Strangely James Bilal Caan claims that he was the founder of bitcoin.. But lost his hard drive.. Is this possible??

What you guys think about James? Why he use this type of statement.. Specially his explanation about his hard drive?

Consider him a troll, do you honestly believed that Satoshi would just loss his privatekey just like that? The guy has above average intellect and he created a product that we today are enjoying. So I have doubts about Caan claims that he as Satoshi just lost his hard drive just like that and that is the main reason why he left suddenly. Also there's a lot of contradiction in his statement that makes me and the rest of crypto enthusiast doubt his authenticity.

What's your point of view on this?

It's gonna be interesting what will be the outcome, but I doubt that it will be on our favour. I mean the government of India has already shut down it doors, or shall I shall RBI. So this will be just delaying the inevitable, sad to day. And as much as all evidence pointing out that crypto will not disrupt their government or they are means to regulate it, RBI had move this decision already so this hearing is not like for formality sake.

This article states that the World Economic Forum shared that attackers managed to compromise 2 billion data records in 2017 and 4.5 billion in the first half of 108 blaming that Bitcoin could be a big part of it.

Ciphertrace recently reported a $3 billion loss due to cybercrimes and mentioned in their report that BTC still reigns the king of the dark web. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think cybercrime has increased because of crypto?

https://insidebitcoins.com/news/security-experts-tell-why-bitcoin-is-a-game-changer-for-cybercrime/235786

Ah and up to this year, bitcoin is still getting that notoriety of being the king of dark web? Almost all of the cyber crimes are attributed to bitcoin so I'm not surprised by the negativity even though we are still in 2019. But lest we remember, bitcoin is quasi anonymous, so it doesn't make sense of cyber criminals are using to used it because they can follow the footprints. If I'm a cyber criminal, I would rather used privacy coins here.  Grin
8464  Local / Pamilihan / Ano ba ang ProtonMail at posibleng itulong sa tin sa pag secure ng email on: August 22, 2019, 05:22:42 AM
Ano ba ang Protonmail:

Bago natin pag usapan to, mahalagang malaman ng lahat na sa crypto-verse napakahalaga na dapat secure ang mga email natin. Dahil pag ito ang na compromise maaari tayong mawalan ng crypto na hawak natin. Meron namang 2FA na tinatawag, pero importante din na ang ginagamit nating email services o provider ay secure at private, so dito na pumapasok si protonmail:

ProtonMail is an end-to-end encrypted email service founded in 2014 at the CERN research facility by Andy Yen, Jason Stockman, and Wei Sun. ProtonMail uses client-side encryption to protect email contents and user data before they are sent to ProtonMail servers, unlike other common email providers such as Gmail and Outlook.com. The service can be accessed through a webmail client, the Tor network, or dedicated iOS and Android apps.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProtonMail

Ano-ano ba ang lamang ng protomail sa ibang free email provider katulad ng Google?

[1] Dahil ikaw lamang ang may access sa iyong email, syempre ikaw lang ang makakabasa nito. Hindi katulad ng Google Will Keep Reading Your Emails, Just Not for Ads.

[2] Mas napapabuti ang iyong securidad - Meron tinatawag ang Protonmail na "zero access encryption", na ang ibig sabihin ay wala syang access sa ating email at kung saka sakaling ma hack pa din, kailangan nilang i decrypt ang message para mabasa lamang ang iyong pinadalang email

[3] Hindi rin sila nag logging o yung tracking - walang silang monitoring tools

[4] End-to-end encryption - ibig sabihin na encrypted ang mga pinapadala yung mga email using TLS encryption.

Paano gumawa ng libreng ProtonMail account:

Merong step by step guide dito, How to Create a Free ProtonMail Account

Meron din pala silang tinatawag na self-destructing email, yung email na mabubura after nyo i set ang kung ilang oras lang ito magtatagal. Yung parang Mission Impossible lang,  Grin

Official link: https://protonmail.com/
Othere reading materials in the forum: Warning: Gmail confidential mode is not secure or private

So siguro kung may oras kayo pwede nyo rin pag laruan ang pag gawa ng account dito.

Pwede kayo mag experience ng ProtonMail-to-Gmail, Gmail to ProtoMail, or ProtonMail-to-ProtonMail.
8465  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: [Gabay] Paano mabawi ang nahacked, nalocked o nawalang account on: August 22, 2019, 04:27:12 AM
Dahil nag dedicate ng dalawang tao o higit pa para hawakan ang mga kaso ng mga hacked account sa forum nato kaya mabilis na rin ang proceso ng recovery kumpara sa mga nagdaang taon.

FYI: The humans handling the new account recoveries system which was implemented late last year are a company that Cyrus created called Cryptios. alanst, 3dOOm, and Rizzrack -- the "mysterious newbies" who some people noticed -- are three of their employees. They've been doing a great job.

Although Cyrus created the company with bitcointalk.org in mind as their first customer, they are accepting additional customers. Their main specialization right now is high-security, social-engineering-proof customer support & community moderation.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5138349.0

Ang maipapayo ko din, kung maaari i check ko palagi ung IP address nyo dito: https://bitcointalk.org/myips.php. Ang mga hacker kasi dito nag eevolved talaga, pag na hack yung account mo hindi nila basta basta papalitan ang password mo o yung email mo. Ang gagawin nila ibebenta nila sa labas muna.

Tayo naman walang kaalam alam na binebenta na pala ang ating account o nabenta na. So pag login natin sa ibang araw di na tayo makapasok dahil yung posibleng nakabili eh syempre papalitan na yung password. Kaya kung may suspicious na IP na lumabas pag punta nyo ng https://bitcointalk.org/myips.php, palitan agad ang inyong mga password para tayo ay sigurado.

New Release: c-lightning 0.7.2

Quote
   Plugin improvements: External contributor Antoine Poinsot contributed dynamic plugins: this means you can now add and remove plugins to a running lightning daemon without restarting.
    New plugin notifications: invoice_payment tells you when an invoice has been paid, forward_event tells you when an HTLC is forwarded and channel_opened tells you when a new channel has been opened.
    Better handling of peer errors: together with Connor Fromknecht of Lightning Labs, we diagnosed and fixed a problem where we would receive a mysterious “sync error”. We now ignore this, as it was responsible for the majority of unilateral channel closes we were seeing.
    Better startup documentation: the README.md file has been overhauled, lightningd now has its own manual page, and there’s a helper script to connect you to a few long-lived nodes when your node first starts up.

8467  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin currency stability on: August 21, 2019, 11:54:42 PM
Bitcoin has started reacting to some economic news that affect USA and other developed countries and that is a sign of interest from citizens of those countries. I think bitcoin should benefit from the financial crisis or trade war between China and USA and it should naturally influence bitcoin price as investors will flip stocks and other securities to bitcoin as a safe heaven.

What made you say that? Recently, the domestic woes between China and Hong Kong was thought to push either country to hedge their wealth on bitcoin, but so far we haven't seen the effect. But as so far as the impact of the China-US trade war, it is still 50/50 in my opinion. If could have an impact, but it's gonna be short term though. Investors will likely put their wealth to a stable investments like gold or even real state.
8468  Economy / Speculation / Re: John McAfee Says Bitcoin Waking Up Again on: August 21, 2019, 11:16:07 PM
What I wanna know is how did he got so much attention from all around the world? I mean newspapers and to or just simply all media gives him way too much credit, I know he is a attention liking guy but nobody in their right mind should give this guy a mic to talk, how does he get all that attention?

He suddenly burst into the scene, I read somewhere that he became interested in crypto or bitcoin in general when he left MGT Technologies. Shift his attention to bitcoin and then make an unusual and out of this world predictions. And suddenly people started to follow him and buying his craft, then became this so called crypto influencer which doesn't make any sense at all.

I get that he once built one of the best anti-virus companies and if I am not wrong he sold it for a lot of money but right now he is literally nobody, he has absolutely no say in bitcoin and he doesn't even seem like a bitcoin expert in the crypto world, we only see him as an idiot. So if these media people just want to get clicks and what not then why are they spending time with him? We don't care and people who are not in crypto don't care neither, so it makes no sense.

He is no bitcoin or even blockchain expert, he just ride the popularity and people started to think that just because he build one of the successful anti-virus in the world and is a (borderline) genius he could probably do good with his predictions in crypto sphere as well. But we all know it won't happen.

Joakim Noah vs Dwight Howard as replacement for Boogie, who you got?

As far as having the right mentality of the game? I would pick Noah, hard worker that doesn't complain as much as Dwight Howard though. He will simply play the game as hard as he can to contribute whether it is in defense by getting the ball and make the opposing team to think twice before driving in the middle.

I'm with Noah. Although he doesn't put up the same number of rebounds/points, I think he plays better off the ball. Lebron and AD will surely get most of the ball and Noah can help out opening the lane.

Exactly, he can help in the ball rotation or can simply be the recipient of James assists.
8470  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I LOST 0.40 BTC BECAUSE OF AN GMAIL ACCOUNT on: August 20, 2019, 05:26:04 AM
It's not Google's fault here. What happen is that his gmail account was hack but we don't know if he had set up 2FA (but he says he received sms) so I'm confused as to how he was hacked, unless the hacker had his physical phone taken (or lost) to be able to login.

With regards to losing .4 BTC, I'm assuming all his information is on that email and that's how the hacker was able to login on exchanges and stole his BTC. But we need more clarification from the OP.

The Miocic-Cormier 2 was really the highlight of UFC 241. Both fighters were just rolling through the punches and it was an awesome slugfest. Cormier may have spent too much energy trying to finish Miocic early and he could no longer sustain it in the championship rounds. Great strategy and thinking for Miocic going to the body.

Correct, even if Miocic was battered in the early rounds, his chin really hold up and DC slowing down gives him the perfect opportunity to turn the tide into his favour. He saw the opening, took his chance specially with the body shot and it paid off in the end.

The Diaz-Pettis did not live up to the hype I think.

Pettis is done already.

I'm really stoked for khabib vs poirier although I don't think poirier has any real chance, I mean he lost badly against Mcgregor, how is he going to win against Khabib? He doesn't have better wrestling and his stand up skills are perhaps a bit better but still, seems extremely unlikely.

Poirier be better prepare with Khabib's takedown, otherwise it will be just McGregor vs Khabib fight, one-sided.

Draymond started to get a bit more like the day he started to argue with KD on that last possession day. Dude is not a clean player, he does a lot of bad things and we all remember his old "shooting motion" thing and what not which is why he was never really liked in the league, dude was just a dirty player simple as that. However he stopped doing all his other dirty stuff but kept his good defense and he has really shown leadership.

On top of my list as a defensive player award being dirty? Dennis Rodman and Ron Artest. So that's their style, trying to intimidate and rough players in the paint. But in the end, I would say that it is very effective, because the game is very physical. As a fan, we might not like what we've seen, but then again those guys really knows how to take advantage and again the intimidating factor.

Curry is definitely the best player in that team, Klay is amazing shooter and what not but no matter who you ask Draymond is the leader of that team, he really knows how to handle teammates and how to pump them up and talks a lot during the game so it is easy to give him 100 million. It is of course a bit of "thanks for what you have done for us" but at at the same time some of it is for the future leadership as well.

Draymond said that he decided to stay with GSW because the core team is still there, so still likes what he is seeing plus adding Russell in the line up makes him more exciting to stay in with the GSW organisation with a cool $100 million.

@tokeweed - how much you won on Stipe?  Grin. From day one you have been talking about Stipe taking this one so I assume you made a significant bet. Good call!!

I think its more of DC getting tired and gassing out and Miocic taking advantage of it. The landscape has change again with this win and more story board (I'm sounding like @bbc.reporter here Cheesy) branching out.

Congrats to those who won in this event.

I've long given up on the altcoin-boards, but Bitcoin Discussion should be much cleaner.
I notice a lot of people who mainly post links to bitcoinist.com or cointelegraph.com. No doubt they're being paid for it.

Thank you LoyceV, I been noticing that as well, and I went as far as 6-7 page deep of the Bitcoin Discussion thread and reported as least 10 post in the last 12 hours. Those guys are really paid shill, just posting the articles links without giving their thoughts, worst, there was one newbie, just posting the link. Luckily all my reports are 100% success.

Shouldn't this be restricted to the Press board? They basically just copy some text, add a link, and create a topic.
Or, as an alternative, these links could be restricted to one big topic only. There's no need to create many different threads only to promote a certain website.

I think they should be just restricted to Press Board. However, it doesn't make sense if those shill accounts (mostly newbies), will just post the link. It's better if they can stir some discussions.

Super laki ng mga nawala ng dahil sa pishing. Need talaga ng mga information na ganito para naman ang mga walang kaalaman ay magkaroon bg Idea na huwag agad agad click ng click ng isang link dahil baka mamaya ito lamang ay kumukuha ng information about sa atin at mabuksan ang mga account at kunin ang mga pinag-ipunan natin tanadaan natin basta nasa online ka lahat maaari mangyari.

Malaki talaga kaya wag na tayong magpadagdag pa sa numero o statistics na yan.
Which is I observed phishing ay may malaking share sa mga lost funds whether from a famous or not famous exchange, gambling, mixers, wallets etc. here in Crypto industry this past 2017 till now. That's why dapat talaga may enough knowledge lahat ng nagwo'work online kahit hindi crypto related.

Tama, edukasyon talaga ang mabisang pang laban sa mga criminal na to. Wala silang patawad, kahit sino talaga, kahit saan mang bibiktima sila pag nakakuha ng panahon. Kaya kung "well educated" tayo at may "enough knowledge", hindi tayo basta basta magiging biktima ng mga to, at maari tayong makapag bigay babala sa ibang tao kasi baka sila naman ang biktimahan ng mga kawatan at criminal sa online world.

Eddie Hearn warns Andy Ruiz Jr to honour Saudi venue for Joshua fight

Eddie Hearn has warned Andy Ruiz Jr he must honour the contract for his rematch with Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia after the Mexican-American insisted the bout would take place in the United States.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/aug/14/eddie-hearn-andy-ruiz-anthony-joshua-rematch-saudi-warns
Ruiz dont want no part of a Saudi Arabia rematch he says bring it back to America



There could be legal battle here if Andy Ruiz doesn't want to go to Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, maybe he just wanted more money, after all he is the champion here. But make no mistake about it, Anthony Joshua here is still the A-side so if I'm Andy Ruiz he should be better moving his ass and fight in Saudi and prove that he fight is no fluke.

Ruiz might be hyping the fight so that he is showing that kind of attitude. Yes, maybe he just wanted more money being offered to him because he is the champion. But he needs to realized that he sign a contract that a rematch would happen. He might not agree with the venue, but he doesn't want to go to a legal battle here because in the end it will just damage his career and reputation. He is acting like a diva now, I think upsetting Joshua and winning the belt gets into his mind and it is not a healthy sign.

I agree that Ruiz is hyping the fight, and will just sign the contract to fight Anthony Joshua in Saudi. Eddie Hearn is also a powerful man in boxing, so Ruiz needs to cooperate otherwise his career can be ruin by these powerful boxing managers in the industry.

We should look at the bigger picture here, what we have seen is just a minor correction, that what's been happening since we made a run from April-Aug. There will be times that we thought that the bears has taken over the market again. And the next thing we know, the bulls are back and people started to FOMO again. So I would not be surprise to see roller coaster ride and then investors taking the opportunity for every dip to fatten their wallet.
