8381  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: Pilipinas - sMerit Distribution Summary on: September 13, 2019, 10:00:02 AM

Any concern regarding sa merit distribution ng ating local?

Sa akin opinion, parang kulang pa ang merit distribution sa local boards natin. Mantakin mo may araw na 0 merit? anyare? hahaha.

So tingin ko sa mga high ranking dyan, siguro mas maganda kung i share nyo ang ang merit nyo dyan dito sa board natin. Kasi wala rin talagang wenta pag ni hoard natin to. Tsaka base sa experience ko sa pang rank up, inabot ako ng taon talaga. Pero nung natutunan kong mamigay ng merit, (may time na ubos merit ko, kundi ako nagkakamali sa 300 palang ako, meaning 50 merit palang ang nakukuha ko), pero may kapalit naman ung naubos ko na merit na yun. Dumating ung oras na nagugulat ako naka likom na pala ako ng as much as 30 merit at tinuloy ko lang ang pagbibigay ng merit hanggang nag rank up ako.

So tip lang sa ayaw magbigay ng merit dahil natatakot sila na hindi sila makakatanggap subukan nyo lang yan na experience ko. Maaring hindi tumugma sa inyo pero in the long run may makaka appreciate nito ang maari kayong bigyan ng merit. Kaya wag panghinayang ubusin ito, kung sa tingin nyo deserving yung pag sagot o talagang nakatulong sa diskusyon, sige lang diba?

I never face this situation. Until now, I thought Electrum doesn't push any pop-up for updating a wallet. How a user can identify if it's the fake link or the original wallet? What exactly will be the message from the official pop-up? How can we distinguish between both the fake one and the original one? Please share a little more information. Thank you.

If you are interested in what a false message looks like it is displayed in theymos post 9+ months ago when he post warning about this Electrum vulnerability.

Let me quote:

Quote
Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn’t want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn’t want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.

- Eric Hughes in a Cypherpunk’s manifesto in 1993

Kaya hindi ako naniniwala na “I don’t care about privacy, I have nothing to hide” attitude.

Kailangan parin natin na maging ma-ingat tungkol sa privacy natin, as mas maganda nga wag na natin makukuwento kahit kanino maliban sa ating asawa (in my case). Kasi nga di natin alam ang takbo ng utak ng ibang tao sa paligid ligid, lalo na nakikita nila na parang bigla kang umangat sa buhay.

May instance pa nga na pinag ang tiningin involved ako sa droga dahil nga nung bull run maganda ang kinita dahil sa trading at HODL lang. Kaya tama nga ung pumasok ang bear market at least tumahimik din ang lahat.

Kaya mas mainam na "less talk, less mistake" na lang tayo at ingatan na lang ang ating sarili sa mga social media sites na rin. Sa mga personal social media sites natin mabuting wag na banggitin ang tungkol sa pagkaka involved sa bitcoin or wag na ipagmalaki kung gaano na kayo kaasenso dahil sa crypto.
8386  Economy / Exchanges / Coinbase UK Agrees to Return 60 BTC to Victim of Email Phishing Attack on: September 13, 2019, 05:15:20 AM
It looks like Coinbase has quietly settled 60 bitcoin to a victim of a phishing attack

Quote
Robertson lost his Bitcoin in a spear-phishing attack, when the email account of a firm in which he was investing was hacked. 60 of the stolen Bitcoins were then diverted to a digital wallet that was held by Coinbase. Another 20 were sent to local exchanges. Roberston then received a Bankers Trust order to reveal the identity of the wallet holder and to see whether it was the same person who made the transfer.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/coinbase-uk-settles-lawsuit-with-victim-of-email-phishing-attack

I can't find anything on Coinbase blog but I received this news from my feed.

The victim here is CEO of Alphabit Liam Robertson.

It could set a precedence but we will see, I don't know if this is the first of a kind that involves huge trading platform such as Coinbase.
8387  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CipherTrace Enters Race to Solve Crypto's FATF Compliance Headache on: September 13, 2019, 04:54:41 AM
i think the american government is more likely to indirectly target mixers by implementing "know your customer's customer" standards like those seen in the FATF travel rule. basically, they'll pressure services to blacklist non-complying services like mixers. anyone who doesn't fall in line is at risk of adverse government action. the exchanges police themselves.


Right, they going to like "flex" their muscle again, maybe ala BTC-E seizure most likely in the future. Interpol/EUROPOL also have this sort of mentality as in the case of Bestmixer.io last May.

I suggest everyone to brace yourself next year about this new regulations and policies. Maybe some exchanges will stay in their ground and try to protect themselves, but which pressures coming at all angle, just a matter of time before they succumb. And it will create a lot of mess, maybe exchanges will run to a supposedly safe haven countries, who knows.
8388  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CipherTrace Enters Race to Solve Crypto's FATF Compliance Headache on: September 12, 2019, 01:09:02 PM
@figmentofmyass - I think FATF just made a recommendation about sharing informations across all exchanges. FINCEN is in charge of "enforcing" Travel Rule. BSA (Bank Secrecy Act) of 1996 was amended in 2012 to include all electronic funds transfer. I'm assuming it includes crypto and the threshold is $$3k or more.

I think crypto mixers falls under the definition of VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) and also includes exchanges. So I don't know if they are going to comply with this new rules or take the risk of being shutdown.

I guess there will be no privacy here, as the guidelines states that originator and receiver should exchange information. And the thing is, there will be a something to validate everything, a certificate authority (CA) to protect the communications between VASP.

It looks like there are more hype in this fight as expected.

Spence-Porter FOX Countdown Show Drew 604,000 Viewers

According to Nielsen Media Research figures released Tuesday, an average of 604,000 viewers watched FOX’s live airing of “PBC Countdown: Errol Spence Jr. Vs. Shawn Porter” on network television. The 30-minute program aired on the East Coast late Saturday night, following FOX’s live telecast of a college football game, Penn State’s 45-13 win over Buffalo, that aired in prime time.

https://www.boxingscene.com/spence-porter-fox-countdown-show-drew-604000-viewers--142428

This is big numbers I do hope that it will reflect on the actual fight and draw close to that numbers as well. It means that boxing is still on the mainstream although we don't have Mayweather as top US boxing attraction.

I doubt that will translate to PPV buys, nobody really cares about Porter to be honest, people had high hopes early in his career but he never really reached his full potential. Now he's slightly older and has been beaten odds of him being great are pretty low.

TBH, even Errol Spence isn't that big of a name, not too many people care about what happens in the lower weight classes, unless it's Canelo.

Let's see mate, his numbers if I'm not mistaken was around 360,000 PPV vs Mikey Garcia.

Fury vs Wilder is around 325,000.

So probably doing 400,000-500,000 PPV is not bad after all right?

Hinahanap ko kung sino sino ang nakalaban nila sa kompetisyon. But so far wala akong makita mismo sa blocnomics. Anyways, kung rehistro ang pakay nila maganda tong layunin na to dahil alam naman natin na di basta basta mabubura o madadaya pag ang data ay nasa blockchain.

Katulad ng tanong ni @GreatArkansas, pagkatapos kaya ma rehistro lahat ang mga kapatid nating Indigenous mula sa Caraga, ano ang susunod na hakbang? Maaari ba tong iintegrate sa lahat ng serbisyo ng gobyerno natin? O sadyang rehistro lang talaga muna ang pakay nila sa ngayon? Sinasabi sa article na i connect nila ito sa "larger market of Southeast Asia and the world." Paano kaya nila gagawin to eh sa local palang naman baka mahirapan na tayo mag connect nito?

8397  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin ATM Operators in Nevada Requires License to Operate on: September 11, 2019, 07:03:14 AM
Locally, one bank here installed a crypto ATM. But before they can installed a fully operated machine, they have to undergo and follow regulations, i.e. here, the our central banks reminded that operators of crypto ATM's are considered to be "virtual currency exchanges', and as such as covered by circular and memorandum.

So I guess it's obvious that ATM operators are going to be subjected to laws that pertains to operating a crypto ATM machine wherever you are. And if you don't comply, you will be a target:

8398  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Canelo vs Kovalev WBO Light Heavyweight Championship on: September 11, 2019, 04:55:47 AM
Kovalev is done, he is way past his prime here. I was not impressed by his win against Yarde last August. Has still the same weakness from body shots. We all know that Canelo regularly throws body shot so I'm not seeing something special at Kovalev at this stage. Just his belt and I'm sure Canelo will win by either KO/TKO here.

So we could just say he is doing this for the money? Or he could be a hopeful boxer to revive his career despite the age. Canelo only lost one which was with Floyd and that it. I even think he won that fight. But its certain Canelo is the top fighter who beat the hell of the big names in boxing.

Lol, boxing is a business, of course everyone is doing it for the money. I'm not taking away from Kovalev, he has done great throughout his career. If you look at this contemporaries, Hopkins, Andre Ward, Jean Pascal they are all done in their career at this point. He is facing Canelo here, at this prime and has all the advantage against him. I advise everyone to watch the full fight, not just the highlights of the knock out of Yarde.

Ang galing talaga ni CZ mag isip ng paraan kung paano palaguin ang business nya hahahaha.

Siguro mairing tingnan din naman ang history ng Tether, isa sa mg stable coin sa sumikat dati. Di ko lang alam hanggang ngayon. Hindi ko alam kung alam ng lahat na ang Tether at inakusahan ng NYAG (New York Attorney General) na ang Tether ay hindi backup ng USD na 1:1. Meaning wala talaga silang pera, ang ginagawa lang nila ay paikot at ang tinawag na fractional reserves na style din ng mga banking system sa buong mundo.

Quote
What is Fractional Reserve Banking?

Fractional reserve banking is a system in which only a fraction of bank deposits are backed by actual cash on hand and available for withdrawal. This is done to theoretically expand the economy by freeing capital for lending.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fractionalreservebanking.asp

At nung nagkaroon ng audit hindi ito tinapos at nagturuan ang dalawang party kung sino ang may sala. At ito ay inamin mismo ng Tether na hindi talaga 1:1 backup at 70% run talaga ang hawak nila. Kaya kanda kaso kaso sila.


Ngayon kung titingnan natin ang Binance USD ($BUSD), kaya ko nasabing magaling humawak si CZ, nakipag joint venture siya sa Paxos. Ang Paxos ang kauna unahang crypto firm na nakatanggap ng "trust charter" galing sa NYDFS. At ang Paxos din ang hahawak ng dollar reserves.

So mahirap na basta basta maakusahan ang Binance nyan na wala silang reserves at hindi 1:1 ang stable coin nila katulad ng Tether.

Pero matindi din talaga ang Tether ayaw pahuli at magpatalo hahahaha : Tether Now Supports Offshore Chinese Yuan (CNH), Launches CNH₮ Stablecoin.
8400  Other / Beginners & Help / {Warning}:New Phishing Campaign Uses Captcha to Bypass Email Gateway on: September 11, 2019, 04:05:41 AM
New Phishing Campaign Uses Captcha to Bypass Email Gateway

Quote
Phishing threat actors are using Captcha methods to bypass automated URL analysis. By using Captcha techniques to prove human presence, the phish prevents the secure email gateway (SEG), in this case Mimecast’s gateway, from scanning the URL thereby enabling the threat to get through. Here’s how it works.

Ok so it looks like cyber criminals have found a loophole again by hiding their bad intentions through Captcha.

To summarised:

[1] Unsuspecting victims received a phished email, saying that you have a new voicemail with a message preview, to attract the attention of the recipient

"Hey you have missed my call earlier.." and then it cuts. Now, human psychology tells you to go and click because you are interested on what this voicemail are.

[2] Once you click that embedded voicemail hyperlink, it will redirect you to a Captcha code site. Of course, (SEG) or secure email gateway can't scanned it for malicious content. And you can't tell it's a phished attempt on you at this point.

[3] Once you completed the Captcha code, you will be redirected to the "real" Phishing site. So it can mimic anything in this case, Microsoft account selector and login page. And once you input your credentials, done cyber criminals have all your info and your account.
