Nice catch, I added it to the list here: COVID-19 Related Scams that I maintained locally.

I saw one newbie in the Bitcoin Discussion board complaining about the fees. And it looks like the difficulty has dropped significantly, Yesterday, in three separate cases blocks were mined after more than 1 hour of delay.. So this got me thinking, that maybe scammers are going to exploit this one and put up a website to somewhat accelerate the transactions. We all know that during the height in 2017, many services has been offered here, but I high doubt that it is effective, unless you have direct connections to mining services. Anyways, here are some scam websites as far as bitcoin transaction accelerator is concern.

Code:

 Phishing site: http://bitcoin-transaction-accelerator.com/accelerator/

The sample transaction id I put is from the scammers themselves, just look at the bitcoin address,

Quote

Transactions 921
Total Received 17.63153023 BTC
Total Sent 17.62703662 BTC
Final Balance 0.00449361 BTC

Lots of people have been falling for this trick, asking for 0.001 BTC. I highly doubt that they really did help you out accelerating your transactions here. Same bitcoin address being used.

Second one, they step it up, using viabtc

Code:

Bitcoin Address:

Another one:

http://bitcoin-tx-transaction-accelerator.com/

Just a gentle nudge to every one here, don't trust this kind of so called accelerator. You can used https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h to check you clogged the network and see what is the best fee, depending on your needs.

Merit.

Thank you Baofeng for compiling everything and the effort of course.
Iba na mga sungay ng mga ito. Baka mas mahaba pa sa pinakademonyo sa lahat at may buntot na rin.
Nakakatakot yung donations and e-mails. Since ang mga tao ngayon ay nasa bahay at nakakababad sa internet tapos ang mga bank account nila ay madali na ma-access thru internet baka mabiktima sila.

Ano pa ba ibang mabuting paraan para ma-spread natin ito for awareness?
Facebook? Twitter?

Exactly, kaya ingat ingat talaga tayo.

Tungkol naman sa awareness, siguro mas maganda ikalat talaga natin sa social media. Or dun sa mga kakilala natin, a simple text will do. Mga halang na talaga ang mga kaluluwa ng mga taong yan. Sa ibang banda, pilit itong nilalabanan ng mga ating ethical white hackers at iba pang cyber security experts, Cybersecurity experts come together to fight coronavirus-related hacking. At meron ding grupo ng hackers na pinili na hindi targetin ang mga health organizations, Ransomware Gangs to Stop Attacking Health Orgs During Pandemic. Pero kulang ba yan, kailangan natin talagang i-spread ang awareness.

Another new form of scam, I reported a similar theme/style from the scammers, [Scam]: Atomic wallet Complaint Form

Code:

PHISHING SITE: https://jaxx.live/

Good catch, most likely those sites are are being run by scammers from behind. And it was reported that there is a surge of "corona" virus related websites. And I'm sure they just wanted to ride the hype of the pandemic, used its name and take advantage of the hysteria to victimised innocent people.

In Covid-19 related news,

Quote

Anthony Joshua remains 'fit and healthy' despite coming into contact with Prince Charles only a couple of weeks before the heir to the throne tested positive for coronavirus.

The world heavyweight champion is following government guidelines around self-isolation but has shown no symptoms of the deadly disease, which threatens to derail his upcoming fight with Kubrat Pulev.

On Wednesday, Prince Charles became the most high-profile member of the British establishment to contract coronavirus, with Clarence House announcing that the 71-year-old had been showing mild symptoms 'but otherwise remains in good health'.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-8151323/Anthony-Joshua-fit-healthy-meeting-Prince-Charles-contracted-coronavirus.html

Well we all know by now that the virus is asymptomatic (30%), but it's good that he feels great, but still he needs to self isolate and we do hope that he doesn't have the infection.

We already have this thread by @coinlocket$, 💰 Summer Tokyo 2020 💰 Discussion and bet thread 💰 Summer Game. So I suggest you lock this thread and continue the discussion there.

According to reports by Arcane Research, Holders are buying based on their metrics, Hodler Net Position Change.

Pretty obvious though, I mean if you are a long term HODLer, you are waiting for this kind of opportunity to fill in your bags and accumulating. And probably those who have sold-off during the panic has somewhat regret their decision to do so.

According to Fortune, the BTC logo ranked number 90 greatest designs of modern times. Number (1) is Apple's Iphone and then (2) the Macintosh, (3) is Google, (4) Eames Fiberglass Armchair and then (5) is Sony Walkman TPS-L2.

https://fortune.com/longform/100-best-designs/

Do you agree that BTC should be in the lower bracket? or should be ranked higher?

The kind of people in your no. 2 I think is predominant in this crypto-sphere. Specially during the boom of 2017, many noobs, lots of them irrational, thought that bitcoin is a get rich scheme. So they learn their lessons in hard and very expensive way, maybe majority have exited, or burned out.

Crypto is very different from the rest of the market, it has become a speculative asset now, meaning it's going to be more volatile, investing is easy, but can you remain in the market if you see the price free falling? or are you going to push the sell button? As far as borrowing though, it has a lot of disadvantages that's why it is not recommended, even in traditional financial markets.

Akalain mo gaano kahayup mga taong to,sa panahon na nagkakanda matayan na mga tao sa buong mundo samantalang sila panlalamang pa din sa kapwa ang ginagawa.
ito ang mga dapat nahahawaan ng sakit at namamatay eh,dahil walang kasing sagad sa Buto ang kawalanghiyaan ng mga to.

Wala talagang pinipili yang mga kriminal na yan kahit mismo sa ganitong panahon na lahat ng tao ay nagpapanic at takot na takot, tuloy parin ang pangloloko nila. At hindi lang sila, may mga pumapatol din na mga investors tapos pagnanalo na exit na sila, pump-and-dump, matatawag na rin nating mga kriminal yung ganyan klase ng tao.

Tama yung sinabi ni @dothebeats, pwede naman tayo tumulong thru our lokol LGU units na lang. Likha naman sa ating mga Pinoy ay tumulong, kaya lang siguraduhin na yung tulong na ibibigay natin ay mapaparating talaga dun sa dapat na tumanggap ng tulong.

What Happened: Supposedly a complaint form if you have a problem with your atomic wallet in either IOS, Android or Desktop. It will initially tell you that they don't ask for your Private Key, however, it will ask you to "Please Provide Mnemonic Phrase/Recovery Phrase".

According to https://support.atomicwallet.io/article/51-i-lost-my-12-word-phrase-what-can-i-do

Quote

If someone asks you to provide your 12-word phrase for any reason – never do it! No problem with the wallet requires a 12-word phrase to be shared. Members of our team will never ask for it.

Quick update, SEC finds Gram as securities under the Howey Test.

Quote

The Court finds that the SEC has shown a substantial likelihood of success in proving that the contracts and understandings at issue, including the sale of 2.9 billion Grams to 175 purchasers in exchange for $1.7 billion, are part of a larger scheme to distribute those Grams into a secondary public market, which would be supported by Telegram’s ongoing efforts. Considering the economic realities under the Howey test, the Court finds that, in the context of that scheme, the resale of Grams into the secondary public market would be an integral part of the sale of securities without a required registration statement.

@Darker45 - Yes, that's one possibility to according to this article:

https://www.givemesport.com/1556376-canelo-alvarez-vs-billy-joe-saunders-fight-could-be-held-in-the-uk-in-may-2021

Another probable reason is that the boxing fans are certainly more excited for this rematch than the two boxers' more immediate fights. Finally, the purse points to this match as the biggest priority.

Yeah, who wouldn't refused it? probably this fight could give the fighters another huge pay-day for both fighters. I'm not that interested on their immediate fights, those interim bouts are not going to generate them good money, and high risk low reward. We will just have to wait a little longer though, because of the current covid-19 situation. But I do hope that the fight will happen as schedule on September of this year. Gonna be one explosive fight for sure.

A few day ago: I posted this on @DroomieChikito's thread here. However, I think to reach a wider audience, I will just put in here so that many newbies and beginners are not going to fall for this kind of trick. Yes, this is an old gimmick, but we need reinforcement.

It was already reported a Gram related scam: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5231895.0

So definitely this is a scam, good catch, but I believed that there are still scammers in social media trying to lure unsuspecting victims from this kind of trick.

Looks the same but they are different they must have other tricks to lure even more especially by being tempted like this there are still many who have joined and I'm sure they were fooled by scamer.

I think we should look or research before joining the absurd airdrop.

Scammers have so many flavours, many different gimmicks on their bag, but at the end, it is still the same, just like this one, there's so such thing as Gram airdrop or anything that is related to Gram.

I will assume that there could be more out there, trying to lure someone specially beginners in crypto sphere.

B. Sasabay kaya ito sa panahon ng krisis?

Pag walang na diskubre na vaccine para sa Ncovid-19, malamang sasabay to sa panahon ng krisis.

C. Nasa magkano kaya ang flat value nito?

Hindi natin masabi, pero malamang makatungtong tayo sa 5 digit at least.

D. Gaano kalaki ang magiging epekto nito sa:
-market industry
-altcoins
-fiat

Halos lahat ng altcoin he naka pair sa bitcoin, kaya pag pag di masyado umusad si bitcoin, malamang ganun din ang altcoin market.

Pwede nyo rin silipin itong thread na ito: Bitcoin Block Halving.

Sa mga nagdaang mga bitcoin halving, wala tayong nakitang ganitong klaseng epekto, ang pandemic ng corona virus, kaya ang hirap mag speculate talaga kung kelan magsisimula ang eventual bull run.
