wallet??

Hope you didn't pay too much for your account as it will be banned shortly.

Limiting the existing accounts - or better yet, banning them - would raise the cost of trolling.

At the very least email addresses should have to be verified in order to create an account.

I know theymos wants to keep the barrier to entry extremely low, but as of now its simply too low.

We're not going to risk driving away the "next satoshi" by requiring verification of the provided email address.

Also, the "no trolling" rule should probably be better enforced. If a user contributes nothing but disruption, that should be grounds for banning. We're not supposed to tag people for being trolls but at the same time the mods nearly never enforce this rule. Which means accounts should be tagged for being trolls until the rule is reasonably enforced.
4132  Other / Meta / Re: Report Malware and Suspicious Links here so Mods can take Action ! on: September 13, 2020, 08:55:14 PM
Please report the OP from this thread. The wallet linked in the GitHub for this project is virused.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5275064.msg55190416#msg55190416

The thread creator is trying to distract away from this by posting links to a wallet for a project that has nothing to do with theirs. Meanwhile the wallet linked in the OP contains a virus.
4133  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: ChainSaur - Virus detected on their Wallet + possible bumping service on: September 13, 2020, 08:43:31 AM
Good find. I verified the file in VirusTotal for myself and came up with the same thing you did.

I have tagged the OP and his 2 bumper accounts. Also reported to the mods. If I'm not mistaken the thread will probably be removed shortly.

If OP wants a refund and he can't wait that's fine for me.

OK well you should probably refund this user as you just offered.

If you weren't planning on pulling a scam, why did you delete your post from his thread?
4136  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Got Scammed by velomare on: September 13, 2020, 12:26:54 AM
I picked up on this guy's scamminess almost a week ago when he was fishing for merits in P&S. I should have tagged him then.

Sorry to interrupt your thread but wanted to give you (and everyone else) a heads up:

Send me a map location on discord: J.#2321

Whats the surface?

This is a scammer named Railai.

- velomare account registered after Railai exposed as a scammer
- both accounts are Romanian
- both accounts spell "prefer" as "preffer"
- both spell "nonsense" as "non sense"
- both spell "as well" as "aswell"
- both are involved with IDENA
- both have huge egos and try to make shady deals elsewhere

Don't bother interacting with this person as they will just try to scam you off-forum.

And what's "funny" is that last part is exactly what happened.

Honestly, you shouldn't be trying to buy Paxful accounts in the first place. But the moral of the story is don't trust random noobs online and use on-forum escrow only, especially when it comes to shady account sales deals.
4137  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scam or not? yearns.finance on: September 12, 2020, 11:48:32 PM
Definitely a scam.

This one is yearns.finance, plural

The "real" one (not that there's much real about it, or anything in DeFi) is yearn.finance

Unfortunately I fell for this SCAM. I came to read about this topic when it was late. He ran off with 3k BTC from me.

Can you leave a screenshot and telegram name?

Somebody just messaged you on telegram and not the forum I'm guessing.

Your first mistake was not making them contact you on forum.

Your second mistake was assuming Monbux was an active escrow and agreeing to "hire" him (actually it was his impostor) before reading his escrow thread.
