You can also call the attention of @socks435 to update his list: ⚠⚠️⚠~Beware on active phishing Electrum websites~⚠⚠️⚠ (Collection list updated) .

Actually another one surfaces about a month ago:

PHISHING LINK - eleckctrum.org

The good thing is that it was reported and taken down already.

8003  Local / Pilipinas / [Gabay]: Paano gumawa ng extended seed sa Electrum on: December 20, 2019, 02:12:42 AM
Alam natin natin na ang Electrum ay isa sa pinaka magandang wallet sa ngayon dahil ito at light weight. Pero alam nyo ba na pwede kayong gumawa ng extended o custom seed nito para mas lalong ma protektahan ang wallet nyo? Well sapat na ang 12 seed na binibigay nito, pero pag na hack na ang seed nyo siguradong limas ang BTC. So sa pamamagitan ng extended seed, kahit manakaw ang seed nyo hindi basta basta makukuha ng hacker ang BTC kasi kailangan nya ang extended seed na kayo lang ang nakakaalam.

So narito ang mga steps:

1. The usual process na mag create ng bagong wallet sa Electrum pero pag dating sa step binigyan na kayo ng seed, mapapansin nyo na may "Options" button doon, i click nyo to at pagkatapos ay i check ang
"extend the seed with custom word" then click OK.



2. Click ang "Next" at mapupunta kayo sa screen na katulad nito, pwede nyo na ngayon ilagay kung anong seed extension ang gusto nyo. Syempre mas mainam eh ung kayo lang talaga ang makakaalam nito.



At ituloy ang processo ng pag gawa ng wallet.

Heto ang na generate na address na ang seed at extended seed:

Seed:
Code:
 winner position live vote keep gown leave focus position turtle quote guard
Extended seed:
Code:
 Test 1 Test2 Test 3 [space] 



Gumawa ako ng wallet na "I have a seed already" option.  At ginamit ang parehong seed sa itaas.



Pansinin nyo na magkaibang magkaiba ang bitcoin address. Yung nasa kaliwa ay seed lang at yung sa kanan ay seed with extended seed option.

So magandang pang decoy o dummy addresses. O katulad nga ng nabanggit ko in worst case scenario na na phished o na hacked ang seed natin hindi basta basta mananakaw ang BTC natin.

Pwede nyong subukan yan for educational purposes. Nandyan naman ang seed at extended seed na ginamit ko.

Just for the record though, this is the official product:

https://www.erisx.com/product/futures/

We can't really say that it is not popular, Bakkt started slow as well, but the last time I checked they've reach record volumes. Besides there's more hype on Bakkt than ErisX physical bitcoin future contracts offering. But we will have to see what will be the impact on the market.

8008  Economy / Speculation / Re: Two Years Ago, Bitcoin Was Over $19,000 — What Happened? on: December 18, 2019, 08:54:21 PM
2017 was just a bubble waiting to be burst. Lots of irrational buyers that time that really push the price to it's breaking point, so obviously it did go down, and go down hard. And this market is fairly new, we haven't seen that kind of meteoric rise before that's why many believed that the price will continue on its parabolic rise. But all signs are pointing that it had bubbled already, but investors chooses to ignore this signs. So let's wait for the next bubble to occur, 2021 (4 year cycle)?

Expensive lesson here mate. Mistakes do really happen even if you're an experience player, even if you notice it, I assumed it will be too late as the balls might be rolling already and you do hope that you're gonna win. I think in every games we play, there could be some fatal mistakes that can ended your day, like slots, when you can click max bet, etc. We just need to be careful or focus when playing specially on-line.

8011  Bitcoin / Legal / Kraken sued by ex-employee on: December 18, 2019, 12:12:08 PM
Official court documents:

https://www.docdroid.net/rbU65Yu/07071236.pdf

Allegations/Summary:

Quote
Runyon started work at Kraken as a financial analyst on 26 March 2018. Kaiser Ng, Kraken’s chief financial officer, was his immediate boss.

Runyon’s first assignment, starting 30 March, was to help with an audit. Ng told Runyon to “come up with anything for the audit list that would satisfy the questions without regard to how accurate the info was” — Ng wanted whatever would “check the box.”

In August 2018, Ng asked if he could use Runyon’s home address as his own — on legal, licensing and banking documents.

Ng claimed concern for his family’s safety, having heard of kidnappings related to crypto exchanges. Runyon wasn’t convinced, so Ng offered to pay Runyon $1,600 a month rent for a room in his apartment, so Ng could use that address on official forms. Runyon says Ng never paid the rent.

Runyon was concerned that several of the countries that Kraken dealt with were on the Office of Foreign Assets Control’s Specially Designated Nationals And Blocked Persons List. That is — they were sanctioned, and it was hugely illegal for Kraken to operate in those countries.

In March 2019, Runyon was asked by Ng to reconcile Kraken customer account balances with the company’s bank balances, in various currencies. Runyon discovered that Kraken’s bank accounts were millions of dollars short, compared to the total customer funds that Kraken should have had on hand.

Runyon called this to Ng’s attention — he was worried that someone had found their way into the system, and was bleeding the funds. Ng immediately removed Runyon from the project.

Around 7 May, Runyon noticed that two employees’ stock options grant vesting schedules were different in the program to what had been set in the 27 November 2017 Board minutes. He assumed it was an error, and corrected it. One of the two employees contacted him to learn how to exercise their options — and Runyon saw the numbers had changed back.

Runyon asked Ng about this. Ng told him the board was amending the terms — and that it wasn’t an issue because … the employee didn’t know about it.

Runyon asked to use some of his paid time off to deal with the stress of long hours at work, having taken none in over a year of employment. Ng approved the leave — then fired Runyon over Zoom chat on his first day of leave, nine days after the second time Runyon had brought the stock options issues to Ng’s attention.

What do you guys think? It looks like the whistle blower "exposed" what we knew about exchanges from behind, there are a lot of tricks being pulled to just fit their narratives, specially how Runyon found out that the exchanges are short of millions of dollars.

I checked another blog , where they have mentioned about few services and benefits of various exchanges ,

https://blog.coinbaazar.com/always-compare-the-platforms-buy-cryptocurrency/ , you can chek and post ur review

If you're going to compare all those exchanges, at least you should also write the disadvantage/cons. Not just the benefits so that readers will understand it and will used that info before joining any exchange platforms.

Was wondering though if there are contractual obligations for JCC Jr to pay money if he didn't make the weight? I remember that time when he faced Canelo, it was included in the contract because JCC Jr has the notoriety of not making weights.  Grin

That picture though that @bisdak40 posted, it seems he overdo this time.  Grin and he looks like drain as hell.
8015  Bitcoin / Legal / Canadian Bitcoin Scammer to Face Two Years Jail for $140k Twitter Fraud on: December 17, 2019, 09:52:17 PM
Canadian Bitcoin Scammer to Face Two Years Jail for $140k Twitter Fraud

Quote
According to court records on 16 December, brothers Jagroop Singh Khatkar and Karanjit Singh Khatkhar pleaded guilty of conspiracy to commit a Twitter scam in July 2018.

Two Canadian Scammers Stole About 23 Bitcoins

The two brothers stole about 23 bitcoins (valued at around $ 157,000 today) from a 63-year-old Oregon woman. They were also setting up a fake Twitter account to impersonate HitBTC in Hong Kong. Karanjit and Jagroop trapped the woman to share her login credentials. And then they used this information to remove 23.2 bitcoins from the woman’s HitBTC account on Karanjit’s Kraken account.

Karanjit was arrested in July, and Jagroop surrendered on Monday, the report said. Each also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit electronic fraud and money laundering. The two may serve a two-year sentence when authorities announce the sentence on 17 March. Jagroop is still finishing his university studies, awaiting his sentence.

court documents: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/16078568/united-states-v-khatkar/

At least justice has been served, but I don't know if two years is enough for this two. I don't know, but I have a feeling that once they got out, they will continue their cyber crimes here. And one of them are still in university? damn he just waste two years of his life.
