I have had a look several times at the website recently, it seems the refilling of XMR is happening frequently enough to not appear zero as much as it used to therefore that helps those that prefer to not look elsewhere.

Is there scope or plans for adding any other stable coins options to eXch in the future? DAI and USDT are available on the Ethereum blockchain but are there any plans to spread out further say to TRC-20?

There is a huge lobbying movement in the US which is pushing the agenda forward on matters that are beneficial to those that donate to senators. If someone gave a bundle of cash as a bribe to a senator to ask questions in congress or put forward their agenda it might be considered illegal but if it is a legal declared donation and then the very same thing happen it is acceptable and legally allowed. Strange.

In the case of banks and other big businesses including fossil fuel benefactors, they have a massive lobbying machine behind them and many in congress benefit from their donations.

I think it is widely accepted no matter the evidence someone would present in the future to support their case for being Satoshi Nakamoto, it will not be believed because known addresses can be signed but they can also be compromised too (just as the GMX email address). Also, it is widely accepted Satoshi was more likely a group rather than an individual therefore proving anything will be extremely problematic.

There is no doubt about it, that was a nasty cut. After reviewing the video several times it does show Fury took a hit from the elbow of the sparring partner and it was unfortunate his headgear was probably just a fraction elevated at the time of impact. Fury and Usyk still have a two fight contract but there is always a danger their deal/contract could be put aside if Usyk (however unlikely) manages to lose his fight if he fights on 17th February.

18th May 2024 is the new date for the Fury vs Usyk unification fight

I wonder how many members have taken up the 2FA factor option. Though it might be impossible to ascertain how many hack attempts have been foiled as a result of members implementing the 2FA option, the actual number of members that have used the option (including those that might have reverted) should be available to theymos and it would be interesting to know the numbers involved.

That is one of the problems, after a recent thread was created related to alleged hacked accounts asking for loans, there is no way to know if any of those (or this) hack actually happened. If members keep posting they should not receive bans because their account was hacked then that trend will continue until/unless something changes.

The member with a dubious account that recently asked for a loan and deleted the request citing his account was hacked (at least that is what happened if memory serves correct), is another example. I certainly do not believe the drama when by far the majority (if not all) claim their account was hacked and they did not ask for a loan and/or they did not send the phishing links but every member will come to their own conclusions.

In that video it is clear Fury was hit by the elbow and he is fortunate it was above the eye and not on the eye itself. If it were to be stitched up and then Fury were to face Usyk before it healed, it goes without say that Usyk (or any other opponent) would definitely exploit the wound by trying to poke and jab at it in the hope the referee would stop the fight early-on.

Usyk will have to put all this behind him and try to focus on fighting the candidate put forward but the IBO have stated Hrgovic is their mandatory choice. Usylk will now have to focus on the next opponent instead of Fury and it will not be an easy fight as his tactics will change. If Usyk does end up fighting Hrgovic it will be a difficult fight because Hrgovic has won all 17 of his professional fights, 14 by knockout.

As several members have already stated, it is very unfortunate but there is no chance of you ever getting your deposits returned because the 1xbit/1xbit1 websites have a long list of allegations against them. Some time ago they started operating signature campaigns as a means to try to portray themselves as a legitimate entity but the scam allegations were never resolved and they eventually gave up on using this forum for promoting their business.

If you had taken a few minutes to investigate before sending any funds, you probably would have found at last one link that highlighted 1xbit/1xbit1 were widely acknowledged as being scammers and could not be trusted. Unfortunately, no matter what happens now (and no matter who intervenes), they will never pay out any funds. This is a case where applying due-diligence would have saved you going through the stress you are facing now.

Well, that did not come as a complete surprise to those that could not explain why they felt something did not sound right about the fight. I have to say it seems very strange for Fury to have got that cut as a result of sparring. Surely he would have kept his head protective gear on while he was sparring in the ring. The cut is a bad one but the circumstances surrounding it are simply bizarre.

There seems to be a bruise surrounding the cut therefore maybe it was an unfortunate clash of heads of heads that did it, we do not know.

These are the games being played tomorrow Saturday 2nd February 2024:

Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur
Brighton and Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace
Burnley vs Fulham
Newcastle United vs Luton Town
Sheffield United vs Aston Villa

However unlike it might be, does anybody think both Luton Town and Sheffield United will win their games? I believe they both have a very good opportunity to get maximum points.

These are the results from the games played yesterday:

West Ham United 1-1 Bournemouth
Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-4 Manchester United

West Ham United had a difficult home game with Bournemouth but salvaged a draw after being 0-1 down. Manchester United scored a 97th minute winner after Wolves scored a 95th minute equaliser. That was a good game to watch for the seven goals but the points have taken Manchester United to 7th in the Premier League table with 35 points but they remain 8 points away from an automatic Champions League position.

I suppose even if there were other compelling factors that could prove beyond doubt or conclusively that the other 14 accounts were not associated with the OP, he himself has admitted/acknowledged using a VPN. If that is something Shuffle are willing to cite as one of the reasons to take action against the OP he cannot really complain about that.

Since the amount is tiny but Shuffle still made an example of the OP, it seems clear this is about matters of principle on their part. If their terms of service have been broken they do have a right to take action against anybody trying to manipulate the system. I doubt CasinoGuru will help but if he did pursue it, it would  be interesting to see how their arbitration concludes the matter.

The Fixedfloat forum representative have taken themselves out of the thread and that is disappointing. It seems they have not posted since 29th January.

Under normal circumstances, if there were serious allegations against them they should have mounted a full defence to protect their reputation but the way they have handled the whole issue they have made it clear they were not interested in giving it the focus it deserved. In the process they left their reputation in tatters.

It does seem (just as the OP stated later) Fixedfloat are going through the KYC process as a form of revenge. As far as I am concerned they will not release the funds to the OP regardless of the explanation given or KYC/AML documents provided.

These are the most recent results of from the Premier League games played:

Wednesday 31st January
Manchester City 3-1 Burnley
Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 Brentford
Liverpool 4-1 Chelsea

Tuesday 30th January
Nottingham Forest 1-2 Arsenal
Fulham 0-0 Everton
Luton Town 4-0 Brighton and Hove Albion
Crystal Palace 3-2 Sheffield United
Aston Villa 1-3 Newcastle United

Monday 22nd January
Brighton and Hove Albion 0-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Sunday 21st January
Sheffield United 2-2 West Ham United
Bournemouth 0-4 Liverpool


After Liverpool thrashed Chelsea 4-1 this evening, they are once again 5 points clear at the top of the Premier League table. Elsewhere, Newcastle United won 1-3 at Villa Park to hand Aston Villa their first home defeat of the season. Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City won their games therefore keep pressure on Liverpool at the top of the table.

There is always the possibility he is telling the truth about his account either getting hacked or being used without his consent but only he can explain why he is trying to save the banned account when the account served no purpose. He is not exactly a prominent, overtly-liked or trustworthy member of the forum that he would be logging in to read and reply to a litany of PMs therefore why he was logging in to the (now banned) account regularly but was not posting remains a point of speculation.

At least you are finally convinced that the unification bout is going ahead as planned. I was always fairly certain it would not be postponed but as we approach closer to fight night I am beginning to have suspicions that something does not seem right. Well, when boxers start turning in to movie stars and animated gigantic alter-egos, it is one way to attract attention. I guess there is no further need to try to hype the fight after that strange attempt at promotion

As the OP will not be able to prove the account was hacked and I find the story hard to believe since it is regarding the "hacker1001101001" account:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1021758

The last post made by the account was in June 2022 therefore it is not as though he has been contributing to the forum and as a result the account will be missed: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1021758;sa=showPosts

He regularly logged in to the account but did not post, one can only draw their own conclusions why someone would do that but keeping that aside let us also not forget the account in question has multiple negative tags: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=1021758

It has been 19-20 months since his last post here using the hacker1001101001 account therefore why bother appealing the ban regardless of the reason the account was banned? Since it brought nothing constructive to the forum it would be preferred if the account remained banned.

I think the distinction has been made between the fact the OP had his funds unfairly frozen under the most dubious of excuses by Fixedfloat against the fact he seems to have received a generous payment for the website from his client. At worst case scenario, if the OP did not make the website or if there was something else going on, it still did not make it right for Fixedfloat to steal the funds.

Fixedfloat has to take measures now to repair the damage otherwise their reputation will never recover.

If other forums you are registered with do not allow the mention of Bitcointalk (other forums), it is a strange way to enforce censorship. Forums are a mechanism to have discussion about many topics but to ban a name because it is viewed as a competitor seems strange. What would it achieve by banning the promotion (or general discussion) of other forums? Can you name the forums you refer to as competing forums?

theymos would know. Why do you want to know?

Maybe I am misreading the way you articulated your point but I believe it was common knowledge that Satoshi posted in the forum after transferring it here from SourceForge. There are many posts from Satoshi that were made directly here and the post history (with date/time stamps) show that to be the case.

You have not received any request or notice from any law enforcement agency yet you have confiscated the funds because maybe someone 18 months from now will request it? Can you understand how ridiculous that sounds?

You are never going to be asked to pay any fine from  any law enforcement agency because you are not registered in any jurisdiction, you remain anonymous. Why are you conducting KYC on the customer of the OP if the funds are allegedly stolen and you will not return them regardless?

They stated in an earlier post they do not operate a KYC policy. If your customer is undergoing KYC with them, they will still never release the funds unless they ask you for your ID too.

What I do not understand is why would you or your customer go through a KYC procedure with an anonymous exchange that you do not even know where it is based, where their head office is located and the name of any person you can serve legal papers on? Why give them private details such as ID documents when they could easily sell them on to criminals (or use them themselves for criminal activity)?

The other question that comes to mind is the obvious one: if they claim the funds originated from criminal activity, they will never release the funds regardless of what KYC is followed. I agree, they are putting you through this to punish you for bringing their shameful conduct to our attention.
