461  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Poloniex support personel asking me to download their app on: November 08, 2023, 08:58:51 PM
After freezing my account and all the mumbo jambo they sent me email that says:

"Thank you for confirming that you have secured your email account.
 
We have sent you a new password via email and enabled access to your profile page so that you can confirm your identity. Please complete a very quick and simple verification using the Poloniex app for iOS or Android."
Alright, you can verify if the sender's email address from which you received this message belongs to the official email addresses of the Poloniex platform as shown in the attached image, or not.



Or you can simply ignore any links in this message and download the application from Google Play or the App Store.

I advise contacting their customer service, as they will provide you with the necessary and confirmed details through the online chat. By following their instructions, they can help you unfreeze your account.

UPDATE: Please check out this topic posted by @Rikafip today: Poloniex hacked, $100M+ stolen

463  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can NFTs last forever? on: November 07, 2023, 11:53:03 PM
I understand clearly the importance and concept of NFT in the Blockchain space but I believe it has been bastardised to a point. There seem to be no much value in the NFT space as people have abused the use of NFT.
There are also people who have real good value for their NFTs but the cluster of ingenuity and zero-value in that sector has strangled those who truly have purposes for NFT, this leaves me with a conclusion, I don't think NFT can last forever until it has some form of regulation.
I agree that if regulation is established for NFT projects and collections, this will create a good and secure environment for investors who prefer to own these NFTs. If standard conditions are applied to the creators of these NFTs, there will be a select few who will be able to showcase their collections on OpenSea and other NFT market platforms after meeting these conditions.

The NFT industry has recently witnessed many scam projects, especially meme coins projects, that have not offered any innovative or rare content for NFT collections, which could benefit their owners in the future. In addition, many other collections include NFT images with phishing links, deceiving investors into thinking they can stake these NFTs on this phishing site included in the NFT image they own. This field requires extensive research, but it does not mean that all projects are not good. Many projects have contributed to the growth of the NFT industry and utilized this new technology to keep up with their innovations and provide benefits to their communities without abusing the use of NFTs.
464  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you cope with those around you not believing in you for choosing Bitcoin? on: November 07, 2023, 10:43:30 PM
Pretty much self explanatory.  How do you do it?
Here is my way.  I mostly pushed away and pulled out of relationships with people who seem to stand against my beliefs.  Instead of convincing them I just moved on.  I found that a lot of those who do not believe in my choice of investment and think I will fail are the same people who never listen. 
This is the case with negative people who, even since the launch of Bitcoin, accused it of being a scam and false investment, blah blah blah,  when its prices were attractive, and it was a rare investment opportunity, which, if they had exploited it, they would have remained wealthy now. I consider these relationships toxic, and people who spread their discouragement and accuse everyone who invests in Bitcoin of failure. They are mostly ignorant and have not bothered to conduct thorough research. For example, What is the highest historical price of Bitcoin (ATH), and how does its current price compare to its price decades ago? How many investors and traders are there in Bitcoin up to now? What is its market cap? How many companies and major institutions have adopted it as a payment method? Among the world's wealthy, who has invested in it? There are many questions. If these people knew the answers, they would avoid these negative and frustrating thoughts that they give to those around them.

It is also advisable, as OP mentioned, not to disclose your investments to anyone, especially to ignorant someones with limited knowledge in this field or the amount of capital you have invested. Always benefit from positive events and news related to Bitcoin and from people who have been involved in this field for decades and have a strong knowledge and vision. They are the ones who will propel you forward without hindering your enthusiasm and ideas.
465  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Help us to remove Freewallet scam wallets from AppStore on: November 07, 2023, 08:26:36 PM
By the way, Freewallet app is absent in Google Play, but it's available in another Android app's market, Uptodown.
So that, we also ask people who use this appmarket to send abuses about Freewallet scam.
Yes, this is correct. Their application is not available on the Google Play Store. You can find their applications on Uptodown through this link: [HERE]. You can include this link in your topic above.

It is worth noting that most of the ratings and reviews for Freewallet applications appear to be fake. Therefore, it may be a good idea to leave a one-star rating and provide a brief warning about these applications. Suppose the administrators and the stores' teams do not respond to the reports of the removal of these apps from their stores. In that case, low ratings and negative reviews will serve as a preventive measure for many people unaware of the true nature of this scam wallet, which has caused many users to lose their funds.

467  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tricky situation for Altcoin investment on: November 06, 2023, 08:46:58 PM
I would just like to make everyone cautious about the current situation as it's a period which can make or break you based on your investment strategy. It's all about Altcoin investment and most of the newbie try their luck by investing into Altcoin whenever there are rumours of bull Run and the reason they prefer Altcoin over bitcoin is that they think Bitcoin is already priced higher and it would not get pumped multiple fold any further [..]
Please share your opinions on common mistake newbie makes when market trends upward.
Indeed, the common mistakes beginners make when the market is heading upward and even before it is heading upward are countless. The beginner’s mistaken thinking that Bitcoin will not be pumped several times makes him put a large portion of his capital in altcoins instead of Bitcoin. Although Bitcoin is the most profitable and secure cryptocurrency in the market, its value increases over time as its supply decreases. Secondly, greed and the dream of getting rich quickly drive them to put their funds in meme coins projects and altcoins that are not top in the market. These shitcoins often lack market value, are managed by unknown teams, and usually do not have use cases or innovative ideas or either listed on disreputable exchange platforms, Or they may invest in scam tokens. These mistakes result from insufficient research and following recommendations from other traders or individuals. The best approach is to diversify the investment in terms of the largest portion held in Bitcoin and the rest in the top altcoins in the market. Newbie investors should adhere to a specific strategy, hold their assets for the long term patiently, and strive to educate themselves and learn from the mistakes of other investors to achieve their goals and aspirations in the bull market.
468  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you rather make your investments in FIAT or CRYPTO? on: November 06, 2023, 07:02:21 PM
The crypto market has an high level of volatility, anyone who is about to make an investment need to have a good understanding of the volatile market. Now the question is even with the volatility will you still choose crypto over fiat when it comes to making investments?
To withstand this volatility and protect capital, any investor must have sufficient experience, risk management, and deal with technical and fundamental analyses to determine the correct time to buy and sell. Beginners who lack adequate experience and knowledge can keep fiat money until they gain enough experience and a good understanding of the market. Or that they initially invest an amount in Bitcoin that they can afford to lose, even if we assume $100, which is sufficient. There is no doubt that investing in cryptocurrencies, specifically Bitcoin, the most reliable currency on the market, is better than fiat money for many reasons, including the vast profits that any investor can reap in the long term. Even placing fiat money in banks or investing it in any business will be useless compared to Bitcoin returns, which have no limits and are significantly superior.
469  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fund for Bitcoin promotion on: November 06, 2023, 05:31:28 PM
Is there some group which collects funds for Bitcoin promotion? If some group like this can create advertisements for Bitcoin, more people can become aware. Such mediums should be targeted which have reach on audience that is still not familiar with crypto.
The age of Bitcoin until 2023 is 14 years. During the previous years, Bitcoin has been widely promoted by influencers, celebrities, entrepreneurs, companies, and everyone who is involved with modern technology. Bitcoin is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies worldwide, and it is the leading currency that dominates the market. Therefore, it can be said that Bitcoin already has wide popularity, and I do not think there is an educated audience that does not know about this currency yet. In addition, this forum and other popular blogs and sites already have many educational articles and detailed explanations about Bitcoin and everything related to it. Frankly, the idea of creating ads by any group for Bitcoin could include suspicious links or scams, so anyone who wants to understand the crypto field should only rely on trusted sources.

471  Economy / Reputation / Re: Darkfighter - A scammer who uses alt accounts. on: November 04, 2023, 07:44:35 PM
Sir please remove the  red trust from my Razib13 account, Sir forgive me for the last time, JollyGood sir please talk to nutildah sir and remove the red trust from my id.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
On what basis do you request forgiveness from these prominent members when you haven't returned the stolen funds yet, even after Nutildah offered you a good deal and a second chance? Moreover, you are still using multiple accounts for scam/cheat purposes. This account, Rasel29@#, on the forum, with the Telegram username @Raselkhan2963, has already joined the Telegram group @bptrades and requested BNB fees from members without providing anything! And if I'm not mistaken, this is also an alternative account for Darkfither and Mezu End. In what way do you also request fees from members after the scam behavior you've committed and methods of cheating that you used in the forum??!
472  Local / العربية (Arabic) / Re: كيف يمكن تغيير اسم المستخدم على منتدى Bitcointalk تا on: November 02, 2023, 03:20:24 PM
وعليكم السلام, حياك الله, شكراً لك على هذه المساهمة

نعم لا يهم تغير اسم المستخدم لأن في الأغلب هي أسماء مستعارة وبطبيعة الحال المشاركات البناءة والمساهمات في المنتدى هي الأهم من هذا كما ذكر اخينا الحبيب hg_away, وحقا دفع 50 بتكوين حل تعجيزي، فكيف يعقل أن أقوم بدفع كل هذا المبلغ لتغير الاسم، لو كان لدى هذا المبلغ لما بقيت في المنتدى أو في الكريبتو عموما  Cheesy Grin ، واعتقد أنهم توقفوا عن قبول التبرعات الآن...

الحل الآخر من خلال أدمن المنتدى وهناك فرصة ضئيلة جدا لكي يستجاب لطلب الشخص، يجب أن يكون هناك أسباب وجيهة ولا بد أن يكون عضوا قديماً ورتبته كبيرة ولديه الثقات الإيجابية فلقد قبل theymos بالفعل عدد ليس بالكبير من طلبات بعض الاعضاء حتى الآن.

والسبب من وجهه نظري هي لمنع الغش وإساءة الاستخدام الذي سوف يقوم به الكثير من الاعضاء اذا كانت هذه الميزة متوفرة، فيمكن لاحدهم الدخول لصفقة ثم الاحتيال من ثم يقوم بتغير اسمه وحذف مشاركاته وسيكون هناك جهد للإيقاع به.
473  Local / العربية (Arabic) / Re: منصة ببيناس الشريرة on: November 02, 2023, 02:38:55 PM
السلام عليكم اخوان

سمعت ان منصة باينانس جمدت ارصدة الاخوة الفلسطينين
وصادرت اموالهم

هذا شئ مخزي

اذا كيف لنا الوثوق ف النصات او ف العملات المشفرة بشكل عام

لماذا لا نقاطع باينانس كلنا كعرب؟؟؟؟!!
وعليكم السلام أخى,

نعم هذا ما حدث أخى حيث قامت منصة بينانس الرائدة فى سوق الكريبتو بالتعاون مع وزارة الدفاع والإستخبارات وشرطة الكيان المحتل لإستهداف حسابات الأخوة الفلسطينين نصرهم الله وتجميد اموالهم ونقلها لجيوب الكيان المحتل وإغلاق حساباتهم, بحجة أنهم يمولون ويدعمون حركة حماس, وهذا بالطبع كذب وإفتراء بسبب وجود الادلة لدى الكثير من المستخدمين الفلسطينين التى تفيد انهم قاموا بمعاملات شرعية لإيداع وإرسال الاموال.

لا يوجد ثقة فى منصات التبادل المركزية أخى بشكل عام وليس بينانس فقط فالهيئات التى تدير هذه المنصات هم من يتحكمون بأصولك وهناك مثل يقول:

"Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins"

لذلك المحافظ الباردة هى الحل الآمن لك فأنت المتحكم الوحيد باصولك وتفاصيل امان محفظتك كمحفظة Trezor او Ledger.

حدثت بالفعل مقاطعة فور قيام بينانس بهذا الفعل الجائز, وإستجاب عدد كبير من اليوتيوبرز والمؤثرين العرب لهذه المقاطعة, لكن ماذا حدث؟ لاشئ

Thank you all for your positive feedback, which means a lot to us. We hope that Bptrades will always meet your expectations.


NOTE #1:
--------------------
  • Transaction number #41 was successfully completed, and the seller @ZaraCB received a payment of $27 USDT to his Binance account. However, he showed unusual behavior once after the completion of the deal. [He changed the name of his account on Telegram, his photo, and his Telegram username from @zaracbh to @raya_two. After that, he left the deal group, re-joined, and left it again. Finally, he left the official Bptrades group.
475  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why do members switch campaigns always? on: November 02, 2023, 12:03:02 AM
What makes members move everytime? I need your contribution on this to make me understand it better.
If I were a campaign manager, I would be annoyed by these members whom I accept from among hundreds of other member applications. Then, they move from my campaign to other campaigns as soon after they are accepted or even without completing a single week of work. I know that it's their entire right, but instead of wasting the campaign manager's time, they could, from the beginning, choose a campaign whose rules, weekly posting requirements, and payment rates align with their preferences. As the previous members mentioned, and I agree, one of the reasons they move every time is because there is another campaign with higher payment rates than the one they are in. However, what if this campaign, which they moved to, ended quickly after the completion of its promotional period, and they were surprised that the campaign they left was long-term? Honestly, those who work in signature campaigns and have been accepted into one should consider it a work contract they must abide by and remain in for a reasonable period without constantly moving from one campaign to another every time... because this will prove that this member is not disciplined and does not deserve further consideration for his joining application for future campaigns or is not a good decision-maker and will cause annoyances for the campaign manager.
476  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Anyone been using Pyypl? It seems a potential virtual card can use crypto as wel on: November 01, 2023, 10:38:30 PM
Are you familiar with Pyypl? Though it does require KYC, it could use crypto to create a virtual master card and be used everywhere. Funds could be sent through a banking channel as well as in a legal way that considers remittance.

I am not promoting it exactly; I am just curious if you guys are familiar with it. Pyypl solved a couple of problems, especially about virtual cards and bringing money into bank accounts in a legal way. I have been using it for a while and have never faced any issues. But if you don't want to submit KYC, then avoid it.
I used it for about a year, and I obtained a virtual MasterCard without paying any fees. I passed KYC and made numerous deposits on Pyypl, and I subscribed to many services using my virtual card, like Telegram, Discord, and so on. I was withdrawing my remaining funds smoothly and quickly and with negligible fees. However, one day, I found that they had updated their KYC policy, and they froze my virtual card without prior notice, which contained some funds. They requested more documents and other complex verifications, but after contacting their support, they managed to unfreeze my virtual card, and I withdrew my funds... My virtual card has remained frozen until now because I haven't bothered to provide further documents for their new policy. But, honestly, what happened I found unprofessional on their part, and it made me delete their application and no longer use it again.
477  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Warning]: Scam/Phishing Tornado Cash Website on: November 01, 2023, 09:53:49 PM
Interestingly, the original owner of Tornado Cash was arrested, although his service was not designed to scam people. At the same time, his impersonators, whose sole intention is to scam, continue to operate and no one investigates them.
This information is essential for the scammers, and it presents a golden opportunity because they will naturally exploit the lack of awareness among many people about it and will try in various ways to spread phishing sites and target Tornado Cash clients who will think that the phishing site they encountered in Google ads or on social media is the official Tornado Cash website and that it has returned to operation. Once again, here comes the importance of doing adequate research.

I see that the mixers' sites are the ones that scammers set their eyes on because of the ease of impersonating them through their domains and making them close to the legitimate mixers. Therefore, people should add the legitimate domains of mixers or any other platforms they use daily to their browser bookmarks without clicking on any unfamiliar links they might stumble upon by chance.
478  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: WARNING - Phishing emails from the Bitcoin payment company Strike on: November 01, 2023, 08:24:53 PM
It's a bitcoin payment app. It's not that well known though. But I would agree that there are a lot of phishing lately on some major service providers related to crypto. And it was mostly to this kind of leaked from 3rd party.

And it's hard to trust this 3rd party with the kind of hacks that is happening right now. I mean they are being hired to take care of one job and that is to protect the identity of their clients. If they can't do that then who will?

This could be just one example though so in the next couple of months we will hear another phishing emails so everyone be careful on what we click and not trust anything without any verification.
Additionally, their own application on Google Play and the Apple Store serves thousands of customers in many countries worldwide who want to receive and send Bitcoin via the Lightning Network.

I do not know how the third-party vendor leaked the emails of Strike users and why they haven't provided any further details. Are they still investigating this matter? I hope they are truthful when they claim that there hasn't been any security breach. However, it might be the best solution for users to transfer their assets from the Strike app so things can be clarified in the coming days.

Thank you, OP, and I hope that there are no victims who lost their money in this scam operation. Everyone should be cautious and verify any message they receive, as they could be traps made by scammers.
479  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Vakfund.com - Ponzi scheme on: October 31, 2023, 10:24:48 PM
This type of fraud has existed for more than 100 years and will continue to exist in the future, since the desire to earn a lot and quickly cannot be eradicated from the human essence. So scammers do not invent anything new, but simply adapt it to today's realities.
The secret to the survival and continuation of these Ponzi schemes, from my point of view, is primarily the greed and naivety of investors who want to obtain unreasonable profits over short periods without adequate knowledge and research. All those who fell victim to this scheme imagined it as a treasure chest and viewed it from the outside as if it held a treasure based on the returns promised by the investment plans. However, after they opened this chest, it became clear that it was a trap, and they were wiped out.

I hope that investors will get rid of their greed and think things rationally before engaging in any investment. I will now support the flag and report this Ponzi to the domain's registrars. Thank you, OP.
480  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is this fascination with claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto? on: October 31, 2023, 08:39:37 PM
There are more who have claimed to be Satoshi but why? Why do they want to be Satoshi so bad they look stupid to the public with all their self proclamation. In fact there are so many dangers in being Satoshi because he would be the center of every backlash, investigations, arrest warrants, and what have you. And besides, it would make no difference because he, Satoshi technically would have no say on how the bitcoin network should or should not run based on the consensus. Which other faketoshis do you know? And have you ever taken any of them seriously?
I really felt mockery when I saw some of these people who claimed to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto. What's amusing is that they declared this not too long ago, just a few years back. Anyone can now claim to be the real Satoshi, to seek fame and be in the front headlines, and can also impersonate Satoshi's identity in order to deceive the cryptocurrency community of investors and traders and obtain hundreds and thousands of followers and crypto fans in a short period. But the most critical question is, what proof did they present to prove that they are the real Satoshi? The answer is nothing. By signing a message using Satoshi's official wallet address, this matter can be resolved.

Honestly, whoever takes these impersonators of Satoshi seriously is mainly a beginner who is not familiar with all the sufficient information about this matter, and it is easy for him to believe anyone who sees him.
