I do not think we will see a drop in forum activity even though the mixer campaigns ended.  We still got other signature campaigns going, some with even higher post quotas that just started like Bitvest and Eleoncoin.  As far as mixer campaigns, I am sure some other kind of services will pop up to take their place.  Maybe well see more exchanges advertised on the forum, or who knows maybe some new type of service altogether.  I am hopeful we will continue to see all kinds of interesting things happening and some new services promoting on the forum.

Good for you! But you will still probably earn more by selling electricity back to a distributor and using the earnings to buy bitcoins. Depending on where you live and the price of electricity, of course.

You dont know how online marketing works?

There is a couple of ways sponsors make back the funds they put into those signature ad campaigns and  one way is to generate leads - they will make folks add a link back to the sponsor's site in their signature.  So that drives some extra traffic and gets more eyes on their products or services.   

Another way is just getting their name out there, for brand awareness.  Even if the folks seeing the signature ad every time someone posts never click through, that repetition plants the sponsors brand in their head.  Building awareness like that works well when sponsors are new or trying to break into a new space

A good GPU mining rig for around 3,000 GPB can pull decent hashrates on some coins.  Or you could grab an ASIC miner to focus efforts on just one crypto, maybe bitcoin.  But heads up - your actual profits depend on stuff like coin price, mining difficulty power costs and all that. and  It is not an automatic money printer.

Choose a coin that is profitable, has a good future, and is easy to mine.  Dont expect to get rich quick!

It didnt cross your mind that this could be someone involved with the campaign but just didnt wanna use his main account to talk about this touchy subject?  I feel like that makes a heck of a lot more sense than assuming some random guy decided to open a topic on something that dont really concern him.

Teaching kids about complicated stuff like Bitcoin can be tricky.  But making up fun stories and games is a sneaky way to get them interested.  Like maybe the kids could go on a Bitcoin treasure hunt and win coins for finishing little tasks along the way.  That makes it like an adventure instead of boring homework and  the point is to make the learning part feel like playtime.  Kids brains soak things up better when they are enjoying themselves.

I have some doubts about your claims.  As LoyceV mentioned, providing more proof like a signed address could help you be taken more seriously. 

But lets theorize for a sec.  This person who gave you the seed phrase or whatever - how can you be sure they aint the hacker who stole the money themselves?

I agree with this tip. Social media scams are becoming increasingly common, and it is good to be cautious about what you click on. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.


It is not always easy to tell which links are safe and which ones are malicious, so it is best to be cautious and avoid clicking on any links that you dont recognize. But I believe it is impossible to completely avoid clicking on links when actively using the internet.


This tip is more subjective. I understand the concern about malware and viruses, but I dont think it is realistic to expect people to never visit porn sites.


I agree with this tip. Only download apps from trusted sources, and before you install any app, make sure you read the reviews and check the permissions that the app is requesting.


Browser extensions can be a great way to add functionality to your browser, but they can also be a security risk. So basically the same as for apps, only install extensions from trusted sources, and make sure you read the reviews before installing any extension.


I disagree with this tip. It is important to keep your software up to date, as this can help to protect you from security vulnerabilities. Most reputable applications will issue patches and updates as soon as a security flaw appears. People often become victims of 0-day attacks precisely because they do not update their software in time.


In fact, it would be best not to use online wallets and exchanges at all, but if you have to, use them only for the amounts you need. Keep the rest in a cold wallet.


I agree. Using different email addresses for different wallets and exchanges can help to protect your privacy and security. If one of your email addresses is compromised, it will be more difficult for hackers to access your crypto holdings.


Yes. Using strong passwords is important for protecting your online accounts. Strong passwords should be long, complex, and include a variety of characters, such as uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.


It is not always practical to memorize all of your passwords, and writing them down is not always secure. A better option is to use a password manager. Of course, it is important to choose a secure password manager with good encryption.


I do not understand this tip. Yes, it is better not to use the same device for holding cryptocurrencies and daily activities. But that is not practical or feasible for everyone. Better advice is not to keep large amounts in an online wallet or exchange.

Bitcoin is decentralized digital currency that no government or central authority controls.  Makes it wicked hard for any suits to just shut it down entirely.  But they got ways to make it a pain for folks to use.  They could outlaw biznesses trading it for regular fiat or the other way around and  maybe even get ISPs to block Bitcoin traffic.  Like how some governments block internet services they do not like.  But Bitcoin would probly adapt if that happened.  So, even if governments were to take all of these steps, it is unlikely that they would be able to completely shut down Bitcoin.

Those Black Friday deals can for sure make folks wanna ditch some Bitcoin for fast cash.  Not gonna lie, I have totally been roped into some Black Friday stuff before that I wound up regretting.  Ended up never touching the thing - total waste of money.  But nah, I have never cashed out my bitcoin to snag deals.   

I get how it is tempting though.  Everyone likes saving a few bucks.  And when you see those crazy low prices you can justify in your head buying stuff you dont need.  But that Bitcoin could be worth a whole lot more down the road.  Probably smarter to hold onto it.  I am trying to be better about not giving in to the hype around sales holidays.  Cause most of the time, you dont save as much as they want you to think.  And even if you get a good deal, doesnt mean much if it is something you dont really need anyway.

I dont, but if you deal with centralized services and try to deposit "tainted" coins you might run into a bunch of issues. Unfortunately, thats the world we live in now.

Read a few posts before replying in the thread. It has already been confirmed that this was a hack and not a sender error.

Yes. Looks like this really was a hack job. 

Someone noticed another interesting detail - the transaction fee taken was precisely 60% of the total transferred.  So it seems some pre-programmed script was just waiting for any incoming deposits to automatically siphon off everything to another wallet.  Sure, the hacker made off with 55 BTC, but because of his stupidity he was left without a potentially much bigger loot.

A potential option is a multi-sig wallet, requiring agreement among multiple parties to access the funds.  For example, use a 3-of-5 setup - store one key with an attorney, another in a safe deposit box to pass to heirs and give one key now to your heirs with guidance on the wallet and and what to do with it.  Keep at least three keys with you for transactions as desired and  this scheme ensures no single party can independently control the assets, yet flexibility remains through holding a majority of keys.  Inheritors gain access per intent, but the lawyer and bank impart checks against misuse.  With thoughtful coordination, this approach balances usability for the original owner with responsible transfer of crypto to beneficiaries.

I did not know about the 2017 hack, but from what I have read about other previous hacks, I am not sure 2FA would help much in those cases. Sure, 2FA can provide an additional layer of security for users, but it is not foolproof.


I have no argument against that. There are many segments of this forum that I would personally like to see improved. And honestly, a mobile-friendly version should have been in the works ages ago.

Oh, and how would you label this?


Certainly not the kind of language one would deem suitable for a lady, is it?

Besides, I use the term as a synonym for "complaining", and it's a perfectly acceptable term where I come from. 

Yes, from the taxman's perspective, nothing much changes. But from an AML/CFT perspective, you are basically turning "dirty" money into a seemingly legitimate and clean financial transaction (revenue generated from a business activity).  Of course, its pure speculation that there is indeed some form of money laundering occurring here. It doesnt have to be the case at all.

I call this bullshit! Why does it matter if the account shows 'recently woken up' if you do not plan on using it anymore? And even if you do continue using it, that alone doesnt impact your reputation. Anyone can see from the post history that the account has been inactive for a long time. The same applies to changing the password. Also, why does waking up an account involve changing its password? Thats bullshit reasoning that has nothing to do with logic.



This is still unproven.


This is exactly the reason why this request of yours does not really make sense. What do you want DT members to tag your old account for, while also saying that reviving that account would be frowned upon by the community?

Why cant you just go with your old account? If you forgot your password, you can reset it using your email address, if you no longer have access to your email address, you can change it in your profile settings.

I would just like to add: Trading low-liquidity crypto pairs on low-volume exchanges can lead to some advantages and profit potential if you know the hazards.  Less competition and arbitrage opportunities tempt traders despite dangers like wide spreads and market manipulations by whales, and  so long as you grasp the risks...  Nevertheless, newbies best stick with high-volume coins on major platforms.

Well, it is true those folks with money in the bank likely can buy Bitcoin easier.  They got extra cash to toss around, not as many debts to pay, steady incomes - they can put extra cash into Bitcoin without sweating it too much.  For them its just extra.

But, you do not need to be rich to make bank. Even investing a small amount several years back could yield significant returns today.  There is no guarantee history will repeat itself down the road, but then again, whos to say it wont? I suppose only time will tell if throwing pocket change into bitcoin now might balloon into a nice little bundle 5, 10 years from now.
