81  Economy / Economics / Re: Official says US seized cryptocurrency ransom paid to Colonial Pipeline hackers on: June 08, 2021, 04:42:02 PM
A lot of replies here. Here are my thoughts based on what I've read from multiple sources.

The DarkSide hacking group ran a RaaS (Ransomware as a Service) and the wallet used to payout affiliates was stored on a US based cloud server. The FBI physically seized this (through a court ordered warrant). The server then contained the wallet / private key. We all know it's possible to track a wallet to an IP address. Colonial Pipeline worked with the FBI from the start. The FBI is obviously running their own nodes to be able to track transactions to IP addresses and this is how it was tracked down to the US based cloud server. I'm guessing these hackers used a US based cloud server to avoid firewall/geo-filter rules from many firewalls. (I know we block all non-US IPs on our network).

Someone else here mentioned the FBI hacking the hackers. Yes, this is something the US government has started doing in recent years. Instead of being reactive, they've started to be proactive and going after these hacking groups before they strike in the first place.

I mean it would make sense to bundle the Miami Ballet with the book and price it at $59.99 just like their website's silver bundle, I would assume?

I'm in for 1 wallet and 1 book (autographed if possible)

Sorry for confusion, I don't wish to have the wallet autographed, just the book.

thank you! This has definitely evolved - I started with just one printer and now have 7 running 24/7 with more printers being ordered soon Smiley

Funny enough, I was just looking for something to hold my PSA graded cards and was actually looking into buying a 3D printer and making some myself, but then this thread happened to get bumped. I'm kinda of confused by the post though, is MM printing these or is Spazzer?

If you want to run a block explorer but don't want to get into setting up a database or learning how, there are some "nodes in a box" out there that have them.
All you need is some bandwidth, the available storage space and a computer that can run a base VM and you can install some of them. Others work on a RPi

https://www.mynodebtc.com/ is one of the more popular ones.

I've been curious about running block explorers for a while and haven't really looked into it. I hope this is as easy as you say it is. Do you know if I can host this publicly (that's my long-term goal).
88  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [24HR Auction] 2014 CI 10k Doge Loaded on: April 16, 2021, 04:53:51 PM
Would you redeem and send the Doge prior to shipment?

No, never. My trust rating should ensure you of that. If not, there are plenty of members here who can vouch for my legitimacy.

I think you didn't understand the question lol. I wasn't questioning your legitimacy. I was asking if you would redeem the Doge and send it to the buyer's Doge address prior to shipment.

You're right. I did not understand the question. That would be an unusual purchase of a loaded collectible. But if I were paid directly in full - I suppose I could sweep & send the doge to the buyer. I'm sure other holders of this coin would appreciate the increase in scarcity.


Ya. Odd request I know, but with how fast the price is moving, it could end up being quite profitable to peel it right away and buying the BTC back, so just wanted to see if that would be an option in case I decide to bid. I think the current bid is like $700 under spot value right now.. Will be interesting to see where Doge "ends the day" at.

Why don't you just take your bid price and buy BTC with it? Guess I'm confused. -- I digress, good luck on the auction!

I posed the question because the price of Doge is all over the place. Had this auction closed 24 hours ago the value of this coin would have went up x2.5 (likely before he shipped it) in which case someone may have wanted to just have him peel the coin and send the Doge directly and get x2.5 their BTC back + have the physical (ya sure, it's peeled) coin. Obviously doesn't make sense to do if you really wanted it as a collectible, but there will likely always be more of these for sale and I don't think Doge is going to stay at the current price range long-term.

Anyways, I'll throw in a bid to make all this not worthless text.

92  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin at $1 million this cycle really possible? on: April 13, 2021, 03:06:45 PM
I feel this scenario is really hard because to hit that price the market capitalization should be enormous... and right now the current capitalization is really big.

For example, Apple is the company with the biggest market cap, right now they have 2.233T dollars, and if we compare it with bitcoin cap this is 1.1T. So, the richest company has double than bitcoin. So, even if we double the bitcoin capitalization it will not hit $1 million each coin, that's why I think $1M is almost impossible.

Apple only has the largest market cap in the US.

tl;dr Couldn't find the word Pancake in any of the replies.

PancakeSwap is a Binance Smart Chain DEX. 1/100th the fees as Ethereum, it's up over 200% in the last couple weeks but I see it hitting AT LEAST $1 billion market cap (5x from current price).

Essentially the Uniswap swap of Binance Smart Chain.

Full disclosure, I bought in at 65 cents.

Do you mind posting some photos? Is it just a bunch of individual stamps or do you have plate blocks? Are they already in a book?
96  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] STORM Token: Earn Free Cryptocurrency[ICO] on: March 22, 2021, 03:42:41 PM

They already finished their swap last Oct 2020. Don't know if you can still get a hold of them and explain the situation.
Based from their blog, those leftover STORM tokens are converted to STORMX.
Now, I don't know what will happen to individually-owned STORM.
Didn't expect also that this project will survive long in crypto.



Yep. Most of the Storm tokens have been swapped successfully but a small proportion who missed the swap date urged the team to reopen the swap.
And the team has come up with a solution by allowing StormX users and community members to decide how the swap should be handled.

I understand not wanting to honor tokens that were bought up recently, but my tokens have been sitting in MEW for 700+ days. I think they should only honor tokens that haven't moved in the last 180 days or something like that instead.

You'll probably get more value if you just take a photo of it, make it an NFT and sell the NFT to Mark Cuban for $50,000

Hello everyone,

I forgot about this coin or at least what it was and that I have a bunch. Then started reading there was a coin swap??? Well I still have a bunch of Storm.... So is it still possible to swap for StormX? or am i totalled screwed? The window seemed very small only 4 months? Not sure where this will go but thought I would inquire as I can't seem to find anything but posts about it.

Thanks


Same situation for me. Absolutely ridiculous they do a token swap and refuse to honor older tokens. UNREAL.

I once had a chance to exploit some shady Russian exchange. Didn't make a huge amount of money, but I was able to withdraw 2x of any ERC-20 token and rinse and repeat it for about two hours before they caught on. They asked for the money back and froze my account. Nothing else came from it.
