Both sites are a direct replica of themselves and have patterns of display, arrangement and design by color as the official [banned mixer]
I hope users do pay attention to silent details like the host domain (.IO) and be more conscious of where they are placing their Bitcoin which remains irreversible as not to feed the sink hole.
Yep and that's because they're phishing websites and trying to catch some customers directly from [banned mixer]. And that's why we need to raise awareness about how these tricksters and cons are just waiting for some customers to fall for them.

Both phishing sites above have been reported!

Thanks folks, keep it up and hopefully when someone finds another one. Don't forget to share it here if ever you encounter one with your searches.
902  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin an option for low- and middle-income countries [Fees & Costs] on: November 14, 2023, 10:56:46 PM
Yes, Bitcoin has been one of the greatest solution to the high cost of remittance fees. But obviously when the network is full and clogged, the fees also increases. This time, the highest was likely $8-$10 IIRC. But still compared it to the usual transaction fees we do in remittance centers, they're still kind of low. Anyway, the fees will drop down eventually when the network is empty again and there are lesser to no more demand for the ordinals. And if we're going to talk about if Bitcoin has been useful to us, in general, it definitely is and without a doubt that it has helped our lives more than the typical asset that we've got personally.

CZ always tweets "your funds are safu" every time something bad happens because he doesn't want people to withdraw coins because this will create a terrible situation for them.
You got it, it's always the script that people shouldn't worry because FUNDS are SAFU and you keep all of your assets still on our exchange because you don't need to think about anything because we hold the keys and not you.
-CZ

Another FTX will happen if people start panicking but problem is that DEXs are hard to use while Binance is super easy, had Binance card with high cashback, you can trade your coins in seconds... There are many reasons to use Binance... At the moment they are the best but this danger of losing coins always worries me. Altcoins that I trade don't have wallet like Bitcoin Core and I have to keep them on Binance, that's a huge problem for me.
It should have been a long time already since the emergence of the DEXes but it's true that they're harder to use while Binance and other CEXes are easy to use and that's why most users are going to them. Despite that they're the best for now, I believe that someday there will be another one to emerge if they keep always on playing like this with users fund or when people realizes that they never own anything when they deposit and stuck their funds there.

It is a typical scam.
They're making it attractive and making victims greedy by showing on how much BTC that they're about to get through their accounts. But in reality, those are just projections and not real amount that they're going to allow a user to withdraw. There's no easy money ,remember that.

2nd... they want me to deposit first into their wallet.

Maybe after this deposit i would lose my money.
That's the process of it and you'll never get it back once you deposit and there's no 0.2 BTC as it's all illusion.

First, people tend to think that business is the one for them that will lift them out of poverty or the hard situation of their lives now. I'd like to say that there are people that can do business and start from nothing. These people are for the business and there are people that finds a way to complain but they also want to start a business but they're voicing out the hardship they deal with. I'm not discouraging everyone but it's always the different situations that we're dealing with for starting and raising a capital. Some can easily raise it because they have no obligation for their families but some does it as well even if they're sustaining their families need. Now, looking at the brighter side for every situation that one aspiring businessman is dealing with. Look at these hardships as a challenge that you have to overcome. Not every journey that you plan will go according to what you've planned for.
906  Economy / Economics / Re: The Thailand government will distribute money to its citizens. Economists critic on: November 13, 2023, 11:58:17 PM
This is stimulus but for some conditions, it can't be spent for most of the basic needs of their citizens as you've mentioned mainly with the bills. Much better if this is like the subsidy that they does but if there are some conditions then for sure its people will think of what important thing they can use it for. Honestly, when a country does this, there's a possibility that it can be abused by the recipients although the control is there. The results will vary as well but with what I have seen for some countries that did this like for many times, they didn't able manage to comeback and overcome the inflation.

their government should permit its people to at least use it to pay for their bills. that's basic necessity also. so don't know how they are limiting the scope of their "stimulus" per se.
Rules are done and they're not allowed to do that. It's a stimulus for most that's tackling with specific industries that they want to inject with that demand. There is an economical reason and logic behind these decisions and rules that they've made. And most of the countries does this but the difference from the other ones that did this was the eligibility and industries where the stimuli can be used.

but for those who badly need this money, definitely they will be thankful for this government subsidy.
not many governments have such kind of initiatives so they better use the funds wisely. the possibility of abuse will always be there especially if there will be a lot of corrupt officials in their govt.
Well, for those who are eligible for this and will receive it. There is no reason for them to be ungrateful as they receive it for free so still, that's still a big help for them to at least get some help from anything that they are able to purchase with that subsidy.
907  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you work toward hodling bitcoin? on: November 13, 2023, 10:54:47 PM
For those that are accepting Bitcoin from their sold products, I think most of these merchants are using third party that automatically converts their Bitcoins into fiat.
Easily, you've got the option if you want to accept them and convert instantly or you get to hold that if you can for the sake of your investment. There's the boundary between being a businessman and keeping your store rolling with the profits you're making from those sold products and as well as being an investor from holding Bitcoin. Most businessman knows about that thing. Or if it's the opposite, you sell something and you get paid in fiat, you're also free to use a portion of that profit that shall go and will be used for buying Bitcoin.

The website is still existing if someone manually searches through Google. Let's nonstop give this a report to Google for it to be removed, we may not be able to remove the entire website but at least when it's gone through SEO is already a big help for newbies to avoid it.

He seems to have been well prepared for this that he's just recycling his old script. Having your platforms hacked one after another has certain advantages; you just have to Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V, rephrase a little, and, voilà, there's your familiar statement.
It seems effective if this is just for another publicity that he's doing and yeah, looks well planned and prepared for it. But for the concern of the users there, hoping everything is fine and before anything crazier happens, they should just remove their funds there and withdraw asap.

What do you mean this is effective for publicity? Poloniex is dying. A hack which costs it more than a hundred million dollars might be the final nail in the coffin. It's mind-boggling to call this well-planned and that Justin is prepared for this.
Good or bad publicity, it's still publicity. And with what Justin Sun seems to be an expert on this one, and that's why I think that it's still effective on that way. I'm not saying that it's effective because it's going to make Poloniex alive more. But the hype that Justin creates from doing these publicity stunts is always effective on his end because it's always became the talk of the crypto town everytime he publish something through his own socmed accounts.

Even given that Justin is that eccentric clown, I don't know how this could be used in his favor.
A publicity hungry clown would always see this on his favor. He'll ride situations even at the worst just to satisfy his hunger with that. Just as you have said, a recycled old script and that's his style.

I can't blame him. When btc wants to get away from you, it does.
LOL, like it is for real and it doesn't want to be owned by someone who really don't give the care and security that it deserves.

It sucks to lose 25btc but it is not the end of the world. If he keeps being sorry about it, some health problems will follow and that's when he'll realize he shouldn't have given too many fucks about it.
Yeah, not the end of his world but he'll surely be having hard time of getting up and starting to pull everything together. Resiliency of a person depends on how optimistic he is and if he's not like that, he'll dwell on this situation of being sorry and regret for a long time. I guess a week or even a month of sorrow is just fine and enough but if it takes longer, he does need to seek some professional help or not even from the professionals but to get and ask support from his immediate family.

I can tell you with a loud voice that out of 100% bitcoin holders 40% of us do not own a reliable storage where our bitcoin can not be touched or hacked by anyone untill it happens to any one of us before we could know that we need to buy one and store in our funds.
And that percentage of people including the institutions admitting that they're trusting more the exchanges. I have read an article about that admission but I can't find it anymore.

I won't even try to put some funds in there. I know that TONcoin boasts a lot with it features and then so its wallet is attached to that boast and then will make everyone seem to care and excited about it. But you know what? If you're going to have a discussion about this wallet on the forum, you'll see a lot of us are not optimistic about it. Why? Because they're even swarmed by scammers that are using their own platform and they don't do a lot to stop it. Such policies need for them to strictly apply but we don't see anything from them. Although they have some reporting feature if ever a concerned citizen finds one. And that's why if they're like that with their platform, how much more with the feature they have that includes financial matter like this wallet feature they have? Seems like a more favorable thing for the people living in there that uses it for their tricks.

When someone messages or emails you that you've won big money but you can't remember that you have joined any promo then that's an obvious scam.
Another scenario is when someone wants to give you money out of nowhere and you are just randomly picked, there's no free money anymore coming from a stranger nowadays unless that person is a content creator but usually they do it in person. So, going back with these unusual messages to you that they're generously going to give you $xxxxx money, that's already a sign that you have to ignore and delete their message and never respond to any of them.

And if the OP is in telegram, discord and other social media channles, you will likely receive unsolicited offers or PMs.
Ignore them as much as possible as more than likely, they are just looking for naive users that will take their bait.
That's for sure, there will be bunch of messages from those platforms because those have became the den of thieves, scammers and everything. If he's going to take the bait then it will be a nonstop inquiry of these scammers on him trying to get some pennies on him. Actually not just pennies but most likely a lot of money or his entire lifesavings that's in the form of crypto.

And when it comes to phishing emails, don't believe too-good-to-be-true emails, because the chance is they are really bogus.
Just forget about them and don't even give them chance by looking at any of those. Never be curious what's the content of it because if you have received some that type of emails before then it will never stop anymore because it's already recorded on these scammers and will continue to send you an attempt.

Now a days , Bitcoin market is crashed
and no one knows when this wave will grow up.
I'm not sure on which chart you are looking up to say that the Bitcoin market has crashed. If you're still living on the time when we peaked up to $69k and comparing it til' now, yes it's still low compared to that but we shouldn't lived to that moment because the market is changing and it is highly volatile so it is unlikely to stay for that long on that price range.

Its time to buy Bitcoin because it's price will go to 50k Dollars.
It should have been done earlier when it's even under $20k but regardless of that, we'll still go up and will pass that price.

Printing of money does not control the price of Bitcoin. World Economy is controlled by super powers , Dollars impacts on every country's economy. Strength or Weakness of Dollar controls economy of World, Dollar is available in every country and USA can't fall Dollar value and Dollar price will go up in future days and that's why inflation will occur and no one stop this.Eastern countries are in trouble because there,the price of Dollar is very high and they can't meet their expenses.
To sum it up, it's all about the global economy situation and from there is building up the demand for which how the price of Bitcoin comes up with.

This is one of the OG exchanges out there that have been one of the most popular when I was still new.

Justin Sun seems to be gifted; he's got the opposite of the Midas touch. LOL! And he also gets to remain nonchalant despite another debacle, this time happening in his other platform. It must also be another gift.
Yeah, it's always like he's into these deep holes that's making him more noisier again. Before it was with these tron's partnerships everywhere. Now, he's into these hacking incidents but this is more costly to him if it's for real.

He seems to have been well prepared for this that he's just recycling his old script. Having your platforms hacked one after another has certain advantages; you just have to Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V, rephrase a little, and, voilà, there's your familiar statement.

1. How are hacked crypto assets made re-usable?
2. Is tainted crypto also a thing?
3. Is there any higher regulatory authority that monitors crypto related illegal activity?
1. Like what others said, they use mixers for them to jumble its ownership and whoever tracks it will have hard time of tracing. Using one doesn't make it untraceable but make the path of tracing harder.

2. It is a thing when the exchanges are aware of the address where these tainted crypto came from like they have a list of blocked addresses. But I have read it from someone here before that it doesn't really matter at all. And going with that reasoning, if the exchanges or any organization don't have the list of where it is blocked then that ain't a thing.

3. I think US have but for this job, it is usually done by third party companies where they are paid to do so.
918  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Mixing USDT on: November 11, 2023, 01:42:31 AM
Not gonna suggest something that could make you mix your USDT. But isn't it that the regulators are all eyes on mixers like in tornado cash and also the other mixers that we're having right now? At the same time, we all knew how Tether can freeze our funds. So what if instead of you successfully mix that USDT of yours, your address might be flagged for some reasons like money laundering? If you want to hide your privacy, it's just best to swap or convert that fund of yours into Monero which you already know.

You bet it. That's how they look and legally robbing people's money. They seem to be smart and good looking and I am one of those people that have been gullible and thought that they're brilliant, intelligent and seems to be perfect. But thank goodness, that whenever if it seems too good to be true, they mostly not true.

going with the real world incidents, it's like an actual reset for the majority but what I don't like from this scene is that the rich became richer.   Undecided
Of course rich always get richer. It is not a fairy tales where you can meet a genie and all of a sudden you are granted with superhuman ability. It is a zero sum when the rich get poorer, nobody would have the motivation to improve with everything going zero sum.
I guess those people that have been once rich and then became poor, they've got still a poor mindset. Unlike the actual rich, they've got all focus on their riches and multiplying it and they just did it during the pandemic and it's going to continue while we're seems everything is back to normal now.

How to pull out the cash from electrum stored btc anonymously?
You need to use an exchange in doing that. But for some instance that there's no local exchange found in your country and the known exchanges won't support a withdrawal to your location, then they're right about finding a p2p market where you can sell those Bitcoins you've got on your electrum. Given the situation that you want to sell it anonymously, the choice of doing it on those platforms like bisq is one solution. You don't have much option at all since if your country banned Bitcoin, people are likely to cover themselves from being a holder of it if you try to go with your local p2p.
