Considering the amount of work that the mods of this forum have to get done in a single day, I still think every mod does their work sincerely and checks editing and timestamps before marking the report as good or bad.

@marlboroza

I have seen some of my reports remained unhandled even today - now consider this situation:

A wannabe mod who has a somewhat established name here, tries their luck at reporting posts as they wish without knowing the community guidelines and they get a number of unhandled and good reports. What they would do after this is "cancel" all the unhandled reports because technically they are not "handled" by any mod, since they decided that no action was needed for it and it is open to being marked as good or bad.

In this way they may try to get their accuracy rating high - not sure if the accuracy rating is based on only good and bad reports? Thanks @DdmrDdmr

So in this manner is one could cancel the reports they could get their rating high in short period of time allowing them to cheat the system. Obviously it would not remain so for long.

Deribit coming offline does not necessarily mean that the price going down was the effect. Deribit is like what BitMex is and you could speculate on the prices and buy contracts there for a future price, called margin trading.

Now what is possible is that a group of whales buy contracts on a certain price, which they have decided on and then dump the market to reach that price so their contracts go through before getting liquidated but this is a very longshot idea. The amount of bitcoin needed to move the market by 1% of its price is very big so it is less likely.

"Unprofessional" "disrespectful" are wrong words here. Being subjective makes you take the wrong decision. If you dont like them dont use them.

What do you mean by "increase"? A 1% or 0.01%? Be specific when you make a prediction or dont make any at all.

By 2022, a lot of changes in the government acceptance and stance on crypto can occur. Nobody can say for sure from beforehand and predict something like this but obviously everyone is optimistic about the price. Currently the price is recovering from the weekend dump this week but we might see better moves this Black friday. Its a good time to buy if the market price falls below 6k USD.

The loans done on the lending platforms seem to come from loan originators like I said, I dont trust them about the loan origins. It is a problem and people should be careful about this.

I have participated with ICOs like FastInvest and Debitum. FastInvest returned investors and remained a fiat lending platform only while Debitum is facing problems to recover in the bear market. I am yet to see other sucessful project like what Nexo and Salt have done but again I am skeptical about them storing users money with them.

In my opinion setting up your own marketplace is better than giving your money to another company acting as an intermediary.

Make sure you always ask for collateral to back loans. 99% chance that any non-collateral loan here would be a scam. Trusted users as well have scammed lenders so dont trust anyone.

You can start with anything between 1-10 BTC. Depends on how you manage your balance and how many loans you give out on average.

Nobody will trust you to be an escrow before gaining some trust so forget about any fee. This mostly comes from trading with other users and if they decide to trust you. Only the long timers here have been able to gain that level of trust.

To answer your question straight, think about this:

If someone knows what the outcome of a game would they really divulge that information to others without a huge chunk of money? Because if someone knew is besides the 1st person knowing it, that 2nd person would make a huge bet in that same line making the probable profit of the first person much less.

So obviously, whoever sells a tip would take a huge chunk so much so as to cover the loss they would have if they would have bet themselves.

In short, you have been scammed. Its not rare to be scammed like this and I am sure many other wannabe sports betting "experts" will have fallen prey to their greed like this. Make sure you have learnt some lesson.

I see some members have suggested third party sites here. A word of caution because they need you to pass KYC which is a red flag, still whatever your take may be. Secondly putting your money into a "platform" does not necessarily mean that you are actually lending to someone legitimate in need of a loan. We have a number of fiat lending sites out in the internet doing the same but many eventually collapsed because they were hidden Ponzi/MLM schemes with fake loan originators and people invested in them. I am not saying all of them are bad but it is a point to ponder.

The safer (but still risky) thing to do is to set up your own lending marketplace. This could be a lending thread in this forum, check the other well known lenders here like @zazarb, @DireWolfM14, @shasan and you will get an idea.

But the biggest problem in running them is knowing how to lend. You will face manipulative people trying to squeeze money from you out of "friendship" gradually as you become popular. Always take a collateral secured loan to be safe if you wish to do this.

I doubt any big-cap investor would be visiting the bounty hunting section of this forum to look for projects to put their hard earned money into. Sure there are some small-cap to mid-cap traders here, but big whales? Definitely few at this point, many have left the forum completely. They would prefer to use some aggregator site to get all the new projects names and information.

It will not help being "Alert". Being illiterate about what a project is and what its intended to be will make the participant take the wrong decision.

The people who manufacture those miners? Hell no. Unless you got some evidence to suggest the same, I would disagree. Dont make up conspiracy theories just to back up what you feel about the market price drops. There are more reasons why a price may drop and not new miners being self-mined before selling them.

It would be unethical for anyone to tamper with the product before sale after manufacture. Just because you think so does not make it true.

How are coming up with such an idea? Do you have any proof of your claim?

Similarly enough my username was also influenced by one of my favorite games.

In the Halo universe,

Sangheili (https://halo.fandom.com/wiki/Sangheili, https://aliens.fandom.com/wiki/Sangheili) are a part of the covenant, homeland Sanghelios and known to the Humans as "Elites".

They have classes among them too of which the military ranks are: (Source: https://halo.fandom.com/wiki/Sangheili)

Of which I took "Ultra" because of the toughness and the general pain in the rear during combat against them. In the games its the AI playing them but to encounter one in real life would be lethal.
 
And just to add a bit of uniqueness to the username I added "The" in front of it.

I pondered over Zealot a few times too but decided to stay with Ultra and used that in other sites too.

PS: Please dont confuse me with Ultra from Yolodice, who is a different user. I came to know about this from some older Primedice players.

I will try to answer some of the questions which I know of leaving out the rest of the questions for the experts here.

This is a trade secret of exchanges. I cant say anything here.

Of course they are. Darkweb nets are not invulnerable and you will find these news commonly about police raids on darknet tumblers, exchanges, marketplaces - shutting them down.

They are more likely to use Linux distros here. Apple is shit when it comes to vulnerabilities for hackers and windows is also pretty vulnerable.

This you need to do your own research on.

A digital medium of exchange? Then what difference does Gaypal, ApplePay and others like those have with bitcoin? Bitcoin is decentralized and somewhat anonymous, censorship-resistant. Thats what gives it an upper hand.

Wrong. People who understand the ideals of a decentralized currency would not go for state government backed coins. They are completely centralized like Ripple and a waste of an investment to make, let alone use any for transaction purpose. If you like them then do as you wish but taking Venezuela as an example would be a biased one since they had an economic collapse without any way to recover from it while other bigger countries are able to recover with time.

@jamesndungu1

You seem to have been blinded by the capability of AI. Remember that you are only speculating on what AI is being used for and not a developer of AI and machine learning. I cant say but judging from your posts it seems tome that someone may have fed that bullshit to you in order to sell you their bot. Please note that AI can observe technical and make decisions based on that however they are only there to automate the trades and nothing as guarantee profit. So dont get blinded and take everything you see on the internet to be true.

I am not saying luck is not there. It is there in every aspect of life but the EV+ games can be relied on skills but luck obviously plays a factor. Again in card games there are counting skills and ways to bluff the opponents so its not completely luck based unlike an EV- game like dice and slots where the casino will win in the long run.

Going home with nothing should not be thought as a defeat. It is a part of gambling and one does not lose completely or win completely. That win or loss only temporary until their next visit. That is of course false for those who would never gambler again - which is rare.

Well it is a bullshit reason to hold back on the bounty rewards but the bounty hunters have also an agreement to abide by any changes in terms during the course of the bounty hunting. So in a way they put the bounty hunters in a jinxed situation where you cant get the reward and even if you do the project will be a failure and the price of the token will go down. If they knew that hunters dump their tokens why did they opt for it in the first place? Poor marketing skills.

Then the participant has nothing to do but cry at the bad habit of participating in the first place whatever the allocation may have been.

Sucks to be you. Do you know that people lose more than just 1btc too?

T-raiding? New type of raiding is that so? Tell us more about it.

Sounds more like a ponzi telling people about returns.

No.

Just too much in a rush to type out some begging messages?

A pretty vague statement to make in a thread.

If you know a project is scam you would not promote it would you? Bounty hunters are more or less informed about things like these and their lack of intellect and critical thinking makes them victims. They know that the bounty wont be paying well even if its not a scam one but they still promote them like their life depended on it. You cant make these red-pilled bottomfeeders stop by just telling them unless they realize the truth.

It was a speculation at one time, which is common among people living in 4walled basements all day and rarely going outside. Like the say, the empty brain is the devil's workshop. Delusional thinking starts and they break people down with these thoughts of holding bitcoin for future. It could also have been a propaganda by the no-coiners at one time and seem to come up from time to time.

Google may very well be using blockchain as a technical instrument but their GPay is what they are more involved in developing. Possible that they hold bitcoin but that may not directly influence.

@pmalek
I just now double checked yesterday's withdrawal and it is 0.015 like every week. So it was probably a human error from the staff in distributing the payments. Good thing you decided to let them know, shows the fact that you respect your own reputation and integrity than a small extra bucks made by defrauding a legit casino.

Keep up the good spirits!

I can give you a loan of exactly 0$. Would you like to have that since you are so generous about getting a loan of any amount of this range?

Nice to way to say "scam"

Or you didnt have 1btc worth collateral to pledge so you came to a forum where people can ask for loans but asking a non collateral loan from a newbie account with zero previous trades or reputation is shunned upon.

This is not a beggar street. Visit your local bank or pawn shop if you are in need of quick money. Stop being a jobless bottomfeeder.
