You got to keep your wallet's security top notch, once someone takes hold of it there is no going back unlike banks where you can ask for support.
6002  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto advice needed on: March 19, 2019, 03:41:31 AM
Hi cryptonias I have a friend who is very worried about his portfolio because since 2017 he haven't been able to make huge profit out of crypto cos he has no money to invest and i told him to joined airdrop and bounties ,his worries now is all his coins and tokens are not popular ones  this is his list
1)Apollo currency
2)electroneum
3)senno
4)slate currency
5)avinoc
6)snapparrazi 
Etc all this are make from airdrops and bounties and the highest ones are around 50$ presently the rest are 30$ down ,what kinda advice should I pass onto him?
Well, if you got it from the bounty and airdrop it certainly does not sell these coins , wait for the market to reverse and then sell , I don't think you 30$, these will greatly change your life at the moment
Thing is, before these tokens reach a good price, team would have abandoned the project and he will just become a bagholder. But yeah, $30 is not much so it's just better to hold them and hope for the best.
6003  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: TradeSatoshi locking out users to steal funds? on: March 19, 2019, 03:38:38 AM
If you keep any big sum of coins on an exchange, you're almost more at fault than the exchange. How many pwned exchanges does it take for people to realize to get their coins immediately off the exchange once your done trading.

exactly my thoughts , the users who keep large amounts of coins anywhere but their cold wallets are risking too much
and especially after this many scams/"hacks" , people never learn
on the other hand it doesn't change the fact that scamming others is bad and I hope tradesatoshi is not another bunch of scamming female reproductive organs

It's not that 'people never learn', there are always new people keep coming into the space, when one learns there is another who is new and falls for the scam (and then learns).
6004  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New Bitcoin Movie “Crypto” Shows Hollywood’s Total Misguidedness on: March 19, 2019, 03:36:48 AM
I just watched the trailer, it looks like every other action movie trailer, I can't really see the big fuss some people are trying to make out of this movie, most people who don't hold crypto think, its used for some kind of criminal activity, the movie company are here to make money, so they are making a movie they think people will watch.
I'm looking forward to watching this crypto movie.

Yep, it's a typical plot, they just made that money laundering around crypto and now 'hero' is trying to solve it.

Movies are watched by masses and I don't think this trailer anything showed anything positive about it, so certainly it would bring negative impression.

to be fair we can not deny the fact that a lot of illegal activities have been happening specially ever since altcoin market started growing bigger and a lot of shady stuff have been going on in  exchanges. we all already know that. for example 2017 was a great example of how much scams can easily happen in altcoin market as billions of dollars changed hand in the name of ICO and a big percentage of them were laundering money while disguising it as raising funds for a crypto project!!!

Yes I agree, it's easier to launder money into crypto but it has it has pros too. Regarding that last point, now there are regulations at place to avoid that.
6005  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Transaction problem (Beginner) on: March 19, 2019, 03:26:06 AM
I recently bought Bitcoin from an ATM. I tendered a $100 bill and got bitcoin worth $87.

13 USD for the ATM fee? I definitively wouldn't use an ATM when its so much simpler and cheaper to do it online. I guess that's the price for privacy? But the ATMs should be protected, and video camera covered...

Probably that's why people are hesitant to use direct crypto - fiat ATM's, fees don't make it worthy to use.

Here are the two transactions:

When I bought Bitcoin from the ATM:
https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/624bab58d1468b79fb5fadd420a35440f478e3b1a26be93be5b40355fa8af524/

When I sent to the address:
https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/29aed8d3ced73f59f2c6c58b9b7a5d63cb5191fd66e926e732aa1b20e3ce7923/

It says that both transactions are confirmed but Blockchain.info says that they are not. The Bitcoin has also not gotten to the wallet that I had sent to in the second transaction.

Can you try importing your pvk to other wallet? Problem seems to be on Blockchain.info's side.
6006  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Strange transaction in MEW... on: March 19, 2019, 03:20:59 AM
Ive got a lot of this in my wallet. Actually, I opted to try cleaning my wallet and seeing this irritates me. Hoping that there are some restriction on creating a token cause many people enjoy creating display tokens. I dont know what good they can get from doing this,

AGREED: They want to draw attention by spamming their tokens which is clearly a suspicious way of promoting their project. Be careful as well might some of them have virus attached phishing paraphernalia.

These are not tokens used for promotion, these are just spam tokens from spammers and this tokens can be unseen from explorer side (contact etherscan they will remove it, if it's serious).
6007  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How can some fraudulent people be discouraged from using cryptocurrency ? on: March 19, 2019, 03:17:17 AM
IMHO anonymity in crypto is just a matter of time. If you can see all wallets changing balances this can be analyzed and with low volumes like now, it can be easily solved with different algos.  Another question is the bridge where you can change your money on fiat, where all criminal can be caught.

Exactly, tracking everyone's crypto transactions is time consuming and privacy breaching, just regulate the mediums where crypto gets converted to fiat.
6008  Other / Meta / Re: [POLL] BTT - BCT - BTCT? on: March 18, 2019, 12:11:39 PM
I would go with BTT, because bitcoin's abbreviation is BTC, for unknown reason you remove 'C', so BT and add T at the end for 'talk' word.

Lmfao @myself.
6009  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: $WBB - Wild Beast Bitcoin alt coin ~ huge news *1st in crypto* on: March 18, 2019, 04:20:30 AM
Not sure if there could be any more red flag than that name, however, that bittrex listing made me awe.
6010  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How can some fraudulent people be discouraged from using cryptocurrency ? on: March 18, 2019, 04:09:22 AM
It's quite hard and goes against the basic purpose of cryptos which is privacy,  cash is regulated but it's still used for money laundering, right?
6011  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Strange transaction in MEW... on: March 18, 2019, 03:55:53 AM
It does not seem like a phishing attempt, some people make random tokens or clone of popular tokens for whatever reason.
6012  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk calls cryptocurrency 'brilliant' while predicting end of paper money.. on: March 18, 2019, 03:03:59 AM
End of paper money? that's bit over the top. You can't just abolish something that took years to build, BTC is still very new.
6013  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's to stop a 'Bitcoin 2' taking over... on: March 18, 2019, 02:57:51 AM
There are already coins with better technology than Bitcoin but still people prefer Bitcoin, why? Probably, because when any company looking to integrate crypto, they will add BTC first.
6014  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Transaction problem (Beginner) on: March 18, 2019, 02:54:25 AM
Mind sharing your address/transaction id? Afaik, you can not spend funds that are yet to be confirmed.

I pay around 20-30 cents for my BTC transactions and they get confirmed within 5 minutes.
6015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to distinguish between good and bad projects on: March 18, 2019, 02:45:04 AM
I think you should study the team and the idea of the project. The team now plays a major role because many scammers can change names and release new fraudulent projects.
The most important demonstrators of currency are the whitepaper and the team. While the Whitepaper is given extensive information about what they are and what they will be useful for, the team should have the power to keep project alive.

Most ICOs don't do what they promise in their whitepaper, the difference between imaginary product displayed in WP and real one is huge, like a real horse and a pen drawn horse by 5 year old.
6016  Other / Meta / Re: whats definition of off topic to mods ? or they are just enjoying deleting on: March 18, 2019, 02:39:29 AM
Seems mods have become serious af these days, I got my post count decreased by 15 posts one day (threads got deleted so my posts indirectly) and still get 1-2 daily lol.

Guess, I need to learn to differentiate between spam threads better.
6017  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Got a Job after loosing hope in Bounties on: March 17, 2019, 03:43:16 AM
May be you should find a job you love? Try freelancing. Bounties usually take an hour or two's time. You can keep doing bounties and do other work as well, who knows if you encounter a golden bounty and make a killing in it.

And also having a job in current market helps even though you may hate it. There are people who are willing work but they don't have work.
6018  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I am gonna invest need help deciding on: March 17, 2019, 03:39:20 AM
Why not choose/add steem as well? You can sell votes, delegate steem power or vote yourself — it's one of the best investments around. You don't just have to hold it like many other coins until you are in profit.
6019  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Death Penalty to ICO Scammers! Are you favor it? on: March 17, 2019, 03:34:29 AM
As we all know still exit scam ICO's are victimizing investors including me in my frustration I wish these people be killed or if busted they must sentenced to death Penalty are you favor of it.

Nope, it's investor who should be cautious before investing any money, and when you invest in ICO returns are never 'guarnteed' — you would see something similar in terms when you invest.
6020  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto ATM robed. on: March 17, 2019, 03:32:57 AM
ATM's are used worldwide, if they were 'so risky' it would have never entered mainstream. Usually, there are cctv's around atm's, I guess they will find culprit. Anyway, it was not user's fund that got stolen.
