4301  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: How do i get back bitcoins sent? on: September 27, 2020, 05:51:21 AM
Why do you all have to go with shady weed sites and end up losing your money? Get off that shit, I know you are not using it for medicinal purpose but for getting high. But you understand the fact that because bitcoin transactions are irreversible, unless the person who got the money actually returns it back, scammers use this to lure people into sending them money and stealing it.

It is plain and simple method to drain your money. You want to buy that shit and so you will not think twice before sending the money. Its a trap made to scam noobs just like the OP.

Anyway dont want to sound rude to someone who does not know much about crypto. But get this in your head, bitcoin and most altcoins transactions are irreversible. Once sent, its gone.

Congrats Jolly, I reached Legendary yesterday and today I see you reach Legendary. I guess that makes it special. Grin

Keep up the scam busting operations like you have done since a long time and take your time going through scam reports before doing the FlagNTag. The sound of the troll is just an indicator that you are doing a work that is having an impact and thus should boost you to do it more often.

BTW I moved by thread to Reputation, as per the mod's advice. Cool

Quoting this for reference.

So you managed to get a flight to Germany without any problem in this situation? Roll Eyes

Maybe you can start by showing us some pictures of the devices that you have for sale. Without any pictures the buyer will never know what they are getting and if that device really belonged to your farm or not.

And no stock pictures please. We all know how to get those.
4304  Economy / Economics / Re: DeFi vs. CeFi? on: September 26, 2020, 05:47:56 AM
At first there were only CeFi, what difference do they have with fiat based institutions anyway? Seem like a synonym for me minus the technicalities. They are financial companies and they are centralized. So 1+1 is 2 here.

DeFi was here before even knew it, projects like BitRefill were the pioneer of DeFi though some DeFibois will refute that I am wrong about it. Point is that these projects have been less known when the ICO trend was going up. The bad thing is that this sudden hype about DeFi in terms of stablecoins, lending pools and staking pools is bad for the investors. It is a bubble and the real DeFi projects never boomed that much.

I think it is way too early to call mixing of DeFi and CeFi. Lets see how legit these DeFi tokens end up to be first.
4305  Economy / Reputation / [Achivement] Finally I reached the Legendary rank! on: September 25, 2020, 11:50:51 AM
Dear forum members hope you are all doing well.

My thread of reaching self-made Senior member was back in October 24, 2019 posted her - [Achivement]Finally I am a self-made senior member! At that time I had earned a total of 250merits.

Approximately 11months after that I have earned a total of 500merits and since airdropped merits was already 500 when Merit system was introduced, I am now finally a forum Legendary ranked user.

How I want to put this is that, it feels good to reach this next achievement but I would also thank each and every one of the users who took their time to read my posts and merit them, even if only once.

Here are the merit stats as per BPIP:
https://bpip.org/smerit.aspx?to=TheUltraElite
Thanks to each and everyone for this achievement and specially to LoyceV and Coolcryptovator for bumping up my last hurdle of 34merits today  Each and everyone is special to me so I wont take any more names, lest they feel bad.) Smiley

Just like my last achievement thread, I will point out two more things in this regard to allow you all to remain hopeful to reaching higher ranks.

These are additional points, if you are lower ranked member here eager to earn your first merit, take a look at my older achievement thread, linked above and these points as well:

1. There will be dry days and dry week, (heck dry months too if you are unlucky)- dont let them despair you. Some months have been very generous with the amount of merit earned per month while some have been horrible. Its a continuous process.

2. Reiterate this (very important): "Dont chase after merits. Let them come to you" - JC

I actually got a bit emotional writing this, but yeah lets be hopeful and mark the next challenge which would be to reach 1.5k merits. Slowly but steadily. Wink

Thanks for reading till the end, take care and most importantly make sure to have fun while in the forum.

I've Merited and re-Merited some of TheUltraElite's posts. It's not my best selection, but from what I've seen he deserves to Rank up and I don't have time to read hundreds of posts now.

/just Merit source things Smiley
I hope I didnt make your job difficult there. Some of the posts were more than 1 year old. So thanks for searching them out.

Thanks for the bump up to Legendary. I will make a thread on it very soon in Meta Reputation too.  Tongue
4307  Other / Meta / Re: Why do everything security related gets posted in 'Beginners and guides'? on: September 25, 2020, 05:24:02 AM
Sure newbies are the target, problem is we never consider the fact that newbies who actually join the forum for discussing or developing a good rapport with other members are few only they are going to visit that section. 99% of them are new alts made to join the bounty spamming cesspool.

They are the ones who become careless and get phished more often than those who are careful about these things. Moreover a person who attempts to spam bounties all day to get paid is very likely coming from a lower income country, so they are more likely to carry an infected/malware-filled device, because of the habit of pirating OS, downloading shady emails and so on.

Still we always make people aware about things, never check if it reached the actual population who needed it. Smiley
4308  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Market Price on: September 25, 2020, 05:12:53 AM
On Binance, on trading page, if I buy alcoin using market price, will I get my altcoins right away like when I buy using card?
Buying at market price means you are agreeing to buy the asset at the price the market is currently settled at. This price changes every second and thus if you are in a hurry to buy because it suddenly dropped a lot crossing your buying point this would be choice.

Comparing to Limit orders, you use the money to start a limit order where the price will be of your choice and the order will remain active till cancelled. The Limit order become a Market order as soon as the target price is reached and is executed then as a Market order.

Quote
Or will still have to wait for certain trader to respond to me?
No, its called order matching. You dont have to worry about that, the exchange will do that for you. Just like you are trying to buy the asset, someone on that exchange is trying to sell it. So when the orders match either partially or fully they will be executed or if not, the program will wait.

I never bought anything thru trading. I have no experience buying from Binance trading.
I suggest you learn what is trading first before asking the questions.
4309  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What the future holds for bitcoin on: September 25, 2020, 05:07:59 AM
BTC is gradually gaining its grounds in the financial institute.
Which "financial institute" you talk about? It is wrong to consider any one so I believe you are referring to big banks in general. In that case, you are wrong. It has only hustled into the game till now.

Quote
Most people prefer using bitcoin as a medium of exchange.
Wrong. Fiat is way more in usage than bitcoin. What is the source of support for your statements? I have the counter argument statements though which were posted in this forum too.

Quote
Before the advent of bitcoin local and foreign currencies were the only means of financial transactions. Currently BTC has gone beyond bothers and has also made transactions safer and faster without much stress of converting from one currency to another.
Bitcoin is not just safe transactions. It is about the resistance to censorship and its decentralized concept that make it advantageous for common people to use without having to go through a middleman. Even then fiat is the bigger whale in the game. Bitcoin's usage is still in the single digit percentage.

Quote
From my own opinion its a better way of accumulating wealth and secure a perfect future of cashless policy
That type of thinking will only lead to frustration because comparing the time for which you live, probably bitcoin will not boom within it but take much longer. Hence it is better you buy and sell, keep the cycle going instead of stubbornly holding.
4310  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [WARNING] Streamies - Plagiarized Whitepaper on: September 24, 2020, 06:30:57 PM
This is become a common excuse by project "owners". They say they hired someone and someone whose even identity they cannot reveal. No idea if that user is even owning an account in this forum for cross checking. Of course I am not expecting that, but we cannot allow this excuse to be the reason to not FlagNTag. Wink

Copied whitepaper = 100% scam whatever be the excuse behind it.

OP, where is the flag? I will tag the account for now but we need the flag too. I will support it when I login tomorrow again.

BTW guys and gals, FlagNTag is the new thing in the forum. mmkay? Grin
4311  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Please check this project. (Swaphub) on: September 24, 2020, 06:46:19 AM
Very likely another of the "yield farming" DeFi tokens. Now this does not mean that the project is a scam. But this trend is currently hyped and many anonymous users are creating them and getting social media channels to get people to buy their tokens and take part in this "passive income" system.

The point is that the passive income has always been a gimmick since the ICO days when shitcoin used to be made promising 1% per day worth of income but that coin ended up being dumped heavily and then abandoned.

What I mean to say is that they may not directly scam you, but snowball the project long enough for them to make money and you to suffer holding their token.

If you took part in their bounty, I would suggest you to stop doing so. Move on from bounty hunting and take part in this forum's discussions, earn some merits on the way and join a decent paying signature campaign if you wish to.
4312  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [WARNING] Xfinance (DeFi) - Heavily Plagiarized Website on: September 24, 2020, 06:39:03 AM
Right now I am not tagging them nor supporting the flag.
Which flag?
 
The point is that these names of the domains are pretty similar and we are lacking information to confirm but suggest the fact that there are very well run by the same scammers.

While we are finding SiteNo1>copied to SiteNo2>copied to SiteNo3 - What we did is flagNTag SiteNo2 for copying from SiteNo1. But SiteNo1 is already a scam so that does not make it legitimate at all.

In other words, these sites are all scams. No idea where they got the original template from, but basing on the fact that neither ICOs nor DeFi tokens are legal securities, we can flagNtag all of them.
4313  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance Visa Cards Are Now Available in Europe on: September 24, 2020, 06:32:43 AM
Even though we seem to agree on the fact that these cards are only made to pump the price of BNB which has been sepculated to be a pump and dump a long time ago when it reached the two digit price range and continued upward, still people will use it and attempt to gather the rewards and use them. Just like people use a bank credit/debit card in any other country.

Bigger holders of BNB get bigger rewards. So the point is simple, just buy more and keep getting more, overconsumption to allow the owners to make more money. Cheesy
4314  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Some thoughts on cryptocurrency loans on: September 24, 2020, 06:25:46 AM
You seem to be quite close with Changelly btw.
OP seems to be an offtopic spammer for a long time and recently moved in the ontopic discussions. It could be a shill account which is 99% of the cases here and posting a thread only to never look back at it.

DeFi may have initiated a new hype but the concept of crypto lending is not new. In fact the first few waves of ICOs did have a bunch of Ethereum tokens that were associated with altcoin-pledging and using it as collateral for a bitcoin loan. Much like the services provided by the Sharks in the "Lending" section of this forum.

However tokens like SALT came to a stalemate(?), Nexo worked out it seems and partnered with many other sites like CMC and etherscan.

There is an analogy with fiat loans where you pledge a valuable to get a fiat loan. I dont see much difference apart from the subtle technicalities.

Why'd you removed browser mining?.
The presence of browser mining flags the site by many AV software and AdBlockers potentially reducing the traffic to the site drastically.

Thus it was removed after a short trial run a long time ago. Was it recently started again? I have not been keeping track but I would prefer it to remain turned off.

Quote
I mostly earn bitcoin with mining and you just remove it.
Do you own your own mining setup? The amount earned from browser mining is neligible though. If you want your device to run with ease and keep electricity bills within limits I would not recommend it. Meaning that the money you would be spending on allowing browser mining would be more than what you earn from it.

Quote
I request you bring back the mining feature so we can earn more. I use my mind coin in gambling, I am so disappointed after getting know it's removed
We are curious to know which altcoin is that? Roll Eyes
4316  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Expose] Initiative Q Another free money trap on: September 23, 2020, 05:37:50 AM
These HYIP/MLM schemes no longer come to this forum to generate buzz because they are getting tagged and now flagged well. No wonder they hired some shill accounts to post those old topics posted by the OP. I saw that the accounts have been inactive, one of them being back in July 2020.

As far as I can say, they wont be coming back with another account here so no use flagging or tagging those older accounts. They may very well be sold off site and nothing we can do about that.

4317  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Does uniswap really believe ? on: September 23, 2020, 05:30:17 AM
Thanks for your opinion. I’ve used Uniswap a lot of times and it was good experience. A lot of top tokens and coins from DeFi are listed on common exchanges so now I’m use Uniswap more rarely. Just for new tokens) sorry not I don’t heard about Sushiswap. Is Sushi token related to it?
I am not sure about it though. Maybe you can do some searching from your side to check the same. It is better to always check these things before spending any money buying it because this is crypto and anything can be a shady deal.

Sushiswap is another site like Uniswap. You have to use it to get a feel of difference if any. I have only heard of the names and seen the site once, never used them because I dont need to.

I am not really a fan of DeFi, I think it is the next bubble happening now but that bother me since DeFi has been here since years but it is hyped currently. Still that is my personal opinion.

Here is a list of Swap sites by zasad@ - Swaps list
4318  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Exchanges have cheap coin listing fees. on: September 23, 2020, 05:25:37 AM
Do you have any idea what Binance charges?
Not the exact numbers but its "a lot". Enough to get the attention of some news media sites to make articles on them and their CEO say that the money is going to charity.

Its not a blanket statement to make when big money launderers are caught red-handed and they claim the money to go to charity. We all know much truth is there to that. Moreover even if some of it went to charity the statement is true while the bigger booty ends up in their pockets. So they would not be lying.

However the OP does not seem to be interested in discussing the same, I believe they already got scammed by a newbie claiming to have inside contact with exchanges. Roll Eyes
4319  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How accurate is the fee estimation in Electrum? on: September 22, 2020, 09:50:40 AM
Recently I had used Electrum to send a 10$ transaction and cheaped out on the fee and had to wait for more than 24hours. I believe the fee estimation system in Electrum is not that good comparing with the mempool congestion.

The better alternative would be to use the online fee checking sites to decide what might be an optimum fee for the optimum speed of transaction and confirmation (subjectively). You dont want to make your friend on the other side wait for a day while you also dont want to waste too much fee on something that can receive the coins anytime you send them.

Another thing is that the concept of "accelerator" is something that I dont trust completely. Previously we had some illegitimate services in this forum who got busted for running such a scheme. They used to ask for tip and negative trust those who did not send them a fee. They did not even do anything in reality just used the ViaBTC accelerator (now defunct). I would like to see a legitimate accelerator service, if in reality something like that was even possible. Cheesy
4320  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency btc futures leverage trading is scam on: September 22, 2020, 09:44:34 AM
The OP seems to have some problem understanding basic risk management and other things related to sane thinking. Considering the -4 trust rating and the currently active flag I can very well understand why the OP is making a thread like this and reviving his own propaganda.

Any type of risk vs reward system has a risk and in leverage the risk is that the market might move in the opposite side and you might lost money to prevent liquidation of your positions. In Spot trading a similar thing happens. In gambling the House edge is there.

In short, you cannot survive without risk. The only day job you might be doing also carries some risk. Now if you feel that you are being scammed because you lost your money fair and square then your way of thinking is twisted and malicious. Blame yourself instead of the place you lost money.
