481  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Is Samsung blockchain wallet safe? on: December 21, 2023, 01:20:14 AM
No, that can't lead to loss because I have safely saved my private keys. Even if I lose my smartphone, I have Electrum wallet hidden, I have a very strong password on it and I believe I'm able to recover my wallet quickly once I get home. I even have plan B.
-snip-
I don't know if I am lucky or not but I have never had any problem.
It is always better to be safe than sorry. I'm not sure what your plan B is, but I feel like being very sure nothing bad can happen because you are never visiting a strange website is a terrible idea. I've been hearing so many stories related to how people lost money even though they use a HW, claiming they never store their seed phrase online, and so on. Heck, who knows maybe you're drunk and accidentally click on a phishing website one day. It is always better to assume the worst thing can happen to you. I believe you're lucky to some extent, which is extremely helpful if you plan on improving your security practices.
482  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Bitcoin mining’s comeback in China on: December 21, 2023, 12:50:45 AM
Bribery in China still makes it possible to bypass all legal prohibitions on mining.
So you're saying all those underground miners, including those reported above are bribing officials then? I don't know, sounds like not what small miners would do. I find it difficult to believe it is cost-effective for residential miners, or whatever groups are doing the mining activity over there. Is there any data that shows the cost and how much bribe is required to make it possible to mine 'legally'? Wouldn't it make more sense to just go underground instead of trying to bribe people, and risk getting an extra sentence if others found it?

Just to attract users that's all my intention
There are many ways to attract users though. Even if you aim to clickbait people I don't think using a similar name and suggesting you're related in one way or the other is a good idea. Surely your marketing department realizes that? This is my first time seeing a service using a clickbait this way.

Just take the suggestions from the members above. Change your name (at least make it distinct) or distance yourself from other services unless you want to get tagged as some impersonator.
484  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What exchanges still accept credit card option? on: December 20, 2023, 02:31:59 AM
Are you from around Europe by any chance? I've read some of your posts and it seems like you're around Europe where exchanges give you many options to pay for crypto, IIRC. What difficulties are you facing that make you unable to use your card? Maybe your bank is blocking it? I even see some web3 wallets add Moonpay support so you can just use a card to buy some altcoins with the obvious downside of a ridiculous processing fee.

It will be good news if De Bruyne can return to Man City. He has a very big role in Man City, missing him really brings a big impact to Man City performance. We can see that Man City got difficulty to maintain their performance without De Bruyne. I really expect that De Bruyne will help Man City to return to the race of the title in EPL standings.
A lot of pundits and stats that I read seem to suggest that Rodri is the key for Man City's defense, while de Bruyne is for creativity. I believe their weakness this season is not scoring goals, but protecting their leads[1]. I do agree that with De Bruyne in the team, they should be able to score more goals, but judging from their competitors I'd say their attack is quite OK for now. some might even argue that based on their stats alone, their defense is also not that terrible, considering that their expected goals are quite low and probably within the best 5 in the league as of now[2]. Obviously, stats don't tell everything. Let's see how they play if all of their key players are back.

486  Economy / Economics / Re: Are fast-fashion shopping apps hurting local economy? on: December 20, 2023, 01:54:24 AM
I've read news about how traditional stores or big shopping center, in general, is losing money due to e-commerce apps in my country. So yeah, some of them definitely hurt. On the other hand, nothing is stopping these sellers from opening their own store on the app too. The beginning is probably difficult since they need to compete with tons of other stores, but it is not like they won't find customers as long as their price is competitive. Most of the time, distance and shopping fee is the biggest factor why people choose one store over the other.

Personally, though, I never use Alibaba for fashion, etc since most of them require overseas shipping. I can easily find most of the stuff you tell me in my city, which is just a 30-minute trip at most. Not a bad trade for me, and even if I need to buy new shirts, I'd rather use other apps. What I tend to use them for is for electricity, like batteries and stuff like that. There is no option if nobody can provide me with the product that I need. It is always a gamble though, since what I bought might be a dead product on arrival too.
487  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [No KYC] Stealths is offering Prepaid Cards and Virtual Phone Numbers on: December 20, 2023, 01:46:21 AM
Hi, do you have any plans on adding more options to your virtual phone numbers? I've been looking for a Chinese number for months already, but it seems nobody can provide that. Those who claim can provide it, request a very expensive fee. Other services request my private information and I doubt its legitimacy in the end. I can understand the difficulties since every number must be registered with a Chinese ID, but what about countries like India or other countries in general? 
488  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: ragingbullslots.com on: December 20, 2023, 01:31:17 AM
(which I have won and I have cashed out on their site before, without any issues.)
He's never had an issue. But as of late, their wait time for customer support is astronomical, the help is little to nothing, etc.
I will most definitely check that site out because I am a member of a lot of different sites (Brango, Stake.us, Coins.game, BC, Luckybird, Luckyfish (exact same folks lol) just to list a few.)
Thank you for that recommendation! I appreciate it.
So you're saying that their 7-day withdrawal policy already existed before, and you continue using their service, or has it changed just recently? Why would you continue to use them if the former is true though? Do they give you tons of tournaments that outweigh the obvious cons? Most casinos that I've heard on this forum never had something like that before (7 days for approval, and then another 7 days after that). At most, it is just 24 24-hour withdrawal period, in which most of them process the withdrawal within hours or so. CMIIW.

From the way they responded to you, something bad is probably happening behind the scenes. Even if it is not, saying the manager is not available due to a meeting when urgent customer service is needed is just unprofessional.
489  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Selling All Cryptocurrency for Fiat and Earning Interest? on: December 19, 2023, 01:31:14 AM
If you have 5 million in the bank, you could put 2 million in the bank and earn 100k and that is more than enough to live off and do pretty much most things you want right?
Is it really as simple as that though? What about taxes? Can you report all of them easily? What about the inflation/deflation rate? While it is unlikely, the risk that the USD someday go bust is still there, isn't it? How would you protect your wealth then if all of them are just fiat, that has no underlying value at all? Might as well buy gold & Bitcoin imo. At the end of the day, risk management is your answer. Diversify your assets carefully. It sure sounds good when you can just live your life from bank interest, but you can also lose all of your wealth easily if you trust them (there are many examples related to how people get screwed up because they trust them too much).
490  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Stablecoins are killing payment systems on: December 19, 2023, 01:23:07 AM
The Bitcoin network also has problems with transaction costs. When Bitcoin was at 44,000 a few days ago, I paid 10-20 dollars per transaction and waited 30 minutes or more.
Decentralization is not always needed for a $300 payment. But the visa payment system is not currently available in all services, and USDT does not depend on sanctions.
Bitcoin price is not the biggest factor for transaction fees IIRC. I remember paying the same fee when we were at the peak of the '17 (or '21?) bullrun when BTC did not even touch $25k yet. Basically, iff the network is busy then you'll likely need to pay more. You're right that people who pay $300 for some services probably do not need decentralization, but at the same time, they don't have to use Bitcoin for that either. Choosing Bitcoin means you care about security and want to use something in which its supply is not controlled by a group of people, but can be verified and relatively fast at the same time. CMIIW.
491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to approach supporting a platform that now holds views contrary to your own on: December 19, 2023, 12:59:17 AM
I second the suggestion to contact them and try to clarify, or at least suggest they research further. But there is no guarantee that their beliefs will change if they already have a fixed assumption and just try to find supporting articles for their beliefs. If that were the case, I'd stop my donation and just read other topics as usual, albeit with an awareness that their opinion might also try to steer me in one way or another. Who knows, maybe they are anti-keto diet without you noticing anything and then suggest a sugar-heavy diet that is dangerous for your well-being in the end. Remember that it is easy to change the narrative in the media as long as somebody has enough money.

On the other hand, YouTube and similar platforms are popular nowadays. You can easily consume tons of opinions for free now. No need to force yourself to keep reading one source that doesn't respect your effort to clarify some of their bias.
492  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Bitcoin mining’s comeback in China on: December 19, 2023, 12:46:47 AM
Gagnon noted that mining is slowly returning to China as a way to recycle waste inputs, notably heat, for residential and office projects. This approach allows for reintroducing mining in China as a net social benefit, balancing business and political interests.
How can a company/business/social project do that if the ban is still effective? Is he saying that people are doing it illegally, or does the law never affect them, to begin with? I do know that underground mining is still going strong over there, based on some news that I read. I'm not sure what residential and office projects mean here, but it is hard to imagine that the government does not even bother to check their daily activities at all. It sounds cool if they found a way to mask the mining process with something else though.
493  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: What if ATH - ATH Portfolio Calculator on: December 19, 2023, 12:33:16 AM
But a percentage decrease from an ATH is relatable as people will want to know what percentage of losses they have incurred or will incure.
Are you assuming that everyone is buying at the ATH then? Because if that's the case, then the tool will be very limited. Besides, tools like portfolio monitoring are readily available if that's what they need. I'm pretty sure everyone is okay with inputting their wallet address, or if that's not fine for them they can manually add each token/coin easily.

I've given my suggestion above, and others also did it. However, It is kinda hard to suggest more features if OP doesn't even respond to suggestions. On the other hand, he probably just does this as a hobby and doesn't want to monetize it, in which case he can do whatever he wants to.
494  Local / Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian) / Re: Hardware Wallet on: December 18, 2023, 05:10:23 AM
Setelah mendiamkan Nano S ane selama beberapa bulan (mungkin tahunan), ane kena juga masalah layarnya yang sangat redup sampai susah buat dilihat. Untungnya udah ada backup jadi bisa kapan aja backup ke wallet lain, tapi ane penasaran apa ada user di sini yang mengalami hal yang sama dan mengakalinya tanpa mengganti layarnya? Ane pernah baca thread tentang mengganti layar Nano S ini sih, cuma kayaknya ga worth it juga mengingat reputasi Ledger dan keputusan mereka yang cenderung ga ramah privasi/keamanan.

Agan bisa cek di docs mereka, ada beberapa link komunitas yang dicantumin di sana[1]. Kalau ga bisa menghubungi juga bisa langsung kirim pesan ke support aja, siapa tahu bisa dibantu langsung nantinya. Walau kayaknya yang mengelola support itu bot sih, bukan CS (kecuali agan mau nunggu).

Patut dicoba jika ada situs promosi website ke depannya menggunakan fitur hyperlink agar tampilan website dan akun bitcointalk kita lebih menarik untuk dilihat.

Mungkin ada opsi campaign untuk fitur ini jauh lebih menarik lagi ya dan kita bisa mendapatkan tambahan pemasukan lagi selain dari hasil signature campaign  Grin.
Kalau tujuannya promosi, ane rasa signature dan avatar adalah tempat yang lebih pas gan. Kalau mau maksain bisa pake profile text. Orang jarang banget ngeklik profil seseorang untuk lihat detail info pribadi yang dishare, meskipun mereka itu mod atau staff sekalipun. Dulu ane pernah deal beberapa proyek yang mau promosi di forum pake shortlink di bio, tapi ga pernah bertahan lama karena dianggap exposurenya rendah.

Ane rasa upgrade yang bisa diterapkan adalah membuat profile text bisa diklik kalau yang dicantumin adalah sebuah link. Kalau ada risiko spam bisa aja dibuat yang bisa mengaktifkan fitur tersebut punya rank Jr member ke atas atau copper member. Cuma ane rasa ga bakal ada upgrade semacam ini. Tinggal nunggu saja apakah software forum baru yang lagi dibuat dan entah kapan selesai itu bakal ada fitur serupa atau tidak.

Sekedar tambahan info, vulnerarbility di atas ditemukan di connectkit versi 1.1.7 ke bawah. Kalau agan sering konek dengan berbagai dapps (terlepas wallet yang agan pakai), ada kemungkinan browser agan meng-cache versi tersebut. Sebelum berinteraksi dengan dapps agan harus clear cache lebih dulu supaya connectkit yang dipakai adalah versi yang paling baru. Udah ada beberapa korban yang menggunakan berbagai jenis wallet yang kena serangan tersebut karena lupa menghapus cache beberapa hari yang lalu. Be safe people.

Tapi saya ga paham sama sekali dengan github, dari beberapa link yang saya buka, isinya kayak foler-folder gitu doang jadisaya ga paham itu gimana cara baca atau cara kerjanya. Apakah saya juga perlu mempelajari tentang github mas untuk bisa mengetahui tentang bitcoin?
Gampangnya agan anggap saja folder-folder atau file yang ada adalah source code sebuah program gan. Jadi kalau agan mau build program, biasanya perlu meng-clone folder-folder tersebut lalu menjalankan script yang sudah disediakan oleh maintainernya (rata-rata sih begini). Hampir semua repository biasanya ada bagian release atau kalau ga file readme kok, jadi tidak perlu susah kalau mau tahu gimana cara menggunakan software atau file yang ada.

Kalau keperluan agan adalah untuk bisa menggunakan wallet Bitcoin, kirim/melakukan RBF/CPFP dan sejenisnya mungkin ga terlalu butuh. Paling agan hanya perlu belajar build sendiri kalau agan ga pengen download Electrum yang sudah jadi (atau software terkait lainnya). Itupun biasanya udah ada guidenya juga. CMIIW.
499  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ledger seem compromised again on: December 16, 2023, 11:04:13 AM
the CEO is claiming their doing everything under their power to actually maintain the issue from getting out of hand but it would be best for everyone that is using the wallet to actually lay off and stay on a low because it's better to play safe than be ignorant and suffer the cost.
The issue is related to their dapps software, not the HW itself as far as I understand it. Basically a lot of dapps use their connectkit to interact with web3 wallet and somebody managed to publish a fake version of it. While they've published the right version, people should at least their browser cache to ensure they don't cache the fake version. It doesn't matter whether you use Ledger HW or not, as long as your favorite dapps use Ledger's connectkit, you're at risk if you don't do that.

Ledger should improve how they educate their employees since all of this happens because of a phishing attack, which in theory should not be unfamiliar for people who work at a crypto company.

Our experience spans over 12 years in financial markets beyond cryptocurrency exchange services.
I think his point is that you should show us your portfolio. I don't think it is a problem if you list which companies you work for, what business you did in the past, and so on. Simply saying you have 10 years of experience tells nothing. In fact, scammers use that quite often to trick users. If you're serious about it, maybe you can be a little bit more open about your work history.
