CMIIW, It seems like if you want to buy Bitcoin you have to use cash[1] and then redeem it on Coinme. So then, you need to bring your coins, exchange to cash and then buy Bitcoin with it, or something like that?

Sounds ok to me, but the fee is too big, 11.9%.

But they can't ban localbitcoin right so people will be still able to make bitcoin to fiat or vice versa until they can be able to find the sellers and buyers.

@joniboini
LBC is a regulated third-party platform (and later implemented KYC), thus, I cannot totally consider it as a P2P exchange.

I'm not sure why you guys considered me talking about Localbitcoins. Did I mention it in my post? I don't even recall writing about Localbitcoin here.

I'm talking about P2P, like peer-to-peer exchange as a way to trade, such as exchanging Bitcoin here on the forum, or using Telegram, or directly face-to-face. We've been able to do that since years ago and I'm sure it will be difficult for the government if they want to eradicate it. That's what I'm trying to say.

And how could they leave their private keys or mnemonics on a server with access to the internet...
Pen and papers is still the safest way to backup passwords.
I hope the hackers only had access to the Ethereum wallets.
I gave you 1 smerit. My last one...

I don't really know how Cryptopia handles their private key, but I'm pretty sure even the most secure exchange won't use pen and papers. It's not fast enough and even gave practical problems when they need to move and manage their wallet. Still, that doesn't mean they should leave it online either.

Let's hope the hacker(s) only hack their hot wallet, because if it's not, then Cryptopia is really doomed.

Is there some application, script or maybe some method to check or calculate potential activity of Bitcointalk account?

If you want to do some manual work:

1. Find when the member is registered.
2. Find what date is today.
3. Do a simple math = (date_today - date_registered) / 14 (rounded to the smallest number)

That's the potential activity, assuming the account always post at least once in 2 weeks / 14 days.

If you don't want to, then use achow code.
8665  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: is it possible to store the blockchain in two different hard drives? on: January 25, 2019, 12:20:35 PM
Blockchain is actually stored on many hard drives (replicated) and they 'work' simultaneously. The blockchain is simply a file/database, you can store and copy it many times.

If you're talking about running a node and then split your blockchain file to two different address, I doubt it's not possible because blockchain is stored in a single file, blk*.dat (in Bitcoin). If you split it (that single file) into two (not sure how you did this, I assume you'll split it and therefore break the data, just like a broken zip file) you won't be able to use it because it's corrupt. You can read further here[1].

That's what I understand at least, maybe someone smarter than me has a different opinion.

As far Bitcoin wallet is concerned it is technical stuff

Tbh I don't think Bitcoin is that technical (for daily usage). While it's true it is required to have somewhat deeper knowledge to fully embrace the tech, to be able to use it regularly we don't have to do that. For example, to create an address, you don't have to understand how BIP32 works, they can simply open Electrum, generate a new address and so on.

This technical barrier is quite low tbh. We don't have to spend hours learning about it.

Thank you for your appreciation. You are correct I really need a big budget to achieve a good result. I'm thinking of giving rewards worth of bitcoin weekly so that many users would join the platform. Also, I'm thinking of giving rewards to those who would invite to come to the community(like an afffiliate).

Be careful with this strategy. I've known several forum which starts their advertisement by giving away/running a campaign dead after the campaign is over. I'm pretty sure organic traffic will come to your site when someone can find something unique which is not replaceable or can't be found on another site.

Anyway, good luck with your project.
8668  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: FAKE FRAUD exchange SCAM to make you deposit and TRAP BTC SITE: "CRYPTOEXPO.NET" on: January 25, 2019, 07:57:21 AM
IIRC this is an old scam strategy. I'm not sure which site previously use this trick to scam users, but I'm sure cryptoexpo is not the first and the last one. They'll probably start another site with the same purpose. But their trick will be the same. Be careful, don't trust any random guy asking for help especially on the internet.

If there's enough interest, we might turn the OP into a collection of userscripts (with small features that might actually be added to the forum in the long run if they turn out to be really useful for a lot of people).

I support this. I've used some user scripts being posted here but when my laptop went broke I have a hard time finding the script again. It would be nice if there's an index thread for any useful user script for the forum.
8670  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Price Defends $3.5K After Cboe Pulls ETF Proposal on: January 25, 2019, 04:00:17 AM
it seems like the bull run will really be delayed, for the time being ETF is still not received and still waiting until February again.

I don't think so. In fact, ETF withdrawal doesn't affect market movement at all (at least up to this point). Looks like people were never expecting ETF to happen and so this news doesn't bring any new sentiment to the market. Most likely we will go sideways for the next few months before we can see new price action.

You can also check this analysis which argues that we're at the bottom[1], so there should not be any sudden price movement even though fundamental looks bleak or great.

How big is the chance that Cryptopia founders were exit scamming? Exit scams appear to occur again periodically among ICOs and some exchanges during a bear market.

Should we expect more of it hehehe?

So glad that I stop using Cryptopia since months ago. I don't think they're doing an exit scam because there is no definite proof yet but at least we can say they're pretty irresponsible and somehow powerless to prevent the worse to happen. But if they don't want to repay the money of their users, I'm pretty sure anyone would say they're doing an exit scam.

Let's wait the result of police investigation (if it ever comes out).
8672  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Report: In Indonesia legal Bitcoin is based on commodities on: January 25, 2019, 02:58:58 AM
2. Anyone would be able to "exchange" their bitcoin for local fiat without going through 3rd party platforms.

We've been able to do that even before this rule comes out. And even if there's no clear statement about Bitcoin, we will still be able to do it and the government will need serious time and effort if they want to stop P2P exchange.

I think your first benefits is the most important one. Traders or crypto enthusiast would no longer need to feel anxious when they use cryptocurrency exchange because it is allowed by the government. If it was banned, then they'll need a hard time to exchange Bitcoin to fiat.
8673  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Crypterra Scam? They also cheated you? on: January 24, 2019, 02:54:39 PM
this business model of cloud mining is very disadvantageous to investors and very advantageous to the owner of cloud mining. Just look at the TOS that these cloud mining owners use on their cloud mining sites

I'm pretty sure people who join any cloud mining won't get any (decent) profits. They spend more to get pennies.  Not worth at all. But the irony is, some people will get blinded by the opportunity to get rich without doing anything. All of my friend who bought a cloud mining package in the past, in fact, make more money doing their usual job and they wanted to sell their cloud mining account now.

Let's just hope people get smarter so they don't fall for trap (or a disadvantageous business model) or scam project like this.

OP, are you the owner of the site?

You keep reposting an article from that sources and make it into a new thread, literally copy-pasting. It's best if you make it clear from the beginning because I bet someone will report your post sooner or later and you'll get banned.
8675  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO reached hard cap - 50 MILLION- not listed in an exchange - SCAM? on: January 24, 2019, 10:19:46 AM
On another perspective, I think it's a good strategy. You know what happens when there's no product and you list your token on the market? Straight dump. Instead of demanding to list on exchange asap, you should demand them to work on their product and see the progress. There's no need to rush listing on any exchange when the demand for the token is nonexistent. On top of that, I believe some people will eventually cry when they see the price fell really hard because of dumpers.

I can name a few if you want: Arround, XBASE, Essentia, etc.

Artikel-artikel agan sebisa mungkin berkualitas, berupa review sendiri (kata-katanya unik), dan Bahasa Inggris tidak terlalu parah. Sampai saat ini akun medium ane juga masih aman, ya gak tau nanti kalau dibanned ya Grin Kalau nanti kena ban akan ane ceritakan di sini.

Hmm, pengalaman ane berbeda dari agan mu_enrico. Ane udah dua kali bikin akun Medium. Pertama akunnya keban, ane rasa karena cuma follow" orang doang sama ngeclap" geje. Yang kedua ane buat nulis artikel bounty. Menurut ane sih tulisan ane cukup lumayan berfedah, Cheesy tapi yang kedua juga keban. Ane duga karena follow back, tapi bisa juga karena kontennya isinya promote ICO tertentu. Agak kesel juga karena Medium nge-bannya seperti Reddit, shadow ban. Baru tau akun ane diban ketika dikomplen salah satu BM.

Buat memastikan alasannya memang paling enak kontak support Medium. FYI Medium juga sering ngeblokir akun-akun penulis tertentu. Salah satuny Cryptomedication yang sering mengkritik Bitfinex (silakan diteliti sendiri kontennya). Ane sih udah ga make Medium buat bounty, Steemit lebih ramah bagi ane.
8677  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is Coinbase Telegram Group existed? on: January 24, 2019, 09:13:17 AM
Most groups on telegram are actually legit and there are some that came from popular sites but fake groups or unoficial groups arent really mean to scam inoscent people . they are built to discuss the said site and also the blockchain giveway that you are talking about is not a scam but its 100% legit if you will only login on your wallet , you will see that they are airdropping stellar lumens  .

I think he wanted to say that a few weeks ago a fake group was imitating Blockchain XLM airdrop program, which is why we should be more careful because it's fake and it aims to steal your money.

Anyway, long story short, I nearly fell to this kind of scam when I wanted to join an ICO. The fake channel uses the exact name of the ICO that I wanted to join, and oddly enough there is no mention about it on the official group even though the members on the fake channel reach thousands of people. I wonder if there are more cases like this.

p.s. it is also pretty weird that the image is showing "bitcoin" symbol in the wallet alone but the popup message says "supported cryptocurrencies: ETH"!

Yeah, this is what most confusing tbh. It seems the leaks come from a tweet of somebody who gets a special first look at Samsung S10, CCN also reports the same thing[1]. Anyway, I don't buy and use Samsung, Electrum or Core is my choice!

Any HARA Token holder can apply to be a field agent/data qualifier we have an article regarding your question. Please read this article on How HARA creates jobs for anyone with a mobile phone. There are a total of 10,113 farmers so far.

Thanks for the article. As far as I read it, I assume anyone can apply and then the filtering will be done through the apps? Btw, you also mention $700/month salary, is this paid in Hara or IDR?

Will check out the app later, and of course, apply to be a field agent. I'll probably write an article about this if I have the time.

so is the next sale not on the web provided? and if the next sale will be made on the exchange, does this not damage the price of the token later it becomes unstable, or can you explain how the concept you are planning

The sale is over, there will be no more token sale. The ICO was done on Tokenomy launchpad. I believe s/he means that HARA will be tradable on exchanges after the sale is over.
8680  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin collapse by a global government crackdown? on: January 24, 2019, 06:08:29 AM
The Internet is controlled by ISPs which are subject to government demands.

We can simply use an encrypted internet connection to connect the node. Use something like dnscrypt for example, and you can connect again with other nodes. I'm not really sure the government wants to ban Bitcoin (blocking their connection) because it's just a waste of resource. They might try to shut down any cryptocurrency exchange though so that people won't be able to cash out. But we can still trade offline, or use something like Bisq.

I don't think government crackdown will happen, but if it does, I believe we can find a solution for that.
