Watford were brilliant today. Manchester United were off the pace but got in to the game towards the end, by then it was too late for them trying to save it.
I dunno what's happening to David De Gea. That first goal gave Watford a little more confidence. Pogba's presence later in the game kind of affected United game play. I think he will be more helpful in United's upcoming matches

Every goalkeeper has a bad day at the office a few times every season. I think he was probably thinking about catching the ball and sending it out to start an attack and it just went through his gloves. Pogba did influence the game when he was put on the pitch but will he be sold to Real Madrid in January?

Watford deserved to win that game.

Sensational win for Watford against Manchester United.
It is their second win and they where proud to wear BITCOIN logo on their shirts today Smiley
Odds for home win was huge.

Tottenham just could not cope with Chelsea. Lampard had his tactics spot-on whereas Mourinho had no answer to counter the Chelsea threat.

Yeah, I like the smartphone version a lot--I just downloaded the PC version and did notice that there's no password option, but that's OK.  I'm not storing much on it and don't really plan to, but I've got small amounts of some altcoins and didn't want to use my Ledger for them.

I've always liked Coinomi as a multicoin wallet, and I prefer it over all of the other ones I've tried.  Jaxx and Exodus both suck ass IMO, and from what I've read they aren't even secure.  At least with Coinomi I have a seed phrase for recovery, which I don't remember getting with either Jaxx or Exodus.  Other members would have to vouch as to whether Coinomi is secure, but I'm pretty sure it is and that's the most important thing.

Anyway, I've had a Coinomi wallet on my phone for a couple of years at least and I've never had any issues with it whatsoever.  I'd definitely give it a thumbs up.



I decided to uninstall it after testing it because of this thread: WARNING - Coinomi Wallet CRITICAL Vulnerability Made Me Lose My Life Savings

Regardless of the reason the user lost funds, I think the fact it is not open source is an important factor too.
You can read our official statement and independent review of this issue from this thread: https://twitter.com/kimionis/status/1131945228506738688?s=19

With regards to being open source, We decided to close our source code as many new users in the space were being tricked into thinking that various cloned apps were official releases of Coinomi which lead to them losing funds. Whilst we agree open-source provides the ability to audit code, you can never 100% verify that the code from GitHub is the same as that which is pushed to the app stores which is the same for every single open-source application.

You may also choose Coinomi for the wealth of features which many other wallets may not have including;
- Full native segwit support for all segwit supported assets.
- Web3 Dapp browser
- Collectible Support
- 118 blockchains supported and ALL ETH/BEP2/NEM/TRC10/OMNI tokens supported
- Multiseed support
- Enhanced privacy features: https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000030207-what-are-coinomi-s-privacy-features-

No user has ever lost funds due to Coinomi and all such cases have been pinpointed to user error which includes;
- Saving the recovery phrase in an incorrect order
- Sharing their phrase with others
- Saving their phrase in an email account or cloud storage
- not saving their phrase at all and then losing their device or uninstalling the app
The list could continue....

And that applies only to Coinoimi? That justification is nothing more than an excuse to keep the project as a close source as keeping that as a rule any and all projects available worldwide would be in the same boat and nothing Open Source would exist.

It is nothing more than a ridiculous excuse that has almost zero merit. Though some scams have taken place by uploading malicious software to Github how many of those have come from official channels and repositories?

I am astounded that a representative of any organisation would make such a post. I reiterate my request asking forum users to stop using Coinomi as precaution until or unless it becomes open source.

Great list! Thank you for providing these information. This post should be pinned for reference.

Thank you. If it can help save just a handful of people from getting scammed then the list would have served its purpose.

Stiff competition is probably one of the reasons they are trying to be very active or else they go down the drain.  I also remember they recently announced that Bittrexx International would stop operating in dozens of countries due to the "uncertain regulations" there... so they have to maximize else where.


Is it too little too late for them?

As logfiles mentioned competition has been fierce for so long so either they try to turn the tide and lift Bittrex to a higher level or basically they fall in to the cesspit of other trash exchanges
8506  Economy / Exchanges / Re: HitBTC.com - The most advanced cryptocurrency exchange on: December 20, 2019, 11:01:27 AM
Coin Market Cap has liquidity ranking and HitBTC has largest liquidity, larger than Binance. It trading fees are extremely low, lower than Binance. Liquidity and low trading fees are likely to attract big traders there still.

I refuse to believe that figure is real. Somewhere as shoddy as this joint will not attract more business than competently run exchanges with, like, identifiable people running them and actual regulation.

This exchange is hardly ever mentioned outside this thread and when it does it's almost always negative.


It really is time for CMC to stand up and accept responsibility for allowing the space that helps scammers facilitate their scam.

With CMC allowing any exchange to send any figures and then for CMC to display them is playing its own very important part in the scam process.

This just in:

EFL Cup semi-finals:


source

Manchester derby!  Shocked


Manchester derby = perfect for LFC Wink
Two intense games for City, they will likely reach the final too so another game. Everything is working out for us this season.

Leicester in the semi finals too Cheesy


2020 could be the year Liverpool are English champions again but they lost a massive lead last year. I think the gap might be even bigger this year and the way Liverpool are playing they should be champions.

Last season Liverpool had an 8pt lead over second place Manchester City at Christmas. This time it is Leicester City in 2nd place but how many points will they be ahead of their nearest rivals after the Leicester City vs Liverpool EPL match on 26th December 2019?

8513  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: The Rock Trading Scam www.therocktrading.com Exchange Review fraud opinion on: December 17, 2019, 04:30:34 PM
It's now 2 years that they blocked covertly all my withdrawals, including all crypto means, without informing me of the block or of any issue.

They just blocked the withdrawals, not the deposits or the trading, in order that more money could be trapped and more trading fees paid, even if their own TOS says that in case of block they have to inform the customer: "useful efforts by TRT to contact the User" (8.4 of their TOS: https://therocktrading.com/en/pages/terms-and-conditions).

They changed the link, but the TOS is still the same old one, that they are completely breaching.


I am completely convinced if they could go back in time to make the choice to selective scam you or not - they would choose to not do it.

They way they have been exposed and humiliated in this forum after you opened your threads to let us know about them and their scam, it was a spectacular disaster for Rock Trading and its scammer owner Andrea Medri because their business has been in a steep decline.

The two years you have had your funds stolen by them has been a 2 year failure of their website/exchange too. Very soon their Rock Trading website will vanish because nobody will use them but I hope they release your funds to you before they taken over by an administrator/liquidator.

CMC will report whatever figures these scam exchanges give them & have no shame - it is literally a platform for promoting scams if the bribe is right.
Couldn't have said better! I see CMC as the root cause of all these scummy exchanges and throwaway coins. They will literally put a potato on the market if the price is right. @JollyGood - Good stuff dude. Always been a fan of your investigations.

Thank you for your kind words Joel_Jantsen, it is most appreciated.

I wish I was more active here and being more productive as far as contributing to scam busting is concerned but I have had to take a back seat for the last couple of months because there is a lot happening outside crypto-world for me so I decided to make fewer posts. Hopefully I will start to become more actrive in the scam-busting department soon.

@AngryBeur has disappeared from Twitter...

Most closely related reason for it would be him being embarrassed of himself looking at the accusations against him on bitcointalk. It looks like an overall community success on bitcointalk towards building more cleaner crypto environment.

Asshole !
I think you have misunderstood the situation.

The user called AngryBeur on Twitter was exposing coinsbit, p2pb2b and all the other scam exchanges operated by Ukrainian scammer Valerii Solodovnyk.

The fact he is no longer on Twitter is somewhat sad. I hope he will return at some point. Personally, I am grateful for the tweet he made helping let others know about Ukrainian scammer Valerii Solodovnyk and the scam exchanges he uses as vehicles to steal from people.



@AngryBeur has disappeared from Twitter...
Yes he has disappeared from Twitter but here is the post he made which was subsequently widely quoted

I wonder why he closed his Twitter account

Anybody who falls for these types of buy-back related projects should be aware the greater majority if not all are scams.

How on earth can anybody take your project seriously, it is a complete and utter farce.

Looking at your website and the way you have tried to ensure anonymity as well as the structure of return on investment clearly shows this is not a real project at all. It has all the hallmarks of a scam.

Yup - they're also using fake/stolen images for their team members:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5205331.msg53314226#msg53314226

Stay away from this scam outfit!


Looks like on this occasion we have been very successful in repelling the attempts of p2pb2b and its Ukrainian scammer owner Valerii Solodovny in trying to divide the community by using a bounty campaign in a failed attempt to get some users to back it against scam allegations.

When the community takes a stand against scammers it shows how powerful a tool we can be and that makes me very proud of our united efforts. A big thank you to you all  Smiley
8519  Economy / Reputation / Re: P2PB2B SCAMMERS - resolving "scam alerts" and misunderstandings on: December 16, 2019, 05:19:25 PM
They should have rather accepted being shady and try to prove us that they have become legit somehow. But there core was shady afterall, and they already knew they were fighting a fake fight. Dick Move !


As ridiculous as it sounds the fact of the matter is there were some users from this forum that were all too happy to provide their services to promote p2pb2b in their bounty campaign.

How was it possible that some of us completely disregarded the disgraceful p2pb2b bounty campaign yet others decided to fall for it? In some cases sure it was clear some users decided go for money even though they knew the p2pb2b background however for those that were not familiar with the history of p2pb2b (or Ukrainian scammer Valerii Solodovnyk who operates multiple fake exchanges including p2pb2b and coinsbit.io) easily fell for the trap.

Anything related to Valerii Solodovnyk must be avoided: https://twitter.com/AngryBeur/status/1191416253564571650 who own various scam exchanges
