I am one of the people who prefer to pay with cash. The feeling of counting the money manually causes greater psychological damage than a single click. If we say that you want to spend $2,000 on shopping, as soon as you start buying, you will find that this amount is exaggerated and that I must pay less, but when paying through banking applications. Or credit cards It's like I don't spend a lot of money. Therefore, it is not a matter of ignorance or illiteracy more than it leads to more spending.
742  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NOOB: Question regarding USDT BEP20 problem ! on: October 30, 2023, 03:49:16 PM
I am glad I found this place with nice people willing to help newbs like me and I will use this forum to get more informed and learn more about the crypto space even tho I am a little late and I feel like I kind of missed the train.
Cheers!



Be careful about accepting tokens, some of them are burned and some of them contain conditions in the smart contract that prevent spending, so accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT TRC20 and create an account on CEXs trading platform if you want to accept more altcoins and do not accept any token that is not listed in that exchange(binance for example)

I am happy that your problem has been solved and I hope to see you actively participating here. You can promote your development service here.

You did not recover them, but the owner of the private key sent the same amount to your address. There is no way to cancel the transaction after sending it (1 confirmation)

It is true that you are lucky to get your money back, but you lost the transaction confirmation fees.
744  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin about to close at the highest price in 78 weeks! Looking strong!💪 on: October 30, 2023, 03:08:20 PM
Won't war, crisis, even viruses and lockdowns increase someone's interest in making investments such as gold and Bitcoin?
Just during the corona virus yesterday, Bitcoin became a hype and many investors entered Bitcoin.


This was not the direct reason, but monetary policies in that period encouraged spending more than saving. Interest levels were close to zero, and there were segments receiving government support with limited opportunities to generate quick income. This is different from the situation now with high interest rates, but everything may change with... The beginning of the second quarter of next year, so I expect that we will be in the range of 35k to 55k until next May based on the current price movement.
745  Economy / Economics / Re: Almost All Countries Affected by Inflation, Opportunity for Bitcoin! on: October 30, 2023, 02:59:25 PM
The adoption of Bitcoin cannot bring about real changes for countries compared to the changes that can happen to individuals. The reason is that in the case of individuals, the economic problem can be solved with a few thousand or millions of dollars, but for countries, unless the internal economic problems and the balance of supply and demand are solved, it is not possible to build Bitcoin alone. To solve the problem, it is possible, in the best case scenario, to build a sovereign fund and invest Bitcoin in it, provided that the profits of this fund go toward development and that the government does not borrow from it.
There has been adoption of Bitcoin in El Salvador, but it does not appear to have changed as if it were done by individuals
746  Economy / Economics / Re: Steam drops support for 2 fiat currencies over their volatlity on: October 30, 2023, 01:22:54 PM
All complaints come from customers. In the end, the company wants to achieve profits, and if it finds more customers who want the option to pay in Bitcoin, it will accept that because it will convert the amount into dollars in the end and will not retain those customers, which is the reason why they are trying to stay away from currencies that are highly susceptible to inflation, as is happening in Argentina and Turkey.

If Bitcoin reaches stable levels, some people may not prefer to buy it because the price is stable and will not achieve a quick profit as is happening at the present time. Wink

The hardware wallet is referred to as an offline wallet for This purpose, also you can use the software wallets too as an offline wallet by using it offline and never allowing the device to come online. You can then have a watch only wallet on another device for broadcasting the transaction. So basically what the offline wallet does is to use this stored private key to sign the transaction.
Some hardware wallets offer additional features like secure element (ATECC608B,) cryptographic method, dealing with SD/RAM protection from physical attacks. All of these features are considered additional protection in the event of losing your device, which instead of trying to brute force all data will be deleted after entering the wrong PIN 3 times.

اIt provides an easy device for anyone who does not have technical knowledge to set up a hardware wallet that is relatively safe in all cases, even physical theft, and a simple recovery mechanism represented by seeds without having a technical background. Even if the wallet is stolen, you must quickly access your coins and send them to another address.

snip
this is not how HW wallet work, you described how a public key/address can be generated from a seed.

1. Altcoin Season Index - Tracks altcoin performance relative to Bitcoin, indicating when altcoins might outperform BTC.

2. Crypto Fear and Greed Index - Measures market sentiment in cryptocurrency, indicating whether it's driven by fear or greed.



altcoin-season-index seems like a good indicator that at least gives you an overview with one chart, I will try it out in my future trading.
Crypto Fear and Greed Index is one of the weak indicators of the results because it represents a reflection of three variables: market volume/volatility/emotional index like Social Media and Surveys. Emotions are an inaccurate measure, and I do not think that these services have a deep analysis of a large number of user bases, so they are a direct reflection of volume. / Volatility, which we can obtain using relative strength indicators, without the influence of a third party.

Chain analysis is very expensive and its outputs are useful to traders, although in many cases the results are highly misleading as some of Glassnode's predictions were far from accurate.

You really need to define what list you want to create.
-  I want to make it clear that onchain analysis is just an additional tool in my trading approach; it's not a magic solution. Even if you pay for expensive onchain services, they provide more reliable data and analyses, but they won't give you the definitive answer on when to buy or sell. Ultimately, you still need to conduct your own analysis and make decisions based on that data.
Onchain analysis does not target normal traders, but rather whales. Changes are always in the long term, which can be used well with news and leaks, so most of those who buy paid packages are experienced traders, especially since it may constitute a change in altcoin market.
749  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in the last 5 years compare to now on: October 27, 2023, 09:41:48 AM
Bitcoin have a positive  value, it can also used as and asset.  In the past five years has been a huge growth, however institution that held Bitcoin and investment on it like Tesla , having a amount of Bitcoin on their account. This has brought a huge profit. The way Bitcoin is been used by large and small companies and organizations. Do you think this will continue in the coming years?
If you do not have information, Tesla has sold 75% of its total investment in Bitcoin, and if there is a company that wants to invest and build long-term positions for the coming years, now is the right time, and we will see who bought in Q4 data of this year when it is disclosed.

https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/tesla-earnings-q2-2022-elon-musk-live/card/tesla-sells-75-of-its-bitcoin-purchases-tgkMdMf1EHDvdniqHu8S#:~:text=Tesla%20Inc.%20said%20it%20has,earnings%20impairment%20linked%20to%20bitcoin.

Quote
Tesla Inc. said it has sold 75% of the bitcoin it had purchased, little more than a year after investing in the digital currency.

The electric-vehicle maker said the sale added $936 million to its balance sheet in the second quarter. The company also said it had an earnings impairment linked to bitcoin

If companies decide to invest up to 3% to 7% in Bitcoin, then it will be the real change in the game.
It is difficult to predict the direction of Bitcoin based only on the last 5 years, it will give misleading results.
750  Economy / Speculation / Re: Scheduled deadlines of Bitcoin Spot ETF applications & Price speculations on: October 27, 2023, 09:25:10 AM
NEW: CFTC Commissioner Summer Mersinger says  the market is ready for a spot #Bitcoin    ETF.

"There's a lot of interest.
Spot ETF is a free way to get more views for free, so I do not trust any analysis except an article or a tweet. They all claim to have knowledge, and in the end only a small group has access to data that could be useful to know the status of the ETF in the future, so it is a bet that it will be rejected. It must be the first choice, and if it is accepted, then it will be good news.
What is happening is a rotation of FUD to move prices.
751  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Onchain analysis method on: October 27, 2023, 09:06:00 AM
Thanks for your input. I've also heard of Glassnode.com, which is a good resource. However, it seems like that they require a subscription fee to access their services.
In your list there is https://cryptoquant.com, which is Onchain analysis. However, it is a paid service. I do not think that you will find services like this for free, or at least not all of its features are free. Chain analysis is very expensive and its outputs are useful to traders, although in many cases the results are highly misleading as some of Glassnode's predictions were far from accurate.

You really need to define what list you want to create.

As for Coingecko.com, it's quite similar to CoinmarketCap. I prefer Coinmarketcap because it's been around longer, and its interface displays more intuitive parameters such as trends, news, and the fear and greed index right on the homepage.

CoinmarketCap is owned by Binance and there will inevitably be data manipulation either to make binance a perfect exchange or to make other platforms look bad compared to binance.
752  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Change e-mail in MERCATOX long wait no results on: October 27, 2023, 08:57:13 AM
Moreover, I have been facing difficulties reaching them via email. When I open a new support ticket, I consistently receive responses from the same individual. Unfortunately, I cannot log in to my account as my old email is no longer functional.
At best, they have very bad back-end programming that makes the ability to change the email address require permissions form limited individuals. At worst, they are scammers and may misuse your ID and a piece of paper displaying the current date (they may use it to verify identity for other services).

In any case, stop sending them more data, as the data you sent is sufficient to verify you, especially if you have not changed the IP and cookies.
753  Economy / Speculation / Re: Scheduled deadlines of Bitcoin Spot ETF applications & Price speculations on: October 26, 2023, 09:00:48 AM
I tend to think that Bitcoin Spot ETF applications will make the price fall, as excessive optimism regarding the acceptance of the Spot ETF will push the price up to $48,000 or even $52,000, and the rejection that will bring the price to $28,000 to $34,000 comes before we reach $39,000 in March, which is halving time. ETF acceptance may happen by the end of the year, and it may be the reason why the price rises by the end of the year, to $100k in 2024 and $170k in 2025.
754  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Onchain analysis method on: October 26, 2023, 08:42:13 AM
On-chain analysis is predictive analysis using On-chain data that gives results to measure market and investment opportunities as provided by services such as Glassnode - On-chain market intelligence https://glassnode.com

The list is for price-tracking services or cryptocurrency data aggregator. They are tools for displaying data, and I do not know whether services like CoinMarketCap provide any data analysis services

add CoinGecko https://www.coingecko.com to that list.
https://www.theblock.co Isn't it a site for articles and news?
https://cryptoquant.com and https://www.arkhamintelligence.com are Onchain analysis services.
755  Economy / Services / Re: Moderator Wanted - Site Development and Community Building on: October 26, 2023, 08:13:50 AM
The maximum number of views for many topics are 25 and the number of connected people is 5.
I do not expect that there will be a good return from advertising, and you will have limited resources to hire a moderator.
It is best to look for a team to promote the service, and if you do not have a distinguished team, it is better to sell the domain. The name sounds good and its value may be between $30 and $500.
756  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: How the crypto project Threw me on: October 26, 2023, 08:05:01 AM
I agreed, they gave me all the tools to work with, even gave me moderator credentials to log in to the game. When I completed part of the work, I began to demand payment from them for the work done, as we agreed with them. As a result, as often happens, they stop responding and block me. Yes, I realized my mistake that I don't need to agree to pay outside Fiverr,
Sorry for your bad experience, but Fiverr holds payments in escrow and depending on the last time I used them, escrow period can be up to two weeks. You have only lost your time, contact them to pay you, and I do not think that they will scam you because you now know the site’s infrastructure and you can sell the site’s data to hackers or steal money from them. wait for their response, as perhaps there was a problem, and if they want to scam you, report it here and consider that the time you spent in checking code it is a lesson for you not to accept work without escrow.
757  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Risk/AML score on: October 26, 2023, 07:38:05 AM
So at this point i don't know if cash that balance through a CEX or not.

By the way why is this topic on Service Board?

Because I am talking about it as a service and its accuracy. If governments decide to establish a comprehensive and deep regulation, unfortunately, they will depend on these companies that use AI algorithms and employees (I doubt that they have sufficient resources) that decide whether the CEX will accept your currencies or not.

So far, I think that its results are random and it is better to avoid any service that relies on such indicators.
758  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [INFO - DISCUSSION] OP_CAT new draft BIP on: October 26, 2023, 07:33:41 AM
After Bitcoin added a limit (520 bytes) to the size of the element in the stack, there are logical arguments for reactivating some opcodes. OP_CAT is simple and easy to understand, and I see some people defending it on the grounds that it can be used to make Bitcoin is "quantum safe" by signing an EC signature https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lightning-dev/2019-October/002201.html

So it is not to do new things but to enable some basic things.

759  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the most weird thing you bought with crypto? on: October 26, 2023, 06:45:38 AM
Unlike small stores, bars, cafes, delivery services and digital services, it is difficult to find a way to spend Bitcoin directly unless youexchange it to your local currency or USD.
your question should be: What is the value of one Bitcoin, what will it buy in your country?
The question has been asked before, and most of the comments explain the big differences, as $35,000 may buy a house or a mansion in one country, or it may buy a garage in another country.
This is the link to the topic What can 1 Bitcoin buy in your country?

In my country, one Bitcoin buys you a mid-range car.


The weird stuff you might buy will be related to the dark web or digital stuff like porn and movies.
760  Economy / Service Discussion / Risk/AML score on: October 25, 2023, 10:43:19 AM
Anti-money laundering (AML) regulations play a vital role in financial systems and combating organized crime, which has led to the emergence of advances in learning algorithms show great promise for the AML toolkits

The data showed that the volume of illegal transactions:

source https://amlcrypto.io

However, I find that the AML score gives different and varied results from one service to another. Are these results accurate, especially since most of them are generated by artificial intelligence? Can it be relied upon to bring charges or acquit people, since they may lead to criminal charges, or is this not possible as they are based on random results or inaccurate.

Some experimental results:
