6001  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-10-17]Police Warns Users of New Deadly Ransomware Scam & Urge Not to Pay t on: October 20, 2018, 07:05:22 PM
people always think of malefic plans to steal money from other people, satoshi Nakamoto created bitcoin to help people, but the scammers are messing up the bitcoin image. then we will hear governments and banks say: "bitcoin is used for crimes"; "bitcoin is dangerous, be very careful".

Quote
A new deadly virus known as Dharma is seriously infecting computers ...

I think "deadly" might be a slight exaggeration.

this word scares people, I do not know what their purpose is to use that word

Dharma virus is not new...

But this time the scammers are asking for bitcoin


this virus is as old as a piece of mammoths feces, a "good" old file encrypting virus
as for the deadly , its just one of the clickbait adjectives journalists use (terrifed,happier,deadly,embarassing,costly mistake etc.)
there is nothing deadly in Dharma at most you will get your partition encrypted
also as with almost every ransomware it is simply unreasonable to send any money to the extorter since the files are not going to be decrypted back, they will just  take your money
if you fell a victim to this virus, do not go to some random shady pornsites,pay for a pornhub subscription (kidding)
use free Kaspersky,SVG or Dr.Web utilities - in most cases you will have your data back for example: https://www.avg.com/en-us/ransomware-decryption-tools
 

Only fools would just tend to follow on whats being asked. If the partition is encrypted and you dont have any important files being stored
then its better not to pay at all yet you can simply wipe all of those and reformat into a new one. I agree on whats being said above which
using the "deadly" word is somehow exaggerated for this old virus.

There's a point.

I don't call those people who buy at ATH stupid. They may be experience and just want to ride along with the hype but to the experienced ones, you know where that is heading when the market is on all time high. You really don't buy during that time and its a strategy that we don't want to practice.

That is like buying while the traders are up to dump after the spike. I did it not just once back when I just learned how exchanges works. When I was just new, it always felt good that I already know how these brokers work that even when I am losing it felt like I was involved in the market. This time, I now know when to get in and get out.
Like I mentioned, it's all about the experience.

I guess most of us came through to that point that panic sold and bought during all time high. Its FOMO and that's normal for beginners so I don't laugh at them nor degrading them. Educating others is good if they are willing to know the possible thing to come but experience is the best teacher.
Experience is indeed the best teacher and we wont really reach up to be a professional if we wont able to pass up on this situation.Even myself do commit lots of mistake when im just starting
and now even on this situation i cant still consider myself to be a professional or profitable one but atleast you can still hang on with this very volatile market.
6003  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there ever going to be a cap on ICO's? on: October 19, 2018, 10:24:21 PM
ICO volume is doubling every year:

https://cointelegraph.com/news/pwc-report-finds-that-2018-ico-volume-is-already-double-that-of-previous-year

Are we going to have thousands of cryptocurrencies or what? Is this ever going to end?

I think it'll take an incredible project behind the ICO to be the be all end all. Create a new world order or something.
Take it and dont mind too much on that matter because as long these projects or ICO wont be regulated then expect it would really flood out into the market adding up thousands of coins which
it doesnt really have much usage. I would say 10 coins would be enough with have specific usage or functions i dont even need 100 coins with replicate ideas or whatsoever because those would
be still considered as trash.
6004  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Red market held back New ICOs getting in now? on: October 19, 2018, 06:49:37 PM
The collection of money from ICO projects has decreased very much. This is because of the market situation. New projects appear, but more and more often I notice that projects stop raising funds and return funds to investors.
Current market condition is really a big factor plus the add up of lots of scam projects in the market.It will surely decrease up the accumulation of invested funds into those projects and even the legit
ones would really be mainly affected.If this bear market would continue then its much better to see that gradually projects launch ups would be decreased.
6005  Economy / Marketplace / Re: WHY INVESTORS (INVESTORS) SHOULD ATTEMPT TO ETH AT THIS TIME? on: October 19, 2018, 05:48:01 PM
I invested in ETH and face a huge huge loss into this. I had faith in it but this is one of the worst currency ever. I made a purcahse of $5000 but what I get, after waiting and hoping to get it float, I kept on sinking. Now I get only $800. This is insane!
I wish I have never invested into ETH.
You are in loss if you sold it already but while its on your hands and the market value keeps on moving, you are on losing the market's value with your ETH. Investing only with other coins would make you loss if you don't have bitcoin as your primary investment.

Agree and surely he feel devastated and it's normal and eventually he can cope from it. Just think that you aren't the only one from this as everybody who holds eth also experience this. Well the market is too damn unpredictable so who knows it will bounce back.

So yeah this is not the end so don't lose hope, thus invest some more in bitcoin.
Just charge everything to experience.
No one can give the exact positon of the market and where it is heading if there's someone who's trying to determine how it will recover, I won't believe. But we are looking for that day where the market sits on a stable level where it seem to be a great position and high price for us.

Investing while its on the dip is highly recommended and invest only with the money that you afford to put on risk.
This was i supposed to say on where i dont really believe into technical aspects yet these kind of analysis come either on both TA or Fundas but price can shoot or dump too far away from those predictions
thats why even if we are on this price range.We cant say that this is the support yet theres still tendency we can even go lower on least we expected and as being said.If we do see this as an opportunity then
we should risk the money that we can afford to lose.
6006  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Dumper Thinking on: October 19, 2018, 04:16:44 PM
For bounty, they get token for free. This means they can do anything without being confusing whether selling or holding. Nothing really matters to them. Let's say we want to stabilize the price. However everyone wants to get a profit, so they're getting panic. That's why dump situation happen.
I'll emphasize this, I need you to think wasting money and wasting time differently. It said wasting time is wasting money, but it actually is not as simple as it is.
Wasting time is indeed wasting money.Instead on focusing yourself into things you can utilize it into money making jobs but well we do know on how risky on doing bounty hunting
yet theres no assurance that we would really be paid up.I cant deny that selling your tokens wont really be much a hard decision, once you receive it then selling it directly would be your focus
to get the salary that you have worked for but there are hunters that do hold up a coin which is worth to be hold on an besides price dumps arent always on bounty hunters fault.What about the investors itself?
6007  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are the disadvantages of cryptocurrency exchanges? on: October 18, 2018, 04:56:13 AM
Trading fees and some other transaction fees are the disadvantages of the trading exchanges, these charges are killing the small traders and make it difficult for them to use those good trading exchanges that charge higher fees in comparison to those small exchanges.
Then what would you suggest? Knowing that Exchangers are also businesses and they would really need to profit out from trades. Common fee ranges arent really that high where small traders cant able to cope up with it. I dont see fees are disadvantanges unless if they set out high % then it would be an another issue. The thing i do complain with exchange is that when they do set out KYC since they are following government rules then as a user or trader we wont really have any choice.
6008  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Learning is earning! on: October 18, 2018, 03:58:14 AM

Do you believe me? What do you say?
Basic stuff but most people do fail out to do these things on their first time where if they do saw some significant amount of big earnings from other
people they do tend out to rush everythings up which it would result to loss of money due to they would able to invest into somethings like scams
believing that this is the right way. Experience plus learning will surely lead you to a path of earning money.
6009  Economy / Services / Re: help accelerate btc tx on: October 16, 2018, 08:53:07 PM
It do already have a 1 confirmation or already being broadcasted on the network.Theres no need for you to make use of any accelerators yet the network isnt busy or dumped even you do make use of lower suggested sats per byte. Delays wont really be that much.

Lock this thread since theres no need for this thing already.
6010  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A tip for choosing the exchange. on: October 16, 2018, 07:14:21 PM
Yes, each exchange service allows different commissions to be traded, but I think this is not the only element that should be considered during the election. Services currently taking the highest fee today usually serve with rates of 0.8% and this rate is not too much. On the other hand, it is necessary to take into account a variety of factors such as user density, transaction volume, technical support service and payment speed of services, which allow transactions with low transaction commissions only. Also, the coin pairs offered to us are of great importance at this point. For this reason, I believe that this preference should be made by taking into account the things such as transaction volume, support and payment convenience, depending on the coins we will trade.
Im not really into seeing fees first when i do tend to choose up an exchange because normally they do really range 0.8% or more but not really a big issue on my side same as you said this is not the main preference on choosing up. I do always go after on the reputation and popularity because it is quite understandable if you do use this one it do already have the most things that you do seek for on a good exchange.
6011  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: What's the sole aim of bounty hunter on: October 16, 2018, 06:36:39 PM
Is it to engage in new campaigns  and advertise for them and the next thing vooom....you are out in search of another campaign or is there something else which I don't know about
Thats the life of a bounty hunter. Finding some projects and after that you would need to find another one but be always sure on to search the best ones if you dont like to waste up your effort and time
on advertising them but ending up on having no tokens or didnt get any salary because you have promoted a shitcoin.This is the risk and you should embrace it as a hunter.
We do all aim for money i strongly believe on that.
6012  Economy / Speculation / Re: 2018 Cryptocurrency Crash (Elliott Wave) on: October 15, 2018, 09:53:14 PM
Once any of aforementioned resistance levels are reached, the interrupted downtrend ought to resume towards an initial target of 5200 approx. This would complete an overall A-B-C structure which began on 24-JUL. Taking out the high of 02-SEP would suggest another structure at play.

So your prediction went wrong once again? Price should be sub $5000 by now according to the chart. Why all 30 days predictions you make end up wrong? That is sort of statistically impossible. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
What would you expect? Elliot wave is only applicable on somehow stabilized markets like stocks or forex but applying to crypto market then most likely these analysis would really be destined to be broken  Cool
This isnt new and even upto now we are being flooded by endless predictions made by those so-called experts.
6013  Economy / Speculation / Re: I don't like this stable price! on: October 15, 2018, 08:15:09 PM
I just can't see them buying their tampons with it.
I fully agree.  I'd have a hard time convincing myself to spend bitcoin for something I could just as easily buy with fiat.  For me, bitcoin has always been for keeping.  Cash is for spending.

Neither do I, didnt really see a reason to spend out my BTC just for a thing that i can easily purchase with fiat since we do have in mind that BTC is more worth to be hold on.

ha no $3k or $1500 is not gonna happen. I don't know why anyone would think that would happen. The market has been very clear all year that $6000 is the bottom and any price below that is unacceptable to the market. $6000 is the firmly established bottom of the market, if you want $3000 or $1500 you should have bought the first half of last year.

The price of Bitcoin isn't stable, it is just in the relatively stable phase as it transitions between bear and bull market. This is normal and to be expected. The bear market has ended, the bull market won't begin for a bit longer (maybe by end of this year), so in between the bear and bull forces are cancelling each other out and we get a fairly stable price at the bottom of the market before the next long incoming bull run begins.
Anything is possible with bitcoins price even its already unbelievable to got below into that price points there would be always a tendency yet theres no such bottom price when it comes to it.
We can somehow conclude some stuffs because we have seen theres a strong support on 6k but that isnt a guaranteed thing.
6014  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Yobit exchange- worst case security + support work imho on: October 15, 2018, 07:21:52 PM

So anyone else has had bad experience with exhange account hacks?
Some other examples what could go wrong with your account on not so good exchanges?
Why consider on using Yobit exchange on the very first place? Havent you able to read up the hundreds of complaints do yobit had?
Just been wondering that you are still on luck that yobit do reply your tickets because this exchange is been known that doesn't really answer or having the worst support ever.
By the way, no matter which exchange you do use its always been advisable to set out 2fa of your account and also try your very best to secure your email because once
it would be compromised then expect on what would happen next.

As I mentioned before, I used yobit actively few years ago. they had some alts that others didn't have at that time. So i kept it. I use mostly Kraken, Bittrex and Bitfinex and all have 2 FA activated
Thats an another choice you do have do make specially when you do saw that there are no other exchange that do offer or trade the coin we are holding so we wont really have any choice but to use up this
horrible exchange even we do know that this isnt really good. We do need to risk if we would like to sell our coin holdings on this exchange.
6015  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: $100 price difference between exchanges ... on: October 13, 2018, 03:48:45 PM
Any possible reason for such a difference on bitcoin price between bitfinex and coinbase? Right now around $100 difference https://coinalyze.net/ ...
Yes, its possible but those gaps wont really last long for sure yet these kind of opportunities when theres such price gaps between exchange would really be the best time to make some arbitrage but since you do talk about Coinbase i dont think it would really be that easy but as long you  can able to benefit on those price gaps then it would be worth to try on.
6016  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: professional advertisers please advice on: October 13, 2018, 01:08:53 PM
Hi to all professionals in bitcointalk
recently we launched a blockchain,it is POS/MN and we are working on real project.
as we are in pre-sale stage,we need more help to know how should we do it.
we need some one to help us for attracting investors come to this project
your consult and advices will help us.
Thanks

First, you should make your ANN thread regarding on your project on this board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0

Next, is to focus on marketing because exposure would really be needed to get possible investors to fund up your project but those are still guaranteed yet it will always vary
on your projects potential.Success will really vary on that one.
6017  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you know a shitty ICO on: October 12, 2018, 01:48:32 AM
You can find out if the ico was shitty or like a scam one when you try to filter out the teams, especially finding out their real identities. When you find out irregularities on the ico project, while reading out the whitepaper. And when they are just talk without prior working product.
When you tried out to check reputation or investigation section you will find that most busted scam projects do mostly uncovered by seeing or checking their teams true identity yet there have been lots using others faces and some comes to a point to use up some photoshop ones and using different names and with these things you can spot it out directly.
6018  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency Market Dip - Why You should not Panic on: October 12, 2018, 01:06:21 AM
Control emotional trading, regularly do an analysis of the market (both tech and fundamental) and keep calm mind all the time.
If you happen to be a beginner, reading this post, give our educational pages a read to get a better grip on crypto trading through this link https://www.cryptocointrade.com/education.

This line might really be easy to say but wont really be easily conquered on a short period of time no matter how you do read up some guides. Experience will be the one to gradually ease this emotion
for you to become a good trader which is already aware on possible instances to be faced either on risk management and emotional problems ahead. Its not easy to say to be calm when you see
a declining price but due to your knowledge you can ease it somehow.
6019  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Rewarding signature campaign, are you satisfied? on: October 10, 2018, 10:36:29 PM
Are you participating in a signature campaign? You observe that there is a condition that you have to meet.

(a) You must make 15 constructive posts per week. (b) You must make 10 constructive posts per week! as it may apply. I am not against this condition but the next one is what I am concerned with.

If you don't reach 10/15 (as the case may be) posts before the end date, you will not receive any stake for the current week.

My question is, what happens to someone who makes 9 posts in case (a), and 13 posts in case (b)? Is it fair to deny anyone who has made more than 75% post for the week? Could there be a somewhat reward for such people?

Please share your thoughts. What will be the best way to reward signature campaign?
Rules is rules and whats being stated should really be followed because before you do apply on the campaign it is already understandable that you do agree on the terms posted on op which means if you haven't met the post required then you wont really received any stakes unless if manager do took some consideration but it would be only good on 1 week only and no another chance if you do commit it again.
Once you are on a campaign then follow all the rules then you should be fine. If not then you would simply get "0" stakes on that week.
