6601  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will the gambling addicts do now that the casinos have closed? on: April 13, 2020, 05:16:22 AM
The cops have raided a couple of such illegal casinos and arrested dozens of people who were indulging in gambling. I guess hardcore gamblers are taking this risky step, as they don't find online gambling exciting enough.
They should be reminded that crowded place such as casino is totally prohibited. Well they do deserved to be jail or pay any fine for doing so. People nowadays cant really control themselves with regards to gambling addiction. They should push themselve that online gambling site is the alternative for their daily gambling routine. Well if thats not enough then its their own problem already.

Not really much choice on OP's question but do online or yet just totally stop.

Oh my God! This is totally inhumane business, I am not sure why these people keep creating a known scheme for scamming newbies? Maybe the income is really big. The point is, newbies should 100% avoid all these kind of too good to be true profits. Money doesnf grow on trees easily, so why risk for something like this.

Thank you very much OP. This will serve as warning dor those who are planning to invest with. 21days with 1500% is totally a great profit if its real. This could be earn on trading if they learn how instead of feeding those scammers.

6604  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which will do better in this Economic Crisis ??? BITCOIN or GOLD ??? on: April 12, 2020, 06:41:19 AM
One thing is both have. They both have limited supply. In terms of usage, I am not sure there is a competition here. Well as you can see gold has been used on so many important sector and can be used as currency backed up too. But still, you cant ignore potentials of bitcoin that it can also weight the same value of gold in the future. In the modern era that we have living now, use case is important and few years from now, I am seeing a bright future for digital currency as almost important such as gold.

If you think some will be driven out due to a crisis happening, well they are not out of their mind but seeing an advantage to own now and not regret later that they dont invest at a time that it is now cheap.

If you have a reputation already outside the forum for managing giveaway or some sort of campaign then maybe you can have a chance even at your current status here. Though some say, you need reputation here because a newbie cant easily get a client out here. Trust is valuable here, so unless youve been handling a campaign before or you are a known figure, you still need to be visible here as reputable before got noticed.

Like what others have mentioned. This is not an easy process, but do your thing, who knows you can be like most reputable and trusted manager here too.( if your persistent)
6609  Other / Meta / Re: What are "reserved" posts? on: April 12, 2020, 05:03:56 AM

Isn't that what the edit function is for? Why avoid editing the original post?
Yeah it is, however for some authors they preferred a segregate post for another update for the topic they first posted. For example: On a campaign, they usually tend to give follow up news or put some valuable information on that "reserved post" leaving the original one untouched. Why its sometimes hard to edit or add some coded paragraphs or images to a set up post or ann thread. That's only in my opinion. Or they just wanted to make a neat OP. Why so concern about this anyway?
6610  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Cryptocurrencies can now be send without the use of internet. on: April 12, 2020, 04:51:28 AM
Im just amazed with this news that an exchange on Venezuela can now send crypto without internet and only via sms text messages. To be honest this is a major step up but of course we cant deny that risk is associated with this method.


You can now send crypto without the internet in Venezuela, a local exchange has revealed. The exchange enables users to send crypto through a simple Short Massaging Service (SMS). This is a strategy to spur adoption.

The revolutionary SMS based crypto payment has been developed by Criptolago exchange. This is a strategy to grow crypto adoption in a country where internet penetration is still a nightmare. Transactions do not need users to be connected to the internet.

The exchange says the innovation came amid calls from Nicholas Maduro, the President for local firms to come up with solutions to alternative payment methods. The President’s vision was for a country where users can transact using offline payments ecosystems that are also compatible with the local currency; Petro.

With this innovation, Im thinking it still has risk for users though this advancement is truly revolutionized in the blockchain. For example cases like these:

  • Mobile got stolen by someone who knows its working on their country
  • SMS is probably vulnerable somehow, what if hackers can bypass the system of sending message through another reciepient?
  • With the system, probably blockchain isnt gonna move faster than using traditional address to address as it uses an encrypted text messages and might got some error.


Anyways, lets just think of it as starter and those flaws might be solved with additional security protocol in the future.

6611  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Coinomi wallet on: April 11, 2020, 08:26:35 AM
PROS
  • Supported multiple coins and tokens(thats all)

CONS:
  • Coding is not open source(red flag)
  • Lots of bugs on their app
  • High fees
  • No fiat gateway compared to most multi wallet exchange
  • Bad support and very long time to attend to errors and bugs

Im not sure what else this wallet have. But as far as I know many complained has been raised. Ive used this once but I have a coin that's gone suddenly. Well support has been contact but none response at all.


Trusted wallet? Not gonna fall for that.
6612  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How Is Bitcoin Blockchain Different From Altcoin Blockchains? on: April 11, 2020, 08:11:10 AM
What I really desire to know is how does the bitcoin blockchain work differently from altcoin blockchain and what are the core programming technologies behind it?
Since you mentioned it. There is no prime difference how blockchain of bitcoin works differently on altcoins. Satoshi's goal in layman's term is to create a peer to peer enviroment that doesnt restricted by such authority or entity. Like what has been explained by @pooya87 this is major building blocks that linked together called chain. Now for these chains to connect we execute transactions that has been systematically recognized in a network.

Difference to other blockchain will be restricted to speed, weight, algorithm and scalability of their using consensus.  But if your looking for more detailed comparison you can refer to this simple guide. What is Blockchain Technology - A step by step guide for beginners

Yeah should list these two projects Lead Wallet and DogData(IEO will launch on Bitforex).            
As far as I know only DogData will be listed on Bitforex, I didnt know Lead Wallet also? Im not sure about the details. Of course I browse already these two projects and of course I am looking on the bright side why should I list those youve mentioned.

First, DogData, I know they can be listed on a good IEO but referring to their objective I am thinking also if the chance of getting succesful of the project itself can be seen. Im not judging the project, but do you honestly believe that this use case will triumph later on?(not judging but lets be realistic) Trading, yes thats how IEO project works.

I am more confident than Lead wallet but its redundant already as too many wallets are there. Anyway. I appreciate the response.

All of it are nice warning OP and I understand why you suggesting these cause a lot of people have been drowned on gambling and wasted their life. Fair judgement but of course there are also reason why those people loves to gamble. If this one is really bad why there are lots of it? Of course its all about business and money right?

I cant blame those who are doing gambling cause actually this is their comfort zone or entertainment ro relieve stress from work or business they are running into. It's just some people way over the enjoyment and proceed to addiction level already.
6616  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Canada include the bitcoin. on: April 10, 2020, 09:00:41 AM
Forgive my cynicism, but I don't count this as "adoption".  Trading these speculative assets is not the same as transacting with actual BTC.  People aren't learning anything about Bitcoin when they're dealing with something more analogous to stocks and shares.
I guess you have a point. Well they did add bitcoin on their official stocks exchange, but the fact that the addition of bitcoin doesnt mean they are learning something about it hence it more goal is to expand the trading above the stocks they are currently doing so.

I am not negative about this news, but somehow this can wider the visibility of bitcoin as it will be known on their country. Just do hope those can appreciate it are those outside the trading circle and instead focusing on trading it going to use it like we all want. Natural adoption for bitcoin.

One of the famous Mayor on Metro Manila Isko Moreno will be giving out a lot of rice subsidies sa mga kababayan natin check out the news. This is one thing Filipinos are expecting from our Politicians.


At least 571,000 families will receive rice subsidies from the Manila City government next week amid the COVID-19 crisis.

In a statement, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno announced that 50,000 sacks for rice, which is equivalent to 2.5 million kilos of rice, are ready for distribution to the families affected by the enhanced community quarantine.

"We are trying to stock up on basic goods, particularly rice, so we entered into a contract with [the] National Food Authority about two weeks ago. This is going to be delivered by next week in their respective barangays,” Moreno said during the inspection of sacks at Pritil Market.

The Manila Mayor said at least three kilograms of rice will be given to each family.

“But it is better na [may] sobra para maakap namin hangga’t maaari ang lahat,” he added.

As of April 10, the Manila city government has distributed food packs to at least 235,000 families.

In addition, the Manila city government has also earmarked a P571-million budget for the City Amelioration Crisis Assistance Fund (CACAF)  which grants P1,000 cash aid to each of 500,000 families residing in the city’s 896 barangays.

I want share new one legal project (basic finance) with already start trading in bithumb exchange. I want recommend, come here and check project development performance.
Hello thanks for the suggestion but I am not gonna add it to my list for the following reason.

  • No signature campaign on its category, I am inclined adding campaign with this type. With the exemption of the first campaign Ive put but will continue to add campaigns with signature as my choice here.
  • Chances that only few will joined it due to KYC, but probably some will still join. I am pass with projects that have KYC. Its also for participants protection. Sorry


Since the project is already trading on bithumb then this is a good catch for those who sees KYC as no issue, to me I don't promote bounties that ask for KYC, my privacy is what I don't joke with
Yeah thats what Im thinking too. If the budget isnt that worth providing KYC, I tend to warn users or avoid them participating with non value but worse will risk their identity for such project.

I wrote something about the Nano X when I bought it, you might find it helpful : Ledger Nano X - Review of the package.
Oh thanks. Once I purchase mine I will use your guide for the actual set up and of course as beginner probably I will have some query on it once Ive touched the device.

Some offer a percentage discount and some offer a flat discount, so figure out which one works out best for you. The codes in that link offer either 20% or $25 off, but they may well have been used by now.
Wow thats a huge discount $25" off is a lot too. Thanks, maybe I will open up a thread once I am ready to purchase. But why is the guy asking for codes here? Where do you get free or discount codes? Or this is given to old customer for the purchase before? Anyway thank you. I am gonna make sure to have a code for that huge less.
