It's possible this is a genuine message, or maybe it's a joke.  Someone  invested their "business capital" in something they may not fully understand, which could lead to financial loss. Can you imagine his business venture if he is really that stupid and reckless? Perhaps this will be a valuable learning experience. As the saying goes, "Fools and their money are soon parted."

Freedom of choice exists on a spectrum, it's not simply black and white.  Families and society shape us, yes, but we still have the ability to blaze our own trails - the world resists simplicity.  In primitive cultures, knowledge flowed from elders to the youth out of necessity for the continuation of the group; still, the young found chances to stray from their ancestors' fields, else how do you explain innovation and progress? The rigid channels seen today likely bearing less resemblance to those lands than we envision.
83  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Fake Malicious script to "double spend" BTC (please help decode the script) on: April 12, 2024, 08:18:29 AM
Help is needed to decode the script for those who have some knowledge about code. I want to use it as evidence to report his google drive account.

Here's a partially decoded (deobfuscated) script:

If my understanding is correct, it looks like to be designed to send your backup seed phrase words to "https:// eoszaaexw5ctdb6.m.pipedream.net"

To sum it up - gambling can be fun, but you're risking money for a reason.  Sometimes you win, often you lose.  Because casinos profit from people losing not winning. The key is having the self-control to quit while you're ahead.

But as others have already noted, maybe you could use paragraphs next time.  Wink

The new address before I sent it k triple checked it eas correct in the clipboard and it sent to the new address which was on my account everything was normal except the message about the new btc address.

You do realize that no one else has seen that message, except for the few of you who are affected by this "bug"?

It's been rolled back to what it was before. Maybe since we deposit a lot they may have targeted us to save on fees is what I'm thinking.

This wouldn't make sense since fees are typically independent of deposit amounts. It would be more logical for them to focus on reducing fees for consolidating smaller deposits, not the other way around. Besides, they have no way of knowing in advance how much someone will deposit.

I'm not concerned the money hasn't been sent to freebitco.in as. I've followed the wallet transfers it's definitely with them..

I'm not so sure about that. I also tried tracing the blockchain transactions from the addresses mentioned, but couldn't find any evidence that they are related to known FreeBitcoin wallets. Can you point me to the evidence why you think these addresses are "with them"?

While I appreciate your two cents and observations i understand where your coming from not everything affects everyone.

Here's hoping we get our.money soon.

It would be helpful if you explained where that HTTPS request to bitwrecken.com came from. As Warfare pointed out, that domain is only 19 days old and there is no evidence that it has anything to do with the FreeBitcoin site. Can you post the source code that generated the GET request you saw in your dev tools? it could help us find the cause of the problem and also help prevent someone else from becoming a victim if it is a scam.

when logging in on the PC now fresh it makes a request via HTTPS to here https://bitwrecken.com/?action=new&id=482015 when clicking new deposit address and the response is 0 from the request. it should be 1.

Dude, that looks like a scam! There is no request to "bitwrecken.com" from freebitco.in in my logs when I request to generate a new deposit address.  It looks like you have malware on your computer.

It would be good if someone else can confirm this.


As long as there has been some form of redirection to that website to generate a new deposit address then it is definitely a scam,redirects were famous not that long ago when Windows machines were being targeted massively with this type of malware which in fact in those machines it stayed in the clipboard there and have made quite some damage.This sounds a lot like that only it redirected to a so called website and the money that goes through these generated addresses from victims go directly to the scammer/s website,that is very bad and it was quite some time I didn't hear about this.

Sigh... I did not say there was a redirect I said there was a HTPP get request they are different things. These are used in api calls for scripts and is normal.

There's nothing wrong with the site, I don't have malware, just to prove the point I'll check it on a new account to double check and a different pc.....

You need to look at network under developer tools chrome to check what request is being made and to where when you click the button..

I just checked this myself and can confirm that there are no suspicious external resources loaded via http/https GET requests from the freebitco.in website, especially nothing linked to that shady bitwrecken.com domain. You probably have some kind of malware or some script messing up with the code on your machine.

Clicking the "NEW DEPOSIT ADDRESS" button calls the function "GenerateMainDepositAddress();". This function can be found in the file https://static1.freebitco.in/min/main_6mar2024-2.js.  Here's the entire function:

Code:
function GenerateMainDepositAddress() {
    $.get("/?op=generate_main_bitcoin_deposit_address", (function(e) {
        var t = e.split(":");
        DisplaySEMessage(t[0], t[1]),
        "s" == t[0] && ($("#main_deposit_address_box").show(),
        $("#main_deposit_address_qr_code").show(),
        $("#main_deposit_address_qr_code").html('<img src="//chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=200x200&chl=' + t[2] + '&chld=H|0">'),
        $("#main_deposit_address").val(t[2]),
        $("#generate_new_address_msg").hide())
    }
    ))
}

So, as you can see from the source code, the correct GET call goes to "/?op=generate_main_bitcoin_deposit_address" from the main freebitco.in domain, not from an external site.
88  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mixers and their reason to exist in the bitcoin ecosystem on: April 07, 2024, 05:49:34 PM
Admittedly I've never made any transactions that I would feel need mixing...

This being said... well, sorry to say, but "you know nothing, Jon Snow".
Imho mixers have their use for people more privacy conscious than you.

Ah, yes. And yet he felt prompted to share his wisdom about something he doesn't know much about or understand people's need for such services.  Smiley

Yes, there's always a risk that some idiots may consider those coins of you "tainted", a risk some are willing to take and some not.

And these same idiots don't think twice about whether the banknotes they receive every day from strangers are tainted or not. Just because Bitcoin transactions are easily traceable on the blockchain, someone in the government thought it would be a good idea to limit its usability. The whole concept of "tainted" coins is a scam in itself, organized by governments.
89  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do we really need to blame fraudsters on: April 07, 2024, 05:17:59 PM
I understand the sentiment that people should be more careful with their crypto investments.  However, scammers exploit that carelessness in manipulative ways.  They impersonate companies and influencers, smooth-talk vulnerable targets in online spaces.  Essentially, they disguise themselves as trustworthy sources.  While personal responsibility matters the blame lies squarely on these wolves in sheep's clothing who lurk, waiting to take advantage and  carelessness may open the door, but scammers choose to step through it to harm others. So, I disagree with the OP about blaming only the victim, too.
90  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 2 cold wallets for my crypto assets on: April 07, 2024, 12:13:06 AM
Yes I think I understood what you said the first time, I just didn't realise that your crypto is still on the blockchain even when in your wallet.

"Crypto" is a broad term. There are tons of different cryptocurrencies out there, some working in slightly different ways.  Let's just stick to Bitcoin. That way, we can answer your questions more precisely.

In simple terms, wallets store your keys, which are essential for accessing your coins on the blockchain. Anyone who gets their hands on your wallet and its keys can also access your coins. It's like losing your apartment or car keys – if someone finds them, having another set hidden away won't help.

I was wondering: if your crypto is on the blockchain wouldn't it make sense to encrypt your personal details to ad to your assets so no one could steal them?
That way this crypto would be yours forever until sold?

All good wallets encrypt your personal data (private keys). That's why you have to enter a password or pin to unlock it.

How come then Ledger Nano X were hacked??

How come anything gets hacked? There is no such thing as absolute security.
91  Other / Off-topic / Re: How you can benefits from your loss ? on: April 06, 2024, 11:46:30 PM
Losing does really sting, even if it's something small.  I think we all wanna come out on top - it's just human nature.  But losing money gambling can really do a number on you mentally and  it makes you second guess everything you did, and leaves you feeling pissed off and defeated.   

But you made a good point about keeping your cool.  Flipping out won't make the money magically reappear.  What works better for me is taking a breather to calm down, then looking back at it all realistically.  Learning from those screw ups helps me be better prepared to play another day.

Nah, not a good idea! 

Just kidding! It's good. Cheesy At first glance, I like the design. Clean, modern, unobtrusive... As Aeroplanino already mentioned, maybe you could consider sorting options for those terms, and maybe introduce some categorizations for those who don't know exactly what they are looking for.  By the way, is that "Browse" menu item for future use or what? It doesn't seem to be doing anything right now.
93  Other / Off-topic / Re: Your gambling experiences shared here could serve as lessons to others on: April 05, 2024, 09:11:32 AM
Putting my gambling stories out there definitely isn't all sunshine and rainbows.  I guess you might think some unfortunate person might read about my errors and dodge those bullets.  but let's be honest – most folks see these kinds of cautionary tales and say to themselves, "Psh, that would never happen to me", but next minute they're back at the slots.

Only gamble what you can afford to lose, seriously.  Proper budgeting matters most, not wild stories after the fact.

Ne znam zašto je BitGoba pisao prošle godine da je knjiga zabranjena (povućena iz trgovina). Možda je to bilo neko drugo izdanje. Za PDF verziju ćeš se morati sam potruditi.

96  Other / Meta / Re: Identifying the linked-to post in a topic (SMF patch) on: April 04, 2024, 07:50:27 AM
PowerGlove, you seem to know a lot about the custom SMF front end, so let me ask you a question:

When you open the HTML source of this page for example, there are a bunch of "shadow" posts under the OP. These are invisible posts that have the same HTML structure as real posts, but they don't have anything inside them. There is usually a random amount of these displayed, anywhere from one to three. So what is the deal with that, and where do they come from?

There is a topic where this was discussed a bit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474601

As shahzadafzal explained, there is something in the backend that generates these "dummyPosts" and could be related to forum ads.

Only theymos can answer this, but I think it has something to do with the "ad", this bitcointalk ad that appears on every page after the first posts. Because I see there's a pattern, although the number will change as the ad changes, but the ID of this ad has something to do with these posts and this number.

Also, sometimes this post appears once, sometimes twice, or maybe three or four times in a row. It can be above the ad, or sometimes it's around the ad.

99  Other / Meta / Re: A recap of Theymos April fool Jokes from 2015 till date on: April 01, 2024, 10:19:20 AM

[/table]
01/04/2024
||A new system has been introduced to discourage shitposting and to reward good posters. Specifically, posts with fewer than 15 characters will result in a merit deduction, and posts of higher quality will earn you merit increments. However, the catch is that the merit you receive does not add up to your smerit, which means you will not receive any smerit to send out. Don't worry, it's all part of the April Fools' joke.

I think your description of this year's April Fool's joke is wrong. According to theymos and from what I observed, we will not lose merits due to posts shorter than 15 characters, but quite the opposite - for every 15 characters we post, we will lose one Merit point. The joke is that the system actually penalizes long posts, and encourages writing short replies to reduce "shitposting". Another thing you didn't mention is that there is a system whereby you will earn a bit of merit just by reading posts.
100  Economy / Speculation / Re: Your educated guess on BTC price at the end of 2024 on: April 01, 2024, 10:05:48 AM
What is your educated guess relating to the end of year BTC price?

The end of the year is still many months away, and bitcoin is famous for its crazy ups and downs. Now, the talk of 79k GBP (100k USD) - that's definitely on the optimistic side, but not impossible! Historically, we usually have a cyclical bull run about every four years, which occurs in the months after each halving and peaks in the year after the halving. If I had to speculate, I expect that by the end of the year we could trend towards (or  potentially reach) the $100k mark, especially if this bull run continues as predicted.  But of course, nothing is guaranteed. External factors can always disrupt the market.
