You guys should make a podcast with Ivan Golovko, a CMO from LTO Network. He's a funny guy and enjoyable to engage with. Compared to most TG admin, Ivan is different and unique imo. Should be a great discussion partner about community engagement.

Maybe any kind of business deals are considered to be important or anything else you consider important and it may require proof later.

Or don't use Telegram for business. Stick to e-mail, or pm via this forum if you want to do business here.

I'd prefer not to use Telegram to close business deals, except maybe for an employee/employer that I already know of or trusted.

7604  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-05-24] Lightning App for Sending BTC Tips on Twitter Is Now Easier to use on: May 25, 2019, 05:12:39 AM
The caveat here though is that Tippin.me is a custodial app, meaning that the app itself has control of the funds sitting on the website, rather than the user themselves.

This is probably the only thing that concerns me. Might've been better if they use a multi-sig wallet where user and Tippin need to sign the TX together (that's possible no?).
7605  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Blender / http://bitblendervrfkzr.onion real or scam? on: May 25, 2019, 04:55:26 AM
You and the OP don't have the same web address.  Am I the only one noticing it?

Also, I should think any site without the "S" on its url http isn't secured and looks phishing.

The TOR link is the TOR web address from the official Bitblender site. Check it out at least.

I think some need to inform the bitblender about this mistake and I will advice the OP to make use of bitblendervrfkzr.onion with the exclusion of the http.

When you visit the site, you'll see that it hyperlinked to bitblender....onion without the http one, if that really worries you.
7606  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How do you set up your own cryptocurrency exchange? on: May 25, 2019, 04:39:23 AM
For more guidance visit https://www.espay.io/ for White-label crypto exchange, Digital asset exchange software solutions, and all your crypto requirements.

Or Google "open source cryptocurrency exchange".

It also detected on both Kaspersky AV and Firefox.

Seems like the same notification as above. Certificate name error. Likely the certificate for that site is already outdated, or somehow there is a redirection from that site to another one. That could happen for a lot of reason, such as your DNS blocking the website.

I tried to access his website via OpenDNS and it shows the service that OP talked about. However, I can't trust whether he sells legit services.
7607  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: easy bite for scammers on: May 25, 2019, 04:32:09 AM
Does it really help?

The link that you quoted there contains educational information on how to spot or prevent being scammed via cryptocurrency-related schemes such as ICO and something similar.

I think it's quite helpful as long as you can understand and practice it. Most of the content is very basic and should be able to help you distinguish between scammy ICO or not. But it won't help you if you want to look for how to sue or punish scammers in detail.
7608  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your thoughts on the recent Localbitcoins.com ban of its Iran-based users on: May 25, 2019, 03:50:36 AM
Most countries only see the negative effect of crypto trading so they're banning and prohibiting the use of some exchanges and platforms.

You got it backward this time. Iran is not banning Bitcoin, LBC just decided to close the doors.

but don't you think this will have a huge impact on the bitcoin trading community in Iran owning to the fact that Localbitcoins.com is one of its top exchanges there.

This is my thoughts exactly but terrorists in Iran have been moving out funds illegally for ages and if it was to be a ban because of its illegally use to move out funds, shouldn't the ban be from the Iranian government directly?

Stop double posting dude.

I believe Iranian users can take care of themselves. They can use other exchange or trade it here. It's not like this is the first time they face a difficult situation, and unless you certainly know how to help them, it's better to stop speculating.
7609  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Thoughts on a crypto orientated seed business? on: May 24, 2019, 07:13:38 AM
I'd accept many altcoins as well.  Cheesy

Which altcoins is it?
You'd probably thinking about opening an LN channel too, so anyone can use LN to pay what they bought from you.
The idea is definitely OK, considering the fact that crypto is legal too, I think it's a good alternative.

Btw, why not use third-party payment processor? Should've solved a lot of issues such as conversion rates and so on.
7610  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hi can a Beginner make Profit? on: May 24, 2019, 06:55:50 AM
I’m confused and looking up for help. What is an actual difference between the Bitcoin and the pyramid schemes?

1. Bitcoin is an electronic currency, pyramid schemes are, just like it sounds, a scheme to scam people.
2. Financially speaking, everyone can benefit/profits from Bitcoin, either by doing business while accepting crypto as the payment. Pyramid schemes target is to make as many profits as possible for the owner/first mover of that scheme and left the rest with a penny.
3. Owning Bitcoin won't necessarily give you profits each day, but doing pyramid schemes will give you "promised profit" for a month, but that only happens if you can recruit new people and they do the job for you.
4. Bitcoin has 6 letters, pyramid schemes have 13 letters with space in between.
7611  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [BEWARE] Sim Port Attack on: May 24, 2019, 06:42:52 AM
1. Is there any carrier provider that allowed you to change your sim card or port to another device via phone call only?

In my country, there is none AFAIK. You need to go to their local center, bring your ID and related materials that can proof you're the owner of that number before you can port a new sim. But this doesn't mean there is no risk.

I guess the only possible way to hack this is if a hacker found a way to edit and replicate the national ID of the target. In short, you should protect your private information as strong as you could, don't ever leak any info online, and never expose to others that you own cryptocurrency.
7612  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-05-22] Dutch Authorities Shut Down Bestmixer on: May 24, 2019, 06:29:21 AM

How the hell they narrate this story to promote BSV?
Too many claims without solid background here. For example, how the hell company would feel safe if BSV and his brother are so full of drama, didn't have any problem doing a chain re-org or attacking other chains just to show off.

The journalist or that site is clearly a paid shill.

Jimmy Nguyen, Founding President of Bitcoin Association, is a former 21+year digital technology lawyer in the U.S., and he emphasizes:  “It’s time for Bitcoin to grow up, which includes getting out of the wild wilderness of cryptocurrency’s adolescent years and mature into a lawfully compliant ecosystem.

Does this equal no to privacy then?
7613  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-05-23] AT&T Teams With BitPay to Accept Bill Payments in Crypto on: May 24, 2019, 06:22:50 AM
Nice news. Hopefully, more people will use crypto to pay for AT&T bills. That's what called adoption.

It would be a waste if there's no one who uses this feature.
7614  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-05-24] Red Flags Points To HitBTC Insolvency on: May 24, 2019, 06:15:52 AM
Although some people dislike it and claim to have problems withdrawing funds, i have yet to experience any of those issues. Haven't tried it recently, but in the past it was always worked without any issues

Shouldn't have said this if you tried recently. Just because you never face a problem, thousands of others might have a headache trying to withdraw their funds. Will you still hope exchange like this continues to operate?

I'm not sure how valid the report is, but what HitBTC has done is really similar to previous exchanges that eventually went insolvent and disappear for good. So there's no surprise that sooner or later they'll face the same thing.
7615  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-05-20] EtherDelta receive Cryptopia hacker funds on: May 24, 2019, 06:05:22 AM
I really doubt if they will be taking some action on this. In my knowledge, decentralized exchanges do not implement KYC or do they? I am wondering as a decentralized exchange, can EtherDelta really block these transactions from happening or will they just pretend that they are not aware of those identified addresses?

IDEX does. And they could block the address from interacting with the contract iirc.

What the heck are they going to do in etherdelta, it is just a shit exchange that trades in shitcoins.

If they really use it, then they might want to launder the money by exchanging it via various coins, and only those with high liquidity. Maybe buy the tokens, sell it again and then transfer the ETH to other address directly via Etherdelta smart contract.
7616  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Petition to remove Craig Wright's name from Bitcoin Whitepaper's copyright on: May 24, 2019, 05:55:16 AM
yeah, i truly wonder if any change.org petitions have ever accomplished anything. i'm sure it'll do nothing in this case.

https://www.change.org/impact

They claimed that some of their petition pushed government or the related parties to do what the petitions demanded. However, most of them happened years after the petition was made. So even if your petition has enough support, it's still not clear whether that will be enough to make the government or anyone follows what was demanded. It's certainly not the appropriate way to demand something like this.
7617  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Cobinhood Defrauds Investors in Planned Exit Scam on: May 23, 2019, 06:48:08 AM
Just curious about why investors are not even doing deep research before? All of the frameworks about the future roadmap created by dexon doesn't make sense at all.

Most probably because they're not serious with their investment and just follow the quick profit-hyped project scheme. Crypto investor seriously needs to learn about investment and how they should position themselves in a situation like this, or when the project has troubles. This is the problem that needs to be solved or scammy projects with simple whitepaper would still be able to raise thousands or even millions of dollars.

On a side note, this exit scam tactic is really terrible if it was true. Don't we know who's running Cobinhood or Dexon? Isn't it easy to drag them out and sue them?
7618  Other / Off-topic / Re: Teslas to incorporate Blockchain???? on: May 23, 2019, 06:36:56 AM
Hmm, so basically any data from the cars could be 'anchored' to a blockchain. You just need an active internet connection and not necessarily has to run your own node imo.

Lition or LTO would be able to fulfill their needs. They can run a service that would automatically record the data and anchor it to the blockchain, though I doubt blockchain is suitable if they want to store very detailed data on the condition of the car. IPFS or simple database should be enough for that, and blockchain could be used to maintain the integrity of the data by storing the hash.

Not really groundbreaking, but sure, interesting.
7619  Economy / Economics / Re: The Continuous Printing of Money on: May 23, 2019, 06:21:45 AM
Therefore, international loans and other economic instruments are used.

As long as the loans wouldn't result in debt-trap policy, it's good. However, loans should never be the main priority. They should increase the economic power from their own country, by doing something like human development, encouraging youngsters to run their own business, help the small & medium business to grow and so on.

At one point or another, it still doesn't change the fact that fiat buying power will eventually decrease, and it's not a really good instrument to store your asset imo.

If there are people who still believe in this scheme, I don't know what should we do to educate them anymore.
