I am just wondering how you would be able to detect that the user who asks to be whitelisted is genuine and not an already banned user coming back with a brand new IP (VPN, proxy, TOR), new email address, new username, and no connection with previously used BTC/ETH or other addresses. That could prove to be a tough background check.   

Tačno, ali zamisli koliko bi tek toga bilo da se u kampanjama daju bonusi za dobivene merite ili da to postane najvažniji faktor kod odlučivanja koga primiti a koga ne? Na sreću to nije tako jer kvalitetni menadžeri i dalje u obzir uzimaju i neke druge stvari.

Ti turci npr su se često žalili što nemaju svog predstavnika u ChipMixeru ili nekim drugim jačim kampanjama. Čak se pozivaju i na diskriminaciju, rasizam itd A razlog može upravo biti taj da bez obzira što imaju merita, oni koji odlučuju ne vide tu neki kvalitet. 

Izvini, tebe sam skroz zaboravio. dkbit98 stalno viđam jer često pišemo u istim temema dok si ti većinom u gamblingu.

Da, kod ChipMixera nema povlačenja novca i dodatnih naknada jer od njih dobiješ privatne ključeve pa radi s njima šta želiš. Ta splitting opcija je stvarno zgodna jer omogučuje da još bolje izbrišeš trag. Umjesto da pošalješ, izmiksaš i povučeš istu količinu (npr, 0.5 BTC), podjeliš to sebi na čipove različitih veličina koje potom možeš u narednih nekoliko dana slati sebi u svoj novčanik kako želiš.   

I would pick investing/buying bitcoin over mining. You need time and patience to pay off the costs for your mining equipment to start generating profits. But if just buy bitcoin and it goes up by 2%, you are already making gains minus any fees you might have had. Not to mention that mining gear isn't that easy to come by and the producers can't produce enough to meet the demand. Your equipment can become faulty, break, overheat. Your software can crash in the middle of the night or during the weekend while you are away from home. You need some technical knowledge to mine while any computer-literate person can buy a coin on an exchange.   

When you use Electrum as the interface for your Ledger hardware wallet, Electrum will ask you to create a new wallet. But this wallet alone is useless. It contains no private keys because all keys are kept on the hardware device.

OP is confused. He doesn't have a .dat file, just a regular wallet file created by Electrum. That file alone does nothing because it needs to be coupled with your Ledger device to open.

@marimanga
What happened with your seed? You needed those words when you configured your new wallet. You then had to enter them on your device as a security feature to check that you wrote them down correctly. To be able to enter them, you had to make a copy of them somewhere. Any chance to regain access to that copy?

For the time being, that vulnerability has been fixed. Even if something similar were to happen in the future, don't forget that it's phishing. You won't lose your coins unless you click on, download, install, and run the fake application. You see, you have to do plenty of things wrong to be affected. To be on the safe side, don't trust or click on any notifications that might pop-up in the future asking you to download a newer version. You should download the apps manually from the official website only and verify its signatures before you install and open it.

I just want to add that your warning about buying a hardware wallet from Ebay or Amazon is valid, however these companies have official resellers.

Ledger's Reseller Network consists of a group of official stores available worldwide. One can even apply to become an official Ledger reseller. A part of the reseller team is their Amazon Network with stores in the US, UK, France, Spain, Canada, Germany, Italy, and Japan. It's OK to buy from these stores as long as you reach out to them from Ledger's official website and not by searching for 'Ledger Nano S' on Ebay/Amazon, for example.

Trezor also links to a bunch of official resellers from their website. But none of them are on Amazon or Ebay.   

It's very little that the bounty hunters can do. They can ask, beg, or threaten the projects to pay them but they will most likely just be ignored. I doubt that a lawsuit can be filed since no contracts were signed and many projects are run by anonymous or fake teams. And which jurisdiction would that lawsuit be filed in!? 

I proposed a long time ago that bounty organizers should be made to pay a certain amount as collateral that would be held by a forum escrow before they be allowed to create a bounty campaign. That money would be returned to them if they did what they promised or shared with the bounty participants if they don't deliver. However, such a proposal wasn't well received because many people thought that would seem like the forum was whitelisting, promoting, and supporting certain campaigns over others. Bounty hunters would have a fake sense of security. But I am still convinced that is something that could work and is better than the scamming freak show we have now.

Social media bounties have the least promotional effect, but generate the most amount of spam. You said it yourself, if you have a Facebook account with thousands of friends and followers from all spheres of life, what are the chances they have any interest in crypto and are going to like the content you share? Instead of generating an interest in the project, you end up with nothing. Those posts and comments have no likes, shares, comments... No one wants to see them. And you will be limiting your friend circle who will eventually get sick of your posts and block you. 

You shouldn't. That's how you get negatively tagged or banned if one of your alt gets banned for any reason.

Satoshi is a man until proven otherwise. Satoshi is a male name of Japanese origin. Since we don't know his real identity, all we have to go by is the forum name he used. And that's one used for men, not women. If his username was Sophia, we should address him with 'her'. If it was TheJohnsons, I would call him 'they'. Alas, that is not the case.

ChipMixer je već danima pod DDOS napadima i njihova stranica https://chipmixer.com/ nije dostupna.

Ko želi da miksa coine treba da koristi isključivo ChipMixer preko TOR preglednika > http://chipmixerwzxtzbw.onion/.

Ne upisujte ChipMixer u Google search jer je Google sklonio zvaničnu stranicu iz rezultata pretraga. Dobit ćete samo lažne phishing stranice.
 
ChipMixer trenutno testira novu V3 verziju svoje stranice u kojoj koriste native segwit adrese. Poslje beta testiranja će vjeroatno biti javno dostupna ako ne budu prijavljene neke greške. @dkbit98 jesi testirao v3 verziju? 

Koriste ga na način da je bitan podatak koliko ste merita skupili u prethodnih 120 dana. Neko ko je skupio 2 će teško imati prednost u odnosu na onog koji je dobio 200. Iako jedan takav sistem gdje se nagrade korisnici koji dobiju dosta merita u jednom tjednu nije uopšte loš, postoji previše načina da ga se zloupotrijebi. S obzirom da svako ima pravo da dijeli merite onako kako on misli da je najbolje, nastat će grupe korisnika koji će meritovati jedni druge i ode sve onda nizbrdo. 

Even that can be dangerous if we look back what coins were in the TOP 10/20 just a few years ago and where they are now.

- Litecoin used to be a Top 5 coin. It's now in the 13th place.
- Steller is slowly dropping out of the Top 20.
- Monero and EOS have already dropped out.
- I remember that NEO was in the Top 10 a few years ago. It's sitting on #41 today.
- Iota, Dash, DigiByte, Verge have it even worse.

I have, yes, but that didn't help. I tried using Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, but it's the same thing on both. On my mobile, there was no captcha or a while, but it's there now as well.

Maybe I need to place a bet like Twinkledoe mentioned to be allowed to claim again. I'll take a look at today's offer to see if I can find anything with value. I  think it's better to know the reason and see a notification why you can't claim the faucet instead of being asked to solve the captcha over and over again.

When it comes to diversifying your portfolio to reduce the risks of market volatility, most crypto assets just follow the trajectory of bitcoin. If bitcoin starts dropping so does the majority of altcoins. Although diversification is generally a good idea, most of the time it doesn't do much good in the crypto niche.

One way to prevent losing short-term value is to convert your assets to stablecoins if you believe a significant drop is about to happen. That then opens up other potential problems that are tied to stablecoins like the uncertainty of their future and what they are backed by. Not to mention that most stablecoins are centralized assets (except DAI) that can be locked even if they are in your own personal wallet. Check out mk4's thread PSA: Most Stablecoins Can Be Frozen, Even in Your Own Wallets.

Is it no longer possible to claim the free bitcoin faucet? I noticed that you added a captcha that needs to be solved. But even when it gets solved, clicking on the claim button doesn't do anything. It just creates a new captcha and it goes around and around with no end in sight.

That is not the purpose the merit system was created for. It's supposed to be be used to reward good posts, and that is it.

You are suggesting merits as an additional bonus on top of the merits people already receive, is that it? Or are you thinking more of a system where merits are rewarded for certain services? The latter makes it look like merits are exchanged/sold for services, which shouldn't be done.

If merits are given as a bonus, where do those merits come from? Let's say we had a threshold where all members who earned 100 merits in a 30 days period get an additional 10 merits as bonus. But where do these 10 bonus merits come from? From the forum automatically? Theymos could probably automate something like that, but I don't think it will happen.

Maybe I still didn't understand the reward system you suggest, so please provide a precise example.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to the video. I was too busy withdrawing my imaginary bitcoin clown money from an online bookmaker. The fact is I made a nice little profit betting on a basketball match yesterday with 2.60 odds. Luckily the mempool is empty so the imaginary withdrawal fees are almost non-existent. I need a new monitor because the old one is acting up. I will use my winnings to buy one from a local tech store that happens to accept Satoshi's daydream coins.

Good day to you sir!   

To je neko izmislio da bi se izbjeglo da učesnici kampanja pišu kratke postove tipa upravi si, slažem se s tobom, hvala, itd. Ne vidim veliku razliku između 125 i 150 znakova pa da neka kampanja isključivo traži minimum od 150. Vjerovatno je to neki broj s kojim je taj bounty menadžer nekad krenuo i samo koristi isto pravilo u svim kanpanjama.

Kad smo kod broja znakova, mislim da je BestChange i njihov minimum od 200 znakova "najzahtjevnija" sig. kampanja u kojoj sam ja dosad bio. CM traži minimum od samo 100 znakova npr.
