My next sections plan to check for good posts are Serious Discussion, Development and Technical Discussion boards and of course on our Local Section.

So this move is planned including some of their employees. Twitter should investigate every single of those personnel they had, they are not sure whose the culprit Im not a negative thinker but I dont want to assume that even them could part of this. No one knows, how could a security breached instantly? Top executives of their firm might be considered as part of it.

This will be due process but I do hope they do, with money collected by this hacked this will not be tolerated by authorities and demand a response from Twitter. It might be hard to track identities of those hackers using blockchain but I wish they be caught.

Oh boy! I saw this Tweet and this address has 35k btc which according to the tweet also belong to the scammer who did this twitter incident.


These guys knows well how to do it and when. Imagine how many people got fooled by using authentic accounts of known people including previous President Obama. I believe this is a group who operates at large scam scale attempt. How could they amass 35k btc that worth $300 million? This will affect the crypto industry, no matter where we viewed it.

Twitter is at fault here and should rectify for those who victimized by sending bitcoins to the scammer wallet.

What Happened:
A twitter aidrop was spotted giving up airdrop by fake QTUM. This is obviously fake. QTUM is a big project and will not do this kind of method for giveaway. The real twitter account has 180k followers while the fake only have 1.3k followers, still those figure are huge for victims of this account that wills end their details.

Fake QTUM account: https://twitter.com/_qtum_?s=09

Eth address for selfdrop:


So far none has been victimized yet. Just checked on etherscan:

Mentioning that there will be incentives of BTC there would be fine, but requiring them to post or replied with prizes should be on another section appropriated. You can post here: Games and Rounds As long as its not any altcoin it will be okay.

Im not sure if pure games platform can be accepted on Gambling announcement so I suggest Project Development since its more like you are developing a new platform right. What kind of games we are talking here?

Are there still size limits on image posting

Hi enlarge a bit the size. Using mobile, so Im not sure what does it looks on PC for other users. You need to zoom out a little for phones, not reallt hassle. I just dont want to put too much size.

People learned already and instead of wasting money on these kind of investment scheme, they should buy coins that has potential and trade it. Or other's with good staking program that are legit.

I agree, typical ponzi scheme. I wonder how much their capital spending for creating such project like this.

Hello thanks for the support. Created the flag feel free to support, just passing by on the bounty section and noticed this suspicious project so I decided to dig a little.

What Happened:
A new platform asking giving away free airdrop tokens and ethereum worth 0.04eth upon registration. To my curiosity I used a dummy email to register and see whats inside of the platform. And as suspected another ponzi scheme to scam newbies.

They will asked for a deposit worth $10 with supported different coins such as bitcoin, ethereum, doge and many more and after 5 days they will give your deposited plus profit very easy money and highly suspicious that could be resulted to scam.

Same bro! With my lifestyle, I assume at age 60, I dont think I can still do what JetCash can do on the internet. I highly salute this guy, for doing internet at his age. The kids now at young age already got some reading glass for too much internet, imagine if they reach that age at certain point.

Jetcash is a living proof that age doesnt matter to technological advancement.

Looking forward for more of your intellectual thoughts. I had fun reading most of your topic on serious discussion section.

Since its not spamming the reason, most likely plagiarism. There is message enclosed on the warning "You are permanently banned due to spam or plagiarism"

Given the details by @Bitcoin_Arena, that is the reason why she is banned. I thought due to the spam reported post that move to off topic. but its now crystal clear.

Aside from forsage ponzi scheme here is someone in our Local board share also the same style and possibly could expand like whats happening on forsage too. But I do hope, we warned others about this new one called LionShare. ^{Thanks @LogitechMouse for sharin this on our local community.}

I doubt our Filipino communities who eagerly wanted to earn will listen to such warning once more. Hope they not ignore these precautions

Did you say cloud mining? Opps be careful on joining on this kind of platform. They hold the authority to hold funds that even on blockchain are confirmed on their platform and lock your funds on their their platform.

Used "replace by fee" method to increase the fee of your unconfirmed transaction.

What wallet did you used to send your funds?

Here is a good guide or steps to actually do it.
