We can move our topics in bitcointalk forum to other sections, and moderators can do the same thing for us.
Is there some way to detect when topic is moved?
Maybe some bot or script exist that I am not aware of, but it would be interesting to have this option with notification.
I am not expert yet on this forum, but I think no way to do this, but we can make a suggestion on this forum about it. It will be easy for moderators to notify us through personal messages if our topic is moved and the board it is moved to. |

Does anyone else agree that it's way too easy to open an exchange nowadays,
It is not easy to open a safe and reputed exchange, but can be easy for scammers to set up a fake exchange. And then some of them do things like listing scamcoins that can be predicted to become worthless, ripping off investors. If a stock were to do this, their owners would go to jail.
There are scam in forex too but no opportunity to create new fiat money as all are centralized and owned by countries. Unlike, cryptocurrencies, they are decentrlaized and can be created by anybody, that is why some are subjected to pump and dump. And then other exchanges blatantly misreport their trading volume as much higher than it actually is. If a regulated forex platform would to do this, they would be heavily fined.
That does not mean it is not happening in forex, a lot of scams that happen in crypto is occuring in forex too Sure forex has their own share of scam platforms but in my opinion it is way too easy to set up an crypto exchange without worrying about the legal aspects. There should be more scrutiny and regulation around exchanges.
Imo, if you are talking about centralized crypto exchanges, they are also well regulated but there are some ways scam can be legit, a good example is the puming and dumping of coin. Aside forex, let me use a well reguated organization for you, have service sim provider scammed you before? They can scam people with as little as $0.1 dollar, why government never done anything? Imo, not that crypto exchanges are not regulated, there are shady scam in forex too and it is everywhere like that. It is we that should be careful. |

Zero fee blocks is possible but gone are the days, I do not even think there are wallets that can allow donor not to pay zero fee for their transactions. I really like this topic as it contain details about zero fee blocks.
With the level of adoption of bitcoin, zero fee blocks is impossible again as it has become the thing of the past because such transactions can no even have 1 confirmation and can not be mined into recepient's address.

For example, what's the difference between Stop Limit and One-Cancels-the-other and for Immediate or Cancel how long will it take before the order gets cancelled?
Stop limit or stop lossIt has three features: 1. Current price 2. Limit order 3. Stop price For example, bitcoin current price for tether is $9500, you can set the stop price to be $9300 and the limit order to be $9250. This means an order of $9250 bitcoin to by tether will be fulfilled mediately the price of bitcoin get to $9300 Immediate or Cancel (IOC)It means if you want to place the order, if the market price favor the order, the order will be placed immediately, but if the market does not favor the order, the order will be canceled immediately. For example, bitcoin price is at $9500, if you use IOC order at $9490 to buy tether, the order will be canceled immediately because nobody in your exchange to sell for lower price. But if you place IOC order at $9510, the order will be fulfilled immediately. So, this order if not fulfilled immediately, it will be canceled. One-Cancels-the-other (OCO)For OCO, you can use the below link for you to understand it. And from the link is the example below. https://www.google.com/amp/s/academy.binance.com/tutorials/what-is-an-oco-order%3famp=1You have 300 USDT in your account, and you think the overall trend of the BNB/USDT market is going up. You want to enter the market at a reasonable price. The last traded price of BNB is 28.05 USDT, and the resistance is around 29.50 USDT. You want to buy BNB when it hits 27.00 USDT, but you also don’t want to miss out on the opportunity when the price breaks the resistance price. Therefore you can place an OCO order with a quantity of 10, which combines a limit buy order and a stop limit buy order. The price of the limit maker order is 27.00 USDT. For the stop limit order, the stop price is 29.50 USDT and the limit buy price is 30.00 USDT. But I believe you know day trading is very risky, using lowest possible amount for it for months is better for learning. |

The YouTube video is really educative as I learn many things I do not know before about covid 19, it is now clear to me that people having the disease could possibly have medical conditions knowingly or unknownly to them, medical conditions like:
1. Coronary artery disease (CAD) also called myocardial infection, necrosis of the heart cells resulted as a result of blood cloths in heart arteries that led to embolism and throbolism, the embolism is caused by arteriosclerotic plague.
2. Asthma
3. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
4. Hypertension or increase in blood blood pressure
5. Peripheral artery disease
6. Obesity
7. Pneumonia
According to the epidemiological study, out of 100% people that were infected, 80% showed mild or no symptoms at all, roughly 15%-20% with pneumonia, 4% with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and/or shock, and 1% people that died.
With what I commented above, it is clear that most people that healed from the disease have good health conditions but few people with the conditions mentioned above or related ones likely died.
The best ways to deal with covid 19 is to:
1. Exercise daily, and this can also help reduce obesity
2. Eating healthy foods, especially fruits
3. Minimising stress
4. Not smoking
5. Having good sleep
6. Not drinking too much alcohol (low long term consumption or high short term consumption)
7. This is very important too, to have medical conditions under control.
As well can see, if all these listed above are practiced, they will all improve our immunity, and protect our body from mircoorganisms invasion to a great extent and also defending our body against any invasion and disease.
And do not forget to always use face mask and senitizers.

I have a question, why there is no Stop Market? A stoploss where you will set only the market price and the current price will sell/buy your stop market order.
For example, if the price of bitcoin is at $9100, and we place stop loss at $9080, it is possible that bitcoin can fall from $9100 to $9070 immediately which means the trade is too tight to be fulfilled, and will not be fulfilled unless the price increase to or above $9080. This may not happen, and the order will not be filled if the price continue to fall. So, that is just stop loss, the stop market you are taking about is the limit order, else the order will not be fulfilled, it just means for example, if bitcoin is at $9100, the stop loss to be placed at $9100 as the stop market you meant, this will not make the order to be fulfilled at all if the price is dropping drastically, and lead to more losses without any order fulfilled. So, in conclusion, the stop market you meant is practically impossible if the market continues to fall. To just make the order to be fulfilled, using a little price slightly below current price to make a limit order is better. |

This is a well written article about order types. I for one prefer to use the limit order, stop loss and OCO, the reason not using market order is because it is risky. It may not be so risky for strong coins like bitcoin because i have used it one or twice before and the price the bitcoin converted to tether was good. But I noticed it is not good for altcoin, especially if it has low market cap.
Market order vs limit order
Be it high or low market cap, limit order is the best option because you will be the one to set the price yourself and you can adjust it to a price your order will be completed in time.
There was a day I used market order to trade digibyte, the current price was at $0.0023 at the time but the order was placed at $0.19, this also happened to me when I purchase curio, and both were great losses for me. So, I am not using market order again. Using the limit order is the better for someone not to lose much funds while trading coins.
The stop lose if used appropriately, it has no issue, it really helps and so is OCO as well.

Please refer to this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5264627.0In summary, he was scammed twice. First was when he sent bitcoins to a ponzi scheme and second was when he paid a bitcoin recovery scam service in an attempt to get back his bitcoins from the ponzi. The story may sound ridiculous but it happens to many beginners. Some newbies still fall for different types of scams like fake giveaways and bitcoin doublers. Another example is the recent hack on twitter, the scammers used the accounts of famous people to fool followers. If not for Coinbase, 1,000 more users would have fallen victim. They stopped the $280,000 worth of btc transactions from being deposited into the scammer's account. Coinbase says it prevented just over 1,000 customers from sending around $280,000 worth of bitcoin during last Wednesday’s attack. Roughly 14 Coinbase users sent around $3,000 worth of bitcoin to the scam’s bitcoin address before the company moved to blacklist it, the company said. - https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/20/21331499/coinbase-twitter-hack-elon-musk-bill-gates-joe-biden-bitcoin-scamIf you or someone else you know fell victim to these scams, please be informed that the btc sent to scammers are most likely unrecoverable. If you ever encounter a site that says they'll get it back for you at a fee, do not fall for it because they are also scams. Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed and the only possible way I know to recover the funds is if the scammer themselves are careless in sending btc to centralized exchanges or services without obfuscating the transaction. This has been a scam, truly another type of scam I have to include to the list. If a person for being novice is scammed and scammed again through these recovery services, it will not make any sense and it is considered double losses. |

Choluteca Bridge was created to be able to withstand storms and huricanes which are common in North and South America, Huricane Mitch is atype which is very deadly, to the extent it affected many areas in the country (Hunduras) in which the bridge (Choluteca Bridge) was located, this rendered many people hopeless and over 7000 people were reportedly killed, it was a great hazard to the country at the time. The disaster started with hurican, then four days of rain falling which was said it is equivalent to six months rainfall in region, the hurricane during the period led to flooding which led to the disaster.
The most unbelievable thing that surprised me was the Choluteca River that later diverted from flowing under the bridge, after the all hazard abated, the river was no more flowing under the bridge but beside the bridge which even makes the bridge not to serve its purpose again.
This tells us:
1. How a tree can not make up a forest
2. How we should think about our lives from the beginning to the end in a way not only us we enjoy life but also our generations to come
3. We should make people around us also strong, not demanding or ridiculing them, these people can be of greater help tomorrow to make you useful
4. How centralization of power should not be fully implemented, there should also be decentralized aspect.
Supposing, all houses, bridges, and all other buildings were as strong as the Choluteca Bridge, many lives if not all, will be saved.
The bridge which thought would was useful was no longer that useful because the river is not flowing under it again.

Guy curio go fly no doubt. The supply is very low, 2million. And the team is very active, they deal on exotic cars. In its early days, just few months , is like it got around 0.10, I can see from my search in mar 24/25/2020 it low was 0.11 and you can see the progress so far. Is not up to a year, I think is good project from Asia region.
You talk say the coin don get 10x, I no know self, I see ham the first time I know ham for $0.22. Na the time I don see prospect for the coin, the coin later increase and get over 4x. Na good coin. But na altcoin wey dey pump fast and dump fast, but profit dey there if we get how its price dey fluctuate.

Are they? They did not bypass 2FA
I quoted this from the OP link source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-scammers-rebrand-jon-prossers-youtube-channel-as-nasaHowever, Prosser’s case is worrying as he reported the hackers used a SIM swap attack to gain access to his channel using its two-factor authentication (2FA).
But the way this happened is what we have to figure out. Because some information about someone can be gotten from sim swapping indirectly through different means, this would have possibly led to the attack as reported by cointelegraph. |

Probably, acidic conditions in the body, brought on by improper nutrition combined with pollution, is what is producing failing mental health. Then the failing mental health brings on the viruses.
What could the body acidity do to body, even in our body, carbomonoxide combine with water to produce hydrogen bicarbonate but in a quantity not toxic to the body, but during excess carbomonoxide production, this can cause excessive acidity called acidemia. The acidity you talked about is somehow unclear, can you make it clear? Please. He is well up in the Gluteus Max of the Pharmers, so you need to be careful when considering his opinions. It is a shame that they never discuss the underlying health problems that caused the recovery difficulty, or the pharmaceuticals that were administered to replace the natural healing processes. Mental stress is one of the problems that the government is increasing by escalating the supposed difficulties of this virus.
I wouldn't say you are wrong because there are truth in what you are conveying to us which is strong immunity. We believe in the old era, that virus, bacteria, protozoans and fungi that causes diseases also were fast mutating because they are microorganisms, but out immunity was able to transform to stronger ones to combat these diseases. Now, with poor environments with toxic chemicals govermants supposed to reduced, the way of living which is poor that medical practitioners supposed to advice people about, the type of good intake which are high calories in nature, moving away from fruits like carrots, cucumbers, citruses and many more. All these has made our imunity much lower or unable to transaform to a stronger ones that are likely to combat new mutated deadly microorganisms. We should not just drive away from traditional healthy living, now fully only believing in modern medicine, this is reducing our immumity to a less strong ones in a way mutated mircoorganisms can easily invade human body, this may not be well realized now, but the future will speak of this. |

Don't use a password generator website. Thousands of Bitcoins have been stolen this way. Even if you use if offline, it is HIGHLY LIKELY to give you intentionally or unintentionally predictable output.
If the random password generator is offline, there is nothing bad to use it, but I consider it stressful than to randomly input different characters on my keyboard, but that does not mean it is not safe, nothing connected it online, but use the recommended ones. If connected online, then it is not advisable because we do not know what is running underground to steal the password online in the process of creating it. |

The attacker used sim swap attack to gain access to Jon Prosser’s 2FA, the 2FA is used to access his YouTube Channel and renamed it as NASA which is used to scam people.
We need to be careful of free giveaway, they are not free but scam and fake as fake can be.

Maybe you think 95% of your losses is because you are using stop loss but No. It is because you are still learning how to trade. Stop loss is a very good feature in trading, although you will lose very little instead of losing more. That is the essence of using stop loss.
If you think day trading is not favoring you, do not blame stop loss, but choose swing trading, you will not have to consider the little losses but still hold for a little while, possibly the coin will rise back, but this also depends.
Also learn daily about trading to increase your gain. With what you said, it is like you are not patient also, you need to be patient while trade.

To create a password yourself, it will be good to create it randomly using your phone or computer, I do this by typing randomly capital and small letters and other characters on my keyboard. For example: Aghdh#+&:$?!%-%;%+472#!'AG&eu2766vgdgxttdbd2765;"&$-$;+%6&@3$((+++?$;":$;#-$"&&$&$;ADo not use this, just an exampleThat characters above is generated randomly by me just typing on different characters on my keyborad, which i believe no one can brute force it, it is safe because I generated it offline. Strong passwords can not be saved off hand, having the backup on paper in a safe place is better. You can try another recommended way below, it will be better to use offline random password generator as online online one are not safe at all. Check the topic below, it can guide you to how to create a very strong password, the longer the password the lesson likely for it to be brute forced. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5132378.0For every website that we are using especially those required a password, mostly are our email, crypto exchanges, forum accounts, social media accounts, etc. are requiring to make our password strong and secure. Did you follow them? or did you create a password that is too short? Common passwords? Well, that is bad practice. By using a strong password, it will help our accounts more secure against hacker over the internet. We need to know first some example passwords that aren't advisable or very common one.A. All of these passwords are very common and you should not use it!B. Never use passwords that include your personal information such as: - Name
- Date of birth
- Place of birth
- Your address
Reason because why you should not ever include some of your personal information on your password because it will be an advantage on the hacker if he/she know some of your personal info, he/she can easily guess your password by using them. C. Never use common Substitutions: Examples: - D0gH0us3
- W33kdays
- IL0v3D0gs
Using of these kinds of password is really obvious, like D0gs , you just replaced the o with a 0. It can easy to brute force attack, just by replacing some common characters with some numbers or letters.
Creating your strong passwordsSince we already know what kinds of password that shouldn't be used, we can now proceed now on creating a strong and secure password. - Make sure your password is long,
mix of capital/small A-Z alphabets,
0-9 numbers,
special characters such as &^$#
Like S5#A$B1dpqzM^UMk , but this is very hard to memorize.
How to memorize these kinds of password? :
- The sentence method:
This idea of this method is you will create a password from a random sentence or any sentence created by you.
Example:
You will take every first 2 characters on each word from the sentence "I Was Born At 2:35pm In The Country Of Germany"
Result: IWaBoAt2:InThCoOfGe
- Using Passphrase
Passphrase is consist of multiple words, the randomness of every word for creating a passphrase makes it strong.
Example:
"Dog in the dark" - Word make sense and it is grammatically ordered.
"hulk touch adjourn omega" - Don't make sense phrase, not in grammatically order.
You can use this password by capitalized every second character of every word, adding a special character between the words.
Like hUlk&tOuch$aDjourn@oMega -
You can use the Sentence Method here, for example, taking every first two characters of every word, capitalized every 2nd character of the word and adding random special characters.
"hUlk tOuch aDjourn oMega".
Result : hU#tO!aD*oM$
- Using random password generator,
Also, wouldn't feel comfortable using an online tool like Avast to generate passwords. Much more comfortable using an offline tool to generate passwords like a password manager eg. https://keepass.info/ With KeyPass, you can generate strong passwords in 2 simple steps. Step 1: Select dropdown box Step 2: Select the strength required of your password Note: You can also customize what characters are allowed / disallowed in your passwords when they are generated which is handy.  Lastly, using password managers also solves the problem you mentioned of passwords being "hard to memorize".
REMOVED the Avast Random Password Generator, since I found that the offline and open-sourced one is much safer.
- Password Manager
Using a password manager will help us to ogranize our different password on different website. I will suggest to use https://keepass.info/, this is open-source project and free.
Steps on how to use KeePass password manager:
1st, Download and install the KeePass, you can use the portable version or the installer.
2nd, Once the installation is done, you will be asked for the master password and the location path for the KeePass KDBX File (.kdbx) where you can use that as your backup.
3rd, Fill up the fields.
You can just easily copy/paste your password in different entry you made, by just double-clicking it on password field. Password will paste on your clipboard and will automatically delete after 12 seconds.
*Make sure you save your database of KeePass safe and remember your master password on the database*
Thanks whotookmycrypto and OmegaStarScream for this.
Android Version:
KeePassDroid
I just found an android version for password manager/password generator which is also open-source and you can use it offline.
The good thing here you can import your database file from your KeePass in windows. They are almost the same.
Read/write support for .kdb and KeePass 1.x.
Read/write support for .kdbx and KeePass 2.x.
TIPS- Do not share your passwords to anyone.
Be careful who you trust, never share your password.
- Use a different password for every account you have.
Just like on different crypto exchanges, don't use only one password for every exchange you have.
- Always create long passwords.
The most recommends password contains a minimum of 8 characters or 12 characters
- Never upload your passwords to the cloud.
Avoid storing your passwords online, like storing it on some file hosting services.
- Always use two-factor authentication(2FA) or multi-factor authentication (MFA).
This will help your account more secure, since before you can log-in on a particular website.
- Be careful on Phishing websites.
Even how strong your password is, once you fall in phishing website, it's useless.

It is better to focus on one than to be diversed on what are risky, to even learn crypto trading is not easy at all, because of this, it is good to just focus on one. Some people will leave crypto for forex but lose. I prefer to only know about crypto trading, I have been learning for months and I know there are more opportunities in crypto trading than forex trading.
A good example is the swing trading which is not realistic in forex unlike crypto, another example is to trade profitable cryptocurrencies like bitcoin or ethereum, getting the time of investment rightly will make the price increase, and you will gain. But all trading are risky.
Aside crypto investing, even trading crypto is better than forex to me imo, but let us hear other out.

I attempted to send bitcoin from my Electrum account, but the coins in the Electrum account were cash.
This need more explanation. But if I get you right, you set the balance to display dollar, if so, you can press on the balance to display the fiat you set but only bitcoin is stored on electrum, electrum can only display bitcoin in fiats but if you press on the balance back, you will see your balance in bitcoin again. The recipient is of course showing the transaction, but it's showing zero received.
If the transaction that has not been confirmed show on recipient wallet, it may not appear yet on the balance, there are many wallets that does not work like electrum that will display the transaction not yet confirmed, the recepient use wallet that only display the balance when the transaction is completely mined. Do not be confused. Can I cancel the transaction? Is there anything I can do to get the coins back?
So far it is zero confirmation, you can still cancel the transaction, but you do not need this. I will like you to send the transaction id as pixie85 said so that we can track it for you. Maybe you use little amount of fee for the transaction, let us check this first and give you appropriate advice. |

This is likely one of the reasons why Bitcoin wasn't banned so far, if criminals make mistakes, it's really easy to catch them. If you ban Bitcoin and other crypto, criminals will have more reasons to move to Monero.
Scam has been existing before cryptocurrencies were created, in this modern time, people still mostly use fiats to scam, even if bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies are banned, scammerw will still always make use of fiats to scam. There are many ways scammers o this successfully in a way they can even not be traceable. In some instances, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are traceable than fiats. |
