Life itself (in general) isn't fair. So, why should anyone expect a fair treatment in any deal. I don't think it's going to be. Let me tell you what will happen - some people are going to get super rich with that synergy at the expense of others. That's it.

I strongly applaud your move to go into bounty management. It amplifiers your knowledge of the workings around here and the modus operandi of bounty management. But I will caution that you don't let projects pay you in their ICO tokens. Most of them turn out shitcoins. I speak from experience a reputable manager here relayed to me. The least you should accept should be any altcoins already listed on CMC.

You may want to reconsider on that.

I had wondered when such a direct notification facility would be enabled in a forum like this as I have seen it in some other cryptocurrency fora not as half as big as this forum. Good a thing it's already even here but why we didn't get to hear so much of it before now is a surprise. Perhaps because it's not a Merit/Redtagging adventure and no whinning?

Anyway, there is also the bitcointalk ANN notification on telegram. It has been a great experience using that facility here @bitcointalkanns

Wrong! Most projects that scam are even those with enough media hype.

Another wrong move. The number of participants in a project's bounty campaigns (whether social media or signature) doesn't mean an inch it would succeed. What matters is the number of interested investors to the project.


I dare add - and projects with already existing products

Whatever advice you're given here by random strangers like me should be subject to you DYOR. I hope you know that so you don't quote anyone when things go awry (most times they do). That aside, I think you should look in the way of Walton, Lisk, BNB, XLM (is also a valuable one), LTC (though the price is high now), just to mention a few. These Cryptos are valuable and can stand the test of the bears.

I think it was LoyceV (on post #4) who suggested that everyone on the forum should put up their ETH address on their profiles and that bounty managers should use only ETH address from the profile links submitted for payment when I opened this thread on it Sept 2018 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5025197.msg45451680#msg45451680. That's a plausible solution to this whole scam bounty stuff but BM aren't keying in to that suggestion and that's why this still lingers. I believe managers of the altcoin bounty campaigns are the major cause of forum spamming.

Frankly speaking, if not for the population of China the US would've unbundled them long time ago and force a democracy on them. That aside, I know majority of the people here give a damn about China just for her economic strength, nothing more. Sadly, we have seen how that supposed strength didn't play out catastrophically in 2017 when the Chinese government gave Bitcoin the boot by banning it. What happened? Nothing much, if you asked me because Bitcoin still went ahead and had its ATH that 2017. In fact, the general market cap got to over $800billion (the highest till date). So, China should just give us a break and do its worst. I am less concerned.

It's really sad this has happened but I don't know why people should be withdrawing their coins after the hack despite the assurance that the lost coins will be covered through SAFU. I am a customer of Binance and I believe it's premature to withdraw my coins at this time. Panic withdrawal is the last thing the Binance exchange needs now. Our support for them should wax strong.

There is a reason other cryptos are tagged "altcoins" (alternative coins) while Bitcoin isn't yoked together with them. It's simply because Bitcoin is on a class of its own. There won't be another Bitcoin. A worst case scenero is that we get another coin getting a higher price than Bitcoin but that still won't make it Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a phenomenal and a pathfinder, not an imitation of any coin.

The gains are still extending and this is so refreshing, at least altcoins are coming back to life now. However, it's not a good time to buy in now at almost $6,000. It's already late and buying now will amount to chasing the price (this is a wrong approach in business). Bitcoin is headed for a slight correction from the technical analysis before continuing on the bull run.

How do you take profit for a minor rise such we have witnessed a few days now? I believe it's too early to do such, except to tether it in expectations that a crash will happen. If you take full profit now you will lose out later because whatever the crash now is just a correction. The trend for Bitcoin is bullish. Be careful selling.

Honestly, it's for a stupid reason like this that people keep opening new accounts just to spam the forum. Sometimes when we advocate that newbies shouldn't be allowed to start a thread, it affects the genuine newbies who have genuine questions and concerns. This is the OP's first and only post here and they are simply talking trash. Such order is simply ridiculous to be filled by a single individual.


...Perhaps Mark Zukerberg or Donald Trump(et)

The username reminds me of the ICOForum site that once advertised here last year with huge ETH payout for its signature campaign. On a lighter note, even ICOForum doesn't exist anymore. Sad the site couldn't keep its erection on 

Would you mind introducing your location using the format stated in the OP? That will help keep things in proper perspective and orderly too.

OP, with just 2posts to show for as a newbie your story will be very hard to believe. For posting such a vital information as alleged, it would've been more credible if it had come from a veteran member here. I am a Nigerian and I haven't heard about this except for the Paxful incidence. BTW, the BVN is a vital and private financial information no Nigerian would want to just give out like that. If this is true, that means Nigerians are going to ditch Luno without reluctance.

Why is Bitcoin hitting $6,000 even debatable in the first place? It's a simple matter because we should realize that the reluctance of the market to soar has been cleared up. A fresh wave of interest is now coming into cryptocurrency and Bitcoin is normally the first point of call whenever investors interest rises. For sure, I know the market will blow past the $6,000 psyche level like it's not even there, and I see that happening this week.

Why would someone want to fake their own death in a world of great technological advancement? I doubt this is likely because the CEO will be sniffed out if that were the case. However, what this has come to confirm (after we witnessed the death of another exchange CEO last year) is that exchanges aren't the best of places to keep one's Cryptos. Own your cryptos yourself by keeping them in wallets you control the Private Keys. Imagine if this happens to the CEO of Binance?

This isn't entirely correct. I have seen redtrusted members getting accepted by redtrusted managers and even managers who don't have redtrust. It would be hypocrisy if redtrusted CM don't accept redtrusted posters just by the virtue of the negative trust on their profile without clicking to read why a poster got redtrusted in the first place. Sometimes, redtrust are given for flimsy reasons other that scam it was originally set up to curb. We all know howr insensitive some DT members can be most times with the trust thingy.

With 90% down on your portfolio, there isn't much you can do except pray and hope (that's if you're the praying type) that it turns bull again. You have really cut deep into your capital without any MM (Money Management) in place. This is a bad trading strategy. In fact, it's not a strategy at all. And to say those coins are shitcoins, only the worst can happen right now because shitcoins hardly recover from a crash.

I quite agree with you that the Forex trading industry is a stable one unlike the erratic crypto market. More so, Forex has a daily turnover of over 5trillion dollars while we are still battling with a mere 200billion in the crytoto market. Also, it's easier to understand where the market could be heading and there are certainly no pumps and dumps. We could talk about manipulation but that's a general problem of every business. I prefer Fx to crypto.
