Damn! Losing £25.000 sucks no matter what your financial situation is. What I would like to know is how did you even come across that FX Chain (whatever that is supposed to be)? I would recommend you reconsider your online activities that led you to start sending money to those scammers and be exposed to such scam opportunities.

I tried to do a Google search on FX Chain and the results show audio software.
Searching for "FX blockchain" suggest a project called Function X. But that's not it, is it? That token is listed and is trading on several exchanges.

A bit of a confusing introduction, but OK. Welcome to Bitcointalk - a place where you don't have to pay anything because knowledge is meant to be free.
What happened after that one-day training course? You never ended your story. You paid those $3, listened to a seminar on Bitcoin, and what happened in the days and weeks after that? Was there even a job on offer or did the "company" disappear after the interview?

Whatever your experience was, I hope you understand it has nothing to do with Bitcoin. You were obviously tricked to pay money for something and that's where it ends. Bitcoin isn't to blame. Neither can you blame blockchain technology, or its creators. But this forum has plenty of resources that can teach you how to spot and protect yourselves from obvious scams and schemes.

Ok, here are some corrections in a polite way.

- If you want to be taken seriously, act like a human being and not like a bot. Participate in the discussion threads you are creating. I have gone through most of the threads you have written on the first page of your profile and they all have one thing in common. Only the OP is from you, and you never return to your discussions to engage the community in normal discourse. Talk with the members on Bitcointalk like you do with your friends and family. You don't start the day by saying a couple of sentences to them and then go quiet for the rest of the day. 

- Stay out of the off-topic boards. People who mostly post in off-topic usually have ulterior motives. They are building up their activity points with posts that have nothing to do with Bitcoin and crypto. A Bitcoin forum is about Bitcoin, hence its name. There is no problem talking about off-topic things, but that shouldn't be the main focus. If someone comes here to discuss cotton candy and living room chandeliers, maybe there are better online communities for those people.

Genuine people are in 99% of the cases not treated unfairly on Bitcointalk, no matter their rank.

Enjoy your stay!

Sisar govori o Internet Computer projektu i ICP coinu. Ne znam šta je IDU ali ja i nisam prava osoba za priče o altcoinima. Jel IDU neki token na Internet Computer blockchainu ili je neki coin koji nije uopšte vezan za ovaj projekat?

I have never heard anyone mention this particular brand of hardware wallets before except maybe Ratimov in that big list of his. Feel free to share some more information about it and tell us how it works. Some pictures would also be appreciated similarly to how other users submitted theirs.   

No, that's not the way to do it. You need to be talking about how handsome the admins are. Talk about theymos' calves. He loves that. Tell him how stunning he looks in tight shorts. That will get him all worked up.

Meni zaista nije legao. Gledao sam ga sinoć. Apsolutno ništa nisam ni čitao o filmu niti sam trejler pogledao. Kao neko kome se dosta svidjela serija Vikinzi (osim zadnje sezone i pogotovo kraja koji je promašen), očekivao sam nešto slično tome. Bilo je trenutaka kada sam želio da ga isključim ali sam ipak ostao do kraja. Slažem se s tobom da vjerovatno treba voljeti tu vrstu filmova da bi ti se svidjeo The Northman.

Jedan film koji je meni isto bio uvrnut a tebi bi se možda svidjeo je Natural Born Killers. Film je iz 1994 i radili su ga Oliver Stone i Tarantino. Htio sam da vidim kakav je zbog Woody Harrelsona i Robert Downey Jr-a. Poslje nekih 20-30 minuta sam ga isključio. Jesi gledao i jel ti leži ta vrsta filmova?

Yeah, but you should avoid that in the first place. Like I said, there is no reason to use an email that shows your real name or one connected with a third-party site where your name can be obtained from there. This is a forum where you are not asked to identify yourself, so it's better if people used that to their advantage. A username is everything you need.

No one should unnecessarily risk putting a target on their backs by revealing what street they live on, how they look, what their names are, and how many Bitcoins they have managed to collect after all these years.

Something like this maybe:

But instead of the dog, it's craig wright.
You could put a Bitcoin logo in the background and a text saying, Bitcointalk.org, a place to be free!

If you work hard on something, it's a good feeling getting acknowledged and rewarded for it. On this forum, the way to show appreciation to someone's efforts is to merit their posts. Merits have more value than likes on social media and they are not the same thing. You can like every single post on FB, if you want to. You can't merit posts here unless you have the needed sMerits to do it. And you won't get merited unless you contribute in ways that others will like and appreciate.

If you can't even see the link because it's hidden somewhere in the post, it's unlikely you would even click on it. How would it even happen? You would have to click on every word, character, and empty space to find the hidden hyperlink. No one does that.

If Bitcointalk had some sort of database with known phishing links, it would need to be a work in progress that has to be constantly updated and maintained by someone. Hackers, scammers, and thieves aren't resting and are creating new sites and ways to attack people daily. If the forum banned sites 1-100, they can just create new ones.

Besides, there already is some sort of script that recognizes unwanted links and domains. I have seen links being broken with the message "suspicious link removed". 

It isn't necessary but you can try it. What do you have to lose, you are already banned. Worst thing - you remain banned forever. Anything less than that (like a temp ban or a signature ban) is a plus in your book.
You are a newbie and maybe the staff you are planning to contact have disabled the possibility of newbies PMing them.

What you can do is explain what good you have done for the forum since you have been here and how the forum would benefit if you are given a second chance. If the staff like what they see, they might reconsider the ban...

Doesn't seem like too big of a problem to be honest. Your forum email account shouldn't be something that is connected to your real identity anyways. But I agree that there is no reason to keep logs of it. If what Xal0lex said is correct, that's no longer happening anyways. But then again, maybe Xal0lex never saw the email addresses in the first place and this is something only the admins can answer correctly. 

Most people active in the technical boards have stopped responding in his topics altogether. I have no problems helping anyone if I can. The problem with Jerry is that you tell him something yesterday and he asks the same thing today. Next week, he will ask it again. The perfect examples are updates to Ledger Live and the crypto apps. Should I update, when should I update, what percentage of the world population already updated, can I lose my coins if I update, will I get a virus when I update, a new version came out last week, do I need to update this time...

The chances of Bitcoin switching to POS are greater than the chances of Jerry not asking about an update.

In this scenario of yours, does the user still have access to his mobile app and device where the keys are stored or did he lose one/both of them? If it's a normal 2-out-of-3 multisig, Square's signature wouldn't even be needed. Having the control of how much the user is and isn't allowed to spend from his own money is another highlight in the long list of 'no thanks' for this product of theirs.

I have seen people who don't speak English do it several times, so that really shouldn't be a problem why people could get in trouble with the Bitcointalk staff. Not everyone speaks English, but they still might require some help. I see it only becoming a problem if you start building your account by posting a lot of Google translated content. But in rare occasions where the person is probably only her to get help with Bitcoin, it's not a big deal. One call always mention that the post is Google translated and the reason why if that is a requirement.

You literally replied to one of my posts a few hours ago saying you don't want to use Electrum anymore because you prefer Ledger Live.


And here you are asking whether or not you should verify the newer versions of the software. You should verify each new Electrum version before installing it on your computer no matter how often they come out.

Cypress Hill - Insane In The Brain

"Köpa" is indeed the Swedish word for "buy". OP obviously doesn't speak English, and the post is also not translated with google translate or a similar automated translation tool because it contains spelling mistakes. I would suggest you use Google translate and just post in your native Swedish language and paste the results here. It should provide more clarity.

There is no Swedish local thread in the Other languages/locations sub that I am aware of.
OP should use the Skandinavisk local if he wants to write in his mother tongue. The activity there is quite poor though.

I will answer you that question as soon as you can tell me what percentage of people are wearing shorts RIGHT NOW in their own homes compared to those wearing pants. I am going to need precise stats and data for all EU countries + Brazil. 

There are tutorials on how to do it on this forum and outside sources. Anyone who can read and follow instructions can do it. 

I am not sure what you are asking. If the question is if you can connect 3rd-party hardware wallets (like Trezor) to Ledger Live, then the answer is no, you can't. Ledger Live is for Ledger hardware wallet only. But some other hardware wallets can be connected to Electrum.

Me neither, nor am I defending that model. I am just making conclusions based on the things that have been revealed here about Square.

You have (full) control in the sense that you can move your coins without requesting permission (It sounds incredibly stupid even writing this when you are thinking about Bitcoin) from Square because you have two of the private keys. But you don't have full control when it comes to the sole custody of said keys and the coins they are supposed to protect.
