581  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain and Bitcoin adoption globally. What is the cause of the slow pace. on: September 24, 2020, 02:49:36 PM
I don't call it a slow pace. There are of course government reluctant to promote crypto and a lot of conservative attitude from private sector as well, but the level of recognition and popularity cryptocurrencies have got is impressive in comparison to other revolutionary technologies. The technology itself is in its early stages and still a lot to improve for use and user experience. I believe the 2nd quarter of this century would revolve around blockchain and cryptocurrency.
582  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anyone know a dice game that is actually fair? on: September 24, 2020, 10:07:04 AM
There are many dice and gambling sites that sticks to their house edge and does not change anything depending on the users or results.
Every sites with a legit crypto gambling foundation badge are provably fair and some others well know sites that are not on the foundation yet know for their fairness. An unfair site would not survive for long and if you encountered any old gambling site with a good number of users, you could be sure it's provably fair.
583  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: private key doesn't work on: September 24, 2020, 01:23:29 AM
It did happen with me. I had some coins and a private key for backup. When I entered the private key on electrum, I was surprised to see my  balance zero. And after some seconds of shock realized that I haven't received anything and my receiving address was unfamiliar. So, I google some questions and found out that same private keys could have different wallet for segwit, native segwit and non-segwit. And I need to put p2wpkh-p2sh: (address starting with 3) or p2wpkh: (address starting with bc1) in front of the private key to access my wallet in electrum.
584  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I need advice about my portfolio, can someone help? on: September 20, 2020, 11:29:21 AM
Everyone has their own preference and perception about the coins and the three you chose are one of the best to have in the portfolio. I'd suggest you to do more research and find a couple of more good coins to increase your diversification and decrease the holding of ETH and LTC a bit to include those coins. 50% for BTC is an ideal solution as BTC is a less risky investment than any other coins.
585  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How can we convince those countries that see crypto as illegal? on: September 19, 2020, 04:00:36 PM
Cryptocurrency is far moving into many countries, even though some countries are just yet neutral about it, not seeing at as being legal or illegal. One of them is my country, wether it will be turned against by the government or embraced is in the hands of the users, as much as there is no bad new of fraud,scams....we are still on the safe side.some countries are still very much against it Algeria,Bolivia,Ecuador,Bangladesh,Nepal,Macedonia they disapproved it as illegal. Is their any thing we can do to make them accept it?.

The main reason governments are against the crypto use is the taxes. Many people are using crypto to invest and save without paying taxes to their government.
No country can absolutely stop crypto use. But they can make it harder to trade and use. And I am familiar with the situation on some countries listed, they have a ban on crypto trade but not on it's holding. Just how the China does.
586  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ClipX steals KYC data and shuts down on: September 19, 2020, 10:14:39 AM
It's still unfortunate that projects are asking for Passport verification from the bounty participants as there are many more ways to verify the their identity. And in the case of Clipx, the already knew they were below the cap and yet they went through collecting data from users. It would be no wonder if there's a news that they didn't returned any money to the investors. Users ans investors themselves needs to be aware to protect themselves from such scam attempts.
587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: September 17, 2020, 01:53:17 PM
That's sound like a good option, every board should stand up against BCCI and force ICC to ban India from the international cricket, so what if BCCI generates 70% of revenue and brings more on the table. I am sure all cricket boards and ICC won't mind reduction of funds once BCCI gets kicked out from the Int community.   Roll Eyes Shocked

The ICC needs BCCI, as much as the BCCI needs ICC. But that doesn't mean that the BCCI should be given lion's share of ICC revenues, at a time when some of the smaller boards are facing bankruptcy. None of the other sports bodies such as FIFA or FIH follows a similar model. They divide the revenues equally, without thinking about from where the revenues are originating.
BCCI share already took a massive hit but anyway what do you propose in new policy, ICC should follow the FIFA's model?

NZ population is 5 million
Ind population is 1.35 Billion

Sure, kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

What we all need to accept is Cricket is a regional sports. And with the franchise league, we have commercialized it much more than most other sports. People are no longer interested in a quadrennial 50 overs world cup. They want quick and entertaining action, that be complemented in the duration as a regular movie.
India generates the most direct and indirect profit for cricket. ICC is BCCI.
Though I still wish they'd spend more on developing and spreading cricket around the world, but it's their choice, people can live without cricket.
588  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: India will Implement Law For Prohibition of Crypto Trading on: September 17, 2020, 11:45:57 AM
Just like any other countries, most of the members of parliament in India would have no knowledge about crypto and what its worth. If the bill is placed by the government, they'll just blindly sign it. But banning crypto isn't a very good idea for a government as we've seen many country try to do it, fail and settle for somewhere in between. The bill would just make it difficult to cash in and out but would not stop the adoption and use.
589  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Binance sued for money laundering over stolen bitcoin. on: September 16, 2020, 05:15:03 PM
Obviously that had to come into limelight since the total amount is about $15.2 million which is a lot. The 2 BTC unverified withdrawal limit was considered good since it helped to keep the anonymity aspect of bitcoin safe but hackers have used it to their advantage and I am quite sure now that the lawsuit is raised this limit will be removed too. Now onwards people will have to do a KYC just to create an account on Binance and I guess other exchanges will follow the suit.
Binance should have thought a work around for such an attack earlier since it is quite obvious that even if a hacker tries to create 500 fake accounts and uses 2 BTC unverified withdrawal for each account then he will be able to withdraw 1000 BTC without any KYC.

It looks like there would be no exchanges left that would allow users to exchange without KYC. With giving so much value and importance to bitcoin, it's sad to see an important expect of it dying. Though no one is forcing anyone to use such exchanges but when you have no means left to buy and sell your coins and your funds are all legit, you'd be compelled to give up your identity as that would be the easy way to do it.
590  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need help regarding DAD token on: September 16, 2020, 04:25:42 PM
-snip-
According to the history and using the search button on the group.

They really have so many token from different platform like NEO or EOS but the question contain about swapped this both of token. However, the team responding still preparing a "swap function" for old DAD Token.

Source : https://t.me/dad_official/189005

Thanks. That's exactly the answer I was looking for. My search didn't yield any good explanation and I knew this is the place where I'd get it. Looking the topic as it's solved.
591  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / [Solved]Need help regarding DAD token on: September 16, 2020, 04:05:01 PM
My friend have a good amount of DAD token in his NEO wallet, according to him it had the same icon as the DAD token being traded on some popular exchanges. The problem is the DAD token that's been trading is a ERC20 token. As I looked for the DAD token, it has something to do with the neo Blockchain but am not quite sure if they swapped the token or the token exists on both the platform or even the DAD tokens my friend been holding is worth anything?
If anybody have a faint idea about it, please advice, it's me who had introduced him to the crypto world and he expects me to have an answer. Sad
592  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Sent USDT To ETH address on Coinbase, but coinbase doesn't support usdt! Help on: September 16, 2020, 02:16:18 PM
As the title says i sent USDT to ETH address from Coinbase i own and funds didn't arrive of course but now i can't retrieve them and support is saying that in my region they can only support self help so no help from them.
If i had private key i could somehow retreive it but i see they don't provide that so i don't know what to do...any help would appreciated. Thanks

The only one that could help is coinbase. Write to them properly of what that amount mean to you. They ofcourse have the private key of the ethereum address and can retrieve the coins but you also need to provide them the proof of ownership of those coins. It also depends on the amount involved. Anything below $1K would be more burden than fruitful for both you and the coinbase team. If it's a significant amount and the support is not supportive, try writing to coinbase employee explaining yourself to get the attention.
593  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Just (JustSwap) another defi to exit scam on: September 16, 2020, 04:24:51 AM
Just defi which was been advertised a lot by both the tron team and wallets like tronlink and block explorer like tronscan supposedly is not giving users their withdrawal. It was hyped a lot among tron community and even I was considering an investment. This is another big blow for my interest in tron ecosystem as most of the projects they come up with ends up a scam.

594  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum Classic was hit with another 51% attack on: September 15, 2020, 04:01:43 PM
I did expect it, honestly, it had 51% attacks in the past too. I still don't get why people buy those shitcoins. The thing that concerns me is why isn't the coin's value = 0 (yet). If I knew that my confirmed transactions can be change in the future, I wouldn't give for that coin not even a cent.

This has became quite an old news but it's effect are still visible with the ETC network. The two back to back 51%  attack has made the blockchain nearly unusable, services and exchanges are asking for 200K confirmations before crediting the coins which takes multiple days. Even the low scale GPU miners of ETH are out of choice, ETH too is soon shifting towards POS.
595  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Storing your Crypto in Exchanges is better than using Cold Wallets! on: September 14, 2020, 02:05:41 PM
If you are not concerned about your privacy and you can trust the exchange you are using (can bear the loss involved in case of exchange being a scam or exchange face an unrecoverable hack), an exchange could be a better option with all those email and 2FA verifications for normal users. But if you are investing in the future of coin and know what you are doing, it would be much safer to take things on your own hands.
596  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum Fees Rise 70% to Continue Record-breaking Streak on: September 13, 2020, 03:10:46 PM
The current rise in ETH fees are disadvantageous to the already defamed image of ethereum as a platform token. Smart contracts breaks when they don't have enough fees, people would spend more on transaction than what they are trying to achieve in dapp. It is destroying any surviving gambling dapps on the platform. The ETH 2.0 better be good enough to redeem the network, if not, there's no future for Ethereum.
597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there any truly safe bets in sports betting? on: September 13, 2020, 12:52:27 PM
Odds are all about risks and rewards. The gambling operator are not betting on win or loss or anything would happen or not but are actually matching people with different opinion and taking a commission on the process. Gambling odds are determine by the user and the amount they gamble with. The lower odds means large number of people believe the team or person would win, that defines a confidence. But going low risk would yield you less and for a 1.01 odds, you need to be right 101 times without being wrong to make 0.01 profit.
598  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: FAKE GIVEAWAYS IN DISGUISE AS BINANCE on: September 13, 2020, 11:46:18 AM
The scammers are at their game like we experienced in the bitcoin Hacking some weeks ago. This time around, they're disguising as binance using the same template they used when Elon Musk's Twitter account was hacked.
They supply this link https://futures-binance.org/ which if you follow takes you to a medium page requesting you to participate in the giveaway. It is a big scam. Don't fall for it over again.

There are a lot of scammers now more than ever. Im not expecting any less from crypto. But i just dont understand these people, investors are just people trying to realize their own fortune but scammers just go ahead and ruin that.

There are these fake giveaways and send me x amount and I'll send you 2x to your wallet address on both twitter and youtube.  They are often posted by legit looking accounts with millions of followers and subscribers. Anyone encountering this for the first time would not suspect it in the first glance as the account looks legit but it's wise to do a bit of research before sending anyone your money. It's better to not get free coins than to lose yours. And for the most part, someone giving you free coins would never asks for 100s of dollars worth of coin at first.
599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto gambling sites should be careful of bringing eSports in on: September 12, 2020, 02:13:36 PM
I think it's not just about the age but also due to the nature of esports. It's totally technology based and not everything is as visible as on other sports. You can easily fake of not looking and something or somewhere and no one can capture every players and characters. The people involved in esports are mostly expert in technology and mostly don't have a social sporting environment as other sports players does. They are not generally accompanied with other staff. But again a gambling company do profit from margin and not the win or loss. It's the gamblers who need to be aware of it.

If this was a movie it would called "the return of the mark" or the  "greatest come back" who inspired or however this decision was reversed is just divine. Not seen anything like this in crypto. I just like the fact this is a precedent to those that have scammed people. This is really good for crypto space.

What could have he thought when disappearing. Certainly the persons intention were not good. If he just disappeared without any communication or update. And why he is back after so much devastation in the price and reputation. He might have evaluated his chances and consequences and decided it's better to give up and return the money than to live a life in fear.
