This is what the Japanese has to say, https://sports.yahoo.com/only-one-quarter-japanese-want-olympics-next-poll-015827985.htmlOnly one quarter of Japanese want Olympics next year: poll Tokyo (AFP) - Just one in four people in Japan want to see the coronavirus-delayed Tokyo Games held next year, with most backing either further delay or a cancellation, a new poll shows.
Only 23.9 percent of respondents in the three-day nationwide poll published Sunday said they wanted to see the 2020 Games held next year.
The survey carried out by Kyodo news agency found 36.4 percent of respondents back a further delay of the Games, while 33.7 think the flagship event should be cancelled altogether.
Most of those backing a delay or cancellation said they simply didn't believe the pandemic could be contained in time for the Games, now scheduled to open on July 23, 2021.
A separate survey carried out over the weekend by the Asahi Shimbun newspaper found 33 percent of respondents backed holding the Games next year, with 61 percent supporting another postponement or cancellation.
Good to hear that Japanese people favors delay specially that if the virus was not contained on the scheduled 2021 date. Risk is too high, everyone has suffered already, so it's really better if we see another delay if the situation doesn't improved next year. |

It would be more efficient if a wallet uses this data to warn users when they try to send to one of the reported addresses
It's a good suggestion but I don't think that wallet providers are going to integrate this addresses because it is already censorship which is against the very tenant of why we are here in crypto space. And the website could only help if newbies are going to use it. But we all know that they don't, so this is one cons. |

Are there any happened before that golden crossed didn't continue or happened what we really expected?
Because as far as I remember before, a year ago I think, a lot of chart spreading all over that golden cross is coming but then, it didn't.
Yes, the same as last year, https://www.coindesk.com/golden-cross-provides-glimmer-of-hope-for-bitcoin-price-revivalAnd it says that it is a indicator for a bull run. It's kinda difficult really, but still, this is useful, we all know that there is no 100% in technical analysis.
For a TA guy, this is one indicator that we are all wanting to see, I agree that it is no guarantee and not 100%. But let's remain optimistic and hope to see a good bounce since the market has been boring. |

^^, yeah, I agree that it seems strange that the hacker suddenly switch their demand from bitcoin to monero. Maybe they don't want to go to another layer of using mixers or any another conjoin services because of the risk of Chainalysis.
This is also what I thought initially, maybe they already learned their lessons and that monero offer them more flexibility to liquidate. Perhaps they need to assessed what data this the criminals get but for sure, names/addresses/personal info of their customers. If they don't pay, then for sure we will find this data being sold on the darkweb.
And that is the sad part of it, we are customers are going to be affected negatively with this breach specially that our data will be sold and we don't know what they are going to do with it, but for sure we have been exploited in this way. |

If it's going to be better than bitcoin than if has to go to Ethereum first. So short answer is No, if you are talking about the price, there's no way that some coins will simply replace bitcoin. But in terms of technology, there are a lot of coins out there that is better than bitcoin. But it doesn't mean that it will make bitcoin obsolete or even be a competition for the number one spot.

It was my first time to see one "Vitalik giveaway" in Youtube yesterday. It was indeed ingenious to make it live and have fake chat comments saying they received the giveaways.
There are many scammers you used Vitalik's name as well, its not just a btc thingy, these scammers are going to use whoever they want as long as this personalities are really well known in crypto community. I'm sure some newbie will fall for it, the Twitter scams make a killing before Jack Dorsey did something about it.
If you are referring to the Twitter hack incident, they are to blame and not btc itself. You just have to be very careful to not fall for this gimmick. And this kind of people are all over, Twitter/Youtube/Google. If this services slacks on how to prevent this on their platform, then we need to learn and educate on how to spot them early. |

Hi to all the community.
Recently i've got a problem with my trading account on binance, got it 2FA verified and 2FA was on my mobile phone which i've lost. So i've lost an access to my exchange as well, because i didn't save a code to 2FA.
As others have said, contact Binance support. So i've started again and wondering if there's something can happen not only with my equipment, but me as well, how can my relatives receive my funds without getting an access to my binance account, email, 2FA, etc. Is there any service i can use that will be something like a backdoor which i or my relatives can use if something goes wrong?
There no such thing as backdoor, everything is crypto should be well taken care of. Your passwords, keys, it should be back up so that when worst comes to worst, you have a fall back plan and you can recover everything. |

Argentina’s telecommunications hacked and called for rescue in Monero
by Amber Baxter July 19, 2020
Telecommunications, Argentina’s largest telecommunications company was the victim of a ransomware attack as reported by several users on Twitter. Hackers are demanding $ 7.5 million in Monero (XMR), an amount that would increase to 15 million if the company doesn’t pay in less than 48 hours. https://www.europeworldnews.com/argentinas-telecommunications-hacked-and-called-for-rescue-in-moneroIt's interesting that the hackers are now demanding Monero, instead of the usual BTC which is the mode of ransom for many such attacks. Its for $7.5 million, and that is huge amount, I don't know if the company are willing to comply though, so let's see how things will turn out. |

IEO isn't bad only because of exchanges, all these crypto offerings are inherently flawed, because it's a perfect model for scamming - scammers stay anonymous on the Internet, offer people to buy useless digital coins with a promise that one day they will be useful, but in reality there is no mechanism for verifying that these developers will even lift a finger to developer the product.
Specially after the developers got the needed funding, the thought to exit scam will be present. And as we all know, this is just a rehearse of an old ICO model, nothing has change a bit, except that this is being run or launch from a supposedly reputed exchange. But it didn't mitigate the risk that the people behind can still scam people and developers are not going to give a shit as long as they are making easy money from gullible individuals, IEO will not stop. |

I assume the domain name registrars know the identities of those scammers who register phishing domains. Do the take any legal actions against them?
Wouldn't be better to offer the possibility for anyone who register a new domain name to reserve all its variants too or blacklist them. It would limit these phishing attacks significantly.
I doubt that this criminals are giving out their true identify when registering this domain names. Yes, its possible that variants can be registered so that there's no way that this scammers to used that website name. However, scammers are very clever that's why they uses puny code attacks. |

Now that DeFi projects are on a roll, it looks like the SEC is trying to stand on their way again. What are your thoughts or opinions about this one guys?
I'm sure that if they found out that those DeFi are in violation of ther policies, for sure that they are going to be the next target, and maybe on their crosshair already. Maybe one day we will here DeFi's being sued by them, just like what they did on some IEO's and ICO's. Big money is flowing on DeFI's millions if not billions already and this is enough for SEC to take a closer look in the future. |

If investigators wanted to know where to start, maybe they should read this article, https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/17/technology/twitter-hackers-interview.htmlThe interviews indicate that the attack was not the work of a single country like Russia or a sophisticated group of hackers. Instead, it was done by a group of young people — one of whom says he lives at home with his mother — who got to know one another because of their obsession with owning early or unusual screen names, particularly one letter or number, like @y or @6.
The Times verified that the four people were connected to the hack by matching their social media and cryptocurrency accounts to accounts that were involved with the events on Wednesday. They also presented corroborating evidence of their involvement, like the logs from their conversations on Discord, a messaging platform popular with gamers and hackers, and Twitter.
Playing a central role in the attack was Kirk, who was taking money in and out of the same Bitcoin address as the day went on, according to an analysis of the Bitcoin transactions by The Times, with assistance from the research firm Chainalysis.
But the identity of Kirk, his motivation and whether he shared his access to Twitter with anyone else remain a mystery even to the people who worked with him. It is still unclear how much Kirk used his access to the accounts of people like Mr. Biden and Mr. Musk to gain more privileged information, like their private conversations on Twitter.
The hacker “lol” and another one he worked with, who went by the screen name “ever so anxious,” told The Times that they wanted to talk about their work with Kirk in order to prove that they had only facilitated the purchases and takeovers of lesser-known Twitter addresses early in the day. They said they had not continued to work with Kirk once he began more high-profile attacks around 3:30 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday.
“I just wanted to tell you my story because i think you might be able to clear some thing up about me and ever so anxious,” “lol” said in a chat on Discord, where he shared all the logs of his conversation with Kirk and proved his ownership of the cryptocurrency accounts he used to transact with Kirk.
“lol” did not confirm his real-world identity, but said he lived on the West Coast and was in his 20s. “ever so anxious” said he was 19 and lived in the south of England with his mother.
Investigators looking into the attacks said several of the details given by the hackers lined up with what they have learned so far, including Kirk’s involvement both in the big hacks later in the day and the lower-profile attacks early on Wednesday.
The Times was initially put in touch with the hackers by a security researcher in California, Haseeb Awan, who was communicating with them because, he said, a number of them had previously targeted him and a Bitcoin-related company he once owned. They also unsuccessfully targeted his current company, Efani, a secure phone provider. So if this is true, I maybe wrong with my impression that the hackers come from a well coordinate group. But according to this article, it was pull by some kid who still lives with their mom and was a teen-ager. |

So it looks like the Olympics this year has been postponed and rescheduled for July 23- Aug 8 2021 based on https://tokyo2020.org/en/. We do hope that by that time, this pandemic is over and everyone is back to normal. So we need to wait for a full year before we can witnessed the greatest sporting event. |

Justin Sun is still making his publicity stunts. And with this bounty being much bigger than the sum that was stolen, perhaps he is thinking that no one will come to claim it? After all, if there were multiple hackers, only one of them can snitch on the others to claim the bounty, and then it might still mean jail time for them. Plus there's a risk that Justin Sun won't uphold his word.
But I wonder if some chainanalysis company will somehow manage to track down the hackers, would Justin pay the bounty to them?
We all know that Justin will jump on every opportunity to get any publicity, after all he was given the title shill god. It's good to hear that he is offering the bounty, and I'm sure bounty hunters will be hunt on the tail for this hackers. If he is true to his words then he should pay them. So this will be a cat and mouse game, hackers using tumbling services or even privacy coins like monero to hide their foot prints. |

Just to be clear, it was not Google Store that has launched this, it was the criminals who used Google's platform to run this SCAM. I think this should also be moved to Scam Accusations board for maximum exposure. |

Does the bonus happen frequently at 35spins? How frequently? And how about the 350spins...i mean how frequently does the spin gives you the Bonuses? I guess if you really get the bonus frequently at both (35 & 350spins) spins then it could have some predictability to the "randomness". Maybe you just focus more on spinning at 35 & 350 to see if they are part of the answer. Just my opinion. Don't know much about the games
No, it doesn't work that way, there is no predictability in randomness, and as you get more data, not just 350 spins, you will really find out that it is completely random. You can get lucky to hit it in less than 35 spin or 350 spin, but that's about it. You can drain your money in minutes specially if you are a max bettor and never hit the bonus. And even if you hit the bonus, there's also no guarantee that you can get a good return, you can also get $0 bonus return, that's why slots games are very difficult to win. |

Sorry to say but some artificial intelligence projects are over exaggerated, it's like chasing something that can never be possible, the only A.I Projects I can support must be reasonable fair, like A. I messengers application etc
Never heard of https://sophon.ai/ ? AI project sounds as bullshit, unless it was collectively feed processing power but that doesn't exist. Exactly, I've heard projects talking about AI and stuff, but at the end of the day, they are all scams and never proven to really have a good case, except hyping their project. And I believed that they are really exaggerated to really look like that project is the next big thing in crypto and AI, but so far no one has proven to be successful. |

To be fair to that person, the hodl mentality wasn't introduce until 2013 if I'm not mistaken. So maybe those early adopters doesn't have that concept and simply buying the hype and then liquidating them specially if they have profited. Regrets? Just remember the Pizza guy to understand what regrets really means.

People that send the money believes a lot in the Twitter handlers that posted. For instance a strong follower and believers of Barack Obama will take his tweet about giveaway serious and might have no reasonable doubt not to send the money. The hackers don't generally select the account but specifically go for account that people hold trust in them. If not, I believe they would have target accounts such as Donald trump page. I strongly believe everyone deserve to be happy and whoever send money should get their money back if the hackers are apprehended
It's because the tweet really came from the real account themselves and initially it is hard to distinguished if this is a scam or not. And if you look at the addresses, it is just small amount that has accumulated overtime. So the hackers hand pick which account to use in his scamming. So for me you can't blame those who send to that scammers, and it's too late because its been hours later before twitter acknowledge the hack. There's always two sides on a story. |

it isn't Jeff Horn who got the most paid fight with Pacquiao? Not the professional profit for the boxing tho, but for what he pay for the judges lol. Scored unanimous after Pacman slaughtered him in the ring, I'm skeptical with this guys. Now his opponent is undefeated champ, guess they'll be into clash, toe-to-toe fight, I'm all in for Tim after what he did with Pacman. Any undefeated want to keep their record, 1 up for Tszyu.
I'm all for Tim Tszyu too since I am not quite a fan of Jeff Horn after what they did to Pacman despite of how unprofessional he is with the referee/judges. Well, justice been served though when he lost to Terence Crawford but there's no satisfying than to see this guy kiss the canvas if Pacman do it to him.  Hahaha, I agree, Crawford school that mofo for good, I think this will be a good venue for the young Tim Tszyu and retire this bully for good. Pacman didn't lost that fight to him, it was handed to Horn before the fight even started, home grown decision. And Tim has his father behind him, a great champion himself so I'm going to Tim being the young and has more to proved to Aussie boxing fans. |
