4401  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is it possible that somehow I will get criminals BTC with mixing? on: August 11, 2020, 06:55:08 AM
It is one of the "properties" (<I like to call it that) of using a mixer. It does what its name suggests. It mixes all the coins and then dispenses them back as if they were never different or coming from different sources. But correct me if you may.

That is the reason why many mixers have been targets of both the good and the bad people. Good in sense that authorities have tried to track down criminally acquired money from logs stored on mixers and use that. Those mixers were not actually secure since they did store the logs for longer periods, unlike the ones running successfully here. Bad in the sense that innocent people can end up getting tracked here too. However these are pretty remote possibilities but mixers shutting down has been a thing in the past.

A 10% discount is normally given to the investors. But a whooping 50% discount? Like begging people to buy their coin (<<make that scam) Roll Eyes

If the team is anonymous, they are not to be trusted. People may argue here just to make themselves look good that crypto is about anonymity, but they are using a biased statement here. Running a project that is publicly traded, they need to be known and legally approachable.

But we know how these "projects" end up dont we?
4403  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: 1xbit stole my winnings almost 1 year ago on: August 11, 2020, 06:44:03 AM
Some members are actually looking for one of the victims to create a type 2 or type 3 flag. I don't know if you would love to do it
I know this seems like an abuse of the power this forum would give its users since we have not heard of the other side of the story.

Hear me out: I do believe the OP to be a straight up person and that 1xbit is a scam site knowing their past history and reports of confiscations. However it would be better if the accused would put up some information as to what they are knowing.

Otherwise this becomes nothing but a kangaroo court which is what has happened to social media and ends up being smear campaigns.  Undecided

Again I respect what the OP has said and considering they took their time to describe properly in the opening post, they are true from their side unlike those random newbies crying "freebitcoin is a scam/primedice is a scam" thread that we see every few weeks in this section.
4404  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Support flags for scammers HotelSS And VoucherS alts of flagged Anonym1337x on: August 11, 2020, 06:38:17 AM
Both flags supported. I am on DT2 so you should post in LoyceV's thread to get more "opinions". Doing so always brings in more users who are willing to check these threads and give their vote.

Off forum selling sites are always used to scam. I hope you have learnt your lesson there. We have some trusted users selling codes and stuff try dealing with them and not some newbie on the blocks. Embarrassed

Also do not trust anyone who says that they can refund you for a scam, that is a double scam. Reminds me of the "hack" of some cloud mining sites whose name I dont recall, but they came back as some regulatory agency saying they have info and asking for payment for the same. It was a nice trap to scam some more money out of those victims.
4405  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SEC looking for more tools to track crypto on: August 10, 2020, 11:36:49 AM
This could have a good side to it too. For example regulation in the stock market is the reason why pump and dump is not always possible to such an extent that it becomes a eye sore. This happens a lot in crypto - like every other day you can find 400% gains on a certain shitcoin that you never heard of.

Again the money laundering and criminal money hopping issues is also there which need to controlled. Of course the fear that people have that legitimate users are going to fall in trouble is less because the regulators know that legit users exist and thus they make their systems in such a manner that such users are not punished but criminals are detected. That way many scammers are hackers could be brought to punishment since crypto has become a safer haven for them than fiat.

IMO, this can be a new step in crypto if it is realized in the proper manner.

Another week when someone with <1000 tickets is a top 10 lottery winner. I've been spending RP on bonus tickets every week. The 1 ticket winner a few months ago gives me even more motivation. Fingers crossed!
Well I think you should stop looking at the winners chart every week.

I can guarantee you that it will a long time before you actually win because the chances of gathering the correct number of tickets is low and also because your brain is having that obsession that you can win the next one. This thing makes you want to play more and more, as long as you have control over it you will be fine. But dont let that thought control you because if it does then it is a thought that generates frustration and gradually hopelessness.

The 1ticket lottery winner was a very lucky one. I would say even luckier than the 200$ faucet roll winners. Cool
4407  Local / India / Re: Can increase in Gold's volatility benefit bitcoin ? on: August 10, 2020, 11:25:28 AM
To claim that BTC will drive to Zero is an overkill,  but I think gold give more confidence however an interesting observation has come up.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-05/older-investors-go-for-gold-younger-ones-bitcoin-jpmorgan-says

These are biased statements which have been debunked long back. It is their personal choice to invest and I can see a lot of the older generation who are almost ready to enter the three digit age figure willing to take part in ICOs and thus get scammed of their money. Majority of ICO telegram groups are filled with them and the number of younger users there is again comparable.

You have to understand that human beings have to work to get a living and thus the concept of investing comes to them at a lot older age when they sit down to look back at their life. So eventually the newer methods of keeping money is shown to them and thus they take part in them, not knowing to apply discretion.

JPM has his own propaganda as well. They are investing in bitcoin too. Bottomline is that you cannot trust the words of any human when it comes to investment. You have to trust yourself.
4408  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Why can exchanges freeze account. on: August 10, 2020, 11:21:06 AM
The problem with freezing funds is that some people are prone to not giving KYC or similar stuff, privacy reasons and so on. hitbtc is a exchange that doesn't require KYC up front, but if you're withdrawing large amounts of money you're likely to be asked for KYC, and you can't withdraw until you fulfil it. A good way to not get frozen funds is to fill KYC and just follow whatever support responds, people ignore support responses sometimes lol.
They have a 1BTC cap for withdrawals on non-KYC accounts as per what they have written on their "Verification" page.

As long as you are a small cap trader or a bounty hunter is attempting to sell their tokens you should not have any problem but if you are looking for some serious trading and having a bigger daily volume to trade with then it is not for you. For that go for a exchange which is having some better customer support and less withdrawal fees than Hitbtc and also where you get yourself verified first and link your bank account.

Obviously this is not possible for countries where bitcoin is banned. Grin

Incredible, I still really want to return to the Roobet gang in the future. Cheesy
Its great to be able to survive a long term campaign. Congratulation to all the participant who have survived the 20 week so far.
My fellow bitcointalk member, dont take the campaigns as something of a competition where you need to work hard to survive. That kills the essence of these campaigns. Take it as a fun filled challange where you post at your leisure and then you get some appreciation for that. Same can be applied achieving merits on your posts.

So keep it simple and dont burden your mind by overthinking. Wink

Everything is time-consuming, but at least no money's spent on them.
You are paying the electricity and the internet usage. Roll Eyes

Quote
All it takes is just less than 10 seconds to attend to the faucet and I'm off doing something else Grin
In terms of the amount spent on electricity and internet I think it is not a bad choice though. Giving some time per day to make some rolls be it less than 6 per day should be good. You might end up winning something big, who knows, fact is that your efforts were very low in requirement. But as long as you dont let that become the only thought in your mind you should be fine.
4411  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Why Huobi is the most secure Exchange? on: August 09, 2020, 08:58:29 AM
There is a lot speculation regarding the HPT token for being a ponzi scheme.

The OP is doing nothing but shilling the exchange and the title does not match with the thread text. OP did not talk about who Huobi is securing stuff but rather some generic blabbering about the exchange.

Very likely the OP is not associated with Huobi. As per their post history, they shill Huobi very often.

The above link posted there might end up getting edited very soon to some scam site. It is a common tactic of spammers to edit the links into the text after the thread getting some replies in. So that the thread stays in the SEO and in the forum but linking it to a scam. Roll Eyes
4412  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: 1000 Fake User Registrations in Bounty Campaigns on: August 08, 2020, 12:15:53 PM
While searching the Web I found a couple of my clones, which were registered in bounty campaigns.
For reference: The "Veleor" profiles in the Google docs below are fake, I have not registered in these campaigns.
Social media addresses, Ethereum wallets, emails and other info indicated there don't apply to me.
Yeah this is not rare. I saw my twitter account which I had used for some bounties at one time to be used in some unknown users application form. But since there is no way to stop users from copying other users there is nothing that can be done about this.

Besides if the manager does not probe and check them then it is mismanagement from their part.

Imagine someone signing up on a twitter bounty with my twitter account as applied since it has 5k+ followers (shabby I know). There would not be anything posted on that account to complete the bounty at all because I am not using it to. So essentially they are getting into the campaign but not getting paid anything.

These little kids think that they can get away with anything. Roll Eyes
4413  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scam by user ses-store on: August 08, 2020, 12:12:29 PM
I mean the user has a Type1 Flag on his face and some negative feedback. Do you not even check anything before you trust someone with your money or do you think the trust system here is so broken that dirtbag scammers are going to go scot free after being know to be scamming?

If you are so careless about trades in this forum then nobody can help you.

BTW telegram messages are not considered as proper proof but only circumstantial or even less.
4414  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: What happened in the bounty program? on: August 08, 2020, 05:17:19 AM
How all scam?
Majority are, and then the numbers reach upto 99.99% we can easily say "all". Wink

Quote
Lol you should check bounty section there have been more good bounty and you can participate.
The word "good" is relative. We dont see bounties paying out millions of dollars to every participant. While that if happening would be called a "good" bounty by any hungry bounty hunter to someone else that might not be the case. Some users are so foolish even today that handing them out some tokens of zero value and false promises is going to fetch their trust and they will endlessly shill that project. Regardless of whether the project is a failure or a scam.

Quote
Legal or scam bounty it will depend on your own research so be careful when you wanna participate a bounty, like should follow project activity, IEO, Exchange, products, team profiles, and very impressed their partnership.
Nobody does that though. Majority of the hunters here are from low income countries and they dont bother to check the "Scam Accusations" section of this forum. Neither they do they want to learn how to detect scams. Roll Eyes

Also the point what I said in the first line, it ends up being a goose chase so they hunters try their luck on every bounty essentially spamming all of them and getting zero worthy tokens in return or worse, none at all. Undecided
4415  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Low listing fee on: August 08, 2020, 05:11:07 AM
Cheaper listing fees are always with DEXs and not CEXs. Like Binance has been known to ask for fees of the range of 4BTC and then when the backlash came from public they say they are giving it to charity.

Use the DEXs that the above users suggested. But also keep in mind that users always prefer ease of usage so ask your users who are using that token about their choice too. Like if you are from a team then ask in their social media groups.

This will prevent a backlash that happens with some specific fanbois of certain exchange asking the question "Why not "this exchange"?" Although not everyone can be made happy but you can at least do a survey to make sure everyone gets their chance in putting their vote.

In fact I prefer the old website because in my opinion it is light and not slow like the new website but I don't know if I think maybe it is more comfortable with the old site.
Give it some time. Changes to things that we are used to move us from out comfort zones and initially become difficult to take it but it grows on you with time. I have seen FJ since the days when the even older site was functional in pre-2016 era. The one after that was even better and the new one is another step.

Quote
A little problem with the new site even though it is connected to WIFI, it remains on my computer a little slow and sometimes logs out by itself when it is only a few minutes away but for me this is not a problem, the most important thing is that the old site is still used for the convenience of its users including me .
This happens with every user on the older site as well. Some specific time of inactivity automatically logs out the user. I am not very welll versed with it if it just happens with specific browsers on Private Browsing or to every browser.
4417  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Attention for bounty work on: August 07, 2020, 06:41:31 AM
You do something for free and then you start raging that the person whom you did it for should be expelled? Sounds logical? Roll Eyes

Its about time some of the bounty hunters understood that running after bounties is a waste of time now. If you want to get paid get a job or gain some skills and apply for jobs in real life.

Again merit sources are partial towards those who have been spamming the bounty sections. However we have many users who started as bounty hunters but became well known/well awarded with merits in the longer run. Why not strive to be someone like them?

Anger will not get you anywhere. But it is normal to be angry but this is a reminder that no payment that is worth enough money is ever promised for a project specially because the altcoin market is another pump and dump to larger scale and coin offering are non-legal securities - it is not even worth calling them securities at all.

You will not be getting any sympathy from other users here, rather more bashing that you should suck it up and move on. Sorry to say but it is true.
4418  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Coinbase deposit doesn't show up on: August 07, 2020, 04:47:40 AM
I guess you have nothing else to do but wait.

It reminds me of the waiting for transaction confirmation on other wallets in case you use a lower fee. Here it is the opposite side. Cheesy

But of course for coinbase this can be a sort of customer dissatisfaction issue. Not sure how they handle such cases by just telling them to "wait it out", but from the perspective of a person who is less knowledgeable for blockchain and transactions this can be a panic situation. Undecided

If sending money from Coinbase to Coinbase, it only takes a few minutes to complete.
Are the fees fixed for coinbase transactions? Because I use desktop wallets only. If this would be the case then I think it will help users tag the wallet addresses personally as "Username - CB wallet" or otherwise so it will save time and hassle.
4419  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: please help me {cry of help} on: August 07, 2020, 04:40:15 AM
For a second I thought you were in trouble, You really didnt need that though, there are users ready to help with info. Grin

You can trust some users on the forum to do paypal exchanges but yes it is at your own risk and I know that is sounds a circle back to square one in terms of fiat vs crypto but hey, your needs are having higher priority than some ideology.

Many ICO projects actually did set up bitcoin debit cards but they all had the same problem : users have to buy their services and get a card, give their KYC and use it. Gradually they have lost importance.

It is better to verify yourself and check with your bank so you can sell your bitcoins on exchange and use that to fill up your bank balance and use that.
4420  Other / Archival / Re: I am developing and designing an exchange and looking for some suggestions! on: August 07, 2020, 04:35:06 AM
A "faucet" for trial like play money is good enough but gets medium importance to me. Some users who are developing bots and trying to run homebrewen strategies might like it. Did you get that name from the faucet dispense of crypto-games? Cheesy

The UI looks good but just an image will not do, lets hope that the beta version will be made available for testing out in near future.

What are the deposit/withdraw options available? Are you going to register yourself as a business somewhere? It is a DEX I assume for now.

Seems minimalistic - which is not a bad thing. But some traders like to have all sorts of indicators in one place so you might face some backlash from them, might want to keep some room for that.

Overall I think it looks good but trying out the real thing would bring out more suggestions from users.
