Someone already posted it in the Scam Accusations board, [Scam]: Fake Atomic wallet thru Google Ads.
4522  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Scam]: Fake Atomic wallet thru Google Ads on: September 07, 2020, 03:31:12 PM
Also reported to Google as well, so let's hope that it will be taken down.
Hey there. Nice catch! Anyways, any reference you could point out in which if I saw some scam sites/links? Whether it's advertised in Google or not, what to do? As you said, you already reported it. Like what are the steps and needed information to make it a successful one? I'm going to try it if I found some malicious websites possible for scamming and report it here as well.

I don't think there's no secret though, earlier I tried to used the term "Exodus Wallet", and I saw one phishing site, similar to what the OP find. Unfortunately, I didn't archived it or take a screenshot.

Code:
https://exodus.cm/
https://exodus.sg/

@aioc - I agree with you, but these criminals are really good at hiding their intentions when they avail of this so called Google Ads, they can camouflage and cloak it during application, that's why Google can't detect it right away. So we need to be very vigilant and report it to them if we find phishing sites.

Maybe a scam / stolen goods sale after all.

I think that's the correct sentence Jimako... Wink

And it doesn't make sense though, official Nike stores all over the world are doing sales 10% to as high as 50% off. So why would I try someone here, specially a newbies, plus the shipping fees are going to be very high.

So thanks but no thanks, everyone shouldn't be caught by this so called sales or price-off. So can get better deal in your local Nike stores.

De Minaur vs Khachanov is going on  Minaur won first set very easily and I was expecting this is going to be good for him but suddenly in second set he lost his touch and now Khachanov is leading by 5 - 0 have no idea what wrong happen with him badly down hopefully fight back.
After down in the second and third sets, De Minaur finally won in the fourth set and also the fifth set.

Good comeback from Alex, he will now be facing Pospisil next, who upset Bautista Agut.

Good to see Serena defated Sloane Stephens and advance to the fourth round, at his age now She still plays well, She will be a formidable opponent for the favorites of other champions like N. Osaka.

Stephens Sloane is touted to be the 'heir' apparent to Serena when she won this tournament in 2017. But it seems Stephens has lost her touch. Yes, good to see Serena still chasing another US Open even at her age.

There's another controversies, some players are getting quarantine specially those who are in contact with Paire. Some of those players are still in the hunt for a title, singles/doubles, but organiser excluded them in fear of a spread so those players really felt bad about it.

It's a done deal for Mark's pet project, government around the world are totally against it, not because they are against crypto, but they don't want to give Mark and Facebook too much power. So the idea was scraped for now and if ever they are going to come back, they need to reinvent themselves.

However, I doubt that nations specially in EU will pre-approved it, I mean even US is afraid of it, so it's a failed project itself and there's no hope that Libra will comeback anytime soon. This is the perfect time actually because people are into crypto as we are in a bull run, sadly they can't take a piece of the big pie right now.
4526  Economy / Economics / Re: Our chance to reset on: September 06, 2020, 01:12:04 PM
I think in every worst situation, humans has this ability to find a way to turn it into positive, just like the WW2. Millions lost their lives, directly or indirectly and we should say that it was also a reset. But still the horrors are feel even after more than half a century now.

So with this pandemic, many died as well, lost our jobs, our businesses and everything, so we really couldn't say it's a blessing, perhaps it let families closer to together because of the lockdown. But if you don't have money to bring food in the table, then there's nothing positive about it. And now with the looming crisis in the horizon, it's either we adopt in order to survived.

Hi there

I would like to ask the people who joined this community in its first years. What tip you could give new members who just got into crypto

Better to look around and explore this community first, read and take down notes. There will be a lot of information overload, but that's good though, at least you will learn how to filter all this information to your advantage.

Others have mentioned a lot already, but it will be a continuous journey, specially if you chooses to become a full time trader. So it might take years for you to learn but there are no shortcuts, you have to work really hard to reach your goals.
4528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Card counting in black jack on: September 05, 2020, 11:11:15 PM
There are many articles on this topic, just read about the evolution of blackjack. All changes in the rules for shuffling the deck and the number of decks occurred precisely because of the people who learned how to count cards.

Yes, but having more deck of cards in a shoe as a way to counter these card counters means less revenue for casinos as it will result in less hands.

I don't know any gamblers who are a card counter, perhaps this is just a niche and only a handful remains in this business because casinos has also evolved on how to catch them. Not illegal per se, but you can land in jail, specially if you have been forewarned already and then you return to play, that is trespassing as casino is a privacy property per law.
4529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: September 05, 2020, 01:15:36 PM
So far a lot of the top seeds in the Men's draw are doing well, I was happy to see Alex de Minaur win in straight sets as I am a big fan of his. Stefanos Tsitsipas is coming up soon, I'll be watching him closely as I did bet on him to win the US Open @10 odds as Djokovic was too short for my liking even though he will be tough to beat.


Sorry mate, Stefanos Tsitsipas just lost today. But I would tend to agree that the Djokovic odds is not worth it. However, the following could be a good and attractive odds to bet in sportbet.io

(a) Medvedev @ 6.42
(b) Thiem @8.79
(c) Zverev @14.56

De Minaur vs Khachanov will be interesting, I think Khachanov will have this one.
Shapolalov vs Goffin is another good match to wait for, and so is Thiem vs Cilic.
4530  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: US file a lawsuit to recover funds from a hack by North Korea on: September 05, 2020, 12:16:13 PM
@slaman29. Also, if the hackers used Monero, the department of justice might not report it because there would certainly be nothing to report. It would be a free advertisment for Monero if they include it hehehehe.

And Monero is not viable for hackers or criminals though, as some top exchanges are delisting it as far as I know since 2018 because of government pressures. So criminals still will love to used bitcoin, mix it up and think that they are not going to get caught by blockchain analysis.

Monero are just being used as second tier coins for criminals, like crypto jacking or crypto mining.
4531  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Swiss Canton Zug to Accept Taxes in Bitcoin, Ether From Next Year on: September 05, 2020, 11:50:01 AM
Well, at the very least this is a sort of a statement that goes like "Bitcoin is not just a criminal or a pedophile's money but one which is legally accepted." This is a nice way of acknowledging Bitcoin, of recognizing its viability.

At least for those who really understand what bitcoin is, specially liberal nations such as Switzerland, this is really recognition as what crypto can be, without the negativity surrounding it.

However, I would imagine that paying taxes in BTC or ETH would be highly like trading's 'buy low sell high.' I'm inclined to think that tax paying in BTC and ETH would be like 'pay in crypto when high and avoid when low.'

If given the options, then it is better to pay with fiat I guess, and just preserved your bitcoin or ethereum for the long haul. But then again, others could argue that crypto is another form of money, hence they can use it regardless if the price is high or low.
4532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Micah - Sept 26 on: September 05, 2020, 11:13:39 AM
Experienced and skills Casimero is the runaway winner here, if we are going to based and compared on how they fight, I noticed Micah is very slow and move like an amateur, they are both championship caliber but Casimero is a notch higher here, but Casimero should not take this fight for granted we have seen so many upsets in the past because the favourite is thinking of other fights, like what happened to Whyte where he was knocked out because his mind is on the winner of Fury Wilder fight.   

It's because Micah is a former Olympian, but it doesn't mean he is slow though and I wouldn't call it amateur. He has move to being a pro, so there's a lot of of difference, obviously. And they are fighting in bantamweight, and usually in lower weights fighters are very fast so I don't know where you get the idea that Micah is 'very slow'.

Well we don't like that to happen here, we want Casimero win, and this is just a get busy fight for him so I don't see him (hopefully) not being upset. But we will see. We're already in September and just in a couple of weeks we will see this fight happens.
4533  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Scam] Coinshares cloud mining on: September 04, 2020, 12:40:17 PM
I noticed that so many scam programs like this are using name cheap domain registrar and web hosting to set up their program I think it's about time that Namecheap start restricting people from using their service to launch programs that are obviously meant to scam people, it's so easy to buy domain from Namecheap you can even buy a domain for $2 they also offer very cheap hosting, making them a perfect choice.

It's business sad to say, that's why what we can do is to report this kind of websites to Google and to Namecheap themselves so that it will be taken down right away. But then again scammers will register a new domain name, so it's going to be cyclical and a long battle for us crypto enthusiast.

Good catch by the OP, and I do hope that noobs are not going to fall for it because that is a too good to be true offer, so it doesn't really looks logical.
4534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Inoue vs. Moloney - October 31 on: September 04, 2020, 11:53:13 AM
This fight looks very exciting, but there's no available betting odds yet, not in my book yet, maybe other sportsbook have it, so please share guys. Any fight Inoue  is exciting because he will always go for the KO, with his high KO percentage, I think we will likely see another one to add in his record in this fight.

The fight is next month or at least 7 full weeks if I'm not mistaken, so there's no update for any sport bookies as of now.

He is the Monster and casual fans really knows that he has power in both hands that can knock out everyone. However, if the odds are not that attractive, personally, I will skip and wait for the awaited match between him and Casimero. That will be exciting to bet as there might not be a clear favourite.
4535  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What the heck is happening to bitcoin! on: September 04, 2020, 11:11:55 AM
These posts on bitcointalk and crypto twitter are proof that most of the people here are just in it for the money and are most likely over-leveraged.

*snip*

Not only that, what's worse is that they're only in it for the money(this itself I don't mind as people can also speculate with bitcoin in the long-term), and they're expecting to actually make money in the short term. Which as we know, betting short term on bitcoin is pretty much a gamble.

Or expect that the price will simply go on a parabolic rise, which is not gonna happen, specially given how bitcoin's market price is unstable.

Yes, twitter exploded when the price goes down, others say its doom, most panic (specially newbies, or those who enter thinking that they can make money is short term). If the OP is really a long term holder, meaning he has seen the ups and downs, there should be no concern at all, crypto market is slowly bouncing back now and in the next 3 days we should be in the green again.
4536  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is predictably a guarantee in an uncertain world on: September 04, 2020, 10:55:03 AM

 It is often said that Bitcoin is a hedge against uncertainty. And that's it.

As compare to gold? Bitcoin hasn't been tested as a good hedge against uncertainty though. Hedge mean that an asset that can't easily affected or influence by the market. And we know that bitcoin is very unstable and be definition can't be a 'true hedge'. As compare to let's say gold, it's been tested, specially in ww2.

And btw, bitcoin is predictable? it became a speculative asset and obviously, it is not predictable. Have you seen the crash in the last 24-48 hours? totally unexpected.
4537  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who is the boss? on: September 03, 2020, 10:15:44 PM
#2 Investors obviously, because they are the one who brings money on the table to the projects. Without them, the project will not start its ball rolling. And without investors, there will be no #1,3,4,5.

So when the project succeeds, the first one to get more money is #2. However, in cases that the project failed, then they are the person who are going to lose more. This is not just for crypto market, even if you look at other tech companies of today, like Facebook or Google, those early investors gets the perk.
4538  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Bitcoin price are decreasing? on: September 03, 2020, 09:49:14 PM
I am thinking why Bitcoin price are going down? Is Bitcoin Bull run is finished? I want to buy Bitcoin, so is it the right time to buy Bitcoin or I will wait for a while.

I don't think that this bullrun is finished, technical indicators shows that this is a likely scenario, $10,400 or $12,400. Really hard to give you financial advise because it's hard to see where the market is going.  But if you are into bitcoin for longer term, then this could be a good buy. Just remember that you can buy in small portions and then observe how the market moves. If still goes down, then continue to accumulate as many as you can.

I don't consider this a dump though, perhaps miners are just taking profits, Bitcoin price may spark ‘war of miners’ — 1-day pool outflows hit $18M.
4539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Micah - Sept 26 on: September 03, 2020, 01:08:46 PM
Not really exciting to see, most of us are waiting for Casimero and Inoue bout.

Yeah, we thought that at least Casimero and Inoue will make it before the end of the year.

But anyway, you can't underestimate olympian boxer but not a champion. Fighting with this opponent is also a good fight for Casimero but not good as with Inoue, his performance does not really impress everyone.

He shouldn't underestimate his opponent because it has also a good boxing record. But we all know what Casimero is made for, he has so much experience under his belt that not even a former Olympian can win against him. Let's do hope that they hurdle their respective opponents and then promoters set them up in a much awaited unification fight next year.
4540  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: YFI and YFII on: September 01, 2020, 07:42:43 PM
YFII is the China version of YFI, it seems China miss out on the recent DEFI boom and they are trying to build their own community. Both will surely survive remember how NEO was marketed as the China Ethereum. The thing here is that YFI has a very strong founder and it is helping the price to keep souring

Yes, I think China wanted to join the bandwagon, or at least some some Chinese wealthy personality because the whole Defi thing really took off and we have seen it even higher than bitcoin. And then could justify this, I mean we all know how they hate bitcoin and even putting it below their list of coins.

NEO was touted to be the next Ethereum since 2017, but we haven't seen that it didn't took off as expected. The supply of YFI is what makes it very attractive for more traders and it really bring the hype on altcoin market in the last couple of months now.
