Nice translation. I have bought a smart watch like that before when I helped a friend to ordered it using my Konga account, Jumia in Nigeria is one of the online stores to buy this type of smart watch, but Jumia has been really disappointed me before, so I prefer to make use of Konga, I can even easily be able to get the phone number of sellers directly on Konga which I can call to make the delivery as fast as possible, Konga store has been the best for me.

About the smart watch, it do has a Bluetooth it uses to get notifications from mobile phones, notification like text messages, email messages, WhatsApp messages and messages from Telegram and the likes. It will be perfect to receive notification from Bitcointalk through Telegram bot.

Please, try to check the last link you posted, I think it needs correction. Or, is the fault from my end?

Q1. Is their any solutions from Bitcointalk Forum team if any project not pay Bounty hunters after completing Bounty and successful?
Scam is not moderated on this forum.

19. Possible (or real) scams and Trust ratings are not moderated (to prevent moderation abuse).

Q2. Is it possible to take action against this type of project together?
The best you can do is to create a flag about the project, also leaving the project a negative trust will be fine. If other members see the flag valid, they will support it.

But know that the money not paid can not be pad agian, only the bounty manager can pay it and if not given, he will not be able to pay for it. That is why it is better to work with a bounty manager that has be escrowed funds to be paid for certain period of time.
6523  Economy / Economics / Re: Elon Musk really has the ability to manipulate the bitcoin market on: May 24, 2021, 07:05:12 PM
I thought that as well as soon as I heard that nonsense about bitcoin not being "green" enough for him.  Dogecoin isn't exactly green itself, yet Musk had no problem hyping that coin up--and yeah, there's no doubt he understood how bitcoin was mined before he publicly lent his support to it before withdrawing it.  It does indeed look like he was trying to manipulate the market for his own gain (though looks can be deceiving, and that certainly might not be the only reason for his quick turnabout).
It is very obvious that Elon Musk is trying to manipulate the market. As we all know he is a man that knows much about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, even if he did not know about Bitcoin mining, we all know how he can easily get information about it and know Bitcoin mining mostly make use of green energy. The man is trying to manipulate and want his favorite coin, doge to be in place of Bitcoin, even if ethereum has been unable to do that, he will try harder but not achieving that.

He says Tesla will be accepting coins that make use of less than 1% of the enegy Bitcoin uses for mining, although Doge make use of PoW too, but it fit into that category, and used the privilege to form together that false news about Bitcoin. The man is certainly manipulating as he may want people to fomo and buy more Doge.

Also this is one of his tween after making such false statement about Bitcoin


6524  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Businesses banning the vaccine. on: May 24, 2021, 05:03:06 PM
The standard three phase trials have been completed. Trials data have been published and are available to anyone. The vaccines are safe. Where does '4 years' come into it?
I am talking about phase 4, and this will last for years. This is the phase the scientists are now, checking the side effect of the vaccine. Phase 3 is good for the administration of the vaccine but vocid vaccine were made in rush which makes phase 4 to be the best. But, I can not even still use it, when no one in my whole state and neighboring stats are having the desease.

For that, you need the vaccine.
Let me quote some important content in a news for you.


Covid-19 vaccines: Why some African states can't use their vaccines

Quote
Despite many African countries struggling to obtain enough Covid-19 vaccines, some have thousands of expired doses which they have been unable to use.

Some countries are now destroying these vaccines, in line with the latest World Health Organization (WHO) advice.

Quote
Malawi has destroyed almost 20,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, while South Sudan has 59,000 doses which it also plans to discard. The vaccines had been donated through the African Union but had not been administered by their expiry date of 13 April.

Quote
The Democratic Republic of Congo, meanwhile, says it cannot use most of the 1.7 million AstraZeneca doses it received under the global Covax scheme for poorer countries. Only about 1,000 of the doses had been administered by the end of April. Most of this batch - with an expiry date of 24 June - is now being sent to other countries, with some already delivered to Ghana and Madagascar.

Quote
The South African government decided not to use them, concerned the vaccine offered insufficient protection from the variant prevalent in the country.

Quote
Nigeria, meanwhile, said it would be unable to use all the doses in time. So some were reassigned to neighbouring Togo and Ghana.

Quote
The WHO says only Togo and The Gambia have confirmed they used all these doses by the expiry date.

And information about what has happened to the rest is currently unavailable.

To read the news in full:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/56940657.amp

I do not bother about the reason why people were not using it than maybe the complain from some people that have used it, such as blood clotting, and the new variant that might surfaced. Although, I may be wrong.
6525  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Businesses banning the vaccine. on: May 24, 2021, 03:07:22 PM
The video is quite interesting. What I know very well about what was mentioned about the side effect of the vaccine is the blood clotting issue, which might lead to other side effects. There has been several cases of the vaccine truly causing blood clotting which is not a mild to moderate condition but severe one. Also there has been reported cases of people that died after taken the vaccine.

The vaccine supposed to take years of experimental researches before giving it to anyone, in my opinion, I see people taken the vaccine now as lab rats because there are still researches going on about the vaccine effect on human body, and this will take many years like 4 or more before solid conclusion can be made.

I am not ready to take the vaccine anyway, and thanks to the fact that no infection cases in my state. And that aside, I am not old, Covid 19 is not killing young people, also it is not killing healthy people.

3. If Bitcoin does not succeed as a global payment solution, how likely is it to still be a store of value?
The mainstream global payment you mean here is not necessary before Bitcoin will be a store of value, but it will help in its adoption. What that matters most is for people to see the real fact about Bitcoin and buy it. Know that Bitcoin is not only a payment means, it is also an asset on its own with its limited supply which makes it deflationary and appreciative in value as it is adopted.

3. If Bitcoin does not succeed as a global payment solution, how likely is it to still be a store of value?
I do think about this at times, like if the whole world just go against Bitcoin, this may lead to even mining industry to collapse, forcing all miners not to mine again, ASICs manufacting companies can be mandated no to produce the mining machines again, and the likes. This can lead to crypto extinction generally, but this will significantly affect people negatively, I believe the governments will not want that.

Some people do not like cryptocurrencies, some people really like it, this can not make crypto ban possible. We have seen in some countries as opposition party succeeded for the presidential seat and crypto that was banned were legalized again.

Like in Nigeria, the opposition party leader that contested as the president even supported cryptocurrencies. If he has been the president by now, I believe cryptocurrencies wouldn't have been banned by the CBN. This is just the politics that is going on in the world, people are not the same, countries are not the same, the reason Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can not be banned. So, there won't be anything like governments coordinating together to ban cryptocurrencies. As some will ban, some will accept, and countries that even support Bitcoin are far more than those than ban it.

Yes, there are ways to exchange bitcoin without centralized exchange.
This is even the best way to go if seeking for privacy, there are decentralized platforms that people do meet to exchange cryptocurrencies like Bsiq, Hodlhold and Localcryptos. There are even platforms like Bitcointalk we can easily trade cryptocurrencies, people that are into crypto for long even know more people they can directly trade crypto with without even using any platform.
6528  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: As a Chinese, talk about my views on the new policy on: May 24, 2021, 09:12:59 AM
Bitcoin was used to counter the regulation of centralized institutions from the beginning, so it will inevitably be cracked down by the government and even criminalized by some governments.
Bitcoin was not used to counter centralized currencies, it is just an alternative. People will still always use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. If the government are criminalizing cryptocurrencies, it is just like they are criminalizing people's privacy.

1. Due to the arrival of the Bitcoin bull market, many Chinese have joined the Bitcoin market, but most of them have never even heard of Nakamoto.
What does this has to mean? Will Satoshi Nakamoto be the one to buy and sell them bitcoin? Satoshi is just the founder of Bitcoin, but Bitcoin is not controlled by anyone or any central authority.

2. The popularity of Bitcoin mining, as Musk said, has had a negative impact on the environment and energy, forcing the Chinese government to crack down on Bitcoin mining.
Elon Musk is a clown misleading people because I know he knows much about Bitcoin but just want to manipulate and make people to buy Doge. I think you need to read this:

Study: Over 74% of Bitcoin Mining is Powered by Renewable Energy

People will not face the fact, when people are using a service and able to pay for the service, is that what people should be complaning about? And yet Bitcoin almost make use of green energy for mining.

We have known China to be absurd, they do not want to welcome anything not from their country, no foreign social media did they accepted in their country, cryptocurrencies were not even accepted before in China till present. Just know that Bitcoin is not controlled by any country, if China force their miners not to mine Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies again, that is just an opportunity for miners in other countries to buy more miners, also the miners in China will move to other countries.
6529  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: how to transfer Ledger BTC to a new ledger wallet (anonymously) on: May 24, 2021, 07:01:18 AM
If your friend's goal is privacy (from an ex or something along those lines,) she can merely send the funds to an exchange that allows HD addresses, like Coinbase.  Then she can reset her Ledger with a new seed (optional) and send the funds back.  They'll be nearly impossible to trace without a warrant.  Wink
Because of how exchanges are, it won't be advisable, although I understood that exchanges can act like a mixer but they are centralized, and controlled by governmental policies. People's dependent on exchanges makes the government to be controlling people to the extent they are trying to even want to have laws that can make them track individual noncustododial wallets people (citizens) are using. Also the exchange will know the address the Bitcoin is sent to, and some exchanges like to freeze users funds is another reason people should be discouraged from using exchanges for this purpose. The reasons I can not advice anyone to use an exchange for privacy purposes, using exchanges will likely result to privacy invasion and must not be included while thinking of privacy.

The best options are to use CoinJoin, like Wasabi wallet do CoinJoin, or making use of mixers, or converting the Bitcoin first to Monero first and converting it back to Bitcoin in a decentralized way.
6530  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What the CEO of a Gold mining company has to say about Bitcoin on: May 24, 2021, 06:05:19 AM
And this has made Mark Bristow, the CEO of a gold mining company called "Barrick Gold" come up with his comparison to question Bitcoin as no store of value to gold.
I am very disappointed people I thought are educated are making wrong and false statements about Bitcoin. How is Bitcoin not a store of value? The people that hodl are able to know the true nature of Bitcoin. If not just that gold marketcap is still stronger than Bitcoin but yet gold has not given riches to people like bitcoin did in the last 10 years. I will not be surprised if Elon Musk can make such wrong statement about Bitcoin because of Doge, to see this kind of news also seeing wrong statement about Bitcoin because of gold, but I that know the real benefit of Bitcoin would have used it multiple times and have enough of Bitcoin before I can consider to buy gold.

He said that while no one can print new gold into existence, people can still make cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin is just one of the thousands of cryptocurrencies that are existing. This makes his statement to be completely wrong if comparing Bitcoin to gold, only gold will be continued to be mined, Bitcoin will not be mined again after the whole 21 million Bitcoin is mined, unlike gold, Bitcoin has a limited supply.
6531  Economy / Exchanges / Re: CoinbasePRO Question on: May 24, 2021, 05:32:26 AM
I am trying to set up a limit order to buy Litecoin, but the system is telling me "Insufficient funds" as if it's not linking to my bank account. I never have this issue on regular Coinbase.

I know the funds are there. How can I resolve this??
The funds are where? The bank? Or you have already purchased Litecoin and want to trade?

Know that limit order does not work that way, you will need to have already purchased a coin already before you can make use of limit order to convert from one coin to another. In the case you want to purchase litecoin, not limit order that will be used, use deposit button, but if you want to convert litecoin to another coin on Coinbase Pro, then you can use the limit order for the trade.

6534  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Can di guarantee complete anonymity of a hardware crypto wallet? on: May 23, 2021, 05:55:44 PM
I only see this as a means to advertise your wallet (entheca), I check online about the wallet review, I noticed almost nothing reviewed about the wallet, this means people are not using it, and it will be very difficult to ask people question about what they know nothing about, it is better to go for highly known and reputed hardware wallet. You also do not even describe anything about the wallet, although I will prefer to go for reputed ones and yours (entheca) has no review yet.

Know that hardware wallet is very safe to use, it is one of the safest wallet, but that does not mean it is 100% safe for people that do not concern about online security and privacy, because there are still malware that can change the recipient address to hackers address when about to send Bitcoin or other crypto on any wallet, but it is we that needs to give our wallet 100% safety.

Hardware crypto wallets can guarantee you not only complete anonymity
It is better to use pseudonymity, and only for people that are conscious about it. There are online wallets that can provide pseudonymity, and there are online wallets like Wasabi that CoinJoin for privacy reasons. Using hardware wallet for pseudonymity is possible, but also possible on online wallets. I think you can just only comment about how safe hardware wallets are and how they store private key offline rather than pseudonymity.

The most reliable and proven cold crypto wallet is Entheca
How is it reliable when people are not using it, please provide good reason why it is even reliable at all. To me, as I did not find much about it online, I do not think this wallet is reliable.
6535  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Blood Pressure, I don´t understand it. But I want to. on: May 23, 2021, 04:26:37 PM
Thanks for replying, so the idea is that your build up plaque that obstructs the flow of blood and pressure increases? Then that plaque breaks and moves into other places causing more trouble?
Yes, exactly. The artersclerotic plague formation itself narrows the blood vessels which triggers blood clot formation (thrombolus), the blood clots travels to smaller arteries, this obstruct the blood flow. This result to high blood pressure that result to hypertension. But this is just during pathological conditions as I explained above.

So, the high blood pressure (hypertension) is not a disease, but indicating a disease that can result to organ damage is present in the body. This can be treated in time if known earlier through medical checkup.

But if not treated, the ischemia (lack of blood blood flow that resulted to lack of oxygen to an organ) causes the cells of the organ to be degenerating leading to necrosis (abnormal cell death) which later cause the death of the whole organ.

I have mentioned some examples above, if the brain is affected and no blood flow to the brain, it will lead to stroke. Before it leads to stroke, the blood pressure would have abnormally increased, leading to hypertension, but people will not even know they have hypertension, the reason we need to check our blood pressure often.

Another example is the cardiac arrest as a result of lack of blood flow to the heart.

Another one is angina.

And another is kidney failure.

If you are interested knowing about angina,  you can read about it.

I would have told you to use ViaBTC to accelerate it, but it can not be used because minimum fee of 10 sat/byte is needed for a transaction to be freely accelerated, but the fee you used is 6 sat/vbyte. Most probably, mempool will be less congested by tomorrow (Sunday), very possible your transaction will be confirmed by tomorrow, but this is just a probability.

Is there just one way to achieve absolute privacy, I did not also mention absolute privacy, I only mention high level of privacy. Also I made mention of wasabi wallet that CoinJoins and also Mixers to achieve high level of privacy while in addition using coin control which can still help while maintaining privacy.
6540  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which transfer fee to pick? on: May 22, 2021, 04:19:40 PM
The mempool is congested for now but that does not mean you can not make 20 sat/vbyte transaction, just make sure that the transaction support replace-by-fee so you will be able to pump it in case it does not confirm in time. If not confirmed in time, you can still decide to wait, your funds are safe, but pump it if you think it is getting too late and needed to be done. I will advice you not to waste Bitcoin on fee while pumping it, if 20 sat/vbyte do not confirm in time, you can decide to you 50 sat/vbyte, but if you are the owner of the sender and receiver wallet, you can just make use of 20 sat/vbyte and wait until the Bitcoin is confirmed if you are not in haste, the transaction can take long, but it will be later be confirmed.
