His aim is obviously to leech off bitcointalk. This is not his first account either, he has two previously banned accounts and soon to have 3rd. That probably won't discourage him from making the new ones. Rinse and repeat.

Maybe you should try asking in their ANN thread. I see that their account @cryptoemporium  is active so maybe you get some answers there.
Where you also removed from their telegram bounty group, as that's another place where you could ask https://t.me/EmporiumBounty, in case someone else experienced the same thing.


Yeah that part is weird, that Emporium Finance Telegram group is now some kind of airdrop channel. Doesn't make much sense really.

PlusToken was a very well known ponzi scheme in China and South Korea, millions lost thier life savings so I am not surprised that seized amount is in billions of dollars. Numbers reported (194,774 BTC, 833,083 ETH etc...) are similar to those from article released back in July 2020 when prosecution of those involved started, so I guess this latest news is legit.



And then people ask " are these scammers stupid, no one will fall for this 10% daily ROI scheme". People were falling for similar schemes before cryptocurrencies appeared, and all this made it just easier for scammers as people heard about others getting rich by investing in BTC so naturally they want piece of cake too. For many BTC is some kind of magic money.


They are not stupid, they will want to profit from this. If they really want hurt cryptocurrencies, they could do it anyway even without those seized funds. As others said, at least scammers won't be able to dump it.

Hah yeah, all that self help bullshit is exactly the reason why I decided to check them out and once you see in what kind of scams they were involved before, there is no doubt that only "growth"  that will happen is  growth of organizers banking account.

Out of all their bullshit, probably  my favorite is the name of their CEO Armin Pajula Facebook account Arm In Wealth. When you think about it, it is really an appropriate name, as his arm is reaching for other people's wealth

Good finding, SYLO has been obviously shilled by those accounts you mentioned.There is some big gap in thread activity from July 2019 up until June 2020, but only recent.ly they decided to rehire shills to hype this shitcoin. It's interesting coincidence that June 2020 was exactly the time when their token reached ATH and since then it lost its value by more than 80%.

Beside Sylo, one more ANN has been added to the list. Rubic shilling started recently, and while they are mostly using new accounts (well made in 2019/early 2020 but with no prior activity) few of them are also active in another ANN that is on the list already (Totem).

Tell that to Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance. Even though it might seem to some that  Binance is around for many years considering how popular it is at the moment, the fact is that CZ launched Binance a bit more than 3 years ago, which you will agree is not long period of time. Who would have thought  3 years ago that some new exchange like Binance will be way more popular than some of the leading exchanges back then like Bittrex and Kraken.

I do agree that 99% of the new exchanges are crap  and don;t bring absolutely anything new, but that's how it goes. One of those new ones will eventually make it and offer us better service. More competition is a good thing for us customers, and will make those at the top to work in order to keep that position.

It is true  that in the last 5-6 months Bangladesh topic is the most active one (with Pakistan) in Other Languages/Locations section. As a matter of fact, when you compare it with other communities that have their own local board, Bangladesh still doesn't look bad. Since I wanted to support those communities that are kinda neglected, I included few of them in monthly overview of local board activity from October overview, and will keep including them from now on.

On the chart below you can see Bangladesh (communities without local board are marked with *) topic somewhere in the middle with 306 posts written during October ahead of many others with own local board, and it looks like November will be similar in that regard (so far 250+ posts written).



I do hope that you get your own local board eventually as I think that local boards are important part of bitcointalk and can help spread the word about bitcoin among those that don't understand English well. If you want any chance of that happening you will have to keep it active and spam&shitposts free for longer period of time, so admins are sure that they are not wasting their time if they decide to give you your own local board just so it gets abandoned soon after that. There are already plenty of half-dead local boards so it's no surprise that admins are very hesitant to add new ones.

Thank you for sorting this out! Everyone in our local board really appreciates this.

Haha true. First we got few sub boards, now RegulusHr got unbanned. What's next, maybe we get our own moderator once again?

Ako nisam nesto krivo razumio, izgleda da je Regulusu maknut ban! Quote iz RegulusHr teme u meti:


Na bpipu i dalje nema promjena doduse.


edit;

Mislim da ima, bio je onine ovih dana, znaci da je pratio situaciju.


A je, al jebat ga, sta bi bilo bolje da je ostao banan i dalje? Ne treba sada biti negativan ako je stvarno odbanan. Prcit ga, treba ici dalje.

I don't think that forum administration can/want do anything about it since wearing an avatar as a requirement for signature campaign is not breaking any forum rules, so they won't meddle in that. And they most likely won't make any changes in that regard.

I do agree with the other things you said, that all participants of some signature campaign having exactly the same avatar doesn't bring much extra exposure, and what's even worse in case 5-6 members of the same signature reply in same topic one after another it gives an appearance of one user writing all those messages so it has counter effect. At least that's how it looks to me. I've been active on various forums for many years and avatar was always an important part of forum member identity.

Then again I do understand companies wanting to get as much exposure as possible for their money so maybe it would be a good idea to find some middle ground. Something like BestChange, signature campaign I am currently part of did, so we can have customized avatars while their logo is still visible. From what I noticed, reactions to that innovation were positive so maybe after some time other signature campaigns consider doing similar thing.

Bare minimum Google could do is to manually verify every app that has been submitted by the developer who is doing that for the first time. Sure, some scammers might try to circumvent that by creating legit app first and then submitting fake one, but that kind of "long game" would be too much effort needed for 99% of scammers that are trying to pull off something like that. If they lack the manpower to do that, surely they can afford to hire more people.

I reported the fake app to Atomic support via Telegram and  apparently they were unaware of this case. At least they said that they will report it to Google. I also asked them to share warning on their social media channels. I hope that I'm wrong but I think that they will ignore that request, like they did last time.


You can report it to the Google. Here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vadvers.aamplek&hl=en_GB&gl=US

U donjem lijevom kutu svake svoje  teme imas opciju "move topic" (odmah lijevo pored opcije "lock topic") kliknes na to pa ti se onda otvori novi prozor koji mozes vidjeti na slici dolje  sa izbornikom gdje zelis prebaciti temu.

I really doubt that Google would claim something like that. They would open themselves for bunch of lawsuits if someone lost money due fake app, and people are loosing money due that on the daily basis. They might have claimed that PlayStore is safer now than it was before, which is probably true because they introduced human component when checking malicious software, but they are still not doing enough in that regard. Not even close.

In the end, they covered themselves nicely from any lawsuits. You can see this quote from their TOS, so alleged claim to be 100% scam free would go against this.

Regarding fake Atomic wallet, this is the 2nd case in last few months, that I know of. In the previous case it took Google more than a month to remove it, I hope that they will be much faster this time as some will fall for this, so least they could do is to minimize the damage and remove it ASAP. It would probably help if Atomic reports it too, or at least warns their users, but based on previous case it seems like they don't really care much about that.  Last time i warned them about fake wallet, they didn't do absolutely anything to warn their users. Maybe that's the reason why scammers are using their name again.

To be honest, I am much calmer about all this than I thought I will be year or two ago. Back in 2018/2019 I was checking the prices all the time, contemplating what to do when BTC reaches prices similar to previous all time high, how much will I sell etc. Usual conclusion after these kind of "sessions" I had in my head is that I will sell half when we reach close to 20k ( I will still sell some, but not  even close as much as I initially thought).

But all this changed, market is different than it was 3 years ago, more big investors are in and those are not easily afraid so I don't think that similar price dump will happen like in early 2018. I am sure than I am not the only one, as around me I don't see much hype or excitement like it was in 2017 when everyone and my grandma was talking about bitcoin price. I know few people that bought BTC pretty much around ATH price, and none of them are considering selling everything (and they said that they will do exactly that after we reached bottom).

Pa odes samo na ono "Show the last topics started by this person." I tamo vidis svoje topice.

Ali ima jedan fora feature za ekipu kao ja koja ima hrpu otvorenih topica. Da se vidjeti sve te otvorene teme puno preglednije, i jos ih mozes fino razvrstati po boardovima. Evo recimo, ovo su sve tvoje teme koje si do sada otvorio. Znaci samo ubacis svoj uid u ovaj link dolje i dobijes ih izlistane.




Mozes na ovaj nacin vidjeti teme koje si otvorio u specificnom boardu(code za nas main board je 201). Evo recimo za cryptofrku. Jedino je zajebano sto moras mijenjati code za svaki sub board, pa ako hoces vidjeti teme koje si otvorio u nasem altcoin boardu moras staviti 221 i tako dalje.

Evo izgleda da stvari pomalo krecu na bolje, dobili smo novu sekciju, Off-topic (Hrvatski) i child board Announcements (Hrvatski)

Bas danas sam izmjenio par poruka sa Cyrusom na Discordu, gdje je on rekao da nas nije zaboravio nego zele biti sigurni da nam zapravo i trebaju boardovi prije nego ih krenu dodavati pa sam mu probao objasniti da smo mi fakat aktivan board. 

Izgleda da za vidljivi trust feedback moramo i dalje cekati, ali glavno je da se stvari pomicu na bolje.  Hvala @dkbit98 sto si pokrenuo ovu inicijativu! Potvrda da vrijeda ona stara "ne jebe lijep nego uporan"  

Let me consult with my crystal ball

Joke aside, I think that bitcoin might just keep going up for a while after we reach new all time high. Reason is simple: everyone expects correction right after we reach that, and exactly because of that I expect bitcoin to go on. Another thing, similar thing happened at the end of 2016/beginning of 2017 so some think it will happen again. People will start shorting more and more and whales will just liquidate those. At least for some time, as we will see correction eventually, people will want to take the profit

I keep hearing the exact same questions since the moment I heard about bitcoin for the first time, somewhere between 2013/2014 up until now. As a matter of fact, I ask those question too, when I though about buying bitcoin for the first time.

If we learned anything about bitcoin and its price by now, it is the fact that is never too late to buy more bitcoin. Of course, you won't take a loan or spend more than you can afford, but if you are into this in the long run, then even 20k price won't discourage you from buying more bitcoin. Sure, those that are more experienced may try to time the market and buy the dip as correction could happen soon, but imho, for an average investor it's never too late to buy. If anything, many of those that are thinking about buying bitcoin now for the first time would give up on that idea if price suddenly drops to 3,000 USD as they would think that price is going to 0.

@Ammikas also shilled AdzCoin, and what a coincidence that @coinstatic was very active there too. Guess he decided to activate his alt to spread the buzz.


Flag raised and first post updated.

I do agree that many DeFi projects have similar features, but you went one step further, copying directly word for word from Crypto.com. Their explanations, charts, as I said before even text formatting is similar. In general, when you are verbatim copying, it has to be clearly visible that you took it from someone else, so you have to make distinction between something that you wrote and something that you copied. Just sharing links in the end is not enough, and you didn't even done that. Your team surely read Bitcoin whitepaper. Haven't  you noticed those reference links in the end?

You said  in your whitepaper that you studied several projects like YAM, Sushiswap and Compound, yet the one which you used heavily as basis of your whitepaper you never mentioned. Not even one word about that.

Regarding risk disclosure, that's another thing you copied word for word from crypto.com. I usually don't mention that because those things  tend to be very similar to each other but what baffles me is that you are mentioning legal company "Ferrer-bonsoms & Sanjurjo Abogados" as part of your legal team. Why didn't you consult them regarding all this? You could at least ask them to write you that part, as that's what legal companies are for, among other things.


Can you please share those laws ? It won't change much really as you probably wouldn't mentioned them if they weren't part of Crypto.com whitepaper, but I would like to have that for the future reference when I come across European based DeFi that is conducting sale.

Thing is, we are overrun with DeFi projects similar to yours, where they just copy each other without adding anything new, just wanting to participate in this hype. Other than your project not being anonymous, it doesn't seem any different than dozens of those on this list DeFi-Scams - Big All-In-One-Thread - LAST UPDATE: 17/11/2020. More than half of them are guilty of exactly same thing, plagiarism and new ones are coming on the daily basis.
