7521  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Adoption In Paraguay Next Month, the domino effect is unstoppable on: June 19, 2021, 01:20:14 PM
I went about 4 years ago to Paraguay.. there is a restaurant there that time they accepted the payment with Bitcoin.. dont know if they are accepting nowadays.
if countries legally accept BTC. Then maybe the next time will be the real uptrend

People from Europe and other parts of the world will seriously start to think about moving to South America and Paraguay and not just because of Bitcoin but in general because of lack of freedom.
There is still no tax for Bitcoin in Paraguay and it's very cheap to buy their citizenship and get a new passport from Paraguay.
If I had to choose one country in South America for living  it would probably be Urugay that is not so far from Paraguay, but I hear many anarchists are also moving to Nicaragua.

Companies can nominate any Bitcoin account as a marketing treasury and, when this account changes (either up or down) by a certain threshold, the system can start a campaing in the area of interest. Since users of the platform will be anonymous, there is greater privacy and since advertising costs are lower discounts and promos could be greater.
What do you mean when you say ''Bitcoin account'' and how exactly is everyone anonymous on this platform?
It doesn't sound very decentralized to me with words like account and platfrom.

Ads industry is a huge space with big potential but I really don't understand why do we need one more token for this, and I understand why you would need one more token on some other chain for this...

Regarding your balance, it looks like you still have a long position of +0.2 mBTC. If you close this position (by sending a sell order) your balance should be unfrozen (+/- your profits). You say you tried to cancel your position, what did you try to do? Maybe you can help us make it more intuitive.
I can't sell something I don't have because I went to cancel open order and I think you should improve interface and make it more intuitive.
Maybe adding some tutorial page with instructions would help with this.
One more issue I have today is that I can't place any order and I an getting error that something went wrong and that I should contact support:



Future tokens were just meant as a (small) thank you gift! If we do well these may be worth 100x-1000x in the future, but you don't need them for trading (in the future they'll give trading fee discounts and other benefits). Thanks for trying out, hope to see you coming back to close your position and trade more Cheesy
I would prefer to get a real Bitcoin as a gift, instead of some new speculative token that may never get listed on any exchanges.

what is the point of testnet coins here? testnet is moslty to test the new dev of the main network just like bitcoin main network with zero economic value.
You can give the user any amount as it is an update of the database and after he succeeds in successfully trying the platform, that balance can be replaced with your free tokens.
You can withdraw those coins to your own testnet BTC wallet, you can also deposit, and it's obviously done for testing, nobody is crazy enough to test something like this with real Bitcoin.

Most of the cryptocurrency wallets are governed by exchangers like Binance, blockchain and etc.
This payment systems might take a fee for proceeding a transaction to your wallet.

Sincerely,
1xBit team

Thank you for explaining, and maybe I should think about applying for your honest feedback campaign now.

Most wallets are governed by people with non-custodial wallets like Electrum, and addresses on exchanges should not be considered as real wallets because we don't have priv keys for them.

PS
You never answered do you have any gambling license or no... still waiting.
7525  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger fake device Warning! on: June 19, 2021, 10:17:28 AM
My point was that even officially bought wallets must be suspected and not be used until the next firmware update.
I don't understand what next firmware update has to do with trusting the wallet, because closed source can't be verified anyway and you don't know what is happening under the hood.

Regarding malicious software on the tampered device - nowadays every child knows how to disable USB autorun, so I didn't stress this. Just in case, make backup image (say with  Macrium Reflect)  of your pristine OS to restore it after each and every use of suspected USB.
If every child knows to do disable USB (that is not true btw) than there would be no more cases of people getting scammed in most stupid way possible.
In case of this fake Ledger device there was no autorun, but instructions would guide you to install their exe file and import your old seed words that would later be sent and stolen by attackers.
Obviously many people are not using their brain at all and they fall for this all the time, and world we live in today is just another proof of that.

Regulacija možda ne bi direktno ''popravila situaciju'' običnim, malim korisnicima ali bi puno pomoglo tome da trgovci počnu više koristiti bitcoin kao opciju za plaćanje a institucionalni ulagači da počnu puno više ulagati u crypto.
I jedno i drugo bi pomoglo većoj prihvaćenosti crypta i cijena bi vjerojatno ''skočila u nebo'' što bi svima nama išlo u prilog.
Ono što većinu, za sada, odbija od crypta, osim nepredvidljivosti tržišta, je upravo pravna nesigurnost i nedostatak regulacije.
Naravno da bi i dalje bilo prevara u crypto, kao što ima i bilo gdje drugdje gdje se ''vrti'' veći novac ali barem bi ljudi imali više povjerenja i sigurnosti u korištenju crypta.

Budimo realni, preterana regulacija kao i dodatni porezi u drugim sektorima koji nemaju veze sa Bitcoin i crypto industrijom nosu doneli ništa dobro običnim ljudima, elite se više bogate a političari sve više lažu i kradu.
Bitcoin je legalan u većini zemalja a počelo je i sa legalnim tenderima tj. Bitcoin je zakonsko sredstvo plaćanja u El Salvadoru, a uskoro  i u drugim zemljama, i ne znam kakvu veću stabilnost ljudi mogu očekivati sa bilo čime danas.
Može ti biti ''stabilan'' dolar, euro i kuna još 100 godina ali zato ćeš morati sve skuplje i skuplje da platiš.

A, ono sto nekome moze izgledati kao glup pokusaj, treba samo spomenuti da su ljudi padali i na puno vece gluposti.

Mislim da nije bilo tako davno da je procelink iz jedne gradske uprave uplatio neke velike novce na nepoznati racun samo na osnovu jednog emaila.
Nakon 2020 i 2021 godine sam apsolutno siguran da ima i više nego dovoljno ljudi na zemlji koji ni malo ne koriste svoj mozak, i vodjeni strahom mogu uraditi sve što im se kaže ili naredi.

Nedavno sam gledao interview sa Kathryn Haun (us ministarstvo pravosudja a sada radi za Coinbase) o tome kako je fbi zatvorio Silk Road, i ne bih se iznenadio da iza nekih hardverskih novčanika isto stoje oni, kao za one Anom telefone koje su 3 godine pratili:

I created account and registered on your website and done some testing but one and five second trading is crazy unpredictable, and I don't understand why you would need to have any token for this.

After making few trades I have some of my testnet coins frozen and they stay frozen even after canceling my position, so is there any way unfreeze this coins and how?

Looks like we have one more Faketoshi scammer and this time he is coming from China with his bad English skills and totally different writing style from Satoshi.
Just like all the other Faketoshi's before him, he is also unable to simply sign a message from his Bitcoin wallet and prove ownership of Satoshi's coins, and instead he is wasting time writing some nonsense.
7530  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and CO2 emissions (Should we care?) on: June 18, 2021, 08:46:52 AM
Dude please it's enough with this CO2 bad propaganda, this is natural gas we (and all animals) exhale all the time and same gas plants need to live and grow.
This stupid idea that mainstream media and researchers paid by big corporations are pushing so hard is ridiculous, and connecting that with Bitcoin is even worse.
If we compare Bitcoin ''dangerous'' CO2 emission with gold, finance sector or with military-industrial complex we can see how insignificant Bitcoin is in this story.
Again, if you can convince bunch of people that cheap face masks protect them from some boogeyman virus then you can also convince them that CO2 is bad, that Bitcoin is bad, and that to much people on planet are also bad...
Pay mainstream media to report about this 24/7 and it looks like something is real even if it's not, and solution would be to stop watching tv, but it's not so easy to give up digital drug addiction Smiley

Interesting bitcoinmagazine reading material regarding this subject to put things into perspective:

Ovo mi više izgleda kao pokušaj ciljanog napada na pojedinca. Moguće je da je netko prepoznao nečije podatke iz baze i zaključio da se radi o meti vrijednoj truda.
Nije samo pojedinac jer se se počeli javljati i drugi ljudi koji su naručili jedan Ledger a dobili dva u paketu i čini se da je jedan od njih lažni ledger.
Nije to preskupo da kupe neki jeftini kineski flash drive, urade 3d printing za ledger case, upakuju sve i šalju na poznate adrese, a naravno za to su uložili malo bitcoina koji su dobili od prethodnih žrtava napada.

Ja iskreno nikad ne bih kupio te Wookong hardverske novčanike i ne bi ih koristio ni da ih dobijem besplatno, ali kad već imamo veliku listu...

Here is one more guy who claims that he ordered one Ledger Nano X and received two in his package, and one of them looks like it's fake according to photo he posted on reddit.
If this is true that means that Ledger is still leaking some information or they have some dirty insider who is selling customer information.


https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/o22p55/is_this_nano_x_pcb_genuine_seen_some_reports/

I'm impressed by the ingenuity of these guys, it's quite an elaborate scam and it's probably not cheap to pull it off, but I think that unfortunately some will fall for it  Angry so get ready for a new bunch of unhappy customers which will probably end up here  Angry
Yeah, I realized in 2020 and 2021 that people are generally very naive and they would accept even a free snake as a gift if you tell them it's an egg that is good for them.
Scammers are playing on card of device replacement, but I am worried that fake devices are sent from France, like we can see on first fake package, and that could mean that someone who works in Ledger is still leaking customer information.


7535  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lightning Network -- Is it GOOD? on: June 17, 2021, 02:43:23 PM
I am not the biggest  fan of Lightning Network and I don't think it's ready and simple enough to be used by everyone, not it is accepted by all exchanges and merchants,
but those who criticize it most are Bcashers and big blockers like Roger Ver.
Let's take a look at mining pool distribution for bch and we can see that almost 50% is controlled by Antpool and 3 pools are controlling 75% of their total hashrate, so you can't really call this decentralization.
If you run your own node for LN and open channel when fees are low you will be able to spend you Bitcoin for coffee and peanuts, but who does that anyway Smiley

Budite oprezni ako vam stigne neki paket od Ledger-a.
Scameri su počeli sa slanjem lažnih Ledger hardverskih novčanika na adrese ljudi koji su ranije kupovali ledger, a sve to posle curenja informacija sa njihove stranice!

7538  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Ledger fake device Warning! on: June 17, 2021, 09:18:29 AM
You probably remember multiple Ledger database leaks that exposed private customer information and addresses for millions of ledger customers, and this is still available in public so both fbi and scammers have all those information.

Scammers have been texting customers, sending them threats with sms, fake emails but their latest trick is even more dangerous because they started to send fake replacement Ledger devices to selected customers even if they didn't order anything.

Attackers even created fake ledger bag and sealed ledger box to match original Ledger Nano X wallet with their own instructions, and sent letter explaining why customer need to replace their wallet.

 

Fake Instructions is asking users connect the Ledger to their computer, than import recovery phrase from their old device, and that is sent to the attackers who imports it on their own devices and steal crypto.



Guy who received this fake ledger opened the device that was later compared with original device and you can see the clear difference inside both front and back as well as some sloppy soldering work.

They added a flash drive inside Ledger case and wired it to the USB connector with the purpose to be used for malware delivery to attackers.

 

This was first reported on ledger reddit by member jjrand who was confirmed victim of data breach, but he was not the only one to receive it.

BEWARE that anyone who ordered ledger wallet before and got his address leaked is in danger of receiving one of this fake devices.

Quote
I have got a package from Ledger although I did not order one. Inside the package, there is a brand new Ledger X and the letter attached. As a victim of the latest Data Breach I have signed up reddit only to post this. Maybe someone from the company can confirm or deny it.

Edit: I am pretty sure it is scam. Here are some more pics. I have also opened the device. You can see the inside of the plastic box. It is definitely tampered !

So beware guys, this is really some next level of scam attempt.

Actually bitcoin fees are never X dollar Tongue
You also can't predict the sat/vbyte value based on the dollar value of the fee because you have no idea what the size of their transaction is.
I was not predicting anything but just stating current situation of mempool at that time, and he was speaking in terms of USD.
For years I have been using mempool.space that is showing incoming transactions, unconfirmed transactions with suggested fee and it has never failed me so far.

It may contain a lot of inputs and/or outputs that has increased its total size hence the total fee even with a small sat/vbyte fee rate.
He has $110.56 worth of Bitcoin on his electrum, so it's probably not 110 inputs... but he can always use calculators like this:
- Jameson Lopp website
- Bitcoin Ops
- ByBitcoinWorldwide
- Coinb.in
- Bitcoindata.science

There are thousands of email service providers, and it is highly decentralized.
You are either from Mars or some other planet when you can keep saying that email server providers are decentralized... they are not decentralized.
Do you know that few days ago when fastly servers went down half of the internet also went down, including reddit, amazon, paypal, amazon, ebay, vimeo, etc.
If you know that huge majority of people use gmail and google services you can't really call anything like that decentralized.
There is one research showing that over 75% of all Gmail users are connected with their mobile devices...so much about decentralization of your protocol.

PS
You are still avoiding to answer my question to explain how your mobile nodes are actually working.
