It was profitable in the past when the crypto market was immature and when there were a smaller number of traders.
Nowadays, traders rely on sophisticated bots to monitor different exchanges simultaneously and track price movements in order to spot those scarce opportunities. It is going to be hard to compete with them.

اعتقد ان عدد العقد الموجودة حاليا اكبر بكثير من من الرقم الذي ذكرته.
العدد الذي ذكرته هو الحد الادنى التي تم التاكد من وجودها. فتحديد رقم دقيق غير ممكن عمليا لعدة اسباب من اهمها ان اغلب العقد لا تسمح بقبول الاتصالات الواردة.

اختلف معك كذلك فيما يتعلق بالعقد في الدول العربي فالرقم هزيل جدا بصراحة لكن ربما يعود السبب في ذلك لان اغلب من  يديرون عقد يقومون بتنصيبها على سيرفرات يتم كراؤها من مزودين بالخارج (VPS)

اذا كان هناك من الاعضاء من لديه تجربة مع العقد اتمنى ان يشاركنا تجربته.

it's as risky as using web wallets. If it's hacked, the hacker can simply edit the address linked to your user id and replace it with his address.
Also, there are some privacy concerns. As far as I can see, you can only link one address to your uid whilst it's advised to use a different addy for each transaction.
If you care about your privacy, you will have to login to your account and add new address whenever you expect to receive funds which is not practucal at all.

When buying, you are safe as long as you use a reputable escrow or the seller sends you the bitcoins first.
The risk when selling bitcoin against PayPal is that the buyer can raise a chargeback and get his money back even after the transaction had been cleared, whereas, you can't reverse the bitcoin transaction.

Who are those 3-5 people you are talking about? Can you be more specific?. didn't notice marlboroza's reply

I don't know who is on dt1 list and who is not anymore. But -excuse me- and for the sake of all forum members, if you are a dt member, be more active on tagging scammers (at least for the sake of those who elected you)

The Turkish section is one of the most active sections and no one (or gang) will be able to shut it down. However anyone have the right to question the credibility of new DTs.
Anyway, trust is not moderated.

You might be surprised to know that not only new exchanges report inflated trading volume by creating fake orders but, sadly, many reputed exchanges do the same along with other suspicious activities.
Some researches and analysis allege that up to 95% of the reported trading volume is fake!

Bots used by exchanges to generate this fake volume shouldn't be confused with legitimate bots used by day traders though.

I am sorry your friend had to learn the lesson the hard way.
You should never make deals with strangers without an escrow especially when you send first and pay in cryptocurrencies (transactions are irreversible).
Sorry to say it but there is not much that can be done here. What makes you think he is from Asia?
The scammer probably used a fake identity when communicating with your friend.

However, you should keep track of all transactions made by his USDT address. Hoping it will lead you to his real identity.

let's hope those members are just bots and not real people.
I can't understand how someone can fall for such a blatant scam!
To nyone who joined that group and expect to receive a reward: ask yourself, why what's supposed to be a Metamask group asks you to create a wallet on blockchain.com? Why don't they send the reward to your Metamask wallet!? and why do you have to send few coins to their contract address to be eligible to get the reward!? Doesn't make sense, right!

thank you Loyce, updated.
So, whenever I want to edit my preferences all I have to do is to update this reply, right!

Why do they only add the Scam tag, why don't they ban the scammer and close his channel!?
As in the example you provided, a tagged scammer can simply use a silly excuse like: TG tagged me because many haters/competitors falsely reported me".
Also I am curious to know if they investigate each case even if there are few members who reported the channel! I believe they react based on the number of reports not how accurate they are though (hope am wrong about this)

Obviously they removed the option to show the private key for security reasons. Therefore, the option allowing to print a paper wallet doesn't make sense anymore and should be removed.

as Pmalek suggested, you can use iancoleman to derive the extended private key for your HD wallet from the seed hence the private key for each address belonging to that wallet.
The derivation path is: m/44'/60'/0'/0

edit: I just logged in using a private key and when I click on print paper wallet, the private key shows up.

Is there a "karma whores" list on reddit!? Do you have a link to it?
If you believe someone is cheating or abusing the merit system then you can leave a negative feedback on his trust page. This is how we are supposed to deal with merit abusers.
With all the drama going on here, "merit whores" list is the last thing we need.

@Ya3rob,
مجهود متميز و عمل رائع لكن هناك بعض المعلومات عليك تعديلها:


- الاعضاء برتبة Newbie و brand new لا يمكنهم استعمال خاصية التوقيع.
- الأعضاء برتبة Jr.member يحتاجون لنقطة جدارة اضافة لنقاط النشاط.
- عدد الاحرف الاقصى المسموح بها لمن رتبتهم Member  و أكثر هو4000

I don't know why no one did mention it, but to withdraw your coins from the exchange you don't need to develop a wallet. All you need is an address and its private key.

كالعادة اعتذر منكم اخواني لعدم التفاعل في القسم العربي.

ارجو ان لا يتم اعتبار هذا النوع من المواضيع كمسابقة فالغاية هي نشر المعرفة بالاساس.

ارجو من أي شخص لديه المعرفة أو الخبرة الكافية ان يقوم بكتابة  موضوع شامل عن المحافظ متعددة التواقيع من كيفية انشاءها الى الغاية من استعمالها.
راجع موضوع الأخ hugeblack حول greenwallet

الموضوع متشعب لذلك ارجو ممن يرغب في كتابة الموضوع ان يتناول كل التفاصيل.
-لا بد ان يتناول الموضوع الجوانب التقنية-

لا اعتقد انني احتاج لذكر ذلك لكن كل من سيطرح موضوع متميز سيتحصل على عدد لا باس به من نقاط الجدارة سواءا مني أو من بقية الاعضاء.

بالتوفيق للجميع.

كهاتف، لا يحتوي هذه الجهاز على مميزات تجعله مميز عن غيره بل يوجد هواتف تتفوق عليه و باسعار أقل بكثير منه.
كمحفظة، لا اعتقد ان هذه الميزة تستحق هذا الثمن. كمثال بسيط ماذا لو أحتجت المحفظة و كان الجاهز غير مشحون 

بالنسبة لاستعمال الجهاز كعقدة فاولا ستحتاج لاقتناء فلاشة 400 قيقا على الاقل و من ثم النقطة الأساسية و هي البطارية. بطارية هذا الهاتف لا يمكن الإعتماد عليها فهي 3500؛muphr بينما تحتاج المعقدة لأن يتم تشغيلها على الاقل ل 6 ساعات يوميا حتى تعتبر عقدة فعلية. لا اعتقد ان هذه البطارية ستكفي بالغرض.
الفكرة جيدة لكنها غير مجدية للأسف.
لا انصح الأخ اوميغا باقتناء هذا الهاتف فسعره مبالغ فيه

You should read the part regarding their referral program in the announcement thread again.
You will receive 50% of whatever they earn from every person you refer.
The instant referral bonus applies only to the first 10 persons referred by you.
There is nothing to complain about here since this is how it's supposed to work.

Many exchanges gave the same promise but after few months from launching when the trading volume increases they start asking for KYC.
Their excuse is always that they have to comply with the legislations of the country they are operating from.
I would believe them if they didn't say that there will be no withdrawal limits.

Try to download the latest release. It seems that the syncing process for older versions (especially 0.20) is not that reliable and a bit buggy.

From the picture you posted, it looks like your wallet didn't manage to connect to any peer. If it was syncing then it would show a deposit address and the progress bar!

They are not that old. They launched HBUS on July last year.
What I couldn't understand is why they didn't stick to a single main exchange "huobi global"? why creating all this confusion by launching "HBUS", "huobi mena"...? Is their plan to create an exchange for each country?
What's for sure is that they invested a lot of money in promoting those exchanges but obviously it didn't work as they were expecting.
