Im aware of that. But do please dont be demanding to me to update any changes soon. I have some real life thing to do as well. I am updating it on the terms of my free time mate. Also, when mentioning details here, like hacken IEO doesnt raise enough fund, what you want me to do? Remove it? As far as you know, this project has an existing project called hacken with token ticker NKN and see where that project listed. Even though they dont have enough funds raised from their new project hacken AI, its not that hard to get some operational cost expenditure on their main project. There are other details you need to look into.

Please do research sufficiently and dont dictate me on what to do here cause I know when to do things here have patience, thank you.

Yeah, their project is now trading on Binance and it did have some good profits for IEO participants. Damn, didnt win any tickets. I am currently looking for some related site cause probably there are more will try to imitate or get closer to this project.

Yeah no problem mate. I just wonder if they got some victims for this. Didnt bother to check up the next step based on the image above. Too scared might have some advance virus hidden or any malware. But as you can see, asking for ethereum address, we might have a clue what's next after that.

Been there done that. Actuallt all those resources by fillippone is really outstanding topics. I did once of his created topic but it took me more than a week to cover translation on my own language, cause in doing translation, you might need to have some knowledge on what you are translating and the hard part there is doing it on your own languge.

This is correct. Having no idea with the works your translating will lead to a worse translation. Damn, your so hard working mate, I only did one but my head aching much already. Haha

@ZaraCB - _{we appreciate the effort, but do it well and dont think about the rewards of merits from this. With or without it, If you really concern on doing this, you must study the topic and do it with your best shot. How can you help your local language if they will be just confuse with it?}

I did read it. A good inspiration indeed. The article is good but I personally like the first two especially the story of Kristoffer. What does it tell us? Have enough courage to risk something your instinct telling you to do so. Sometimes this paid off well.

I wonder whom those famous guys present from day 1 but still doing their thing until now. How about Satoshi? Do you think he is still by any chance into cryptocurrency? I mean aside from bitcoin, did he start anything related to it or a more complete version of it. Just a thought.

I think your promoting a project on a wrong thread. This is gambling topic section where the one you are posted about ponzi scheme. Cloud mining sort of project is not guaranteed and also many people have been scammed by these kind of business.

To good to be true earnings are the most appealing to be scam ones. So I suggest dont promote project like this or you might be flagged as promoting scam projects.

Move this thread to appropriate section but honestly I dont know where this belong.

I will look into it. Today its just posted so give me time to check whether that campaign suits to be here. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the feedback. Ive been careful to let the purpose of the thread be strictly followed. Haha dont mentioned good job, no ones paying me for this. Just an initiative so for those who are going to troll here its fine but as long they can prove that they are worth of showing good project.

Some say dont judge a book by its cover.  Haha but the name is really funny though. Anyway, dont worry as long its good the name doesnt matter but, I will dig in on this one.

They can legalize it considering the profit the can earn from it. As the value speaks, government will likely do legalization of it. Compared to traditional casino, these online gambling sites are also an advantage for those who are not social type of person. Some usually dont want to go to casino and play due to their insecurity that some might think they arent on their league. Well just an observation when I am going there. ( sometime)

People looking for entertainment and in this time of covid this online site for gambling are the best approach for gamblers whose hands are already itchy.

I think 5G will be a trendy matter for this year and coming years. But the advantage Im seeing here benefits the gamers. Of course this group is highly doable for 5G adoption. But for online casinos, even with 4G you can still use some site smoothly even they are using a lot of virtual transmissions or hard graphic UI.

But surely everyone will loves the 5G as increase of speed in every internet people is so important. Im guessing China will be the first that will roll out lots of 5G services.

Baofeng's List of Exposed Scams by Baofeng

Hello Ive noticed this campaign handled by @babo of course I can but I wanted to know or observed first if they will have many rounds or weeks of campaign. If its only 1 week, maybe its not worth it to list it. But the payment structure is okay.

Also Ive noticed that he already requested to reduce the required 30posts which not really appropriate. Thanks for the update.

Hello will the prize for the article is different from the prize of article campaign? Or just mixed up? Can I ask mate if they have an announcement or thread for this contest? Thank you, I feel like I wanted to participate on the article contest.

Thanks for spamming Reported!

The cartesi project has launched their token sale through private and recently announced their IEO on Binance Launchpad so any website or group that promoting another public sale is surely a scam. This site has their own version of token sale. Due to popularity of cartesi this is not new that many will take advantage of their token sale. Beware guys



1 ETH= 10500 CTSI tokens



Site Link Archive: https://archive.st/archive/2020/4/cartesi.tech/rt9l/cartesi.tech/index.html

Additional scam evidence resources from cryptomaniac_xxx



Already confirm with the admins of cartesi and this is a scam site. Dont bother to invest if you dont want to lose your money.

Hi OP, its been a while since I decided to close out my account (withdrawn my funds) on COL financial but lately due this crisis ongoing, I am thinking to buy dome shares rspecially sa ngayon na down ang ekonomiya. Matagal ko ng hinihintay si Jolibee na bumaba and BDO. These are my two dream blue stocks on PSEi list and naghihintay lang ng tiyempo ng good entry for these two. Kasi kahit peso cost averaging method lugi talaga lalo na sa mga starter about 2-3 years ago kasi medyo mataas ang mga value nila.

Well for me you did a good job investing on bitcoin and eth, but I am gonna risk some of my funds for the abovementioned blue chips. I am also eyeing sa mga Telco project lalo na yung kay Dito Communication ni Dennis Uy

Divert funds:
Crytrocurrency holdings:Bitcoin, Eth, Binance
Stocks thru Col financial: JFC, BDO, and DC if ever!
Savings Investment fund: Pagibig MP2
Real state investment: Acquiring condo unit soon

So far ito yung mga target ko I have some na but I am making a budget % for these plans. Well mas maganda maging diverse talaga tayo sa mga plano natin.

Pretty much convince that ethereum was once a decentralized space for cryptocurrency before. However, since a lot happened on their network and much controversy had been exposed with their CEO Vitalik It safes to assume its no longer the case. Remember what does it mean by decentralized? A framework and structure that allows people except government or any central authorities to have control over the network. That contradicts to many claim of ethereum with its activity.

This is a good discussion why we should believe ethereum is not decentralized.

ethereum isnt decentralized and other myths

_{OP I'm pretty sure this thread belong to Altcoin Discussion}

How can you say just because of social media? This is not a totally new project. Its original project is hacken and this is an introduction of their new product. They will start trading on 27th of April, its up to you anyway to join or not. My task( which is free effort) is to find good campaigns that are 70% more safe than a typical campaign. I am not advising everyone to join, these campaigns are all not guaranteed success cause there is no way to know that for sure.

I do hope everyone not only rely to this thread as 100% bounty assurance. I am thinking of stopping this if my choices of projects listed here are got knick knacks on the future.

Im not so sure about the fee but we all knew that almost all dex have some common fees and not far from each issued.

Here is good list mate:

• Ox Protocol
• Bisq Network
• Airswap Protocol
• IDEX
• Bancor Network
• Kyber Network
• Uniswap Exchange Protocol
• Binance Dex
• Forkdelta App

These are some known and currently active. Im not so sure about if IDEX still a dex or not hearing a lot that tis already been centralized. Hope I did help you find a good choice. Good thing that you are using dex, this is a good decision and stay away as much with some centralized exchanges. I did use some but only those allowed to trade without KYC even at low category such as Binance.
