It's time we get some updates in this thread.
I present to you How to do English in multiple colors and stuff. Special characters - so much, quotations and punctuation marks - oh yes please.
Extraordinary!

I PMed him like I said he would. I am sure he read the PM and saw the link in it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have distributed all those merits in this thread. He probably doesn't think this is even something worth discussing.
Honestly, OP should just lock the thread. @FunctionalFedora lock it up!

This is just a sad combination of words that resemble meaningful sentence-like structures.

You can't compare a crypto casino to regular fiat-based platforms who adhere to strict regulations. People involved with crypto don't want strict control. They especially don't want to undergo KYC. Requiring KYC after a big win is an excuse that many platforms use unfortunately. But again, due to a lack of regulation, that has become a normal thing in this space.

I don't think you should expect too much. You let your guard down and you gambled. Would this thread have been created if you won $70.000 instead of the $7.000 that you lost, for example? I don't think it would.

An exception could surely be made if the staff decided that it would be a good idea to approve this proposal by the OP. I doubt it though. Something like the WO thread that has its own set of rules (or no rules).

We have strict moderation in the Mining boards. Many people don't like it, but try and post something with no value, discuss something off-topic, or about GPU-mining and you will see what happens. A moderator can be strict if he chooses to. The Press board is a place where a firmer hand would be welcome.

That might be too complicated. Instead, whoever moderates that place can just ban those from the sub who spam and don't respect the rules. We have seen that being done in the Technical Bitcoin subs, when the mod decided to sanction certain members by removing their posting rights.

Upravo to. Taj auto-run i jeste najznačajniji u cijeloj priči. Kod instalacije legitimnog softvera računar se buni i pita da li ste sigurni i da li vjerujete pošiljaocu datoteke itd. Mislim da metu napada ne čine korisnici Mac i Linux distribucija. Vjerovatno je ciljna publika samo Windows. To onda donekle pojednostavljuje ono što se treba isprogramirati. 

Jel to ovaj korisnik > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=13137?
Sudeći po onom pozitivnom dojmu kojeg mu je Hhampuz ostavio, to je Grumlinova kampanja. I on nosi njihov potpis. Za svaki slučaj pitaj Hhampuza pa vidi šta on kaže.

Jedina stvar koja me buni je da se ta kampanja u kojoj si ti zove ARCONA, a Hhampuz spominje ARORA-u. Da li je pogrešno napisao ili su to dvije različite kampanje ne znam...

Edit:
Izgleda da je ipak promjenjen potpis a novi je u OP-u.

Najgore je to što članak navodi da i bez pokretanja neke zaražene datoteke, taj Echelon malware može da nanese korisnicima štetu i da šalje screenshotove vaših aktivnosti hakerima. Da li to baš tako jednostavno fukcioniše u praksi, ne znam. 

Telegram ima i svoju web verziju. Koristili li nju neko od vas koji ste na Telegramu? Da li i ona funcioniše na isti način kada je u pitanju automatsko preuzimanje sadržaja, i da li se te opcije mogu isključiti i podesiti?

Stake shouldn't have sent you those emails, that is true. But ultimately, you decide what path you will take. Apparently, you aren't strong enough to make that decision yourself. It was just a matter of time before you would slip up. If it wasn't due to an email sent by Stake, it could be because of a billboard you see in your town, an ad on TV, or an offer somewhere online. Seeking professional help is the right way to go about it. That together with the help of those close to you can make a change.

Hope you get those personal issues sorted out and you become a stronger person who knows how to say no. 

Good Luck!

What possible reason could you have for asking 3 tbtc and not 0.3 or 0.03? If your tests are successful with 0.03 tBTC (or an even smaller amount), they will be equally successful with 3 or 300 tbtc. The rules of the game don't change the more Bitcoin you have to transact with.

I think mocacinno was lending people tBTC in the past. No idea if he is still doing it or if he would work with you because of your negative tag.

I agree that CoinMarketCap is a good starting point to get some basic information about a certain coin. Besides the official website, CMC will also suggest you blockchain explorers, a link to the source code, audits, social media, etc. But all that should be taken with a grain of salt. Don't trust the info just because it's on CMC. Compare it with other sources. CoinMarketCap can get hacked (and has been hacked) like any other site. Information can be intentionally changed to trick unsuspecting users.

When we are on the subject of self-inflicted bugs and exploits, have you seen the movie Money Monster? It's got nothing to do with crypto. It's about the stock market, but still an interesting watch.

Someone? It depends on who that someone is. If it's a person you know and trust, it could have been a legitimate proposal. But if the person is unknown, you might have actually saved yourself from losing $50.000 and maybe making that person rich. Investors don't really go around and ask random people to invest together with them.

Wow. Last time I checked, EZ0010 had less than 90 merits, and that was not a long time ago. It looks like he will have the merits of a hero member in a few weeks, but the activity of a newbie.

I fixed it for you a bit. "Excuse" makes it sound like me made some kind of mistake or that his actions are contrary to expected and normal behavior.

That reminds me how back in the day FortuneJack sent me 0.15 BTC as a signature payment instead of 0.015 BTC. Someone somewhere didn't pay attention to the zeros.

Why would you trust a random Telegram user/owner or whatever he is? He is probably paid to shill for the casino or is part of the scam as a team member or in some other function.

Do you have any proof to back this up? Screenshots, logs, anything to verify your story?
If it's genuine, sorry for your loss, it really sucks. But if you are that easily deceived, it was just a matter of time before something like that happened. You don't just go and deposit €200, €300, or €500 on some site because someone told you it's safe. Newbie or not, that's a completely wrong approach to your financials. If someone approached you on the street and told you about this great investment opportunity that would only cost you €500, you would probably think it is a scam. The online world is just like that, but nastier and more dangerous. 

Questions were raised on the forum how canibalism13 and his team used the funds donated to their donation, but is anyone asking what does WikiLeaks or those representing themselves as WikiLeaks do with the money that is supposedly donated to support Assange? Are they transparent with the money that is spent?

I think Julian Assange will be extradited to the US sooner or later. They have such a hardon for him that they aren't going to let him slip away. Those who really want to help, should better contact the team that legally represents him - Birnberg Peirce Solicitors. Ask them how to help...

Nah, that would go against the whole freedom-providing philosophy of Bitcointalk. And besides, there are different ways to look at those questions. Especially the one about what Satoshi would say if he/she came back. If you think today's forum is worse than what it was in the past, you might look at that question and see it as provocative. On the other hand, if you don't remember the atmosphere on the old Bitcointalk or you think this one is the same or even better, that's just a normal question.  

 

So krogothmanhattan hasn't said anything here. But his response to the question why he is giving merits in his own thread to people who support him and say nice things about his service was to give merits to people who spoke about him giving merits in his thread. Legendary!

Interesting discussion and a great source of information for anyone who wants to learn different ways to cheat the system (aka other people, services, and merchants). Sticking to one of the oldest rules in the Bitcoin book still does wonders. Don't release goods before the transaction has received multiple confirmations. Since there is doubt that 1 confirmation is enough, wait for 2, 3, 6, etc.   

Is that a brand-new screenshot of the software synchronizing or did you have it somewhere on your computer from before? What version of the wallet do you have installed? It's a good thing that it's synchronizing, which means that it's most probably not corrupted (at least for now). If you are planning to keep using Bitcoin Core, you are going to have to download the entire blockchain and wait for the wallet to fully sync. You need to download the latest version as well like LoyceV pointed out. If you don't want a full-node, you can dump your private keys and import them into an SPV client like Electrum. Electrum doesn't require that you keep a copy of the whole blockchain on your hard drive.  

I would be cautious sending money towards Wikileaks and their "cause" of freeing Assange. Check out this thread of a guy who donated $5.000 instead of $50. He was trying to get hold of someone to tell them about his mistake. He has been unsuccessful so far. Besides that, someone who is in some way connected to one of the Telegram groups accepting donations advised him that he can create his own campaign and accept donations! Who knows which of those activities are genuine and which ones are for filling some scammer pockets.

krogothmanhattan has so far not responded in this thread. Not that he really needs to do that. It's not an accusation, and even if it was, he has no reason to justify his actions because he isn't doing anything bad. Since he might not even be aware of the existence of this thread, I will PM him a link to it so that he can say something if he feels like doing that.
